Pairs of foliations and Mattei-Moussu's Theorem
No full textInternational audienceWe prove a reduction of singularities for pairs of foliations by blowing-up, and then investigate the analytic classification of the reduced models. Those reduced pairs of regular foliations are well understood. The case of a regular and a singular foliation is dealt with Mattei-Moussu's Theorem for which we provide a new proof, avoiding Gronwall's inequality. We end-up announcing results recently obtained by the first author in the case of a pair of reduced foliations sharing the same separatrices

L’invenzione dell’antico alla corte dei Gonzaga. Lelio Manfredi e la descrizione della villa di Lucullo in Tusculum
No full textThis paper focuses on the treatise Pallazzo di Lucullo, written in ca. 1515 by the humanist Lelio Manfredi, which reconstructs the villa in Frascati (ancient Tusculum) built for the Roman aristocrat Lucullus. The vernacular manuscript, dedicated to Isabella d’Este Gonzaga, Marchioness of Mantua, and preserved in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, testifies to Manfredi’s antiquarian interests. First of all, the essay investigates the ancient and modern sources used by the author, dedicating particular attention to Varro’s description of his own villa of Cassino, which served as Manfredi’s model for the reconstruction of the Lucullian villa. The Pallazzo di Lucullo is then framed within the context of architectural treatises written by men of letters in the sixteenth century – such as Alvise Cornaro and Giangiorgio Trissino – and of the humanistic reception of the aviary, also admired by Erasmus and Giulio Giovio. Finally, the paper discusses the Pallazzo di Lucullo within the cultural context of the Gonzaga dukedom, where Manfredi lived for several years. By describing the ancient villa, the author presents himself as an artistic adviser of the Gonzaga, who were renowned patrons thanks to their important architectural commissions. Thus, the analysis of the Pallazzo di Lucullo sheds new light on the dynamics at this Renaissance court, promoting the study of the intermediaries who introduced the Gonzaga to antiquarianism and ancient architecture
Jean Piaget. Tra psicologia e filosofia: un problema di metodo
No full textThe end of his long journey of study and research, Piaget rethinks the relationship between science and philosophy, particularly that genetic epistemology which formed the core of his psychological research. Here we want to reconstruct the various steps in the field: starting from the initial observation and experimental research, up to the relationship between the natural sciences and applied sciences of the spirit in his own research. While strongly criticizing the methodological limitations of philosophical inquiry, the author does not seem that Piaget has definitely never been away from the core of philosophical research heuristic, a nucleus is always rich with meaning and significance matrix of questions and always searching for the interrogation psychological
Understanding Abstract Concepts across Modes in Multimodal Discourse: A Cognitive Linguistic Approach, by Elżbieta Górska
No full textThe fields of metaphor studies, cognitive linguistics and multimodal discourse have given rise, in the last decades, to what we know today as “Multimodal Metaphor” (Forceville 2009), which is rooted in the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), a theory initiated by Lakoff and Johnson. This theory underpins the definition of metaphorical communication as “[...] a mode of thought” (Lakoff 1993, 210), i.e. the realization of conceptualizations not only by means of the verbal mode but also by other expressive means. These “means of expression,” referred to as “modes” by multimodal theory, are usually understood as organized sets of resources, which are shaped by society and whose use might change according to cultural context (Kress 2010, 79). Metaphorical and abstract thinking, by being imaginative by nature and unconsciously culturally inborn, can therefore be expressed in any semiotic mode alongside verbal language, such as static and moving imagery, gestures, sound. Forceville’s new conceptualization of figurative communication suggests that multimodal metaphors, in order to be defined as such, should express bodily experience (metaphor source) and the concept (metaphor target) through different modes. He claims that humans comprehend abstract concepts in terms of concrete concepts. For example, the metaphor LIFE IS A JOURNEY seeks to make the concept of LIFE intelligible through the more concrete experience of JOURNEY and the intrinsically triggered idea of path with a destination which, in metaphorical discourse, represents a feature of the source “mapped” onto the target domain (20). The book by Górska fits into this theoretical framework perfectly and integrates specific cognitive linguistic approaches into a multimodal research study of cartoons by the Polish artist Janusz Kapusta. Drawing upon image schema theory, CMT, multimodal metaphor theory, the dynamic approach to metaphor and a multimodal approach to metonymy, the author explores the spatialization of abstract concepts in verbo-pictorial aphorisms, aiming to widen and enrich the contemporary field of multimodal metaphorical thinking through an image-schematic cognitive approach. The core of her work, as she states in the Preface, and which is discussed throughout the first chapter, lies in analyzing how these verbal and pictorial modes combine to decipher those abstract concepts which underlie human knowledge
Le evocazioni musicali della parola nella elaborazione poetica di Saverio Mattei
No full textLa studiosa concentra l’attenzione sul contributo
che al tema del rapporto musica-poesia offrì Saverio Mattei, musicologo, erudito, appassionato
cultore dell’antico, traduttore dei salmi biblici in
ariette metastasiane, che operò intensamente a
Napoli nella seconda metà del Settecento, guadagnandosi coi suoi scritti polemiche e consensi, e
intrattenendo rapporti coi personaggi più in vista del mondo musicale e teatrale settecentesco.
L’A. ripercorre rapidamente il lungo percorso
di riflessione che, partendo dai primi scritti sulla
poesia degli Ebrei e dei Greci, trovò il suo approdo definitivo nella dissertazione sulla Filosofia della musica, che si può considerare il momento più alto e compiuto della sua riflessione
teorica. La Dissertazione fu pubblicata nel 1773
e inclusa, non a caso, nel tomo V dei Libri poetici
della Bibbia: era la spia dell’intento di elaborare
una teorica, direttamente funzionale al suo lavoro di traduzione. ll Mattei, profondo conoscitore della lingua e del mondo ebraico, pensò di
adottare, nella traduzione dei salmi, lo stile e il
metro di Anacreonte, scartando tutte quelle
forme metriche a sistema chiuso, non corrispondenti alla natura musicale dell’antica poesia, ben
convinto che solo adeguando il verso poetico al
metro musicale, rendendolo, cioè ‘cantabile’, si
sarebbe raggiunto lo scopo primario, e cioè l’innalzamento dello Spirito. L’obiettivo era quello
di restituire lo spirito vero della poesia davidica,
che risiedeva, appunto, nella capacità di educare
‘allettando’, arrivando così al cuore e all’animo di
tutti. La studiosa sottolinea la forte impronta
etica che caratterizza il suo ‘sistema’ di traduzione, fondato sulla necessità di ripristinare i valori originari della musica antica, recuperando
quella felice sintesi di poesia e musica, di ispirazione e di rettitudine morale, capace di rendere
la poesia utile e istruttiva e la musica ‘filosofica’.
In realtà il Mattei, attraverso la sua singolare
opera di traduzione, esemplifica con chiarezza
l’esistenza di quel rapporto problematico del
moderno con l’antico che percorre tanta parte
del nostro tardo Settecento.The Author focuses attention on the enormous
contribution offered to the theme of the musicpoetry relationship by Saverio Mattei,
musicologist, scholar, passionate lover of the
ancients, translator of biblical psalms into
Metastasian arias, who worked intensely in
Naples in the second half of the eighteenth
century , earning controversy and acclaim with
his writings, and maintaining relationships with
the most prominent figures in the eighteenth century musical and theatrical world. In the
intervention the author quickly retraces the long
path of reflection which, starting from the first
writings on the poetry of the Jews and the Greeks,
found its definitive destination in the
dissertation on the Philosophy of Music,
published in 1773 which can be considered the
highest moment and completed his theoretical
reflection. The Dissertation was published in
1773, and included, not surprisingly, in volume V
of the Poetic Books of the Bible: it was the
indication of his intent to develop a theory,
directly functional to his translation work.
Mattei, a profound expert of the Jewish language
and world, decided to adopt the style and meter
of Anacreon in the translation of the psalms,
discarding all those closed-system metric forms
which did not correspond to the musical nature
of ancient poetry, well convinced that only by
adapting the poetic verse to the musical meter,
making it 'singable', the primary aim would have
been achieved, the elevation of the Spirit. The
intent was to restore the true spirit of Davidic
poetry, which resided, precisely, in the ability to
educate by 'alluring', thus reaching the hearts
and souls of everyone. The scholar underlines
the strong ethical imprint that characterizes her
'system' of translation, founded on the need to
restore the original values of ancient music,
recovering that happy synthesis of poetry and
music, of inspiration and moral rectitude,
capable of making poetry useful and instructive
and the music 'philosophical'. In reality, Mattei,
through his singular work of translation, clearly
exemplifies the existence of that problematic
relationship between the modern and the
ancient which runs through so much of our late
eighteenth century

The ecology of law ::toward a legal system in tune with nature and community /
No full text"At the root of many of the environmental, economic, and social crises we face today is a legal system based on an outdated worldview. In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author, physicist, and systems theorist Fritjof Capra and distinguished legal scholar Ugo Mattei show how, by incorporating concepts from modern science, the law can become an integral part of bringing about a better world. This is the first book to trace the fascinating parallel history of law and science from antiquity to modern times, showing how the two disciplines have always influenced each other - until recently. In the past few years, the scientific paradigm has shifted dramatically, from seeing the natural world as a kind of cosmic machine to understanding it as a network of fluidly interacting communities. But law is stuck in a mechanistic, seventeenth-century view that the world is made up of discrete individual parts. This has led to legal theory focusing on these parts and ignoring the bigger picture - for example, elevating the rights of individual property owners over the good of the community. But Capra and Mattei outline the basic concepts and structures of a legal order consistent with the ecological principles that sustain life on this planet. This is a profound and visionary reconceptualization of the very foundations of the Western legal system, with profound implications for the future of our planet."--Publisher's website
