In 'the shadow of the winged machine...': The Esposizione dell'aeronautica Italiana and the Ascension of Myth in the Slipstream of Modernity
In June 1934, in the year XII of the fascist era, the Milanese Palazzo dell'Arte reopened its halls to the public. [...]January, the palazzo housed the Esposizione dell'aeronautica Italiana (EAI), an exhibition dedicated to all the contributions of the genius, the heroism and the work of the Italians to the solution of the problems of flight, to the achievement of memorable deeds in war and peace, and to the construction and uses of a means of transportation, for whom destiny has conceded an ever broadening development.1 According to one of the popular monthly aviation periodicals published by Italo Balbo's Aeronautical Ministry, L'Ala d'Italia, in approximately six months over one million visitors \"had wandered through the rooms of the Palazzo dell'Arte and dwelled in its halls to relive the story of the Italian eagles and the grand poem of the proud human conquest. [...]as well as aviation being legible as a metaphor for fascism, the EAI itself can be seen as a paradigm of the fascist order that was \"inscribed\" into Italian society.8 In the following pages, I will highlight the mythical structure of this order and elucidate its nexus to modernity.
Journal Article
Fidelity
\"Carlo, a part-time professor of creative writing, and Margherita, an architect-turned-real estate-agent: a happily married couple in their mid-thirties, perfectly attuned to each other's restlessness. They are in love, but they also harbour desires that stray beyond the confines of their bedroom: Carlo longs for the quiet beauty of one of his students, Sofia; Margherita fantasises about the strong hands of her physiotherapist, Andrea. The dream of a new flat, suspended between the old cobbled streets of Milan and the modern skyline cutting the horizon, might just help Carlo and Margherita bring down the wall Sofia and Andrea have built between them. But it is love, with its unassuming power, which ultimately pulls them from the brink, aided by Margherita's mother Anna, the couple's anchor and lighthouse - a wise, proud seamstress hiding her own disappointments. But after eight years of repressed desires and the birth of a son, when the past resurfaces in the form of books sent anonymously, not even Anna might be strong enough to save them. \"--Provided by publisher.
Lost words
\"Inside an apartment building on the outskirts of Milan, the working-class residents gossip, quarrel, and conspire against each other. Viewed through the eyes of Chino, an impressionable thirteen-year-old boy whose mother is the doorwoman of the building, the world contained within these walls is tiny, hypocritical, and mean-spirited: a constant struggle. Chino finds escape in reading. One day, a new resident, Amelia Lynd, moves in and quickly becomes an unlikely companion and a formative influence on Chino. Ms. Lynd -- an elderly, erudite British woman -- comes to nurture his taste in literature, introduces him to the life of the mind, and offers a counterpoint to the only version of reality that he's known. On one level, Lost Words is an engrossing coming-of--age tale set in the seventies, when Italy was going through tumultuous social changes, and on another, it is a powerful meditation on language, literature, and culture.\") -- Provided by publlisher.
