Space and the nation: three texts on Aldo Rossi
No full textIn this paper the spatial dimensions of political practice and the historical dimensions of architectural practice are examined. The author argues that these two practices intersect when, in the life of a city and a nation, time is transformed into space. The productivity of death in this regard is explored. In developing this argument, reference is made to the works and writings of Regis Debray and Aldo Rossi, as well as events in the recent political history of South Africa
Children of a lesser god : the legalized exploitation of child labour as revealed by the Liberal Era Judicial Record : late 19th-20th Century
No full textIn this article, the author explores the legal treatment of children employed in factories from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century.
To do so, he will examine the legislative record (ranging from the first bills proposed on the issue to the reforms of 1886, 1902, 1907 and 1910), jurisprudence (both civil and penal), and lastly, the legal doctrine of the time, which essentially legitimized “the legalized exploitation” of about 10% of the population under the age of 15
L'originale e la maschera: Stefan George traduttore di Dante
No full textThis essay sets out to examine Stefan George’s version of the Divina Commedia from the viewpoint of the translator/poet’s performative reactivation and transmission of the cultural devices embedded in the original. At the basis of the partial rendering of Dante’s poem, of which single significant episodes are translated, is the idea of its rebirth in the modern era in the form of a complete work in German, in line with the objectives of George’s circle for literary reform. Through the translation, the translator/poet’s goal is to assimilate the whole cultural system of the Dantesque model into his own poetological system and values. This complex operation of poetic transposition (Übertragung) and literary transfer is done on several levels and even includes “disguise” as the extreme form of emulation of the translated author
La versatile scienza del giurista quattrocentesco: note di lettura sulla Repetitio in l. Si fugitivi (C.6,1,3) di Bartolomeo Cipolla
No full textBartolomeo Cipolla, nella seconda metà del XV secolo, è uno dei più precoci cultori del diritto penale. Tra gli altri scritti in materia, si annovera una repetitio dedicata alla l. Si fugitivi del Codex di Giustiniano (C.6,1,3). Partendo dal commento della costituzione in materia di cattura di servi fuggitivi, in occasione di una pubblica repetitio teneuta a Verona nel 1457, Cipolla affronta una serie di temi centrali per il diritto penale e più in genere per il maturo diritto comune: il ruolo del giudice ed il suo arbitrium nella determinazione della pena, l'interpretazione estensiva in funzione equitativa, il rapporto tra diritto romano e iura propria medievali
Once again on Iranian *kund
No full textThe current paper is the third treatment by the author (previous ones: Rossi 2002, 2006) of a complex set of terms widely attested in the Iranian area, but also present in Armenian, NW Semitic (and from here Arabic), Indo-Aryan and Dravidian.
Differently from the conclusions of Asatrian/Arakelova paper of 2001, the author identifies three major lexical families, with the following prototypes: (1) *kōnd-/kŏnd- ‘stump, stub’; (2) *kund-/gund- ‘globular, spherical; thick, large, full-bodied’; (3) *kōnd-/kŏnd- (a) ‘stem of a tree, stump, stock’; and secondarily ‘stock of gun, stocks for offenders’; (b) any anatomical articulation conceived as a support (metaphorical projection on human anatomy of a support stick), as ‘kneecap, elbow, knee’.
All of the linguistic families mentioned show interactions between them for all of the three lexical families, and while core semantics are clearly demonstrable for each of them, peripheral (both geographical and semantical) differentiations are widely attested.
Areal atymologies encompassing Indo-Aryan, Iranian and Dravidian are also hinted

Integration and differentiation at the basis of metaphor
No full textCognitive neurosciences indicate that integration and differentiation are two fundamental properties of conscious experience as well as of the nervous system.
The Author analyses Bernstein’s idea of dexterity (1946-47) and Edelman’s idea of degeneracy (2001) in their historical and theoretical context, and suggests that these brain-mind characteristics are at the basis of the neurobiological mechanisms of metaphor creation
