PROTEGGERE I PRIVILEGI DELLO STRANIERO. I CONSOLI VENEZIANI NELL'IMPERO OTTOMANO TRA SEI E SETTECENTO
No full textIn recent years, the research questions of foreigners and of the commercial use of consuls has attracted renewed scholarly attention. This dissertation aims to continue the reflections of these works by focusing on rights and privileges of protected foreign subjects and consuls during the early modern period. By examining the status of Venetian subjects and consuls in early modern Ottoman society this dissertation underscores the processes of identification that determined the social inclusion or exclusion of individuals among the category of protected foreigners.
The dissertation has three main goals. The first is to analyse the professional and social background of consuls in the Eastern Mediterranean between seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This point focuses on the ability of some individuals to enjoy some privileges, from which non-Muslim “locals” were excluded, by constituting social associations with the Republic of Venice. The second goal is to examine the reasons that motivated these individuals to seek a formal recognition of their status as consuls. This examination underscores the processes of appointment of consuls and the role of candidates on the configuration of consular systems. The last goal proposes an analysis of the role played by Venetian consuls in the diffusion of legal procedures of identification and registration, and it focuses on the use of legal and diplomatic resources in identification disputes. It particularly points out which were the documents and social practices that determined one’s membership and his registration in the Venetian nation in the Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, it analyses identification disputes dating from 1670 to 1715 between Venetian consuls and Ottomans officials by focusing on how the cross-cultural diplomatic negotiations of these disputes were channeled through the Ottoman petition system.
The cases presented will provide important insights on the instability of belonging, in which the classification of individuals was determined by rigid fiscal and legal categories as well as by more fluid social relations. This dissertation aims, therefore, to offer a new consideration on the utility of consuls for the different social groups that benefitted from consular services dating from 1670 to 1715. Overall, it seeks to demonstrate that the consulates in the Ottoman Empire, interpreted in their social utility, must be considered as actors able of influencing jurisdictional practices and creating new norms through constant negotiations with institutions and with individual actors.
This dissertation relies on documentation preserved at the Archivio di Stato di Venezia — in most cases, letters sent by the Venetian consuls to the bailo, the permanent ambassador in Istanbul. Usually contained petitionary reports, these consular letters rhetorically requested the restoration of justice, that is to say, either the enforcement of a legal resource or the redress of unjust identification committed by the local authorities. Decrees and letters written by different Venetian institution concerning consuls, trade and migration policy will be analysed to underscore the efficiency consuls had for the Venetian government. Finally, studying legal documents produced by consulate chancellery provide an important insight into the social life of the Venetian community in the Ottoman Empire. This research casts light upon institutional resources available to social actors to produce evidence of their own identity in a context of jurisdictional competition. But it will also show how the ability to enjoy some privileges, and not only some rights, through diplomatic negotiation decided the classification of people as foreigners or subjects
Decisioni relative alle sponsorizzazioni. Tendenze in Italia.
No full textTradizionalmente il mix promozionale di marketing è formato da pubblicità, promozione dellevendite, vendita personale e pubbliche relazioni. Le sponsorizzazioni si inseriscono all’internodi queste ultime attività che concorrono, in linea teorica, a costruire un’immagine positivadell’impresa, a rafforzare la consapevolezza e la conoscenza del brand, avendo anche lo scopodi consolidare la motivazione del personale interno. Gli elementi prioritari in una buonagestione delle scelte di sponsorizzazione sono generalmente: la coerenza con l’immagine e ilposizionamento del brand, l’aderenza al target, il grado di differenziazione dai concorrenti, lacongruenza con le scelte di communication-mix, la limitazione e il controllo delle distorsionio dei rumori di tale canale di comunicazione.In relazione ai tipi di sponsorizzazioni, diversi possono essere gli obiettivi connessi.Sponsorizzare eventi artistici o sportivi sta diventando uno strumento sempre più utilizzatoper generare impressioni positive nei confronti dell’impresa o del brand (Cherubini, 1998,Blythe, 2006). Il sostegno delle imprese a cause sociali o di interesse generale potrebbesostituire la pratica delle donazioni filantropiche, consentendo un più rapido raggiungimentodi obiettivi strategici di marketing (aumento vendite, migliore immagine, trade marketing)(Meenagham, 1998). Alcuni autori (Blythe, 2006) sostengono che a volte le sponsorizzazionihanno più credibilità rispetto alla pubblicità, generando positive ricadute di marketing aminori costi. Infatti le sponsorizzazioni offrono delle diverse opzioni comunicative,partecipano a momenti speciali e personali rilevanti nella vita dei consumatori,approfondendo la relazione con gli stessi, per perseguire vari obiettivi (Keller, Busacca,Ostillio, 2005):– identificare la marca con un particolare target o stile di vita;– aumentare la consapevolezza dell’azienda o del prodotto;– creare o rafforzare la percezione da parte dei consumatori;– promuovere l’immagine dell’impresa, esplicitandone l’impegno nei confronti dellacomunità o di problemi sociali;– creare un’esperienza caratterizzata da elevato valore emotivo;– intrattenere clienti importanti o premiare dipendenti meritevoli;– creare opportunità promozionali o di merchandising.-Convegno Le Tendenze di Marketing- Parigi 26-27 gennaio 20073E’ evidente altresì come le sponsorizzazioni possano essere caratterizzate da eventiimprevedibili e non sempre controllabili che possono vanificare gli investimenti fatti; è altresìimportante monitorare la percezione che il target-cliente ha delle sponsorizzazioni stesse ondeevitare un gap tra la percezione del target e l’auto-valutazione aziendale.Sull’importanza delle sponsorizzazioni come mezzo di comunicazione di marketingnumerose sono le ricerche che verificano quanto sia effettivamente un fenomeno mondiale. Inquesto quadro l’Italia, ad esempio, si colloca tra i sei Paesi che più investono insponsorizzazioni e che da soli rappresentano il 70% delle spese totali nel settore (Lambin,2004). E in tal senso si è mosso il presente lavoro con uno studio esplorativo per interpretare echiarire l’orientamento pragmatico relativo al processo decisionale collegato allesponsorizzazioni in Italia

Paranoia and irony in the Anglophone dectective narrative and the novels of Umberto Eco
No full textThe thesis provides a reading of Umberto Eco's three novels, The Name of the
Rose, Foucault's Pendulum, and The Island of the Day Before, that, while it
acknowledges the importance of the Italian literary tradition in which they stand, also
seeks to explain why their author appeals so frequently to literary models outside
Italy, and in particular the Anglo-American detective genre.
Chapter One explains Eco's relationship to the development of Italian literature
through his lifetime. It is noted that Eco is beginning, both in his semiotics and his
fiction, from a position where post-structuralism has been extensively explored by
neo-avant-gardew riters. Eco positions himself alongsides uchw riters as Italo Calvino
and Jorge Luis Borges, who wish to explore the ludic possibilities of working within
structures, while all the time acknowledging the epistemological limitations of so
doing. Eco's chosen structure, more often than not, is the highly defined genre of
the detective story.
From here, the following chapters engage in close readings of the three novels,
with particular emphasis on The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum,
demonstrating that they explore problems of interpretation central to the detective
narrative. In doing this, they display an intimate knowledge of generic developments
within the detective tradition, and of the philosophical and aesthetic uses made of the
genre by other writers. The embedding of intertextual references to other detective
narratives within Eco's novels is an important factor, as they come together to form
a narrative of epistemological inquiry that itself follows Eco's philosophical progress
through the years. In short, the novels, inter alia, map a systematic inquiry into the
possibility of systematic inquiry. They reserve the space to engage in such an ironic
and self-referential project precisely through their fictionality
