ABSTRACT: Le Grandi Parodie Disney dei classici della letteratura costituiscono un’originale e intensa impresa creativa, cominciata nel 1949 con L’Inferno di Topolino e ancora oggi portata avanti con successo dagli autori Disney italiani. L’articolo si concentra sui procedimenti adattivi alla base delle Parodie, privilegiando quelli che investono in prima battuta l’elemento narrativo del personaggio. Il close reading condotto sull’Inferno di Topolino, parodia antesignana e manifesto dell’intero corpus, permette di osservare come sul personaggio della parodia si giochi in larga misura il mix di intertestualità e serialità che, con una considerevole prevalenza della seconda sulla prima, caratterizza questi adattamenti. In conclusione, si mostra come le risorse espressive e semantiche del personaggio seriale non solo comportino l’immediata riconoscibilità della parodia, ma sostengano significative innovazioni di ordine tematico-ideologico rispetto all’opera dantesca e coraggiose prese di posizione sull’importanza del fumetto seriale nel sistema culturale contemporaneo.Parole chiave: Grandi Parodie Disney. personaggio seriale.

O artigo enfoca os procedimentos adaptativos subjacentes às paródias, privilegiando aquelas que envolvem, principalmente, o elemento narrativo do personagem. A leitura atenta realizada em O Inferno de Mickey, precursor da paródia e presente em todo o corpus, permite-nos observar como a mistura de intertextualidade e serialidade desempenha, em grande medida, o caráter da paródia que, com uma prevalência considerável do segundo sobre o primeiro, caracteriza essas adaptações. Desse modo, observa-se como os recursos expressivos e semânticos do personagem serial não só levam ao reconhecimento imediato da paródia, mas também sustentam significativas inovações temático-ideológicas no que diz respeito à obra de Dante e às posturas corajosas sobre a importância dos quadrinhos seriados no sistema cultural contemporâneo.Palavras-chave: Grandi Parodie Disney.

The article investigates the adaptive procedures of the Parodies, with a special focus on those involving the pivotal narrative element of the character. From the close reading of L’Inferno di Topolino, the first parody to be written and a manifesto of the entire corpus, it is possible to observe how the mix of intertextuality and seriality which distinguishes these adaptations hinges largely on the expressive and semantic resources of Disney serial characters. In the conclusion, the main effects of the prevailing of seriality over intertextuality are discussed, showing how it makes for the immediate recognizability of the parody, supports significant thematic-ideological innovations with respect to Dante's work, and allows for courageous metaliterary assertion on the importance of serial comics in the contemporary cultural system.Keywords: Grandi Parodie Disney.

In Dante’s Divina Commedia (Divine Comedy), the journey through the universe represents the integration of the human intellect into the cosmos as it was envisaged at the fourteenth-century apogee of the Classical worldview. The cosmic ladder of Dante’s work stretches fully from the top to the bottom of that universe. Characteristically of afterlife narratives, there are two types of space in Dante’s Commedia. The universe that is traversed in Dante’s journey is also set forth in a revelatory vision toward the end of the work, at Paradiso XXVIII. In our final chapter, we concentrate on this vision, which is both a culmination of the afterlife vision we’ve seen elsewhere in the book, and a departure from it. Whereas the vision we see earlier is a vehicle toward psychic harmonization, the vision in Dante explores not merely the need for psychic harmonization but the difficulties of it. This is done through a series of complexifying and interlocking images, of mirror and reflection, music, rhythm and note. All of these images fall short in expressing the goal of harmony of soul and universe. Psychic harmonization can only be achieved, finally, at the price of silence. When the soul is harmonized with the universe, it is undifferentiated from it. We can no longer speak of the universe as of something outside ourselves. Thus Dante’s poem falls silent.

The sacrilege of Vanni Fucci, the beast of Pistoia, in the Divine Comedy This hermeneutic analysis presents a reflection on the complex nature of the concept of theft in the Christian world, compared to the pagan one. The author develops the idea of the desperate blasphemy of the infernal prisoner as a form of unconscious prayer. Vanni Fucci from Pistoia, the sacrilegious and blasphemous character of Dante’s Inferno, is analyzed by referring to the fundamental difference between the classical and medieval philosophical perception of metamorphosis as a symbol.

This contribution aims to identify the notions of “tatto” and “tocco” as main agents for soul health and as vectors of spiritual transcendence in Dante’s thought and in particular in the Divine Comedy. In his path from Hell to Paradise, the pilgrim transforms his physical ability “to touch” and “to be touched” in a form of spiritual sensoriality. In this way, the sensitive phenomenons participate to the intellectual processes, pleasure becomes salvation, and the perception of sweetness allows access to the intangible and ineffable realities of Paradise. We will analyze the functions of tactile feeling and experience in their pathological, pharmacological and finally spiritual aspects. First we show how touch feeling, for Christian thought, corresponds to a general modality through which Grace enters into the intellect and through which the intellect perceives the divine phenomena. In this case, pleasure is synonymous with communication with God and is no more related to a condemnable voluptuousness. From the symptomatic touch of physical suffering of Hell to the ineffable sweetness of Paradise, passing through the acquisition of a new spiritual touch in Purgatory, Dante develops this idea through many similarities. Poetic writing becomes itself the instrument through which the soul could taste the divine “stille” in order to turn back to the “stelle”.

The article analyses Józef Ignacy Kraszewski’s contribution to the development of Polish Dante studies – thanks to his lectures on Dante held in Krakow and Lviv in 1867 and later published under the title Studies on The Divine Comedy, 1869. The article presents other opinions of Dante scholars of the time and more or less critical reviews of the results of Kraszewski’s research.
