    Uma cena de Fausto

    No full text
    O assunto fáustico atravessa a obra de Púchkin. Ainda que o autor não tenha tido contato com a segunda parte da tragédia de Goethe, é possível enxergar inúmeros paralelismos do “fomentador” Fausto, nas palavras de Marshall Berman, em O Cavaleiro de Bronze. Em “Uma cena de Fausto”, Púchkin recorre a alguns motivos da história do homem que vendeu a alma ao diabo, os principais são: o esquecimento e o tédio do homem sem limites. Este que é ampliado na composição de Púchkin, para representar, como é típico do autor, temas estrangeiros tendo em vista necessidades históricas do seu país. Na presente tradução, optou-se por uma versão prosaica da “Cena de Fausto”.The faustian subject runs through Pushkin\u27s work. Even though the author has not had contact with the second part of Goethe\u27s tragedy, it is possible to see countless parallels of “The Developer” Faust, in the words of Marshall Berman, in The Bronze Horseman. In “A scene from Faust”, Pushkin resorts to some motifs from the story of the man who sold his soul to the devil, the main ones being: forgetfulness and the boredom of the man without limits. This one is expanded in Pushkin\u27s composition, to represent, as is typical of the author, foreign themes in view of the historical needs of his country. In the present translation, a prosaic version of the “Scene from Faust” was chosen

    È meglio pedalare. Le performance cinematografiche di Fausto Coppi

    No full text
    In 1948 Fausto Coppi took part in the film Totò al Giro d’Italia by Mario Mattoli, with the actors Totò, Isa Barzizza, Walter Chiari, Mario Riva and Mario Castellani. The film is the only one dedicated to the most prestigious Italian cycling race in the world. Other sports champions from different disciplines take part to the movie: Giacomo Di Segni (boxer), Giuseppe Tosi (discobolus), Amos Matteucci (javelin player), the racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, and many cycling champions: Gino Bartali, Louison Bobet, Ferdy Kubler, Fiorenzo Magni, Briek Schotte, Vito Ortelli, Giordano Cottur and Mario Ricci. 1948 is the year of the first political elections of Republican Italy and the country is divided into two main camps: the Christian Democrats Party (Democrazia cristiana) and the Popular Front, communist and socialist parties (Partico comunista e Partito socialista). In the film the two sides are reflected in the division of fans for the two cycling champions: Bartali as the champion of Catholics and Coppi for the other side.The figure of Fausto Coppi, already known for his sporting achievements through the radio and the press, thus finds greater and lasting visibility in the film, which allows him to reach a wider audience. The film is an important historical document for its ability to point out social aspects of the era in which it was produced. The movie reflects how cycling and its champions entered the collective imagination of post-war Italian audiences

    Fausto Sozzini, la mortalità d’Adamo e la teologia moderna

    No full text
    Fausto Sozzini, Adam's Mortality and Early Modern Theology. In his dispute with Francesco Pucci, Fausto Sozzini argues that man was not created immortal but, being by nature subject to death, he could be made perpetually immune only through divine grace, which was a gift not included in his creation. It has thus been suggested that the Pucci-Sozzini querelle should be read as an expression of the broader debate that opposed the two 'souls' of modern theology, that is the Thomistic and the Augustinian. By reconstructing the late medieval theological debate on the mortality of Adam in the condition of innocence, the Author tries to show that Sozzini's theses are greatly indebted to Duns Scotus' criticisms of Thomas Aquinas

    Quality Education and "quality papers"

    No full text
    Attending seminars, Conferences, looking at "television lessons" the author saw many times many people (often Professors) that did not know the matter they were talking about. Nevertheless they write papers, suggest books to students, provide lessons, make consultancy. Visiting Companies the author saw many times many Companies lacking Quality of Management, a huge problem against Quality achievement. To overcome this paramount drawback there is a MUST: Quality Education on Quality for Managers (particularly future Managers, now Students in Higher Education). For Higher Education Institutions, this means that professors MUST teach, in a correct and scientific way, Quality ideas on Quality. To be real Managers, Management need to grow-up their knowledge because experience alone, without theory, teaches nothing what to do to make Quality. For Higher Education Institutions, this means that professors MUST learn Quality ideas on Quality Management, in a correct and scientific way. In the paper, as already done several times, we present some new cases (out of the hundreds known to the author) where professors were acting with disquality. Would that be useful

    Does "Peer Review" assure Quality of papers and Education?

    Attending seminars, Conferences, looking at "television lessons" the author saw many times many people (often Professors) that did not know the matter they were talking about; nevertheless they write papers, suggest books to students, provide lessons, make consultancy. Visiting Companies the author saw many times many Companies lacking Quality of Management, a huge problem against Quality achievement. Many people (often Professors) think that Quality in written documents is assured by the "Peer Review Process" carried out by members of "international scientific community", "distinguished colleagues, whose achievements and academic standing is well above …", and that "Quality of teaching" is assured by their "academic standing well above …". To be real Managers, Management need to grow-up their knowledge because experience alone, without theory, teaches nothing what to do to make Quality. For Higher Education Institutions, this means that professors MUST learn Quality ideas on Quality Management, in a correct and scientific way. In the paper, as already done several times, we present some other cases (out of the hundreds known to the author) where professors (and referees, as well) were acting with disquality. Would that be useful? Only God knows it

    Ritorno al Pireo. Alcune riflessioni sull'organizzazione urbana e sulla cronologia dell'impianto

    No full text
    In this paper the author discusses the town plan of Piraeus to shed further light on some aspects he already examined in a previous article (Longo 2008). Starting from the most recent archaeological data that were overlooked in some recent studies, and the literary and epigraphic documentation, the author attempts to capture the essential elements informing the development plan of Hippodamus of Miletus, viz., functionality and the likely pre-existence of the main street axes; the characteristics of the urban grid; a clear demarcation of public and private spaces; and the issue of the location of the two agorai mentioned in literary sources. In questo contributo l’Autore riprende la discussione sull’urbanistica del Pireo chiarendo e precisando aspetti in parte già affrontati in un precedente articolo (Longo 2008). Partendo dai dati archeologici più recenti, poco valorizzati in alcune sintesi di questi ultimi anni, e dalla documentazione letteraria ed epigrafica, l’Autore cerca di cogliere gli elementi essenziali che sono alla base del progetto urbanistico di Ippodamo di Mileto: funzionalità e probabile preesistenza degli assi viari principali; caratteristiche della griglia urbana; netta delimitazione degli spazi pubblici e privati; cronologia dell’impianto; problema della localizzazione delle due agorai menzionate nelle fonti letterarie

    Terpandrean Hypotexts in Aristophanes

    No full text
    Starting from the contest of Aeschylus and Euripides in "Frogs", where the author exploits the divergence between the traditional citharodic code and the innovative poetic-musical trends of his time, in order to set forth his critique of tragic drama by throwing the chosen opposing models into high relief (vv. 1248 ff.), the analysis of Aristophanic songs modelled on Terpander’s nomoi and specially on the orthios (Nu. 595; fr. 62 [= 590?] Kassel-Austin; and possibly three times in fr. 591 Kassel-Austin) consolidates the idea that the playwright developed a definite semantics of the lyrical hypotexts
