Il Jazz e il primo libro del 'Clavicembalo Ben Temperato'
No full textThe world of jazz has always shown a particular interest towards the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Book 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier (1722-2022) was the incentive to investigate particularly the relation between jazz and this work. In the first part of this paper the authors analyse some possible motivations and general trends concerning the relationship between jazzmen and Bach's music. Some themes came out: ie the respect, or even devotion for Bach. On the other side many jazz musicians feel familiar with Bach, sometimes called "the first jazzman". In the second part, the focus is on some works by individual jazz musicians from different periods, countries and cultural trends (Jacques Loussier Trio, 1959 e 1960; John Lewis, 1985-1990; Enrico Pieranunzi, 2011; Édouard Ferlet, 2012; Brad Mehldau, 2018; Johann Sebastian Jazz [Iñaki Salvador e Alexis Delgado Búrdalo], 2020). Starting from analytical comments about these works, it's possible to notice how Bach's music has stimulated different and highly original readings. In Appendix is provided a catalogue, of course not exhaustive, of Bach-oriented jazz recordings, issued since 1935, until the 2022 anniversary. For each item there is a remark about the kind of elaboration, ranging from a simple reference in the title, to "jazz fugues", to more thorough and transformative creative reworking.Il mondo del jazz ha sempre dimostrato un particolare interesse nei confronti della musica di Johann Sebastian Bach e l’occasione del tricentenario del volume I del Clavicembalo ben temperato (1722-2022) è stato lo stimolo per indagare in particolare il rapporto fra il jazz e questa opera. Nella prima parte del presente contributo sono state analizzate alcune possibili motivazioni e linee di tendenza generali del rapporto fra i jazzisti e la musica di Bach. Sono emersi i temi del rispetto (che sconfina nella devozione), ma anche della familiarità che molti jazzisti sentono con Bach, definito a volte “primo jazzista”. Nella seconda parte sono state invece prese in esame alcune realizzazioni di singoli artisti, di diverse epoche e di diverse aree culturali e geografiche (Jacques Loussier Trio, 1959 e 1960; John Lewis, 1985-1990; Enrico Pieranunzi, 2011; Édouard Ferlet, 2012; Brad Mehldau, 2018; Johann Sebastian Jazz [Iñaki Salvador e Alexis Delgado Búrdalo], 2020). Su di esse sono state presentate osservazioni analitiche, in cui emerge come la musica bachiana abbia stimolato letture assai diverse e personali. In Appendice viene fornito un catalogo, naturalmente non esaustivo, di incisioni jazzistiche Bach-oriented, pubblicate a partire dal 1935, fino all’anniversario 2022. Per ogni item si è cercato di segnalare il tipo di intervento operato, che va dal semplice riferimento nel titolo, a casi di “fughe jazz”, a rielaborazioni creative più approfondite e trasformative
A synthesis of educational chanted rules: The chapter Xuntong men 訓童門 in riyong leishu 日用類書
No full textAmong the many chapters on all human knowledge provided by the 1612 encyclopedia entitled Xin ban zengbu tianxia bian yong wenlin miao jin wanbao quanshu 新板增補天下便用文林妙錦萬寶全書 (The marvelous, precious, newly edited and supplemented “Complete Book of Myriad Treasures” of literati for the convenient use of all), there is also one on infant education. In the introduction of the chapter, the author stresses the importance of education, and how it can transform a person’s life. Therefore, what were the recommended teaching strategies for raising virtuous children? What was the common etiquette for a child to follow in seventeenth-century China? What analogy or difference does it have in comparison to previous pedagogical literature?
This paper, by means of the partial English translation of the encyclopedic chapter Xuntong men 訓童門 (section for educating children), tries to answer these questions by analyzing the educational precepts, their roots anchored in the Chinese pedagogical literature and the use of rhymes such as erge 兒歌, geyao 歌謠, as an effective teaching strategy to make the precepts simpler and catchy.
The selected case study represents a model example of printed text which belongs to the genre riyong leishu 日用類書 (a collection of texts for daily-use), encyclopedias that circulated widely in late Ming and early Qing China, and reflects what was then the most widespread and common knowledge in the pedagogical field recommended for self-study. The chapter which is focused on teaching children also represents the fusion of Confucian educational concepts and the practical nature characteristic of daily-use encyclopedias
La relazione sanitaria e l’attività scientifica di Filippo Rho, medico a bordo della pirocorvetta Caracciolo durante la circumnavigazione del globo (1881-1884)
No full textThe presence of numerous Italian colonies in South America in the second half of the 19th century and the political and social instability in those countries had led our government to send warships in those waters. It was up to the Caracciolo pyrocorvette to reach the Pacific in 1882 where the war between Chile, Bolivia and Peru was underway. The unit will then travel around the world during almost three years. They will encounter difficulties and unexpected events but also exciting moments. The ship’s commander Carlo De Amezaga will write four volumes on the mission which contain, among other things, an extensive health report written by the on-board doctor Filippo Rho. The experience was useful in enriching knowledge of tropical diseases, later described in Filippo Rho’s great treatise on Prevalent Diseases in Hot and Temperate Countries.La presenza di numerose colonie di italiani nell’America del Sud nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento e l’instabilità politica e sociale in quei Paesi aveva indotto il nostro governo a dislocare in quelle acque delle navi da guerra. Toccherà alla pirocorvetta Caracciolo di raggiungere nel 1882 il Pacifico dove era in atto la guerra tra il Cile, la Bolivia ed il Perù. L’unità compirà poi il giro del mondo durato quasi tre anni. La missione andrà incontro a difficoltà ed imprevisti ma anche a momenti esaltanti. Il comandante del bastimento Carlo De Amezaga scriverà quattro volumi sulla missione, che contengono tra l’altro un’ampia relazione sanitaria redatta dal medico di bordo Filippo Rho. L’esperienza contribuì ad arricchire la conoscenza delle malattie tropicali, descritte nel grande trattato sulle Malattie predominanti nei paesi caldi e temperati di Filippo Rho
Origins of Brexit: History at the service of media representation
No full textBrexit is an ideal media event for analysing the circulation of imaginaries and the identity construction within Europe. The analysis focuses on the history writing as a device in the context of the controversies sparked by Brexit. The device concept allows us to identify the relationships between the media as a framework in which the journalist's writing has the dual objective of informing and arguing, in response to an implicit contract with the readership. The analysis of journalists' choices in writing the past leading to Brexit thus shows the constructed public by the media outlet and the fractures that Brexit reveals in the unity imaginaries conveyed by European institutions. The analysis is based on a thesis work and draws on a corpus of nine press titles in three countries: Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Quantitative and qualitative analyses highlight the circulation of different historical motives: the 1930s, the Suez Canal crisis and the immemorial times of Athenian democracy, Christianity and the Enlightenment. The circulatory approach consists of not comparing differences on a national basis, but rather identifying variations in historical motives according to their polarising power. The historical motives analysis shows the formation of a European semiosphere (Bal, 2023) around Brexit, but also the limits of a European public sphere constitution in Habermas' sense.

Pulling democracy up by its national bootstraps? Contemporary societal order in Italy, Europe and the West
No full textTackling the structures of contemporary political life, constituted by nation, state and political regime, is no easy task. Many scholars have dedicated research to decipher the interlinks, even interdependencies, between state-building, nation-building and the formation of political regimes. By crossing centuries and deconstructing the sedimentation of political phenomena that have characterised domestic political life as well as international relations, the essay reviews some of the major features of what it suggests to be a triadic nation-state-regime edifice. With a specific attention paid to Italian and European societies, issues concerning democratic rule, sovereignism, nationalism, populism and so forth are scrutinised, whilst using processual analysis that indicates lacks and excesses in the Western model of a nation-state-based collectivity. The essay briefly introduces the interdependent threefold infrastructure of modern national statehood and juxtaposes some of the main theses which shaped contemporary political thought. It thus draws from recent scientific literature from which it takes inspiration in bridging different scholarly sensibilities. While placing the Italian case, the European context and the vaster Western morphology of nation-state-democracy combination, the essay adds two other variables that have shaped European and Western citizenry: ideology and nostalgia. The latter are then discussed through both theoretical and empirical exemplification of the dynamic dialectics between individuals, collectivity and societal order. The state of contemporary Western democracy is thus put in relation to its long-term institutional and mental stratification, as forged by national statehood and its seemingly ever-lasting hold.Key-words: democracy, national statehood, Italy, European society, ideology, nostalgi
Anatomisti del XV-XVI secolo a Verona. L’eredità medica e umanistica di Gabriele Zerbi, Alessandro Benedetti e Marco Antonio Dalla Torre
No full textNel periodo storico immediatamente precedente l’avvento dell’anatomia moderna con Andrea Vesalio (1514-1564), tre anatomisti veronesi di cui tratta questo articolo si distinsero per il contributo apportato alla scienza anatomica: Gabriele Zerbi (1445-1505) sostenne l’importanza del “metodo manuale” nella dissezione dei cadaveri; Alessandro Benedetti (1450ca-1512) sottolineò la necessità di uno spazio specifico per le dimostrazioni anatomiche (il “teatro anatomico”); Marco Antonio Dalla Torre (1481ca-1511) si concentrò sull’integrazione di un apparato iconografico pertinente nei testi anatomici. Nel Rinascimento, quando i medici erano anche portatori di cultura umanistica, questi anatomisti incarnarono la figura tipica dello scienziato capace di abbracciare una prospettiva multidisciplinare sulla natura e sullo studio, esemplificando il legame stretto tra medicina e filosofia, un collegamento ardentemente sostenuto dal medico e storico della medicina italiano Giuseppe Cervetto (1807-1865), anch’egli veronese. È da Cervetto, e in particolare da un’opera specifica da lui dedicata a Zerbi, Benedetti e Dalla Torre, che nasce l’ispirazione per questo contributo, volto a ricostruire le loro biografie e l’eredità intellettuale che ci hanno lasciato
Agnese Collino, La malattia da 10 centesimi. Storia della polio e di come ha cambiato la nostra società
No full text“Ex ponderatione noveris”: stile e pensiero negli aforismi dell’Ars […] de statica Medicina (1614)
No full textPublished in Venice in 1614, the Ars […] de Statica Medicina is the most significant work – both in terms of editions and translations – by the Istrian physician Santorio Santorio (1561–1636), who served for many years as Professor of Theoretical Medicine at Padua and is still remembered for his experiments devoted to quantifying perspiratio insensibilis as well as for elevating principles of measurement to the primary method for defining the patient’s state of health and disease. The 502 aphorisms that compose this treatise are examined here from a linguistic and rhetorical perspective, with the aim of investigating the formal recurrences that characterize the author’s mode of exposition, and explore the connection between writing style and experimental practice. Particular attention is devoted to the unfolding of syntactic structures and to the recurring and strongly marked figures of symmetry that distinguish them: the syntactic parallelism, and the syntactic correlation. Both phenomena, skillfully interwoven, shape aphorisms that, in their very articulation, lay bare the author’s modes of reasoning. In this way, the relationship emerges between the forms of linguistic argumentation and the interpretation of natural phenomena in mathematical terms: a conceptual framework that, on the threshold of the early modern period, came to be applied also in the medical domain, with Santorio standing as one of its foremost exponents. This study thus seeks to enrich –through the analysis of linguistic phenomena as bearers of historical and cultural meaning – our understanding of the profound evolutionary dynamics that shaped the history of ideas in the century of the Scientific Revolution.Edita a Venezia nel 1614, l’Ars […] de Statica Medicina è l’opera più importante – per numero di edizioni e di traduzioni – del medico istriano Santorio Santorio (1561-1636), per molti anni professore di medicina teorica a Padova e ancora oggi ricordato per i suoi esperimenti dedicati alla quantificazione della perspiratio insensibilis, nonché per l’elezione dei principi misurativi a metodo primario per la definizione dello stato di salute e malattia del paziente. I 502 aforismi che compongono l’opera vengono qui analizzati da un punto di vista linguistico e retorico, andando a indagare le ricorrenze formali che caratterizzano l’esposizione dell’autore con l’obiettivo di esplorare il nesso che intercorre tra stile di scrittura e pratica sperimentale. Particolare attenzione viene posta al dipanarsi della struttura sintattica e alle ricorrenti e marcate figure di simmetria che la caratterizzano: da un lato, il parallelismo e, dall’altro, la correlazione sintattica. Entrambi i fenomeni, sapientemente intrecciati, danno forma ad aforismi che espongono, nel loro stesso dipanarsi, le modalità ragionative di colui che scrive. Emerge in questo modo la relazione tra le forme dell’argomentazione linguistica e l’interpretazione in termini matematici dei fenomeni naturali, che proprio alle soglie della prima età moderna trovò applicazione anche in ambito medico e che vide in Santorio un esponente di primo piano. Tale lavoro si propone quindi di arricchire – mediante l’analisi dei fenomeni linguistici in quanto portatori di significati storico-culturali – la conoscenza delle profonde dinamiche evolutive che interessarono la storia delle idee nel secolo della rivoluzione scientifica
