Abstract

Antonio Negri, one of Italy's most influential and controversial contemporary philosophers, offers in this book a radical new interpretation of the nineteenth-century Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi. For Negri, Leopardi is not the bitter, idealistic individualist of conventional literary history, but rather a profoundly materialist thinker who sees human solidarity as the only possible solution to the catastrophes of history and politics. Negri traces Leopardi's resistance to the transcendental idealism of Kant and Hegel, with its emphasis on reason's power to resolve real antagonisms into abstract syntheses, and his gradual development of a sophisticated poetic materialism focused on the constructive power of the imagination and its "true illusions." Like Nietzsche (who admired him), Leopardi provides an alternative to modernity within modernity, expressing a force of rupture and recomposition—a uniquely Italian one—that is as relevant now as it was in the nineteenth century, and which connects to the theory of Empire as the political constitution of the present that Negri has elaborated in collaboration with Michael Hardt.

Abstract

The major themes and human concerns expressed in Leopardi's writings are related to his life experiences and to the historical period in which he lived. Of central interest are the book's discussions of nobility and love as these two themes evolve and change as Leopardi acquired a more general and universal conception of life. The fascinating admixture in his work of classical and modern perspectives on life and literature is highlighted throughout the book.

Abstract

In this first detailed and comprehensive account of Leopardi's theory of poetry, G. Singh assesses both the literary and critical attainments of a poet whose eminence ranks him with Dante and Petrarch. Singh's analysis, which employs extensive reference to Leopardi's work in order to illustrate the author's own comments, sets forth Leopardi's views on the larger questions of tradition, inspiration, and the imagination in poetry. Later chapters are concerned with the more specific matters of the poetic image, style, and language.

Abstract

Selections from Leopardi's prose masterwork, Zibaldone, one of the great intellectual diaries in European literature, expertly translated by Tim ParksRevenge-Revenge is so sweet one often wishes to be insulted so as to be able to take revenge, and I don't mean just by an old enemy, but anyone, or even (especially when in a really bad mood) by a friend.-from Passions The extraordinary quality of Giacomo Leopardi's writing and the innovative nature of his thought were never fully recognized in his lifetime. Zibaldone, his 4,500-page intellectual diary-a vast collection of thoughts on philosophy, civilization, literary criticism, linguistics, humankind and its vanities, and other varied topics-remained unpublished until more than a half-century after his death. But shortly before he died, Leopardi began to organize a small, thematic collection of his writings in an attempt to give structure and system to his philosophical musings. Now freshly translated into English by master translator, novelist, and critic Tim Parks, Leopardi's Passions presents 164 entries reflecting the full breadth of human passion. The volume offers a fascinating introduction to Leopardi's arguments and insights, as well as a glimpse of the concerns of thinkers to come, among them Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Wittgenstein, Gadda, and Beckett.

Abstract

La vie, chez les Komo, est conçue comme un écoulement progressif qui, suivant le cours du soleil et celui des rivières de leur territoire, va d'est en ouest et d'amont en aval, et c'est en termes d'ouverture et de fermeture que l'on rend ce qui favorise ou empêche ce mouvement. Tout problème vital est élargi à ces dimensions cosmologiques, mais ne pourra être traité, la vie s'écoulant nécessairement vers la mort, que moyennant une mort sacrificielle qui permettra à la vie de revenir à sa source. Ce renversement dont les ancêtres, origine de la vie, garantissent la possibilité ontologique, est rendu possible, sur le plan logique, grâce à l'emploi successif des couleurs blanche et rouge. Celles-ci assurent la transposition métaphorique entre les diverses oppositions cosmologiques et permettent leur application métonymique aux personnes à traiter. Le rituel initiatique de la circoncision met cette vision du monde en œuvre d'une façon exceptionnellement riche et complexe, intégrant dans le jeu de ses propres significations, et selon des procédés fort divers, toute la symbolique culturelle. Dans cette mise en œuvre les principales différenciations sociales sont également données à voir d'une manière privilégiée, du fait de l'intégration de leurs significations dans celles de l'ensemble rituel. Dès lors, le rituel lui-mème est à voir comme une relecture thématique, totalisante et unifiante de la culture dans ses rapports avec les événements concrets de la vie. Bien que construit à partir d'un système de significations qui le déborde, il crée lui-même son signifié et même l'objet de ses activités. Ce dernier n'est donc pas à chercher dans quelque réalité sociale préexistante. Life amongst the Komo is seen as a graduai outflow which. following the course of the sun and the rivers of their territory, passes from cast to west and from source to flood. and it is in terms of opening and closing thaï one must describe the factors which help or hinder this progress. Every vital…

Abstract

"This book presents a comprehensive account of features of Latin that emerge from dialogue: commands and requests, command softeners and strengtheners, statement hedges, interruptions, attention-getters, greetings and closings. In analyzing these features, Peter Barrios-Lech employs a quantitative method and draws on all the data from Roman comedy and the fragments of Latin drama. In the first three parts, on commands and requests, particles, attention-getters and interruptions, the driving questions are firstly - what leads the speaker to choose one form over another? And secondly - how do the playwrights use these features to characterize on the linguistic level? Part IV analyzes dialogues among equals and slave speech, and employs data-driven analyses to show how speakers enact roles and construct relationships with each other through conversation. The book will be important to all scholars of Latin, and especially to scholars of Roman drama"

Abstract

In these essays Northrop Frye addresses a question which preoccupied him throughout his long and distinguished career - the conception of comedy, particularly Shakespearean comedy, and its relation to human experience.In most forms of comedy, and certainly in the New Comedy with which Shakespeare was concerned, the emphasis is on moving towards a climax in which the end incorporates the beginning. Such a climax is a vision of deliverance or expanded energy and freedom. Frye draws on the Aristotelian notion of reversal, or peripeteia, to analyse the three plays commonly known as the 'problem comedies': Measure for Measure, All's Well That Ends Well, and Troilus and Cressida, showing how they anticipate the romances of Shakespeare's final period.
