L'Aids esiste ancora? Nessuno parla più della diffusione di questa malattia, anzi secondo alcuni i farmaci retrovirali sarebbero capaci di curare i suoi effetti, un tempo terribili e mortali. In realtà ogni giorno in Italia sono diagnosticati centinaia di nuovi casi di infezione e dopo anni di terapie si continua a morire di Aids, non solo nell'Africa sub-sahariana, ma anche in Europa.
Il primo dicembre di ogni anno viene celebrata la giornata mondiale di sensibilizzazione e di raccolta fondi per la prevenzione e la cura dell'Aids, indetta dall’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità.
Questo contributo vuole far riflettere sul modo in cui storicamente è comparsa questa epidemia e sui reali ed efficaci modi di prevenirla, che non sono certamente la promiscuità sessuale.
Libro di buona divulgazione.
Il 1° dicembre ricorre la giornata mondiale sull'Aids.

Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)
Histoplasmosis in Italy
No full textHistoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum and Histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii (in Africa) [1]. These infective agents are present mainly in the soil, particularly if contaminated with bird or bat droppings. The infection, acquired via inhalation, is generally asymptomatic, but in a small percentage of cases (1%) it may result in influenza-like symptoms, often self-limiting. It affects mainly immunocompromised patients and worsens in case of high exposure level. It may involve all organs and systems, and may mimic many other infectious and non-infectious disorders, which are more frequent just in these immunocompromised hosts
Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment
