From actions to effects: Three constraints on event mappings
No full textEvents can be modeled through a geometric approach, representing event structures in terms of spaces and mappings between spaces. At least two spaces are needed to describe an event, an action space and a result space. In this article, we invoke general mathematical structures in order to develop this geometric perspective. We focus on three cognitive processes that are crucially involved in events: causal thinking, control of action and learning by generalization. These cognitive processes are supported by three corresponding mathematical properties: monotonicity (that we relate to qualitative causal thinking and allows extrapolation); continuity (that plays a key role in our activities of action control); and convexity (that facilitates generalization and the categorization of events, and enables interpolation). We define how such properties constrain events representations and relate them to thinking about events. We discuss the relevance of the three constraints for event segmentation and explore the implications of such constraints for semantics. We conclude by a discussion that relates our approach to other accounts of events

No full textIl tempio malatestiano e la grafica faentina. Su alcuni disegni riminesi di Felice Giani e Antonio Liverani
No full textLa presenza di Felice Giani a Rimini si sostanzia in un gruppo di disegni del 1815, alcuni dei quali inediti, conservati presso il Fondo Piancastelli della Biblioteca di Forlì e presso il Cooper Hewitt Museum. L'interesse degli artisti faentini dell'Ottocento per il tempio malatestiano trova infine suggello in alcuni disegni inediti di Antonio Liverani conservati presso la Pinacoteca di Faenza
Maria Nallino (1908-1974) and the Birth of Arabic and Islamic studies at Ca’ Foscari
No full textThis essay, based on bibliographic and archival material, focuses on the academic figure Maria Nallino, a scholar whose voluminous body of work ranges from classicism to modernity with equal fluency and expertise. Daughter of the famous Orientalist Carlo Alfonso Nallino (1872-1938), whose work she gathered and actively promoted, her arrival at Ca’ Foscari (1962) inaugurated Arabic and Islamic studies in Venice
