Teodora: Un’odierna lettura romanzata in Italia
No full textThis paper examines two Italian novels by Mariangela Galatea Vaglio, a historian, novelist, and blogger. The novels, published in 2018 and 2022, are titled Teodora. La figlia del circo and Teodora. I demoni del potere. In my analysis, I will focus on a few key aspects that are, in my opinion, essential to the novels. First, I will briefly analyze the techniques used to represent the cultural situation of the time. Secondly, the focus will be on Vaglio’s characterization of Theodora and Justinian as complementary examples of ‘nonconformist’ femininity and masculinity. In particular, I will consider the Nika revolt of 532 CE, which is presented in I demoni del potere as a crucial moment in the empress’s path. To highlight the unique aspects of Vaglio’s narrative, a comparison will be made between her depiction of Theodora’s famous speech during the revolt and Procopius’ narrative in his History of the Wars, as well as Stella Duffy’s description of the event in her novel The Purple Shroud. Finally, the author herself briefly explains the reasons for reexamining the figure of Theodora today in a short interview.This paper examines two Italian novels by Mariangela Galatea Vaglio, a historian, novelist, and blogger.

Romantyczne science fiction. Przyszłość według Teodora Tripplina
Full text linkThe present article aims to show the nineteenth century vision of the future in one of the first Polish science fiction novels, A Journey around the Moon (Podróż po Księżycu), written in 1858 by Teodor Tripplin. In the first (theoretical) part, the author characterizes the science fiction genre, highlighting a distinctive role of technological invention and scientific method, as well as locating the story in a future perspective. A concise description of the Polish science fiction genesis allows for relating Tripplin’s novel to a wider context and, hence, for considering it as a unique phenomenon in Polish literature. In the second part of the article, the author discusses Tripplin’s vision of the future, which is classified into three categories in the novel: 1) the future of technological inventions, 2) the future of medicine development, and 3) the future of society.Celem niniejszego artykułu będzie zaprezentowanie XIX-wiecznej wizji przyszłości, ukazanej w jednej z pierwszych polskich powieści fantastycznonaukowych – Podróży po Księżycu (1858) autorstwa Teodora Tripplina (1812–1881). W pierwszej, teoretycznej części artykułu przedstawiony zostanie gatunek science fiction, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dystynktywnej roli wynalazku technologicznego, metody naukowej oraz osadzenia fabuły w realiach przyszłościowych. Skrótowe omówienie początków polskiej fantastyki naukowej pozwoli na osadzenie Podróż po Księżycu w szerszym kontekście, a co za tym idzie uznanie jej za ewenement w literaturze krajowej. W drugiej części artykułu skupiono się na ukazaniu wizji przyszłości, wykreowanej przez Teodora Tripplina w Podróży po Księżycu w podziale na trzy kategorie obecne w utworze 1) przyszłość wynalazków technologicznych, 2) przyszłość w rozwoju medycyny, 3) przyszłość społeczeństwa
Business, politics, and governance in transition: Romania and beyond, 1999-2008
No full textMy dissertation addresses the fate of institutional reforms of market governance (such as laws of bankruptcy, capital markets, and concessions) and democratic governance (such as anti-corruption, civil service, and judicial reform) in Romania and across Eastern Europe. While progress has been limited in reforming democratic governance, the surprising turnaround in economic performance and institutional reforms of market governance in Romania challenges the prevailing view in the literature that communist-era managers were able to capture the state and prevent the creation of a sound institutional framework. I explain how this reversal of fortune was possible, as well as why this success has not been fully matched in the democratic governance domain, by focusing on the influence of private actors, economic and political, on the reform of governance institutions. Success in institutional reform in the market domain in Romania’s case came from a combination of economic elite change on the background of political change and banking reform that led to changing incentives of the business elite. Using data from the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS), I show that banking reform also has a strong relationship to the reduction in state capture across Eastern Europe. The mixed success in state accountability or democratic governance in the Romanian case is due to the continued incentives of politicians for state exploitation in the context of quite robust political competition in Parliament, as well as competition between the President and the Prime Minister.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Patricia Teodora Youn

Nuove tecnologie e commercio internazionale: un'analisi empirica
No full textThe essay regards issues related to international trade by focusing on factors related to technological innovation and the diffusion of net technologies. On the basis or an «extended» gravity model, which includes additional variables alongside GNP and population, the author examines international trade among 39 countries from 1973-1998 according to the technological content of goods, Among the variables in the model, the author introduces a nes index related to the ease of communication through the net, measured by the number of internet hyperlinks that exist on websites on a server in one country that point to web pages hosted by servers in another country. The empirical findings show that for homogeneous goods, the most outstanding variable explaining bilateral commercial flows is the GNP of the import country for differentiated goods, and the GNP of the export country for highly technological goods. For highly technological sectors, the effect of communication via internet, measured by internet hyperlinks, is very relevant, above al! in trade between OECD countries
Does globalisation affect labour standards? : an empirical investigation
No full textBased on a large cross-section of developing and developed countries, this paper investigates the nexus between globalisation and four labour standards: freedom of association and the right to bargain collectively (FACB), freedom from forced labour (FL), abolition of child labour (CL) and non-discrimination (D). The question of central interest is whether trade and foreign investment affect the level of the four labour standards. FACB and FL are measured by newly constructed indices that emphasize de facto government compliance. Openness is measured by various trade and FDI indicators, which range from highly aggregated to highly disaggregated ones. The empirical results suggest that trade and foreign investment are in general associated with stricter labour standards. Special government initiatives which stimulate exports and FDI do, however, have an adverse effect on labour standards, and particularly, on FACB.labour standards , globalisation , trade , FDI
