Giovanni Botero and English Political Thought
No full textThis dissertation is a study of the reception of the Jesuit-trained Italian author, Giovanni Botero (1544–1617) in early-seventeenth century England. It examines how Botero was translated for an English audience, and reconstructs the debates to which Botero was relevant and helped stimulate in late Elizabethan and Jacobean England. Part I examines the publication history of Botero’s books in England and finds that the translators and printers edited Botero significantly. Its primary focus is thus on who was translating Botero and for what purposes, and who was printing and selling the resulting books. It establishes that the most prominent of Botero’s books in England were the Della grandezza della città (1588), Della ragion di stato (1589), Relazioni Universali (1591–1595). Chapters I–III accordingly consider these works in turn. Chapter IV then briefly turns to consider Botero’s other works, including I prencipi (1600). Part II then turns to look at Botero’s readers. Four further chapters consider Botero’s reception in relation to four broad themes: geography and travel (Chapter I); climate and situation (Chapter II); colonies and commerce (Chapter III); and responses to Machiavelli (Chapter IV). Each of these chapters examine Botero’s contributions to these themes, other contemporary authors whom he was read alongside, and how and why people were reading him to speak to these debates. Ultimately, the backdrop to this story is English colonialism in the Americas and Ireland and a growing interest in understanding the political significance of trade. The dissertation therefore contributes to our understanding of the history of early modern political thought, translation and reception, and English-Italian intellectual exchange in the early modern period. Ultimately, the thesis tells two stories – one about the importance of this Italian author in seventeenth-century England, the other about the intellectual origins of certain key themes in British political thought of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
費爾南度•波特羅(Fernando Botero,1932-)的藝術研究
No full text[[abstract]]Colombian Artist Fernando Botero becomes the international artist which by its special modeling style. He makes quite individual and characteristic style. And he is famous for the obesity, deformation, anti-proportion, anti-perspective,and comicality in his art.
When everyone is close to the avant-garde art, but Botero chooses to return the early Renaissance in Italy, and the folk art in Latin America. He takes the Renaissance master's drawing skill to transform into his own drawing characteristic, and he creates massive characters uniquely. It becomes the mark of Botero.
But it is not Botero’s aim of returning to tradition, he also absorbs a part of the avant-garde art. Therefore Botero’s ambition is to make a special symbol in his paintings, in other words, he want to creates unique “Boteroque” painting style. Today, he is also famous for it in the world.
Giovanni Botero e gli itinerari del sapere fra Umanesimo e prime inquietudini barocche
No full textThis study aims to underline the opinion of Giovanni Botero, the author of The Reason of State (1589) and of the main opus Relazioni universali (1591) about universities and their cultural function in Europe. It introduces an hypotethical parallel between Erasmus of Rotterdam, and his itinerant career all over the continent, and the Counter-Reformation intellectual Giovanni Botero, a jesuit until 1580, to see how the universities were considered into their education. Both of them were restless intellectuals, both of them used to travel and know different academic contexts. A focus on Botero’s opinions regarding the Studia of his time offers some hints of reflections about the cultural system and the crucial link between instruction and economic prosperity.Questo studio mira a mettere in luce l’opinione di Giovanni Botero, l’autore delDella ragion di Stato (1589) e della grande opera Le relazioni universali (1591), riguardole università e la loro funzione culturale in Europa.

In the original description, the author provided specific dimensions, not ranges: “Long. 12 (antennarum c. 22), lat. hum. 2.2. [length 12 mm (antennae 22 mm), humeral width 2.2].” But this fact does not prove that he had only a single specimen. In the same work, Heller described <i>Nemophas subterrubens</i>, also from the Philippines and collected by Baker, also providing specific dimensions: “Long. 28, lat. hum. 9.8 mm.” However, recently was discovered that the type series was composed by at least two specimens, one of them deposited at USNM and the other one at the SNSD; both specimens have identical labels of locality and collection number (see Wallin <i>et al.</i> 2014), and it was designated a lectotype and a paralectotype. In the same work there are some other examples where Heller indistinctly provided dimensions of a single specimen or of more specimens. For example, <i>Isopterus brevior</i> was described based at least on a couple, but he provided only one length and one width; but in the description of <i>Isopterus tesselatus</i> and <i>Artapocyrtus rufipes</i> based at least on a couple, he provided a range of measurements.</p> <p> Regarding <i>D. levitemporalis</i>, there is at least one specimen at the SNSD (Fig. 20). This specimen has a red label with the name of the species handwritten by Heller, but also with “ typus ” printed (Fig. 21). Furthermore, there is a label by Charles Fuller Baker with the number of the specimen in his collection (22409— Heller (1924) mentioned this number). Additionally, there is also one specimen at the USNM (Figs 23–26), without identification by Heller, with a red label with the name of the species, but also with a label with the number “22409” handwritten by Baker, and a printed label with the place of collection (identical to that in the specimen deposited at the SNSD — Fig. 22). As in relation to <i>D. heterotarsalis</i>, probably, this red label was posteriorly added by someone from the USNM who believed to be a type.</p> <p> We believe that Heller (1924) had more than one specimen when described <i>D. levitemporalis</i>, and that he returned at least one specimen to Baker. Therefore, following ICZN (1999: 72.4.1.1), we are considering the specimen deposited in the USNM as part of the type series. This seems coherent because the specimen has two labels identical to those in the specimen in the SNSD. It is difficult to believe that Baker had more than one specimen and sent only one to Heller. It is important to note that other species described in the same work had more than one specimen sent by Baker. Apparently, Heller (1924) considered the specimen with “Typus” label as the holotype, and retained it to his private collection.</p> <p>In order to promote nomenclatural stability and facilitate further identifications of this species, a lectotype and paralectotype are herein designated.</p> <p> <i>Philippistenia levitemporalis</i> can be differentiated by the other species of the genus by the genae with coarse transverse wrinkles; the antennae entirely reddish-brown; humeri finely granulated laterally; scutellum surrounded by dark area; and anterior third of each elytron with a dark area medially.</p>Published as part of <i>Botero, Juan Pablo & Vives, Eduard, 2021, Philippistenia, a new Disteniini genus from the Philippines (Coleoptera: Disteniidae), pp. 465-476 in Zootaxa 5047 (4)</i> on pages 468-470, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5047.4.6, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5543116">http://zenodo.org/record/5543116</a>
Análisis del concepto de razón de Estado en Maquiavelo y Botero
No full textIn this work, the author analyses the concept of "Reason of State" in two italian writters: Niccola Macchiavelli and Giovani Botero. This concept as well the "ways of goverment", concept have haid an important impact not only in the State and Politic theory but also in the understanding and in the policy practice. The "Reason of State" considerer has three main sbstancial elements: construction, manteinance and expansion of the State. It is not only focused in a better way of goverment, but in the ways of understanding politic and public choise. Macchiavelli and Botero ofter one of the most modern and contemporany reflexions on this topic, not only because of the theorical foundamentations, but also, because of taking this into public practice.En este trabajo se trata de analizar el concepto de "razón de Estado" en dos escritores italianos, Nicolás Maquiavelo y Giovani Botero. Este concepto, junto con el de "formas de gobierno" han tenido un impacto importante, no sólo en la teoría del Estado y de la política, sino en el entendimiento y en la formación práctica política mundial. La razón de Estado tiene como elementos principales tres cuestiones: la construcción, el mantenimiento y la expansión del Estado. No se centra únicamente en la mejor forma de gobierno, sino que refiere, directamente, a tres modos de entender la política y la cosa pública. Tanto Maquiavelo como Botero, ofrecen una de las reflexiones más modernas y contemporáneas de este tema, no sólo por su planteamiento teórico, sino por su preocupación por llevarlo a la práctica.
Una aproximación al concepto de “razón de estado” en Giovanni Botero desde la teoría política de Carl Schmitt
No full textResumen: El trabajo se propone analizar la conceptualización del término “razón de Estado” en el teólogo piamontés Giovanni Botero a la luz de las teorías políticas de Carl Schmitt. En especial se hará hincapié en la aparición dentro del pensamiento de Botero de conceptos que luego Schmitt caracterizará como esenciales en la conformación del Estado Moderno, entre los cuales están el de soberanía, la idea del enemigo político, y la conformación de un orden frente a la existencia de un estado de excepción. Principalmente se busca usar estos conceptos schmittianos como marco teórico para entender cómo Botero intentó definir el concepto de “razón de Estado” frente a las problemáticas políticas, sociales y religiosas que se producían a fines del siglo XVI.Abstract: This article analyzes the concept of Raison d’Etat in the works of the Italian theologian Giovanni Botero, in the light of Carl Schmitt’s political theory. The analysis will put special emphasis on those concepts in Botero’s thought which later Schmitt will describe as essential notes in the Modern state formation process: the idea of sovereignty, the idea of political enemy and the establishment of order in front of a state of exception. Using these Schmitt’s concepts, the author looks for a deeper comprehension of the process followed by Botero to define the idea of Raison d’Etat in the light of the political, social and religious problems of late sixteenth century
Systèmes de villes et pouvoir. L’analyse de Giovanni Botero à l’époque de la Renaissance
No full textThe work published in 1588 by Giovanni Botero: Delle cause della grandezza e magnificenza delle città, should be considered a major landmark in the history of urban theory, in that it presents a rich and innovative view of the competition for growth between cities and the processes through which it occurs. We analyse this work, which has been neglected in France, from the dual perspective of the dynamics of cities and the control of territory. Botero is highly original when listing and comparing the causes of urban attraction, while his ideas on government are more representative of the concepts of his time. But taken as a whole, what is sketched out in the work by this Renaissance author is indeed a new representation of territoriality
Un matrimonio interétnico en Andágueda (1946), de Jesús Botero Restrepo
No full textEn el contexto de la novela antioqueña de tema indígena, Andágueda (1946), de Jesús Botero Restrepo (1921-2008), representa un caso especial. Su trama realiza un matrimonio interétnico negado en otras novelas, y lo realiza con arreglo a la costumbre indígena, lo cual acaba de particularizarlo. Sin embargo, tras ese símbolo etnográfico se agazaparía un discurso favorable a un proyecto de mestizaje en que los elementos “blancos” y “civilizatorios” —difundidos en cruzadas como la colonización antioqueña— pretenden imponerse sobre otras expresiones étnicas, a pesar de su resistencia.In the context of the Antioqueño novel with an indigenous theme, Andágueda (1946), by Jesús Botero Restrepo (1921-2008), represents a special case. Its story concerns an interethnic marriage not treated in other works, and its development is in accordance with indigenous customs which in itself makes this work unique. Nevertheless, behind the ethnographic symbol the author hides a discourse that favors a project of miscegenation in which the elements of "whites" and "civilizing" —spread through crusades such as the Antioqueño colonization— tries to impose itself over ethic expression in spite of resistance

No full textVolxemia dianella Lameere, 1884 Fig. 3 D–E Volxemia dianella Lameere, 1884: 86. Volxemia dianella – Zajciw 1958: 686; 1974: 47. — Damoiseau & Cools 1987: 10. — Martins 1999: 154, fig. 96. — Monné 2005: 172. — Galileo et al. 2008: 17, 118. — Monné et al. 2010: 239. In the original description of Volxemia dianella Lameere, 1884, the author mentioned that the species was described with 3 specimens: “ 1 ♀ rapportée de Botafogo par Van Volxem; 1 ♂ et 1 ♀ du Brésil, sans localité précise.” (Lameere 1884). Damoiseau & Cools (1987) in their work about the type material of Cerambycidae deposited in the IRSNB mentioned only two specimens of V. dianella: “ 2 syntypes, (6), Brésil: Botafogo, ex coll. Van Volxem & Lacordaire ”. The number 6 refers to the faunistic region (Neotropical + Mexico). Last year I had the opportunity to visit the Entomological Collection at the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, and corroborated the existence of only two type-specimens of Volxemia dianella Lameere, 1884, with no holotype originally designated. In order to promote nomenclatural stability and facilite further identifications of this species, a lectotype and paralectotype are herein designated. Material examined Lectotype 1 ♀ (Fig. 3 D–E) (present designation): “ ♀ ”, “ Coll. R. I. Sc. N. B. / Bresil Bresil / ex. coll. Lameere ” “ Syntype ”, “ Volxemia / Dianella Lam.”, “det. Lameere ” and “ LECTOTYPE / Volxemia dianella / Lameere, 1884 / Des: Botero, J.P., 2015” (IRSNB). Paralectotype 1 ♀: “Coll. R. I. Sc. N. B. / Bresil Botafogo / ex. coll. C. Van Volxem”, “ Volxemia / Dianella! / Ann. Belg. 1884. / 28 p. 85-86.”, “Type”, “ Syntype ♀ ”, and “ PARALECTOTYPE / Volxemia dianella / Lameere, 1884 / Des: Botero, J.P., 2015” (IRSNB).Published as part of Botero, Juan Pablo, 2015, Three new species, a lectotype designation, and taxonomic and geographic notes in Eburiini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae), pp. 1-22 in European Journal of Taxonomy 148 on pages 14-15, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2015.148, http://zenodo.org/record/378754
