<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br>Scenarios have emerged as valuable tools in managing complex human-natural systems, but the traditional approach of limiting focus on a small number of predetermined scenarios can inadvertently miss consequential dynamics, extremes, and diverse stakeholder impacts. Exploratory modeling approaches have been developed to address these issues by exploring a wide range of possible futures and identifying those that yield consequential vulnerabilities. However, vulnerabilities are typically identified based on aggregate robustness measures that do not take full advantage of the richness of the underlying dynamics in the large ensembles of model simulations and can make it hard to identify key dynamics and/or storylines that can guide planning or further analyses. This study introduces the FRamework for Narrative Storylines and Impact Classification (FRNSIC; pronounced ``forensic''): a scenario discovery framework that addresses these challenges by organizing and investigating consequential scenarios using hierarchical classification of diverse outcomes across actors, sectors, and scales, while also aiding in the selection of scenario storylines, based on system dynamics that drive consequential outcomes. We present an application of this framework to the Upper Colorado River Basin, focusing on decadal droughts and their water scarcity implications for the basin’s diverse users and its obligations to downstream states through Lake Powell. We show how FRNSIC can explore alternative sets of impact metrics and drought dynamics and use them to identify drought scenario storylines, that can be used to inform future adaptation planning.</p>

Las ‘luces’ de Sara Th***: María Antonia de Río Arnedo y su traducción dieciochesca del Marqués de Saint-Lambert
No full textIn 1795, María Antonia de Río y Arnedo translated Saint-Lambert’s novel Sara Th*** (1765). This is the first translation into Spanish of a work written by this French philosopher, poet and encyclopaedist, self-confessed materialist and suspected atheist, and also the first literary endeavour by the Spanish writer. In her translation, Maria Antonia de Río naturalizes the secular and ‘philosophical’ substance of the French novel, offering her readers a more ‘Spanish’ and –apparently– ‘feminine’ version, where a natural moral, based on the human need for happiness and the controlled fulfilment of instincts, is claimed by his author. Obviously, a novel like this one was possible in the pre-Revolutionary French context, but deemed unacceptable in Spain at the turn of the 18th century, especially if the translator was a woman.En 1795, María Antonia de Río y Arnedo vierte al español la novela ‘inglesa’ Sara Th*** (1765) del Marqués de Saint-Lambert, que se convierte en la primera traducción a nuestro idioma de una obra de este filósofo, poeta y enciclopedista francés, materialista y sospechoso de ateísmo, y que es también el primer ejercicio literario de la escritora española. Ante el espíritu laico y peligrosamente «filosófico» del texto original, María Antonia de Río se emplea a fondo para nacionalizarlo, ofreciendo una versión más «española» y aparentemente «femenina» de una obra como ésta, defensora de una moral natural apoyada en la exigencia de felicidad y en la satisfacción controlada de los instintos, viable en el contexto axiológico de la Francia prerrevolucionaria pero inadmisible en la España vigilante e inflexible del cambio de siglo, menos aún en la pluma de una mujer

La regina algida e l’insidia delle passioni. Note sul teatro di Antonia Fontana e Maria Antonia Scalera
No full textThe article focuses on the representation of passions in the dramatic plays of two late seventeenth-century female playwrights, Antonia Fontana and Maria Antonia Scalera. By examining Fontana’s musical drama Erginda (1680), performed in the Contarini estate in Piazzola sul Brenta, and Maria Antonia Scalera’s tragicomedy Il Coraspe redivo (1683) for the court of Ariccia, presided over by Agostino Chigi, the author individuates a similar approach to the stage of the female protagonist. Both plays, in giving shape to a frigid queen, allow in the end to accept love after a sort of sentimental education. They configure a new paradigm of woman, affected both by the tradition of seventeenth-century Venetian
female literature, and by Descartes’ Passions de l’âme, spread in Rome by Christina of Sweden
ONCE MORE ABOUT ANTONIA TRYPHAINA
No full textAs a king’s daughter, a king’s wife and the mother of kings, Antonia Tryphaina played a major role in the kinship ties of the ruling circles in the Julio-Claudian period. Although her name did not go unnoticed in scholarly literature, this great-granddaughter of M. Antonius has quite undeservedly been regarded as a historical figure of secondary importance. Besides, her treatments tend to show by numerous inaccuracies and much speculation. The author therefore felt that a new investigation was required, though he unexpectedly found himself involved in a more complex scrutiny than previous studies had let him foresee.</span
Thomas Aquinas on Bodily Identity by Antonia Fitzpatrick
No full textAntonia Fitzpatrick argues clearly throughout Thomas Aquinas on Bodily Identity that the Dominican saint never consistently achieves a coherent, unified understanding of the nature of the continuity of bod-ily matter across the human lifespan, death, and future resurrection. This inconsistency stems largely from Aquinas relying partly on Aris-totle and partly on Averroes’ commentary on the ancient philosopher without ever committing to either, the author comes to conclude. .
