Barrie Tullett’s Visual Project
“The Typographic Dante is a series of typographic illustrations created by Tullett as a response to the unfolding narrative of Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy.
[…]
“With each Canto being illustrated typographically, and each book of the Divine Comedy having a different typographic style this project by Barrie Tullett, Programme Leader for Graphic Design at the University of Lincoln, eventually illustrates each of the 100 Cantos of Dante’s Divine Comedy using a different ‘obsolete’ technology.
“The 34 Cantos of The Inferno are realised using the wood and metal type of letterpress printing, the 33 Cantos of Purgatory are created on the typewriter, and the 33 Cantos of Paradise will be visualised with Letraset.” — “The Typographic Dante: to hell and back with Barrie Tullett’s stunning visual project,” Typeroom, March 26, 2020.
Dante’s Divine Comedy Performed by Dance Company No Gravity in Kansas City
“Now Dante’s epic poem is a ballet, and it’s going to be performed in Kansas City. The Harriman-Jewell Series presents the Italian dance company No Gravity performing Divine Comedy Jan. 31 at the Folly Theater.
“From the sulfurous depths of the Inferno to Paradiso, where Dante has a mystical vision of “the Love that moves the sun and the other stars,” “Divine Comedy” is undoubtedly one of the central works of Western civilization. But to tell its cosmic story theatrically is a challenge. Pellisari, however, has created a stage work that brings Dante’s medieval phantasmagoria to life.” — “To Hell and Back: Dazzling dance company does Dante,” KC Studio, January 10, 2024.
“Dante’s Virgil as a Guide for College Professors: Insights from Inferno” by Elizabeth Stice
“How can we demonstrate care and impart knowledge? How can we manage a classroom while leaving space for self-discovery? How can we integrate experience with education? How can we be caring adults in the lives of young people? There are very few books about being a professor that approach the topic from the student perspective. If we are willing to consider a non-traditional student and a non-traditional approach, we might find the Virgil of Dante’s Inferno to be a very good guide for college professors.
“Dante will not just emerge from Hell having seen some things. He will emerge from Hell with more wisdom and strength of his own. By the end of Inferno, Dante achieves nearly all the desirable non-academic learning outcomes for an undergraduate student. He undertakes a journey and learns at every stop along the way.” — Elizabeth Stice, “Dante’s Virgil as Guide for College Professors: Insights from Inferno,” Front Porch Republic, February 1, 2024.
Graffiti Portrait of Dante in Naples
This graffito, which is located in Naples, represents a stylized representation of Dante Alighieri. At the top left corner of the work, the phrase “fatti non fumo” (facts not smoke) is included — this could relate to the famous line “fatti non foste a viver come bruti, / ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza” (Inf. 26.119-120: “you were not made to live your lives as brutes, / but to be followers of worth and knowledge”), which is spoken by Ulisse in the Eighth Circle of Hell. — ALDAM, Dante Graffiti, Via dei Tribunali, Napoli.
