Disegni botanici di Angelina Damiani Lanza (1879 - 1936)
No full textBotanical drawings of Angelina Damiani Lanza (1879 - 1936). The drawings of Sicilian plants made by Ange- lina Damiani are reported and commented. After a brief presentation of the author’s personality, the technique used in the drawings is examined, together with the relevant value from the artistic and botanical point of view. This material, mainly consisting of pencil drawings gathered in an album recently donated to the Director of the Palermo Botanical Garden, sin- ce 2006 is exhibited in the small historical museum set up in one of the halls of the monumental Gymnasium of the same Botanical Garden. Most of the drawings done by Angelina Damiani for the studies of her husband, the Sicilian botanist Domenico Lanza, mainly concern various species and varieties of Calendula.This hard genus of the Asteraceae family was indeed covered by the special interest of Domenico Lanza, on which he carried out a valuable botanical monographic work
Contributi alla interpretazione, conservazione e restauro dei manufatti storico-artistici dell’Orto Botanico di Palermo: il Paride di Nunzio Morello
No full textContributions to the interpretation, conservation and restoration of the historical and artistic artifacts of the Botanical Garden of Palermo: the Paride by Nunzio Morello – Purely cognitive and conservative requirements of the historical-artistic heritage of the Botanical Garden of the University of Palermo, have led the authors to present one of the most representative monuments of such Garden that is of great artistic and cultural value in the City of Palermo: the Paride Pensante, a marble sculpture made in 1839 by the Palermo sculptor Nunzio Morello - a pupil of the most famous artist Valerio Villareale - donated to his homeland and placed in the men- tioned Botanical Garden, in the square in front of the Serra “Carolina”. The sculpture is commented on in relation to the artistic addresses of the period in which it was realized and the mythical figure of the represented subject is discussed. Together with biographical notes on Morello, the cultural period in which he was formed and the artistic direction that distinguishes his work are recalled. Furthermore, information is given on the characteristics of the sculpture and on its conservation conditions. Finally, restoration interventions deemed necessary and not delayed are requested. In this regard, examined the current condition of the sculpture, which has been exposed to the deteriorating action of meteoric and biological agents for almost two centuries, measures aimed at recovering its integrity and readability are outlined. In particular, it is hypothesized should be, after restoration, the original sculpture placed in a suitable place for long-term ex situ conservation and a copy of a replacement already made by the management of the Botanical Garden should be placed in the previous site in order not to preclude its use at the site of origin
Consultation de Charles du Moulin, jurisconsulte de France et d’Allemagne, et ancien Avocat au Suprême Sénat [Parlement] de Paris, sur l’utilité ou les inconvénients de la nouvelle secte ou sorte d’ordre religieux des Jésuites
No full textIl s’agit de la traduction française - due à Anna Maranini et a Jean-Claude Ternaux - de l’ouvrage que Charles du Mulin a consacrée aux Jésuites, imprimée, à l’origine en latin (éds. 1594,1604). Charles du Mulin est un des grands jurisconsultes de droit coutumier et un des défenseurs du gallicanisme. Dans cet ouvrage, il s’occupe de l’utilité (ou des inconvénients) des Jésuites qui sont, dit-il, une ‘nouvelle secte ou sorte d’ordre religieux’. L'ouvrage est placé avant le ‘Fragmentum Epistolae Pii cujusdam Episcopi’ de Pontus de Tyard (1521-1605), célèbre comme poète, comme savant, comme théologien et moins comme polémiste et comme auteur d’oeuvres de circonstance
Conoscenze in movimento per la Giustizia Ambientale: il caso del gasdotto TAP
No full textDa circa tre decenni osserviamo l’espansione e la diffusione, in Italia come nel mondo, della conflittualità socio-ambientale, che si configura sempre più come campo di partecipazione politica di soggetti esclusi e sperimentazione di nuove forme di opposizione. Nel libro questa tipologia di conflitti viene inserita nel campo della giustizia ambientale per sottolineare il tema politico delle disastrose conseguenze sociali prodotte dall’attuale sistema di sfruttamento delle risorse ambientali e dell’insufficienza delle strutture democratiche nella tutela dei diritti dei cittadini ad un territorio integro. In relazione a questa problematica, il particolare attivismo sul fronte delle conoscenze da parte delle parti sociali che animano una protesta evidenzia un conflitto anche di conoscenze e indica l’esistenza di luoghi e i modi di produzione, diffusione e utilizzo di conoscenza alternativi a quelli ufficialmente riconosciuti. Si danno quindi dei processi che influenzano le condotte sociali, consentono di ridiscutere categorie consolidate e conferiscono carattere politico a pratiche, quelle di opposizione, e temi, quelli relativi all’ambiente, che subiscono costantemente tentativi di depoliticizzazione. Attraverso la narrazione e l’analisi della dimensione epistemica delle proteste sorte in Italia in relazione alla costruzione del gasdotto TAP, il libro intende contribuire al dibattito su come si debba configurare lo spazio della politica ai tempi di una irreversibile crisi ecologica e in presenza di forze sociali che indicano, con forza e ampiezza crescenti, la fine della modernità nella relazione con la natura, la necessità del ridimensionamento delle forme della democrazia, l’importanza, nelle scelte che riguardano l’ambiente, dell’integrazione fra razionalità tecnica e culturale.
Le conoscenze come strumento di riconfigurazione di rapporti di potere, della relazione società-conoscenza e della relazione umanità-natura sono inserite in uno schema analitico applicabile ad altri casi empirici, che raramente sono analizzati da questa prospettiva

BIOMASS PRODUCTION AS AN ENERGY SOURCE IN COPPICES OF THE PROVINCE OF FLORENCE, ITALY: CONSIDERING THE ECONOMIC AND EMPLOYMENT ASPECTS
No full textCoppice management of forests in Tuscany, and particularly in the province of Florence, has had a chequered history, which has set the stage for the present problems of forestry policy. In Italy, the period between 1955 and 1975 saw a marked reduction in use of firewood in the home and its virtual elimination from the industrial context, leading to progressive abandonment of coppice management. Since 1975, wood-cutting has once again become an increasingly frequent practice, mainly in beech and deciduous oak forests, to the point that this phenomenon has been defined as a veritable revival of coppice management. This change is due partly to a rise in firewood prices but also to the greater yield obtainable from processing activities, although the observed increase is to be attributed not so much to technological progress (only a few enterprises have adequate equipment), as to the mass accumulated during the period of non-harvesting. Basing our opinion on these considerations we realized a project for assessing the "actual" economic, occupational and environmental potential of coppice management in the province of Florence for biomass production as an energy source. To this end, our work has tried to identify the new potential market area, the enterprises typology, and analyse the social and environmental impact. Moreover, we have evaluated economic efficiency and have taken into consideration the public intervention needed to develop new markets. We have seen that at the moment the possible market areas are tied not only to the traditional markets for house heating by traditional stove with low performance, but also to a new market tied to the most recent developments in heating technologies for dwelling places and small environments, that have allowed considerable technological improvement in heating systems using wood biomasses, which are now more economical and easier to use, have lower gas emission levels and offer greater safety. Another potential market is tied to the electric power production, through the transformation from energy produced by combustion of wood biomass into electric power energy, that we can use in times of peak power consumption in the area studied. The results of this study shows that use of wood biomasses in the energy sector is competitive with oil and gas fired systems, and that biomass production as an energy source is not only environmentally sustainable but also economically feasible and capable of creating job opportunities. Moreover, the possibility for development of two new market areas exists: the first is tied to production of heating energy with new technology plants that use a wood biomass, and result in a high performance; the second is the possibility to develop the electric energy market with the use of gasification or cogeneration plants. In both cases it is possible to create new activities for installation, maintenance and fueling of heating plants, for maintenance and fueling electric generator plants, which will be complementary to harvesting activityResource /Energy Economics and Policy,
La harpe irlandaise. Les arts dans La Parole errante
No full textLa Parole errante, l’œuvre nodale d’Armand Gatti, «œuvre-monde» au sens de F. Moretti, s’inscrit dans l’épique moderne et constitue une épopée, lacunaire et discontinue, de l’art du XXe siècle, tout en évoquant les projets cinématographiques et théâtraux qu’a menés Gatti tout autour de la terre. Dans les deux cas, l’art est vu comme vie. Les évocations des avant-gardes ne reprennent pas le récit qu’elles se sont donné d’elles-mêmes en soulignant leurs ruptures. Inscrites dans une poétique générale de choralité, elles interviennent avec de très nombreuses mentions d’artistes antérieurs au XXe siècle et extérieurs au monde occidental, formant une sorte de chœur où les divers arts se répondent, mais avec des dissonances
