In primum librum Regum expositionum libri VI
No full textThe paper traces the misunderstandings of the commentary on the first book of Regum attributed to Gregory the Great. The history of the editions is analyzed till the discovery of the only manuscript known of the work, Cava dei Tirreni, Biblioteca dell'Abbazia 9. The criteria of the last edition by Patrick Verbraken are discussed as he uncritically favored the manuscript on the constitutio textus. The problem of the authorship of the work is investigated: although recent studies date the commentary to the twelfth century and ascribe it to Peter of Venosa on the basis of the Chronicon Venusinum, it is possible that the author used texts authentically gregorian
A aparição do demônio no Catulé The demon's apparition in Catulé
No full textCarlos Castaldi faz uma "descrição densa" da tragédia ocorrida no município de Malacacheta, em Minas Gerais, na Fazenda São João da Mata, no ano de 1955. Em abril desse ano, quatro crianças foram assassinadas por um grupo de parceiros convertidos à Igreja Adventista da Promessa, por estarem, segundo acreditavam, possuídas pelo diabo. Em seguida ao fato, por iniciativa conjunta da revista Anhembi, do Instituto Nacional de Estudos Pedagógicos e do Departamento de Sociologia da Faculdade de Filosofia da USP, o sociólogo, a antropóloga Eunice Ribeiro (depois Durham) e a psicóloga Carolina Martuscelli seguiram para o local com o objetivo de explicar o ocorrido, ali permanecendo entre 11 de julho e 8 de agosto. O texto relaciona o fato às mudanças sociais que teriam desestruturado o grupo, dialogando diretamente com a tese Os parceiros do Rio Bonito, defendida por Antonio Candido em 1954.Carlos Castaldi provides a 'dense description' of the tragedy that took place in the municipality of Malacacheta, in Minas Gerais, on the São João da Mata Farm in 1955. In April of that year, four children were murdered by a group of sharecroppers converted to the Adventist Church of the Promise, believing that the children had become possessed by the devil. After the incident, a joint initiative of the magazine Anhembi, the National Institute of Pedagogical Studies and the Department of Sociology of the São Paulo University Faculty of Philosophy led to the visit of a team formed by sociologist Carlos Castaldi, anthropologist Eunice Ribeiro (later Durham) and psychologist Carolina Martuscelli, who stayed at the locale from July 11th to August 8th with the aim of discovering the reasons behind the event. The text relates the incident to the social changes that had led to the destructuring of the group, dialoguing closely with the doctoral thesis The sharecroppers of the Bonito River, completed by Antonio Candido in 1954
Tra esperienza e tradizione. La rappresentazione delle isole nella Relazione di Pigafetta
No full textIl contributo indaga le differenti modalità attraverso cui vennero narrate le isole
nella Relazione di Antonio Pigafetta, navigatore e scrittore che prese parte e
tramandò ai posteri l’impresa guidata da Fernando Magellano nella
circumnavigazione del globo terreste. Il marinaio vicentino, sempre in bilico tra
l’esperienza e la tradizione, nel suo racconto rappresenta le isole in molteplici
forme. Nel resoconto del viaggio le isole occupano sempre un ruolo di primo piano,
assumendo valenza positiva o negativa in virtù degli scopi narrativi perseguiti di
volta in volta dall’autore, mostrando una estrema elasticità simbolica,
ricollegandosi ai più diffusi tòpoi letterali del tempo. L’isola diventa così il luogo
dove vengono proiettate la bramosia e i desideri dei viaggiatori, carica di tutte
quelle «meraviglie» tipiche della letteratura rinascimentale, ma, allo stesso tempo,
può tramutarsi in un luogo infido, aggressivo e mostruoso, così insidioso da
trasformarsi in una trappola mortale per Magellano stesso, caduto per essersi
lasciato attrarre dal potere seduttivo e mortale delle isol
Le dediche di Giovanni Immonide
No full textThe flight from Rome of Formoso, bishop of Porto, on Easter night 876 and his subsequent conviction in the Roman synods are echoed in the dedication of the last two John the Deacon’s works, Vita Gregorii I papae and the rhythmic rewriting of the Cena Cypriani. The contribution reconstructs John Immonide’s figure, his role and his friendships within the cubiculum Lateranense, and analyzes the critical loci of the manuscript tradition of the dedication poem to Pope John VIII, prefacing the hagiographical text, and of the so called Epilogus and Suppositio closing the Cena. The sections analyzed show a tradition variously attested and not univocal, that is evidence of reworking and leads to suspect that the author has reviewed the dedications of his works when he was expelled from the Lateran, falled into disgrace with the pope, and he never reached a final version of them
Tra Pirandello e Judith Butler:Forma e performatività nella narrativa di Marosia Castaldi
No full textThis article sets itself a number of challenges: 1. to make a daring comparison between the notions of identity and subjectivity held by Italian modernist author Luigi Pirandello and contemporary American feminist theorist Judith Butler. 2. to use the insights generated by this unusual yet entirely tenable comparison to interpret the engagement of contemporary author Marosia Castaldi with the postmodern loss of identity. 3. to bring to light some thematic lines across the oeuvre of a writer noted for her highly fragmented and repetitive anti-realist style and impenetrable plots. The article succeeds in bringing together Pirandello’s idea of identity as subjected to such dichotomies as life vs art-forma, flux vs fixity, uniqueness vs multiplicity with Butler’s account of identity and specifically gender identity as performativity. Both underscore identity/subjectivity as repetition and (re)citation, as mimetic acts subject to societal norms, and thus both ask whether and how change can be effected. Applying these problematics to Castaldi turns out to be highly productive. I first identify a question running through her novels: what happens to identity when the individual is subjected to continual change? I then attempt to answer this question by examining her characters’ struggle against the dissolution of identity they experience as consequence of a life marked by cyclical successions of wars, migrations, cyclones, genocides, telluric movements and volcanic explosions. I conclude with looking at how they find ways of filling the identitarian void in the parodic performance of gender and identity
Bacterial Lipodepsipeptides and Some of Their Derivatives and Cyclic Dipeptides as Potential Agents for Biocontrol of Pathogenic Bacteria and Fungi of Agrarian Plants
No full textBiotic stresses (fungi, bacteria, insects, weeds, etc.) are some of the most important causes of the decrease in the quality and quantity of crops that could become an emergency due to a noteworthy increase in the world population. Thus, to overcome these problems, massive use of chemical pesticides has been carried out with heavy consequences for environmental pollution and food safety. An eco-friendly alternative can be using natural compound-based biopesticides with high efficacy and selectivity. Some bacterial lipodepsipeptides (tolaasins I, II, A, D, and E and WLIP together with hexacetyl- and tetrahydro-tolaasin I and WLIP methyl ester) and cyclic dipeptides (cyclo(l-Pro-l-Tyr), cyclo(d-Pro-l-Tyr), cyclo(l-Pro-l-Val), and cyclo(l-Pro-l-Leu)) were assayed against several pathogenic bacteria and fungi of important agrarian plants. Lipodepsipeptides showed strong growth inhibition of all microorganisms tested in the range of 0.1-0.8 μg/mL, while cyclodipeptides, despite preserving this ability, showed a noteworthily reduced antimicrobial activity being active only in the range of 15-900 μg/mL. Among the lipodepsipeptides and cyclic dipeptides assayed, tolaasin d and cyclo(l-Pro-l-Tyr) (also named maculosin-1) appeared to be the most toxic compounds. Some structure-activity relationships of lipodepsipeptides were also discussed along with their practical application as biopesticides in agriculture
