Fantastic Architecture and the Building of Europe in Valerio Evangelisti's Eymerich Fiction
No full textConcomitant with the horizontal expansion of EU territory through physical and political enlargement is a genealogy narrative, which emphasizes the ostensible roots of Europeanness in classical antiquity and Christianity. In the face of this sanitized genealogy, which lies at the heart of the European constitutional project, a range of alternative and more inclusive narratives circulate in contemporary European popular fiction. This paper focuses on a series of fantasy novels by the Italian author Valerio Evangelisti, featuring Inquisitor Eymerich as hero-investigator. In his highly popular novels, Evangelisti seeks to uncover layers of shared historical memory untainted with post-Enlightenment rhetoric.
The central architectural tropes of Evangelisti’s imaginary world are those of a castle and a convent, epitomizing the temporal and sacral power in European history. Each isolated from its outside environment and built on layer upon layer of subterranean chambers and corridors, the castle and the convent conceal a past quite different from the one championed in the official European genealogy. Memories of pagan worship and Islamic or Judaic learning – banished from the official rhetoric – continue to thrive, dark and threatening, in the subterranean strata of Evangelisti’s European edifice. Evangelisti thus provides an incisive critique of the official European story of origin, which threatens to suppress any alternative visions of European history or unorthodox avenues for European identity formation
Welcome to Hell. Dante’s “Inferno” in Valerio Evangelisti’s Eymerich Cycle
No full textThe paper examines how Valerio Evangelisti took inspiration from Dante’s Inferno for his Eymerich saga. Evangelisti considers the Middle Ages a mirror of the present and depicts history as a complex system of interrelated events and characters which are mutually linked. In creating a medieval atmosphere which is synchronous with other eras, the author often evokes images and characters from Dante’s Inferno.Nell’articolo si mostra come Valerio Evangelisti si sia ispirato all’Inferno di Dante nella scrittura della sua saga di Eymerich. Evangelisti considera il Medioevo alla stregua di uno specchio del presente, e raffigura la storia come un sistema complesso di eventi interrelati e di personaggi reciprocamente legati l’uno all’altro. Nel creare un’atmosfera medievale che si presenta sincrona rispetto ad altre epoche, Evangelisti evoca soprattutto immagini e personaggi dell’Inferno dantesco
Conflict exposure and labour market outcomes. Evidence from longitudinal data for the Gaza Strip
No full textThis paper documents the effect of variations in the individual-level intensity of conflict exposure on various labour market outcomes for Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. Combining individual-level longitudinal employment data and geolocalised information on conflict-related events, we show that an increase in conflict exposure of the individual, while it does not affect the employment status on average, it has a heterogeneous impact on job transitions depending on the worker being employed in the private or the public sector. We also find that, for those in the private sector, higher conflict exposure reduces the labour income and the number of hours worked. For those in the public sector, the effect of conflict is instead null on both the labour income and the number of hours worked and it is positive on wages. Finally, we provide suggestive evidence that these results are explained by the combination of two mechanisms, namely the conflict-induced change in the health conditions of the workers (which affects the labour supply) and in the level of the local economic activity (which affects the labour demand)
Migrazioni/Migrations
No full textQuesto libro è parola e immagine. È un ponte tra due continenti uniti per secoli dalle rotte commerciali che solcano il Mediterraneo, il mare che un tempo consentiva lo scambio di merci e idee, oggi attraversato da un’umanità in fuga che dall’Africa avanza inesorabile verso l’Europa.
Sviluppando un'idea del grande artista nigeriano Wole Soyinka, primo premio Nobel africano per la letteratura, Alessandra DI Maio, sua traduttrice e collaboratrice di lunga data, ha chiamato a raccolta 32 poeti (16 italiani e 16 nigeriani), invitandoli a versificare sul tema della migrazione. Sedici poesie, in omaggio a quella che per gli Yoruba, la nobile stirpe da cui Soyinka discende, è una cifra religiosa, il numero dell’ordine cosmico. Tra i poeti che hanno risposto con entusiasmo all’appello ci sono giovani afropolitani come Jumoke Verissimo e Chris Abani, e classici quali J.P. Clark-Bekederemo e Odia Ofeimun. Tra gli italiani Valerio Magrelli, Silvia Bre, Stefano Benni, Ascanio Celestini, Erri De Luca e Ubah Cristina Ali Farah. Infine, una diciassettesima poesia «voluta» dal dio del caso, scritta di proprio pugno da Soyinka, e il contrappunto di Dario Fo, che ha voluto donare all’antologia le immagini di due suoi dipinti che illustrano il rapporto fra Italia e Africa
Conflict exposure and health: Evidence from the Gaza Strip
No full textWe study the impact of conflict exposure on health in the Gaza Strip using individual-level longitudinal data and geo-localized information on conflict-related violent events. Results show that individuals living in localities exposed to more conflict events have a higher probability of suffering from a physical impairment and a chronic disease. Two mechanisms contribute to explain why living in conflict-affected area increases the incidence of physical impairment: conflict increases the difficulty to reach health facilities and it decreases individual income. The conflict-induced increase in the probability of having high blood pressure is instead consistent with the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to the exposure to conflict-related violent events
Hermann Kant. Ein bio- bibliografisches Profil
No full textThe proximity to the power apparatus has cast dark shadows on the literary work of Hermann Kant, who is regarded as one of the most read authors of the GDR. Valerio Furneri embeds Kant's life and work in the all-German context of the 20th century and reinterprets his classics such as Die Aula or Der Aufenthalt. The author does not pursue the claim to rehabilitate the GDR, nor to trivialise Kant's role in it. Instead, the attempt is made to look at Kant's entire work from a temporal distance and to re-evaluate it. Through his works, Kant was able to accompany and depict not only the German-German history, but also European history.Die Nähe zum Machtapparat hat dunkle Schatten auf das literarische Werk von Hermann Kant, der als meistgelesener Schriftsteller der DDR gilt, geworfen. Valerio Furneri bettet Kants Leben und Werk in den gesamtdeutschen Kontext des 20. Jahrhunderts ein und interpretiert vor diesem Hintergrund Klassiker wie Die Aula oder Der Aufenthalt neu. Der Autor verfolgt dabei weder den Anspruch, die DDR zu rehabilitieren, noch Kants Rolle darin kleinzureden. Stattdessen wird der Versuch unternommen, Kants Gesamtwerk aus zeitlicher Distanz zu betrachten und neu zu bewerten. Durch seine Werke gelang es Kant nämlich nicht nur die deutsch-deutsche, sondern auch die europäische Geschichte zu begleiten und abzubilden
Migration in Libya: a spatial network analysis
No full textThis paper provides the first systematic analysis of migration to, within, and from Libya. The data used in the analysis are from the Displacement Tracking Matrix data set of the International Organization for Migration. The analysis uses this unique source of data, combining several techniques to analyze various dimensions of migration in Libya. First, the paper provides a detailed description of the demographic characteristics and national composition of the migrant populations in Libya. Next, it discusses the determinants of migration flow within Libya. The findings show that migration in Libya can be characterized as forced migration, because conflict intensity is the main determinant of the decision to relocate across provinces. Finally, the paper describes the direction, composition, and evolution of international migration flows passing through Libya and identifies the mechanisms of location selection by migrants within Libya by identifying hotspots and cluster provinces
