    The power of fiction and its controversies in Azar Nafisi’s portrayals of a new compliant nationality

    No full text
    According to Anderson’s positions on nation and nationalism as cultural artifacts, Azar Nafisi’s literary memoirs show a controversial case study, focused on the ambiguities of the exile discourse and of the so-called «imaginative knowledge». Through the lens of a recurring celebration of Western myths of freedom, a series of stereotypes and paradoxes will be examined, in relation to the censorship experienced by the author under the Islamic Republic of Iran. Moreover, Nafisi’s juxtaposition of political and literary perspectives will be shown as an ambivalent narrative strategy, despite her search for a true self without any ideological engagement. In the end, the explored duality between oriented dissertations and pure imaginative recreations will enable to reconsider Nafisi’s memoirs as committed depictions of a Westernized national legacy

    From Data to Knowledge. Visualizations as transformation processes within the Data-Information-Knowledge continuum

    No full text
    In this paper we suggest a different approach that considers visualizations in the wider domain of communication and defines a model capable of taking into account the context in which visualizations act as communication tools. In this perspective we consider visualizations as transformation processes within the Data-Information-Knowledge (DIK) continuum. In the paper we discuss the continuum, and apply the transformation process model to the main disciplines of visualization. Visualizations represent powerful cognitive tools that surround our everyday life. By doing this we are able to think about visualization from a multidisciplinary perspective, exploring the role of visualizations in design practice, as artifacts that are used in facing problems of various degrees of complexity and nature. The contribution of the model is mainly addressed to orientate and nurture the reflective practice and to formalize the strategic more than the technical role of visualizations in the design discipline

    La necessità come categoria giuridica: un’ipotesi di lavoro per Jacopo Menochio

    No full text
    Nella biblioteca trivulziana di Milano si conserva, in un unico voluminoso manoscritto, il trattato De necessitate, eiusque privilegiis et prerogativis di Jacopo Menochio.L’impostazione scelta da Menochio può essere meglio compresa grazie al confronto con altri trattati cinque-seicenteschi che affrontano temi dalla stessa natura trasversale e articolata (la povertà, la malattia e simili).Benchè l’opera sia incompleta, la lettura si rivela di notevole interesse sia nella prima parte, più rifinita e meditata, dedicata all’introduzione teorica sul concetto filosofico-giuridico di necessità, sia in quella, assai più confusa e frammentaria, in cui l’autore progettava di analizzare in modo analitico i numerosi privilegia, che nell’ambito del diritto si collegano alle diverse concezioni e situazioni di necessità. Proprio il carattere disorganico del codice lo rende anzi di particolare rilievo: oltre a dare un saggio del sapere giuridico del professore pavese, alle prese con un concetto dalle molteplici sfaccettature teorico-pratiche, il testo offre una interessante visione del metodo di lavoro con il quale va costruendosi un trattato su un tema così complesso, e ci mostra il modo in cui un illustre giurista dell’età del tardo diritto comune padroneggia l’immensa mole delle fonti e delle autorità di riferimento per giungere alla soluzione di ogni possibile caso concreto.In the Trivulziana Library in Milan, the treatise De necessitate, eiusque privilegiis et prerogativis, by Jacopo Menochio, is preserved in a single voluminous manuscript.The method chosen by Menochio can be better understood through comparison with other sixteenth-seventeenth century treatises that deal with themes of the same transversal and complex nature (poverty, illness and the like).Although the work is incomplete, the reading reveals itself of considerable interest both in the first part, more refined and meditated, dedicated to the theoretical introduction on the philosophical-juridical concept of necessity, as in the much more confused and fragmentary part, in which the author planned to analytically analyze the numerous privilegia, which in the field of law are connected to the different conceptions and situations of necessity. The very disorganized nature of the code gives it a particularly significant: in addition to providing a sample of the juridic knowledge of the professor from Pavia, dealing with a concept of multiple theoretical and practical facets, the text offers an interesting vision of the working method with which a treatise on such a complex theme is being constructed, and shows us the way in which an illustrious jurist of the late ius commune era masters the immense mass of sources and reference authorities to reach the solution of every possible concrete case
