Fantastic Architecture and the Building of Europe in Valerio Evangelisti's Eymerich Fiction
No full textConcomitant with the horizontal expansion of EU territory through physical and political enlargement is a genealogy narrative, which emphasizes the ostensible roots of Europeanness in classical antiquity and Christianity. In the face of this sanitized genealogy, which lies at the heart of the European constitutional project, a range of alternative and more inclusive narratives circulate in contemporary European popular fiction. This paper focuses on a series of fantasy novels by the Italian author Valerio Evangelisti, featuring Inquisitor Eymerich as hero-investigator. In his highly popular novels, Evangelisti seeks to uncover layers of shared historical memory untainted with post-Enlightenment rhetoric.
The central architectural tropes of Evangelisti’s imaginary world are those of a castle and a convent, epitomizing the temporal and sacral power in European history. Each isolated from its outside environment and built on layer upon layer of subterranean chambers and corridors, the castle and the convent conceal a past quite different from the one championed in the official European genealogy. Memories of pagan worship and Islamic or Judaic learning – banished from the official rhetoric – continue to thrive, dark and threatening, in the subterranean strata of Evangelisti’s European edifice. Evangelisti thus provides an incisive critique of the official European story of origin, which threatens to suppress any alternative visions of European history or unorthodox avenues for European identity formation

Hermann Kant. Ein bio- bibliografisches Profil
No full textThe proximity to the power apparatus has cast dark shadows on the literary work of Hermann Kant, who is regarded as one of the most read authors of the GDR. Valerio Furneri embeds Kant's life and work in the all-German context of the 20th century and reinterprets his classics such as Die Aula or Der Aufenthalt. The author does not pursue the claim to rehabilitate the GDR, nor to trivialise Kant's role in it. Instead, the attempt is made to look at Kant's entire work from a temporal distance and to re-evaluate it. Through his works, Kant was able to accompany and depict not only the German-German history, but also European history.Die Nähe zum Machtapparat hat dunkle Schatten auf das literarische Werk von Hermann Kant, der als meistgelesener Schriftsteller der DDR gilt, geworfen. Valerio Furneri bettet Kants Leben und Werk in den gesamtdeutschen Kontext des 20. Jahrhunderts ein und interpretiert vor diesem Hintergrund Klassiker wie Die Aula oder Der Aufenthalt neu. Der Autor verfolgt dabei weder den Anspruch, die DDR zu rehabilitieren, noch Kants Rolle darin kleinzureden. Stattdessen wird der Versuch unternommen, Kants Gesamtwerk aus zeitlicher Distanz zu betrachten und neu zu bewerten. Durch seine Werke gelang es Kant nämlich nicht nur die deutsch-deutsche, sondern auch die europäische Geschichte zu begleiten und abzubilden

CUSPIDI
No full textCuspidi is the new play by Valerio Leoni, winner of the Biennale College Theatre call for Directors under 35 for the two-year period 2022/2023. A Roman director, actor and playwright, born in 1988, Valerio Leoni worked as a director while conducting research into theatre in Poland, Germany, Denmark, Spain and Italy. The founder in 2015 of the Agiteatro company, he is the artistic director, along with Sofia Guidi, of the cultural centre Labirion Officine Trasversali, which he founded in Rome in 2018. It was at Labirion that in 2022 Leoni developed the original idea for Cuspidi.
Selected from a shortlist of six candidates because “his artistic career moves beyond and away from a visually and linguistically realistic trajectory to redirect the investigation by instilling into it an emotional tone that can cast light on, move or freeze the bodies and the plurality of their monologuing voices within a mental landscape imagined by Magritte”, Valerio Leoni creates his play around three characters-emotions: A consisting of Screams (Sofia Guidi) which “contains within it the concepts of discomfort, difficulty of living in the world, expressive confusion”; B consisting of Dust (Sara Giannelli), which “maintains its own gaze turned towards the past, remaining disunited”; C consisting of Boxes (Jacopo Provenzano), which “relies on classification and organization as a weapon to defend itself against the chaos of the world”. Self-standing universes, with their own habitat, substance and rhythm, but forced to share the same space, at the end of the play A B C will emerge from their conditions as islands and re-establish a dialogue
Valerio Onida e l'attuazione del novellato art. 119 Cost. in tema di coordinamento della finanza pubblica. Alcune notazioni
No full textNel contributo si analizza l'evoluzione della giurisprudenza costituzionale in tema di coordinamento della finanza pubblica, con particolare riguardo alle pronunce emesse successivamente all'entrata in vigore del nuovo Titolo V della Parte II della Costituzione. In particolare, s'è sottolineato il contributo dottrinale del Prof. Valerio Onida sul tema e si sono analizzate le pronunce che hanno successivamente accolto l'impostazione dell'Autore, ritenendo ammissibile la fissazione, ad opera dello Stato, di vincoli complessivi alla spesa ragionale. Conclusivamente si sono evidenziati i tratti di discontinuità della giurisprudenza più recente rispetto a dette pronunce, valutandosi le ragioni sostanziali che hanno indotto il mutamento di orientamento
La determinación temporal del enunciado (I) Fundamentación teórica
No full textSe inicia con este una serie de trabajos sobre los determinadores temporales del enunciado que, en plazo breve, irán publicándose en esta misma colección. Aquí se presentan nuestros conceptos de enunciado y de determinación temporal. Concebimos el enunciado como unidad abstracta que integra en un todo el proceso de enunciación y la actualización de un esquema oracional. El enunciado se formaliza en una estructura performativa –implícita o explícita– de tres estratos (el hecho de comunicarse, el acto de decir y el evento comunicado), cada uno de los cuales puede llevar su propia indicación temporal, aunque en la gran mayoría de los casos se relacionan con el estrato performativo correspondiente al evento comunicado. Por otra parte, los determinadores temporales del enunciado están en correspondencia con los tiempos y aspectos verbales expresados en la estructura performada.This is the first of a series of working papers on the temporal determination of utterances that will be published in this journal in the near future. New concepts of utterance and temporal determination will be introduced in the present article. The utterance itself is conceived as a whole unit in which the process of enunciation and the actualization of a sentential scheme are integrated. The utterance is formalized in a performative structure which could itself be implicit or explicit. The aforementioned structure comprises three levels: the communicative event, the act of saying something and the communicated event. Each of these levels can have its own temporal reference, even though most of them are related to the performative one regarding the communicated event. It must also be considered that the temporal determiners of the utterance are related both to the verbal tenses and the verbal aspect expressed in the performed structure
