La codatorialità nell'ordinamento italiano: ipotesi ricostruttive
No full textNel 2013 la codatorialità ha fatto ingresso nell’ordinamento come “fattispecie” prevista, ma non regolata: la legge “nomina” l’istituto, ma non ne descrive le caratteristiche. Si pone, quindi, il problema di comprendere se sia possibile delineare i contorni della codatorialità con un minimo di affidabilità e distinguerla dalle fattispecie limitrofe, come l’assunzione congiunta. Nel contributo l’Autrice ripercorre le principali proposte ricostruttive della codatorialità, dimostrando come vi siano argomentazioni valide per supportarle tutte, a causa della tecnica normativa utilizzata dal legislatore. Ma esiste una lettura preferibile rispetto alle altre
Emilia Serrano de Wilson : entre los salones literarios y los periódicos femeninos
No full textEl presente artículo examina las interacciones que tuvieron lugar entre los salones literarios del siglo XIX en Europa y los periódicos fundados y dirigidos por mujeres. En primer lugar, se estudia la actividad periodística de Emilia Serrano de Wilson en París y su actividad como anfitriona y participante en varios salones. A continuación, se presentan extractos de su periódico La Caprichosa, que muestran la conexión de ésta con el mundo galante de su época. En los artículos que promueven la participación de la mujer en los salones subyace, además, un interés en favorecer la educación femenina, cuya importancia será también comentada. Por último, se analizan las diferentes estrategias de difusión de ideas que Serrano de Wilson llevó a cabo desde su periódico, así como las redes de comunicación que estableció con otras mujeres editoras y anfitrionas a lo largo de su vida. Estas redes superan los límites de la nación y adquieren un carácter transnacional de especial relevancia

Vestiture: part of the pubescence of the disk is arranged in six irregular lines, these setae are erect and slightly directed anteriad (Fig. 4 e); umbilicate series follows the pattern of the genus. The longest setae of this series are the 2 nd, the 6 th and the 9 th with the 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th and 8 th, more slightly inserted within the elytral margin; besides these setae there are one parascutellar basad, two discal (one anterior and one posterior) and one apical seta (Figs 4 d– 4 f). Last abdominal ventrite with one pair of medium sub-marginal setae in males, two pairs of medium sub-marginal setae in females (Figs 4 g– 4 h). Male legs with the protarsomere 1 dilated; tarsomere 1 in all legs more pigmented (light brown) than the others; mesotibiae with a strong pubescence on both margins; hind femora (males and females) without any median tooth on the internal margin (Figs. 4 g– 4 h).

The female genitalia follows the general pattern described for the other species of the genus (e.g., Zaballos & Jeanne 1987, Zaballos 1998, Zaballos, 2005). Female genitalia (Fig. 6 b) shows the gonocoxite IX sickle-shaped, and has a long ensiform seta in the middle region of the external margin, one ensiform seta in the middle dorsal region and a double nematiform seta in the internal margin near the beginning of the apical third. Gonosubcoxite IX without special features; laterotergite IX with a variable number of setae (8–10). Internal genitalia (not shown) with spermathecal duct long, parallel and enlarged very slightly near the bursa copulatrix (length: 0.16 mm), a spherical spermatheca (width: 0.019 mm), duct of spermathecal gland short and thin, gland fusiform (lenght: 0.096 mm), middle region membranous, apical portion sclerotized. Etymology. This new species is dedicated to the Portuguese naturalist Anthero Frederico Ferreira de Seabra, who greatly contributed to the knowledge of the Coleoptera of Portugal in the first half of the XX century. Morphological affinities. The two new species share with most species of Geocharis two setae on the elytral disk, one anterior and one posterior (Table 1). In Table 1 some other morphological characters like the presence or absence of elytral striae, a tooth on the internal margin of the hind femora and the number of setae of the left paramere are compared in all species of Geocharis. Taking into account the presence on the elytral disk of two setae, the absence of a tooth on the internal margin of the hind femora of males and females, as well as the fact that the adults present traces of elytral striae, the new species are close to G. b i v a r i Serrano & Aguiar, G. julianae Zaballos, G. k o r b i (Ganglbauer), G. massinissa (Dieck), G. montecristoi Zaballos and G. testatretafoveata Zaballos (all the adults of these species exhibit the above characters). Nevertheless, in G. b i v a r i and G. julianae the elytral striae are stronger than in the new species (see Zaballos 1989, Serrano & Aguiar 2004). Geocharis bivari, G. julianae and the remaining other four species are also easily segregated from the new ones by the shape of the median lobe of aedeagus plus the pattern of internal sac sclerites (Zaballos 1989, 2005, Serrano & Aguiar 2004 a). The new species are easily separated from one another by the aedeagus conformation (cf. Figs 5 a– 5 b and 5 c– 5 d) though they much resemble each other on external morphology. The growing knowledge of the genus Geocharis in terms of number of species and morphological peculiarities, corroborates former conclusions (e.g. Zaballos 2005) about the difficulty of identifying its species based only in the external morphology, with the exception of some taxa (see Table 1). Characters that are not mentioned in Table 1 like ovulate elytra and the presence of a vestigial sutural stria (G. coiffaiti and G. femoralis), left paramere features, the pronotum shape or even hind tibiae shape are useful for identifying particular Geocharis species. This happens with adults of G. leoni Zaballos which present the left paramere with lamellar and membranous scales in the apex instead of setae, the adults of G. portalegrensis which exhibit a pronotal disk strongly flattened, the adults of G. iborensis Zaballos which present the hind tibiae arcuate inwards instead of the general straight pattern, and the adults of G. julianae which present a fold in the internal margin of this structure (Zaballos 1989, 1990, 1998, Serrano & Aguiar 2000). Indeed, the best characters to identify and segregate the Geocharis species, besides the ones mentioned above, are found in the aedeagus, as are the general conformation of median lobe (lateral view), the apex of the same structure (dorsal view) and the armature pattern of the internal sac. Faunistic data on other Geocharis taxa and Hypotyphlus lusitanicus. Geocharis olisipensis Schatzmayr, 1937. Material examined: Bucelas (U.T.M. coordinates: 29 SMD 9305), 3.III.2011, 53, 4 Ƥ, 22.III.2011, 13, 2 Ƥ, 30.III.2011, 23, 1 Ƥ. Within the genus Geocharis this species was the first one described for Portugal based on two specimens collected near Lisbon (Schatzmayr 1937). Serrano & Aguiar (2004 a) after some efforts to locate this species found it in the outskirts of Lisbon (Valejas and Fanhões) and more recently in Serra de Montejunto (almost 50 km north of Lisbon) (Serrano & Aguiar 2008). The new locality near Bucelas is close to the former ones (Fig. 7). Geocharis quartaui Serrano & Aguiar, 2004. Material examined: Serra de Sicó (Pombal) (U.T.M. coordinates: 29 SNE 3319), 31.III.2008, 1Ƥ, 15.IV.2008, 13, 3 Ƥ; Serra do Sicó (Pombal) (U.T.M. coordinates: 29 SNE 3419), 15.IV.2008, 23 3, 10 Ƥ. This species was described on the basis of several specimens collected near Alcobaça (Carvalhal), a locality close to Serra de Aire e Candeeiros and recorded later in Serra de Montejunto (Serrano & Aguiar 2008). This new localization in Serra do Sicó (almost 40 km north of Serra de Montejunto), indicates for this species a wider distribution than the previously thought (Fig. 7). Interesting also is the fact that the Serra de Sicó male specimens exhibit a stronger median tooth on the internal margin of the hind femora than that observed in specimens of the other localities. Hypotyphlus lusitanicus Serrano & Aguiar, 2004. Material examined: Aldeia do Catarredor (Serra da Lousã) (U.T.M. coordinates: 29 TNE 6636), 2.IV.2008, 2 3; Fundeira (Pampilhosa da Serra) (U.T.M. coordinates: 29 TNE 8731), 3.IV.2008, 4 3, 3 Ƥ; Silvares (Fundão) (U.T.M. coordinates: 29 TPE 1141), 4.IV.2008, 1 Ƥ; Folgosa (Peso da Régua) (U.T.M. coordinates: 29 TPF 1357), 29.IV.2009, 1 Ƥ. One male and 1 female from Fundeira are deposited in the collection of Vicente Ortuño; all the remaining specimens are deposited in the collection of the first author, Departamento de Biologia Animal (Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa). This remarkable species was found in the centre of Portugal (Aldeia do Mato near Tomar) (Serrano & Aguiar, 2004 b). Lately it was found in a new locality (Barragem do Cabril, Pedrógão Grande) almost 60 km farther north (Serrano & Aguiar 2008). The new localities notably increase east- and northwards the distribution of this species (Fig. 7). Ecological and geographical considerations. The two new species of Geocharis inhabit the endogean environment in the same way than other congeneric taxa. This means that they live in the soil, usually at different depths of the B-horizon. They are found under sunken stones laying at different depths, from superficial (epigean) to well-buried (edaphic or endogean) environments. Individuals of endogean carabids are more easily found close to the superficial horizon layers after heavy rains because then the soil reaches higher percentage of humidity (saturation or close to saturation), pushing the beetles upwards. References to this behaviour are not abundant (e.g. Zaballos 2005; Zaballos & Pérez-González 2011), though we sampled several specimens of G. sacarraoi Serrano & Aguiar and Typhlocharis passosi Serrano & Aguiar, 2005 after rain in these conditions. However, the soil horizons do not always present the same depth and many times the bed rock is closer to the epigean environment. In this case endogean individuals may occur for instance between plates of sunken schistose rocks (e.g. Fig. 2). Though only one species of Geocharis occurs at a given locality, there are some recorded exceptions (e.g. Zaballos 2005; Serrano & Aguiar 2001, 2006, 2008). Sometimes Geocharis species can also be syntopic with species of the genus Typhlocharis (e.g. Dieck 1869, Serrano & Aguiar 2008). To date, all the Geocharis species located north of Tejo River in Portugal were recorded from localities ranging between the Lisbon region and Serra de Aire e Candeeiros. Interestingly, despite several field surveys to the north of Tejo River, only those conducted in the western region north of Lisbon led to the discovery of Geocharis species until now. Geocharis quartaui (also collected in this study) was found in Serra de Sicó, a mountain also located in the western region. The finding of the two new species here reported from surveys near the Douro River and Vimioso has increased the distribution of this genus 240 km farther north of Serra de Sicó. Yet, more remarkable was the discovery of Hypotyphlus lusitanicus in Folgosa in syntopy with G. barcorabelo n.sp. The presence of the former species north and south of Serra da Estrela (Fig. 7) corroborates the hypothesis that H. lusitanicus is a zoogeographical relict of a lineage that once must have extended westward from the Lionigurian massif to the Lusitanian massif (Serrano & Aguiar 2004 b). Finally we would like point out that G. barcorabelo n. sp. and G. antheroi n.sp. were not found within the limits of any Natural Park or protected area and as such are not currently under any conservation protection. From the 20 Geocharis species known in Portugal (including the new ones) (Table 1), only 7 (G. b i v a r i, G. boieiroi, G. monfortensis, G. m o s c a t e l u s, G. portalegrensis, G. quartaui and G. rodriguesi) were recorded inside the geographical limits of a protected area.Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

La obra narrativa de Segundo Serrano Poncela
No full textThis dissertation provides an analysis of Segundo Serrano Poncela\u27s narrative work, texts that, rarely remembered today, are in need of an in-depth study. Short narratives and novels are studied to offer one of the most complete works about this author. The aim of this work is to provide an extensive analysis of his style, characters, subjects and themes, emphasizing the historical aspect of the exile in which the author tries to acquire a literary identity derived from the political past.
The introductory chapter situates the figure of Serrano Poncela within the Narrative of Spanish Exile tradition. In reviewing the existing criticism, it points out the few valuable articles that recognize his literary worth.
Chapter I offers a biographical account of the author\u27s life, from his childhood, his participation in the Spanish Civil War and his life in exile in three different countries. Serrano Poncela was never able to return to his homeland and died in exile in Venezuela.
Chapter II studies his short narratives from the beginning of the exile in 1940 until 1968 when the last collection of short stories was published.
Chapter III analyzes his two major works published in the 60\u27s, Habitacion para hombre solo and El hombre de la cruz verde. These two novels explore the nature of exile and the essence of Spain as a nation from two different autobiographical perspectives.
Chapter IV deals exclusively with his major work of fiction La vina de Nabot, a posthumous publication. This work closes a trajectory of his narrative technique by returning to the cause of the exile: the Spanish Civil War.
This dissertation also incorporates many primary sources extracted from the correspondence of the author with prominent figures of the Spanish literary world such as Max Aub, Francisco Ayala, Jose Ferrater Mora, etc. It also includes unpublished short stories and manuscripts and the most complete bibliography of the author to date.
The study shows the author\u27s need to claim for himself a literary identity as an author of fiction, and his desire that his work be the testimony of his past and presence within contemporary Spanish Narrative
Proyecto existencial, político y estético en "Del cielo y del escombro", de Arturo Serrano Plaja
No full textThe short stories collected in Del cielo y del escombro illustrate Serrano Plaja’s change ofheart with regard to the historical events of the Thirties. We studies the political, aesthetic, andexistential trajectory of this author, whose literary purpose it was to create a form of art which wouldeschew both the playfulness of art for art’s sake and the heavy-handedness of propaganda. Thistrajectory, however, culminates in failure, as the project of a redeeming humanism is revealed to beimpossible: ultimately, the stories renounces all kinds of idealization to embrace nihilism, thusprefiguring the themes of Plaja’s poems of exile
