Il Paradiso di Leonardo. Politica, astrologia e teatro
No full textOn January 13th 1490, Leonardo was commissioned by the Duke Ludovico Sforza to organize in Milan a majestic spectacle, called ‘Festa del Paradiso’, for the wedding of Gian Galeazzo Sforza with Isabella d’Aragona. The Florentine poet Bernardo Bellicnioni was the author of the dialogues of the play. In the ‘Sala Verde’ of the Ducal Palace, Leonardo elaborated a ‘Paradise’ reproducing the motion of the seven planets orbiting round and hosting the seven gods of Olympus, who came to earth to pay homage to the new duchess. Leonardo chose the mythological, astrological, and encomiastic subject for creating unprecedented mechanical
scenery. This article will explore models and heritage of Leonardo’s theatrical ingegno, which inaugurated a new genre of theatrical entertainment and engineering invention for the wonder of the Sforza’s court and its foreign illustrious guests
I mestieri di Orfeo. Memoria, Politica e Teatro nel primo Rinascimento
No full textAgli esordi del Rinascimento italiano una schiera indefinita e varia di attori, poeti e musici rinnova l’antica pratica del cantare ad lyram del mitico poeta Orfeo. Il potere misterioso e terapeutico del suo canto, la sua performance e le tensioni tramandate dal mito si ricompongono in nuovi gesti, suoni e figure attraverso le apparizioni dei “nuovi Orfei” e il definirsi di nuovi valori e mestieri negli spazi civici e privati della performance: tra memoria, politica e teatro. Un teatro che, fondato su un gesto rituale, si afferma come teatro della e per la polis, veicolo privilegiato di comunicazione etica e politica e di costruzione di identità, carisma e consenso nella memoria collettiva

Leonardo 500. The Theater of the Human Body.
No full textThe early modern theatrical body performatively exchanged the imaginary and the real. The human body was not merely a physical object, but also a site of scrutiny, redefinition, and symbolic representation. Leonardo da Vinci’s investigations of every aspect of the human being embodied and completely transcend the complexity of this process of dynamic exchange between arts and sciences.
This exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) and draws upon the Wangensteen Historical Library’s strong holdings in the history of anatomy by examining the interplay between anatomy, art, theater, poetry, and sciences. The exhibit is the result of an initial investigation into the majestic opera of Da Vinci and through the Wangensteen’s collection and shows a selection of these plates – in chronological order – placing them in dialogue with da Vinci’s models and legacy, by organizing examples of anatomical, artistic, and poetical works in eight thematic sections through a temporal path from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centur

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
