Sommario/riassunto |
|
Miguel de Cervantes conceived his final work, The Labours of Persiles and Sigismunda: A Northern Story (1617), as a great prose epic that would accomplish for its age what Homer and Virgil had done for theirs. And yet, by the eighteenth century Don Quixote had eclipsed Persiles in the favour of readers and writers alike and the later novel is now virtually forgotten except by specialists. This study sets out to help restore Persiles to pride of place within Cervantes's corpus by reading it as the author's summa, as a boldly new kind of prose epic that casts an original light on the major political, religious, social, and literary debates of its era. At the same time it seeks to illuminate how such a lofty and solemn ambition could coexist with Cervantes evident urge to delight. Grounded in the novel's multiple contexts - literature, history and politics, philosophy and theology - and in close reading of the text, Michael Armstrong-Roche aims to reshape our understanding of Persiles within the history of prose fiction and to take part in the ongoing conversation about the relationship between literary and non-literary cultural forms. Ultimately he reveals how Cervantes recast the |

prose epic, expanding it in new directions to accommodate the great epic themes - politics, love, and religion - to the most urgent concerns of his day. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Questo lavoro si propone di colmare alcuni vuoti storiografici riguardanti l'economia e le attività commerciali di Napoli e dei suoi porti satelliti nei decenni a cavallo del Quattrocento utilizzando fonti inconsuete e di difficile uso come le pratiche di mercatura toscane e le tariffe veneziane. All'analisi di quei materiali si è aggiunto lo studio di lettere commerciali spedite al Mercante di Prato da operatori presenti su quelle piazze. Ciò offre due piani di lettura il primo, dei quali riguarda gli aspetti metodologici della ricerca. Dal secondo, quello dei risultati, emerge un quadro particolarmente articolato in cui la regione napoletana appare come un appetibile mercato di sbocco per i panni di lana e i drappi serici confezionati nelle città dell'Italia centro-settentrionale e al tempo stesso un importante mercato di approvvigionamento di alcune materie prime e molte derrate alimentari. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Food and Cultural Studies re-examines the interdisciplinary history of food studies, from the semiotics of Barthes and the anthropology of Levi-Strauss to Elias's historical analysis and Bourdieu's work on the relationship between food, consumption and cultural identity. The authors then go on to explore subjects as divserse as food and nation, the gendering of eating in, the phenomenon of TV chefs, food-related moral panics and the ethics of vegetarianism." |
