D'Annunzio's hybrid experiments challenge Wagner's 'total artwork' theories, search for a synthesis between pictorial stillness and filmic movement, and anticipate contemporary multimedia ...experiences. Ending suddenly at the outbreak of the Great War, Dannunzian total artworks have generated a controversial legacy that calls for renewed critical investigations.
Recasting the birth of fascism, nationalism, and the fall
of empire after World War I, Dominique Kirchner Reill recounts how
the people of Fiume tried to recreate empire in the guise of the
nation. ...The Fiume Crisis recasts what we know
about the birth of fascism, the rise of nationalism, and the fall
of empire after World War I by telling the story of the three-year
period when the Adriatic city of Fiume (today Rijeka, in Croatia)
generated an international crisis. In 1919 the multicultural former
Habsburg city was occupied by the paramilitary forces of the
flamboyant poet-soldier Gabriele D'Annunzio, who aimed to annex the
territory to Italy and became an inspiration to Mussolini. Many
local Italians supported the effort, nurturing a standard tale of
nationalist fanaticism. However, Dominique Kirchner Reill shows
that practical realities, not nationalist ideals, were in the
driver's seat. Support for annexation was largely a result of the
daily frustrations of life in a "ghost state" set adrift by the
fall of the empire. D'Annunzio's ideology and proto-fascist
charisma notwithstanding, what the people of Fiume wanted was
prosperity, which they associated with the autonomy they had
enjoyed under Habsburg sovereignty. In these twilight years between
the world that was and the world that would be, many across the
former empire sought to restore the familiar forms of governance
that once supported them. To the extent that they turned to
nation-states, it was not out of zeal for nationalist
self-determination but in the hope that these states would restore
the benefits of cosmopolitan empire. Against the too-smooth
narrative of postwar nationalism, The Fiume Crisis
demonstrates the endurance of the imperial imagination and carves
out an essential place for history from below.
The Great Black Spider on Its Knock-Kneed Tripod traces the encounter of Italy's writers with cinema, and in doing so offers vibrant new perspectives on the country's early twentieth-century culture.
