War and Peace in Russia\u27s Realms: A&S 100 with Karen Petrone
No full textLater this spring, Professor Karen Petrone will begin teaching a new 7-week class as part of this year\u27s Passport to the World Program: Reimagining Russia’s Realms. The class, A&S: 100 - War & Peace in Russia\u27s Realms will explore the Russian and Soviet experience of World War I, the Russian Civil War, and World War II through literature, film, and history. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to discover Russian author Leo Tolstoy’s surprisingly influential role in the development of the non-violent resistance movement.
Petrone, the chair of the Department of History, hopes to help students analyze how Russian memories of past wars shape the country today. This topic is one Petrone is already quite familiar with—so much so in fact she\u27s written a book on the subject: The Great War in Russian Memory. The course also offers a unique opportunity for students to learn about Russia\u27s past through its connection to a series of other classes and a play that students will have the opportunity to see at the end of the semester
Enrico Crispolti, Luca Maria Patella. Hanno caldo al cubo
No full textAttraverso una serie di conversazioni inedite tra Enrico Crispolti e Luca Maria Patella e uno scritto teorico di Patella, annotati da Raffaele Bedarida e Antonio Petrone con puntuali riferimenti storico-critici, il volume ripercorre l'intera ricerca dell'artista dagli esordi alla fine degli anni Cinquanta fino al 2000, data delle conversazioni. Spaziando dalla pittura alla fotografia, dal cinema alla performance, illustrato da 65 immagini in bianco e nero e 16 a colori, ed introdotto da una nota storiografica di Bedarida, il libro è uno strumento fondamentale per approfondire non solo il lavoro di Patella ma i molti ambienti e situazioni artistiche in cui è intervenuto da protagonista senza mai lasciarsi incasellare
Inside the Exhibition. Temporalità, dispositivo, narrazione
No full textIl libro considera l’allestimento di esposizioni temporanee tra il XVI e il XXI secolo come un complesso fenomeno culturale, prendendo in esame dodici casi studio. Attraverso l’analisi di documenti inediti e approcci metodologici diversificati, i saggi esplorano il fenomeno espositivo nelle sue molteplici declinazioni e come esso abbia prodotto dei cambiamenti significativi nel modo di guardare l’arte, dalla Firenze ducale del Cinquecento al Canada francese contemporaneo. Al centro dell’indagine è il rapporto tra teoria, dispositivo, spazio e pratica curatoriale. Il quadro d’insieme che il volume restituisce permette di riflettere in senso diacronico sul concetto di ‘esposizione’, dimostrando i limiti applicativi di questo termine e proponendo una riflessione fondata su un’analisi storica della pratica espositiva, ponendo l’accento sul ruolo cruciale delle mostre nelle (ri)scritture della storia dell’arte

Lightening and Innovating transmission for improving Vehicle: Environmental Impacts (LIVE-I)
No full textFor several decades, vehicles have seen their weight increase to meet more demanding requirements of safety and
comfort. At the present time, manufacturers need drastically reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions without sacrificing any safety or comfort. Each vehicle element must be considered for weight reduction. In
this regard, gear transmissions are a first choice candidate. They form a reliable, versatile, and efficient way to transfer
power while representing a significant fraction of the vehicle’s mass. LIVE-I project main objective is to achieve
breakthrough technological progress in the design of lightweight gear transmission and to build an innovative training
network in order to educate early stage researchers in this hot topic. The technical objective of LIVE-I project is to
demonstrate a significant weight reduction of transmission using advanced modeling tools and digital twins together
with advanced materials and systems. This objective will be pursued along different ways, each starting with mass
reduction and exploring ways to achieve compromises between weight, efficiency, noise and vibration impacts. The
modeling will cope with physical complexities of the problem, connected to non-linearities, multi-scale character
among others. The weight/NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) and efficiency improvements of gear transmissions
will be tackled by introducing new paradigms in the design of housing and components, using new meta-materials
and meta-structures, studying the robustness of a given optimization with respect to real manufacturing conditions,
developing smart concepts. Numerical simulations and experiments will be carried out to validate the solutions. In
addition to the described technical approaches a tight integration of the individual ESRs into the overall research
program is taken care of and a specific training plan devoted to their up to date education in gearboxes design and
optimization is offered
A Glorious War? : Contemporary Russia Reimagines World War I
No full textAfter more than seventy years of the Soviet Union rejecting the First World War as an imperialist war, it fell to the Soviet Union\u27s successor state of Russia to commemorate the War\u27s centenary in 2014. Exploring the creation of Russia\u27s first national memorial to the First World War in Moscow and the founding of a World War I History Museum in Tsarskoe Selo, Karen Petrone argues that Russia\u27s new remembrance of the First World War is an integral part of Vladimir Putin\u27s campaign to re-nationalize, re-militarize, and re-masculinize contemporary Russia. To some degree, the ordeal of the Russian Empire during the First World War is being rewritten as a glorious chapter in Russian national history
