"La materia quando inizia a soffrire": Denial Figures in Guido Morselli's Work
No full textopenIl presente lavoro si propone di indagare la questione della crisi del soggetto così come discussa dall'autore italiano Guido Morselli, nelle diverse sedi dei romanzi, della produzione saggistica e del diario personale. Da qui si analizzeranno temi quali il solipsismo e gli interrogativi esistenziali, fin dai loro primi riverberi nella filosofia centro-europea di fine Ottocento, inizio Novecento.The present work aims yo investigate the issue of the crisis of the subject, as it is discussed by the Italian author Guido Morselli, on his novels, essays and personal diary. We will also analyze topics such as solipsism and existential questions from their first reverberations on the late eighteen century and early nineteen century middle European philosophy
Robotic hybrid technique in rectal surgery for deep pelvic endometriosis
No full textBackground. Deep pelvic endometriosis is a complex disorder that affects 6% to 12% of all women in childbearing age. The incidence of bowel endometriosis ranges between 5.3% and 12%, with rectum and sigma being the most frequently involved tracts, accounting for about 80% of cases. It has been reported that segmental colorectal resection is the best surgical option in terms of recurrence rate and improvement of symptoms. The aim of this study is to analyze indications, feasibility, limits, and short-term results of robotic (Da Vinci Surgical System)-assisted laparoscopic rectal sigmoidectomy for the treatment of deep pelvic endometriosis. Patients and Methods. Between January 2006 and December 2010, 19 women with bowel endometriosis underwent colorectal resection through the robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach. Intraoperative and postoperative data were collected. All procedures were performed in a single center and short-term complications were evaluated. Results. Nineteen robotic-assisted laparoscopic colorectal resections for infiltrating endometriosis were achieved. Additional procedures were performed in 7 patients (37%). No laparotomic conversion was performed. No intraoperative complications were observed. The mean operative time was 370 minutes (range = 250-720 minutes), and the estimated blood loss was 250 mL (range = 50-350 mL). The overall complication rate was 10% (2 rectovaginal fistulae). Conclusions. Deep pelvic endometriosis is a benign condition but may have substantial impact on quality of life due to severe pelvic symptoms. We believe that robotic-assisted laparoscopic colorectal resection is a feasible and relatively safe procedure in the context of close collaboration between gynecologists and surgeons for treatment of deep pelvic endometriosis with intestinal involvement, with low rates of complications and significant improvement of intestinal symptoms
Primary non-Hodgkin's breast lymphoma: surgical approach.
No full textWe report the case of a 38-year old woman affected by primary lymphoma of the right breast, with disease progression after chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy, successfully treated with a modified radical mastectomy. The literature of primary breast lymphomas has been reviewed and discussed in relation to our case. Our experience stresses the importance of a radical surgical
approach in a locally advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast unresponsive to radio and chemotherapy
"Sailing around the World (1857-1859). Colonial Patterns, Native Societies, Global Resources in the Circumnavigation of the Austrian Frigate Novara"
No full textThis essay by Guido Abbattista analyzes the Austrian frigate Novara’s circumnavigation (1857–1859) as a paradigmatic case of nineteenth-century global exploration, set within the broader context of European imperial expansion and scientific ambition. Abbattista demonstrates how the Novara expedition, Austria’s first global voyage, was not only a naval and scientific enterprise but also a vehicle for projecting imperial prestige, asserting national identity, and gathering knowledge about colonial patterns, native societies, and global resources. Drawing on official reports, scientific publications, and ethnographic collections, the essay situates the Novara alongside other Austrian and European voyages, highlighting its role in consolidating Austria’s place on the world stage. The author explores the ideological underpinnings of the mission, especially as articulated by Karl von Scherzer, who framed the journey in terms of Eurocentric progress, racial hierarchies, and the civilizing mission of Europe—particularly the “Anglo-Saxon” model. The essay critically examines how the Novara’s documentation and collections contributed to museums and scientific institutions, while also reflecting the contradictions and exclusions of imperialist worldviews. Ultimately, Abbattista argues that the Novara expedition exemplifies the entanglement of science, empire, and global modernity, offering insight into the construction of “global Europeanness” and the enduring legacies of colonial encounters

Missa luba : new edition and conductor's analysis
No full text"Since 1964 and the first printed edition of Missa Luba by Guido Haazen, this work has been performed countless numbers of times all over the world. Missa Luba continues to have a large number of performances each year, despite the fact that there is very little research available, and the only published edition is wholly insufficient in producing an authentic performance. To date, the following has not been published in any known academic publications: 1) a biography of Guido Haazen, 2) research into the first choir to sing Missa Luba, 3) a detailed explanation of the collective improvisational nature of the work, and 4) a comparison of the folk melodies used as models to the corresponding sections of each Mass movement. The purpose of this document is to provide a new edition of Missa Luba and an analysis of the work useful to a conductor. The reasons why a new edition is needed and what changes are made to the existing edition will be discussed, along with an analysis, which will cover the work's historical background, structure, and performance practice concerns. The document will incorporate recent research into this subject, especially that of interviews with Guido Haazen prior to his death in 2004, and a more accurate transcription of the original 1958 recording. Also, significant to this project is a description of the ethnic instruments used in the original performances of Missa Luba and suitable modern substitutions. Research conducted at the Central Africa Museum in Tervuren, Belgium will be primary in this discussion. The result of this document will be a new edition of Missa Luba, more accurately reflective of the 1958 recording and early performances, and will provide much needed research into its creation, structure, and performance.

Diventare bolognese. L’ebreo converso Ippolito Boncompagni e i suoi legami con Guido Reni, Guido Signorini e Domenichino
No full textBecoming Bolognese: The Converted Jew Ippolito Boncompagni and his
Relationship
with Guido Reni, Guido Signorini and Domenichino
The essay moves from an introduction on Guido Reni’s friendship with the converted
Jew Ippolito Boncompagni, formerly Ruben Corcos, and presents the story
of the conversion of the four Corcos brothers (all of whom were baptized as
Catholics
in 1592 and took the name Boncompagni) as the backdrop to a discussion
of the Boncompagni collection of paintings inventoried in 1657. This
collection featured a remarkable number of Bolognese and Emilian works by
painters such as Reni, Guercino, Domenichino, Lanfranco, Albani, Sementi.
Through an analysis of the documents, it is established that a substantial number
of the works were owned by Ippolito, and the identification of some of them is
attempted. The study then focuses on Reni’s cousin and heir, the painter Guido
Signorini, bringing to light hitherto unpublished documents and new information
on the friendship between Signorini and Ippolito, and providing a close
reading of archival material concerning Reni’s will, inventory and Signorini’s
inheritance. The final section focuses on Ippolito and Domenichino. Archival
documents show that Ippolito
was financially involved not only with Guido
Reni, but also with Domenichino,
possibly as early as 1621–1623, and – after the
painter’s death in 1641 – with his widow. The Boncompagni owned two paintings
by Domenichino, one of which is an unknown Rebuke of Adam and Eve.
Expanding
on Richard Spear’s insights into the unusual iconography of another
version of the Rebuke by Domenichino
now in the Museum of Grenoble, the
author hypothesizes that these anomalies could reflect the Corcos’ Jewish background.
Finally, the study presents an interpretation of Boncompagni artistic
patronage
and collecting as instruments of self-representation, as well as means
to gain and consolidate social acceptanc
