    No full text
    Il saggio è costituito da due parti, la prima delle quali, dedicata alla fondazione della Federazione italiana delle biblioteche circolanti cattoliche, è stata pubblicata nel precedente numero dei «Nuovi Annali», XXVII (2013), pp. 137-163. In questa seconda parte viene delineata la figura intellettuale di Giovanni Casati, che diresse la «Rivista di letture» dal 1912 al 1944, trasformando il periodico della Federazione in una rivista impegnata nella divulgazione della cultura cattolica. A questo impegno militante Casati fece corrispondere un intenso programma editoriale, che trovò espressione nella pubblicazione di saggi letterari, di manuali e opere repertoriali.The study consists of two parts; the first is dedicated to the history of the Federazione italiana delle biblioteche circolanti cattoliche since its foundation (1904) up to 1912 and was published in the previous volume of the «Nuovi Annali », XXVII (2013), pp. 137-163. In this second part, the author outlines the intellectual figure of Giovanni Casati, who directed the «Rivista di letture» from 1912 to 1944, transforming the magazine of the Federation in a journal engaged in the spreading of Catholic culture. To this militant engagement Casati matched an intense publishing program, which found its expression in the publication of literary essays, manuals and reference works

    Comico e tragico del diritto nella novellistica italiana: il novelliere di Giovanni Sercambi

    No full text
    Nelle novelle di età tardomedievale ed umanistica, a causa del loro carattere fortemente realistico, il diritto ha un posto importante, poiché rappresenta un elemento centrale e ineliminabile della vita della comunità. Il novelliere di Giovanni Sercambi da Lucca non fa eccezione, anche se l’autore non ha una cultura giuridica né s’interessa in modo specifico al diritto. Il presente saggio vuole analizzare sotto tale profilo queste novelle per verificare quale concezione del diritto emerge da esse e come la narrazione ne risulti arricchita.In the late medieval and humanistic novellas, owing to their very realistic character, the right is an important central and inevitable element in community life. Giovanni Sercambi’s novelliere is no exception even if the author lacks a legal culture, nor is specifically interested in right. This essay intends to analyze these novellas under this profile to verify what kind of right they consider and how the stories are enriched

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-graduação em Urbanismo, historia e arquitetura da cidadeEsta pesquisa aborda como a madeira tem sido utilizada na produção da arquitetura em algumas regiões do Estado de Santa Catarina. Num primeiro momento, apresenta-se uma conceituação sobre o material e os produtos para a construção que dele derivam e as diferentes técnicas construtivas envolvendo sua utilização. Para compreender a produção de arquitetura em madeira elaborou-se um breve histórico reconhecendo sua utilização na América Latina e no Brasil, com um enfoque maior para a região sul do país. Questões políticas sobre o déficit habitacional e questões ambientais também estão sendo consideradas nesta pesquisa, uma vez que a madeira pode estar envolvida com a primeira questão e está diretamente relacionada às questões que envolvem o meio-ambiente. Estudos de casos de arquitetura popular e arquitetura erudita em madeira são apresentados como exemplos do duplo papel assumido por este material.This research focuses on how wood is being used in the production of architecture in some regions of the state of Santa Catarina. Firstly, the materials and related products, as well as the many different construction techniques in which they are used, are conceptualized. A brief history of the production of wood architecture in Latin America and more specifically Brazil (focusing above all on the south region) is then offered. Political issues such as housing shortage and environmental concerns are also taken into account, given that wood may be involved in the first and is directly related to the latter. Case studies of popular and scholarly architecture are presented to illustrate the double role assumed by this materia

    Frankenstein Rather Than Faust? The Decline of Limit-Surpassing Forces

    Get PDF
    Giovanni Bottiroli’s article “Frankenstein Rather Than Faust?” aims to problematize and investigate further the challenge to the notion of «rigid identity» proposed by extant scholarship. In order to do so, Bottiroli dismantles a univocal understanding of «identity», bringing to light the polysemy and porosity intrinsic to this term. In order to do so, the author discusses here different modes of identity, concentrating on two in particular: coincidence and non-coincidence with oneself. Taking this distinction as his point of departure, Bottiroli applies these interpretative frameworks to two of the most significant figures of Western imagination, Frankenstein and Faust
