Beckett’s dialogue with the arts (music, painting, digital media) has found a growing critical attention, from seminal comprehensive studies (L. Oppenheim 2000; L.

However, a specific analysis on Beckett’s relationship with Italian arts and poetry on one side - and on Italian’s artists response to the Beckett’s oeuvre on the other - is still missing. The volume offers an original examination of Beckett’s dialogue with Italy through different media (architecture, sculpture, painting, radio, opera, poetry, translation, philosophy). It also testifies his presence on contemporary Italian cultural scene, a stage where he became (and still is) the fulcrum of some of the most significant experimentations across different genres and media. The reader will look at him as an ‘Italian’ artist, in constant dialogue with the most significant modern European cultural turns.

Abstract

Beckett’s dialogue with the arts (music, painting, digital media) has found a growing critical attention, from seminal comprehensive studies (L. Oppenheim 2000; L. Harvey, 1967, to name just two) to more recent contributions (Gontarski, ed., 2014; Lloyd, 2018). Research has progressively moved from a general inquiry on Beckett beyond the strictly literary to issues related to intermediality and embodiment (Maude, 2009; Tajiri, 2007), post humanism and technology (Boulter, 2019; Kirushina, Adar, Nixon eds, 2021), intersections with popular culture (Pattie and Stewart, eds., 2019). However, a specific analysis on Beckett’s relationship with Italian arts and poetry on one side - and on Italian’s artists response to the Beckett’s oeuvre on the other - is still missing. The volume offers an original examination of Beckett’s dialogue with Italy through different media (architecture, sculpture, painting, radio, opera, poetry, translation, philosophy). It also testifies his presence on contemporary Italian cultural scene, a stage where he became (and still is) the fulcrum of some of the most significant experimentations across different genres and media. The reader will look at him as an ‘Italian’ artist, in constant dialogue with the most significant modern European cultural turns.
