The hidden author: an interpretation of Petronius' Satyricon
No full textThe Satyricon of Petronius, a comic novel written in the first century A.D., is famous today primarily for its amazing banquet tale, "Trimalchio's Feast." But this episode is only one part of the larger picture of life during Nero's rule presented in the work. In this accessible discussion of Petronius's masterful use of parody, Gian Biagio Conte offers an interpretation of the Satyricon as a whole. He combines the scholarly precision of close reading with a significant, original theoretical model.At the heart of his interpretation, Conte reveals the technique of the "hidden author" that Petronius employs at the expense of his characters, in particular the teller of the story, Enclopius. By remaining hidden outside the narrative, Petronius invites the reader to smile at the folies de grandeur that occur in a culture of scholars and declaimers. Yet as Conte shows, behind the parody and inexhaustible humor of the Satyricon lies an unexpectedly serious lament. For those familiar with the Satyricon, as well as for new readers, Conte's book will be a reliable, enjoyable guide to the wonders the Satyricon contains

Il lessico politico negli «Ammaestramenti degli antichi» di Bartolomeo da San Concordio
No full textThe vernacular translation of the Documenta antiquorum by Bartolomew of Santo Concordio represents a rare testimony of an auto-translation performed in Florence between the 13th and the 14th centuries. The very coincidence of the author and the translator in the same person reveals the programmatic character of the drafting of this text in vulgar, and the connection with the choice for an opening to the Tuscan vernacular of such a moral and edifying work, and as part of the project of diffusion and circulation of moral thought, intentionally undertaken by the mendicant Orders. Through a conceptual comparison with the contemporary political treaties by Remigio de’ Girolami and Tolomeo da Lucca, and the linguistic analysis of the translation choices in the semantic field of politics (compared with the vulgar translation of Sallustius and the works of the most important vulgar translators of the Duecento), the article observes that in the Ammaestramenti degli Antichi the main concern is towards actualization. The translation wants to display the classical world and the religious examples as a mirror of the Italian municipal society. To achieve this objective, the author needs to create a context that is readily intelligible and immediately recognizable by the reader, whether he is a cleric or a layman

SUSTAINABILITY AND CULTURAL CAPITAL: AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
No full textThe quest for sustainable development in the building sector has greatly improved the sustainability of buildings through energy efficiency and use of renewable resources. However, green buildings are not the only objects in the built environment, and environmental sustainability is not the only aspect to be pursued for sustainable development. The author claims that, to improve an overall real sustainability, we need to introduce the cultural capital, which is now disregarded, in the interpretation of the built environment so that physical and temporal scales can be reconnected and continuity of the process of development can be ensured. Starting from this premise, the paper is organised into three main sections: the first represents two key interpretations of the built environment; the second discusses the limits of such interpretations through the example of sustainable buildings; the third explains why the cultural capital can be considered an opportunity to improve sustainability of the built environment
