Art and the artist in the literary works of Elsa Triolet
No full textThis thesis takes a representative selection of Triolet's works to study the themes of writing and creativity as they are presented in the novels. These are all portraits of artists and the accounts of the search for a synthesis of aesthetic freedom and ethical responsibility. It considers Triolet's importance as a foreign writer, adopting a new creative language to be adopted by a different cultural
environment, to be essential in understanding her importance to the French literary tradition. By emphasising her formative years in the avant-garde circles of prerevolutionary Russia, my study demonstrates her considerable contribution to the meeting of Russian and French aesthetic theories. I extend this with close textual
readings of certain works to demonstrate her techniques in novelistic construction which reveal many Formalist practices before Formalist works in translation made
their official influence on creative methods.
The introduction considers the reasons for Triolet's neglect as a writer. It then considers various contemporary and recent critical appraisals which indicate
the interest she has received until present and which allow me to define my own critical approach. Part One traces Triolet's literary evolution from her formative
years in Russia, through exile to her first publications in Russian. It then considers her insertion into French literary activity, and her association with the schools of
socialist realism and the "nouveau roman".
Part Two examines two traditional novels which portray the creative and metaphorical roles of the artist and his work, showing the constant conflict between private and public lives. In Part Three, I show how aspects of novelistic
traditionalism are gradually foregrounded so that the work develops a dual-sided character where it both narrates and examines the processes of its own narration. In Part Four, this move to highly self-conscious aesthetics demonstrates an idiosyncratic exploration of new paths for the novel that bring visual, auditive and cinematographic media into the traditional domain of written art. Accompanying
the very post-modernist experimentation, I show how this research within the novel into the novel's own future has an ethical and redemptive purpose whose final conclusion is that creativity and human freedom are inexorably interwoven
«Where there is no vice of exterminating poets»: Elsa Morante and The world saved by kids
No full textreservedIn questo elaborato verrà analizzato il libro più eccentrico di Elsa Morante: Il mondo salvato dai ragazzini.
Dopo un iniziale inquadramento storico e una precisazione in merito al genere letterario in cui l'opera rientra, si analizzeranno gli influssi che la cultura orientale ha avuto sull'opera e i rimandi intertestuali con Simone Weil, dichiarato modello dell'autrice.
Si passerà poi a un'analisi più puntuale sulla terza sezione: le Canzoni popolari, e si spiegherà dettagliatamente chi siano i Felici Pochi e i ragazzini a cui Elsa Morante affida il compito di salvare il mondo.
Per concludere si porteranno degli esempi puntuali di Felici Pochi anonimi, mettendoli in relazione con alcuni personaggi di un'altra importante opera della stessa autrice: La Storia.This paper will analyse Elsa Morante's most eccentric book:The World Saved by Little Kids.
After an initial historical background and a clarification regarding the literary genre in which the work falls, the influences that Eastern culture had on the work and the intertextual cross-references with Simone Weil, the author's declared model, will be analysed.
It will then turn to a more pointed analysis on the third section: the Folk Songs, and will explain in detail who the Happy Few and the little kids are to whom Elsa Morante entrusts the task of saving the world.
To conclude, timely examples of anonymous Happy Few will be brought in, relating them to some of the characters in another important work by the same author, The Story
IL RETROFIT ENERGETICO. L'EDILIZIA RESIDENZIALE POST-BELLICA DI PALERMO
No full textIl patrimonio edilizio italiano è composto principalmente da costruzioni realizzate nel secondo dopoguerra, quando la speculazione economica e l'urbanizzazione hanno prodotto edifici con caratteristiche di scarsa qualità architettonica ed energetica. Agire sul rendimento energetico degli edifici esistenti, adattandoli alle caratteristiche richieste dalla normativa, a parità di condizioni di comfort, rappresenta una strategia importante per la
riduzione dei consumi energetici e per la tutela dell'ambiente. Attraverso l'applicazione di tecnologie e metodologie innovative e la scelta di investimenti adeguati, il retrofit energetico può rappresentare oggi la principale opportunità di crescita in campo economico ed ambientale, e un'opportunità di innovazione nel settore delle costruzioni.
La ricerca si propone di valutare le prestazioni energetiche degli edifici esistenti, attraverso una metodologia di retrofit energetico, capace di individuare, caso per caso, le soluzioni più adeguate e i relativi interventi, in riferimento anche al loro rapporto costi-benefici. In questo modo, è possibile scegliere le strategie per il miglioramento dell'efficienza energetica, valutare le opportunità di risparmio energetico e il periodo di recupero per ammortizzare l'investimento. Il campo di indagine riguarda in particolare la notevole quantità di edifici residenziali che hanno occupato il territorio della "Piana dei
Colli" di Palermo, a seguito del cosiddetto "Sacco Edilizio" degli anni '60.The energy retrofit. The Post war residential buildings of Palermo
The Italian building stock is mainly composed of constructions from the second post-war period, when economic speculation and urbanization have produced characteristics of poor architectural and energetic quality. By acting on the energy performance of existing buildings, adapting these characteristics to those required by regulations, on equal terms of comfort, represent an important strategy to the reduction of energy consumption and to the environmental protection. Through the application of innovative technologies and methodologies and the choice of appropriate investments, the energy retrofit can be now
the main growth opportunity in the economic and environmental field, and an innovation opportunity in the building's. The research is aimed at evaluating the energy performance of existing buildings, through an energy improvement methodology, which may identify,
case by case, cost-effective solutions and interventions, according to the cost-benefit analysis. In this way, it is possible to choose strategies for the energy efficiency improvement, assessing the energy savings opportunities and the payback period to amortize the investment. The field of inquiry specifically concerns the substantial amount of residential buildings that have occupied the territory of "Piana dei Colli" in Palermo, as result of the "Sacco Edilizio" of the '60s
GIOVANNI CARBONARA. ARCHITETTURA D'OGGI E RESTAURO: UN CONFRONTO ANTICO-NUOVO
No full textArchitettura di oggi e restauro dell'antico sono temi largamente dibattuti per quanto riguarda le modalità di approccio. Non esistono leggi a priori o regole da seguire, ma si è sempre cercato di stabilire parametri e categorie per uniformare le proprie scelte. All'interno di tale panorama inevitabilmente si delineano correnti di pensiero diverse, talvolta anche contrastanti, caratterizzate ognuna da un diverso modo di interpretare il rapporto tra l'antico e il nuovo. Proprio all'interno di tale dialettica si inserisce il pensiero di numerosi architetti, fra cui quello di Giovanni Carbonara, che, attraverso il presente testo, ha voluto presentare una variegata rassegna delle possibili modalità di approccio manifestatesi in tempi recenti nell'ambito del restauro. Esempi e citazioni di architetti e critici offrono al lettore un quadro di riferimento sul tema, oltre ad una riflessione sull'architettura di oggi e sulla sua prerogativa di ridurre spesso il contesto a un ruolo marginale e subordinato al gesto creativo.

Current architecture and renovation of ancient building have always been problematic regarding the mode of approach. There are no laws to follow, but inevitably there are different currents of thought, sometimes conflicting, each characterized by a different way of interpreting the relationship between ancient and new buildings. It's about that dialectic that fit the thought of many architects, including that of Giovanni Carbonara, one of the most prestigious names in renovation in Italy, who wanted to present in this book a lot of overview about the possible approaches that have arisen in recent times about renovation. Examples and quotations from architects and critics offer the reader a frame of reference on the subject, as well as a reflection on current architecture and its prerogative to reduce the context to a marginal role and subordinate to the creative act

In 1898 she married the physician Dr. Jacques Oestreicher and in 1899 their daughter Anni Henriette Oestreicher, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1935, was born. During World War I Elsa Oestreicher worked as a Hilfsschwester (assistant nurse) for the Red Cross for more than 4 years and received two medals, a Zivilverdienstkreuz and the Rote Kreuzmedaille, for her efforts. After World War I she worked as a cooking instructor for about five years at the Schule der Hausfrauen (Am Karlsbad 13) and wrote a number of cookbooks. Due to growing anti-Semitism she had to give up her position there and she opened a private cooking school which operated successfully until Elsa was at first forbidden to instruct Christian students and later on, to teach Jewish students as well. After that, Elsa Oestreicher worked in a Jewish hospital, the Siechenheim der Reichsvereinigung in Gross-Lichterfelde and when it was dissolved, in the kitchen of the Durchgangslager (transit camp), Grosse Hamburgerstrasse. Three months after her husband’s death in August 1942, she was deported to Theresienstadt on November 4, 1942. In Theresienstadt Elsa Oestreicher worked as a cook, a cooking instructor and as head of the soup-kitchen. After the liberation of Theresienstadt she had to stay at the Displaced Persons Center Deggendorf until she immigrated via Sweden to the United States in 1946, where she died in New York in 1963.3-page inventory.digitizedBeerfelden ; Frankfurt am Mai
Charging tenants with maintenance fees. Analysis on the basis of tax on goods and services
No full textArtykuł opublikowany w czasopiśmie "Przegląd Prawniczy Europejskiego Stowarzyszenia Studentów Prawa ELSA Poland" w zeszycie 1/2013, został wyłoniony w drodze konkursów organizowanych przez Grupy Lokalne ELSA Poland w 2013r.This article identifies key problems connected with imposing a value added tax on re-invoicing
the costs of utilities relating to rental agreement. I throws doubt on whether all the supplies which the
landlord makes to the tenant constitute a single supply from the point of view of VAT. Author discusses
possible classification of above -mentioned transaction for VAT purposes (i.e. as an autonomous and
separate from tenancy supply or as a indivisible economic supply which it would be artificial to split
rental component). It also gives the readers the insight into tax consequences of designed legal and tax
classifications. Moreover, the article shows differences between standpoints presented in a recent
interpretation issued by tax authorities and judicial decisions. It also gives an overview of the most
recent judicial practice of the Court of Justice of the EU connected with re-invoicing service charge.
Author emphasizes the relevance of judgments issued by the CJEU (especially the verdict
on 27 September 2012 in case C-392/11 Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP v. Commissioners for Her
Majesty’s Revenue and Customs which seems to play a major part in resolving the dispute in question)
