| uno nessuno e centomila: One, No One and One Hundred Thousand Luigi Pirandello, 2020-02-03 In Luigi Pirandello's thought-provoking novel, One, No One and One Hundred Thousand, the protagonist, Vitangelo Moscarda, undergoes a profound identity crisis after a casual remark from his wife. This sets him on a journey of self-discovery, questioning the nature of reality, identity, and the multifaceted perceptions others have of him. Through a series of philosophical musings and encounters with various characters, Moscarda grapples with the fragmented nature of the self and the illusions that shape our understanding of the world. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: One, None, and a Hundred Thousand Luigi Pirandello, 2024-09-17 One, None, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello is a profound exploration of identity, perception, and the fluidity of the self. In this novel, Pirandello presents a protagonist, Vitangelo Moscarda, who begins to question his sense of self after a casual remark about his appearance. This seemingly trivial event leads Moscarda to realize that he is perceived differently by every person he encounters, resulting in a crisis of identity. The novel delves into themes of existentialism, highlighting the disparity between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us. Moscarda's journey illustrates the fragmentation of identity, as he grapples with the notion that he is not a single, fixed individual but rather a multiplicity of selves shaped by the perspectives of others. The title itself — One, None, and One Hundred Thousand—reflects this idea, signifying the many versions of a person that exist in the minds of others, as well as the elusive nature of true self-knowledge. |

| uno nessuno e centomila: Uno, Nessuno, Centomila Luigi Pirandello, 2017-03-15 Uno, nessuno e centomila � uno dei romanzi pi� famosi di Luigi Pirandello. Iniziato gi� nel 1909, usc� solo nel 1926, prima sotto forma di romanzo a puntate edito in una rivista, la Fiera letteraria, e poi di volume. Questo romanzo, l'ultimo di Pirandello, riesce a sintetizzare il pensiero dell'autore nel modo pi� completo. L'autore stesso, in una lettera autobiografica, lo definisce come il romanzo pi� amaro di tutti, profondamente umoristico, di scomposizione della vita. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Characters and Authors in Luigi Pirandello Ann Caesar, 1998 Luigi Pirandello is best known in the English-speaking world for his radical challenge to traditional Western theatre with plays such as Six Characters in Search of an Author. But theatre is just one manifestation of his experiments with language which led to a remarkable collection of novels, short stories, and essays as well as his work for a film industry then in its infancy. This study, which is based on the view that Pirandello's writings are most fruitfully discussed in a European context, takes as its starting-point the author's belief in the primacy of the literary character in a creative process which is necessarily conflictual. The book argues that all Pirandello's characters are engaged in a continual performance which transcends the genre distinction between narrative and dramatic forms. In this performance it is the spoken word in which the characters invest most heavily as they struggle to sustain an identity of their own, tell their life-stories, and assert themselves before their most prominent antagonist, the author himself. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Digression Olivia Santovetti, 2007 This volume examines the workings of digression in the novels of five major Italian authors - Manzoni, Dossi, Pirandello, Gadda and Calvino - from the birth of the modern novel in the early 19th century to the era of postmodernist experimentation. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Uno, Nessuno e Centomila Felice Massaro, 2024-11-22 La paura del giudizio altrui è un potente motore che spinge gli individui a conformarsi alle aspettative sociali. La società viene rappresentata come una forza costruttrice e al contempo distruttrice dell'identità individuale. Le aspettative, i giudizi e le etichette che gli altri ci appiccicano modellano l’immagine di noi stessi costringendoci a conformarci a un modello prestabilito. Moscarda, temendo di essere giudicato per un difetto fisico, inizia un percorso di autodistruzione. La sua identità si disgrega quando si rende conto che gli altri lo percepiscono in modo diverso da come si percepisce lui. Ogni persona che incontra gli restituisce un'immagine diversa di sé, creando una molteplicità di identità che lo confondono e lo disorientano portandolo alla follia. L'identità, quindi, è un costrutto complesso e multidimensionale che si forma e si trasforma nel corso della vita attraverso le relazioni sociali. Comprendere questo processo ci permette di acquisire una maggiore consapevolezza di noi stessi e degli altri, e di valorizzare la diversità delle identità. La società contemporanea esalta l'immagine, l'apparenza, la costruzione di un sé perfetto sui social media. Questa pressione che induce a mostrarsi sempre impeccabili può portare a una profonda insicurezza e a una perdita di contatto con la propria autenticità. Inoltre, i modelli di successo imposti dalla società, quali la ricchezza o la fama, possono creare un senso di inadeguatezza in coloro che non riescono a raggiungerli. All'isolamento e alla marginalizzazione, con la conseguente profonda crisi identitaria, possono portare anche la paura del diverso e l'intolleranza verso chi non si conforma alle norme sociali. |

| uno nessuno e centomila: Authorial Echoes Catherine O'Rawe, 2017-12-02 Luigi Pirandello is best known for his experimental plays, but his narrative production has not enjoyed the same degree of critical attention. O'Rawe's study represents the first major reassessment of this output, including the 'realist' novels, the historical novel I vecchi e i giovani (1909) and the autobiographical Suo marito (1911). The book identifies in Pirandello a practice of 'self-plagiarism' - constant rewriting and revision and obsessive re-use of material - and explores the relation of these overlooked modes of composition to the author's own theories of authorship and textuality. Drawing on a wide range of critical theory, O'Rawe repositions Pirandello as a major figure in the development of European narrative modernism. |

Follow Sean as he candidly recounts his life growing up in a wealthy family all while discovering who he is amongst San Francisco's social elite. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: The Struggle for Life and the Modern Italian Novel, 1859-1925 Andrea Sartori, 2022-11-22 This book explores Darwinism in modern Italian literature. In the years between Italy’s unification (1861) and the rise of fascism, many writers gave voice to anxieties connected with the ideas of evolution and progress. This study shows how Italian authors borrowed and reworked a scientific vocabulary to write about the contradictions and the contrasting tensions of Italy’s cultural and political-economic modernization. It focuses, above all, on novels by Italo Svevo, Federico De Roberto and Luigi Pirandello. The analysis centers on such topics as the struggle against adverse social conditions in capitalistic society, the risk of failing to survive the struggle itself, the adaptive issues of individuals uprooted from their family and work environments, the concerns about the heredity of maladapted characters. Accordingly, the book also argues that the hybridization and variation of both narrative forms and collective mindsets describes the modernist awareness of the cultural complexity experienced in Italy and Europe at this time. |

| uno nessuno e centomila: One, None and a Hundred-thousand Luigi Pirandello, Samuel Putnam, 2020-08-31 One, No One and One Hundred Thousand (Italian: Uno, nessuno e centomila) is a 1926 novel by the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello. The novel had a rather long and difficult period of gestation. Pirandello began writing it in 1909. In an autobiographical letter, published in 1924, the author refers to this work as the ...bitterest of all, profoundly humoristic, about the decomposition of life: Moscarda one, no one and one hundred thousand. The pages of the unfinished novel remained on Pirandello's desk for years and he would occasionally take out extracts and insert them into other works only to return, later, to the novel in a sort of uninterrupted compositive circle. Finally finished, Uno, Nessuno e Centomila came out in episodes between December 1925 and June 1926 in the magazine Fiera Letteraria. (wikipedia.org) |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Luigi Pirandello Gian-Paolo Biasin, Manuela Gieri, 1999-01-01 Essays discuss the texts of Luigi Pirandello, one of the literary giants of this century and present an up-to-date re-evaluations of Pirandello's works, including his poetry, novels, short stories, plays, essays, letters, and memoirs. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Beyond Postmodernism Klaus Stierstorfer, 2012-05-02 After the veritable hype concerning postmodernism in the 1980s and early 1990s, when questions about when it began, what it means and which texts it comprises were apt to trigger heated discussions, the excitement has notably cooled down at the turn of the century. Voices are now beginning to be heard which seem to suggest a new episteme in the making which points beyond postmodernism, while it remains at the same time very uncertain whether what appears as newness is not rather a return to traditional concepts, theoretical premises, and authorial practices. Contributors to this volume propose to explore new openings and recent developments in anglophone literatures and cultural theories which engage with issues seen to be central in the construction of a postmodern paradigm, but deal with them in ways that promise new openings or a new Zeitgeist. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: A Shakespearean Reading of Pirandello’s Henry IV Manuel Macías Borrego, 2025-03-27 This book offers an innovative comparative analysis of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Pirandello's Enrico IV, structured in four chapters that explore the intertextual relationship between these two masterpieces. Beginning with an introduction that lays the groundwork, the text moves to a section titled Preliminary Considerations, which defines the study’s focus and establishes the critical methodology. The core of the book, the central chapter entitled Comparative Study, delves deeply into the shared and contrasting elements between the two tragedies, presenting an original and cumulative interpretation that connects key concepts like original sin, farce, simulacrum, and simulation. The theoretical approach, carefully developed and organized into thematic blocks, unfolds with analytical rigor to offer a Shakespearean reading of Enrico IV. This study is an essential reference for those seeking to understand the complex interrelations between these two great texts and their relevance in contemporary literature and criticism. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Framing Literary Humour Jeanne Mathieu-Lessard, 2020-01-23 Contrary to what their oppressive design would lead us to believe, might structures of imprisonment actually incite humour? Starting from the most obvious areas of imprisonment (war camps, prison cells) and moving to the less obvious (masks, bodies), Framing Literary Humour demonstrates how 20th-century humour in theory and in fiction cannot be fully understood without a careful look at its connection with the notion of imprisonment. Understanding imprisonment as a concrete spatial setting or a metaphorical image, Jeanne Mathieu-Lessard analyses selected works of Romain Gary, Giovannino Guareschi, Wyndham Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov and Luigi Pirandello to reconfigure confinement as an essential structural condition for the emergence of humour. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Crosspaths in Literary Theory and Criticism Gregory L.

| uno nessuno e centomila: Modern Italian Literature Ann Caesar, Michael Caesar, 2007-09-11 This authoritative and vividly written book brings readers into the heart of Italian literary culture from the 1690s to the present. It probes the work of major authors in their broad cultural context, traces the history of audiences and publishers, explores the shifting relationship between public and private, assesses the impact of significant historical trends and events on creative processes, and establishes the continuities as well as the discontinuities of the Italian literary tradition. A synoptic overview at the beginning of the volume is designed to help the reader get her or his bearings in the detail of the nine chapters which follow. Using an essentially chronological framework, the book is divided into three major cultural time-spans: the long eighteenth century, the decades of national identity formation and the creation of modern', industrial Italy between 1816 and 1900, and the twentieth century with its constant renegotiation of national cultural identity. A final epilogue provides a snapshot of Italian literary culture in the near-present. This is a book which will be readily accessible to students and all those interested in Italian culture, and at the same time is based on the most up-to-date scholarship. New readings of the canonical authors rub shoulders with a refreshing attention to standard and popular writing, gender issues, and the interaction between written and oral forms, producing a history of modern Italian literature which is new in its conception and its scope. |

The distinctive nature of Italian theatre is expressed in the individual chapters by highly regarded international scholars. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Literary Diseases Gian-Paolo Biasin, 2014-07-03 Disease—real or imagined, physical or mental—is a common theme in Western literature and is often a symbol of modern alienation. In Literary Diseases, a comprehensive analysis of the metaphorical and symbolic force of disease in modern Italian literature, Gian-Paolo Biasin expands the geography of the discussion of this important theme. Using as a backdrop the perspective of European experiences of the previous hundred years, Biasin analyzes the theme of disease as a reflection of certain sociological and historical phenomena in modern European novels, as a metaphor for the world visions of selected Italian novelists, and especially as a vehicle for understanding the nature and function of fiction itself. The core of Biasin’s study is found in his discussion of the works of four major Italian writers. In his criticism of the novels of Giovanni Verga, who stood at the center of many complex developments in the nineteenth century, he examines the antecedents of modern Italian prose. He then scrutinizes the works of Italo Svevo and Luigi Pirandello, who together inaugurated the modern novel in Italy. Of particular interest is his exploration of their critical use of psychoanalysis and madness climaxed by apocalyptic visions. He then discusses the prose of Carlo Emilio Gadda, which epitomizes the problems of the avant-garde in its experimentalism and expressionism. Biasin utilizes a broad spectrum of critical approaches—from sociology, psychoanalysis, and different trends in modern French, American, and Italian literary criticism—in shaping his own methodology, which is a thematic and structural symbolism. He concludes that disease in literature should be considered as a metaphor for writing (écriture) and as a cognitive instrument that calls into question the anthropocentric values of Western culture. The book, with its textual comparisons and unusual supporting examples, constitutes a significant methodological contribution as well as a major survey of modern Italian prose, and will allow the reader to see traditional landmarks in European fiction in a new light. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Textual Wanderings Rhian Atkin, 2017-12-02 Digression is a crucial motif in literary narratives. It features as a key characteristic of fictional works from Cervantes and Sterne, to Proust, Joyce and Calvino. Moving away from a linear narrative and following a path of associations reflects how we think and speak. Yet an author's inability to stick to the point has often been seen to detract from a work of literature, somehow weakening it. This wide-ranging and timely volume seeks to celebrate narrative digressions and move towards a theoretical framework for studying the meanderings of literary texts as a useful and valuable aspect of literature. Essays discussing some of the possibilities for approaching narrative digression from a theoretical perspective are complemented with focused studies of European and American authors. As a whole, the book offers a broad and varied view of textual wanderings. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Fumo Carl David Ipsen, 2016-05-04 For over a century, Italy has had a love affair with the cigarette. Perhaps no consumer item better symbolizes the economic, political, social, and cultural dimensions of contemporary Italian history. Starting around 1900, the new and popular cigarette spread down the social hierarchy and eventually, during the 1960s, across the gender divide. For much of the century, cigarette consumption was an index of economic well-being and of modernism. Only at the end of the century did its meaning change as Italy achieved economic parity with other Western powers and entered into the antismoking era. Drawing on film, literature, and the popular press, Carl Ipsen offers a view of the cigarette century in Italy, from the 1870s to the ban on public smoking in 2005. He traces important links between smoking and imperialism, world wars, Fascism, and the protest movements of the 1970s. In considering this grand survey of the cigarette, Fumo tells a much larger story about the socio-economic history of a society known for its casual attitude toward risk and a penchant for la dolce vita. |

| uno nessuno e centomila: Trame del Fantastico Alessandro Cappabianca, 2012-11-09 Trame d'ombra, specchi oscuri, intrecci misteriosi. La materia stessa del film, pellicola trasparente e diafana sulla quale si muovono figure d'ombra, induce a pensare che la vocazione privilegiata del cinema sia nel fantastico, come già riteneva Artaud. I fantasmi, silenziose o sonore apparizioni, ci vengono incontro dallo schermo, in bianco e nero o a colori, da Nosferatu a Shutter Island: materia dei corpi come materia di sogni, incubi e visioni, portatori di maschere, generatori privilegiati di archetipi. Metafisico. Fantastico. Film noir. Horror. Termini usuali, ma inadeguati, per certi film. In realtà qui non siamo tanto di fronte a un'inadeguatezza terminologica, che si tratterebbe di superare inventando un termine più adatto, quanto alla generale insufficienza che l'ottica dei generi (un'ottica di comodo) dimostra nei confronti di ogni film che investa universi di senso sufficientemente complessi, tali da mettere in gioco qualcosa che potremmo chiamare memoria filogenetica. |

| uno nessuno e centomila: The Social Dynamics of Pronominal Systems Paul Bouissac, 2019-07-15 Personal pronouns have a special status in languages. As indexical tools they are the means by which languages and persons intimately interface with each other within a particular social structure. Pronouns involve more than mere grammatical functions in live communication acts. They variously signal the gender of speakers as parts of utterances or in their anaphoric roles. They also prominently indicate with a range of degrees the kind of social relationships that hold between speakers from intimacy to indifference, from dominance to submission, and from solidarity to hostility. Languages greatly vary in the number of pronouns and other address terms they offer to their users with a distinct range of social values. Children learn their relative position in their family and in their society through the “correct” use of pronouns. When languages come into contact because of population migrations or through the process of translation, pronouns are the most sensitive zone of tension both psychologically and politically. This volume endeavours to probe the comparative pragmatics of pronominal systems as social processes in a representative set from different language families and cultural areas. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: The Autism of Gxd Ruth M. Dunster, 2022-12-02 The Autism of Gxd: An Atheological Love Story is truly a love story—the story of Ruth Dunster’s autistic search for an authentic, personal, and theological “Gxd.” In this, it resembles Augustine’s Confessions, as a theological autobiography. It becomes atheological, however, as Dunster reckons with what Denys Turner terms “The Darkness of God.” This awareness leads her through the poetry of Medieval mystics to the mythic “death of God” theology of Thomas J. J. Altizer. The search for faith is nonetheless very real in this strange territory. Dunster hears her autistic Gxd speaking in art, poetry, novels, and music; and this further leads her into the territory of Literature, Theology, and the Arts, where, in Blanchot’s words, “the answer is the poem’s absence.” Indeed, Dunster calls the book “a strange poem, or even a hymn.” Weaving an autistic mythology out of a rigorous survey of clinical autism, this book abounds in challenge and paradox. It offers a fascinating view into how an autistic poet becomes a theologian; and what more mainstream theologies might learn from this “disabled Gxd.” |

| uno nessuno e centomila: Otherness in Question Livia Mathias Simão, Jaan Valsiner, 2007-01-01 This book brings to social scientists a new look at how human beings are striving towards understanding others-- and through that effort--making sense of themselves. It brings together researchers from all over the World who have suggested a set of new approaches to the basic research issue of how human beings are social beings, while being unique in their personal ways of being. Issues of social representation, communication, dialogical self, and human subjectivity are represented in this book. The book contributes to the contemporary epistemological and ethical debate about the question of otherness, and would be of interest to educationalists, sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists. It is an invitation to the wide readership to join in this collective effort towards the construction of new conceptions about myselfothers relationships that allow for innovative understanding of various social practices and problem solving in society. |

| uno nessuno e centomila: Un giro di Jack Rita Murgia, 2021-03-26 Un giro di Jack” è una danza di onnipotenza che tutti noi abbiamo prima o poi ballato quando la vita era farcita di tematiche universitarie e primi passi nel mondo del lavoro, di primi rapporti stretti creati al di fuori della famiglia, di gioco, divertimento e di indipendenza, sensazioni di maturità sognate mentre dormi con un uomo per più di tre giorni di fila. C’è stato e ci sarà luogo e tempo per giri di vino rosso, ma il serenamente spregiudicato giro di Jack rappresenta il periodo delle prime e ultime volte che non si rivivranno mai più. I rapporti vissuti a 360 gradi, sia in positivo che in negativo, quelle anime che s’incontrano e in alcuni casi non si lasciano mai, quegli amori che hanno senso di esistere solo tra i venti e i trent’anni. Ecco di cosa parla questo libro. |
| uno nessuno e centomila: Bridges between Science and Humanities Maria Rosa Menzio, 2025-03-25 The book is an adventure into the parts of knowledge that are taken for granted. Science and humanities have bridges that unite them, and there is a whole hidden world of connections that we do not learn at school, since teachers fixate on the division between the so-called ‘two cultures’. Here, however, we get to show how mathematics can be considered a humanistic subject and all science is a special branch of literature. After all, every scientific discovery can be treated and examined with the same categories that are used for fairy tales or novels. Also ‘sales techniques’ enter into scientific demonstrations much more deeply than it appears. Therefore, perhaps, we should no longer talk about the rigor of science but about aesthetic research which should lead to approaching perfection and therefore the accuracy of things (at least until the opposite is proved). This volume is an interesting read for both academics and non-specialists. |

| uno nessuno e centomila: Pirandello and Film Nina daVinci Nichols, 1995-01-01 Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) is one of the preeminent figures of the modern European theater. His masterpiece, Six Characters in Search of an Author, set loose a riot during its first performance in Rome in 1921. This play about six unfortunate characters abandoned by their author in the middle of a tawdry drama, is an unsettling, supremely self-conscious work that is ultimately about theatrical artifice and artistic creation itself. Pirandello and Film examines Pirandello's many efforts-none of them finally successful-to transform Six Characters into a movie. The authors examine Pirandello's views on film and its relation to theater, his varying approaches to creating a film adaptation of Six Characters, and the efforts of directors and film moguls in Germany and Hollywood to fashion a cinematic version of the play. The book also presents an array of important documents, including some that have never before appeared in English: a Prologue (or prose sketch) for a 1926 film; a Scenario (a more detailed prose sketch) prepared by Pirandello and Adolph Lantz in the late 1920s for a German film version of Six Characters; an English-language film sketch written in 1935 by Pirandello and Saul Colin; and a letter from Max Reinhardt and the German emigri Hollywood film director Joseph von Sternberg to Saul Colin regarding the proposed film treatment of the play. These documents, together with the authors' critical text, provide a detailed portrait of Pirandello's developing view of film as an appropriate medium for his revolutionary dramatic innovations.
