Garrard, Greg.

Ecocriticism / Greg Garrard.

2nd ed.

Abingdon, Oxon ; New York : Routledge 2012

The new critical idiom.

Abstract: Ecocriticism explores the ways in which we imagine and portray the relationship between humans and the environment in all areas of cultural production, from Wordsworth and Thoreau through to Google Earth, J.M. Coetzee and Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man. Greg Garrard's animated and accessible volume traces the development of the movement and explores its key concepts, including: pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and earth. Featuring a newly rewritten chapter on animal studies, and considering queer and postcolonial ecocriticisms and the impact of globalisation, this fully updated second edition also presents a glossary of terms and suggestions for further reading in print and online. Concise, clear, and authoritative. Ecocriticism offers the ideal introduction to this crucial subject for students of literary and cultural studies.

Diritti umani e teoria critica : per un'idea di universalismo pluralista / Claudio Corradetti

Broni (Pavia) : Altravista, ©2018

Teoria e ricerca sociale e politica ; 11

Abstract: Nowadays human rights are the lingua franca of international relations and cooperation policies bewtween states. However, they are also fragile tools, sometimes manipulated to develop national interests. How can we observe the universal principles of human rights? How do we justfy the legitimate practices derived by them? In this book, the author analyses philosophical and juridical matters to suggest the political and constitutional lines underlying the people ideal of justice. The core of the debate is the most recent theory by J. Habermas, leading exponent of the Critical Theory nowadays, and one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. The author discusses this line of thought, suggesting that human rights open a new dimension of universalism, a level here defined in terms of "pluralistic universalism".

Vivaldi / Michael Talbot.

London : Dent, 1978.

The Master musicians series

Abstract: Vivaldi has emerged during the last decades as a truly major composer of the early eighteenth century, perhaps the most significant after Bach and Handel. Yet both the range and the variety of his compositions are insufficiently appreciated. Besides the 500 or so concertos, many of which are already prominent in the concert repertoire, the instrumental works include several overtures and sonatas. The vocal works embrace not only the relatively familiar sacred music but also a wealth of secular music from solo cantata to full-scale opera. Whitin each broad category Vivaldi shows himself to be an extraordinarily inventive composer whose earlies reputation for repetitiousness is wholly undeserved. Taking account of recent research, to which he himself has made important contributions -- for instance, the discovery in 1973 of a set of violin sonatas -- Dr Talbot examines the life and works of this remarkable musician in their Venetian, Italian and international settings. Special attention is paid to the neglected areas of his creativity, and thee is a comprehensive catalogue of works, supplemented by an index to works and collections mentioned individually in the text.

Joannides, Paul.

Titian to 1518 : the assumption of genius / Paul Joannides.

New Haven : Yale University Press, c2001.

Abstract: The work that Titian produced during the first decade of his career is beautiful and varied, but it has raised many questions of attribution and chronology. This book - the first thorough and coherent account of this period in Titian's life - reconstructs what he painted, when he painted it and what these paintings mean. Paul Joannides begins by discussing the probable course of Titian's early career and his relationship to the Bellinis. There are individual excurses on Giorgione and on Sebastiano del Piombo whose work has often been confused with his. Joannides then offers new interpretations of some of Titian's paintings, emphasising their poetic and dramatic qualities. Among other topics, he associates for the first time the paintings in Saint Petersburg, Venice and Houston; lays out Titian's part of the Fondaco; connects the privately owned Resurrected Christ with the Fogg Circumcision; integrates the Dresden Venus and the Berlin Portrait into Titian's work; and establishes the dynamism and inventiveness of the great Assunta of 1516-18. Joannides provides detailed arguments in support of both new and familiar attributions, proposes a more closely reasoned and precise chronology than has been attempted hitherto, and shows the artist to be one of the most sensitive and profound of all interpreters of modern and classical narratives.
