Le conquiste di Clio. Mascardi, Muratori, Manzoni
No full textFin dalla "Poetica" di Aristotele il rapporto tra letteratura e storia rappresenta un nodo problematico decisivo per lo svolgimento della futura estetica occidentale. Il saggio ripercorre alcuni momenti significativi di tale dibattito, che coinvolge i concetti di vero, verisimile e meraviglioso, nel tentativo di mostrare il progressivo affrancamento della storia dalla condizione di minorità rispetto alla poesia cui era stata condannata dalla riflessione aristotelica. Attraverso le pagine di Tasso, Castelvetro, Mascardi, Muratori e Manzoni, si delinea un percorso che dai "Discorsi" tassiani conduce alle considerazioni consegnate da Manzoni alle pagine del trattato "Del romanzo storico", nelle quali si prende atto dei progressi della moderna storiografia e del rinnovato dialogo che si viene ad instaurare tra scrittura creativa e narrazione storica
Cesare fra le marionette. Romanzo storico e teatro di figura
No full textIl contributo ricostruisce la storia della ricezione del romanzo di Cesare Cantù, "Margherita Pusterla" (1838). Vengono segnalate e descritte le numerose transcodificazioni per il melodramma, il balletto, il teatro di figura per adulti e per ragazzi, così da testimoniare la notevole fortuna goduta dal romanzo canturiano e dalla sua protagonista per tutto l'Ottocento e per buona parte del Novecento. Di notevole interesse le versioni marionettistiche inedite e fino ad oggi totalmente trascurate dalla critica letteraria

Percutaneous absorption of crotamiton in man following single and multiple dosing Cutan Ocul Toxicol
No full textAbstract
PURPOSE: Crotamiton is a topical drug used in the treatment of scabies and pruritus. We determined its percutaneous absorption following single and multiple dosing in normal skin. METHODS: We used in vivo measurement of percutaneous absorption of [14C] crotamiton in a multidose regimen by measuring urinary excretion and liquid scintillation counting in three groups of four healthy volunteers. The Feldmann urinary excretion method was utilized to ascertain percutaneous absorption. Our results showed that tape stripping does not increase percutaneous absorption of crotamiton; upon repeated application
Mycosis fungoides: A unusual clinical presentation
No full textThe Authors describe a case of a 69-year-old woman who presented by two years erythematous, markedly hyperkeratotic and pruritic plaques with sharp borders on the palms and soles. Were also presents in these plaques deep vesicopustolar lesions. The patient was evaluated by other dermatologists that diagnosticated allergic contact dermatitis: patch tests confirmed theirs diagnosis (positivity for nickel and other substances). Fungal culture was negative. The lesions were treated with daily topical applications of a corticosteroid treaitment having a partial resolution. In consequence of the interruption of the therapy, the dermatosis flared up again. The clinical features gave evidence for psoriasis. A biopsy specimen taken from the right palm showed marked parakeratosis, acanthosis and diffuse infiltrate in the papillary dermis. The dermal bandlike infiltrate was composed of lymphocites and cells with hyperchromatic irregurarly shaped nuclei (mycosis cells). Immunohistochemistry confirmed diagnosis of mycosis fungoides. Further examinations excluded visceral involvement. The patient was treated with daily topical applications of mechlorethamine (nitrogen mustard). Before establishing the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides palmoplantaris (MFPP) has been diagnosed as dermatophyte infection, contact dermatitis and palmoplantar psoriasis. In summary, MFPP is an expression of MF that sometime initially presents and mimics many common palmoplantar dermatoses. A biopsy is recommended in the evaluation of unresponsive, chronic palmoplantar lesions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
