COMPOSER-LEGISLATORS IN FASCIST ITALY: DISTINGUISHING THE PERSONAL AND LEGISLATIVE VOICES OF ADRIANO LUALDI
No full textIn addition to a list of Lualdi's written works, appendices include a facing English translation of Alceo Toni, et al., “Travagli spirituali del nostro tempo: un manifesto di musicisti italiani per la tradizione dell’arte romantica dell’800,” La stampa, December 17, 1932, 3.During Italy’s fascist period, the government appointed Adriano Lualdi to the
Chamber of Deputies. The once prominent composer, author, and music critic
represented the Fascist Union of Musicians in the chamber and had roles in the
administration of government-subsidized festivals. Although little is written about the
composer-legislator, what is available depicts him as opportunistic and self-serving.
Previous scholarship claims that he used his position in the fascist bureaucracy to his own
advantage by pushing his aesthetic philosophy through legislation. These claims are
substantiated by Lualdi’s private communications and published works which detail his
opinions on musical aesthetics. Comparing Lualdi’s political records to his publications
shows that his personal opinions on aesthetics did not interfere with legislation to the
degree that past scholarship suggests. I argue that previous scholarship conflates Lualdi’s
legislative voice with his personal voice, offering a distorted, and therefore incomplete
version of Adriano Lualdi as a historical figure
Tilgher Adriano
No full textDopo un primo accostamento all’idealismo fichtiano, Adriano Tilgher elaborò una concezione della filosofia come tensione irrisolvibile tra opzioni morali e visioni del mondo, rifiutando ogni totalità sistematica. Sul piano religioso, per Tilgher il problema fondamentale di ogni religione è il problema del male: di fronte ad esso, se il buddismo ha proposto di fuggire il mondo, il cristianesimo «ha sempre considerato il mondo, la vita, la società come campi di combattimento e preparazione del cielo». Le soluzioni religiose tradizionali, compreso il cristianesimo, sono, però, afferma Tilgher, in grave crisi, dato l’indebolimento della credenza nell’involucro mitico che le sosteneva, ma il tema del male resta non certo meno pressante del passato e l’autore si mostra estremamente critico anche con le ideologie politiche che hanno preteso di sostituire le tradizioni religiose, non certo risolvendo e anzi aumentando ancora l’entità del male.
Parole chiave: Adriano Tilgher, problema del male, dramma del cristianesimo, mito e religione, anti-totalismo
After an initial approach to Fichtean idealism, Adriano Tilgher developed a conception of philosophy as an irreconcilable tension between moral options and worldviews, rejecting any systematic totality. On a religious level, for Tilgher, the fundamental problem of every religion is the problem of evil: in the face of it, while Buddhism has proposed to escape the world, Christianity "has always regarded the world, life, and society as fields of battle and preparation for heaven." However, traditional religious solutions, including Christianity, are, Tilgher asserts, in serious crisis due to the weakening of belief in the mythical framework that supported them. Yet, the theme of evil remains no less pressing than in the past, and the author is extremely critical of political ideologies that have sought to replace religious traditions, which have not resolved the issue but rather exacerbated the extent of evil.
Keywords: Adriano Tilgher, problem of evil, drama of Christianity, myth and religion, anti-totalis
Constitutive Restrictions for Deformable Simple Media that are Heat Conducting and Electrically Polarizable
No full textWe present the constitutive restrictions for a deformable simple medium that is heat conducting, electrically polarizable and interacting with the electric field, either of elastic type or with a fading memory.
The used theory is an extension of the well known Green-Naghdi thermo-mechanical theories of continua, mainly devoted to thermoelastic bodies or rigid conductors. Hence the theory that is used here is based on an entropy balance law rather than an entropy imbalance, uses the notion of thermal displacement, and predicts
heat propagation by thermal waves at finite speed
Migrações internacionais e mundos do trabalho
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-graduação em HistóriaA presente tese aborda o processo de migrações internacionais e de transformações do mundo do trabalho entre o final do século XX e início do século XXI. Seu foco são os brasileiros e brasileiras, documentados e indocumentados, que, em 2007 e 2008, viviam em Portugal e na Espanha. O trabalho tem como objetivos investigar a história das migrações internacionais entre Brasil, Portugal e Espanha, mostrando a chegada de espanhóis e portugueses no Brasil e o contexto de ampliação das migrações de brasileiros para esses dois últimos países a partir de 1986; mostrar as narrativas, memórias, territórios e o cotidiano dos imigrantes brasileiros em Portugal e Espanha; e identificar as novas faces do trabalho imigrante entre o final do século XX e início do século XXI tendo como referência o trabalho de imigrantes brasileiros na construção civil, na limpeza e no cuidado de pessoas, na agricultura e na hotelaria. O período estudado vai de 1986 até 2008. Dentre as fontes documentais utilizadas estão entrevistas orais, notícias de jornais, documentos oficiais e dados estatísticos. O principal argumento defendido é o de que as migrações internacionais e a dinâmica atual do mundo do trabalho não são algo novo na história, mas são parte de uma estrutura que se mantém há mais de 100 anos. Contudo, a conjuntura do final do século XX e início do século XXI é distinta, principalmente em aspectos relacionados ao trabalho imigrante. Tal trabalho vem sofrendo interferências diretas de alterações mais amplas nos padrões produtivos, nas tecnologias e nos fluxos internacionais do capital e força de trabalho. Ao mesmo tempo, ainda que os imigrantes enfrentem piores condições de trabalho, que tenham lugares reservados para atuar e que recebam menores salários que os trabalhadores nacionais, estes não formam um mundo do trabalho à parte, uma vez que estão contabilizados, como precarizados, entre aqueles que devem produzir a riqueza mundial. Outro argumento defendido é o de que no contexto atual também são distintas para os imigrantes as formas de morar e de viver, bem como as noções de família, comunidade, profissão, emprego, sociabilidade, pertencimento e a maneira como estes lidam com o passado, o presente e o futuro. This dissertation investigates the international migration process and the transformations in the world of work between 1986 and 2008 so as to contribute to deepen the research on international migrations and the contemporary world of work. It focuses on Brazilian documented and non-documented immigrants who were living in Portugal or Spain in 2007 and 2008. The specific objectives of this study are (1) to investigate the history of international migrations among Brazil, Portugal, and Spain focusing on the arrival of the Portuguese and Spanish immigrants in Brazil and the context of expansion of the Brazilian migrations to Portugal and Spain; (2) to identify the narratives, memories, territories, and the everyday life of Brazilian immigrants in Portugal and Spain; (3) to uncover the new features of the immigrant work in the end of the twentieth century and beginning of the present century having as reference the work of Brazilian immigrants in areas like civil construction, cleaning, in the care of people, agriculture, and hotel management. The data analyzed in this study consist of recorded interviews in which Brazilian immigrants tell their life stories, newspaper news, official documents, pictures, statistics, among others. The main argument defended in this study is that the international migrations and the present dynamics of the world of work are not something new in the world history, but they are part of a structure that has been in existence for more than a century. However, the conjuncture of the end of the twentieth century and beginning of the present century is different, especially in aspects related to immigrant work which has been suffering direct interferences from wide changes in the productive patterns, in the technology, international flux of capital and work force. Despite the fact that the immigrants have worse working conditions, specific working areas, and get lower salaries that the national workers, they do not form an apart world of work, since they are counted as precarious workers between those who have to generate the worldwide wealth. Another argument defended in this dissertation is that in the present context the ways of living as well as the notions of family, community, profession, employment, sociability, belonging and the way the migrants deal with the past, the present, and the future are also different

Notizie su Caravaggio in collezione Orsini e considerazioni sul Cristo coronato di spine Giustiniani
No full textThanks to the discovery of previously unknown inventory among the Orsini papers in the Archivio Storico Capitolino (Rome), the author is able to attest the presence of three paintings by Caravaggio in the Orsini collection. The new findings make now possible to add new iconographies to the already known pictorial production of Caravaggio. Furthermore the examination of the caravaggesque oeuvre led the author to formulate a new reading of the The Crowning with Thorns by Caravaggio belonged to the Marquis Vincenzo Giustiniani.
The essay is the result of a much larger research undertaken by the project The Orsini and Savelli in Papal Rome. Patronage and Arts of Ancient Families from Feudalism to the European Baroque Courts, whose second research unit (University of Salerno) was supervised by the author

Il paradosso della soggettività e l'etica della relazione [The paradox of subjectivity and the ethics of relationship]
No full textThe paper examines the paradox of subjectivity which, in the opinion of
the author, arises during the Modern Age and can also be encountered in
contemporary thought. In particular, the essay discusses not only Descartes’,
Kant’s and Fichte’s, but also Heidegger’s and Levinas’ philosophies. In its
main form, this paradox arises when the subject (“I”) is considered not in the
first, but in the third person: like something neutral. In the final section of
the paper the author develops a philosophy of relationship, which provides a
way out from the paradox discussed so far and lays the foundations for new
modes of experiencing and performing subjectivity
The role of need for cognitive closure and emotions in shaping the human social interactions and driving the intergroup decision behaviour
No full textIn this thesis author investigates the role of need for closure (NCC) and emotions in shaping
intergroup relations. The thesis consists of two separate parts that
correspond with three studies. In the first part (Study1c with preliminary Studies 1 a and b)
author assumes that level of NCC is associated with the acceptance or rejection of the offers
from outgroup proposers who differ in perceived similarity to the ingroup. Specifically, the
author expects that high NCC individuals will more frequently reject offers from the
outgroups than low NCC individuals, and it will be especially true for dissimilar and
Disgust/Anger/Fear-eliciting outgroups. The results confirmed hypotheses. In the second part
(Study 2) author tests the role of NCC in bargaining behaviour in the ingroup-outgroup
context using fMRI method expecting different neural activation among high and low NCC
individuals while playing in Ultimatum Game. The author found cerebellar activation in
conflicting situations (i.e., offer 4:6 by Outgroup proposers; offer 1:9 by Ingroup proposers,
and offer 4:6 by Ingroup proposers) among high NCC (vs. low NCC) individuals. In part
three (Study 3) author tests a group-effect on emotional contagion, hypothesized that being
emotionally contaminated by a facial expression could interfere with a mere cognitive task in
terms of accuracy and Reaction Times (RTs). The results didn’t confirm it
