Bøger af Giancarlo (Retired) Maiorino

Titology is the field of literary studies that focuses on the significance of a title in establishing the thematic developments of the pages that follow. This book presents a theoretical discussion of the significance of the title as a foundation for scholarly criticism.

This text is a criticism of the Renaissance mind and its products. It examines art, philosophy and other aspects of the history of ideas and painting and sculpture as related, as it flows out of the widening cornucopia of the past.

Published in 1554, "Lazarillo de Tormes" shocked art and society during the Renaissance. Giancarlo Maiorino treats this picaresque narrative as a prism for exploring "econopoetics", a term he uses to foreground the ways in which literary and economic modes of production feed off one another.
