"Una bestemmia contro il Verbo". Gottfried Benn sacerdote senza religione nella lettura di Mario Pensa
No full textIl libro del germanista Mario Pensa su Benn si distingue nella storia della ricezione italiana per l'applicazione di un paradigma interpretativo condizionato da elementi imagologici, basato cioè sulla tradizionale rappresentazione di una presunta identità tedesca nel segno della confidenza con l'abisso e della spinta faustiana al superamento del limite
Integración de mercados financieros regionales: aprender de la experiencia europea
No full text(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) El llamado modelo europeo de integración de mercados ha venido evolucionando a lo largo de muchas décadas. En particular, el plan original de integrar económicamente a Europa por la vía de un programa progresivo de harmonización de legislaciones nacionales, especialmente en el campo de los mercados financieros, ha cedido a una alternativa radical basada en el reconocimiento mutuo de los estados miembros de la legislación y la normativa nacional en vigor. Dado que ese cambio se puso en marcha más que nada por motivos pragmáticos, el enfoque de reconocimiento mutuo ha adquirido desde entonces una dimensión ideológica y estratégica en las negociaciones políticas que le confiere aún más importancia al estudio de sus repercusiones en el terreno.

The 1999 Quadrantids and the lunar Na atmosphere
No full textEnhancements of the Na emission and temperature from the lunar atmosphere were reported during the Leonid meteor showers of 1995, 1997 and 1998. Here we report a search for similar enhancement during the 1999 Quadrantids, which have the highest mass flux of any of the major streams. No enhancements were detected. We suggest that different chemical-physical properties of the Leonid and Quadrantid streams may be responsible for the difference

beta-barrel membrane bacterial proteins: structure, function, assembly and interaction with lipids
No full textMembrane proteins, although constituting about one-third of all proteins encoded by the genomes of living organisms, are still strongly underrepresented in the database of 3D protein structures, which reflects the big challenge posed by this class of proteins. Novel and fundamental insights into the structure, function, assembly and interaction with lipids of membrane proteins are continuously revealed by structural biologists employing electron and x-ray approaches. To date, two structural motifs, -helices and -sheets, have been found in membrane proteins and interestingly these two structural motives correlate with the location: while -helical bundles are most often found in the receptors and ion channels of plasma and endoplasmic reticulum membranes, -barrels are restricted to the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, the mitochondrial membrane and chloroplasts and represent the structural motif used by several microbial toxins to form cytotoxic transmembrane channels. The -barrel, while being a rigid and stable motif is a versatile scaffold, having a wide variation in the size of the barrel, in the mechanism to open or close the gate and to impose selectivity on substrates. The difficulty in obtaining crystals suitable for high-resolution studies of outer membrane proteins has resulted in their under-representation in the Protein data Bank [1]. Even if the number of x-ray structures of integral membrane proteins has greatly increased in recent years, only a few of them provide information at a molecular level on how proteins interact with lipids that surround them in the membrane. The detailed mechanism of protein lipid interactions is of fundamental importance for understanding membrane protein folding, membrane adsorption, insertion and function in lipid bilayers. Both specific and aspecific interactions with lipids may participate in protein folding and assembly
Distorsioni cerebrali. "Ithaka" di Gottfried Benn come esperimento drammatico
No full textStarting from the discussion of the premiere of "Ithaka" (Landestheater Darmstadt 1967) and its context, the paper contends that the piece, written by Gottfried Benn half a century earlier, cannot be merely read as an essayistic dialogue about scientific debates of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as an autobiographic showdown behind the mask of Dr. Rönne or even as a sombre anticipation of Nazism. In fact, a close reading of the text and its multi-layered, masterly dramatic construction shows the avant-gardist openness of "Ithaka", which can be considered as a theatrical experiment: the author tests on fictitious characters affected by ‘cerebral distortions’, reflecting disparate tendencies of the fin-de-siècle epistemology and philosophy, and observes the consequences of such a collision up to its tragic ending

Versuch einer ästhetischen Wertsetzung: zur Kunsttheorie von Benn und Nietzsche
No full textThe German expressionist poet Gottfried Benn (1886-1956), a great admirer of the philosopher, psychologist, poet, anti-Christ and art theoretician Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), quoted and commented on the works of the latter from 1926 until his death. Benn’s references to Nietzsche range from the mere mention of the name in some works to entire poems (c.f. “Sils Maria”), essays, and lectures on Nietzsche (c.f. “Nietzsche – nach fünfzig Jahren”). Benn made no secret of his hero-worship for Nietzsche and considered himself the latter’s heir as far as his theory of art was concerned. Three key ideas on art, which Benn took over from Nietzsche and quoted, elaborated, and commented upon are: the idea that the world and existence are justifiable only as esthetic phenomena, the idea of art as the “Olymp des Scheins”, and the idea of art as the actual task of man, as his metaphysical activity. In my thesis I have attempted to show that in spite of Benn’s great admiration of Nietzsche as art theoretician, in spite of the fact that Benn used Nietzsche’s art vocabulary and took over quotations from his works almost verbatim, in spite of the fact that both Benn and Nietzsche saw in art the salvation for man in the midst of the European nihilism, Benn misunderstood Nietzsche’s basic message. I have explained that Benn and Nietzsche looked upon nihilism from two divergent points of view. Nietzsche concerned himself with giving the old “absolute” values, which were in their death-throes, the coup de grace and tried to establish in his Übermensch” ideal, an ideal which man is not meant to ever attain, but must continuously strive for, a new set of values, a new “metaphysics”, one not of the supernatural world, but of the natural world, different from the metaphysics of the Christian-Platonic tradition in that it looked upon man as a unity, a polarity of the material and the non-material and sought to bring them in harmony not through the violence of the extermination of the passions and the drives, but rather through their sublimation. For Nietzsche, nihilism was a brief temporary stage in the history of ideas, the natural and necessary conclusion of the old absolute values, an end the seed of which the old values had borne in themselves from their very inception, since they were based upon a denial of and violence against nature. Nietzsche’s attitude was a dynamic, revolutionary and creative one, and he saw at the center of his new valuation, as an enticement to life, as that which leads man to an affirmation of the totality of life – its pain and sorrow as well as its joys. For Benn, on the other hand, who saw in Nietzsche not a positor of new values, but a destroyer of the old ones, a materialist and a disciple of Darwin, nihilism was insurmountable and here to stay. His attitude was a heroic nihilism – one of resignation, a static, quietistic attitude. As a result of man’s progressive cerebration and his subsequent loss of a genuine relationship to nature, the material and the non-material aspects of man, life and intellect were considered by Benn to constitute an irreconcilable antimony. As a result he also considered art and life as two separate spheres and saw art as an escape, as the artist’s search for his identity. From this point of view Benn developed his theory of absolute art, of art for the sake of art, of art as form. I have attempted to show that Benn’s misunderstanding of Nietzsche on the subject of art – not notwithstanding the similarity or the vocabulary employed by the two authors – stems from his misunderstanding of Nietzsche as a philosopher, from the fact that Benn overlooked certain aspects of the writings of Nietzsche in favor of other aspects. By Benn’s own admission, his favorite book on Nietzsche was Ernst Bertram’s “Nietzsche: Attempt at a Mythology” (1918). I have examined this book, under whose spell Benn had fallen, and have found that Bertram, a member of the George-Kreis, the members of which used the Nietzsche of the Nietzsche “Legend” to their own ends, made no claim to either historical or philosophical accuracy, indeed that he overlooked Nietzsche’s philosophy completely, that his goal was to perpetuate the Nietzsche “cult” of the Kreis. For Bertram Nietzsche was not a philosopher, but a mystic and a saint. It is well-known that Nietzsche’s vocabulary lends itself especially well to misinterpretations of all sorts, intentional as well as unintentional. One need only think of what the Nazis were able to do with the“blond beast”and the “superman”, words taken out of context and used as slogans to fit a given ideology. The first scientific work which dealt seriously with Nietzsche as a philosopher was that by Jaspers in 1936, in which a brief half-page is devoted to art. The other scientific works on Nietzsche as a philosopher have appeared only much more recently
