No full textA Syntactic Interpretation of the Applicative-Causative Syncretism
Get PDFThis paper deals with the applicative-causative syncretism, which is a pattern of morpheme polysemy attested in many different natural languages. We basically interpret the causative-applicative syncretism as based on a shared syntactic configuration. Specifically, we argue that the syncretic morpheme under investigation is the ‘applicative’ counterpart of an adpositional/case elementary relator (Manzini & Franco 2016; Franco & Manzini 2017a), attaching instrumental or benefactive obliques (High Applicatives, cf. Pylkkänen 2002, 2008) to the verbal spine. We follow Bellucci (2017), Manzini & Savoia (2018) in assuming that causees in causative constructions can be introduced as obliques, linked to the same structural position as High Appls. The causative reading of the sentence is driven by interpretive means (cf. Franco & Manzini 2017a). This readily explains the possibility of encoding causative and applicatives with the same lexical items

Get PDFWhy energy democracy can enhance landscape democracy in the energy transition: some reflections on the Italian case
Get PDFThe energy transition towards renewable energy sources is unavoidable in order to reduce gas emissions by 40-70% within 2050 (Paris, 2015). In the last two decades, we assisted at frequent oppositions and block to the installation of renewable energy technologies by local communities, because of the associated landscape change. Local initiatives aiming at the 100% self-sufficiency can be a challenging approach for a sustainable energy transition, safeguarding bot the landscape democracy and the energy democracy. According to studies in sociology, the success of these bottom-up processes at community level depends on the socio-historical backgrounds and in the consequent capacity of acting in a cooperative perspective for the management of common goods. A special attention will be deserved to the Italian regional contexts. According to present literature, landscape architects are called to be facilitators for knowledge integration and reflections among different disciplines and backgrounds, this contribution want to address the role of research and practice in landscape architecture as facilitator, supporting communities in envisioning their own energy transition towards renewable energy
Il paesaggio come strumento. Il caso delle energie rinnovabili
Get PDFThe article proposes a re-reading of the current energy transition as an affirmation of the new landscapes of renewable energy. The transformations are observed on the material as well as on the immaterial level and are an occasion to reflect on the concept and on the possible uses of the landscape not so much as an object of protection but as a tool for investigation and design

Torn Between Neoliberal and Postmodern Trends, Corporatist Defence and Creative Age Prospects: The Ongoing Reshaping of the Classical Music Profession in Italy
Get PDFIn modern industrial societies, strongly associating work to tangible productivity and professions to formal regulation and protection of membership, the music occupation has represented a conundrum for theoretical analysis. In post-industrial societies, however, musicians are being recognised a pivotal role in capitalist economies, as part of a creative class sharing working conditions already defining artistic labour markets, but within a significantly changed regulative framework. Drawing on the literature and her field research, the author adopts a neo-institutional perspective to consider the reshaping of the classical music profession in Italy, exploring how collective and individual actors are responding to neo-liberal trends extending market logic to a music world crossed by processes of cultural declassification. Conclusions reflect over the ambiguities created by creative age prospects, in applying principles of economic hierarchisation within the field of musical production, and over the transient nature of professionalisation processes
