«Una vera e non museografica conversazione di monumenti e di ambienti»: Guido Di Stefano e l’«azione urbanistica» nella Palermo del secondo dopoguerra
No full textL' articolo indaga gli scritti, le attività didattiche e le reti culturali dell'arte e dell'architettura siciliana storico Guido Di Stefano (1906-62). Concentrandosi sui suoi viaggi in Germania e sui suoi contatti con colleghi austriaci (Dagobert Frey), tedeschi (Wolfgang Krönig) ed eminenti colleghi italiani (Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti), l'autore legge la battaglia solitaria di Di Stefano contro la speculazione e il vandalismo nel settore immobiliare a Palermo, nonché il suo coinvolgimento nel stesura del piano urbano dopo la seconda guerra mondiale come aspetti specifici di un'idea di civiltà e impegno politico le cui radici possono essere identificate nell'influente pensiero filosofico di Benedetto Croce.This article investigates the writings, teaching activities and cultural networks of the Sicilian art and architectural
historian Guido Di Stefano (1906-62). By focussing on his travels to Germany and his contacts to Austrian (Dagobert

Stefano’s solitary battle against real estate speculation and vandalism in Palermo as well as his involvement in the
drafting of the urban plan after World War II as specific facets of an idea of civilization and political commitment
whose roots can be identified in Benedetto Croce’s influential philosophical thaught

Odoardo Fialetti (1573-c.1638): the interrelation of Venetian art and anatomy, and his importance in England
No full textBolognese artist Odoardo Fialetti (1573 – c.1638) is a fascinating figure upon which curiously little work has been done. Though he is a rarely discussed pupil of Tintoretto, Fialetti’s oeuvre is vast (some 55 known paintings and approximately 450 prints) and incredibly diverse. His work encompasses religious subjects, portraits, books on drawing and sport, maps, and illustration for treatises on city defences, literary texts, and anatomy. His work was influential for several hundred years after his death, not only in Venice and northern Italy, but also in France where his designs were used as decoration on faïence produced at Nevers, and England, where his paintings were much admired at court. Fialetti’s close association with Sir Henry Wotton, and the careful copy of his drawing book made by Alexander Browne in the mid-seventeenth century, attest to his impact on the formation of an Italianate sensibility in the appreciation of the visual arts in Early Modern England. In the realm of science, Fialetti’s influence can be deduced from his drawings of curiously animated cadavers in detailed landscapes to those of future generations of anatomists and illustrators throughout Europe. Because of the diverse associations and projects throughout his career, the study of Fialetti is inherently interdisciplinary, encompassing the history of art, history of science and history of the Venetian book trade, as well as crossing geographical boundaries in linking Venetian art and English tastes of the late renaissance and early baroque. Through examination of his extant oeuvre, as well as discussion of lost work, I aim to recognise Fialetti’s status as an artist responding to contemporary artistic debates (disegno versus colorito), a changing cultural climate and the burgeoning importance of the printed medium
The "Metz Epitome": Alexander (July, 330 B.C.-July, 325 B.C.). A commentary.
No full textThis historical commentary on the Metz Epitome, a late fragmentary account of Alexander's exploits, compares the work with the extant early Alexander historians. The sources of the anonymous author have much in common with the Cleitarchan historians, in particular, Diodorus Siculus and Quintus Curtius Rufus. Non-Cleitarchan elements in the text seem to reflect a certain affinity with a Hebraic tradition concerning Alexander. An examination of the author's methodology suggests that "epitome" is not an accurate description of the work in question. The anonymous author has achieved a unique portrait of Alexander and included information not found elsewhere. In view of its late authorship and the few new crumbs of historical fact it offers, the value of the Metz Epitome lies in its interpretation of Alexander's career rather than as a source for it

Alexander Curtis of the Marion Nine
No full textAlexander H. Curtis was born in Raleigh, NC on December 29, 1829. Ten years later he was brought to Alabama as the slave of E. Haywood and served as the waiting boy in the store of Stockton and Hunt. He moved to Marion to serve as the body servant for RT Gore from 1848 until 1850. After working as a barber for a time, he paid Mrs. E. Haywood $2000 for his freedom and left for New York soon afterward where he was freed in 1859. He returned to Marion after the Civil War to open a barbershop and a mercantile store
Equivalence between best responses and undominated
No full textFor games with expected utility maximizing players whose strategy sets are finite, Pearce (1984) shows that a strategy is strictly dominated by some mixed strategy, if and only if, this strategy is not a best response to some belief about opponents' strategy choice. This note generalizes Pearce's (1984) equivalence result to games with expected utility maximizing players whose strategy sets are arbitrary compact sets.
The Influence of the Specification of Climate Change Damages on the Social Cost of Carbon
No full textDrawing upon climate change damage specifications previously proposed in the literature that the authors have calibrated to a common level of damages at 2.5°C, the authors examine the effect upon the social cost of carbon (SCC) of varying damage specifications in a DICE-like integrated assessment model. They find that SCC estimates are highly sensitive to uncertainty in extrapolating damages to high temperatures at moderate-to-high levels of risk aversion, but only modestly so at low levels of risk aversion. While in the absence of risk aversion, all of the SCC estimates but one agree within a factor of two, with a moderate level of risk aversion included, the differences among estimates grow greatly. For example, one composite damage specification, combining elements of different literature-derived specifications and roughly taking into account calibration uncertainty, yields SCC values 32% higher than the standard quadratic DICE damage function in the absence of risk aversion. With a coefficient of relative risk aversion of 1.4, however, the same uncertain specification yields SCC values almost triple those of the standard function. The authors conclude that failure to consider damages uncertainty and risk aversion jointly can lead to significant underestimation of the SCC.Peer reviewedThe published version of this article is found at: http://www.economics-ejournal.org/economics/journalarticles/2012-1
