A sleep of prisoners: a play Christopher Fry New York, Oxford University Press, New York, New York State, 1951
49 pages 20 cm In "A Sleep of Prisoners" Mr. Fry investigates dramatically the problems of four prisoners of war. Locked up in a church in enemy territory, the men find that both personal and general conflicts become more explosive in confinement. One soldier loses his temper and half strangles bis friend. In succeeding dreams each prisoner demonstrates his inner response to the events, extending himself, his companions and the problems they face on to a spiritual plane. The immediate surroundings suggest Biblical protagonists to the dreamers, and the attempted murder is seen successively in the stories of Cain and Abel, David and Absalom, and Abraham and Isaac. The general situation is seen by the fourth dreamer reflected in the story of Shadrac, Meshac, and Abednego. --www.goodreads.com

The lady's not for burning: a comedy Christopher Fry New York, Oxford University Press, [2d ed., rev.]., New York, New York State, 1950
The play centres around the meeting of cynical Thomas Mendip, a man so bitter that he wishes himself executed, and Jennet Jourdemayne, a young and beautiful girl accused of witchcraft. Thomas's insistence that he be hanged falls on deaf ears, while Jennet's protestations of innocence serve only to incriminate her. Independently both characters turn to Mayor Hebble for understanding and assistance, but are met with only evasion and willing incomprehension. A certain amount of farce is provided by the Devise family, all three of whom are faintly ridiculous.

Fry: Plays One (The Lady's Not for Burning, A Yard of Sun, Siege) Christopher Fry London: Oberon Books, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 2), London, 2007
Includes the plays The Lady's Not for Burning, A Yard of Sun andSiegeIn this volume of Christopher Fry's original stage work, his most famous play The Lady's Not for Burning -'Spring'in his set of'Seasonal Plays'- is joined by the'Summer'play A Yard of Sun, written in the mid-1930's.Celebrated for the sensuousness and joyous wit of its language, The Lady's Not for Burning is a key play in the revival of verse drama in the 1940's, and the scale of its success made Fry one of the most famous playwrights of his day.A Yard of Sun, Fry's last full-length stage play, is set in Siena just after the end of World War Two. Without ignoring the struggles and privations of war, the play is funny, touching and ultimately optimistic.Based on the medieval story of Aucassin and Nicolette and conceived as a form of'pageant', Siege with its mixing of verse and prose, sprawling structure, employment of different speech patterns and deliberately contemporary touches, gives a unique insight into Fry's development as a stage-craftsman.

The grimace of Macho Ratón : artisans, identity, and nation in late-twentieth-century western Nicaragua Field, Les W. Duke University Press Books, First Edition, FR, 1999
<p>In this creative ethnography Les W. Field challenges a post-Sandinista national conception of identity, one that threatens to constrict the future of subaltern Nicaraguans. Drawing on the works and words of artisans and artisanas, Indians, and mestizos, Field critiques the national ideology of ethnic homogeneity and analyzes the new forms of social movement that have distinguished late-twentieth-century Nicaragua. As a framework for these analytic discussions, Field uses the colonial-era play <i>El Güegüence o Macho Ratón</i> and the literature relating to it.<br> Elite appropriations of <i>El Güegüence</i> construe it as an allegory of mestizo national identity in which mestizaje is defined as the production of a national majority of ethnically bounded non-Indians in active collaboration with the state. By contrast, Field interprets the play as a parable of cultural history and not a declaration of cultural identity, a scatological reflection on power and the state, and an evocation of collective loss and humor broadly associated with the national experience of disempowered social groups. By engaging with those most intimately involved in the performance of the play—and by including essays by some of these artisans—Field shows how <i>El Güegüence</i> tells a story about the passing of time, the absurdity of authority, and the contradictions of coping with inheritances of the past. Refusing essentialist notions of what it means to be Indian or artisan, Field explains the reemergence of politicized indigenous identity in western Nicaragua and relates this to the longer history of artisan political organization. Parting ways with many scholars who associate the notion of mestizaje with identity loss and hegemony, Field emphasizes its creative,<br> productive, and insightful meanings. With an emphasis on the particular struggles of women artisans, he explores the reasons why forms of collective identity have posed various kinds of predicaments for this marginalized class of western Nicaraguans.<br> This book will appeal to readers beyond the field of Latin American anthropology, including students and scholars of literature, intellectual history, women’s studies, and the politics of ethnicity.<i><br> </i></p>

By engaging with those most intimately involved in the performance of the play—and by including essays by some of these artisans—Field shows how <i>El Güegüence</i> tells a story about the passing of time, the absurdity of authority, and the contradictions of coping with inheritances of the past. Refusing essentialist notions of what it means to be Indian or artisan, Field explains the reemergence of politicized indigenous identity in western Nicaragua and relates this to the longer history of artisan political organization. Parting ways with many scholars who associate the notion of mestizaje with identity loss and hegemony, Field emphasizes its creative,<br> productive, and insightful meanings. With an emphasis on the particular struggles of women artisans, he explores the reasons why forms of collective identity have posed various kinds of predicaments for this marginalized class of western Nicaraguans.<br> This book will appeal to readers beyond the field of Latin American anthropology, including students and scholars of literature, intellectual history, women’s studies, and the politics of ethnicity.<i><br> </i></p>

Plato's Philosophers : The Coherence of the Dialogues Catherine H. Zuckert The University of Chicago Press; University of Chicago Press, 1, PS, 2009
Faced With The Difficult Task Of Discerning Plato's True Ideas From The Contradictory Voices He Used To Express Them, Scholars Have Never Fully Made Sense Of The Many Incompatibilities Within And Between The Dialogues. In The Magisterial Plato's Philosophers, Catherine Zuckert Explains For The First Time How These Prose Dramas Cohere To Reveal A Comprehensive Platonic Understanding Of Philosophy. To Expose This Coherence, Zuckert Examines The Dialogues Not In Their Supposed Order Of Composition But According To The Dramatic Order In Which Plato Indicates They Took Place. This Unconventional Arrangement Lays Bare A Narrative Of The Rise, Development, And Limitations Of Socratic Philosophy. In The Drama's Earliest Dialogues, For Example, Two Non-socratic Philosophers Introduce The Political And Philosophical Problems To Which Socrates Tries To Respond. A Second Dramatic Group Shows How Socrates Develops His Distinctive Philosophical Style. And, Finally, The Later Dialogues Feature Interlocutors Who Reveal His Philosophy's Limitations. Despite These Limitations, Zuckert Concludes, Plato Made Socrates The Dialogues' Central Figure Because Socrates Raises The Fundamental Human Question: What Is The Best Way To Live? Plato's Dramatization Of Socratic Imperfections Suggests, Moreover, That He Recognized The Apparently Unbridgeable Gap Between Our Understandings Of Human Life And The Nonhuman World. At A Time When This Gap Continues To Raise Questions{u2014}about The Division Between Sciences And The Humanities And The Potentially Dehumanizing Effects Of Scientific Progress{u2014}zuckert's Brilliant Interpretation Of The Entire Platonic Corpus Offers Genuinely New Insights Into Worlds Past And Present. -- Book Jacket.

nexusstc/I testi etruschi su piombo/6a9addc9a7d3ebf863c80a9c169cc727.pdf
I testi etruschi su piombo. Riccardo Massarelli Fabrizio Serra Editore Pisa Roma, Biblioteca di "Studi etruschi" -- 53, Pisa, Italy, 2014
L'oggetto di questa ricerca è costituito da un gruppo di iscrizioni etrusche selezionate secondo un criterio predefinito e convenzionale: vale a dire, quello di essere realizzate su supporti in piombo. Viene richiamata e discussa tutta la letteratura che a queste iscrizioni sia comunque pertinente (ovviamente all'interno della linguistica etruscologica scientifica), in modo da fornire una sorta di 'stato dell'arte' sulle conoscenze che attualmente abbiamo su di esse e sui problemi che comportano; esso può costituire un punto di partenza per possibili future ricerche. Di ogni iscrizione viene fornita una descrizione dei contesti archeologici di rinvenimento (se noti) e delle caratteristiche grafiche, anche in funzione della datazione; infine si offre ampio spazio all'analisi linguistica, che parte dagli studi già effettuati per poi proseguire, dove possibile e opportuno, secondo nuove linee di interpretazione.
