L'arte del disegno a Palazzo Spada. L'astrolabium catoptrico gnomonicum di Emmanuel Maignan
No full textArte, scienza e architettura trovano unione attraverso il disegno nella realizzazione dell'Astrolabium Catoptrico-Gnomonicum progettato da Padre Emmanuel Maignan, dell'ordine dei Minimi, voluto da Bernardino Spada nel suo Palazzo di Roma e realizzato da Giovan Battista Magni nel 1644. Oggi l'arte del disegno, attraverso le sue diverse declinazioni quali il rilievo integrato dello stato di fatto, l'analisi compositiva dell'immagine, lo studio degli strumenti di rilievo e di quelli prospettici utilizzati per la costruzione dei tracciati, permette di conoscere il processo progettuale e di realizzazione dell'immagine riportata sulla volta della galleria del piano nobile. Si svela così la genesi geometrica in un confronto diretto con quanto riportato dallo stesso Padre Maignan nel trattato "Perspectiva Horaria sive de Horographia gnomonica tum theoretica, tum practica libri quatuor", edito nel 1648 a Roma. I diversi approfondimenti presenti nel testo permettono di definire l'Astrolabium come un'opera rappresentativa della cultura del progetto secentesca e in particolare della committenza Spada, in cui osservazione, percezione, rappresentazione e visione guidano le modalità di trasformazione funzionale degli ambienti del Palazzo. Il testo in oggetto è l'esito di parte di una ricerca scientifica sullo studio degli artifici presenti a Palazzo Spada, avviata nel Dipartimento di Architettura dell'Università degli Studi di Roma Tre da Laura Farroni.

The Impact of Embodied and Enacted Metaphors on Cognition and Emotions in Technology‐Mediated Experiences: A Scoping Review
No full textMetaphors are a fundamental tool for shaping human understanding and interaction with the world. Indeed, they play a crucial role in cognitive and emotional processes, enabling individuals to comprehend one domain of experience in terms of another. Grounded in the Conceptual Metaphor Theory, this scoping review emphasizes the significant role of the body in metaphorical cognition and examines how technology may enhance cognitive and emotional abilities through metaphorical embodiment and enactment. Additionally, the review proposes the theoretical frameworks of active inference and Bayesian brain to provide a deeper understanding of how embodied metaphors shape cognitive and emotional experiences by integrating past experiences with current sensory inputs to make predictions about the future. Searches were conducted in the PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to extract relevant articles. Out of the 2648 articles retrieved, a total of 19 studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 15 studies concerning the effect of metaphors on different cognitive abilities (i.e., learning, creative cognition, and perception) and 4 studies regarding emotions (i.e., emotional regulation, arousal, and psychophysiological correlates). Data from these studies were systematically extracted, tabulated, and subjected to a narrative synthesis. Overall, findings suggest that the embodiment and enactment of metaphors, facilitated by immersive technologies, significantly influence cognitive processes and emotional experiences. This enhancement is observed across diverse demographic groups, indicating broad applicability. Despite promising implications, the review identifies a need for further research, especially among clinical populations and in exploring metaphors not traditionally framed within the Conceptual Metaphor Theory

Giuseppe Maria Soli in palazzo Barberini a Roma
No full textThe inventory of goods owned by Prince Giulio Cesare Colonna di Sciarra, who had married Cornelia Costanza Barberini in 1728, contains a reference to Giuseppe Maria Soli as the author of a canvas in the alcove of the second-floor apartment in the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. This makes it possible to reconstruct Soli’s hitherto unpublished activity there, and he is credited with the authorship of the six canvases in the salone of the apartment and the decoration of the gabinetto dei ritratti. Bearing in mind that Soli was in Rome between 1770 and 1784, and that scholarship indicates that work on the palazzo was completed by 1770, a new chronology is put forward – the 1770s – thus also providing a context for the precocious taste in Neoclassicism which has been recognised here, precisely in the decoration of the gabinetto
Re-writing otherness: Jack London photographer
No full textThis paper aims to analyze the relationship between writing, photography and the representation of otherness in Jack London’s The People of the Abyss (1903) and The Cruise of the Snark (1911), the only works illustrated by his own photographs. The first is the report of a six-weeks stay in the East End of London, where he lived with the poor and documented their condition; the second retraces a boat trip in the South Pacific Islands, where he witnessed the effects of colonialism. The purpose is to shed light on London’s unconventional approach towards otherness, as well as on the role of intermediality in these works, ascribable to the genre of phototexts. In stark contrast to the common Western representation of poor and non-white people, the author re-writes their stories in a hybrid transposition on the edge between words and images

Capaci di scegliere? Autonomia e diritti delle persone anziane
No full textIn the essay, the Author dwells on some of the qualifying aspects of the legal relevance of the capacity to choose for the elderly. To this end, against every «ageist narrative», she moves from the assumption that elderly’s lives have equal dignity, if compared to those of the other society’s
members. It follows that the elderly’s full ownership of fundamental rights should also be recognized, and the effectiveness of their rights ensured
I soggiorni duinesi di Rainer Maria Rilke: per una topografia della memoria tra storia e immaginazione
No full textBetween 1910 and 1914 Rainer Maria Rilke spent several months in the Duino Castle as guest of Marie von Thurn und Taxis. His sojourns in the ancient fortress overlooking the Gulf of Triest inspired not only the poetry masterpiece which owes its name to that place, the Duino Elegies, but also other literary projects, such as The Life of the Virgin Mary, some translations of Italian texts and a series of single poems. The Duino experience proved significant for the Prague author from a personal point of view as well: this period was characterized by relevant encounters, fruitful intellectual exchanges, evocative memories and inspiring landscapes, but also by silence, concealment and solitude. Examining both Rilke’s and Marie von Thurn und Taxis’ papers as well as documents of local history, the present article aims at outlining Rilke’s relationship to Duino by tracing the places and identifying the people that marked, in different ways, the poet’s experience on the Adriatic coast of the Habsburg Empire. Real sites which are nowadays only partly recognizable (like the Duino Castle itself and the path on the cliffs along the sea), people present there at Rilke’s time and people belonging to the memory of his host’s family history come to recreate a sort of virtual socio-geographical map including biographical and topographical data, personal memories and artistically transfigured experiences. These elements will prove to be closely connected with the author’s literary production and his poetical considerations of those years and will therefore contribute to the interpretation of a crucial artistic phase in Rilke’s oeuvre
Da Simmel a Foucault, cercando una teoria per la politica migratoria dell'UE
No full textMore than a step forward in a research path, this essay signals the achievement of a limitation of its author. The starting point is the reconstruction of the theoretical path developed in the search for a theoretical framework of political thought adequate to understand and frame the developments of EU policies toward migrants. From Simmel's concept of the foreigner to Arendt’s conscious pariahs to Fanon to Foucault's biopolitics,
declined in different approaches, none seems able to give theoretical framework to the relentless erasure of migrants that the EU is pursuing
