In reconstructing the history of Modern Spiritualism, scholars have largely focused on its Anglo-American, French, and German developments, often overlooking the Italian context. Modern Spiritualism in Italian Literature and Culture (1765–1969) challenges this perspective by examining the Italian case as a space of intersection between transnational currents of thought and deeply rooted cultural traditions. From the Enlightenment to the occult revival of the 1960s, Modern Spiritualism in Italy engaged with scientific discourse, philosophical speculation, literary imagination, and Catholic doctrine, producing a hybrid intellectual landscape that remains largely understudied. This volume traces the circulation and transformation of spiritualist ideas across different media and disciplines, analysing their impact on literature, psychology, and science. By situating Italy within the broader European and transatlantic networks of occult knowledge, Modern Spiritualism in Italian Literature and Culture provides a new vantage point from which to rethink the historical evolution of modernity, belief, and the supernatural.

I saggi raccolti in Iconografie pirandelliane esplorano una fitta serie di domande relative alle molteplici sfaccettature della cultura visiva nell’opera e nell’immagine pubblica di Luigi Pirandello. Qual è il ruolo della dimensione visiva nella poetica di Pirandello, in particolare nella sua concezione dell’immaginazione e della fantasia? In che modo e perché Pirandello nel suo teatro e nella sua narrativa chiama in causa di frequente immagini, tecnologie e pratiche semiotiche visive? In che modo il suo fascino per il cinema, la pittura e la fotografia incidono sulla sua opera? Quali sono le componenti dell’immagine pubblica di Pirandello, che si tratti dell’ethos discorsivo attentamente costruito dall’autore stesso o della rappresentazione di Pirandello nella stampa e attraverso strategie editoriali? Nell’affrontare questi (e non pochi altri) argomenti, Iconografie pirandelliane offre non solo una panoramica variegata e unica sui molteplici temi legati a Pirandello e alla cultura visiva, ma esplora anche connessioni trasversali tra diverse questioni che a volte sono rimaste confinate ad aspetti o settori particolari dell’opera pirandelliana. Inoltre, il volume permette di collocare i «regimi di visualità» dell’opera di Pirandello all’interno del contesto più ampio della cultura visiva nel periodo modernista in Italia e altrove.

New insights on the reception of Etruscan antiquity in the modernist period.“L’Étrurie est à la mode”, French archaeologist Salomon Reinach bluntly stated in 1927. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, Etruria had not only been attracting the attention of archaeologists and specialists of all sorts, but it had also been a fascinating and, in some cases, captivating destination for poets, novelists, painters and sculptors from all over Europe. This volume deals with the impact of the constantly expanding knowledge on the Etruscans and their mysterious civilisation on Italian, French, English, and German literature, arts and culture, with particular regard to the modernist period (1890–1950). The volume brings a distinctive point of view to the subject by approaching it from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, and by looking at a quite diverse range of topics and artefacts, which includes, but is not limited to, the study of drawings, art works, travel essays, novels, cooking recipes, schoolbooks, photographs, and movies.By exploring a new paradigm to understand ancient cultures, beyond the traditional ideas and models of “reception of the classics”, and by challenging the alleged fracture between the so-called “two cultures” of humanities and natural sciences, Modern Etruscans will be of interest to scholars from various disciplines. Designed as a learning tool for university courses on the interplay between literature and science in the twentieth century, it is suited as recommended reading for students in the humanities.Contributors: Francesca Orestano (Università degli Studi di Milano), Chiara Zampieri (KU Leuven), Bart Van den Bossche (KU Leuven), Lisa C.
