Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Cappuccetto Rosso: Una fiaba vera
No full textLa fiaba di Cappuccetto Rosso è tra le più note nella fiabistica mondiale. Sul piano della letteratura ha prodotto innumerevoli varianti in ogni continente e in tutti i tempi: dalla versione di Charles Perrault, in cui un’ingenua bambina viene uccisa da un lupo, a quella postmoderna di Angela Carter, in cui una seduttiva adolescente acconsente volontariamente a un amplesso con il lupo. Ma Cappuccetto Rosso ha dato anche origine a molteplici interpretazioni sin dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento, quando a interessarsene furono la scuola tedesca di mitologia comparata e la scuola inglese di antropologia rituale. Questo volume presenta per la prima volta in traduzione italiana alcuni degli interventi migliori su Cappuccetto Rosso pubblicati a partire dal 1914, e tra essi la descrizione di un episodio di cronaca nera del Settecento, quando un’adolescente vestita di rosso venne trovata morta nelle campagne francesi. Antropologia, psicoanalisi, storia della lettura e narratologia sono gli ambiti discplinari coinvolti nella rilettura di una fiaba tanto suggestiva quanto misteriosa, truce e cannibalica
Imparare le lingue per abbracciare il mondo
No full textL’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today

No full textTra musica e diritto: il Museum historico-legale bipartitum del canonista calabrese Carlo Pellegrino
No full textCome il diritto, la musica costituisce una disciplina “ermeneutica”: l’interprete musicale parte dai grafemi componenti la partitura, razionalmente ordinati dal compositore, per ricostruire, attraverso un processo ermeneutico, il significato del testo, risolvendo complessi problemi “interpretativi” riferiti al prodotto eseguito che potrà risultare convincente o banale. Il legal process e le performing arts registrano, pertanto, degli importanti elementi comuni: come il primo è caratterizzato dal rapporto tra “creatori” del diritto, istituzioni che lo interpretano ed applicano e soggetti direttamente o indirettamente coinvolti da tali attività, così le seconde si connotano per la relazione intercorrente tra compositore, esecutore e pubblico. Poiché l’interpretazione musicale, differentemente da quella giuridica, ha una genesi più recente formandosi nella cultura europea del XIX secolo, risulta evidente l’originalità di Carlo Pellegrino, canonista calabrese che nel 1665 pubblica a Roma l’opera dal singolare titolo Museum historico-legale bipartitum in cui, mediante uno stile ed un’impostazione che affondano nel pragmatismo giuridico tipico di quel secolo le loro radici, ricerca ed evidenzia opportunamente i legami che ritiene esistano fra musica e diritto, componendo un valido strumento di chiara connotazione giuridica per chi desideri conoscere e studiare l’arte delle musica

Reclamações ambientais em Aveiro, Portugal: atores, preocupações, padrão territorial e resoluções
No full textThis paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental
issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between
2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning
and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces
the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental
grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by
local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental
quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of
the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case
study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth
section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal
evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems
and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This
information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental
quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance
in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n. E05M053040B
Transport Processes in Porous Media by Self-Potential Method
No full textA controlled diffusion/infiltration column experimental activity was carried out with the aim of monitoring the leakage of a salty water plume by time-lapse self-potential (SP) measurements. In particular, three tracer tests with different NaCl concentrations (6.00, 1.00, and 0.25 g L−1) were performed and all the measured SP signals showed a sharp reduction corresponding to the arrival of saline front with negative electrical potential values (−78.99±3.24 mV, −54.52±2.28 mV, and −24.12±1.21 mV) which decrease with increasing volume of tracer introduced into the column. Then, measured self-potential values were converted into salt concentration ones by the Planck-Henderson equation and sand diffusion (D) and longitudinal dispersivity (αL) values were estimated by modelling the transport equations in the COMSOL Multiphysics environment. Finally, the results show that measured and estimated NaCl concentrations are well correlated
Spatial inequalities and international cooperation projects: a bottom-up wellbeing model for inclusion
No full textIn international cooperation projects it is possible to recognise many of the challenges regarding spatial inequalities visible in the rest of Europe. Certainly, the scale changes, because these are often conditions far below the European minimum subsistence levels, confronting a different idea of wellbeing, on which to intervene with transformation proposals. In any case, these are significant challenges because while cultivating ‘a south-west gaze’, it is important not to shy away from a commitment to what can be done in favour of the most fragile areas. In this context, the chapter gives an account of the international cooperation project ‘Re-generation Al Zaytoun’ developed for the hybrid neighbourhood of Cairo in which the youngest (children and young people) and religious minorities were involved. The project opportunity was propitious to define guidelines to ensure a higher level of wellbeing within a bottom-up and inclusive process. What is claimed overall is that the case outlined a practice of intervention that can also be replicated in other contexts of international cooperation, useful to hold together the physical regeneration of a semiinformal area with the enhancement of wellbeing and the contextual fight against spatial inequalities
