    »It contained harbours that pleased me like sonnets«. Kleine Poetik der diegetischen Karte

    No full text
    In this article, Federico Italiano explores the relationship between literature and cartography. Beginning with Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the author frames the topic through a general theoretical lens on the spatial dimension of literary texts. He then focuses on a specific phenomenon of literary "carticity"—the diegetic presence of the map, that is, the map as an integral element of the narrative structure. Among others, Italiano examines the works of Houellebecq and Cormac McCarthy

    Aneddoti e ricette a corte di Federico II nel XXI secolo : il buon cibo e il buon bere nel più antico Ateneo pubblico al mondo

    No full text
    [Italiano]: Questo volume rappresenta la finalizzazione di una iniziativa nata, condivisa ed interamente realizzata all'interno del gruppo social dei "Prof in cucina e in Cantina", che ha inteso raccogliere ricette e descrizioni aneddotiche di singoli Autori, appartenenti ai ruoli del personale docente e tecnico-amministrativo-bibliotecario dell'Ateneo federiciano, il più antico Ateneo pubblico al mondo. Aneddoti e ricette forniscono spaccati di vita quotidiana e ricostruzioni di eventi che hanno accompagnato gli Autori nei diversi percorsi formativi, sociali e lavorativi, e che non escludono riferimenti al recente periodo emergenziale della pandemia COVID-19. Ad introdurre il Volume è un menù federiciano, con una proposta di 3 pietanze che attualizzano ricette ed abitubini alimentari dell'epoca, e che hanno come riferimento il Liber de coquina, edito a corte di Federico II. Gli 8 Capitoli del volume raggruppano ricette e aneddoti per categorie, e ciascuno di essi è poi preceduto da un breve inserto con ulteriori riferimenti storici all'alimentazione a Corte di Federico II. Così, atmosfere vecchie e nuove, accompagnate dal sentore di aromi e da suggestioni ispirate al vissuto di ciascun Autore, si fondono per offrire a Lettrici e Lettori frammenti di quotidianità vissuti oggi a corte di Federico II, nel XXI secolo./[English]: The Volume represents the endpoint of a recent initiative, which was conceived, shared and fully realized within the social group of the "Prof in Cucina e in Cantina". Here, the several Authors, represented by the teaching and the technical/administrative/librarian staff of the Federico II University in Naples, the oldest public University in the world, propose recipes and anecdotal descriptions of their educational, social and work-related paths, including some episodes from the recent COVID-19 pandemic. A menu inspired to Frederick II introduces the book, with 3 recipes inspired to the Liber de coquina, a cooking manual compiled at the Emperor's court. Each of the following 8 thematic chapters of the book is also anticipated by a brief insert reporting historical reconstructions of the alimentary habits at the court of Frederick II. Thus, old and new atmospheres, accompanied by the scent of aromas and suggestions inspired by the experience of each Author, come together to offer Readers fragments of everyday life at the court of Frederick II, in the 21st century

    The UN convention on the law of the sea: an inefficient public good supplied by an inefficient organization

    No full text
    The Convention on the Law of the Sea is the still controversial outcome of the longest and perhaps most expensive international conference of the century. The most debated issue at UNCLOS III was the Convention's regime to govern seabed mining; differences of opinion on this regime have seriously challenged the purpose of the Conference and are likely to keep the Convention from becoming effective as international law. This paper is an inquiry into the economic causes for such an outcome. In Section II the efficieny of the Convention's regulation for minerals production from the ocean bed is analyzed. Section III deals with the efficiency of the Convention's production process at UNCLOS, focusing on the determinants of voting behaviour and on the rules of procedure used. The last section explores the rationale for alternative multilateral organizations for an efficient management of seabed mining.

    Federico De Roberto, «L’imperio»

    Il breve saggio analizza l'incipit dell'Imperio di Federico De Roberto mettendo a fuoco come l'Autore riesca a dare una rappresentazione teatrale del parlamento e, con ciò, a desacralizzarne la funzione politica e a ridicolizzarne i principali attori: i parlamentari. Questo incipit è ovviamente funzionale alla successiva narrazione della progressiva delusione politica di Ranaldi.The short essay examines the incipit of "L'imperio" by Federico De Roberto focusing on how the author manages to give a theatrical performance of the parliament and, thereby, to desecration and ridiculing the political function of the main actors: the parliamentarians. This incipit is obviously functional to the narration of the progressive political disappointment of Ranaldi

    Il 'Vocabolario ornitologico napolitano-italiano' (1874) e il 'Vocabolario botanico napolitano' (1887) di Federico Gusumpaur

    The paper analyses two bilingual (Neapolitan-Italian) sectoral repertoires by Federico Gusumpaur: the Vocabolario ornitologico napolitano-italiano (1874) and the Vocabolario botanico napolitano (1887). After some remarks on the author, whose basic biographical data are unknown, I will describe the main characteristics of the two repertoires: the criteria used, the glossing system, the probable sources, and the destination. I will also focus on the differences between the two vocabularies, which consist in the presence of two alphabetical indices (Latin-Neapolitan and Italian-Neapolitan) in the Vocabolario botanico napolitano and the non-merely local destination of this second repertoire.Il contributo si concentra su due repertori settoriali bilingui (napoletano-italiano) redatti da Federico Gusumpaur: il Vocabolario ornitologico napolitano-italiano (1874) e il Vocabolario botanico napolitano (1887). Dopo alcuni cenni sull’autore, del quale non sono noti i dati biografici fondamentali, si presentano le caratteristiche principali dei due repertori: i criteri adottati, il sistema di glossatura, le probabili fonti, la destinazione. Si mettono inoltre a fuoco le differenze tra i due vocabolari, che consistono nella presenza di due indici alfabetici (latino-napoletano e italiano-napoletano) nel Vocabolario botanico napolitano e nella destinazione non solo locale di questo secondo repertorio

    Massekhet Keritot. Text, Translation and Commentary. A Feminist Commentary on the Babylonian Talmud

    No full text
    The tractate Keritot of the Babylonian Talmud belongs to the Order of Qodashim in the Mishnah. It discusses the Temple and its rituals, especially sacrifices, but deals mostly with laws of incest, sexual transgressions, childbirth, and miscarriages. In this commentary, Federico Dal Bo provides a historical, philological and philosophical investigation on these gender issues. He discusses almost the entire tractate, referring to many other sources, Jewish (the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Sifra, and other rabbinic texts) as well as non-Jewish (Akkadian, Hittite, and Ugaritic). The author also provides accurate philological observations both on the Mishnah and the Gemara. Finally, he addresses gender issues by combining a reductionistic approach to Talmudic study (the so called "Brisker method") with philosophical deconstruction. Dal Bo shows that in nearly the entire tractate Keritot the rabbis discuss human sexuality in a tendentious and restrictive way, claiming that heterosexuality is the only proper sexual contact and progressively stigmatizing any other kind of sexual behavior
