Storia dello spettacolo e architettura. La restituzione virtuale della macchina del mare del teatro barocco
No full textThe aim of this article is to propose a hypothesis of virtual restitution of the “maritime machine” of Renaissance and Baroque theatre based on the specific case of the opening performance of the Farnese Theatre in Parma (1628). The celebrations of the wedding of Odoardo Farnese and Margherita de’ Medici culminate in the opera-tournament Mercurio e Marte, written by Claudio Achillini, set to music by Claudio Monteverdi, with scenes and machinery by Giovan Battista Aleotti and Francesco Guitti. It is a composite performance, with a strong symbolic value, conceived to celebrate the patrons and in which the main elements of the Renaissance “intermezzo” (music, dance, stage wonder) merge. The first part of the article – by Benedetta Colasanti – highlights the extent of the stage machinery, the phenomenon of technological precipitation from the construction site to the stage and the role of the state technician, tracing the story from a historical perspective and the analysis and intersection of sources (treatises, notebooks, correspondence, iconography), an operation aimed at providing the necessary data for the virtual restitution process. The second part – by Beatrice Cecchelli – describes the process of virtual restitution from a more technical point of view, illustrating the role of digital technologies and their application to the history of the performing arts.The aim of this article is to propose a hypothesis of virtual restitution of the “maritime machine” of Renaissance and Baroque theatre based on the specific case of the opening performance of the Farnese Theatre in Parma (1628).

La Croix et les idoles d'après l'apologie d'Athanase 'Contre les paiens'
No full textThrough the analysis of some significant passages of Athanasius' apology «Against the Pagans on the Incarnation of the Word», and also thanks to their comparison with other selected texts by the same author, P. F. Beatrice tries to date this still problematic work to around the middle of the fourth century. In particular, he intends to show that Athanasius did know the Neoplatonic philosophy of his time sufficiently well and that the target of his polemic was especially Porphyry. But anti-pagan criticism also supplies Athanasius with a substantial support in his struggle with the Arian heresy which had been shared by his great precursor and adversary Eusebius of Caesarea
750 years on : Beatrice of Nazareth revisited
No full textThis introductory essay to the special issue Beatrice of Nazareth (1200-1268). Milieu – Mysticism – Influence first offers a brief presentation of the life and literary legacy of the famous Cistercian nun, mystic and author who takes centre stage in the present volume. It then elucidates the emergence and subsequent international popularity of Beatrice studies, and discusses the diverse approaches that can be discerned in the current multidisciplinary scholarship on Beatrice. Finally, it explains how the five essays which are collected in this volume open up new avenues for research into the thirteenth-century Cistercian world and for future Beatrice studies
Beatrice of Nazareth
No full textAbstract: Beatrice of Nazareth (1200-1268) belongs to the first generation of women who wrote in Middle Dutch. She lived most of her life as a Cistercian nun in the Dutch-speaking area of the Duchy of Brabant (now a region in Belgium and the Netherlands). Besides having produced an extensive account of her life, because of which she is the first female vernacular author in the Middle Ages to write in the autobiographical genre, Beatrice also wrote several spiritual and mystical texts, both for herself and in the context of spiritual instruction. Although all but one of the original writings are now lost, to some degree her texts have still been preserved in Latin in the form of a medieval vita, the Vita Beatricis. This legacy complicates efforts to discern the exact number of Beatrice\u2019s writings, their content, and their purpose

Beatrice Bishop Berle (1902-1993), was an American physician, teacher and author. Dr. Berle, who ran a neighborhood health clinic in East Harlem from 1953 until 1962, took a pioneering approach to family medicine by treating the entire family for the effects of heroin abuse by a member.

Paradoxes and management approaches of competing for work in creative professional service firms
No full textDespite their business relevance, creative professional service firms are under-researched, in particular with regard to how they compete for work. Competing for work is key to survival, but also extremely challenging due to the complexity of the services offered. In this paper we use a paradox framework to investigate the opposing demands that creative professional service firms experience when competing for work. Based on a set of semi-structured interviews in the context of architectural competitions, we show that creative professional service firms face two interwoven paradoxes which relate to the strategic intent (why to compete) and the design intent (what to propose) of client propositions. We describe these paradoxes and explain how organizations manage and cope with them through both synthesis and separation management approaches. Contributions of this study can be found in theorizing paradoxes of competing for work from the professional service provider's perspective, and in fostering the firms’ paradoxical mind-set, which facilitates the acceptance and resolution of complexity and different competing demands.Accepted Author ManuscriptPublic Commissionin
Beatrice as a Theologian of Deification in the "Vita Beatricis"
No full textThe literary and spiritual-theological strategy of the anonymous author of the Vita Beatricis has attracted the attention of a number of researchers in the past, especially since the author of the Vita integrated an adaptation of the Seven Manners of Love into his text. The Latin author employs a complex, varied strategy. In this contribution, the theological dimension in the text is discussed, in the perspective of mainstream thirteenth-century theology. The anonymous author consistently presents Beatrice as a theological author, and especially as a theologian whose life and work bring to the fore a theological theme that was highly contested in the thirteenth century, namely that of deification
