ABSTRACT Almarina di Parrella promuove una prospettiva diversa sulla dimensione spaziale di Napoli con una specifica attenzione all’isola di Nisida, costruendo in tal modo un legame fra lo spazio nissologico e le relazioni che potrebbero sorgere nella prigione minorile situata sull’isola tra due individui privi di legami di sangue ma decisi ad affidarsi a vicenda, legalmente e affettivamente, per la loro futura esistenza. L’emergere di un amore diverso da quelli convenzionalmente presentati, che nulla ha che vedere con la trasgressione o con l’orientamento di genere ma, più semplicemente riguarda un incontro di anime, illumina il funzionamento di una relazione originariamente tra insegnante e studente: è evidente che l’incontro promuove aspettative reali e vicendevoli. Le interpretazioni culturali delle isole e il loro significato simbolico e psicologico nella tradizione letteraria recente (Ortese, Ramondino, Morante) confermano questa prospettiva ermeneutica.
Almarina di Parrella对那不勒斯的空间维度提出了不同的观点，并特别关注尼西达岛，从而在尼西达岛上的青少年监狱中，两个没有血缘关系但决心在法律上和情感上相互信任的人之间建立了一种联系，为了他们未来的存在。一种不同于传统表现的爱的出现，与越轨或性别取向无关，更简单地说，与灵魂的相遇有关，揭示了教师和学生之间最初关系的运作：很明显，这种相遇促进了真实和相互的期望。在最近的文学传统中（Ortese、Ramondino、Morante）对岛屿的文化解释及其象征和心理意义证实了这种解释学的观点。

ABSTRACT This article investigates how COVID-19 has rewritten the transnational connotations of recent Italian migration to Wales, reshaping issues of home, belonging, inclusion, and participation. On the one hand, examination of the relationship with the host country analyses whether and how the early phase of the pandemic impacted on Italians’ social integration and sense of embeddedness in Welsh society. On the other, a focus is placed on the relationship with the origin country, aiming to detect whether the crisis strengthened feelings of nostalgia and a desire to ‘return home’. To this end, four main fields are considered: social relations, cultural practices, sources of information, and travel patterns. Addressing these fields, discussion assesses the practices and strategies that Italian migrants in Wales engaged with in order to maintain a connection with Italy despite the limitations and challenges posed by COVID-19.

ABSTRACT This article identifies a set of precarious, temporary, and travelling forms of commemoration that have been expressed in recent public artworks connected to Italy, and proposes them as case studies that together can enhance our understanding of how transnational memory is formed and functions across borders. These complex processes of memory-making are illustrated through a comparative analysis of Wes Anderson’s Bar Luce (2015), Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument (2013), and Muna Mussie’s Oblio (2021). The selected works, which together add transnational nuance to James E. Young’s concept of the ‘counter-monument’, enshrine the creativity which can reside in acts of forgetting and misremembering, in experiencing things second-hand or at a distance, and in re-materialising memory through tropes of ephemerality, portability, and dislocation.

Giordana Poggioli-Kaftan
ABSTRACT This article focuses on the intersections between recently politically emancipated Jewish painter Corcos and his representations of women in Liberal Italy in the paintings Annunciazione (1904) and Sogni (1896). In their subalternity, both Corcos and women inhabited a space of ‘in-betweenness’. Corcos lived and worked ‘in-between’ Catholicism and Judaism, as the painting Annunciazione demonstrates. Women in Liberal Italy lived ‘in-between’ the centre of the nation, as mothers of its children, and at the margins of it as individuals without political agency. Thus, the article highlights how Corcos’s diasporic identity is not dissimilar from that of women’s political condition as exiles in their own nation, as theorised by Friedrich Hegel. However, by transgressing patriarchal social conventions, tending to discipline women’s bodies in the public space, the painting Sogni points to a possible political agency that women might claim for themselves, precisely through the ‘impropriety’ of the woman’s bodily posture.

ABSTRACT Partendo dalle teorie sul trauma e la testimonianza di studiosi quali Sigmund Freud, Dominick LaCapra e Lawrence Langer, questo saggio studia il processo di trasmissione e sopravvivenza messo in atto da Alda Merini nel romanzo giallo La nera novella. Confinata per diversi anni all’ospedale psichiatrico Paolo Pini di Milano, Alda Merini nelle sue opere ricorda ossessivamente il trauma del confino. Nel presente saggio vedo come la poetessa, nell’impiego di una serie di spazi – che vanno dal condominio, al solaio, alla casa – e la costruzione testuale del labirinto, realizzata attraverso una completa distruzione linguistica e narrativa, attui il processo di testimonianza attraverso cui potersi riconoscere come sopravvissuta. Lo scopo di questo saggio è quello di riconsiderare il ruolo delle istituzioni psichiatriche in Italia e quello di far emergere, attraverso le parole della poetessa, il crimine commesso verso i malati mentali sia nel confino manicomiale sia nello stigma ed emarginazione del pazzo, fenomeni che purtroppo persistono tutt’oggi nell’opinione pubblica.

ABSTRACT This article analyzises how food was used in Fellini’s films. The analysis is introduced by references to the early stories written by Fellini for Marc’Aurelio and to the dreams noted by the director in Il libro dei sogni. In films, food describes the social context (from the hunger represented in the films in the 1950s to the televised excesses of Ginger and Fred). Food also takes on symbolic meanings: hunger is also a need for love, the need to fill one’s loneliness and the preparation of food is an expression of the desire to take care of others. In the article a periodisation of Fellini’s filmography is proposed that distinguishes three phases: hunger, lack of appetite, and disgust. The examination of the presence of food suggests an interpretation of Fellini’s oeuvre that is very far from the stereotypical image of his films widespread in large part of the public.

ABSTRACT This article considers Federico Fellini’s Le tentazioni del Dottor Antonio (1962), a fifty-minute episode in the omnibus Boccaccio ’70. While sometimes praised for its aesthetic and stylistic significance, the film remains largely overlooked and is considered a ‘bagatelle’ or ‘break’ in Fellini’s career. This article explores its valence as a promotional break between La dolce vita (1960) and 8 ½ (1963) and its overt thematisation of the mass image of advertising. Unpacking the film’s ostensible superficiality, the discussion is not so much focused on praising its originality, but on highlighting its conceptual, thematic, and aesthetic entanglement with mimicry and imitation. For the film not only addresses the mass image of advertising and the mimetic behaviour it relies on and encourages, but also itself enacts such mimetic behaviour in different ways. In so doing, it both taps into, and contributes to, contemporaneous concerns and debates about mass media and image culture.
