The Three Layers of Elia Moutamid’s Cinema
No full textIn this article, the author proposes three layers of film analysis and spectatorship in order to discuss film director Elia Moutamid's oeuvre. The first layer refers to the filmic texts (plots and aesthetics), the second situates the films in their socio-historical and cinematographic contexts, and the third layer relates the films to Plato's simile of the cave, establishing their philosophical quality. The author argues that the interrelation between these various layers attests to the refinement of Moutamid's cinematic production
‘Kontrowersyjna wolnosc. Elia Kazan w amerykanskim przemysle filmowym’ (‘Controversial freedom. Elia Kazan in the US Film Industry’)
No full textThis research based study was peer reviewed and published in the leading film studies journal in Poland.
Elia Kazan is seen as a controversial artist; on the one hand he is regarded as a director of masterpieces, but on the other he is remembered as a “friendly witness” in the 1950s when Hollywood was politically infiltrated by the Senator Joseph McCarthy committee. There is no doubt Kazan was an individualist who had always fought for freedom in the cinema.
The author here shows the artistic road of the director Elia Kazan, his problems with censorship, demonstrating in this way the paradox of democracy and American culture. Research materials included traditional and visual texts from various academic disciplines, including sociology, political studies, and film studies. The piece opens the new research paths for both film studies and American studies in Poland and touches upon contemporary scholarly and political debates

A Comparative Analysis of an East Sakhalin Ainu folktale collected by Bronisław Piłsudski
No full textThis contribution presents a linguistic analysis of an East Sakhalin Ainu folktale collected by Bronisław Piłsudski in 1903. The author bases their analysis on two different versions of the text, which Piłsudski compiled himself using a cyrillic-script-based and a latin-script-based transcription for Ainu. Taking into account two versions of the folktale where different scripts are used proves insightful with regards to phonetics and phonology and, thanks to Piłsudski’s painstakingly accurate transcription, allows for investigation despite the lack of a backup audio recording. Starting from Piłsudski’s originals, the author provides a re-transliteration of the text, following modern standard conventions for Ainu, and a morphemic analysis. A discussion of the most salient grammatical aspects of the informant’s language fol-lows and a comparison with neighboring West Sakhalin Ainu dialects is drawn
Instability and nonuniqueness in mathematical fluid dynamics
No full textIn this note, we review and expand upon the material presented in the minicourse titled "Instability and Nonuniqueness in Fluid Dynamics,"which the author held during the "Meeting on Nonlinear Evolution PDEs, Fluid Dynamics, and Transport Equations"at the Ettore Majorana Centre in Erice in May 2023
Polysemy and apparent polyfunctionality of the Sakhalin Ainu prefixes e- and ko-: Insights on applicativization and aspect
No full textThe present study focuses on the polysemous verbal prefixes e- and ko- of Sakhalin Ainu and proposes their analysis as markers of high transitivity. The author takes a compositional approach to argument structure and event structure in order to account for the main use of e- and ko- as applicative markers as well as for their less common use as markers of resultative-completive and intensive aspect. Ultimately, the analysis shows that the apparent polyfunctionality of e- and ko- arises from two separate applications at the syntax-semantics level of one same underlying function of the prefixes. The author also comments on how the Sakhalin Ainu case fits in with other cases of valence-aspect conceptual overlapping cross-linguistically and on the implications of his findings for Ainu studies specifically
Il tempo della costituzione nel pensiero di Leopoldo Elia
No full textThis is the Author’s presentation at the Conference held on 10 December 2018 at the Sapienza University of Rome in memory of Professor Leopoldo Elia in the tenth anniversary of his death (5 October 2008). It is devoted to Elia’s conception of constitutional time, with the aim of demonstrating that, without giving an explicit theory of the issue, time was crucial in Elia’s thought on the constitution. To this end, the author affords an account of a series of Elia’s contributions, concerning both political institutions and constitutional justice
Elements of Sakhalin Ainu Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphosyntax in Bronisław Piłsudski’s Corpus of Ainu Folklore
No full textIn this paper the author focuses on a number of linguistic features of East Sakhalin Ainu dialects. The language data for this study comes from a collection of traditional Ainu folklore elicited in 1903‐04 and published as Materials for the Study of the Ainu Language and Folklore by Bronisław Piłsudski in 1912. The observations on phonetics, phonology, and morphosyntax will be discussed in light of more recent data coming from West Sakhalin Ainu dialects collected in the 1960s‐1970s. This will allow for a brief consideration of the dialectal differences occurring between the two dialect subgroups as well as of the possible path of language development that took place during the 60‐70 years that separate the two sources. The aim of the author is to highlight how a thorough descriptive work on old sources of an indigenous, minority language like Ainu can give to East Asian historical linguistics and to linguistic typology more generally
The author as gesture in Elia Levita’s “Bovo-Bukh”
No full textThe paper contains a study case on how ethics influence aesthetics in a literary work. Through a comparison of a Venetian chivalry romance printed in the late 15th century with the Yiddish adaptation of the same Elia Levita originally wrote in Padua in 1507, and then published in Isny, Württemberg in 1541, several differing points are undelined which mirror differences in the relative ethical frameworks of reference. While the characters and the main storyline are substantially the same in both works, the different details in the unfolding of the plot of the Yiddish version show that Levita wrote for a public who shared a different axiology, that is he authored a totally new romance, performing in accordance with the ethical system which his potential readers referred to. This ‘gesture’ in the classical Latin sense of representing a moral background while issuing a literary work carries along both a syncretistic approach to religion and an attitude more respectful of gender equality than the Venetian original does
