I laterizi di copertura provenienti da alcune tombe alla cappuccina nel territorio di Sarroch
Get PDFThrough this work we want to report the new data that pertain to the study of a group of five tombs with “cappuccina” type covering dated to the imperial Roman period, and were discovered in the Sarroch area. The focus will be on the bricks that covered and sealed the burials, which constitute the overall best preserved materials. In fact, despite still being a class of materials generally considered somehow of secondary relevance, a detailed analysis can lead not only to interesting data on the context itself but also to new starting points for studies on the surrounding area.Attraverso il presente lavoro si vogliono riportare le nuove acquisizioni inerenti allo studio di un gruppo di cinque sepolture con copertura alla cappuccina di epoca romana imperiale, rinvenute nel territorio di Sarroch. Il focus verrà posto sui laterizi che ricoprivano e sigillavano le tombe, essendo i materiali complessivamente meglio conservati. Infatti, pur essendo ancora una classe di materiali generalmente considerata, per certi versi, secondaria, un’analisi dettagliata sui laterizi può portare non solo a dati interessanti sul contesto in sé ma anche a ulteriori spunti di indagine sul territorio circostante
Genesi di un’anomia: note sull’aretalogia di Maronea
Get PDFThe Isiac Aretalogy of Maroneia (I. Thrake Aeg. E 205) is a prose hymn inscribed on stone and addressed to Isis. Scholars have often questioned the identity of the author and it is commonly accepted that he was a professional rhetorician active between the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 1st century BC, when the inscription can be paleographically dated. After exploring the limits of these thesis, Ι will focus on the analysis of part of the local Isiac epigraphic documentation. This approach seeks to privilege the delineation of the specific socio-cultural environment, so as to look not for an author of the text as for its context of origin. I will use a recently theorized methodological paradigm in which the Isiac Aretalogies are conceived as an example of codification or canonization.L’Aretalogia isiaca di Maronea (I. Thrake Aeg. E 205) è un inno in prosa iscritto su pietra e indirizzato alla dea Iside. Gli studiosi si sono spesso interrogati sull’identità dell’autore ed è comunemente accettato che si tratti di un retore di professione, attivo tra la fine del II e l’inizio del I secolo a.C., ovvero il periodo in cui l’iscrizione è databile. Dopo aver esplorato i limiti di tali ricostruzioni, ci si soffermerà non tanto sulla ricerca di un autore del testo, quanto sulla delineazione dell’ambiente socio-culturale visibile in filigrana grazie alla documentazione epigrafica isiaca locale. Si utilizzerà un paradigma metodologico di recente teorizzazione in cui le Aretalogie isiache sono concepite come un esempio di codifica o canonizzazione.  
Répertorier les textes historiques mineurs en français: la question du titre
Get PDFSome Italian manuscripts from the late 13th century include a chronicle of emperors and a French annalistic text following the Faits des Romains. These two short historical texts in French prose stem from two different Latin traditions. The chronicle of emperors is a partial translation of Gilbert’s Chronicon pontificum et imperatorum Romanorum, while the French annals trace back to the Latin Annales mineures de Fécamp through the intermediary of their French translation known as the Annales brèves universelles. This paper builds on the information derived from the recently identified Latin sources to suggest new titles for the French historical texts. By considering both the genres in medieval Latin and vernacular historiography, as well as modern taxonomic requirements and common practices for titling historical texts, I propose assigning the title Chronique des empereurs d’Octavien à Frédéric II to the chronicle of emperors and Annales mineures abrégées jusqu’en 1239 en français to the annalistic text previously known as Chronologie depuis Adam jusqu’à 1239.Plusieurs manuscrits italiens de la fin du xiiie siècle associent les Faits des Romains à une chronique des empereurs et à un texte annalistique d’allure gallicane. Ces deux brefs textes en prose française, à teneur historique et assimilables à des textes de consultation, découlent de deux traditions latines différentes. La chronique des empereurs est une traduction partielle du Chronicon pontificum et imperatorum Romanorum de Gilbert, tandis que les annales françaises remontent aux Annales mineures de Fécamp en latin par l’intermédiaire de leur traduction française intégrale, connue sous le titre d’Annales brèves universelles. Cet article met à profit les informations issues de l’identification de ces sources latines et françaises pour réfléchir aux titres des deux textes historiques français. En considérant autant la division des genres de l’historiographie médiévale latine et vernaculaire que les exigences taxinomiques modernes et les pratiques courantes de titrage des textes historiques, je formule la proposition d’attribuer le celui de Chronique des empereurs d’Octavien à Frédéric II à la chronique des empereurs et d’Annales mineures abrégées jusqu’en 1239 en français à ce qui était auparavant connu sous le titre de Chronologie depuis Adam jusqu’à 1239

«Mathematically uncontrolled but humanly contained». L'approccio distopico in David Foster Wallace
Get PDFDavid Foster Wallace wrote two dystopian novels, both set in a near future and depicting the same sort of disastrous political landscapes. This study aims to compare the two works, identifying similarities in the characters and plot between The Broom of the System (1987) and Infinite Jest (1996). Besides showing the systematic repetition of patterns in DFW’s fiction – which is in itself relevant, as these repeated creative choices often move against the canon of the most famous dystopian novels – this comparison will outline how Andrew Lang from The Broom and Don Gately from Infinite Jest occupy the same positions within their respective character systems and how the difference between the two (Lang does not have morals, whereas Gately does) causes the “narrative equations” of these partially symmetrical books to diverge towards two opposite endings, allowing the possibility of a positive resolution in Infinite Jest that DFW’s first dystopic take failed to find.David Foster Wallace wrote two dystopian novels, both set in a near future and depicting the same sort of disastrous political landscapes.

Demonización del cuerpo y de la animalidad indígena en el norte novohispano
Get PDFThis article examines how missionaries in northern New Spain participated in the construction of a discourse that demonized certain bodily and animal manifestations present in Indigenous worldviews. Through the analysis of missionary sources, it is shown that the Christian category of the demonic, associated with the body, the flesh, and the animal, was used to identify Indigenous peoples as barbaric, bestial, and in need of redemption. Far from reproducing a reading focused solely on colonial logic, this work proposes a theoretical contrast that privileges Indigenous ways of understanding the world. Drawing on Viveiros de Castro’s Amerindian perspectivism, it suggests that the body is a form of relation and transformation among beings, an expression of multinaturalism, in contrast to the Western obsession with unity and homogeneity. Thus, the article seeks to demonstrate that missionary discourses sought to reconfigure the horizon of meaning of these societies, imposing a hierarchical and anthropocentric vision that rendered other modes of inhabiting and signifying the world invisible.Este artículo examina cómo los misioneros del norte novohispano participaron en la construcción de un discurso que demonizaba ciertas manifestaciones corporales y animales presentes en las cosmovisiones indígenas. A través del análisis de fuentes misionales, se muestra cómo la categoría cristiana de lo demoniaco, asociada al cuerpo, a la carne y a lo animal, fue usada para identificar lo indígena como bárbaro, bestial y necesitado de redención. Lejos de replicar una lectura centrada únicamente en la lógica colonial, este trabajo propone un contraste teórico que privilegia las formas indígenas de comprender el mundo. A partir del perspectivismo amerindio de Viveiros de Castro, se sugiere que el cuerpo es una forma de relación y transformación entre seres, una expresión de multinaturalidad, en contraste con la obsesión occidental por la unidad y la homogeneidad. Así, se busca demostrar que los discursos misionales intentaron reconfigurar el horizonte de sentido de dichas sociedades, imponiendo una visión jerárquica y antropocéntrica que invisibilizó otros modos de habitar y significar el mundo

Ermeneutica e decostruzione (E. Romagnoli)
No full textIl volume di Elena Romagnoli Ermeneutica e decostruzione. Il dialogo ininterrotto tra Gadamer e Derrida rimette al centro le relazioni fra due importanti paradigmi di pensiero che hanno profondamente segnato lo scorso secolo: ermeneutica e decostruzione. Per fare ciò, l’autrice prende le mosse dal celebre confronto tra Hans-Georg Gadamer e Jacques Derrida avvenuto nel 1981 al Goethe-Institut di Parigi, spesso definito nei termini di un “dialogo tra sordi”..
