Matilde Serao in Sweden. A Voice of "The New Italy"
No full textThis chapter examines the contemporary reception of Matilde Serao's works in Swedish newspapers from 1885 to the first years of the twentieth century. This analysis provides a historical background for understanding why Serao's masterpiece Il paese di cuccagna (1891) was translated in Swedish as early as 1892. In fact, Serao was already known to the Swedish public through the activity of C.D. af Wirsén, an important conservative critic who reviewed her original work and contributed to establishing Serao's reputation as a major contemporary author. Furthermore, examination of recently digitalized Swedish newspapers shows that Serao's short stories were published on at least twenty occasions from 1888 to 1897. These anonymous translations can be attributed with a high degree of probability to the pen of Ellen Lundberg-Nyblom, the translator of Il paese di cuccagna. Swedish reviewers greeted Serao as a master of vivid description and an insightful painter of human passions. At the same time, the fact that Serao, being a woman, was professionally active as a journalist and a newspaper editor attracted attention of Swedish media, transforming the Neapolitan author into a public figure known to a broader audience.Ce chapitre traite de la réception des œuvres de Matilde Serao dans les journaux suédois, de 1885 aux premières années du xxe siècle. Avant la traduction de son chef-d’œuvre Il paese di Cuccagna (1891) dès 1892, Serao était déjà connue en Suède grâce au critique C.D. af Wirsén, qui l’a présentée comme une autrice contemporaine de premier plan. Les traductions anonymes des nouvelles de Serao, publiées entre 1888 et 1897 et attribuées ici à Ellen Lundberg-Nyblom, ont joué un rôle tout aussi important.</p
Humanities in the undergraduate medical and midwifery curriculum:a descriptive Italian comparative study
No full textBACKGROUNDː There is an increasing emphasis on humanized care in obstetric and midwifery practice. The goal of
this paper is to investigate if and how medical humanities content was present in the undergraduate medical syllabus and
how similar or different this is from the undergraduate midwifery program in Italy.
METHODSː A review of the 2017-18 curriculum for Italian Schools of Medicine and of Midwifery was carried out
through institutional websites or mailing requests. The following details were collected for each program: the type of
humanities content; the academic credits allocated, whether it was taught as a stand-alone (independent) topic or not, and
the year(s) of the program when it was provided.
RESULTSː Programs were included for 39 Schools of Medicine and 36 Schools of Midwifery. All midwifery schools
included at least one subject with humanities content. Five medical schools (12.9) did not appear to have any subjects
in this area. Psychology and ethics/bioethics were the most frequently found topics in both disciplines, but, apart from
history of medicine, midwifery was much more likely than medicine to include other humanities topics, and especially
pedagogy, anthropology, sociology and communication studies, philosophy and cross-cultural studies were rarely or
never included in either discipline.
CONCLUSIONSː A greater breadth of humanities studies was included in midwifery schools. However, their relative
importance appears to be low, given the low level of academic credits and lack of presence as independent subjects.

Matilde Espinosa o la Metáfora de la Poesía
No full textThe work written by the Colombian poet Matilde Espinosa de Pérez de serves to be
known and recognized by the literary review, so according to this, the article below is a study
about two of her last works: The dark land and The town gets into dark. This paper analyses the
poetic conception of the female author, the a esthetic connection of her work with her passing
within everyday life as a mother, woman and female writer and, the standing she considers
among pain, life and death as elements that constitutes her poetic ar
Yoroppa, tokuni Itaria ni okeru Encho no juyo ni tsuite
No full textThe essay analyzes the reception of San'yutei Encho, in Europe and in Italy, starting from the fundamental role of Lafcadio Hearn to the most recent translation in Italian, "The Peony Lantern", of the author of the essay. After the stages of presentation of Encho in Europe, the author of the essay points out that in the case of Italy, the contemporary Italian ghosts literature prepared a fertile ground to receive Encho in Italy
Mori Ogai. Il romanticismo e l'effimero. La trilogia tedesca
No full text"Il romanticismo e l’effimero" raccoglie e commenta, con un approccio originale, i primi tre racconti dello scrittore Mori ?gai, conosciuti nell’insieme come “trilogia tedesca”, mettendo in evidenza come l’autore abbia unito il tema romantico europeo con l’estetica dell’effimero giapponese. "Romanticism and the ephemeral" gathers and comments, with an original approach, the first three stories of the author Mori ?gai, known as "German trilogy", highlighting how the author has joined the European romantic theme with the Japanese aesthetics of ephemerality

In every country ghost stories show different aspects and characteristics. The religion and several aspects of a culture influence the relationship between every day life and the realm of the dead. In this paper the author analyse the differences between the some aspetcs of japanese ghost novel and italian ghost novel, in particular the Napoli's modern literature repartory
Wagei no honyaku: yomareru tekisuto to enjirareru tekisuto (La traduzione delle arti declamatorie: tra testo letto e testo recitato)
No full textOne of the most important purposes of translation of literature is the introduction and presentation of a work of art in a different country. Every literature repartory - theater, novel, poetry - shows different problems and challenges when they are translated. In this article the author analyse the elements that the translator has to consider in translation of a theater text, and in particular in translation of oral performances and storyteller's performances
Feynman motives
No full textThis book presents recent and ongoing research work aimed at understanding the mysterious relation between the computations of Feynman integrals in perturbative quantum field theory and the theory of motives of algebraic varieties and their periods. One of the main questions in the field is understanding when the residues of Feynman integrals in perturbative quantum field theory evaluate to periods of mixed Tate motives. The question originates from the occurrence of multiple zeta values in Feynman integrals calculations observed by Broadhurst and Kreimer.
Two different approaches to the subject are described. The first, a “bottom-up” approach, constructs explicit algebraic varieties and periods from Feynman graphs and parametric Feynman integrals. This approach, which grew out of work of Bloch–Esnault–Kreimer and was more recently developed in joint work of Paolo Aluffi and the author, leads to algebro-geometric and motivic versions of the Feynman rules of quantum field theory and concentrates on explicit constructions of motives and classes in the Grothendieck ring of varieties associated to Feynman integrals. While the varieties obtained in this way can be arbitrarily complicated as motives, the part of the cohomology that is involved in the Feynman integral computation might still be of the special mixed Tate kind. A second, “top-down” approach to the problem, developed in the work of Alain Connes and the author, consists of comparing a Tannakian category constructed out of the data of renormalization of perturbative scalar field theories, obtained in the form of a Riemann–Hilbert correspondence, with Tannakian categories of mixed Tate motives. The book draws connections between these two approaches and gives an overview of other ongoing directions of research in the field, outlining the many connections of perturbative quantum field theory and renormalization to motives, singularity theory, Hodge structures, arithmetic geometry, supermanifolds, algebraic and non-commutative geometry.
The text is aimed at researchers in mathematical physics, high energy physics, number theory and algebraic geometry. Partly based on lecture notes for a graduate course given by the author at Caltech in the fall of 2008, it can also be used by graduate students interested in working in this area
