Blood, blasphemy and bad dads: blasphemy and The Cenci
No full textThe Cenci’s themes of incest, sexual violence and religious irreverence invited many contemporary accusations of blasphemy. This article nevertheless contends that blasphemy is also a significant concept within the play itself; accusations of blasphemy are perceived as a fraudulent way to shore up seemingly unimpeachable existing, tyrannical political systems. In this way, such charges in the drama are curiously metafictional, not only seeming to anticipate the play’s own reception but to reflect on the application of a revolutionary poetics to the politics of Shelley’s own time. This article suggests that in its exploration and critique of power, The Cenci reveals Shelley’s conception of the intersection between, and mutual interdependence of, political, religious and patriarchal tyranny. This article concludes that, for Shelley, it is in unpacking and rejecting the reverence placed on these interlocking sacred systems of authority, what may be labelled as “blaspheming”, that is an ultimately necessary part of any successful revolutionary poetics

A Critical Study of The Cenci
No full textConsciously or unconsciously an author's literary work reflects his experiences and his reaction to these experiences. Because the personal history of the author is inseparable from his works, a study of The Cenci would be incomplete without a review of the background of Shelley's life, some of the philosophies which interested him, and the political and social movements with which he concerned himself

Exciting the Sublime: Terror, Interiority, and the Power of Shelley in The Cenci
No full textabstract: The most horrific, darkest, and powerful forms of the sublime take place inside the enclosure of the human psyche; the interior of the mind is the playground for the sublime--not the crag and canyon filled natural world. For Immanuel Kant and Edmund Burke, the driving force of the power of the sublime stems from the feelings of pain and fear: where is that more manifested than in the mind? Unlike the common, traditional, and overwhelmed discussion of Percy Shelley and his contemporaries and the power of the sublime in nature, I will argue that in The Cenci, Shelley, through well-chosen diction and precise composition of terrifying images, fashions characters and scenes in an emotion-driven play that elevates the mind of the reader to a transcendent sublime experience. Through a discussion of the theories of the aesthetic of the sublime laid out by Longinus, Burke, and Kant, I will provide a foundation for the later discussion of the rhetorical sublime evoked by Shelley in the ardent and horrifying play that is The Cenci. Looking at the conventional application of the theories of the sublime to romantic writing will make evident the holes in the discussion of the sublime and romantic writings that have almost forgotten the powerful and psychological rhetorical aspect of the sublime that is emphasized in the theoretical writings of both Burke and Kant. To clarify what is traditionally associated with Shelley and the sublime, a brief analysis of the Shelleyean sublime and Shelley's 1816 poem "Mont Blanc" will prepare the reader for an unconventional, but every bit important and powerful, function of the sublime in the 1819 play The Cenci based on the horrific happenings of a historical 16th century Italian noble family.Dissertation/ThesisM.A. English 201
L'entrata di un magazzino romano sotto la chiesa di San Tommaso ai Cenci

Nei sotterranei della chiesa di S. Tommaso ai Cenci a Roma, sono conservati alcuni muri antichi finora attribuiti alle sostruzioni del pronao del tempio dei Dioscuri in circo Flaminio (costruito nel I secolo a.C.) la cui pianta ci è tramandata dalla pianta di via Anicia, scoperta in Trastevere nel 1983. In realtà tali muri sono pertinenti ai magazzini che si trovavano a ovest del tempio : in particolare, è ben conservata la parte alta di una facciata, databile tra la fine del I e l'inizio II secolo d.C, caratterizzata da una porta sormontata da un frontone in laterizio e da una finestra. Questi resti dimostrano che il tempio dei Dioscuri non può essere ubicato in corrispondenza della chiesa di S. Tommaso ai Cenci ma verosimilmente più ad est, all'interno dell'isolato con i quattro villini edificati all'inizio del '900
(v. retro) sull'area occupata in epoca moderna dalle Cinque Scole ebraiche. Le strut-ture conservate sotto la chiesa sono una rara testimonianza della trasformazione dell'area del circo Flaminio avvenuta in età imperiale, quando la fascia verso il Tevere fu caratterizzata da un'edilizia di tipo commerciale.Tucci Pier Luigi.

Incidental detection of an in situ lobular carcinoma during the study of an intramammary lymph node: Utility of FNA cytology. A case report
No full textAnticancer Res. 1998 Jul-Aug;18(4B):2875-6. Incidental detection of an in situ lobular carcinoma during the study of an intramammary lymph node: utility of FNA cytology. A case report. De Iorio P, Cenci M, Midulla C, Amanti C, Vecchione A. Source Dipartimento di Medicina Sperimentale e Patologia, Università La Sapienza Rome, Italy. Abstract Intramammary lymph nodes appear in routine mammograms and are present in about 5% of patients undergoing mammography. Normal lymph nodes appear with ultrasonography, as well defined echo-poor masses with echogenic centers. This case report is an example of ultrasonography guided with FNA cytology in the diagnostic procedure of non-palpable breast lesions on an outpatient basis and choice of adequate therapy.
