Enrico Vettore

Enrico Vettore鈥檚 research interests include 19th and 20th century Italian literature with a particular emphasis on the relationship between ethics and literature and philosophy and literature. Other major areas of focus are Italian cinema and Jungian and post-Jungian literary criticism. He has published articles on Petrarch and Schopenhauer, Roberto Rossellini, Leonardo Sciascia and Manzoni, Sciascia and Jorge Luis Borges, Pasolini鈥檚 Medea and a Zen reading of Pirandello鈥檚 One, No One and One Hundred Thousands. He is currently working on the relation between nature and characters in Michelangelo Antonioni鈥檚 tetralogy. His next project is an analysis of the presence of dogs and animals in Tomasi di Lampedusa鈥檚 Il Gattopardo from a post-Jungian and ecopsychological perspective.
