Stratone di Sardi. Epigrammi
No full textVissuto, con ogni probabilità, nella prima età imperiale, Stratone di Sardi è autore di un centinaio di epigrammi pederotici contenuti principalmente nel XII libro dell'Antologia Palatina. In un'epoca in cui l'epigramma erotico, tanto più nella variante omofila, era caduto in disuso, Stratone dà nuovo impulso al genere con gli strumenti dell'umorismo e di un'ironica intertestualità. Con un linguaggio composito, nel quale la citazione dotta si affianca al termine provocatorio e scurrile, e con un atteggiamento scanzonato e a tratti dissacratorio, la sua poesia introduce personaggi e situazioni amorose che esprimono una sessualità franca e gioiosa, una concezione dell'eros aliena da ogni sublimazione idealizzante. Al lettore moderno questo volume presenta un testo critico aggiornato degli epigrammi di Stratone, affiancato da una nuova traduzione integrale; e, nel commento, una guida costante al peculiare linguaggio artistico dell'autore: alla comprensione, dunque – una decodificazione minuta – dell'intrico di rimandi, allusioni, ma anche straniamenti, che lega la poesia stratoniana ai modelli della tradizione letteraria di cui essa si nutre

Polifemo tra letteratura e iconografia: Luc. DMar. 1 e 2
No full textThis paper analyses Lucian's Dialogues of the Sea Gods 1 and 2 – both of them dealing with the myth of Polyphemus – under a double perspective: intertextual and intervisual. On the one hand, it clarifies the ways in which specific literary models are transposed into a dialogic form, according to a variety of adaptation strategies, ranging from nearly absolute fidelity (this is the case of DMar. 2, based on Od. IX 181-566) to a genuine ‘remake’ (DMar. 1, an adaptation of Theocr. 6 and 11, with a change in the situations and the points of view). On the other hand, it shows how Lucian, in constructing his Cyclops, appeals to the visual memory of his audience almost in the same way in which he urges their literary memory

The Tragedy of the Digital Commons
No full textIn the paper it is argued that bridging the digital divide may cause a new ethical and social dilemma. Using Hardin's Tragedy of the Commons, we show that an improper opening and enlargement of the digital environment (Infosphere) is likely to produce a Tragedy of the Digital Commons (TDC). In the course of the analysis, we explain why Adar and Huberman's previous use of Hardin's Tragedy to interpret certain recent phenomena in the Infosphere (especially peer-to-peer communication) may not be entirely satisfactory. We then seek to provide an improved version of the TDC that avoids the possible shortcomings of their model. Next, we analyse some problems encountered by the application of classical ethics in the resolution of the TDC. In the conclusion, we outline the kind of work that will be required to develop an ethical approach that may bridge the digital divide but avoid the TDC
Lucillio, Epigrammi : introduzione, testo critico, traduzione e commento
No full textThis is the first modern commentary devoted exclusively to the epigrams of Lucillius, a prolific Neronian poet who, in spite of being one of the most significant representatives of the Greek satirical epigram, has primarily been studied not for his own value, but for the influence he had on Martial. About 140 epigrams of his survive, mostly in book XI of the Anthology.
The volume contains an extensive introduction, a new critical text and translation, and a full literary and philological commentary. While the body of the commentary focuses on the particular, providing literary readings of individual epigrams and a line-by-line linguistic, philological, and stylistic analysis, the introduction deals with Lucillius’s identity, the tradition of the text, style, themes, metrics, and cultural setting, and additionally investigates the origins and development of Greek skoptic epigram.
Particular attention is paid to the way in which Lucillius engages with the conventions of the genre, often overturning the reader’s expectations. In this way, the work explores the paradox inherent to the fact thata poetic form that was by itsnature eulogistic (inscriptional epigrams were born in order to record, and thus celebrate, the dedication of an object or the death of a man) ultimately became the genre of mockery and abuse
