Il gioco dei ruoli. Avanguardia e tradizione in Mein Herz e Der Malik di Else Lasker-Schüler
No full textElse Lansker-Schueler always tried to present her existence as a legend or a fairy tale.
Her literary production is entirely based on the strong subjectivism of the german expressionism;
also the Hebrew Mythology and its imagery is an important source of inspiration.
The author,lying about her real life, constantly remains on the border between the Reality and the Poetry.
The Lansker-Schuler's idea of a perfect identity between Life and Literature has brought as a consequence
that her texts are read as a spontaneous poetization of her biography.
Nonetheless, her literary production and letters are neither an ingenuous (auto)biography in line or in prose,
nor a sure documetary source.
In this essay I will explain that this attitude is nothing but the poetic construction of the Modernity central experience:
the Subject, according to Frederick Nietzsche's Philosophy, is conscious that any social, religious, moral system
is fictitious. Thinking so, only an autonomous poetic world can assure the (linguistic) surviving of the Ego.
To demonstrate this hypothesis, I will focus on two prose texts which Else Lansker-Schuler composed,
being inspired by her artistic and intellectual world (The berlin Bohème): Mein Herz (1912) and Der Malik (1919).
In particular, I will deal with two elements, which are important in the representation of the Ego
and in the construction of a language imagery: 1) The choice of the epistolary style; 2) the interaction between the roles
played by the "Writing Ego" and by the surrounding characters
La metropoli dell’agente ich=Spaik: Libidissi di Georg Klein
No full textMy paper focuses on Georg Klein’s Libidissi (1998) as an example of a new spy-story in contemporary German literature. Combining the analysis of the role of the German spy ich=Spaik, the main figure of Klein’s novel, with a mapping of the geographies of the city Libidissi, I will point out to what extent the author poses a challenge to the tradition of the spy-story and in what way he considers Ich=Spaik’s activities, intending them not only as an operation of espionage, but especially as a persistent questioning of a problematic identity, of a figure, who is continuously confronting the image of his native country, his original belonging with the Other. The representation of ich=Spaik’s ‘displaced’ identity and his approach to the landscape, the (in)visible town Libidissi, will be debated on two specific aspects: the paradigms of Self vs Other and of center vs periphery

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has dramatically worsened people’s psychological well-being. Our aim was to examine for the first time the concurrent and longitudinal relations of family resilience with hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and the moderating role of socio-demographics. For people having a romantic partner, we also explored whether family resilience and dyadic coping were uniquely related to well-being. One cross-sectional study (N = 325) and one 10-week follow-up study (N = 112) were carried out during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (April–May 2020) in Northern Italy. Adult participants completed an online questionnaire in both studies. Correlation, multivariate regression, and moderation analyses were carried out with IBM SPSS version 28 and its PROCESS macro. Significance of differences in correlation and regression coefficients was tested through Steiger’s procedure, Wald test, and SUEST method. Family resilience was found to relate more strongly to eudaimonic (versus hedonic) well-being concurrently and to hedonic (versus eudaimonic) well-being longitudinally. The concurrent or longitudinal relations with hedonic well-being were generally stronger for females, part-time workers, and people undergoing multiple stressors. For people having a romantic partner, family resilience was concurrently associated with well-being independently of dyadic coping, whereas dyadic coping was longitudinally related to well-being independently of family resilience. Family resilience was found to protect, in the short term, the psychological well-being of people facing the pandemic outbreak. Its protective role mainly concerned hedonic well-being and was more pronounced for more vulnerable people. For persons having a romantic partner, however, dyadic coping seemed to have equal, if not greater, positive short-term effects
Low dimensional completely resonant tori in Hamiltonian Lattices and a Theorem of Poincaré
No full textWe present an extension of a classical result of Poincaré (1892) about continuation of periodic orbits and breaking of completely resonant tori in a class of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems, which covers most Hamiltonian Lattice models. The result is based on the fixed point method of the period map and exploits a standard perturbation expansion of the solution with respect to a small parameter. Two different statements are given, about existence and linear stability: a first one, in the so called non-degenerate case, and a second one, in the completely degenerate case. A pair of examples inspired to the existence of localized solutions in the discrete NLS lattice is provided
Approximation of small-amplitude weakly coupled oscillators by discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equations
No full textSmall-amplitude weakly coupled oscillators of the Klein-Gordon lattices are
approximated by equations of the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger type. We show
how to justify this approximation by two methods, which have been very popular
in the recent literature. The first method relies on a priori energy estimates
and multi-scale decompositions. The second method is based on a resonant normal
form theorem. We show that although the two methods are different in the
implementation, they produce equivalent results as the end product. We also
discuss applications of the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the
context of existence and stability of breathers of the Klein--Gordon lattice
Generalized Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger as a Normal Form at the Thermodynamic Limit for the Klein–Gordon Chain
No full textA still open challenge in Hamiltonian dynamics is the development of a perturbation theory for Hamiltonian systems with an arbitrarily large number of degrees of freedom and, in particular, in the thermodynamic limit. Indeed, motivated by the problems arising in the foundations of Statistical Mechanics, it is relevant to consider large systems (e.g., for a model of a crystal the number of particles should be of the order of the Avogadro number) with non vanishing energy per particle (which corresponds to a non zero temperature in the physical model)
Existence and Stability of Klein–Gordon Breathers in the Small-Amplitude Limit
No full textWe consider a discrete Klein–Gordon (dKG) equation on Open image in new window in the limit of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (dNLS) equation, for which small-amplitude breathers have precise scaling with respect to the small coupling strength . By using the classical Lyapunov–Schmidt method, we show existence and linear stability of the KG breather from existence and linear stability of the corresponding dNLS soliton. Nonlinear stability, for an exponentially long time scale of the order O(exp(ε−1)) , is obtained via the normal form technique, together with higher order approximations of the KG breather through perturbations of the corresponding dNLS soliton
Continuation of spatially localized periodic solutions in discrete NLS lattices via normal forms
No full textWe consider the problem of the continuation with respect to a small parameter ɛ of spatially localized and time periodic solutions in 1-dimensional dNLS lattices, where ɛ represents the strength of the interaction among the sites on the lattice. Specifically, we consider different dNLS models and apply a recently developed normal form algorithm in order to investigate the continuation and the linear stability of degenerate localized periodic orbits on lower and full dimensional invariant resonant tori. We recover results already existing in the literature and provide new insightful ones, both for discrete solitons and for invariant subtori
