"Christian Kracht ist ein ganz schlauer Bursche". Eurotrash und der Paratext zwischen Irritation und Metafiktion
No full textChristian Kracht’s paratexts constantly oscillate between originality
and smart market strategies. While his epitexts mostly have an irritating
effect, his peritexts often complete the semantic dimension of his texts
and become understandable only in connection to them. His new novel
Eurotrash puts the reader in front of a particularly complex paratext:
How should the title be understood? What is the meaning of the cover
image, of the dedication and the epigraphs? The back cover contains
a truly clever, half-true quotation of Handke’s (a brilliant PR strategy)
and a brief text of Kehlmann’s, whose name often recurs in the novel
and represents a bridge between the text and his paratext. Not least, a
brief note in the imprint claims the fictionality of the whole story. Not
only does it have the function to protect the author against possible
plaintiffs, but it also amplifies the strong (meta)fictional ambivalence
of the novel and the unreliability of the narrator
Die Welt läßt sich nur mit Prosa erobern. Confluenze della lirica nella prosa di Thomas Bernhard
No full textThomas Bernhard’s early poetry represents a crucial stage in which the author, before the success of Frost (1963), first made stylistic experiments and began developing his original poetics. As a matter of fact, many themes which characterize his later prose can already be found in his lyrical works. Additionally, his revolutionary, unmistakable form appears to have its origin in the repetition and fluidity of his verses. This essay aims to address the aspects of continuity between Thomas Bernhard’s poetry and prose. The materiality of text in particular shows how the first genre flowed into the second one: not only are there strong similarities between language and themes in poetry and prose, but also entire portions of unpublished lyrical texts (or published only later) were recycled and transferred into Bernhard’s initial works of prose
Comprehensive effects of LVAD speed changes on alveolar gas exchange, sleep ventilatory pattern, and exercise performance
No full textBackground. Increasing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) pump speed according to patients’ activity is a fascinating hypothesis. This paper is an analysis of the short-term effects of LVAD speed increase on cardiopulmonary exercise performance, muscle oxygenation (NIRS), lung diffusion capacity (DLCO and DLNO), and sleep quality.
Methods. We analyzed CPET, DLCO and DLNO, and sleep in 33 Jarvik 2000 LVAD patients. After a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET, n=28), patients underwent two maximal CPETs with LVAD speed randomly set at 3 or increased from 3 to 5 during effort (n=15). Then, at LVAD speed randomly set at 2 or 4, we performed: a) constant workload CPETs assessing O2 kinetics, cardiac output (CO), and muscle oxygenation (n=15); b) resting DLCO and DLNO (n=18); c) nocturnal cardiorespiratory monitoring (n=29).
Results. The progressive pump speed increase raised peak VO2 (12.5±2.5 ml/min/kg vs. 11.7±2.8 at speed 3; p=0.001). During constant workload, from speed 2 to 4, CO increased (3.18±0.76 L/min vs. 3.69±0.75, p=0.015, at rest; 5.91±1.31 L/min vs. 6.69±0.99, p=0.014, during exercise), and system efficiency (τ= 65.8±15.1 sec vs. 49.9±14.8, p=0.002) and muscle oxygenation improved. At speed 4, DLCO decreased, and obstructive apneas increased despite a significant apnea/hypopnea index and a reduction of central apneas.
Conclusion. Short-term LVAD speed increase improves exercise performance, CO, O2 kinetics, and muscle oxygenation. However, it deteriorates lung diffusion, and it increases obstructive apneas, likely due to an increase of intrathoracic fluids. Self-adjusting LVAD speed is a fascinating but possibly unsafe option, probably requiring a monitoring of intrathoracic fluids

Novalis e Pascal. L’influsso degli “antichi maestri” nelle opere di Thomas Bernhard
No full textL’elaborato si pone come obiettivo l’analisi degli influssi che due pensatori del calibro di Novalis e Pascal esercitarono sulla poetica e sulla produzione di Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989). Partendo da citazioni ricorrenti nei testi dell’autore, si passerà ad una loro contestualizzazione e ad un esame del ruolo che le due figure ricoprirono nella cosmogonia bernhardiana. Personalità di per sé molto diverse, poeta romantico il primo e teologo il secondo, vissute in epoche e contesti differenti, costituiscono tuttavia punti di riferimento fondamentali e ineludibili per la comprensione dei testi dell’autore austriaco. Novalis, teoreta di quella filosofia della malattia che così profondamente pervade le opere di Bernhard, influenzò fortemente la sua oscura poetica della morte e della Hoffnungslosigkeit, e proprio il frammento, l’unità minima e paradigmatica della produzione novalisiana, venne erto da Bernhard a modello compositivo, sia nella prosa che nel teatro. Altro campione di questo espediente stilistico, di questo testo breve ma ricchissimo di significato, fu Blaise Pascal, che nei Pensées, formidabile apologia del Cristianesimo nonché introspezione del rapporto tra l’uomo e il Divino, mise a nudo i punti cardini della miseria e della finitezza umana, sui quali Bernhard fece leva in maniera personalissima, per consolidare la propria visione del mondo e per dare vita alla teologia negativa che pervade le sue opere
