    To avoid escalations to full kinetic (military) wars is imperative to win the non-kinetic part of the so-called “hybrid warfare”, which use both kinetic and non-kinetic methods. The goal of the non-kinetic methods of hybrid warfare, or as others call it “grey zone” activities, or “subthreshold” tactics, is to defeat hearts and minds, as well as pockets, of adversaries, with social, political, and economic tools. This article focuses on energy as the crucial sector of the economic tools, and specifically uses an innovative approach, what the author calls the ‘energy-resources-climate security nexus’, as a new battleground for future strategic competition and hybrid warfare between Europe, Russia and other rivals. Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine Putin engaged Europe with non-military hybrid warfare. The hybrid warfare tactics employed by Russia especially in the energy sector have posed challenges the EU and NATO, who were unprepared but two organizations showed resilience and adaptation, starting to fight back. The problem is not only the Western dependence on Russian energy but also how the green transition pushed by climate change, that could be exploited with hybrid warfare. In the future is important to increase NATO-EU cooperation to fight other rivals too, like China, that could use new hybrid threats, especially because of the energy transition

    No full text
    Il contributo prende in esame le modalità con le quali Prospero Bonarelli (1588-1659) diedi inizio alla sua carriera letteraria e teatrale mettendo a frutto il prestigio derivante dalla fama di suo fratello Guidubaldo (1563-1608), autore della celebre favola pastorale Filli di Sciro. Come attraversamento tematico di carattere preliminare, l’articolo si apre prendendo in esame le modalità con le quali Prospero tematizza la continuità tra la sua produzione letteraria e quella del fratello nel suo epistolario e in due testi in particolare: l’Introduzione Alle Opere di Guidubaldo da lui stesso curate e nella supplica a Ferdinando II, il cui testo è pubblicato in appendice. Nelle restanti pagine il saggio si articola in tre parti. Nella prima parte l’autore ricostruisce le vicende della famiglia Bonarelli tra il 1575 e il 1655; nella seconda parte analizza come Prospero amministrò l’eredità letteraria del fratello, tra le scene e la tipografia, in un periodo compreso tra il 1608, data di morte di Guidubaldo, e il 1612; nella parte conclusiva si sofferma sulle modalità con le quali Prospero mise a frutto la rete di contatti ereditata dal fratello in occasione del suo esordio in veste di autore teatrale con il Solimano.The essay provides an analysis of how Prospero Bonarelli (1588-1659) started his literary and theatrical career taking advantage of the fame of his brother Guidubaldo (1563-1608), author of the famous pastoral play Filli di Sciro. As an introduction to such an argument the essay studies how Prospero represented his relationship with the “heritage” of his brother in his letters and in two different texts: the Introduction to the edition of Guidubaldo’s Works he edited and a petition to the Duke of Tuscany Ferdinando II, a document which is here published as an appendix. The rest of the essay is divided into three parts. In the first part the author provides a reconstruction of the history of Bonarelli’s family in the years from 1575 to 1655; in the second part he studies how Prospero managed, both metaphorically and practically, the heritage of manuscripts and fame his brother provided him from 1608 (the year of Guidubaldo’s death) to 1612; in the third and last part he shows how Prospero used the network of friends and patrons “inherited” by his brother in order to promote his first theatrical work, the tragedy Solimano

    Dalla letteratura alla storia. L’edizione di Percy S. Allen dell’Opus epistolarum Desideri Erasmi Roterodami

    ABSTRACT This article aims to discuss the ecdotic choices and the impact of Percys S. Allen’s scholar edition of the complete letters by Erasmus (1906-1958), a seminal enterprise in the field of Renaissance studies. The Opus epistolarum (named after the most important book of letters published by Erasmus himself in 1529) was conceived as the definitive edition of all the letters written by, and sent to, the Dutch humanist. That goal implied a radical change in the arrangements followed by previous editors and the choice of mixing the letters published during Erasmus’ lifetime with those unpublished, taken from different sources (manuscripts and later editions). Allen’s edition is indeed based on the assumption that Erasmus’ letters should be considered not as pieces of literature but «recognised as one of the best sources for the history of his age». Such an idea inspired the commentary to the letters, the core of the edition itself and the starting point for a new and deeper study of Erasmus’ life and work that eventually made the enterprise of the ASD possible. Such an attitude towards this epistolary corpus, thought, could run the risk of underestimating the impact on Erasmus’ own rework of the letters he published, leading to a simplistic use of them as source of information. In the last part of the essay, the author discusses the case of Petrarch’s letters, with a comparison between the Opus epistolarum and Vittorio Rossi’s edition of the Familiares

    A colloquio con Luciano di Samosata: Leon Battista Alberti, Giovanni Pontano ed Erasmo da Rotterdam

    No full text
    Il volume studia le modalita' con le quali tre grandi scrittori, appartenenti a momenti diversi nella storia dell’Umanesimo, hanno assimilato il corpus lucianeo e se ne sono serviti nelle loro opere. A differenza delle monografie sull’influsso di Luciano in occidente di Christopher Robinson, Enrico Mattioli, Christiane Lauvergnat-Gagnière e David Marsh, strutturate a partire dai temi e basate su una veloce ricognizione su un numero elevato di testi, il volume si concentra su un numero limitato di autori, le opere dei quali sono caratterizzate da una forte carica sperimentale e da una raffinata contaminazione tra diversi modelli. Il volume, dopo una preliminare ricognizione sulle caratteristiche del corpus lucianeo e una breve trattazione sulla ricezione di Luciano presso gli umanisti, si articola in tre capitoli dedicati a Leon Battista Alberti, Giovanni Pontano ed Erasmo da Rotterdam. L’analisi della presenza di Luciano viene condotta attraverso una ricostruzione del contesto nel quale avviene la ripresa tematica o l’allusione, con l’intento di delineare le diverse modalita' attraverso le quali ciascun autore interpreta, risematizza, “smembra” e riscrive Luciano. Ogni capitolo si apre con una ricognizione nelle pagine che ciascun autore ha dedicato a Luciano, quindi, prima di passare a discutere i singoli fenomeni intertestuali, ripercorre la storia e la struttura delle opere di volta in volta prese in esame (le “Intercenales”, il “Momus”, il “Charon”, i “Colloquia” e il “Morae encomium”). Dall’analisi di opere tanto diverse emergono alcune costanti che rappresentano le caratteristiche del lucianesimo quattrocentesco: in tutti e tre gli scrittori, infatti, l’incontro con Luciano è l’occasione per innovare i generi di volta in volta affrontati, attraverso l'adozione del registro serio-comico. Tanto per Alberti quanto per Pontano ed Erasmo, Luciano non e' un modello unico, imitato pedissequamente, ma catalizza piuttosto un’aemulatio che avviene su più livelli, contaminando più autori. Il corpus lucianeo, dunque, in virtù della sua straordinaria varietà, rappresenta, oltre ad un tesoro di suggestioni, personaggi e notizie erudite, anche uno stimolo per sperimentare una prassi imitativa che vada oltre un canone troppo rigidamente classico ed aureo.The book studies how three great writers, belonging to different moments in the history of humanism, have assimilated the works of Lucian and used them in their works. The book, after a preliminary survey on the characteristics of the corpus lucianeo and a brief discussion on the receipt of Luciano among the humanists, is divided into three chapters devoted to Leon Battista Alberti, Giovanni Pontano and Erasmus of Rotterdam. The analysis of the presence of Lucian is conducted through a reconstruction of the context in which lucianic theme or allusion occurs, with the intent to outline the different waw in which each author rewrites Luciano

    L'abolizionismo nel cerchio del diritto. Una prospettiva essenzialista

    No full text
    Attraverso suggestioni letterarie e argomenti di tipo normativo, il saggio intende sviluppare una semantica dell’abolizionismo di tipo essenzialmente giuridico e suggerire, al contempo, una visione “totalizzante” della prospettiva abolizionista, tale per cui l’atto dell’abolizione nel diritto dovrebbe sempre intendersi riferito e portato verso un intero sistema, un corpo di leggi, una pratica giuridica consolidata piuttosto che a una qualche norma o istituto particolari. Da questo punto di vista, l’autore intende giustapporre all’abolizionismo della sola pena di morte il cosiddetto “abolizionismo penale radicale” e avanzare, con ciò, un superamento della logica della pena nel discorso giuridico moderno.Through literary suggestions and normative arguments, the essay intends to develop an essentially legal semantics of abolitionism and at the same time suggest a “totalizing” vision of the abolitionist perspective, such that the act of abolition in law should always to be understood as referring to an entire system, a body of laws, a consolidated legal practice rather than to some particular norm or insitution. From this point of view, the author intends to juxtapose the so-called ‘radical criminale abolitionism’ to the classic abolition of the death penalty alone and thereby advance an overcoming of the logic of punishment in modern legal discourse
