We will take a look at the cultural significance of the objects and their ability to adapt to a different cultural background, focusing at the same time on their narrative qualities.Show less

By the way of a narratological, contextual and comparative analysis we will be considering the significance of the theme in the novels Cenere by Grazia Deledda (1904), Una donna by Sibilla Aleramo (1906) and La casa nel vicolo by Maria Messina (1921); while also examining the plot, themes, endings and structure through a historic-contextual lens.Show less

They have nonetheless much in common. Not only did they live during the same day and age, they were both authors and journalists with a keen interest in the world and behaviour of animals. This is particularly visible in their short story collections dedicated to animals, Il Bestiario di Dino Buzzati (2015) edited by Lorenzo Viganò and Alle Dierenverhalen (1992). In their renderings of the animal world, they furthermore actively stimulated readers to leave behind their present position and share the perspective of the animal. This thesis centres around the concept of narrative empathy and explores the ways in which Buzzati and Koolhaas try to elicit an empathetic response from their readers. It thus takes on a comparative approach and, through a close reading analysis of some of the stories, investigates which narrative strategies can be said to influence the evocation of narrative empathy and thus, affect readers’s response. The first section offers a brief overview of the main features of Animal Studies and how the concept of empathy has evolved therein. Then follows a general discussion of the debates and studies surrounding Buzzati’s and Koolhaas animal narratives. The fourth chapter outlines the methodology and discusses the concepts that frame my analysis. The fifth chapter contains my interpretative efforts and offers an analysis of six short stories by Koolhaas and Buzzati. The conclusive chapter will reflect on my findings and point to interesting lines of inquiry for future studies.Show less

È stato elaborato un quadro teorico in cui questo fenomeno linguistico, le gerarchie e le tipologie verbali sono discussi in dettaglio. Sulla base di questo quadro, le due banche dati (PEC e BADIP) sono state esaminate. Inoltre il sondaggio ha fornito una visione aggiornata sull’uso dell’accusativo preposizionale. Questi dati sono stati confrontati tra loro e con la teoria, al fine di fornire una risposta alla domanda di ricerca: Quanto l’accusativo preposizionale sia diffuso nell’italiano parlato contemporaneo nell’Italia settentrionale e nella Toscana?Show less

Een dergelijke analyse stelt vertalers in staat om de vertaalstrategieën te identificeren die binnen de context van de maffia als het meest functioneel worden beschouwd en om zich bewust te zijn van de gevolgen waarmee ze rekening moeten houden bij het gebruik ervan met betrekking tot eventuele nuances die verloren kunnen gaan in het vertaalprocesShow less

In primo luogo è stata svolta un'analisi quantitativa del contenuto per stabilire la quantità di elzeviri, le date e gli intervalli di pubblicazione. In secondo luogo è stata fatta un'analisi qualitativa del contenuto tramite una codifica tematica per stabilire le tematiche ricorrenti. Sulla base di recensioni delle tematiche di vari elzeviri abbiamo tentato di dimostrare che l'etichetta 'Grazia Deledda verista', che è spesso stata applicata da gran parte della critica letteraria, sarà troppo angusta per poter definire la poetica della vincitrice del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, Grazia Deledda.Show less

He also wrote 33 letters as secretary for Jan Brueghel, his friend and painter. These 33 have also been included in the analysis. Within these Italian letters the mother language of Rubens, Flemish, shines through. Through epistolary style, these Flemish characteristics in Rubens' language have been extracted and analysed if they can be retraced to Italian or Flemish. For reference of these Flemish characteristics, the letters in Flemish of Rubens have been analysed.Show less
