Описание: This study recovers Italo Calvino's central place in a lost history of interdisciplinary thought, politics, and literary philosophy in the 1960s. Drawing on his letters, essays, critical reviews, and fiction, as well as a wide range of works--primarily urban planning and design theory and history--circulating among his primary interlocutors, this book takes as its point of departure a sweeping reinterpretation of Invisible Cities. Passages fromCalvino's most famous novel routinely appear as aphorisms in calendars, posters, and the popular literature of inspiration and self-help, reducing the novel to vague abstractions and totalizing wisdom about thinking outside the box. The shadow of postmodern studies has had a similarly diminishing effect on this text, rendering up an accomplished but ultimately apolitical novelistic experimentation in endless deconstructive deferrals, the shiny surfaces of play, and the ultimately rigged game of self-referentiality. In contrast, this study draws on an archive of untranslated Italian- and French-language materials on urban planning, architecture, and utopian architecture to argue that Calvino's novel in fact introduces readers to the material history of urban renewal in Italy, France, and the U.S. in the 1960s, as well as the multidisciplinary core of cultural life in that decade: the complex and continuous interplay among novelists and architects, scientists and artists, literary historians and visual studies scholars. His last love poem for the dying city was in fact profoundly engaged, deeply committed to the ethical dimensions of both architecture and lived experience in the spaces of modernity as well as the resistant practices of reading and utopian imagining that his urban studies in turn inspired.

Описание: Italo Calvino`s Animals explores Anthropocene animals through the visionary eyes of a classic modern author. Animals emerge as complex subjects and inhabitants of a world under siege. Beside them, another figure appears in the mirror: that of an anthropos without a capital A, epitome of subaltern humans with their challenges and inequalities.

Описание: Il 24 novembre 1960, a Parigi, in un bistrot della rue du Bac, nasce, per volonta di R. Queneau e F. Le Lionnais, l’Ouvroir de Litterature Potentielle (Oulipo). Non un movimento letterario, ne un laboratorio scientifico ma un gruppo di scrittori e di matematici che si propongono, attraverso un approccio «sistematico» e «scientifico», di rinnovare l’idea di letteratura e apportare nuova linfa vitale a quel dibattito culturale che, in Francia, negli anni Sessanta, rimette in questione il mito surrealista dell’ispirazione e si allontana da un’idea di letteratura engagee di matrice sartriana. Nello stesso periodo, Italo Calvino inizia a frequentare piu assiduamente Parigi e nel 1972 e eletto membre etranger di questo gruppo che, lontano dalla «gravita» della critica italiana, gli offre la possibilita di confrontarsi con una serie di modelli che giocheranno un ruolo fondamentale nella sua opera successiva. A partire da un approfondimento della retorica oulipiana, e attraverso un approccio «oulipocritico» alla produzione letteraria degli anni parigini di Calvino, il presente saggio ricostruisce le tappe fondamentali di questa storia fatta di «destini incrociati».
