In cerca di Giovanni Francesco Crivelli
No full textA partire da un dipinto firmato, raffigurante la "Madonna col Bambino in trono e due angeli", l'articolo restituisce corpo alla problematica personalità del pittore Giovanni Francesco Crivelli, attivo in area adriatica a cavallo tra XV e XVI secolo. La ricerca sull'artista, avviata da Federico Zeri, si è incrementata grazie alle precisazioni recate dall'Autore.Starting with a signed painting depicting the "Madonna and Child Enthroned and Two Angels", the article gives body to the problematic personality of the painter Giovanni Francesco Crivelli, active in the Adriatic area at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The research on the artist, started by Federico Zeri, has increased thanks to the clarifications brought by the author
Questione di stile: Carlo Crivelli e i rapporti con la miniatura / Thought of Style: Carlo Crivelli and Manuscript Illumination
No full textIl saggio che viene presentato intende aprire un nuovo fronte nell’ambito delle pro-blematiche legate alla produzione di Carlo Crivelli e si propone di prendere in considerazione il rapporto che l’artista instaurò con la miniatura. Il saggio prende spunto dallo studio di un trascurato capolettera conservato al Fitzwilliam Museum di Cambridge. In questa miniatura, ritagliata e proveniente da un graduale, la figura è chiaramente ispira-ta al Sant’Andrea Apostolo dello scomparto superiore del polittico di San Domenico di Ascoli Piceno firmato e datato 1476, oggi conservato alla National Gallery di Londra. Nonostante siano affatto evidenti i legami con Carlo Crivelli, le ricerche sull’artista tacciono completamente riguardo all’esistenza del foglio, e gli stessi studi specialistici sull’esemplare ne hanno affrontato solo marginalmente lo stile, riconducendolo peraltro in maniera generica all’area ferrarese. Il presente contributo intende invece approfondire la questione grazie al ritrovamento di un altro capolettera, anch’esso con tutta evidenza prodotto a partire da maestro veneziano. Per questo motivo, il contributo si concentra innanzitutto sull’analisi formale delle due opere e sul loro confronto stilistico, volendo dimostrare come esse provengano dallo stesso volume. La ricerca prosegue con una riflessione che si allarga alle altre possibili aree di influenza dell’autore dei lavori presentati, come ad esempio quello lombardo-leonardesco cui richiama il volto della Vergine dell’iniziale S.
The essay that is presented intends to open a new front within the issues related to its production, and aims to take into consideration the relationship that Carlo Crivelli established with the miniature. The paper is inspired by the study of a neglected drop cap preserved at the Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge. In this miniature, cut out and coming from a gradual, the figure is clearly inspired by Saint Andrew the Apostle of the upper compartment of the polyptych of San Domenico di Ascoli Piceno signed and dated 1476, now held at the National Gallery in London. Even though they are the links with Carlo Crivelli are not at all evident, the research on the artist is completely silent regarding it to the existence of the sheet, and the same specialist studies on the specimen have only addressed it the style marginally, however generically tracing it back to the Ferrara area. The present contribution instead intends to delve deeper into the question thanks to the discovery of another drop cap, also clearly produced starting from some paintings made by the Venetian master. For this reason, the paper focuses first of all on the formal analysis of the two works and on their stylistic comparison, wanting to demonstrate how they came from the same volume. The research continues with a reflection which extends to other possible areas of influence of the author of the works presented, such as the Lombard and Leonardesque which recalls the face of the Virgin with the initial S
<em>El retorno del monstruo. Figuraciones de lo monstruoso en la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea</em>. Por Adriana López-Labourdette. Buenos Aires: Ediciones Corregidor, 2023. 410 pages.
No full textIn this review, I offer a critical summary of Adriana López-Labourdette's recent monograph El retorno del monstruo. Figuraciones de lo monstruoso en la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea. As emerges from a first reading of the title, the volume deals with the appearance of monstrous figurations in the recent Latin American literary field. In addition to illustrating the main aspects addressed in the book, this review aims to demonstrate the relevance of such a study in the field of monster studies, both in the Latin American field and in literature in general. In particular, in addition to offering a complex theoretical apparatus and an exhaustive survey of the literature related to the theme of the monster, the author also provides numerous new insights through which to read and interpret the monstrous figurations that haunt contemporary literature
Anthropocenic futures and precarious bodies. A reading of "Mugre rosa" (2020) by Fernanda Trías
No full text"Mugre rosa" (2020), by Uruguayan author Fernanda Trías, depicts a near-future Montevideo, where the population is confronted with climatic disaster and the propagation of a devastating disease. In this article, I explore the representation of bodily precarity in the context of environmental catastrophe, arguing that this vulnerability constitutes a point of resistance from which to rethink human identity. On the one hand, exposure to an anthropogenic environment is interpreted as instrumental to late capitalist biopolitics. This is revealed through the cartographies of precarity emerging from the novel, which reflect not only the chasm between Global North and Global South but also local inequalities. On the other hand, this corporeal exposure constitutes a challenge to traditional representations of the human. Through the analysis of the depiction of illness, I discuss how this deconstruction of the body favours the emergence of a new, interconnected identity. Ultimately, I suggest that a destabilising age such as the Anthropocene constitutes not only a profound moment of crisis but also a privileged space to rethink human subjectivity and its modes of representation."Mugre rosa" (2020), de la autora uruguaya Fernanda Trías, describe un Montevideo en un futuro cercano, en el que la población se enfrenta al desastre climático y a la propagación de una enfermedad devastadora. Este artículo explora la representación de la precariedad corporal en el contexto de la catástrofe medioambiental, argumentando que esta vulnerabilidad constituye un punto de resistencia desde el que repensar la identidad humana. Por un lado, la exposición a un entorno antropogénico puede interpretarse como instrumental a las biopolíticas del capitalismo tardío. Esto se hace patente a través de las cartografías de la precariedad que surgen de la novela, que reflejan no sólo el abismo entre el Norte Global y el Sur Global, sino también las desigualdades locales. Por otro lado, esta exposición corpórea constituye un desafío a las representaciones tradicionales de lo humano. A través del análisis de la representación de la enfermedad, discuto cómo esta deconstrucción del cuerpo favorece la emergencia de una nueva identidad fundamentada en la interconexión. En definitiva, sugiero que una época desestabilizadora como el Antropoceno constituye no sólo un profundo momento de crisis, sino también un espacio privilegiado para repensar la subjetividad humana y sus modos de representación

El problema de la dialectología estructural
No full textPor definición —y con cierta obviedad, como recalcan Chambers/Trudgill (1998: 3) en la primera página de su monografía— la dialectología es el estudio de los dialectos. Formulado de esta manera, el enunciado se caracteriza por una concisión asombrosa y parece no dejar lugara dudas, determinando irrefutablemente el ámbito de estudio de la disciplina en cuestión. Sin embargo, detrás de esta definición se esconde un debate complejo y polifacético, que en formas siempre diferentes llegó hasta nuestra actualidad. Es precisamente en este contexto que se sitúa también la discusión concerniente a la dialectología estructural, en que participaron dos de los lingüistas más importantes del siglo XX: Uriel Weinreich (1926-1967) y Eugenio Coseriu (1921-2002). A lo largo de los años cincuenta, se desarrolló entre ellos una confrontación tácita y parcialmente inédita, que revela dos posiciones firmes, ancladas cada una en su propio saber, cuyo objetivo es el de definir, defender y mejorar una disciplina de primordial importancia, reafirmando su dignidad en cuanto ciencia humana. El propósito de esta contribución es sacar a la luz un manuscrito coseriano casi desconocido, cuya transcripción se acompañará de un breve comentario, a fin de contextualizar el documento en las controversias teóricas relativas a la dialectología estructural. De modo particular, el manuscrito se pondrá en relación con algunos textos fundamentales como Is a Structural Dialectology Possible? de Uriel Weinreich [de ahora en adelante SDP] y Sentido y tareas de la dialectología de Eugenio Coseriu [de ahora en adelante STD]
The contribution of cutaneous thermal signals to bodily self-awareness
No full textAbstract Thermosensory signals may contribute to the sense of body ownership, but their role remains highly debated. We test this assumption within the framework of pathological body ownership, hypothesising that skin temperature and thermoception differ between right-hemisphere stroke patients with and without Disturbed Sensation of Ownership (DSO) for the contralesional plegic upper limb. Patients with DSO exhibit lower basal hand temperatures bilaterally and impaired perception of cold and warm stimuli. Lesion mapping reveals associations in the right Rolandic Operculum and Insula, with these regions linked to lower skin temperature located posterior to those associated with thermoception deficits. Disconnections in bilateral parietal regions are associated with lower hand temperature, while disconnections in a right-lateralized thalamus-parietal hub correlate with thermoception deficits. We discuss the theoretical implications of these findings in the context of the ongoing debate on the role of homeostatic signals in shaping a coherent sense of body ownership

No full textStrain energy density approach as fatigue assessment of Ti6Al4V specimens machined by WEDM single step technology
No full textThe present paper summarizes the results from force-controlled fatigue tests performed on Ti6Al4V specimens machined by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) single step technology. For this aim, blunt V-notched specimens with various notch root radii and un-notched “dog bone” specimens are considered. The fatigue behaviour of this alloy machined by WEDM single step technology is an extremely important issue but, despite this, the literature on this topic is very poor and the effect of geometrical discontinuities on the fatigue life of has still to be investigated. Fatigue data, generated by testing a total number of 62 specimen, are re-analysed by means of the Strain Energy Density (SED) method, investigating the possibility to use this method following a numerical approach. Estimation of the critical radius is performed on the basis of finite element analysis to overcome the lack of knowledge of the material properties often related to the machining process. Thanks to the SED method, it is possible to summarize in a single scatter-band all the collected fatigue data, independently of the specimen geometry. The proposed numerical approach is capable to reduce the scatter index compared to the actual procedure with modest extra effort, also solving the issue related to the geometry selection for the critical radius identification. The method is successfully validated by assessing the fatigue life of specimens with two notch geometries not considered during the critical radius identification. © 2022 The Author(s
