In occasione del centenario della nascita di Giorgio Bassani, il convegno Giorgio Bassani, scrittore europeo, organizzato dall'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Bruxelles in collaborazione con l'Université de Caen-LASLAR e con il sostegno del Comitato Nazionale per le Celebrazioni, ha indagato una dimensione fondamentale dello scrittore di Ferrara: la sua eccezionale apertura europea. Prosatore, poeta, sceneggiatore, editore, Bassani dialoga nelle sue opere con i grandi modelli della letteratura tra Ottocento e Novecento (da Stendhal a Proust, da Baudelaire a Valéry, da Rimbaud a Dickinson) e attraverso il suo lavoro di traduttore dal francese e dall'inglese si confronta con il problema di traghettare un'opera da una lingua all'altra. In una pluralità e ricchezza di approcci, che investono non solo le opere più celebri, ma anche le prime prove, gli interventi presentati in questa sede delineano, nelle opere di Bassani, un articolato sistema di citazioni e assonanze e mettono in valore la complessità dell'idea di "traduzione" concepita dallo scrittore.Arricchisce il volume l'articolo « Dalla poesia pura all'assenza di poesia » pubblicato da Bassani nel luglio del '47 sulle pagine de Il Popolo e mai più riproposto. Un testo importante che illumina la concezione bassaniana della parola poetica.

Der vorliegende Band 28 der Zeitschrift Morgen-Glantz enthält die überarbeitete Fassung der Vorträge, die an der 27. Tagung der Christian Knorr von Rosenroth-Gesellschaft gehalten wurden. Anlässlich des Gedenkjahrs zur 500. Wiederkehr der durch die 95 Thesen Martin Luthers eingeleiteten Reformation, beschäftigte sich die Tagung mit dem Ringen um den rechten Glauben. Orthodoxie, Konfession und Toleranz 150 Jahre nach der Reformation. Tatsächlich wirkte der Aufruf des Reformators weit in das 17. Jahrhundert hinein und hatte gerade für die Zeitgenossen Christian Knorrs noch Auswirkungen auf ihren Alltag. Der vorliegende Band stellt deshalb die Frage nach den Wirkungen der Reformation und der auf sie reagierenden Reformbestrebungen auf der einen Seite und Rekatholisierungsbemühungen auf der anderen Seite. In diesem Band werden außerdem weitere Beiträge und Rezensionen veröffentlicht, die zum Aufgabenbereich der Gesellschaft und ihrer Zeitschrift gehören.

Du fait de leur intrigante variété formelle, les interrogatives totales et partielles du français ont fait l'objet, au cours des années écoulées, d'une foule de recherches en syntaxe et en sociolinguistique, alors que d'autres courants tels que la rhétorique ou la pragmatique rivalisaient d'ingéniosité pour rendre compte de leur variabilité sémantique. Afin d'enrichir le débat, le présent ouvrage propose une réflexion à large spectre sur les tours interrogatifs du français, leur marquage syntaxique et intonatif, les paramètres linguistiques ou sociaux susceptibles de déclencher, dans un contexte donné, le choix d'une variante interrogative plutôt qu'une autre ; l'ouvrage traite en outre des propriétés sémantiques et inférentielles des interrogatives, ainsi que des fonctions discursives et narratologiques qui leur sont dévolues.Les auteurs appuient leurs analyses sur des exemples attestés, parfois tirés de corpus spécifiques (dialogues de films de banlieue, textos, Fables de La Fontaine, bandes dessinées...). Ils manifestent un éclectisme théorique qui nous semble nécessaire pour appréhender de manière non réductrice cet objet complexe, aux multiples facettes.
