Introduzione al volume Crescere/Svilupparsi
No full textComplessivamente 12 sono i saggi che compongono questa raccolta
dedicata alla riflessione antica e moderna sulla crescita e sviluppo delle
forme di vita. Ogni saggio rappresenta un vero e proprio viaggio che attraversa diverse regioni del sapere: i classici antichi, greci e latini, sono in
effetti quantitativamente predominanti, e questo a ragione dei prevalenti
interessi scientifici dei curatori, i quali però si sono ben guardati dall’isolare il ‘classico’ nella sua idiosincratica prospettiva ante litteram, ma hanno cercato e trovato la collaborazione con altri settori della ricerca scientifica. Il che si traduce nella partecipazione al progetto editoriale e scientifico anche di antropologi del mondo antico, di biologi e genetisti, di
filosofi e storici del pensiero filosofico e scientifico.Altogether 12 are the essays that make up this collection

scientific interests of the curators, who, however, have been careful not to isolate the 'classic' in its idiosyncratic perspective ante litteram, but have sought and found collaboration with other sectors of scientific research. This translates into the participation in the editorial and scientific project of anthropologists of the ancient world, biologists and geneticists, of
philosophers and historians of philosophical and scientific thought
Piantare alberi. Storie e modelli di crescita nel "Cato maior de senectute" di Cicerone
No full textIs the idea of “growing” and “development” useful to explain a work about senectus? The aim of this paper is to verify if Cicero’s Cato maior may offer a literary portrayal of “growth” in a double way: the biological one, with the human being intended as a mere individual, and the cultural one, relevant to human generations. The use of words and expressions from the rural context seems to enable Cicero to place the elderly in a justified relationship with the others ages of life, as he was rethinking the conflict of generations, because this opposition always talks about the ways every society conceives and describes itself
Il corpo della parola. Intorno a Cicerone, Brutus 330
Full text linkHow can we interpret the personification of eloquence as adulta virgo that Cicero inserts in Brutus 330? In this paper, we aim to trace and document the origins and recurrences of this figure, both as a useful contribution to show that Cicero’s intention, in this work, was not to celebrate the end of public speaking, and also as a historically careful recovery of the series of values that Roman culture associated with certain biological and age characteristics of the female figure. In conclusion, we propose some reflections on the opportunities that the interpretation of important, but sometimes cumbersome texts, due the (disturbing) cultural patterns they are bearers of, offer for the critical renewal of the study and teaching of Latin literature
Potere, differenza e questioni di genere nella poesia d’amore latina. Spunti per un confronto critico tra passato e presente
No full textIn Latin love poetry, the conventional male-female power relations that
structure society are turned upside down. As is well known, the woman is the “mistress” (domina), the poet in love is her “slave” (servus): literature constructs a world upside down, as has long been recognized in critical studies. In this process of inversion, as we shall see, it is certainly possible to glimpse the emergence of alternative ethical models to the dominant ones, but one question remains open: does the power attributed to female figures in the love relationship actually offer a basis for rethinking gender differences, or does it end up reproducing the negative stereotypes of the feminine constructed and imposed by the male gaze? Some elegies of Propertius and some lyric poems from the fourth book of Horace’s Odes will be the case studies explored in this paper

Cominciare e finire. La parola che non c’è ancora e quella che non c’è più nel "Brutus" di Cicerone
No full textIn the spring of 46 BCE "Brutus" is Cicero’s return to writing, and in particular to rhetorical treatises. But this work is rooted in a broader space of meaning, in which are intertwined the author’s assessment of his oratorical activity, the feeling of being a survivor, the confrontation
with his ghosts, and an ethical-political program of crossing the "nox rei publicae" towards an unknown direction. Cicero offers the reconstruction of the history of Greek and Latin eloquence as the “continuation” of an interrupted discourse that is worth continuing.
However, the conclusion of the treatise escapes the ritual “end” of the narrative and instead seems to open up a new story. In this paper, I will try to outline this peculiar morphology of the work, which begins in a non-simple manner and ends abruptly, or rather perhaps not at
all: a structure that reflects the historical depth and specific complexities in which is set the exploration of Roman eloquence, as a social and political as well as literary phenomenon

No full textThe electrocatalytic oxidation of sulfite in an acidic medium at a platinum-based, chemically modified glassy carbon electrode (Pt-CME) was investigated. The electrode was characterized by voltammetry and flow injection, and applied to the determination of total and free sulfite by ion-exclusion chromatography with direct current and pulsed amperometric detection. The described electrode showed a promising combination of background current stability, catalytic activity detection limit (0.25 and 0.50 mu g l(-1) by direct current and pulsed amperometric detection, respectively) and reproducibility. Examples of determination of free and total sulfite present in fruit juice were achieved by ion chromatography with electrochemical detection. The detector can be used for the analysis of real samples, avoiding tedious or complex pretreatment, with an acceptable level of selectivity and accuracy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
