Sebbene moltissimi siano oramai gli studi di vari autori dedicati all’analisi della presenza della matematica nell’opera di Dante e in particolare nella Divina Commedia, con grande stupore ci si ...accorge che esiste sempre qualche angolo inesplorato o qualche verso che può ancora fornire argomento di riflessione e di studio; lo stupore cessa ogni volta, quando si riflette sulla grandezza dell’opera. Volendo anche solo fare brevi cenni alle diverse discipline che costituiscono la matematica, sarebbe impossibile contenerli in poche pagine; rinvio dunque ad altre mie analisi su geometria, logica e probabilità (D’AMORE, 1991, 1993, 1995, 2020), e mi limito a due-tre spunti sull’aritmetica e sulla geometria.
Dante's metaphysics — his understanding of reality — is very different from our own. To present Dante's ideas about the cosmos, or God, or salvation, or history, or poetry within the context of ...post-Enlightenment presuppositions, as is usually done, is thus to capture only imperfectly the essence of those ideas. This book argues that the recovery of Dante's metaphysics is essential if we are to resolve what has been called “the central problem in the interpretation of the Comedy. ”That problem is what to make of the Comedy's claim to the “status of revelation, vision, or experiential record — as something more than imaginative literature.” This book offers a sustained treatment of the metaphysical picture that grounds and motivates the Comedy, and of the relation between those metaphysics and Dante's poetics. The book carries this out through an examination of three notoriously complex cantos of the Paradiso, read against the background of the Neoplatonic and Aristotelian tradition from which they arise.
최근 패션계에는 문학에서 영감을 받는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 패션에 표현된 문학의 특성 및 경향을 밝히는 것이다. 특히 다양한 예술에 지대한 영감을 준 대표적인 문학인 단테의 신곡을 중심으로 분석하였다. 연구방법은 패션과 문학에 관한 전문서적과 선행연구를 바탕으로 한 문헌연구와 관련기사의 사진과 텍스트를 내용 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, ...문학은 패션계에서 단순히 디자인의 주제로 사용되는 것을 넘어 액세서리 역할 혹은 브랜드의 이미지나 판매를 위한 마케팅 도구로 사용되고 있었다. 둘째, 회화와 건축, 조각 등의 예술 분야에서는 신곡의 장면을 사실적으로 혹은 과장하여 묘사하고, 구도 면에서 작가의 상상력을 더한 참신함을 보였다. 음악분야에서는 숫자 3과 그의 배수로 정교하게 구성된 신곡의 구조를 응용하거나, 천국과 지옥의 대조적인 분위기를 단조, 장조 혹은 연주와 합창 등으로 묘사했다. 셋째, 단테의 신곡에서 영감 받은 패션 컬렉션에 나타난 특성은, 단테가 표현한 그대로의 주제보다는 종교, 전쟁과의 연상 혹은 디자이너가 겪는 창작의 고통 등으로 확장되어 나타났다. 또한 지옥의 장면에 등장하는 동물들을 3D형식을 사용하여 그대로 묘사하기도 했지만, 얼굴에 붙인 은 장미 가시, 십자가에 못 박힌 예수 형상이 달린 마스크, 뿔, 새 발톱목걸이, 해골 손이 부착된 헤드피스 등의 액세서리 디자인으로 단테의 신곡을 넘어서는 창의성을 보였다. 모든 예술분야에서 단테의 신곡을 다루는 방식은 지옥일지라도 서정적이고 낭만적인 경향을 보였다. 본 연구가 늘 새로운 창의성에 목마른 패션계에서 참고할만한 실질적인 메시지가 되기를 고대한다.
In recent years, the fashion industry has increasingly drawn inspiration from literature. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the characteristics and trends of literature as expressed in fashion. Specifically, the analysis focuses on Dante's La Divina Commedia, a work that has profoundly inspired various arts. The research method involved a literature review based on specialized books and prior studies on fashion and literature, as well as content analysis of related articles’ photos and texts. Firstly, literature in the fashion industry is utilized not only as a theme for design but also as an accessory or a marketing tool to enhance a brand's image and sales. Secondly, in the fields of painting, architecture, and sculpture, scenes from La Divina Commedia are depicted either realistically or exaggeratedly, showing innovative compositions infused with the artist's imagination. In the music field, the intricate structure of La Divina Commedia, organized around the number 3 and its multiples, is adapted, and the contrasting atmospheres of heaven and hell are depicted through minor and major keys, instrumental, and choral arrangements. Thirdly, fashion collections inspired by Dante's La Divina Commedia exhibit characteristics that extend beyond the original themes to include associations with religion, war, or the creative agony experienced by designers. While some collections directly depict animals from the inferno in 3D formats, others demonstrate creativity beyond the text with accessory designs such as silver rose thorns attached to the face, a mask adorned with the figure of the crucified Jesus, horns, bird claw necklaces, and headpieces with skeletal hands. The approach to Dante’s La Divina Commedia across all art forms tends to be lyrical and romantic, even when depicting hell. This study aims to provide practical insights for the fashion industry, which is constantly in search of new creativity.

Its impact on modern culture has been enormous, nourishing a plethora of twentieth century authors ...from Joyce and Borges to Kenzaburo Oe.

Se l’esistenza letteraria dell’Argentina iniziava con l’Indipendenza, ciò significava non avere radici e fondamenta nel passato. La Divina Commedia finiva per costituire una solida base di civiltà: ...Dante, quindi, con il suo poema, legittimato da Mitre attraverso la sua traduzione, è introdotto a pieno titolo nella storia culturale del paese.Dante Legitimized in Mitre’s Argentina Since Argentinian literature started with Independence, it does not have roots in the past. Dante’s Divine Comedy was thus often used as a solid basis for civilization. Through Mitre’s translation, Dante’s poem became part of the cultural history of Argentina.
The California Lectura Dantis is the long-awaited companion to the three-volume verse translation by Allen Mandelbaum of Dante's Divine Comedy. Mandelbaum's translation, with facing original text and ...with illustrations by Barry Moser, has been praised by Robert Fagles as "exactly what we have waited for these years, a Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror, and profoundly moving depths," and by the late James Merrill as "lucid and strong . . . with rich orchestration . . . overall sweep and felicity . . . and countless free, brilliant, utterly Dantesque strokes." Charles Simic called the work "a miracle. A lesson in the art of translation and a model (an encyclopedia) for poets. The full range and richness of American English is displayed as perhaps never before." This collection of commentaries on the first part of the Comedy consists of commissioned essays, one for each canto, by a distinguished group of international scholar-critics. Readers of Dante will find this Inferno volume an enlightening and indispensable guide, the kind of lucid commentary that is truly adapted to the general reader as well as the student and scholar.

In Dante's Commedia: Theology as Poetry, an international group of theologians and Dante scholars provide a uniquely rich set of perspectives focused on the relationship between theology and poetry ...in theCommedia. Examining Dante's treatment of questions of language, personhood, and the body; his engagement with the theological tradition he inherited; and the implications of his work for contemporary theology, the contributors argue for the close intersection of theology and poetry in the text as well as the importance of theology for Dante studies. Through discussion of issues ranging from Dante's use of imagery of the Church to the significance of the smile for his poetic project, the essayists offer convincing evidence that his theology is not what underlies his narrative poem, nor what is contained within it: it is instead fully integrated with its poetic and narrative texture.
