The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature

Norrix presents the factors which influence the School Board's decisions on what and where to build, and explains the priority system which the School Board uses to accomplish its construction goals. Norrix then discusses the building projects which the School Board has highlighted in their most recent evaluation, and discusses each project in detail. From an episode of "Know Your City.
La previdenza complementare nella prospettiva comunitaria e comparata
No full textLa sempre maggiore diffusione di fondi pensione aziendali o professionali nei paesi dell’Unione Europea pone inevitabili interrogativi sul ruolo della previdenza complementare, che, oltre a costituire una fonte di risorse finanziarie indispensabili nel momento attuale di crisi dei sistemi previdenziali, rappresenta un diverso modello di solidarietà rispetto ai regimi previdenziali obbligatori. In questa prospettiva appare particolarmente utile l’analisi comparata della disciplina della previdenza complementare in alcuni Stati dell’Unione Europea, con l’obiettivo di individuare i tratti comuni e le criticità dei diversi sistemi. In questo volume, attraverso i contributi di esperti nazionali, si descrivono le principali caratteristiche di diversi regimi di previdenza complementare e dei loro rapporti con i regimi obbligatori. Oltre alla prospettiva comparata si è ritenuto indispensabile analizzare la dimensione comunitaria della previdenza complementare, specie in seguito all’emanazione della direttiva relativa alle attività e alla supervisione degli enti pensionistici aziendali o professionali. L’intervento del legislatore comunitario in un’area tradizionalmente riservata alla competenza degli Stati membri è infatti un segnale importante della rilevanza del tema delle pensioni complementari, non solo all’interno dell’agenda sociale ma anche all’interno dell’agenda economica e finanziaria dell’Unione Europe

Eustachius’s Tabulae Anatomicae, in the 300dt anniversary of their publication by Lancisi in 1714 in Rome
No full textAround 1550 Bartolomaeus Eustachius (1510?-1574), the great rival of Vesalius, joined the medical faculty of the University La Sapienza in Rome, and there are records that in the years 1555-1566 he held there the chair of Practical Medicine, where he had his pupil Pier Matteo Pini as first sector. During his lifetime Eustachius published only the Opuscola Anatomica (Venetiis 1563/64) containing six libelli (booklets) among which are of seminal importance those on kidney, teeth, auditory organ, and venous system. In 1552, under the direction of Eustachius and his assistant Pier Matteo Pini, 47 tables, then engraved in copper, were prepared by the Roman artist Giulio de’ Musi. Although they were treasured by Eustachius who bequeathed them to the family of Pini, they were unpublished and lost, though were searched repeatedly even by the great Marcello Malpighi. The plates were eventually found and acquired by Pope Clemente XI through the efforts of his physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi who published them in 1714 with new captions for the original had been lost. The title page also bears the beautiful engraving drawn by Pietro Leone Ghezzi from Ascoli, a painter of the papal court, and author of the official portrait of Pope Clement XI. Even though they became to be known more than one century and a half after their completion, the tables arouse such interest and praise among the most prominent scientists of the early XVIII century that, besides that by Lancisi, other editions, with new legends and comments, were printed from the original copper blocks or from re-engravings. Among the latter the best reproduced and commented are those by B.S Albinus, Leyden 1744, that became the anatomy reference book for the rest of the century. Through Albinus, a friend of Felice Fontana, Eustachius’s tables served, according to some critics, as models for the muscle figures in wax exhibited in the museums of La Specola in Florence and in the Iosephinum in Vienna
