Interpreting Music, Interpreting Identity - Coda
No full textIn this last contribution to the twin issues Anglistica dedicates to music and cultural studies, Guarracino draws some of the possible connections to be found among the various contributions. Starting from Judith Butler’s and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s Who Sings the Nation-state?, Guarracino elaborates on the use of music as a critical practice, while pointing out for further possibilities of reseach in the field
Of Castrati, Angels and Simians. Ernesto Tomasini interviewed by Serena Guarracino
No full textIn this interview, Ernesto Tomasini and Serena Guarracino explore the multifarious possibilities of the voice of ‘queering’ normative notions of identity and subjectivity. Journeying across the many personifications of Tomasini’s own voice – from castrato to digital angel – their dialogue starts from Butler’s notion of ‘drag’ to show how the questioning of gender identity actually entails putting into question the body as neutral signifier of a human identity. Contemporary musical and artistic practices can redraw the boundaries of the performative body. Seventeenth-century castrati remind our present of an excessive technology of the body that challenges the border between the human and the monstrous. Tomasini’s art short-circuits these (and other) experiences of the performative body, opening it up to endless possibilities of impersonation

L'eclettismo delle narrazioni. Una conversazione con Silvia Albertazzi
Full text linkSi tratta di un'intervista a Silvia Albertazzi presente nel numero speciale di "Altre Modernità" dedicato a "Gli Studi Culturali e l'Università italiana", in cui i maggiori studiosi italiani del settore rispondono a una serie di domande (le stesse per tutti gli intervistati) sullo stato degli Studi Culturali in Italia e sulla loro posizione in merito. (Nel caso in oggetto, l'intervista è a cura di Serena Guarracino; nel sommario della rivista, tuttavia, figurano solo i nomi degli intervistati)

An analytical insight into the buckling paradox for circular cylindrical shells under axial and lateral loading
Full text linkA large number of authors in the past have concluded that the flow theory of plasticity tends to overestimate significantly the buckling load for many problems of plates and shells in the plastic range, while the deformation theory generally provides much more accurate predictions and is consequently used in practical applications. Following previous numerical studies by the same authors focused on axially compressed cylinders, the present work presents an analytical investigation which comprises the broader and different case of nonproportional loading. The analytical results are discussed and compared with experimental and numerical findings and the reason for the apparent discrepancy on the basis of the so-called “buckling paradox” appears once again to lay in the overconstrained kinematics on the basis of the analytical and numerical approaches present in the literature
