Dal “Posto di vacanza” al “Sabato tedesco”: costanti e novità nell’ultimo Sereni [pp. 236-254]
No full textThe study highlights how, in the transition from L’opzione (1964) to Il sabato tedesco (1980), Vittorio Sereni employs images and motifs already present in Un posto di vacanza (1972) and engages in a reflection on the theme of identity with an unusual punctuality; how, moreover, by transferring to Il sabato tedesco a number of poems later included in Stella variabile (1981), he elaborates an original form of prosimetrum.Lo studio mette in evidenza come, nel passaggio da L’Opzione (1964) a Il sabato tedesco (1980), Vittorio Sereni impieghi immagini e motivi già presenti in Un posto di vacanza (1972) e si impegni in una riflessione sul tema dell’identità con una puntualità non usuale; come, inoltre, trasferendo nella prosa un certo numero di poesie poi accolte in Stella variabile (1981), elabori una forma originale di prosimetro
(Cyber)Bullying Representations in the Transformation of Legislation: Interdisciplinary Insights
No full textThis article aims to analyze online abuse among preadolescents and adolescents, along with the key legal frameworks addressing it.
After outlining theoretical challenges in defining the object of study – and the resulting limitations in data accuracy – the study identifies common characteristics and distinctions among different forms of bullying. It also presents secondary data on the focus of this study: cyberbullying.
The discussion then turns to legal dimensions, reviewing the most significant regulatory measures in Europe, with a focus on the key Italian legislation (Law 71/2017), as recently amended by Law 70/2024, which contributes to reshaping an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
The article briefly explores practical challenges, including gaps in the implementation of current legislation, and the coexistence of other potentially relevant norms in addressing relational dysfunctions among younger generations.
Additionally, it highlights recurring patterns and distinctive features in the Italian regional laws currently in force.
Finally, the article discusses the prevailing paradigms for preventing and combating cyberbullying in Italy, assessing them in light of the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).L’articolo intende analizzare il tema degli atti di prevaricazione in Rete tra preadolescenti e adolescenti e la principale normativa che a essi si riferisce.
Dopo aver sottolineato alcune difficoltà teoriche che si incontrano nella definizione dell’oggetto di studio, con la conseguente scarsa accuratezza nella raccolta dei dati, verranno evidenziate le caratteristiche comuni tra le differenti forme di bullismo, così come le loro specificità. Saranno inoltre presentati alcuni dati secondari sul fenomeno oggetto dell’articolo, il cyberbullismo.
L’articolo proseguirà approfondendo alcuni aspetti prettamente giuridici. Verrà esaminata, nell’ambito dei più rilevanti interventi normativi in Europa, la principale normativa italiana sul tema (L. 71/2017), come recentemente integrata dalla L. 70/2024, la quale contribuisce, in modo più ampio, anche a ridisegnare il contesto normativo di riferimento, caratterizzato da una crescente complessità.
Sintetici approfondimenti riguarderanno le problematiche applicative correlate anche alla incompleta attuazione della disciplina vigente, nonché la coesistenza di altre norme potenzialmente rilevanti nell’affrontare le disfunzioni relazionali delle giovani generazioni.
Si evidenzieranno, inoltre, alcune costanti e peculiarità delle normative regionali a ora esistenti.
Infine, verranno evidenziati i paradigmi prevalenti utilizzati per prevenire e contrastare il fenomeno in Italia, discutendoli alla luce del mandato normativo della CRC del 1989
TRA “SOLLICITATIO” E “DE PESSIMO”: CONTRIBUTO ALL’ANALISI STORICA DEGLI ABUSI SESSUALI CLERICALI NELLA CHIESA CATTOLICA
No full textThis article is dedicated to the analysis and review of documentation relating to sexual abuse by clergy, most of which is already known but has previously been presented in an incomplete manner. A comprehensive examination of these documents allows us to make some observations regarding the global management by the ecclesiastical institution of clerical sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in the 20th century, providing a different interpretative key and opening up further reflections from the point of view of theoretical and conceptual analysis
Objects, museums, places and universities. A story of the Napoleonic era
No full textIl saggio espone l’originale intreccio di amministrazione, spazi, oggetti e discipline generato dalla trasformazione napoleonica dell’istruzione superiore nell’Italia settentrionale. Il caso bolognese è interessante: contestualmente alla nuova Università, fu riconfigurato un quartiere della città. Gli oggetti esposti nei Musei, passati all’Università, non furono più presentati solo come il tesoro dell’Istituto delle Scienze, ma diventarono espressione del potere accademico e del dinamismo di alcune discipline. Attraverso una quantità di fonti d’archivio, il saggio osserva la formazione di una cultura del patrimonio distinta dalla didattica sperimentale e il tentativo di affermare, nei musei e nei gabinetti, una prima leva di tecnici e di curatori, indipendenti dai professori. Emerge poi l’impossibilità di pensare alle collezioni come a gruppi di oggetti esattamente conservati nel corso del tempo, come dimostra l’epoca napoleonica.The text examines how Napoleon’s reform of higher education in northern Italy reshaped administration, spaces, objects, and disciplines. In Bologna, the creation of the new university reconfigured an entire urban district, and the museums transferred to it reframed their objects as expressions of academic authority and disciplinary dynamism. Using extensive archival sources, the essay traces the emergence during the Napoleonic period of a distinct heritage culture—separate from experimental teaching—and the formation of the first technicians and curators independent of professors. The research shows that collections cannot be seen as static sets of objects preserved unchanged over time, as the Napoleonic era itself illustrates

Kingship and Queenship in the Ancient Near Eastern Empires of the 1st Millennium BCE: The Economic Basis
No full textThe institution of kingship, and to a much lesser degree of queenship, has long been of major interest to ancient historians. However, the focus is usually on a single empire or on a comparison between two or three empires, e.g., the Neo-Assyrian and the Roman ones. This paper provides a consistent diachronical comparison over a millennium on the economic basis of the social institution across seven major empires (Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, Teispid-Achaemenid, Seleukid, Ptolemaic, Arsacid, and Roman) with geographical as well as chronological overlap. It further includes systematically kingship as well as queenship, explicates the scope of available sources, and explores the distinction between ‘state’ and ‘royal’ assets (and expenses) to a hitherto unprecedented degree. This elicits important insights into the long-durée dynamics regarding the roles of the ‘head-of-state’ and the ‘leading lady’ within the economic systems of the ancient Near Eastern empires of the 1st millennium BCE
Nest composition of blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) along an urban gradient
No full textNests are structures that protect eggs and nestlings from the external environment while also serving various other functions in avian life histories. Nest-building behaviour varies between species and habitats, and recent work has highlighted that in areas with high human activity and low availability of natural nest material, birds may use anthropogenic material to construct nests. However, we know relatively little about how nest composition is affected by human presence along urban gradients. Here we examined how nest composition differed between urban and forest populations of blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus, and the impact that variation in nest composition had on reproductive success (clutch size, hatching and fledging success). We found a statistically significant decrease in the weight of moss and grass and an increase in anthropogenic materials in urban compared to forest nests. Nests initiated earlier in the urban environment showed a higher weight of anthropogenic materials. The weight of moss and grass was positively related to fledging success. Our results suggest that the use of anthropogenic material by urban birds might be a maladaptation, and/or that urban birds are constrained in the amount of moss and grass they can find during nest building. Future studies should aim to quantify the availability of material within the environment to test these non-mutually exclusive hypotheses

La materializzazione del tempo e la drammaturgia dell\u27amore: différance, Eistand e kairòs nell\u27opera The Telephone di Gian Carlo Menotti
No full textThis study examines Gian Carlo Menotti’s opera buffa The Telephone, a work that stages the tension between the protagonist, Ben, and the Telephone, which assumes the role of co-protagonist and rival in the pursuit of Lucy. By combining different methodological perspectives – namely, those of Music Analysis and philosophical reflection on time and emotions – and drawing on the theories of philosophers such as Jankélévitch and Levinas, the study employs The Telephone as a case study to investigate the materialisation of scenic-musical time. In this opera, Menotti articulates the interplay between the temporalities of desire, waiting, and action, leading to their resolution in the final scene. There, the time of reconciliation is embodied in the waltz, which signifies not only the temporality of love and eros but also the act of agàpe — a time of unconditional giving – and the experience of the Other (Autrui) in the Levinasian sense. Ultimately, at the close of the opera, Ben recognises the Other in his rival, thereby opening a space for empathy and authentic relationality, transcending mere competition and achieving a form of human communion.This study arises from the intention to explore Gian Carlo Menotti’s opera buffa The Telephone through the tools of aesthetic-musicological investigation and the categories of the Philosophy of music, time, and emotions. The main aim is not merely to identify hidden meanings or added values in the composer’s musical dramaturgy, but rather to establish a dialogue—still largely discontinuous—between Music Analysis and philosophical reflection on time and emotions.
The opera lends itself particularly well to an analysis of the materialization of scenic-musical time, as its dramaturgy stages, from the very symbol of the personified telephone, a central issue: the crisis of consciousness and unconsciousness regarding the opposition between phenomenal time and psychological time, within a space-time marked by “deferred” human communication, alienated by the mechanical medium.
The investigation unfolds through the theories of philosophers such as Jankélévitch and Levinas, who offer tools for understanding the conflict and reconciliation of dramaturgical-musical time. In particular, the opera stages the tension between the protagonist Ben and the Telephone, which takes on the role of co-protagonist and rival in the pursuit of Lucy. Through this dynamic, Menotti reflects on the tension between the time of desire, waiting, and action, culminating in its resolution in the final scene, when the time of reconciliation is realized through the waltz.
The waltz, with its harmony and shared rhythm, represents the time of love and eros, but also the act of agape—a time of unconditional giving—and the experience of the Other (Autrui) in the Levinasian sense. It is at this moment that the protagonist Ben recognizes the face of the Other in his rival, thus opening a space for empathy and authentic relationship, overcoming mere competition and reaching a form of human communion.
In summary, the study highlights how The Telephone is not merely a light-hearted comedy, but an opera that, through its musical and dramaturgical weave, deeply addresses the theme of time as a relational and ethical dimension, offering insights for a philosophical-aesthetic reflection on communication, love, and the encounter with the Other
