«Il sale della satira è il condimento della commedia». Elements in the European Mock-Heroic Poem
No full textLuca Ferraro
L’articolo è incentrato sul rapporto tra eroicomico e satira. Gli autori passati in rassegna sono i principali del canone europeo: Tassoni, Boileau, Pope e Parini. L’obiettivo è stato quello di verificare quanto l’elemento satirico sia parte integrante del genere inventato da Tassoni. Nella seconda parte del testo si è cercato di dimostrare che la satira diventa la forma del comico predominante nei poemi eroicomici successivi alla Secchia rapita. Analizzandone in ordine cronologico le opere più rappresentative, si è voluto fare una riflessione sul genere e su come mutano gli elementi che lo caratterizzano nel corso dei suoi quasi due secoli di vita.
The focus of this paper is the relationship between mock-heroic and satire. The analysis will deal with the most important satirical and mock-heroic authors in Europe : Tassoni, Boileau, Pope and Parini. The purpose is to prove how the satirical element is an essential part of the genre invented by Tassoni. In the second part of the paper we will try to demonstrate that the satire becomes the main mode of the comic in mock-heroic poems after the Secchia rapita. By analyzing chronologically the most representative works, our article proposes a reflection about the genre and the evolution of its characteristics during almost two centuries
Near-infrared properties of 12 globular clusters towards the inner bulge of the Galaxy
No full textWe present near-infrared colour-magnitude diagrams and physical parameters for a sample of 12 galactic globular clusters located towards the inner bulge region. For each cluster we provide measurements of the reddening, distance and photometric metallicity and of the luminosity of the horizontal branch red clump and the red giant branch bump and tip. The sample discussed here, together with that presented in Valenti, Ferraro & Origlia (2007), represents the largest homogeneous catalogue of bulge globular clusters (comprising ~80 per cent of the entire bulge cluster population) ever studied
Líquenes foliícolas de Argentina y Paraguay: Sistemática y Biología en Gomphillaceae (Ascomycetes Liquenizados) Foliícolas para Argentina y Paraguay
No full textLa familia Gomphillaceae del Orden Ostropales comprende actualmente 12 géneros con ca. 260 especies, la mayoría de los cuales se encuentran sobre hojas de plantas superiores en bosques tropicales. Aunque algunos representantes también pueden ocurrir sobre cortezas y rocas en regiones extra-tropicales. Antes de este trabajo, para Argentina y Paraguay oriental, se encontraban mencionados en la bibliografía existente los siguientes taxones, Gyalectidium eskuchei, G. filicinum, Echinoplaca pellicula, Gyalideopsis vulgaris, Tricharia carnea, T. urceolata, T. cuneata y T. cf. pallida. Se analizaron aproximadamente 800 ejemplares. Se han hallado 8 géneros con 53 taxones, de los cuales 42 presentan su fase teleomórfica, lo que permite identificarlos. De los restantes 11 taxones, 8 solamente fueron hallados como anamorfos, uno presenta el talo y los apotecios pero no se ven ascosporas, en los dos restantes solo se hallaron talos bien desarrollados; todos éstos ejemplares se incluyen como ejemplares afines o no identificados. Los anamorfos coleccionados no han sido descritos o ilustrados en la bibliografía consultada por lo que se destacan como nuevas formas de conidiomas. Durante el transcurso de este estudio se han publicado una serie de contribuciones donde se describieron por primera vez para la ciencia ocho nuevas especies correspondientes a los siguientes géneros: Gomphillus, una especie, G. pedersenii L. I. Ferraro & Lucking; Gyalectidium 4 especies y una nueva combinación, G. areolatum L. I. Ferraro & Lücking, G. fantasticum L. I. Ferraro & Lücking, G. plicatum L. I. Ferraro & Lucking y G. aurelii Ferraro & Lucking; la nueva combinación corresponde a G. catenulatum (Caval. & Silva) L. I. Ferraro, Sérusiaux & Lücking. Para el género Tricharia se describe T. cuneata L. I. Ferraro & Vĕzda y se crea una variedad nueva Tricharia urceolata var. paraguayensis L. I. Ferraro & Lücking. Se registran por primera vez para Argentina los géneros Gomphillus con dos especies y Echinoplaca con ocho especies. Para Argentina y Paraguay se mencionan por primera vez un total de 19 taxones, son los siguientes: Aulaxina quadrangula, Calenia depressa, C. phyllogena, Echinoplaca handelii, E. pellicula, E. epiphylla, E. intercedens, E. leucotrichoides, E. melanotrix, Gomphillus americanus, Gyalectidium caucasicum, G. setiferum, Gyalideopsis choshuecencis, Tricharia albostrigosa, T. farinosa, T. pallida, T. vainioi, T. purulhensis, T. aulaxinoides. Otros cinco taxones son nuevos registros para Argentina solamente, ya se conocían de Paraguay; Echinoplaca strigulacea, E. diffluens, G. imperfectum, Gyalideopsis vulgaris, Tricharia carnea y T. urceolata. Se describen nuevos tipos de hifóforos, considerando la simetría de estas estructuras y su forma, se propone una clasificación, diferente de la dada por Vĕzda (1979), se ilustran con dibujos y fotografías. Se describen apotecios maduros que funcionan como conidiomas en Tricharia urceolata var. paraguayensis. Se incluye una clave para los géneros de la familia, descripciones y claves para las especies coleccionadas en el área de estudio y se menciona material adicional estudiado de otras regiones tropicales. Se incluyen, una tabla donde se indican, el número total de especies conocidas y las registradas en este trabajo y gráficos de barras que muestran la frecuencia de colección de los taxones y su presencia sobre los forófitos. Se ilustran la mayoría de los taxones con dibujos y fotografías.Fil: Ferraro, Lidia Itati. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Prenatal THC exposure permanently disturbs kynurenic acid and glutamate levels and amplifies the responsivity to an acute kynurenine challenge in the rat prefrontal cortex
No full textThroughout the world, cannabis remains one of the most widely used illicit drugs during pregnancy (Porath-Waller, 2015). The main psychoactive component of marijuana (delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, THC) passes through the placenta, and its use is correlated with early physiological effects in the offspring. Neurobehavioural and cognitive impairments have been reported in several longitudinal studies on children and adolescents prenatally exposed to marijuana (Calvigioni et al., 2014), and a link to psychiatric disorders has been proposed (Jutras-Aswad et al., 2009; Mathews et al., 2014). Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids induces cognitive deficits in rat offspring (Ferraro et al., 2009) and is associated with alterations in cortical/hippocampal glutamate and GABA levels (Antonelli et al., 2005, Beggiato et al., 2017). Interestingly, the deleterious effects of cannabinoids on cognitive functions are similar to those observed in adult rats prenatally exposed to (L)-kynurenine (KYN), which is the direct bioprecursor of kynurenic acid (KYNA), a neuroactive metabolite of tryptophan degradation (Pocivavsek et al., 2014). We therefore investigated whether alterations in KYNA levels in the rat brain might play a role in the long-term consequences of prenatal cannabinoid exposure. Pregnant Wistar rats were treated daily with THC [5 mg/kg or vehicle (sesame oil) by oral gavage] from gestational day (GD) 5 through GD 20. One adolescent [postnatal day 35-45] and one adult male rat per litter was then used to determine the extracellular levels of KYNA and glutamate before and after a challenge with KYN (5 mg/kg i.p.) by in vivo microdialysis in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Compared to vehicle-treated controls, extracellular basal KYNA levels were higher in adolescent and adult rats that had been prenatally treated with THC (p<0.01; p<0.05, respectively). These rats also had lower extracellular glutamate levels than respective controls (p<0.01; p<0.05, respectively). Following a challenge with KYN, extracellular KYNA levels increased in both adolescent groups (i.e. vehicle- and THC-treated; p<0.05) Interestingly, this effect was more pronounced in adult rats which had been prenatally exposed to THC. KYN also caused a trend towards a reduction in extracellular glutamate levels in vehicle-treated adolescent and adult rats. We propose that these permanent alterations in KYNA and glutamate signalling in the mPFC of prenatally THC-exposed rats could be relevant for cognitive dysfunction. Our results are also in line with the hypothesis that a “double-hit” may precipitate psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia later in life
Ariosto, poeta della forma: dalle lezioni giovanili alla Storia della letteratura italiana di Francesco De Sanctis
No full textL’articolo si occupa dell’evoluzione del pensiero desanctisiano sul Rinascimento e sull’Orlando furioso attraverso tre tappe: Le lezioni giovanili napoletane, Le lezioni zurighesi e La storia della letteratura italiana. L’analisi è svolta individuando tre aspetti fondamentali: il rapporto epica-cavalleria, l’unità di trama, la forma. L’obiettivo è dimostrare come le opinioni di Francesco De Sanctis mutino in modo meno netto di quanto si possa pensare, in quanto alcuni punti fissi restano identici nel tempo. Quello che varia in modo sostanziale è il taglio prospettico attraverso il quale essi sono interpretati.Cet article aborde l’évolution de la pensée desanctisienne sur la Renaissance et le Roland furieux à travers trois étapes : ses premières leçons napolitaines, les Lezioni zurighesi et l’Histoire de la littérature italienne. L’analyse touche à trois aspects fondamentaux : la relation entre genre épique et genre chevaleresque, l’unité de trame, la forme. Notre propos est de démontrer que les opinions de Francesco De Sanctis évoluent moins drastiquement que ce que l’on pourrait penser, puisque certains points fixes restent identiques au fil du temps. Ce qui varie de façon substantielle, c’est la perspective à partir de laquelle ces points sont interprétés.This article focuses on the evolution of the thinking of De Sanctis about the Renaissance and the Orlando Furioso in three steps: the early Neapolitan lessons, the Lezioni Zurighesi and the History of Italian Literature. The analysis deals with three key aspects: the relationship between epic and chivalry, the unity of plot, and form. The purpose is to demonstrate how the opinions of De Sanctis change less radically than we may imagine, as some fixed points remain unchanged throughout time. What significantly changes is the perspective through which these points are interpreted
