L'editore veneto e il web
No full textIannuzzi analizza i dati sul rapporto tra editori veneti e web: tipologia e utilizzo dei siti, diffusione di contenuti liquidi, Internet come canale distributivo e di rapporto con i lettori. Costante il confronto con i dati sulla situazione nazionale e l'attenzione a punti di forza, di debolezza e potenzialità del sistema considerato
Werner Sombart and the global society. Anticipations from a classic author of sociology
No full textThe article examines the most salient works in which the sociologist Werner Sombart saw the dimension of globality as a social element, constitutive of mo- dernity and its future. The aim is to understand the role of globality, as an idea and a phenomenon, in the constitution in all aspects of society (economic, political, cultural, anthropological). The Works to which the article refers show a global society, one that goes from the time of Sombart to the present day, as the author had already envisioned in all their potentialities and criticalities
Maximal complexifications of certain Riemannian homogeneous manifolds.
No full textLet M = G/K be a homogeneous Riemannian manifold with dim_C G^C = dim_R G, where G^C denotes the universal complexification of G. Under certain extensibility assumptions on the geodesic flow of M, we give a characterization of the maximal domain of definition in TM for the adapted complex structure and show that it is unique. For instance, this can be done for generalized Heisenberg groups and naturally reductive homogeneous Riemannian spaces. As an application it is shown that the case of generalized Heisenberg groups yields examples of maximal domains of definition for the adapted complex structure which are neither holomorphically separable nor holomorphically convex
On Naturally reductive left-invariant metrics of SL(2,R)
No full textOn any real semisimple Lie group we consider a one parameter
family of left-invariant naturally reductive metrics. Their
geodesic flow in terms of Killing curves, the Levi Civita connection
and the main curvature properties are explicitly computed.
Furthermore we present a group theoretical revisitation of a classical
realization of all simply connected
3-dimensional manifolds with a transitive
group of isometries due to L. Bianchi and \'E. Cartan. As a consequence one
obtains a characterization of all naturally reductive left-invariant

A classification of taut, Stein surfaces with a proper R-action
No full textWe present a classification of 2-dimensional, taut, Stein manifolds with a proper R-action. For such manifolds the globalization with respect to the induced local C-action turns out to be Stein. As an application we determine all 2-dimensional taut, non-complete, Hartogs domains over a Riemann surface
Complexifications of local actions and the Bergman metric
No full textLet act by biholomorphisms on a Stein manifold
which admits the Bergman metric.
We show that can be regarded as a -invariant domain
in a ``universal" complex manifold on which the
complexification of acts.
The analogous result holds for actions
of a larger class of real Lie groups containing, e.g., abelian
and certain nilpotent ones. For holomorphic actions of such groups on
Stein manifolds, necessary and sufficient conditions
for the existence of are given
An “Eye-talian” in the New World: Cognitive Estrangement and Diglossia in Antonio Gallenga's Early Italian American Narrative
No full text"On the 15th of August, 1836, I was born again" is the incipit of that extraordinary and little known autobiography which is Antonio Gallenga's "Episodes of my Second Life" (1885). The 15th of August, 1836 is the day Gallenga embarked from Gibraltar for New York, and the opening of this text, as well as its title, emphasizes very well the beginning of the transoceanic journey as a turning point in the author's life.
A close reading of the the text focuses on three central aspects: the narration of the self, with specific attention devoted to the migration experience as a source of estrangement and to the relationship between the narrating and the narrated "I"s; the linguistic self-consciousness of the narrator and the character; images of America and placement/locating of the self.
These elements allow to explore how the migration experience was conceptualized and which critical and literary devices where put at work by an author whose literary awareness render this text a rare narration between autobiography, travel journal, memoire, auto-fiction.
This essay – working at the theoretical intersection between Italian American Studies and Speculative Fiction Studies – puts forward new observations the role played by estrangement mechanism in early Italian American narratives
