Epifanie entomologiche : gli insetti nella cultura Italiana

This volume has two thematic sections – Literary Entomologies and Entomological Proliferation in the other arts: music, theatre, cinema and video games.

While talking about insects, we also talk about writers in a new way, often discovering hitherto less considered or less known aspects of their poetics.

The authors of the present volume explored: Dante, Boccaccio, Rucellai, Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia, Domenico Tempio, Guido Gozzano, Paola Masino, Carlo Emilio Gadda, Vincenza Caldarelli, Luciano Branciardi, Dino Buzzati, Italio Calvino, Mario Rigoni Stern, Franco Scaldati, Carlo Collodi e Jasmin Vardimon, Collasanti e Pier’Alli, Dario Argento, ranging from Medieval Literature to contemporary cinema to videogames, including also the most attractive aspects of the musical dimension.
