Laura Brignoli

CURRENT POSITION:

Full professor, representative of the degree course in Interpreting and Communication, Deputy Director of the Department of Humanities.

RESEARCH LINES:

My research lines, until 2012 focused on the period between the 18th and the 20th centuries, have increasingly focused on the twentieth century and current events. My interest in the relationship between literature and architecture dates back to before 2008, with the participation in the organization of the conference on the theme of the city in the works of Marguerite Yourcenar (1998) and an invited speech held at the Festival of Architecture of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, in October 2006. More recently I started to explore the concept of rewriting myths ("E.E. Schmitt e il paradosso di Don Giovanni", Studi francesi, 2011; "Fonti antiche per estinguere i Fuochi: la Clitemnestra di M. Yourcenar", in Donne, mito e politica, 2012). My research interest in rewriting has led me to the direction of a Departmental Research project ("InterArtes mimetic ipertextuality between rewriting practices and allographic sequels") which brought together colleagues from over ten different disciplinary fields, both from Italian (seven) and foreign (three) universities. My most recent participations in conferences, as a speaker, have explored the following topics: "Marguerite Yourcenar et le monde des lettres", Clermont-Ferrand 12 - 14 octobre 2017; « Riscrittura scenica e fonti : dal romanzo francese alla scena teatrale italiana. Réécriture scénique et sources: roman français à la scène théâtrale italienne »10-11 April 2018, University of Milan; "Marguerite Yourcenar et les Amériques", 2-4 October 2019, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotà; «Migrazioni, Incontri tra lingue, letterature, arti e musica» University of Venezia, Ca’ Foscari 11-12-13 November 2019.
I am also currently carrying on my research on both theoretical and practical aspects of translation, with particular focus on the translation of puns: Bénabou Marcel, Perché non ho scritto nessuno dei miei libri, edizioni Theoria, Ariccia, 2018.
