La metafora. Testi greci e latini tradotti e commentati da Giulio Guidorizzi e Simone Beta
No full textIl volume consiste nello sviluppo e nel completamento di un lavoro pubblicato da Giulio Guidorizzi nel 1984 sotto forma di dispensa universitaria (Testi antichi sulla metafora), che consisteva in un'introduzione sul tropo della metafora nella cultura classica e in una scelta di testi greci e latini con traduzione italiana. Di quel lavoro resta, nel presente volume, l'introduzione di Giulio Guidorizzi (pp. 11-36); il numero dei frammenti è stato considerevolmente accresciuto da Simone Beta, che vi ha aggiunto un ampio commento (pp. 125-220), la bibliografia (pp. 221-230) e gli indici (pp. 231-242)
La Maestà con i santi Quattro Coronati di Simone Martini ritrovata: un disegno per Seroux d'Agincourt
No full textThis essay examines and discusses a hitherto unpublished drawing reproducing a fresco in Siena, now lost but traditionally attributed to Simone Martini by sources ranging from Ghiberti to Della Valle. The drawing, from the collection of the art historian Jean-Baptiste Seroux d’Agincourt housed in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, prompts discussion regarding the painting’s iconography and style
A Metaethical Study of Simone Weil’s Notion of Attention Through Critical Practical Analogy
No full textThis research provides an example of art practice employed within a metaethical framework by addressing Simone Weil‘s ethical notion of attention. In this thesis, 'metaethics‘ is defined as a second order inquiry into first order questions of normative ethics, more specifically, an inquiry into the metaphysical and epistemological premises of Weil‘s discourse on the ethical value of attention.
On one hand, I demonstrate how Weil‘s notion of attention can expand the scope of art so as to include metaethics. On the other hand, I use art to widen the current knowledge of Weilian attention.
The research projects described and analysed in this thesis are predicated on a method which I designate 'critical practical analogy‘; this is an analogy which includes art practical operations for the purpose of critical investigation. This method subsumes both theoretical and practical inquiries. I used two analogies:
– Normative analogy compares (a) the dualistic relation that Weil postulates between agent and reality in her discourse on attention to (b) the relation that I postulate between my agency through observational drawing and the object of observation. The analogy operates by using Weil‘s assertions on attention normatively in observational drawing.
– Imaginal analogy compares (a) Weil‘s use of tautology and contradiction in her arguments for ethical attention to (b) tautology and contradiction considered as argument forms. The analogy operates by giving aesthetic presence to these forms, i.e. by turning them into images through artworks.
The analogies obtained the following outcomes:
– The normative projects afford a practical knowledge of Weilian attention by interpreting it as an ethical practice of detachment. The projects also demonstrate that, notwithstanding Weil‘s transcendent view of truth, such a practice of detachment is compatible with a subjective notion of truth.
– By capitalising on the non-propositional mode of representation which is typical of visual art, the imaginal projects engender a scepticism which favours dialogue and values questions as positive research results.
The outcomes indicate the following implications for visual arts practice:
– The outcomes of the normative projects demonstrate how contemporary artists who regard notions of universal truth with scepticism need not necessarily disavow ethical intentions in their practice.
– Due to its propositional character, theoretical metaethics can reach an impasse from which it can only point discursively to the limits of language. The outcomes of the imaginal projects evidence that art can move beyond these limits non-propositionally.
The use of critical practical analogy also indicates a methodological implication for art practical, interdisciplinary research. Critical practical analogy could provide artists with both a heuristic research tool and a template for articulating a discursive representation of art practice which both acknowledges the non-linearity and indirectness of practice-led research and the need for
interdisciplinary intelligibility

A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy
Skill-biased remote work and incentives
No full textWe document four key trends since the pandemic: a surge in remote work, an increase in performance pay, their joint occurrence, and the skill-biased nature of this complementarity. We develop a firm-worker model that explains this evidence. We show that, under risk aversion, the incentive-compatible performance pay premium falls with worker’s skills, as the likelihood of a good performance increases. Hence, the firm uses
performance pay if the worker is sufficiently skilled and fixed pay with monitoring, otherwise. The unforeseen pandemic shock forces the firm to adopt remote work and reduces monitoring effectiveness. As a result, the firm relies more on performance pay. Post-pandemic, the firm always sticks to the remote work if the worker is sufficiently skilled. If the worker is too unskilled for performance pay to be cost-effective, the firm sticks to remote work only if remote monitoring is effective. Accordingly, the model
redicts that a decline in remote monitoring efficacy could reduce remote work for less-skilled workers only
