This issue of Engramma overviews various critical approaches from today’s Wilde Studies in Italy and shows how the author still provides ample space for debate in current Italian culture. The nine contributions span the fields of biography, autobiography, and studies on the self, with special attention to the concepts of self-fashioning and celebrity and pop culture (Gino Scatasta’s Nebbie londinesi e capziose dimenticanze. Wilde lettore di Dickens and Pierpaolo Martino’s Pop Wilde. Oscar Wilde nella popular culture), semiology and visual studies (Massimo Stella’s A labbra aperte: l’Immagine-Ferita di Dorian Gray. A Portrait… a Picture… a Thing?), film studies (Francesco Zucconi’s ‘Rischiare la pellicola’. Nascita del montaggio e fine del cinema in Salomè (1972) di Carmelo Bene”), performance studies (Elisa Bizzotto’s Oscar Wilde and the Rewriting of Medieval Drama and Stefano Tommasini’s “Crazed by the rigid stillness”.

Gilgamesh to Gierach

Auteure: James W. White

Nombre de pages: 180

Fish have figured profoundly in both human history and imagination for millennia. They are both gifts of the sea, drawing civilizations to the water, and terrors of the deep, holding revelations of the unconscious and the unknown. Today, fly fishing attracts millions looking to escape modern life and reconnect with some primal, meditative instinct to partake in nature’s offerings. Gilgamesh to Gierach is a collection of three hundred fishing, water, and fish tales spanning four millennia and numerous genres. More than a historical overview, White has distilled this immense topic into threads that flow through time, from legends and literature to nursery rhymes, poems, and humorous fish tales. Anglers will discover fly fishing’s ancient roots and spiritual seekers the fish’s religious and existential implications. Among the included voices are Homer, St. John, Ovid, Brendan the Navigator, Dame Juliana Berners, Shakespeare, Walton, Melville, Yeats, Thoreau, Hemingway, Rodrick Haig-Brown, and Norman Maclean. Whether told in full or, more often, condensed, these stories will leave the reader with a strong sense of the fish’s significance to many of the world’s greatest...

Her Sunburnt Country

Auteure: Deborah Fitzgerald

Nombre de pages: 328

The official biography of Australian poet and writer Dorothea Mackellar, author of the celebrated poem ‘My Country.’ 'I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains…’ Though many Australians know lines from Dorothea Mackellar’s classic poem ‘My Country’ by heart, very little has been written about the poet’s extraordinary life. From her childhood and youth in Sydney’s Point Piper, to discovering her love for the Australian landscape on the family farm in Gunnedah, Dorothea engaged with the intellectual elite of Sydney and abroad as she embarked on a decades-long literary career that saw her linked to some of the leading lights of her day. A keen traveller, Dorothea ventured as far as Japan, Egypt and the Caribbean between longer stints in Europe. In the heart of literary London, she socialised with Joseph Conrad and Ezra Pound. At home, she counted among her friends Ether Turner, the famed war correspondent Charles Bean, and journalistic royalty in the form of the Fairfax family. Never before published letters and diaries reveal her unorthodox relationship with her best friend and collaborator Ruth Bedford. Battling against a masculine tradition of...

Nombre de pages: 114

Dai feticci industriali all'indagine sul divismo hollywoodiano, dal tema della morte al travestitismo, dal cinema underground all'arte commerciale, l'estetica warholiana rivela una continua sovrapposizione mimetica con la sua fonte iconica principale, l'America, metafora assoluta di una contemporaneità ridotta a superficie.

Unfettered and Alive

Auteure: Anne Summers

Nombre de pages: 704

'I was born into a world that expected very little of women like me. We were meant to tread lightly on the earth, influencing events through our husbands and children, if at all. We were meant to fade into invisibility as we aged. I defied all of these expectations and so have millions of women like me.' This is the compelling story of Anne Summers' extraordinary life. Her story has her travelling around the world as she moves from job to job, in newspapers and magazines, advising prime ministers, leading feminist debates, writing memorable and influential books. Anne has not been afraid to walk away from success and to satisfy her constant restlessness by charging down new and risky paths. Whatever position she has held, she has expanded what's possible and helped us see things differently-often at high personal cost. Anne shares revealing stories about the famous and powerful people she has worked with or reported on and is refreshingly frank about her own anxieties and mistakes. She shares a heart-breaking story of family violence and tells of her ultimate reconciliation with the father who had rejected her. Unfettered and Alive is a provocative and inspiring memoir from...
