Un articolo perduto e una lettera ritrovata. Carteggio Contini-Cecchi-Raimondi
No full textWhen Giuseppe Raimondi’s novel Giuseppe in Italia was published by Mondadori, in April 1949,
the author and his friends Gianfranco Contini and Emilio Cecchi began a period of intense correspondence.
Such correspondence, as presented herein, from May to August 1949, is evidence
of the deep friendship that existed in the relations between the three protagonists of Italian
literary culture and documents a “disagreement” between the great philologist and the author
of Pesci rossi which, in the light of some new letters, confirms again the rigour and ethical-moral
strictness which Contini always stood by, as much in his work as in his life
GIANFRANCO CONTINI ALFREDO SCHIAFFINI CARTEGGIO (1935-1971)
No full textFra tutti i carteggi di Gianfranco Contini (e ne sono stati pubblicati ormai molti: con Carlo Emilio Gadda, Eugenio Montale, Emilio Cecchi, Aldo Capitini, Luigi Russo, Giorgio Pasquali, Giuseppe De Luca, ecc.), quello con Alfredo Schiaffini ha un posto particolare: è il più considerevole per numero di lettere e per durata cronologica (dal 1935 al 1971) con un “addetto ai lavori”, un collega. Quando Contini scrive a Schiaffini per la prima volta, ha ventitré anni. Si è appena laureato in Filologia Romanza all'Università di Pavia, e ha vinto una borsa di studio per perfezionarsi a Parigi, con Joseph Bédier. Schiaffini, quando riceve quella prima lettera da Parigi, il 18 febbraio 1935, ha quarant'anni. È un professore affermato, con cattedra a Genova e incarichi alla Scuola Normale di Pisa. La complicità è immediata. L'affetto, durerà per tutta la vita, e i contatti non si interromperanno mai, fino alla morte di Schiaffini, avvenuta nel 1971.
Succede, nel frattempo, di tutto. Contini diventa la star indiscussa della filologia italiana, venerato e temuto da amici e colleghi, autore di saggi mirabili, che rivoluzionano la disciplina, e punto di riferimento per molti scrittori contemporanei (Montale, Gadda e Pasolini sono solo i più celebri). Nasce, in polemica con Benedetto Croce, e su impulso proprio di Contini, la “critica delle varianti”, che Schiaffini (è tra gli aspetti poco noti emersi da questo carteggio) è fra i primi ad appoggiare e sostenere.
Nel 1935, c'è la guerra. Le biblioteche universitarie non comprano riviste straniere, e Contini procura a Schiaffini, da Parigi, estratti introvabili in Italia, acquistati da Droz. Entrambi i corrispondenti perdono, negli anni della guerra, libri, carte, lettere.
La ricostruzione li vede ancora l'uno accanto all'altro, impegnati, con ruoli diversi, nel programma di ricostruzione della storia letteraria nazionale portato avanti dalla casa editrice Riccardo Ricciardi: Schiaffini è coinvolto da Mattioli fin dal 1949 nella direzione della collana “La letteratura italiana. Storia e testi”, insieme a Pietro Pancrazi, che intende stabilire un 'canone' della letteratura italiana in 75 volumi, da consegnare alla classe dirigente del futuro. Prima ancora che l'incarico sia ufficializzato, ne dà notizia a Contini, e gli affida l'incarico di curare per la collana i due volumi dei Poeti del Duecento, che usciranno nel 1961, e cambieranno il modo di pubblicare i testi delle origini. Poco più tardi, Schiaffini promuove alla Ricciardi una nuova casa editrice, i “Documenti di filologia”: che dirigerà scegliendo di avere al suo fianco, ancora una volta, Contini.
Quarant'anni di storia non solo accademica italiana, come si riflettono nelle lettere di due studiosi che hanno messo le basi della disciplina filologica in Italia.The exchange of letters between Gianfranco Contini and Alfredo Schiaffini is quite peculiar, even if compared with the many ones Contini had with Carlo Emilio Gadda, Eugenio Montale, Emilio Cecchi, Aldo Capitini, Luigi Russo, Giorgio Pasquali, Giuseppe De Luca and others, already published. It is the most considerable for its length and for the incredible number of letters: it lasts from 1935 to 1971 and involves two “colleagues”. Contini addresses his first letter to Schiaffinin on February 18th, 1935: he is only 23 y.o., he has just taken his degree in Romance Philology and obtained a scholarship to specialize with Joseph Bedier in Paris. Schiaffini is a 40 y. o. well known professor at Genova University, who lectures at Pisa Scuola Normale Superiore. Their complicity is immediate; they love each other and won’t interrupt their friendly relation up to Schiaffini’s death in 1971.
Contini is soon going to become the undisputed ‘star’ of Italian Philology, revered and feared by friends and colleagues, author of admirable essays which turn his teaching upside down; the reference point of many contemporary writers (Montale, Gadda and Pasolini are only the best known). Schiaffini supports and backs up at once “critica delle varianti”, born under the impulse of Contini and in dispute with Benedetto Croce: this is one of the less known aspects these letters have drawn the attention on.
In 1935 war is on. University libraries don’t buy foreign reviews and Contini sends Schiaffini otherwise unobtainable off prints he buys at Droz. During the war both Contini and Schiaffini lose books, papers and letters.
Reconstruction sees them again side by side, engaged with different roles in a programme of rebuilding the national literary history planned by Riccardo Ricciardi. Since 1949 Schiaffini has been called by Mattioli, together with Piero Pancrazi, in the executive staff of “La letteratura italiana”. The aim is to establish a “canon” of the Italian Literature in 75 volumes for the ruling class of the future. Schiaffini writes about his new job to his dear friend Contini – even before its officialization, and gives him the task to edit the two volumes on Poeti del Duecento. These will be ready in 1961 and will change the way of publishing the texts of the origins of our lietrature. Soon after Schiaffini promotes “Documenti di filologia”: once again Contini is at his side to share the management.
Forty years of Italian History – not only from an academic point of view, are reflected in the letters of two scholars who laid the foundations of the philological discipline in Italy

No full textSui sentieri di «Amoris laetitia». Svolte, traguardi e prospettive
No full textThis article provides food for thought on the radical changes that have affected society and the family in the last fifty years. It explores the reciprocal relationship between family and society, highlighting the profound implications and new cohabitation models that arise from it. The author analyzes the acceleration of changes from the perspective of Jean Francois Lyotard, emphasizing how stability has become transient and how we are confronted with unknown social and cultural configurations. It examines the environment in which individuals face the challenges of surpassing themselves, mastering time, and governing space, considering both physical and virtual spaces. It observes that contemporary humans seem to reject stability, and their relationship with institutions becomes increasingly conflictual. As part of this process, the family is gradually witnessing the erosion of its dimension of certainty. The changes in marriage models over the years are explored, highlighting the decline of religious marriages and the increase in civil marriages and cohabitation. The author emphasizes that change is an ordinary fact in the history of societies and that we need to coexist with it, seeking to guide the cultural path. The impact of these changes on the family and society is analyzed, including the reduction in the number of children and the demographic and economic implications. The article explores contemporary hyper-individualism and the effect of social fragmentation on the construction of identity and relationships. The importance of proposing alternative perspectives and continuing to discuss meaningful narratives to address the concerns and questions of contemporary humans is discussed. Despite the possible drifts, it is stated that the family remains a fundamental and irreplaceable pillar of society, playing an educational and generational nurturing role
Etica della professionalità educante, tra «passioni tristi», empowerment e resistenza
No full textThe article proposes a critical reflection on nowadays cultural globalization, underlying, particularly, the «sad passions» it is connoted with and that characterize young people and adolescents, extinguishing their ability of projecting their future. In order to contrast this tendency, the author suggests a tight commitment by the educational professionals, through competences and meta-competences, plural knowledges and own ethics, in order to promote in the young generations a passionate will of growing trough knowledge, emotions and relationships in a frame of self and social empowerment.El artículo propone una reflexión crítica sobre el contexto cultural, globalizado centrándose en particular en la "tristeza" que los caracterizan y sólo caen pesadamente sobre los jóvenes y adolescentes fuera de sus habilidades de diseño. Para contrarrestar esta tendencia y abierto a la posibilidad de "pasiones alegres" se refiere a los esfuerzos de la profesión de educador, su ética y su capacidad de "resistencia”. En particular, se destaca la importancia de "la sabiduría emocional" que mejora y enriquece la trama entre saber y de sentir y de alentar la fuerza en términos subjetivos y sociales la promoción de la pasión para crecer y participar en las relaciones, pacífica y rica en significado, con algo más.L’essai propose une réflexion critique sur les contextes culturels actuels, globalisés, en les arrêtant en particulier sur les «passions tristes» qui les connotent et qui retombent sur les jeunes et les adolescents, en éteignant leur capacité progettuale. Pour contrarier cette tendance et pour ouvrir à la possibilité de «passions joyeuses», il se fait référence à l’engagement de la professionnalité éducative, à l’empreinte éthique de sa déontologie et capacité de «résistance», aux compétences plurielles et méta-compétences qu’ils doivent la caractériser. En particulier on souligne l’importance d’un «savoir émotionnel» qui valorise et enrichisse l’entrelacement entre le connaître et le sentir et favorise l’empowerment au niveau subjectif et social en recevant la passion à grandir et à s’engager en relations, paisibles et riches de sens, avec l’autre de soi.Il saggio propone una riflessione critica sugli attuali contesti culturali, globalizzati, soffermandosi in particolare sulle «passioni tristi» che li connotano e che ricadono pesantemente proprio sui giovani e gli adolescenti, spegnendo la loro capacità progettuale. Per contrastare questa tendenza e aprire alla possibilità di «passioni gioiose», si fa riferimento all’impegno della professionalità educativa, all’impronta etica della sua deontologia e capacità di «resistenza», alle plurali competenze e metacompetenze che devono caratterizzarla. In particolare si sottolinea l’importanza di una «sapienza emozionale» che valorizzi e arricchisca l’intreccio fra il conoscere e il sentire e favorisca l’empowerment sul piano soggettivo e sociale promuovendo la passione a crescere e a impegnarsi in relazioni, pacifiche e ricche di senso, con l’altro da sé
Converse results to the Wiener attack on RSA
No full textA well-known attack on RSA with low secret-exponent d was given by Wiener about 15 years ago. Wiener showed that using continued fractions, one can efficiently recover the secret-exponent d from the public key (N,e) as long as d < N 1/4. Interestingly, Wiener stated that his attack may sometimes also work when d is slightly larger than N 1/4. This raises the question of how much larger d can be: could the attack work with non-negligible probability for d=N 1/4 + ρ for some constant ρ > 0? We answer this question in the negative by proving a converse to Wiener’s result. Our result shows that, for any fixed ε > 0 and all sufficiently large modulus lengths, Wiener’s attack succeeds with negligible probability over a random choice of d < N δ (in an interval of size Ω(N δ )) as soon as δ > 1/4 + ε. Thus Wiener’s success bound d<N 1/4 for his algorithm is essentially tight. We also obtain a converse result for a natural class of extensions of the Wiener attack, which are guaranteed to succeed even when δ > 1/4. The known attacks in this class (by Verheul and Van Tilborg and Dujella) run in exponential time, so it is natural to ask whether there exists an attack in this class with subexponential run-time. Our second converse result answers this question also in the negative
Giorgio Bassani saggista, verso “Il Giardino dei Finzi-Contini”
No full textIl percorso saggistico di Giorgio Bassani inizia quando il futuro autore de "Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini" è ancora uno studente universitario. La sua evoluzione fino agli Sessanta si rivela indispensabile alla formazione di quella idea di letteratura espressa nella maniera più compiuta all'interno del romanzo. Questo lavoro ricostruisce i singoli passaggi di questo percorso nel tentativo di osservare la maturazione dell'autore ferrarese nel continuo confronto con la letteratura coeva e non solo, fino alla "riflessione su se stesso" che occupa quasi per intero il lavoro saggistico dell'ultimo Bassani.
Giorgio Bassani's essayistic journey begins when the future author of "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" was still a university student. His evolution up to the Sixties proves indispensable to the formation of that idea of literature expressed in the most complete way within the novel. This work reconstructs the individual steps of this path in an attempt to observe the maturation of the Ferrarese author in the continuous comparison with contemporary literature and beyond, up to the "reflection on himself" which occupies almost the entire essayistic work of the late Bassani
Cryptanalysis of FORK-256
No full textIn this paper we present a cryptanalysis of a new 256-bit hash function, FORK-256, proposed by Hong et al. at FSE 2006. This cryptanalysis is based on some unexpected differentials existing for the step transformation. We show their possible uses in different attack scenarios by giving a 1-bit (resp. 2-bit) near collision attack against the full compression function of FORK-256 running with complexity of 2^125 (resp. 2^120) and with negligible memory, and by exhibiting a 22-bit near pseudo-collision. We also show that we can find collisions for the full compression function with a small amount of memory with complexity not exceeding 2^126.6 hash evaluations. We further show how to reduce this complexity to 2^109.6 hash computations by using 273 memory words. Finally, we show that this attack can be extended with no additional cost to find collisions for the full hash function, i.e. with the predefined IV
