"Il giardino dei Loman" verte sull'analisi del giardino nella pièce di Arthur Miller, "Death of a Salesman". L'autrice ripercorre la storia del teatro del Novecento relativamente alle influenze europeee e al carattere innovativo acquisito oltre-oceano a cominciare dagli esperimenti di Eugene O'Neill. In particolare, si esamina il nascere di una nuova professionalita', quella dello scenografo, assunta con genialita' e passione da Jo Mielziner. Il contributo dello scenografo alla messa in scena di 'Death of a Salesman' è esaminato in riferimento ai materiali, anche inediti, conservati presso il Lincoln Center for Performing Arts di New York, dove e' stata condotta parte della ricerca. Le modalità di traduzione teatrale della metafora creata da Miller si rivelano un prodotto della collaborazione tra autore, regista e scenografo. L’ approccio metodologico è innovativo per l’integrazione raggiunta tra le conclusioni raggiunte tramite le discipline teatrali e quelle letterarie, una sintesi raramente raggiunta dagli studiosi dei due diversi settori disciplinari.
"The Loman's Garden" focuses on the analysis of Arthur Miller's play, “Death of a Salesman”. The author walks into the steps of 19th century theatre stressing the European influences and their innovative character in the US, starting from E.O'Neill's dramatic experiments. In particular, the new professional figure called scenographer is focused on, and the important passionate role played by Jo Mielziner in establishing it. Mielziner's contribution to the staging of “Death of a Salesman” is examined with reference to the unpublished materials kept at New York Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, where research for the paper was undertaken. The translation of Miller's metaphor into theatrical terms is carried out in the light of the tight collaboration between playwright, director, and scenic designer (Miller-Kazan-Mielziner). The methodological approach is innovative in that it has been possible to reach conclusions that belong to the theatrical disciplines studies and the literary ones, so much so that a synthesis has been reached on this rare occasion.

Abstract
"The Loman's Garden" focuses on the analysis of Arthur Miller's play, “Death of a Salesman”. The author walks into the steps of 19th century theatre stressing the European influences and their innovative character in the US, starting from E.O'Neill's dramatic experiments. In particular, the new professional figure called scenographer is focused on, and the important passionate role played by Jo Mielziner in establishing it. Mielziner's contribution to the staging of “Death of a Salesman” is examined with reference to the unpublished materials kept at New York Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, where research for the paper was undertaken. The translation of Miller's metaphor into theatrical terms is carried out in the light of the tight collaboration between playwright, director, and scenic designer (Miller-Kazan-Mielziner). The methodological approach is innovative in that it has been possible to reach conclusions that belong to the theatrical disciplines studies and the literary ones, so much so that a synthesis has been reached on this rare occasion.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
