Weaving Cross-cultural Narratives: Hybrid Forms and Historico-political Discourse of the Anglophone Indian Novel
No full textAs the anglophone Indian novel exists in the in-between space between transnational and local cultures, it has repeatedly staged the encounter between a variety of cultural dimensions while remaining acutely aware of the way they interact with historical and political discourse. This essay examines four novels—Raja Rao’s Kanthapura, Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Anita Desai’s In Custody and Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide—that have conceived their narratives as a site of encounter between cultures in response to articulations of Indian national identity. The essay stresses the authors’ shared concerns but also the different formal solutions and ideological positions they adopt. Rao—a pre-Partition author—deals with otherness within a nationalist paradigm. Rushdie, Desai and Ghosh, on the other hand, tackle otherness in different modes that are dependent on their writing after Partition and in a climate of growing violence and fundamentalis
La regolamentazione giuridica delle fonti di energia rinnovabili tra tutela dell'ambiente e tutela della concorrenza
No full textThis PhD thesis analyses, from a constitutional perspective, the different aspects distinguishing the legislation of renewable energy, which is the link between the economic development needs and those of environmental protection, and which allows the exploitation of natural resources within the limits of their capacity for restoration.
As for the abovementioned legislation, the intention of the author is to highlight the critical issues that identify the sector, but also to ascertain common evolutionary lines.
At the outset, attention is given to the evolution of the legal notion of the environment and the development of constitutional case law on such question, which profoundly affects the regulation of the energy sector.
Afterwards, the constitutional case law on renewable energy sources is analyzed, as it is considered particularly emblematic for the complexity of the division of legislative power between the State and the Regions, outlined by art. 117 of the Constitution, and the evolution of the principle of sustainable development.
Following a brief overview of the regulatory framework set up at the European level for the promotion of energy production from renewable sources, the evolution and analysis of subsidy systems shall be contemplated. In particular, the different support mechanisms shall be explained, which can be divided into quantitative systems and price-based systems, highlighting their respective critical profiles.
Finally, two in-depth analyzes shall be carried out in relation to areas that have experienced a profoundly different evolution, and which present particular problematic features.
The first concerns the photovoltaic sector, with particular reference to the slight linear evolution of "Conto energia" subsidy program.
The second in-depth enquiry consists in an analysis of the hydroelectric sector legislation, and it demonstrates the criticalities stemming from the strong regulatory uncertainty related to the revision of the legislation on public bids for the assignment of hydroelectric water concessions for hydroelectric purposes
