No full textMisurare le leggi del tempo: considerazioni preliminari su Vremja – mera mira di Velimir Chlebnikov
No full textIn this paper we aim to analyse those elements, which can formally ascribed to Math, in the essay "Vremja – mera mira", written by Velimir Khlebnikov between 1915-1916. This text has been largely neglected to date, most likely due to the complex mathematical language employed by Khlebnikov. We propose a reconstruction and an interpretation of most of the mathematical expressions used by Khlebnikov, including a passage that explains the origin of the number 48 - a number ubiquitous in Khlebnikov's "scientific" works. We also highlight some evidence suggesting that Khlebnikov's ideas were influenced by the ideas of Sir Rowan Hamilton. In particular, we argue that Khlebnikov re-elaborated Hamilton's interpretation of Algebra as the Science of Pure Time: in Khlebnikov's view, Algebra does not only derive from the notion of Time but can reveal the nature of Time itself

No full textA imagem de Alessandro Baricco no Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here
La dialettica delle auctoritates da Aristotele ad Alberto Magno
No full textLa dialettica, cioè l’interazione fra le differenti 'auctoritates' che costituiscono la trama dei commentari sull’Aristotele delle opere naturalistiche nel XII e XIII secolo, è esaminata in questo studio attraverso l’impiego delle diverse modalità argomentative ('digressio', 'paraphrasis'), di cui si serve Alberto Magno nei suoi trattati scientifici su base aristotelica. Più in particolare sono qui considerati come 'specimen' interpretativo i 'Meteora' , il commento di Alberto ai 'Meteorologica' di Aristotele, nelle cui 'digressiones', veri e propri angoli di chiarimento, di approfondimento e di discussione di 'quaestiones' poste dal testo aristotelico conosciuto da Alberto nella versione arabo-latina di Gerardo da Cremona, s’incrociano e si confrontano 'auctores' greci, latini, arabi, quali Avicenna col' De mineralibus' che si fa significativamente testimone di passi perduti nella tradizione araba dei ‘Meteorologica’ di Aristotele, Alessandro di Afrodisia anch’egli commentatore della stessa opera aristotelica, scritti conosciuti entrambi nella traduzione di Alfredo Anglico, e Seneca delle Naturales quaestiones, ma anche 'auctoritates' anonime come gli 'alchimici', o come il 'Liber ignium' attribuito a Marchus Graecus, che fondano la loro conoscenza sull’esperienza, molto importanti per Alberto Magno 'experimentator', avviato criticamente verso nuove e più avanzate forme d’indagine scientifica, andando oltre la tradizione degli Antichi
Dinamiche di ricezione e rilettura di un autore e della sua opera: Alberto Moravia e gli scrittori arabi
No full textAlberto Moravia may well be the most widely known and read Italian author in Arab- ic-speaking countries. At the same time and in spite of that fact, studies of his writings in Arabic are rare. This essay analyzes references to Moravia and discussions of both him and his works written by Arab writers since the Sixties. Those references and discussions have been published in newspapers, periodicals, journals and, in some cases, in autobio- graphies. For the most part, the principal topic of the sources analyzed here has little or nothing to do with Italian literature. Through such very short citations which often leave a great deal to the readers' knowledge and understanding, Moravia is thus listed as being one of world literature’s major representatives: and, on such a basis it can be argued that he has been one of the most formative authors for successive generations of Arab writers. That said however, these literary references appear to be quite standardized, while at the same time the Arab authors who use them seem to be trying to facilitate their own placement in the wider ranks of literary authority(ies). On the other hand, there are other newspaper articles that briefly mention only one aspect of Moravia's production or one of his works or characters; in still other cases Arab writers will talk about their own relationship with Moravia, apparently as a mode of self-reference to be appended to their own intellectual curriculum vitae. At the conclusion of this essay a series of questions is asked as to what kind of influence the Italian writer has actually had on Arab authors
Forme di intensificazione e identità degeneri. Strategie identitarie ed esempi di alterità nel De reditu suo di Rutilio Namaziano
No full textThis paper focuses on Rutilius Namatianus, praefectus Urbi, who around 417 AD. is forced from Rome to return to his native Gaul, to take care of his possessions. He tells of this journey in De reditu suo, after years of political commitment at the highest levels in the city: during the stops of the journey the author provides large portraits of friends and associates, which he praises virtutes and cursus honorum of. The constant reference to the office of the urban prefecture (or other high government offices) suggests the concern of Rutilius for what makes Rome an excellent place of civilization: temples, roads, aque-ducts, ports, infrastructures that were under direct responsibility of praefectus Urbi. These elements are very significant in the very moment of serious identity crisis in the senatorial class. Rutilius through the portraits of his associates builds the image of a so-cial structure that wants to present itself as the true custodian of the values of the senato-rial class, but not really compact and therefore in need of a renewed identity model. On the other side the invectives and the merciless portraits are served for the "others", the anti-models, who counterbalance this model to be renewed; perhaps the most insidious forms of otherness are the degenerate forms of identical, who - contrary to expectations - deny or subvert the identity model of the senatorial class. Finally, examples of perma-nent liminality are the iuvenis of Gorgona and the shameful lineage of Lepidi, real dys-functional models of identity
SIRIO : Integrated Forest Firesmonitoring, detection and decision supportsystem with low cost commercial sensorssuited for complex orography
No full textForest Fires in our society cause a lot of damage, in particular regarding the economic and environmental landscape. In order to monitor a large portion of territory automatically, with a good cost/performances trade-off, it is necessary to develop new early warning systems. We propose a ground-based system with modular architecture, equipped with low cost commercial sensor. The idea is to develop the software able to manage the forest fires monitoring. The technique is based on Static and Dynamic analysis of chromatic changes between images, tailored for our case of study in a large scale monitoring of vegetation and using different sensors to reduce or eliminate the false alarm rate. Concerning the image geo-referencing tool, the present work describes an innovative projective geo-referencing algorithm able to geo-reference complex orography regions using fixed ground station images. Besides, it does not need the collection of Ground Control Points, which is a very hard task in complex orography environments. In order to make a user oriented product and to help the operator during extinguishing activities, a decision support tool has been developed as well. This work presents the results of one year monitoring campaign conducted in cooperation with the Civil Protection Offices in Sanremo (IM), Ital
