Scepsi e mito in Remo Cantoni
No full textSkepticism and Myth in Remo Cantoni. The author examines three essays by Remo Cantoni (1914-1978), written in the 1940s, which focus on the relationship between skepticism and myth. The author argues that, for Cantoni, skepticism and myth represent two fundamental polarities of thought. The hypothesis that reason might ultimately overcome myth is, according to Cantoni, erroneous. Instead, the author emphasizes that Cantoni considers a phenomenology of myth essential for understanding it as a necessary dimension in the life of the spirit. According to the author, Cantoni is a philosopher who seeks to interpret the crisis of values and science, striving to remain within a rationalistic framework

Resistant Nonparametric Smoothing with S-PLUS
No full textIn this paper we introduce and illustrate the use of an S-PLUS set of functions to fit M-type smoothing splines with the smoothing parameter chosen by a robust criterion (either a robust version of cross-validation or a robust version of Mallows's Cp ). The main reference is: Cantoni, E. and Ronchetti, E. (2001). Resistant selection of the smoothing parameter for smoothing splines. Statistics and Computing, 11, 141-146.
Testimoniar el vacío más allá de la catástrofe lingüística. Conjunto vacío de Verónica Gerber Bicecci
No full textThis essay aims to analyze the novel Conjunto vacío (2015) by the argenmex visual artist Verónica Gerber Bicecci, investigating the strategies chosen by the author to testify the trauma of argentine exile in Mexico in the aftermath of the last civic-military dictatorship. Starting with some considerations about the argenmex identity, it will be shown how exile turns into a “linguistic catastrophe” (Gatti), due to the representational impossibility it imposes on the word. The problem roots in the void of sense imposed by the exile trauma, which the word always tries to fill. To give account of this void, Gerber Bicecci recurs to the mathematical theory of sets, due to its ability to conceive the void without risking filling it. The mathematical categories of sets enter the text through their graphic representations: Venn’s diagrams drawn by the author. The universal reach of the graphic code allows the abstraction of the novel’s protagonist’s experience from this representational frame, which fits for the experience of every subject who suffered exile, creating a ‘community of exile’, which we will analyze through the theoretical proposals of the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito. In the end, the tight link between written word and graphic representation will justify the qualification of Conjunto vacío in terms of ‘multimedia testimony’.El presente ensayo se propone analizar la novela Conjunto vacío (2015) de la artista visual argenmex Verónica Gerber Bicecci, indagando las estrategias que la autora elige para testimoniar el trauma del exilio argentino en México después de la última dictadura cívico-militar. A partir de una reflexión sobre la identidad argenmex, se mostrará como el exilio se convierte en “catástrofe lingüística” (Gatti) al quebrar las posibilidades representativas de la palabra, imponiendo un vacío de sentido que la palabra siempre intenta llenar. Para dar cuenta de este vacío, Gerber Bicecci recurre a la teoría matemática de los conjuntos, debido a su capacidad de concebirlo sin correr el riesgo de llenarlo de sentido, cuyas categorías entran en el texto a través de su representación gráfica, o sea diagramas de Venn dibujados por la autora. El alcance universal del código gráfico permite la abstracción de las vivencias de la protagonista de la novela de este marco representativo, en el que encajan las experiencias de cada sujeto que sufrió el exilio, configurando así una verdadera ‘comunidad del vacío’, que analizaremos a través de las propuestas del filósofo italiano Roberto Esposito. Finalmente, el estrecho vínculo entre palabra escrita y representación gráfica motivarán la calificación de Conjunto vacío en términos de ‘testimonio multimedia’.This essay aims to analyze the novel Conjunto vacío (2015) by the argenmex visual artist Verónica Gerber Bicecci, investigating the strategies chosen by the author to testify the trauma of argentine exile in Mexico in the aftermath of the last civic-military dictatorship.

No full textLarge Transportation Project: Lessons Learned from Italian Case Studies
No full textThis chapter is aimed to the analysis of typical issues occurring during the realization of megaprojects related to infrastructures and transportation services in Italy. As it possible to expect, the variety of transportation megaprojects is extremely broad. In the first section of this paper, the author will consider some of the most significant megaprojects in the area. During the second section of the analysis, the author will better describe the features of a successful megaproject, even if it did not result with the expected outcomes: the tramway in the Bergamo valleys. After a first not exciting period of existence, this megaproject can be defined as satisfying. However, also in this case, the preliminary technical and economic analyses turned out to be excessively optimistic. This project is interesting also because it was the object of an ex-post evaluation which allows to obtain a comparison between the effectively obtained results, especially in financial and economic terms, and the evaluations made by the sponsoring actors made during the preliminary planning phase and the request for public financing
"Doie parole". Le lettere inedite di Raffaele Viviani alla moglie Maria Di Maio
No full textSi presenta l’epistolario inedito di Raffaele Viviani alla moglie Maria (1929-1947), dal quale si pubblicano 7 lettere degli anni 1941-1942, testimonianza di alto valore documentario per molti àmbiti di ricerca: la vita e l’opera dell’autore napoletano, la storia teatrale (non solo napoletana) dell’epoca e, dal punto di vista linguistico: la scrittura epistolare, il continuum sociolinguistico napoletano del primo Novecento.
Nel breve esame linguistico la scrittura epistolare di Viviani (che rispecchia il genio creativo dell’autore) si delinea nella sua base sostanzialmente italiana, con continui cambiamenti di codice col dialetto e slittamenti di stile verso un’espressionismo che si nutre proprio di quel plurilinguismo linguistico e riflette una realtà molto prossima al parlato (per il grado di spontaneità dovuto all’intimità con il destinatario), quell’italiano regionale campano per la cui descrizione fonti di tal genere sono indispensabili.We publish seven letters (1941-1942) from the Raffaele Viviani's unpublished epistolary to his wife Maria (1929-1947). These letters have an high documentary value for many research areas: the life and work of the author Neapolitan, theatrical (not only Neapolitan) history of the twentieth century; from a linguistic point of view the epistle writing, the sociolinguistic “continuum” of the early twentieth century.
In the short linguistic examination we show the caracter of Viviani's epistle writing (which reflects the creative genius of the author): the constant changes of code (italian and dialectal language), the expressionism based on the plurilingualism and the spontaneous “talk” (for the proximity of the interlocutor). These letters represent a source for the “italiano regionale campano”
