Ferrante si è concentrata invece sulla componente produttiva/politica dell’immaginazione: il reale, senza di essa, non sembra “una faccia vera, ma una maschera” L’articolo analizza i tipi di immaginazione che i due autori (o, se si preferisce, le due voci narranti) rappresentano rivelando il dialogo intertestuale fra i loro testi.","PeriodicalId":82037,"journal":{"name":"Modern language notes","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134980735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Il testo sembra quindi un esempio abbastanza tipico di letteratura ekphrastica, nella quale spesso un artista verbale celebra l’opera di un artista visivo. L’ Ode , tuttavia, non è solo un ritratto dell’italo-argentino ma anche un autoritratto dello stesso lucano, in una fase particolarmente complessa della sua carriera. Fontana e Sinisgalli si confrontano con una serie di contraddizioni, sia personali che di carattere collettivo, nel periodo che va dal Fascismo al cosiddetto miracolo economico degli anni Sessanta.","PeriodicalId":82037,"journal":{"name":"Modern language notes","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134980746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Feeding Fascism: The Politics of Women’s Food Work (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2022), utorontopress.com/9781487528195/feeding-fascism, xvi+276 pages Vittorio De Sica’s 1948 Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thieves) marked world cinema with its raw representations of poverty in Italy following World War II. Faithful to its neorealist tenets, the filmmaker used food, from homemade frittata sandwiches to mozzarella in carrozza (fried mozzarella), to comment politically on the working-class Italians’ hopes and despairs after Fascism. While food predominates the narration of the film, its images of domestic kitchens also [End Page 220] provide ample information about the material lives of the protagonists, their poverty and their will to survive. Maybe less memorable than the famous scene where father and son share a meal to the notes of Tammurriata nera (Black Drumsong) in the Roman trattoria, stoves, pans and cooking utensils offer a more granular and lifelike sense of contemporaneous reality. Fascism had fallen but the material world it had built for Italians was all they had. Nearly thirty years later, Ettore Scola’s 1977 film, Una giornata particolare (A Special Day), returns viewers to that reality, to the apartments in the projects built by Mussolini in Rome and other large Italian cities. Though our attention is focused on the interactions between a housewife and her gay neighbor—played by Sofia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni—we are also shown interiors where they interact with objects, fixtures and furnishings that organize the fabric of their experiences. While the rest of the neighborhood is away at a state parade, the two characters can finally live and express themselves in an environment where the woman would otherwise be ignored and the gay man ostracized. Reading Diana Garvin’s analysis of other historical artifacts in Feeding Fascism: The Politics of Women’s Food Work may recall these films that draw our attention to kitchens as places of not only toil and duty but also negotiation with—and, at times, of direct resistance to—the powers ruling everything, from the head of the family to the government. Like the films, Garvin’s work announces that the comprehensibility of the feelings, stories and struggles from those kitchens can only be partial without understanding their physical, tangible, tactile features. In the afterword, Garvin invites future researchers to consider “the power of the small”: To get at the feel of women’s experiences of Fascism, we need to rummage through the dented cheese graters, crumpled chocolate wrappers, and scratched matchbooks that they touched every day. […] [P]ropaganda travels not through textual dictates but through material details. These meanings are so subtle, yet so ubiquitous, that even the designers themselves may be unaware of their presence.1 Garvin’s research showcases the mate","PeriodicalId":82037,"journal":{"name":"Modern language notes","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134889024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Italian Detective Fiction in a European Context: National, International, Transnational","authors":"Robert A. Rushing","doi":"10.1353/mln.2023.a910967","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/mln.2023.a910967","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract: Detective fiction and place have always been tightly connected, both within the fiction itself and within the criticism. In this article, I look at French, Scandinavian and Italian crime fiction, with an eye not only to what a comparative analysis shows (traditionally rooted in a relatively static notion of national literatures that are assumed to be more or less “comparable” and thus in some sense equivalent) but—more importantly—to what an analysis attentive to a transnational understanding shows. The notion of the international and the idea of comparative are remarkably close in locating themselves in an abstract space between two objects of attention. Those objects are, in their abstracted state, more or less equal. What is lost in those abstractions is precisely what is not lost in the space of the transnational, since transnational movements are always from one specific place to another. Transnational studies should always capture the question of the asymmetric and differential power between nations and cultures—what makes it easy to go to some places, hard to go to other. Broadly speaking, I look at two very different kinds of crime fiction. First, the international thriller, in which the detective moves effortlessly around the world, the movement of Bauman’s “liquid modernity”—a genre that is, unsurprisingly, strongly associated with an invisible privilege and prestige. This subgenre is perhaps most tightly associated with the Anglophone world but certainly appears in France and Scandinavia as well. Second, what I call the “Euro-procedural”, a form that was pioneered by the Swedish authors Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöo in the 1960s but that has particularly flourished in the age of globalization, perhaps particularly in Italy. The Euro-procedural stresses, like all procedurals, the grinding and unpleasant day to day work of the detective, caught between a hostile public and a decaying European state; not every crime in the Euro-procedural involves other nations but, when they do, their transnational or transcultural nature is clearly marked, as human capital and valuable illicit materials like drugs are trafficked from the (relative) periphery to the (relative) center. Broadly speaking, the Euro-procedural insists on the boundaries that demarcate national spaces but does so in order to stress both the weakness of the nation state in an era of global crime and movements of capital, material and persons and also to stress the asymmetric relations of power between different nations or cultural spaces.","PeriodicalId":82037,"journal":{"name":"Modern language notes","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134889474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
