Agricolture urbanizzate per nuovi paesaggi metropolitani
Le “Agricolture urbanizzate” sono l’insieme di pratiche e sperimentazioni variamente connesse alla multifunzionalità agricola nei territori della diffusione insediativa.
Il lavoro di tesi delinea una strategia di paesaggio come modalità di lavoro concreta e ripetibile per la messa a punto di questi nuovi paesaggi metropolitani, forme innovative di equilibrio tra politica, agricoltura e comunità, e occasione di sperimentazione d’iniziative di Innovazione sociale.
La proposta scaturisce da un’originale disamina sull’attuale “grado di fertilità” delle teorie di paesaggio di Richard Ingersoll e Pierre Donadieu rispetto a soggetti, spazi, comportamenti e politiche coinvolti nella descrizione di una possibile geografia contemporanea delle relazioni città/campagna. La valorizzazione dei contesti metropolitani locali quale obiettivo della strategia presuppone il rifiuto di una visione vincolistica del progetto di paesaggio e lo svolgimento di Laboratori di progettualità sociale, azione-chiave per la costruzione delle nuove Agricolture Urbanizzate. La Green Infrastructure è assunta come vero e proprio “dispositivo di sistema” della strategia, strumento di progetto duttile e declinabile in grado di superare i problemi di frammentazione spaziale, funzionale, e amministrativa della città contemporanea. La proposta s’inquadra nello scenario economico relativo al Periodo di Programmazione Europea 2014-2020.This thesis outlines a landscape strategy for what the author defines “Urbanised Agricultures”, and signifies a set of practices and experimentations variously associated with multifunctional agriculture, the latter being a target of European policies since years.
The expression landscape strategy defines an assemblage of policies and local actions able both to restore and enhance peculiarities and dissimilarities of local metropolitan contexts (including their environmental, economic and social resources) and to fuel a new sociality, green economies, and innovative spatial configurations suitable for contemporary living needs.
The thesis sketches a landscape strategy which does not coincide with an a priori pre-figuration of space. It is rather a tool to manage ordinary territorial transformations and to hold together a variety of heterogeneous but coherent interventions, mutually conditioning. These interventions can be implemented through different actions and through the involvement of public and/or private entities, at different times. For this reason, although conceived for the territory of Rome, the landscape strategy here proposed is of general interest: it can be adapted and repeated in other European metropolitan areas. Three essential features characterise the landscape strategy:
- Peculiarities and differences for new Urbanised Agricultures (goals). “Peculiarities” and “differences” refer to the set of potential and needs expressed by a specific local community. Spaces, agents and activities are three categories used to interpret the metropolitan landscapes in relation to new Urbanised Agricultures. This interpretation is carried on in the light of “multifunctionality”, which guarantees an overall protection of rural land assumed as a collective good. Multifunctionality can be expressed through complex shapes, able to adapt to various contexts enriching their own specificities;
- System devices for new Urbanised Agricultures: green infrastructures (tool). The landscape strategy proposed by the author overcomes spatial, functional and administrative fragmentation of the contemporary city proposing green infrastructures as a “system device”. A green infrastructure can adapt to each territory’s specificities as a result of its network structure and its mutable structure, and can concentrate a set of very different spaces back to a single, coherent project system (spaces different for protection system, property rights, transformation potential, economic and financial opportunities, capability in providing ecosystem services, etc.);
- Social designing for new Urbanised Agricultures (actions). The landscape strategy does not impose any binding role to the project, and identifies the members of a community both as beneficiaries and as producers of their own life context; consequently, the landscape strategy proposes to conduct “Workshops of social designing” as key actions to define new Urbanised Agricultures. Workshops represent the place where an operational dialogue about current relations between rural and urban systems opens by using a project proposal. The goal is to build a network of individuals who share a co-responsibility in the production and management of their landscape, in relation to new job opportunities and new collective benefits (social, cultural and economic benefits, improvements in time organisation, enlarged welfare, etc.).
Structure of the research. The research is divided into three parts. Each part pursues “autonomously” a specific purpose but all converge towards the same direction – albeit in different ways – namely the definition of the landscape strategy.
- Part I. Modern evolutionary characters of urban/rural relationship (Concepts). The first part of the thesis aims at presenting the latest developments in the urban/rural relationship, by assuming three different points of view: organisation of rural society, urban planning, and town planning legislation. These three thematic interpretations show how city and countryside are two sides of the same evolution, outlining the historical and cultural transformation of fundamental concepts still detectable both in current dynamics (subjects of Part II), both in contemporary designers’ landscape theories (addressed in Part III);
- Part II. Contemporary geography of urban/rural relationship (People/tendencies/actions). The second part of the thesis intends to delineate a possible geography of contemporary relationships between cities and countryside. The resulting “map” emerges by the analysis of individuals, spaces and activities related to agricultural practices carried out in urban areas and noticeably relevant for their potential benefits to the city (these practices are already object of several urban policies in the realm of Europe 2020 Strategy). This study tends to demonstrate how the definition of more equitable and sustainable urban paradigms in metropolitan contexts passes through experimenting new forms of local-based multifunctional agriculture;
- Part III - Landscapes in progress: interpretations and proposals (critical comparative assessment and project proposal). The third part of the thesis aims to define a Landscape Strategy (goals, tools and actions) to foster new forms of Urbanized Agricultures for supporting local communities in metropolitan areas. A critical analysis of a series of landscape case studies allowed an investigation of the degree of fertility of Pierre Donadieu’s and Richard Ingersoll’s landscape theories. The examination highlights a sequence of elements able to support “potential projects” and which the author reorganised, re-interpreted and conveyed in a strategy for new metropolitan landscapes. This strategy understands a re-balance of urban-rural relations as an opportunity for experimenting initiatives of social innovation

“Pel di Carota” Proposta di traduzione dal russo di un racconto per l’infanzia di Sergej Alekseev
This work aims at providing a possible translation into Italian of a short story for children called "Ryžik" by Russian author Sergej Alekseev. The first chapter and second chapter are, respectively, an overview of the Soviet children's literature during the 20th century and an overview of the Soviet works translated and published in Italy in the period after WW2. The third chapter focuses on the topic of translating for children and its inherent challenges. The fourth chapter provides a short biography of the author and a description of his main works and his style. The fifth chapter consists of the suggested translation, followed by the sixth chapter, which is an analysis of the challenges encountered during the translation which deserve to be discussed more in depth. The main goal of this work is to introduce a new author into the Italian literary landscape, while giving children the chance to get in touch with the Russian culture and history since an early age
In muliere virum faciat opus est: Emotions as a Sign of Femininity or Rhetorical Tool in Humanist Panegyrics of Isotta Nogarola (1418–1466)
Literarno ustvarjanje ene prvih humanističnih avtoric, Isotte Nogarole, se je v zgodovini književnosti večinoma obravnavalo z vidika spola. Po prevladujočih interpretacijah naj bi si tako Nogarola pot v pretežno moške kroge humanistične rei publicae literariae utrla z namernim zatajevanjem svoje ženskosti, kar naj bi se odražalo predvsem v njenih izrazih čustev. Nasprotno pa pričujoči prispevek opozarja, da Nogarola čustva manjvrednosti, ponižnosti ali domnevne ženske šibkosti uporablja kot del uveljavljenih retoričnih strategij, denimo captatio benevolentiae. Podobno svoja dela prepleta z avtoironičnimi namigi na žensko klepetavost, hkrati pa svoj spol slavi skozi kataloge znamenitih žensk. Svojega spola tako nikakor ne potlači, temveč ga zavestno izpostavlja – in se v svojih delih izrecno predstavlja kot ženska avtorica.The literary output of one of the earliest female humanist authors, Isotta Nogarola, has for the most part been examined through the lens of gender. According to prevailing interpretations, Nogarola is thought to have gained access to the predominantly male circles of the humanist rei publicae litterariae by deliberately suppressing her femininity, a strategy supposedly linked above all to either the absence of emotion or the expression of inferiority. In contrast, the present contribution shows that Nogarola incorporates feelings of submissiveness, humility, or alleged female weakness into established rhetorical strategies such as captatio benevolentiae. In similar manner, she enriches her works with self-ironic allusions to feminine loquacity while simultaneously celebrating her gender through catalogues of illustrious women. She therefore does not suppress her sex; rather, she consciously foregrounds it and explicitly positions herself in her works as a female author
Episodi paralleli nel «Tristano» e nel «Vis e Rāmin» di Gorgāni (XI sec.)
Dopo una rapida presentazione del poema persiano medievale Vis e Rāmin e del suo autore Gorgāni (XI sec.), l’Autrice si sofferma brevemente sui personaggi paragonabili dei due romanzi, il Tristano e Isotta e il Vis e Rāmin, per poi passare alla disamina di alcuni dei momenti salienti
nelle due storie e all’analisi dei seguenti episodi paralleli: l’accompagnamento della promessa
sposa verso la corte del re sposo da parte del protagonista; l’inganno del marito-re operato da Vis e Isotta nel letto coniugale; la fuga degli amanti dal rogo/ordalia; il pentimento degli amanti; una richiesta epistolare di riconciliazione con il sovrano tradito da parte degli amanti; la separazione degli amanti benedetta dal re; il matrimonio del protagonista con un’altra donna; la morte dei protagonisti.After a quick presentation of the medieval Persian poem Vis and Rāmin and its author Gorgāni
(11th century), the Author briefly dwells on the comparable characters of the two verse novels,
the Tristan and Isolde and the Vis and Rāmin, before going on to examine some of the highlights
in the two stories and to analyze the following parallel episodes: the accompaniment of the promised bride to the court of the groom king by the protagonist; the deception of the husband-king operated by Vis and Isotta in the marriage bed; the escape of the lovers from the stake/ordeal; the repentance of the lovers; an epistle request for reconciliation with the betrayed sovereign by the lovers; the separation of the lovers, blessed by the king; the marriage of the main character with another woman; the death of the main characters
Isotta Nogarola : a humanista que a história esqueceu, 1418-1466 : contributo para uma visão sobre o humanismo feminino renascentista
Durante o Renascimento assistiu-se em Itália ao surgimento de um novo
fenómeno: o da mulher letrada, fruto de um entendimento do ethos que considerava o
desenvolvimento intelectual e emocional imprescindível para criar o homem – e a
mulher – perfeitos, e que produziu toda uma nova geração de mulheres cultas,
sofisticadas e determinadas, oriundas das classes superiores.
No entanto, as poderosas famílias italianas que prezavam a cultura antiga e que
providenciavam para que as suas filhas, tal como os seus filhos, recebessem uma
cuidada instrução literária e até mesmo filosófica, não esperavam que estas tivessem
uma vida académica e literária ativa, mas que fossem poetisas, que conseguissem
expressar de forma sublime os seus sentimentos, influenciando os varões das suas
famílias ou até mesmo moderando a agressividade dos seus impulsos masculinos. Em
suma, não se esperava que estas mulheres “pensassem em público”.
Neste estudo propomo-nos analisar a vida e obra de Isotta Nogarola, a qual,
segundo Maria José Bertolomeu Masiá, foi considerada a primeira mulher realmente
culta do Renascimento e que tentou seguir uma carreira académica no meio
exclusivamente masculino dos primórdios do Humanismo. Numa época pouco
favorável às mulheres que tentavam escrever algo mais do que versos, esta humanista
italiana conta-se entre esse escasso número de mulheres que, transgredindo as regras do
silêncio imposto ao seu género, enfrentaram a solidão e o desprezo de uma sociedade
que não lhes queria dar voz.
A fim de melhor compreender a importância da sua produção literária e partindo
da leitura crítica da sua obra, propomo-nos contextualizá-la como uma autora feminina
que esteve ativa no período formativo dos studia humanitatis, transmitindo
simultaneamente os conceitos, referências e estilo da sua obra e traçando a trajetória da
sua carreira através de dados biográficos e históricos, com o objetivo de a enquadrar na
produção cultural do Quattrocento.During the Renaissance, Italy witnessed the emergence of a new phenomenon:
the learned woman, as a result of an understanding of ethos that considered intellectual
and emotional development essential to create the perfect man and woman which
produced a whole new generation of educated, sophisticated and strong-minded women,
coming from the upper classes.
However, the powerful Italian families who prized ancient culture and who
arranged for their daughters, as well as their sons, to receive a thorough literary and
even philosophical instruction, had not anticipated such an active academic and literary
life for their daughters, who were expected to be poets, so that they could express their
feelings in sublime ways, thus influencing their family men or even moderating the
aggressiveness of their male urges. In short, it was not expected that these women could
"think in public."
In this study, we will analyse the life and works of Isotta Nogarola who,
according to Maria José Bertolomeu Masiá, was considered the first truly educated
woman of the Renaissance and attempted to follow an academic career in the circles of
the exclusively male beginnings of Humanism. In an unfavourable time to women who
tried to write something more than verses, this Italian humanist is among the small
number of women who, breaking the rules of silence imposed on her gender, faced
loneliness and despair in a society that did not want to give them a voice.
In order to better understand the importance of her literary production and
starting from the critical reading of her work, we propose to contextualize her as a
female author who was active in the formative period of studia humanitatis, and
simultaneously provide the concepts, references and style of her work, tracing the path
of her career through biographical and historical data, for the purpose of outlining her in
the cultural production of Quattrocento

Educational Models of Social Cohesion in Marginal Contexts: The Social Space as an Educational Agent
[EN] The main objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between the advance of social marginality and education as a tool of social cohesion, making an exploratory study of a qualitative nature that is limited to the scope of the doctoral study by the same author, started in 2015: “Advanced Marginality and Social Space: New Models of Cohesion, El cado de Torreblanca”. Advanced marginality (Wacquant in Parias urbanos. Marginalidad en la ciudad a comienzos del milenio. Ediciones Manantial, Buenos Aires, 2006), shows the constant advance of the phenomenon, and the need for new public policies and social inclusion. Democracy—understood as an aspiration to the realization of the well-being of every individual that does not correspond to mere principles of utility, but to the possibilities of action and choice within alternative combinations accessible to all—has as its primary objective the training of all citizens (Sen in La libertà individuale come impegno sociale. Editori laterza, Bari, 2007). In a democratic government, one way to offer this set of capacity-action that Sen (La libertà individuale come impegno sociale. Editori laterza, Bari, 2007) defines as a capability, could be to invest in education, in the construction of a paideia, promoter of rights and opportunities, capable of really making the free individual. Education has to be, then, a protagonist in the construction of social spaces—which become educational agents—in which people can show, with facts and words, who they are and what they can do (Arendt in Men in the Dark Times. Ancourt Brace, New York, 1986), through an educational model oriented to human development (Nussbaum in Creare capacità. Liberarsi dalla dittatura del Pi, Bologna, 2012), and to promote educational experiences of social cohesion, which start from the focal point that each human being is constituted as a being whose singularity is realized in plurality (Mortari in A scuola di libertà. Formazione e Pensiero autonomo. Raffaello Cortina, Milano, 2008)
