Julius Zukowski-Krebs

Camillo's “Un Corpo“ is a story about the horrors of male mania over a young woman, the fear of medical progress in the 19th century, and the Bohemian lifestyle. Full of uncanny coincidences, 19th-century aesthetics and written in a superbly executed realist style. Meanwhile, Arrigos „L'alfier nero“ is a macabre tale of racism, black revenge, colonial guilt and the Haitian Revolution.

Influenced by their friends, such as Tarchetti and the dark romantics from Germany and the US, they each wrote a several uncanny short stories that would have merited a literary career all on their own. Sadly, neither Camillo nor Arrigo pursued their literary endeavors, and we are left with the few dark and masterly written narratives.

Some of my favorite Italian horror authors of the 19th century are undoubtedly the brothers Boito. Both Camillo and Arrigo were prolific artists, the former an architect in his own right, the latter a composer and librettist (for, among others, Verdi). They both were part of the Italian anti-bourgeois artist movement the Scapigliati (imho the real punks of the 19th century).

hey folks, I am not only new here but new to social media in general. So forgive me for mistakes as I do not know how things work. I used a diaspora account for a while years back, but did not use it much, same here now. so far. hope here it might run better, as I believe that it is important to show people alternatives!!
So yeah, glad to be here :) and I might make my first real post later today.

@benlockwood @MichaelTBacon I spent hours in the car over the weekend with my buddy in #humanities. We taught a science in #literature course together for years. We both fret about the devaluing of (read: "attack on") the humanities, and now even science.

Anyway, yesterday on PA 22 in Blair county we agreed that the value of studying the humanities, for both politics and in science, is the ability ruthlessly to critique your metaphors.

(Of being aware of your metaphors in the first place)
