Leah Lowthorp (University of Oregon)The Sanskrit cosmopolis and embodied cosmopolitanism in Kutiyattam sanskrit theater
5 dicembre 2024, ore 14, Aula D, Ex Vetrerie Sciarra, via dei Volsci 122
Multilingual navigation is an important part of Kutiyattam Sanskrit theater performance, which belonged to the Sanskrit cosmopolis at its inception. As Sanskrit drama was adapted for the Kerala stage, the number of languages used in performance came to include, in various contexts, Sanskrit, Prakrit, Malayalam, Manipravalam, Tamil, and mudras. This paper argues that Kutiyattam’s multilingualism constitutes a form of embodied cosmopolitanism, with each language indexing larger-than-local and/or local worlds. It makes a case for Kutiyattam’s embodied cosmopolitanism via exploring how artists today experience performing in multiple languages, while considering the changing relationships between language and power over time. Leah LOWTHORP is a cultural anthropologist and folklorist whose work engages art and social change, critical heritage studies, cosmopolitanism(s), post-colonial theory, and the online circulation of biopolitical narratives. She has conducted ethnographic research with the Kutiyattam Sanskrit theater community in Kerala, India, since 2006, and more recently with online communities in an investigation of the digital folklore of human genetic and reproductive technologies. Her work has been funded by the Mellon Foundation, American Council of Learned Societies, the American Institute of Indian Studies, and the Wenner-Gren Foundation. She is currently Assistant Professor at the University of Oregon, Anthropology Faculty. She was a College Fellow in Folklore and Mythology at Harvard University (2014-16) and a Mellon/ACLS Public Fellow at the Center for Genetics and Society (2016-18). She has authored several articles and co-edited (with Frank J. Korom) South Asian Folklore in Transition: Crafting New Horizons, London: Routledge. Her forthcoming book Deep Cosmopolitanism: Kutiyattam, Dynamic Tradition, and Globalizing Heritage in Kerala, India, Indiana University Press series “Activist Encounters in Folklore and Ethnomusicology” (Fall 2025) is an ethnographic exploration of India's first UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, Kutiyattam Sanskrit theater. The book challenges and broadens existing approaches to cosmopolitanism, heritage, and tradition by questioning Eurocentric genealogies and assumptions about what it means to be cosmopolitan, modern, and traditional in the world today.

Methodological questions: history and theory in research for the performing arts - By the PhD students (XXXV, XXXVI, XXXVII cycle)
15/03/2022
More than forty years have passed since the philosopher Paul Feyerabend in Against Method (1975) argued that «anything can go well», shattering the certainties of the scientific method. His was an act of love for research and at the same time a critique of the fossilization of methodologies. Because research is above all: freedom to be able to carry it out. And therefore: how to query the methodologies concerning the performing arts? How to unravel the complex relationship between theories and practices?

Ferdinando Taviani: history and life of the theater.
10/02/2022
Two days of seminars around the figure of Ferdinando Taviani (1942-2020), probably the greatest theater scholar of his generation. Catalyst and pedagogue, he has made grown around him a cultural environment and two generations of scholars. He actively participated in the life of actors and theatrical persons, he was in the front row in large theatrical battles. The two days intend to explore two faces of him: on the one hand, his innovative studies, in particular on the culture of the actor, ranging from Commedia dell'Arte to contemporary theater, through the presentation of two posthumous volumes (Ferdinando Taviani, Le visioni del teatro. Scritti sul teatro dell’Otto e Novecento, and Il rossore dell’attrice. Scritti sulla Commedia dell’Arte e non solo, Bulzoni, 2021). On the other hand we will investigate, through the presentation of latest issue of the magazine "Teatro e Storia", largely dedicated to his memory, his presence alongside the living theater, as a friend, adviser and companion (Mirella Schino).

STANDSTILL - CHOREOGRAPHIES OF SUSPENDED TIME
May 20, 2021
Dance and choreography are today essential parts of the contemporary imagination, both in terms of the arts in general and more precisely in terms of knowledge. This lesson analyzes a constellation of choreographies and performances that create a different genealogy of the movement. A plan of dance composition that over time has translated into an aesthetic practice of resistance, including political ones. That of movement without movement: that is, inaction as a force of intuitive thought, antithetical to the logic of introspection. Inaction as a critique of choreographic reason. Inaction as a strategy for the disappearance of bodies capable of undermining the dictatorship of chronological time. Because immobility and stillness are choices of (resistance to) movement informed by a precise postural technique, but reluctant to an immediate advantage of readability. These are choices that reject the display of expertise and specialism. Choices that favor emotional and unplanned involvement. They are therefore reliable sources of political autonomy, that is, of resilience towards the forces of homogenization, uniformity, standardization and simplification adopted by neoliberal policies.

Websiting has acquired a decisive importance for data archiving and cataloguing and the exchange of information. How can the web represent a resource for the humanities and, more properly, for the work of the researcher? How can one take advantage of the potential of webstoring to collect data and share the progress of research? The seminar offers the basic tools for creating and setting up a website aimed at: - cataloguing data, documents and resources related to doctoral investigations; - setting up an interactive virtual space for sharing ongoing results and promoting scientific activity. For this purpose, "drag and drop" web development models will be proposed, which do not require any particular technical skills or knowledge of programming languages.

Published in Venice between 1724 and 1726 in eight folio volumes, the fifty psalms of the Estro poetico-armonico (poetry by Girolamo Ascanio Giustiniani, music by Benedetto Marcello) represent one of the most ambitious and innovative attempts of paraphrasing of psalm texts in Italian verse. Marcello's intonation, conducted in a style only partly analogous to that of the contemporary production of oratorios, cantatas and chamber duets, openly distanced itself from the most popular genres of the time, in an attempt to refound the relationship between text and music. It was not by chance that the ideas formulated in L'Estro found echoes in the writings on opera in music by Algarotti and Calzabigi, or that they constituted a model to be contrasted with the much less elitist ideals of Saverio Mattei's later vulgarization of the psalmody. Also thanks to a complex apparatus of erudite prefaces, Giustiniani and Marcello's work had a vast echo in 18th-century Europe and continued to be a much-admired musical monument in the following century. Of particular interest is the inclusion of transcriptions of Hebrew melodies belonging to the oral traditions of the Sephardic and Ashkenazic communities of Venice: "a remarkable methodological accomplishment" (Edwin Seroussi, 2002) also from an ethnomusicological point of view.

Cinema magazines in Italy from the post-war period to the 1950s: sources and problems
May 19, 2020
The Italian film criticism of specialized magazines, from the post-war period to the end of the 1950s, is going through an expansionary phase which involves the most consistent period of modernization of the national cultural industry. In this same period, the canonical critical notions that will influence the taste and reception of the cinema show by high culture are defined. Critical work on specialized periodicals plays an important role in the cultural legitimization processes of cinema-related knowledge. And it has some peculiarities. I propose to investigate them by privileging some aspects. At first I put film criticism under observation in relation to Fascist culture. In a second moment I identify the elements of discontinuity in the panorama of specialized magazines, that is to say the ways in which they differ from each other in terms of setting, content and profile of collaborators. In a third moment I present five traits that periodicals of the period share in terms of the interpretation / evaluation of films, regardless of the different ideological alignments of belonging. Finally, in the conclusions, I return to the question of the periodization of post-war criticism in relation to the previous twenty years and to the problems relating to the relationship between film criticism, sector magazines and sources for the history of cinema.

ANTI-MANUAL SEMINAR 2020
7-8 maggio 2020
"Anti-manual" seminar 2020 focuses on actresses. We have chosen to examine a crucial period, the theater between the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, when many of the greatest theater artists, including internationally, are women. In this period some women are even comical leaders of their companies from an artistic and economic point of view. Under this theme another also flows: how to narrate the theater? The history of theater, compared to the other arts, must be based on the "lack of the object". A theatrical event from the past leaves traces in the documents, but cannot be analyzed directly. At the same time, it does not have the weight the authority of history. How can we make the past alive? What details to choose, how to keep the listener's attention awake, without losing the philological rigor? On the first day it will be five interventions, followed by questions and comments from a "listening group" of scholars of this and of other universities. Students and doctoral students will participate in the discussion. Each intervention will tell a story of actresses, trying to make people understand why it can be considered exemplary for reflection on our theme. We will talk about the peculiarity of female work in the theater, the reactions of the public, the body on stage, and female power. The second day of the seminar is designed for a smaller group, with more possibilities for discussion. It will be dedicated to an analysis of the interventions proposed in the first part from the point of view of the composition and assembly process, but above all from that of research. The first day speakers will discuss these individual steps by showing the documents and explaining the methods. Specific problems, that is to say relating to the documents of the single topic, and transversal, that is recurrent and shareable, related to the practice of research and symptomatic of an approach to studies will be brought to light. Also in this case, the speeches will be taken up, commented on, expanded and discussed by the listening group, as well as by the students and doctoral students. If the aim of the seminar is to narrate the theater through a story, this part of the work is dedicated to the material weaving of that story: to its construction made of tiny and macroscopic elements, of single details and weaves, of document selection and the search for a lexicon capable of remaining close to the practice, both that of theater and that of research.

The American Reception of Anna Magnani. Methodological Approaches - Sergio Rigoletto (University of Oregon)
14/03/2019 ore 15 - Aula A, Via dei Volsci 122 Roma
William Dieterle famously referred to Anna Magnani as “the last of the great shameless emotionalists”. Dieterle’s remark exemplifies the peculiar appeal of Magnani to US film culture, one predicated on the perceived anachronism of her acting and on a set of supernatural and sub-human figurations (the volcano, the tempest, the tiger, the animal…). Drawing on US press and publicity materials released between 1945 and 1955, this lecture examines the rise and development of Magnani’s star image in the US, focusing on how her star image evolved during the years prior to her first Hollywood film, The Rose Tattoo (1955) and on how Paramount negotiated this image for her Hollywood debut.
Studying film economics: the case study of Checco Zalone’s films - Marco Cucco (Università di Bologna)
27/03/2019 ore 13 - Aula Levi, Via dei Volsci 122
The lecture will introduce doctoral candidates to the study of film economics. After an introductory part, the second part of the lecture will be devoted to the four films performed by Checco Zalone and will analyze how these films have been financed, promoted and released, as well as their performance in the theatrical market.
Women in the Italian film industry: for a historical and gender approach to Italian Production Studies - Dalila Missero (Università degli Studi di Milano)
10/04/2019 ore 17 - Aula A, Via dei Volsci 122
This lecture aims to illustrate the methodologies and possibilities of a cultural-historical methodology for the investigation of the role of women in the Italian cinema industry. In the first part, it analyzes the state of the art of Italian production studies, which lack of a systemic approach which combines empirical research (with both qualitative and quantitative methodologies) with cultural-history and gender studies, as international research already does. This overview includes an historical reading, which specifically focuses on a few investigations carried out in the 1970s in the wake of the reflections of the Italian feminist movement on women’s creativity and labour. In the second part I will illustrate two case studies I’ve carried out: one based on archival research – the study of the production manager Mara Blasetti’s archive, held at the Cineteca di Bologna; the second based on interviews and the study of professional manuals, which allowed me to study the feminization of the profession of the film editor.

Traces of the Present. Transcultural Memory in Contemporary Audiovisual Production - Alice Cati (Università Cattolica di Milano)
30/04/2019 ore 17 - Aula A, Via dei Volsci 122
In recent years, cultural memory studies have increasingly shifted its focus towards media technologies, discourses, forms and practices. According to this approach, as so many scholars claim (A. Erll, A. Hoskins, J. Garde-Hanse, J. van Dijck, and so on), memory is always mediated. In other words, cultural memory cannot be accessed outside its mediatisations. On the one hand, memory has been perceived as not fixed or stable phenomenon; on the other hand, theories of memory are applied to media by observing the multiple connections between mediated memories of events, media images of the past and uses of media for memory practices. Moreover, a transcultural perspective has been adopted in order to explain the changeability of memory across time and space.

How to Study a Screenplay: Questions of Method - Giaime Alonge (Università di Torino)
23/05/2019 ore 15 - Aula 112, Via dei Volsci 122
The study of scripts and scriptwriting necessarily takes place in archives. Only through a concrete encounter with the script as a physical text scholars can grasp the real nature of scriptwriting. Since shooting scripts are rarely published in form of books, and since all the materials – such as notes, subjects, treatments – that preexist shooting scripts are even more rarely published, this encounter can happen only in archives.

Emiliano Morreale (Sapienza), Massimo Scaglioni (Università Cattolica di Milano) - The international circulation of Italian Cinema. Research perspectives
27/05/2019 ore 15 - Aula Levi, Via dei Volsci 122
The workshop is grounded on the main findings of the research project “International Circulation of Italian Cinema” (CinCit), a three-year research project funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (PRIN). It aims to map out the forms of distribution and circulation of Italian cinema abroad, investigating the methods of its exportation and the operations that, in some particularly important markets (the USA, the UK, France and Switzerland), help to shape and model an idea of Italian cinema and, more broadly, of Italian culture and “made in Italy”. In particular, theoretical and methodological issues will be discussed, also in relation to a possible extension of the research (from film to audio-visual media), and a specific focus will be devoted to how international magazines and criticism describe and frame Italian cinema.

Novelization and dramatization : possibilities of exchange and intersection
29/10/2019 ore 16 - Aula Supino Martini, Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia
As compared to the opposition between the "model of the dramatic text and the model of the narrative text" in use during the last decades of the 20thcentury and inspired mainly by semiotic perspectives, it might be worth looking in a different manner and beyond the limits of “text” as a category at the complex, yet fruitful interaction between diegetic and mimetic dimensions, which characterise in particular, but not exclusively, the experience of twentieth-century and contemporary theatre. It might also be worth dwelling on the equally clear repercussions on the novel. Novelization and dramatization are thus envisaged as parallel experiences, within a perspective that tends not towards the separation or the schematic opposition of fields and models but, along the lines of Brecht's definition, towards a field describable in terms of "shift in accent".
