    Emplacement of the Middle Triassic Monzoni Intrusive Complex (Dolomites, Italy): Insights from Analogue Models and Field Observations

    No full text
    The Dolomites form the central-eastern portion of the Southern Alps, in Northern Italy. The stratigraphic framework of the Dolomitic area includes mainly Permian to Cretaceous terrains, while it is largely dominated by the magnificent Triassic carbonate platforms and basinal systems. The area of the Dolomites recorded several tectonic and magmatic events, from Permian up to Cretaceous. During the Middle Triassic transtensional tectonics, associated with differential subsidence and uplifting, the south-western part of the Dolomites has witnessed a massive and short-lived Ladinian (Middle Triassic) tectono-magmatic event, forming a series of significant magmatic features. The Monzoni, Predazzo and Cima Pape Intrusive Complexes are situated in the southwestern Dolomites and represent the main intrusive expressions of the Ladinian magmatism. This PhD project offers new insights regarding the emplacement mechanisms of the Monzoni Intrusive Complex, by combining fieldwork data and analogue models on magma emplacement. The Monzoni pluton is located parallel to San Pellegrino Valley and appears elongated, with an NE-SW orientation, covering an area of approximately 4.0 km2. The main characteristics of Monzoni pluton, that is the elongated shape and the shoshonitic orogenic affinity, suggest a potential correlation and emplacement control by the Triassic developing and/or reactivated inherited strike-slip structure. The generation, ascent and emplacement of Monzoni pluton and its relation to strike-slip faulting, is still a matter of debate. The lack of direct field observations attributed to the volcano-tectonic activity, keeps the mechanisms of magma–strike-slip fault interactions poorly understood. Updated geological maps, based on field campaign data, bring new insights regarding intrusion, fault-controlled boundaries and deformational pattern of the pluton and host-rock formations. In addition, investigations on anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) on Monzoni pluton, reveal zonation within the pluton and indicate the presence of magmatic feeder in the north-eastern part of the intrusion. Finally, the 3D modelling of the Monzoni Intrusive Complex, projecting all geological data, constrains the pluton’s volume to 4.35km3 and offers a simplified profile-view projection of the pluton/host-rock system. The Monzoni Intrusive Complex, due to its excellent three-dimensional exposure, is particularly suited for the study of volcano-tectonic systems allowing the application and comparison to analogue models. During this project we conducted sandbox-type analogue modelling experiments on magma emplacement along crustal scale strike-slip fault zones. We investigate two tectonic regimes, strike–slip and transtension, and three temporal relationships between magmatism and tectonics; pre-tectonic, syn-tectonic and post-tectonic intrusion. Experimental results show that there is a strong interaction between tectonic structures, evolving or inherited, and magmatism and that the geometrical characteristics of the experimental plutons represent a good indicator for the classification of plutons, defining the timing and tectonic setting of emplacement. The combination of all applied methodologies suggests magmatic emplacement in transtensional tectonic regime with two possible kinematic scenarios; a left lateral strike –slip direction along the N70° fault set or a right-lateral strike slip direction, along the N30° faults.Le Dolomiti formano la parte centro-orientale delle Alpi meridionali, nel Nord Italia. L’organizzazione stratigrafica dell'area dolomitica comprende principalmente terreni dal Permiano al Cretaceo, mentre è in gran parte dominata dalle magnifiche piattaforme carbonatiche triassiche e dai relativi bacini. L'area delle Dolomiti ha registrato numerosi eventi tettonici e magmatici, dal Permiano fino al Cretaceo. Durante la tettonica transtensionale del Triassico medio, associata a subsidenza differenziale, la parte sud-occidentale delle Dolomiti è stata soggetta a un evento tettonico-magmatico Ladinico (Medio Triassico) di breve durata, sviluppando una serie di rilevanti strutture magmatiche. I complessi intrusivi di Monzoni, Predazzo e Cima Pape sono situati nelle Dolomiti sud-occidentali e rappresentano le principali espressioni intrusive del magmatismo Ladinico. Questo progetto di dottorato offre nuove conoscenze sui meccanismi di messa in posto del Complesso Intrusivo dei Monzoni, combinando dati sul campo e modelli analogici su postazioni di magma. Il plutone dei Monzoni, che si trova parallelo alla Valle di San Pellegrino, appare allungato, con orientamento NE-SO, coprendo un'area di circa 4,0 km2. Le principali caratteristiche del plutone dei Monzoni, la forma allungata e l'affinità shoshonitica orogenica, suggeriscono una potenziale correlazione e controllo della messa in posto da parte di strutture trascorrenti ereditate o medio-triassiche. La generazione, l'ascesa e la messa in posto del plutone dei Monzoni e il suo rapporto con le strutture trascorrenti, sono ancora oggetto di dibattito. La mancanza di osservazioni dirette sul campo attribuite all'attività vulcano-tettonica, rende difficile la comprensione dei meccanismi di interazione tra faglie e magmatismo. Le mappe geologiche aggiornate basate sui nuovi dati di terreno, forniscono nuove informazioni sui limiti di intrusione controllati da faglie e sul modello deformativo delle formazioni incassanti e del plutone. Inoltre, indagini su anisotropia di suscettività magnetica (AMS) sull’intrusione dei Monzoni, rivelano la zonazione all'interno del plutone e indicano la presenza di un condotto di alimentazione principale nella parte nord-orientale dell'intrusione. Infine, la modellazione geologica 3D del complesso intrusivo dei Monzoni, coerente con i dati geologici, limita il volume del plutone a 4.35 km3 e offre una visione - semplificata dei rapporti tra plutone e rocce incassanti. Il Complesso Intrusive di Monzoni, grazie alla sua eccellente esposizione tridimensionale, è particolarmente adatto allo studio di sistemi vulcano-tettonici, permettendo anche l'applicazione e il confronto con modelli analogici. Durante questo progetto, sono stati condotti esperimenti di modellazione analogica di tipo sandbox, su lungo zone di taglio trascorrenti a scala crostale. Sono stati distinti due regimi tettonici, trascorrenza pura e transtensione, e tre relazioni temporali tra magmatismo e tettonica; intrusione pre-tettonica, sin-tettonica e post-tettonica. I risultati sperimentali mostrano che esiste una forte interazione tra le strutture tettoniche, in evoluzione o ereditate, ed il magmatismo e che le caratteristiche geometriche dei plutoni sperimentali rappresentano un buon indicatore per la classificazione dei plutoni, definendo i tempi e l'ambiente tettonico della messa in posto. La combinazione di tutte le metodologie applicate, suggerisce la messa in posto del plutone durante un regime tettonico transtensionale con due possibili scenari cinematici; una transtensione sinistra - direzione N70° o una transtensione destra lungo faglie N30°

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    L'emozione non indifferente. Michail Ščepkin e la costruzione del personaggio

    No full text
    Michail Ščepkin was one of the most prominent representatives of early nineteenth-century Russian theatre. After his debut as a serf actor on the provincial stage, Ščepkin achieved his greatest successes in Moscow in the 1930s and 1940s, when the Higher Theatre School was consolidating the progressive idea of educational theatre and forming a new generation of critics, more attentive to and aware of the importance of actors. Ščepkin had stimulating relationships with intellectuals and artists like Granovsky and Gogol', and participated in the gradual renewal of the Russian scene in the name of greater realism. Contemporary critics and later historians have insisted on the ‘naturalness’ and ‘simplicity’ of Ščepkin. However, despite an evident anti-classicist tendency, his style clearly reveals a search for the ‘perfect truth’ for a combination of realism and formal precision. Thus the peculiarity of Ščepkin’s acting lies not in its realistic inclinations, a tendency which was already prominent in Russia, but rather in the definition of the character. Ščepkin implemented a strong portrayal of the character, emotionally saturating it and imbuing it with strong passions. At the same time he gave his characters a psychological complexity that impressed the audience and the critics, even when performing low-level repertoire. This was the case of the Mariner, a banal melodramatic vaudeville that Ščepkin turned into a mere masterpiece thanks to skilful silent scenes and subtle interpretative nuances. The psychological analysis of the role appears therefore as a fundamental element of Ščepkin’s acting technique

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
