"The Intersection between Complexity and Creativity in Literary Studies: A Multifaceted Approach"
No full textPreface to the first section of a Volume inspired by the papers presented at the 28th biennial Conference of the Italian Association of English Studies, held in Pisa in September 2017. Presentation of essays that contribute to a reflection on complexity and creativity in literary works, focusing both on the diachronic development of these two concepts through different ages and literary periods, and on their synchronic occurrence within texts and across genres
New Order, New Borders: Post-Cold War Europe on the British Stage
No full textThe fall of the Berlin Wall marked the end of many powerful ‘myths’ about Europe. Ideological and geo-political divisions that had been firmly in place for more than forty years crumbled with disturbing suddenness. As the decade progressed, however, it became clear to many that if the epitomic emblematic Wall had collapsed, new barriers had been all too quickly erected in its place, and borders still remained a central feature in the construction of the new order.
Many plays written in Britain after 1989 tackle the myths and narratives that have come to surround the notion of a ‘new’ Europe. This process often involves a redefinition of the position of British playwrights within a broader European context, as well as an assessment of the responsibility of theatre and the arts in general towards the future of the European construction. Taken as a corpus, moreover, these New Europe plays can be seen to articulate a ‘counter-myth’ which draws on a set of images, topics and motifs encoded in the foundational European myth, that of Europa and the bull. The first part of my study illustrates the topoi that these recent plays about Europe share with the Europa myth; the central section focuses on the analysis of three representative plays by David Greig, Sarah Kane and Peter Whelan; while the final one provides a tentative interpretation of this structural homology between ancient myth-making and present-day myth-blasting
Ri.L.Un.E
No full textRiLUnE, Revue des Littératures de l’Union Européenne, se propose de contribuer à la forma-tion de la conscience culturelle européenne, considérée un complément nécessaire, sinon une condition, de l’efficacité de l’union politique et économique en cours d’accomplissement. Elle aspire donc au dépassement de la perspective comparative, pour se rapprocher, dans la mesure du possible, de la vision unitaire d’une civilisation commune, avec tous ses problèmes et ses conflits, mais également avec ses richesses et ses splendeurs.
Le projet a été conçu grâce à l’idée de Ruggero Campagnoli, concrétisée par Anna Soncini, à l’intérieur d’un groupe d’amis et de collègues qui s’engagent, tous, à promouvoir ensemble des parcours d’européanisation académique et culturelle: Bernard Baritaud (France), Ana González Salvador (Espagne), Eric Lysøe (France), Anne Neuschaefer (Allemagne), Françoise Wuilmart (Belgique). Le futur de la revue est lié à une participation que l’on souhaite de plus en plus élargie, à l’intérieur de la structure qui a été prévue, et suivant les modalités qui ont été élaborées. RiLUnE accepte des propositions d'articles et des contributions à adresser ensuite à la Rédaction ou aux partenaires de la revue
Receding horizon control for water resources management
No full textIntegrated water resources management (IWRM) is recognized worldwide as the reference paradigm to meet society's long-term needs for water resources while maintaining essential ecological services and economic benefits. In previous publications [A. Castelletti, R. Soncini-Sessa, A procedural approach to strengthening integration and participation in water resource planning, Environmental Modelling & Software 21(10) (2006) 1455 1470; A. Castelletti, F. Pianosi, R. Soncini-Sessa, Integration, participation and optimal control in water resources planning and management, Applied Mathematics and Computation, (2007), doi: 10.1016/j.amc.2007.09.069], the authors have already insisted on the need for a procedural approach to make the IWRM paradigm truly operational; they have emphasized the role played by dynamic optimization in rationalizing and facilitating the selection by the decision maker of a best compromise planning alternative. When planning alternatives also include management policies, as in the case of the water reservoir networks considered in this paper, the best compromise off-line policy resulting from the planning exercise has to be actually implemented in the daily management of the system. Here, again, dynamic optimization may play a central role, as it can be adopted on-line to improve the performance of the off-line policy by exploiting any new useful information available in real-time (e. g., inflow predictions, a power station being temporarily out of service, etc.). In this paper, this approach is explored through a real-world case study of a simple reservoir system. The off-line management policy computed in a previous planning process is refined on-line with a receding horizon control scheme combined with an inflow predictor. The results yield indications that the approach can provide significant advantages to cope with extreme events, particularly those occurring in unusual periods of the year. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.

No full textL'émergence de l'inconscient dans la littérature européenne est le titre du séminaire international organisé au printemps/automne 2005 par le Doctorat d'Études Supérieures Européennes - Les Littératures de l'Europe Unie, à Bologna, dans le cadre des activités de la Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici, dirigée par le prof. Umberto Eco. Ce cycle de conférences a été conçu dans l'espoir de faire un état des lieux des approches psychanalytiques, psychologiques et psychopathologiques à la littérature. Le résultat nous a permis de repérer un fil rouge parcourant toute la littérature européenne, au niveau des thématiques abordées, des solutions linguistiques adoptées, des orientationss idéologiques choisies. Ce numéro veut réunir cette expérience fondamentale, qui signe un moment de réflexion partagée par des spécialistes provenant de différents domaines littéraires et scientifiques, dans l'assurance qu'elle peut fournir une base d'étude pour la communauté internationale des chercheurs
