Il passato dell'arte in Hegel e Shakespeare
No full textMoving from the parallel between the Epilogue of Shakespeare’s Tempest and the end of Hegel’s Lectures on Fine art, Kottman analyses a fundamental theme of the Hegelian aesthetic thought: the “past character of art”. In the first part of the paper, the author aims to highlight Shakespeare’s importance for Hegel’s Aesthetics, showing that the former appears to anticipate the conscience of the pastness of art in his dramas. Subsequently, the author discusses Pippin’s central thesis that considers Hegel’s assertion of the pastness of art a great contradiction in the Hegelian system. In opposition to this reading, Kottman understands the pastness of art as an internal phenomenon of art itself: it is the way in which art enters into history. Finally, Kottman analyses the Epilogue of the Tempest in order to show how Shakespeare can help us better understand the role of art in its realization as something historical. Translated by Elena Romagnoli from P. Kottman, Hegel, Shakespeare and the pastness of art, in P. Kottman e M. Squire (a cura di), The Art of Hegel’s Aesthetics.

From a Remote Pedestal to Everyday Life
No full textIn this paper I tackle Gadamer’s and Dewey’s conceptions of art, showing a possible dialogue between American Pragmatism and Gadamerian Hermeneutics. Despite the obvious differences, it is possible to show fundamental commonalities between the two philosophies when it comes to the role of art. They share the double goal of critiquing the aestheticism of modern age, the conception of art as a mere “art for art’s sake,” and of recomposing the continuity between aesthetic experience and everyday life. I argue that this common goal entails a reassessment of the relation between the work of art and the public, a reassessment that has fundamental consequences for the role of art in our societies. The present comparison will also help shed new light on Gadamer’s conception, often accused of being a merely conversative theory. For both Gadamer and Dewey art does not consist in a product of the elites that is given to the spectators: rather, the spectators cooperate with the author in the creation and development of the work of art itself
Adapting and Reacting to Measure an Extreme Event: A Methodology to Measure Disaster Community Resilience
No full textAbstractThe 2005 UN Hyogo Declaration introduced the concept of resilience in the field of disaster risk reduction (DRR) unifying environmental sustainability and civil protection concepts. Crucial in this new approach is the development of a new quantitative adaptive strategy, which starting from the risk analysis of a territory, aims at strengthening a symbiotic and adaptive relationship between human communities and their surrounds. This paradigmatic shift needs new analytical and measuring tools in order to describe, evaluate and develop sustainable DRR strategies. Traditional cartographic tools, such as hazard, vulnerability, or risk maps, cannot appropriately represent the overall resilience of a territory (inclusive of its social and environmental dimensions). This article proposes a methodological approach to map such community resilience by assessing energy and resource consumption to maintain the stability of the social-ecological system. Starting from the identification of the complex relations between socioeconomic processes and disasters, this method computes a resilience score or index, integrating hazard and vulnerability factors with emergency management actions (e.g. community planning, mitigation and disaster response capabilities). Such index will enable, inter-alia, the drawing of maps of resilience, necessary to planners and policy makers to assess the effects and sustainability of different DRR strategies and policies
Paesaggi di carta. I calanchi romagnoli nei disegni di Romolo Liverani
No full textRomolo Liverani (1809-1872) was an artist from Faenza, who dealt with landscape painting in Romagna Region around the middle of the 19th century. His works, collected in notebooks now mainly conserved in the Art Gallery of Faenza, the Faenza Municipal Library and the Forlì Municipal Library, Piancastelli Collection, were taken en plein air in the framework of field trips in rural areas. The paper will focus on drawings representing the bandlands (in Italian, ‘calanchi’) of the Argille Azzurre Formation, a Plio-Pleistocene clay outcrop located in the lower Apennine of Faenza (Province of Ravenna, Northern Italy): a rugged landscape characterized by landslides and a low human density, close to the philosophical and aestethic concepts of Romanticism and Sublime, in which Liverani was used to recognize himself. In particular, Liverani’s drawings of the badlands of Mt. Querzola (located at the border between the Municipalities of Castelbolognese and Riolo Terme), so far unpublished, will be discussed: the author gave emphasis to this landscape in his works, as he was impressed by the absence of vegetation and the rough geomorphologies of the area
Tobacco in the Erbario Estense and other Renaissance evidence of the Columbian taxon in Italy
No full textThe Erbario Estense, preserved in the Archivio Segreto Estense (Modena State Archives, Italy), is one of the very few sixteenth century herbaria still existing today. Among its exsiccata are a dozen species coming from the Americas, one of which is tobacco. The author of the specimen calls the plant Tabacho, ouer Herba Regina; Camus and Penzig, in the late nineteenth century, identify it as Nicotiana tabacum and affirm that it could be the most ancient direct proof of the presence of this plant in Italy. Today, attribution of the specimen to the above-mentioned species is certain and, according to the studies carried out for the present research, only three other sixteenth century exsiccata of N. tabacum still exist, all of them preserved in the Erbario Aldrovandi in Bologna. Therefore, the specimen of the Erbario Estense is extremely precious from a historical and scientific viewpoint. Tobacco was certainly known by the simplists who were working at that epoch in the lively scientific and medical environment of Ferrara, even if, according to documentary sources, real pharmacological use of the plant seems to have taken place only in successive phases
The metallurgical French immigrants in the origins of the wine model of Mendoza and San Juan, Argentine (1885-1930)
No full textL’étude trace un panorama sur le rôle accompli par un groupe, réduit mais actif, d’immigrants métallurgistes français, aux origines du modèle vitivinicole de Mendoza et San Juan, deux provinces situées au Centre-Ouest du pays et qui constituent la région fondamentale vitivinicole argentine. Le cadre temporel correspond à la période 1885-1930, c’est-à-dire entre la connexion ferroviaire de ces deux provinces avec Buenos Aires et la grande crise de 1930. On essaie d’identifier les fondateurs et les propriétaires des ateliers réparateurs et producteurs d’équipements agricoles pour les bodegas et distilleries industrielles, et aussi de montrer quelques traits de leur activité. Le travail repose sur des enquêtes réalisées par l’auteur auprès d’informateurs qualifiés, et tout particulièrement les descendants des fondateurs et propriétaires de certains ateliers. Les sources existantes ont également été consultées dans des archives et bibliothèques provinciales et nationales de Mendoza, San Juan et Buenos Aires.The study outlines a panorama on the role fulfilled by a limited but active group of metallurgical French immigrants in the origins of the wine model of Mendoza and San Juan, two provinces placed in the Argentine Center-West, that constitute the principal Argentine wine region. The temporary frame understands the period 1885-1930, between the railway connection of both provinces with Buenos Aires, and the great crisis of 1930. We try to identify founders and owners of repair workshops and producers of agricultural equipments for wineries and industrial distilleries, and also to show some features of their activity. The work rests on surveys realized by the author to qualified informants and particularly to descendants of founders and owners of some workshops. Likewise, existing sources were consulted in provincial and national archives and libraries of Mendoza, San Juan and Buenos Aires.Fil: Pérez Romagnoli, Eduardo Emilio.
