    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2009.A presente tese opera no limiar entre a literatura brasileira e a argentina, mais especificamente com dois de seus escritores bastante admirados, mas não raro censurados pela crítica em função de supostos deslizes de linguagem e estilo. Lima Barreto (1981-1922) e Roberto Arlt (1900-1942), estes "homens do subsolo" no espaço da literatura nacional, são foco deste estudo que procura, através da leitura dos romances - Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha, Triste Fim de Policarpo Quaresma, Vida e Morte de M. J. Gonzaga de Sá, de Lima Barreto, e El juguete rabioso, Los siete locos e Los lanzallamas,de Roberto Arlt -, acompanhar o exílio e a relação das personagens com a comunidade. A partir da definição do conceito de exílio como negatividade, tal como estabelecem Maurice Blanchot, Jean-Luc Nancy, Giorgio Agamben, Franco Rella, entre outros, é possível detectar que a série de personagens solitárias e torturadas, presentes nos romances, participam de um verdadeiro projeto de exaustão do sentido da comunidade que se funda no território. Tal projeto, que exauri a comunidade territorial imaginada - seja nacional ou revolucionária - é, com efeito, fundamento de outra experiência de comunidade. Esta última não faz obra, não opera limite, mas se dá como exílio, como abertura, como acolhimento do ser inqualificável, tal como debatem os filósofos já citados. Por fim, foram tomadas as últimas experiências de escrita - de Lima Barreto, O cemitério dos vivos, e de Roberto Arlt, El desierto entra en la ciudad - que têm como tema a loucura. A partir delas é possível compreender que mesmo o "fora", ao ser entendido como louco, acaba retido nos limites de um confinamento territorial, figurando um modo do próprio Estado se imunizar, conforme Roberto Esposito, contra o "perigo" da comunidade como inclinação ao outro. Porém, a voz narrativa, esvaziada do "eu", parece ainda elaborar uma linha de fuga do território, nos fazendo vislumbrar, enfim, a comunidade em exílio

    On the stability of semi-Lagrangian advection schemes under finite element interpolation

    No full text
    We investigate about the stability of Semi-Lagrangian schemes when finite-element type reconstructions are used. This choice leads to a scheme whose stability cannot be characterized by means of the classical Fourier analysis. In the paper, we propose a technique to estimate eigenvalues of the scheme in the case of a uniform mesh, and extend it to some situation of non-uniform spacing. The explicit computation is carried out for the P2 case

    Il «buon costume» come limite ai diritti: prospettive e problematiche

    No full text
    This doctoral thesis concerns the concept of «good mores» as a limitation to constitutional rights. The goal of this research is to devise a definition of this concept that a secularized and pluralist society can accept. In the first part of the thesis I have examined the «good mores» within Italian legal system. I have singled out the legal sources that refer to «good mores», or to similar notions, and I have studied how these concepts live in the jurisprudence and in doctrinal opinions. In the second part of the thesis I have analyzed the «good mores» in a transnational context, and I took into account this clause in the European dimension and, in a comparative perspective, in a foreign legal system, namely that of U.S.A. In the last part of the work I attempted a definition of the «good mores». Since this concept has a content that belongs to the sphere of ethics and values, I held that the source of shared values in a liberal-democratic society might be its Constitution, and, within a pluralist Constitution, there might be an overlapping consensus on the value of human dignity. Therefore, I examined the possibility to link the «good mores» to human dignity, and I explored the consequences of that interpretive solution with regard to fundamental rights of the individual.

    Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: Overview Eduardo Bossone, Gianluigi Savarese, Francesco Ferrara, Rodolfo Citro, Susanna Mosca, Francesca Musella, Giuseppe Limongelli, Roberto Manfredini, Antonio Cittadini, and Pasquale Perrone Filardi Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a unique acute syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease, occurring mostly in postmenopausal women after emotional and/or physical stress. Given the nonspecific symptoms and signs, a high clinical index of suspicion is necessary to detect the disease in different clinical settings and scenarios. Noninvasive multimodality imaging may be useful to distinguish this cardiomyopathy from other acute cardiac and thoracic diseases. Coronary angiography remains, however, mandatory to differentiate TTC from acute coronary syndromes. This article reviews the clinical features and management of TTC and some new insights

    Women Academics in England, 1870-1930

    Based on the author's dissertation, this article traces the development of the academic profession for women in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on women at Oxford, Cambridge and London universities. Unlike in the United States, where women's role in higher education expanded and then retracted during this period, British women slowly and steadily made inroads into this male-dominated profession.Peer reviewe

    'To Save Them from the Dangers to their Faith’: Documenting Student Life at Catholic Women's Colleges

    No full text
    This article focuses on student life at Catholic women's colleges in the United States during the 20th century. These colleges helped acculturate many daughters of immigrants to middle-class American society, at the same time creating a specifically female and Catholic culture on college campuses. This evolving culture, which was characterized by the ideals of femininity, religion, and service, can be reconstructed through documentation from the college archives.Peer reviewe
