La scrittura per immagini nell’esordio del secondo libro delle Confessioni di Agostino
No full textL’esordio del secondo libro delle Confessioni di Agostino non è tessuto tutto d’un pezzo, ma il testo è costituito da diverse parti cucite insieme: le singole parti possono essere distinte per l’uso di una specifica tecnica compositiva. In particolare le parti dell’esordio esaminate in questo contributo (2, 1, 1-2, 2, 2: da Exarsi enim aliquando satiari a mersabat gurgite flagitiorum) mostrano un differente impiego del linguaggio figurato.In the second book of Augustine’s Confessions, the exordium is not woven in one piece, but is made up of different parts sewn together; these parts can be distinguished by the use of a specific compositional technique. In particular, the parts of the exordium examined in this paper (2, 1, 1-2, 2, 2: from Exarsi enim aliquando satiari to mersabat gurgite flagitiorum) show a different use of figurative language
Ψυχή a refrigescendo (Orig., princ. 2, 8, 3). Origine del nome e dello stato dell’anima
No full textIn Orig., princ. 2, 8, 3 il termine anima, che in greco si dice ψυχή, è spiegato con un’etimologia e un traslato (dictum sit et translatum). Il raffreddamento non è riferito ad un elemento naturale ma allo stato più divino e migliore (de statu diuiniore ac meliore) e al calore naturale e divino (ex calore illo naturali et diuino). Questo spostamento semantico è la principale differenza fra la tradizione precedente e Origene: nei testi classici il nome greco di ‘anima’ è connesso al raffreddamento dovuto alla respirazione (Aristotele) o al colpo d’aria dal quale il neonato è colpito nel momento in cui è partorito e viene alla luce (Stoici); invece nel testo origeniano il termine ψυχή è spiegato con il raffreddamento della carità a causa dell’allontanamento dalla fonte del calore che è Dio.In Orig., princ. 2, 8, 3 the term anima, that in Greek is called ψυχή, is explained by an etymology and a trope (dictum sit et translatum). Cooling is not referred to a natural element but to the most divine and best state (de statu diuiniore ac meliore) and to the natural and divine heat (ex calore illo naturali et diuino). This semantic shift is precisely the main difference between the previous tradition and Origen: in classical texts the Greek name of ‘soul’ is connected to the cooling due to breathing (Aristotle) or to the air shot from which the newborn is struck at the moment when it is born and comes to light (Stoics); instead in Origen’s text the term ψυχή is explained by the cooling of charity because of the moving away from the source of heat that is God

No full textRecombine and survive: evolutionary history of the V highly conserved domain in the mammalian genome after the V-SINE superfamily extinction
No full textShort interspersed elements (SINEs) are non-autonomous retrotransposons. Because of high turnover rate, they exhibit widely divergent nucleotide sequences but highly conserved domains (HCDs) may occur. Three different HCDs originated before the Radiata-Bilateria split and two underwent repeatedly to exaptation. The "V" HCD has been retrieved in 16 nonamniotes'SINE families and within a miniature inverted-repeat transposon, MER6, in the human genome. Through in silico searches in sequenced genomes and transcriptomes, we found MER6 in all primates and its variant, MER6A, in bats and in the star-nosed mole. Moreover, we found evidence of MER6 in a salamander and retrieved its parental Tc1/ mariner element in the painted turtle. Data indicate that MER6 originated by recombination between a V- SINE and the parental Tc1/mariner element. Nucleotide substitution rate, computed on 10 primates orthologous insertions, places MER6 main activity burst as contemporary to Placentalia diversification. Moreover, age analyses suggest that MER6 was no longer active in mammals, except in the tarsier where a recent replication burst originated a new MER6A subfamily. Finally, unlike frog and fishes V-SINEs, genomic distribution of MER6 does not appear biased toward genic regions in human, chimp and mole genomes. Present data show how the V domain managed to survive and replicate after V-SINEs extinction. Although the impact of HCDs is still unclear, their wide conservation suggests some role; the study of V- elements with different replicative biology may help to disentangle transposon- related aspects from putative HCD function
Riding the wave: the SINE-specific V highly conserved domain spread into mammalian genomes exploiting the replication burst of MER6 DNA transposon.
No full textTransposable elements are widely distributed within genomes where they may significantly impact their evolution and cell functions. Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are non-autonomous, fast-evolving elements, but some of them carry a highly conserved domain (HCD), whose sequence remained substantially unchanged throughout the metazoan evolution. SINEs carrying the HCD called V are absent in amniote genomes, but V-like sequences were found within the miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE) MER6 in Homo sapiens. In the present work, the genomic distribution and evolution of MER6 are investigated, in order to reconstruct the origin of human V domain and to envisage its possible functional role. The analysis of 85 tetrapod genomes revealed that MER6 and its variant MER6A are found in primates, while only the MER6A variant was found in bats and eulipotyphlans. These MITEs appeared no longer active, in line with literature data on mammalian DNA transposons. Moreover, they appeared to have originated from a Mariner element found in turtles and from a V-SINE from bony fishes. MER6 insertions were found within genes and conserved in mRNAs: in line with previous hypothesis on functional role of HCDs, the MER6 V domain may be important for cell function also in mammals
