Primo Levi: the educational resources of a polyhedric writing. Didactic proposals for primary schools
No full textreservedPrimo Levi è principalmente conosciuto per essere sopravvissuto ad Auschwitz e per aver scritto delle opere di testimonianza su questa terribile esperienza. In realtà, egli è un autore fortemente poliedrico, la cui produzione abbraccia ambiti, temi e generi molto diversi e non solo legati alla Shoah. Questa grande varietà costituisce una risorsa importante per gli insegnanti, in quanto all’interno dell’opera leviana è possibile individuare tanti testi potenzialmente utilizzabili con gli alunni, anche della scuola primaria. Sulla base di tale considerazione, è stata progettata e condotta la ricerca in questa sede riportata, avente lo scopo di trarre evidenze che potessero confermare o smentire l’ipotesi secondo cui Primo Levi può essere proposto, con i dovuti accorgimenti pedagogico-didattici, anche a bambini frequentanti la scuola primaria. Tale ricerca è stata articolata in due fasi principali. La prima si è basata sulla somministrazione di un questionario rivolto a persone attive in ambito educativo e/o letterario, volto a rilevare le loro opinioni rispetto alla domanda di ricerca: dalle risposte dei partecipanti è emerso che la maggioranza di essi conosceva Levi a un livello piuttosto superficiale e lo riteneva un autore adeguato ad alunni dalla scuola secondaria in poi. La seconda fase ha previsto invece una sperimentazione presso la scuola primaria “Manzoni” di Limena (PD), nella quale due testi scritti da Levi sono stati proposti agli alunni di una classe quarta: i dati raccolti attraverso conversazioni, osservazioni, questionari e analisi dei prodotti realizzati dai bambini hanno nel complesso confermato l’ipotesi di ricerca formulata.Primo Levi is primarily known for surviving Auschwitz and for writing testimonial works about this terrible experience. Actually, he is a highly versatile author, whose work encompasses various fields, themes, and genres not only related to the Shoah. This great variety is an important resource for teachers, as within Levi’s body of work, many texts can be found that are potentially suitable for students, even in primary school. Based on this consideration, the research presented here was designed and conducted with the aim of gathering evidence to confirm or refute the hypothesis that Primo Levi can be introduced, with appropriate pedagogical and didactic adjustments, to children attending primary school. This research was divided into two main phases. The first was based on a questionnaire administered to individuals active in the educational and/or literary fields, aimed at investigating their opinions on the research question: the participants’ responses showed that the majority had only a rather superficial knowledge of Levi and considered him suitable for students from secondary school onwards. The second phase involved an experiment conducted at the “Manzoni” primary school in Limena (PD), in which two texts written by Levi were presented to a fourth-grade class: the data collected through conversations, observations, questionnaires, and analysis of the children's works overall confirmed the research hypothesis

RNDr. Martin Žofka, Ph.D., Institute of Theoretical Physics Abstract: We study the geodesic structure of the generalized Levi-Civita spacetime, a cylindrically symmetric solution to the Einstein field equations. By analyzing the geodesic motion, we investigate how the parameters of the metric influence the dynamics and physical interpretation of the spacetime

Interpreting Primo Levi: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
No full textThis collection contains new and innovative research into the work of the Italian antifascist partisan, concentration camp survivor, author and thinker Primo Levi (1919-1987). It features original essays by many of the world's foremost Levi scholars and by specialists in fields as varied as education, theology, and fine art. Levi's legacy continues to drive a vibrant, continually evolving body of interdisciplinary scholarship, as the contributions to this intellectually rich, tightly organized volume confirm. The essays gathered here demonstrate a remarkable breadth across five distinct yet interrelated areas: ethics, communication, and education; humanity, animality, and science; the camps: memory and space; literature and intertext; and media, publishing, and illustration
Remarks on the Levi conditions for differential systems
No full textIn this paper we prove two results on the Levi conditions for weakly hyperbolic systems with characteristics of constant multiplicities.
A first result concerns scalar operators: we prove that Levi conditions defined by the second author in (C. R. Acad. Sc. Paris 1991) are equivalent to the usual Levi conditions for scalar operator.
A second result concerns systems whose principal symbol has a Jordan form made of a large number of 2x2 blocks. For these systems we express the first Levi condition via an invariant constructed from the sub-characteristic matrix. Moreover we show that this condition is necessary for the C-infinity well-posedness
Primo Levi. An Identikit
No full textOver the last seventy years, Primo Levi (1919–87) has been recognized as the foremost literary witness of the extermination of the European Jews. In Primo Levi: An Identikit, a product of twenty years of research, Marco Belpoliti explores Levi’s tormented life, his trajectory as a writer and intellectual, and, above all, his multifaceted and complex oeuvre.
Organized in a mosaic format, this volume devotes a different chapter to each of Levi’s books. In addition to tracing the history of each book’s composition, publication, and literary influences, Belpoliti explores their contents across the many worlds of Primo Levi: from chemistry to anthropology, biology to ethology, space flights to linguistics. If This Is a Man, his initially rejected masterpiece, is also reread with a fresh perspective. We learn of dreams, animals, and travel; of literary writing, comedy, and tragedy; of shame, memory, and the relationship with other writers such as Franz Kafka and Georges Perec, Jean Améry and Varlam Shalamov. Fundamental themes such as Judaism, the camp, and testimony innervate the book, which is complemented with photographs and letters found by the author in hitherto unexplored archives.
This will be the definitive book on Primo Levi, a treasure trove of stories and reflections that paint a rich, nuanced composite portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most unique and urgent voices
Primo Levi partigiano
No full textThe article is an extended review of two major biographical studies of Italy's most famous 20th century author, Primo Levi. The article examines in detail the issue of Levi's brief partisan career and proposes an alternative interpretation of the execution of two young partisans in Levi's band. Specifically it identifies the probable executioner of the partisans as Aldo Piacenza, and thus sheds new light on the motives behind Levi's silence over the affair
