Lawyers on the Edge: What Happened to Rudy Giuliani?
No full textPlease join The Jacob Burns Center for Ethics in the Practice of Law for the second in their series of book talks, Lawyers on the Edge, with Andrew Kirtzman, author of Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America\u27s Mayor.
Andrew Kirtzman, journalist and author, has been following the career of Rudy Giuliani since the 1990s. His new biography traces Giuliani from the beginning of his rise to his role as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer.
Professor Jessica Roth, Co-Director of the Jacob Burns Center for Ethics in the Practice of Law, will lead a discussion with Kirtzman about his book. This is the second in a series of book talks exploring the circumstances that led certain lawyers to choose their controversial clients and to examine how easy or difficult it would have been for them to back away from the edge.

Croce e il paradosso della comunicazione
No full textThis essay investigates Benedetto Croce’s philosophy of language
from a critical perspective, highlighting the relationship between “expression”
and “communication”. The author further suggests that the manner in
which Croce’s developed his conception of language was also due to ethicalpolitical
considerations.This essay investigates Benedetto Croce’s philosophy of language

Mauro Giuliani : Guitar Concertos
No full textIn my thesis, I would like to emphasise to general consciousness relatively few played (but well known) guitar concertos of the guitar virtuoso and composer, living at the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th, Mauro Giuliani. I would like to perform it in such a manner, that in the first part, I will set his musical personality into a context of his time and shortly describe his musical career and whereabouts, especially in a relation with many signifiant personalities from his surrounding, with who he has collaborated with, or got inspiration from, so that it influenced his work.
In the next part, I would cite all the major fields of his work and evaluate them from today?s perspective as a performer. Technical requirements of his compositions are very individual and therefore the author is very valuable for a wide range of guitarists. Many of Giuliani?s compositions are very few known, so I would like to especially pick these up to attention, that I consider they don?t deserve to be quite forgotten or overlooked.
Then, in the following chapter, I will analyse the 3 existing guitar concertos. That should be the core of my thesis. Especially, I would like to focus on 3rd concerto F-major op.70, originally written for the terz guitar.
At the end, I will make an emphasis on the meaning of his concertos in the way, that I sum up the conclusions from the previous chapter. From the perspective of classical guitar literature are these concertos very valuable, because in comparison with some other instruments, we have a very few of them in general. Especially from this period of time and this quality.

Why We Can’t Help but Call Ourselves (All) ‘Sartorians’
No full textThis article, presented at the Annual Conference of the Italian Society of Political Science in 2024, explores the
intellectual legacy of Giovanni Sartori and his enduring influence on political science. The author reflects on
Sartori’s contributions to three key domains: political theory, methodology, and comparative politics. The text
highlights Sartori’s insistence on theory-driven approaches over purely data-centred methods, as well as his
critical stance on the behavioural drift of social sciences. The article also underscores Sartori's dedication to
bridging theory and practice, advocating for political science as a tool for addressing real-world challenges. In
conclusion, it calls for greater public engagement within the discipline, proposing initiatives like a political science
festival to further Sartori’s vision of a socially impactful academic field
Cast apart by the elites: how status influences assortative matching in industrial clusters
No full textIn this article we investigate how status considerations influence inter-firm knowledge transfer in industrial clusters. Using evidence of a highly dynamic wine cluster and network analysis methods of Stochastic Actor-Oriented Modelling, we find that status considerations drive assortative matching in the formation of ties within a cluster. This means that low-status firms are cast from the ‘circles that count’, while high-status firms are likely to interact with similar others. Far from being an equal space of knowledge sharing, some clusters may instead be spaces of social hierarchies and elitist ties
Rome wasn’t built in a day ... reflecting on time, intellectual capital and intellectual liabilities
No full textPurpose – The aim of this paper is to analyse, through a temporal lens and from a managerial perspective, the role played by intellectual capital and intellectual liabilities “in practice” within the value creation and value destruction processes. In particular, this study is based on the following research question: To what extent are time and its attributes considered, measured, and discussed with reference to Intellectual Capital (IC) and Intellectual Liabilities (ILs) and their influence on Financial Capital (FC)? In order to achieve this purpose, the author has carried out a field study.
Design/methodology/approach – A field study method is adopted in order to understand intellectual capital and intellectual liabilities ‘in action’ from a temporal perspective.
Findings – This study highlights the relevance of time when intellectual capital and intellectual liabilities are analysed from a dynamic perspective. In particular, the main findings are the following. First, it emerges that the time dimension of IC tends not to be measured due to the complexity of IC itself and to the lack of adequate accounting practices. Second, IC time is generally considered to be non-cyclical and random. Third, even if time is not measured, some companies talk about it and when this is done with regularity, time perceptions move from an individual sphere to a collective one and they become more and more reliable. Moreover, IC performance is perceived to be “distant” from FC performance: the succession of events and the time lags are difficult to define and quantify as the influence of IC on FC is mediated by several resources and events. Lastly, the value destruction process related to ILs tends to generate negative effects faster than the value creation one, especially with reference to the impacts of IC on FC.
Research limitations – The main limitations of this study are twofold. The first is related to the methodology adopted and the related risks that the results may be subject to both interviewee and interviewer bias and interpretation. The second is related to the fact that the constructs to be discussed were not proposed by the firms but by the author, in order to make the results comparable.
Implications – This study contributes to the literature on intellectual capital and intellectual liabilities ‘in action’ and ‘in practice’. Moreover, this study enriches the extant intellectual capital and intellectual liabilities literature focusing on time, a variable that is generally assumed to be a natural unchangeable phenomenon that does not deserve attention. In particular, the findings highlight the different behaviours and perceptions that occur when intellectual capital and intellectual liabilities are looked at through a temporal lens. Finally, this study pinpoints that value creation and value destruction processes seem to have different timings as it takes more time to create value than to destroy it.
Originality/value - In comparison to previous studies, this study does not focus on the positive and negative effects of IC separately, but combines the two issues, also comparing the value creation and the value destruction processes in order to offer a complete picture. Moreover, it adopts a temporal lens, which has been applied only with reference to IC but not to ILs as well. Finally, while the extant literature on ILs tends to investigate them from a theoretical perspective and adopting a static approach, this research investigates ILs empirically from a dynamic perspective
