Walter Pater : Reception, Rewriting, Adaptation
No full textWalter Pater: Reception, Rewriting, Adaptation revitalises the field of Pater studies at the
intersection between Italian and international critical traditions on the fin de siècle.
Much can be said on Pater in the light of recent critical pronouncements. The renewed focus on his
role as a classicist, or as a precursor of twentieth-century cultural theory, or as a sophisticated
practitioner of intertextuality, all offer material for discussion. Walter Pater: Reception, Rewriting,
Adaptation adopts these trends to read Pater’s work from the perspective of diverse forms of
intertextuality that are recurrent in his perception of past and present Western culture.
Pater was such a multifaceted author that the imbricated presence of a variety of texts, not
necessarily literary, in his writings is anything but surprising. In particular, both classical and
modern myths are a constant in his appropriations and may provide fresh ideas for further research.
Pater’s reception and rewriting of Italian culture is another underexplored topic and a main concern
of this volume. The diverse modes of appropriation here selected and combined will allow us to
gain a new appreciation of the complexity of Pater’s textuality
The place of variation in phonological theory
No full textThis paper aims to give a 'state-of-the-art' introduction to the study of phonological variation in phonological theory. The discussion is structured around the question of where variation is located in the phonological component.We start with the view that variation is strictly a property of 'late'processes, which is consistent with the phonetically gradient nature of many cases of variation. We go on to discuss evidence that variation also has characteristics of 'early' phonology: it is conditioned both by morphology and by lexical idiosyncrasy. Our theoretical focus is on constraint-based approaches to variation, in OT and related theories with numerically valued weights. We pay special attention to the interaction of the lexicon with variation, an aspect of current theories that remains underdeveloped. We also provide a formal comparison of these theories with Labovian variable rules.The publisher of the book in which this excerpt appears does not permit the archiving of this or any other version of the excerpt in the Rutgers Optimality Archive.

L'incipit del Pater noster (Mt. 6, 9) (proposta di correzione della formula ...qui es in caelis)
Get PDFL'autore ha tentato di dimostrare -- magari soltanto come provocazione, o ludus intellettuale --, anche attraverso il confronto con alcuni esempi di prosatori greci, che la traduzione latina (la cosiddetta «Vulgata») dell'invocazione iniziale del «Pater noster» non corrisponde perfettamente, sotto l'aspetto sintattico, e di conseguenza concettuale, all'originale greco: la versione ideale, più esatta, anziché Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sarebbe *Pater noster caelestis. Anche le traduzioni in alcune lingue moderne, in quanto rifatte sulla versione latina, sono soggette allo stesso difetto, e dunque anch'esse suscettibili di correzione.The author has tried to demonstrate -maybe only as a provocation or intellectual ludus-, also through a comparison with some examples from Greek prose writers, that the Latin translation (the so called Vulgata) of the initial invocation of the Pater noster does not correspond perfectly, under the syntactical -and consequently conceptual- aspect, to the Greek original: the more correct ideal version, instead of Pater noster, qui es in caelis, should be *Pater noster caelestis. Also the translations into some modern languages, being done on the Latin version, are subject to the same defect, and so they too are susceptible of emendation
The Platonism of Walter Pater
Get PDFAfter graduating from the Literae Humaniores course, which after the mid-nineteenth century came to revolve around Plato’s Republic, Walter Pater’s (1839-1894) professional duties spanning thirty years at Oxford were those of a philosophy teacher and lecturer of Plato. This thesis examines Pater’s deep engagement with Platonism in his work, from his earliest known piece, “Diaphaneitè” (1864), to his final book, Plato and Platonism (1893), treating both his criticism and fiction, including his studies on myth. Plato is an ideal philosopher, critic, and artist to Pater, exemplifying a literary craftsman who blends genres with the highest authority. Platonism is a point of contact with several of Pater’s contemporaries, such as Arnold and Wilde, from which we can take new measure of their critical relationships regarding aestheticism and Decadence. Pater’s idea of aesthetic education takes Platonism for its model, which heightens one’s awareness of reality in the recognition of form and matter. Platonism also provides a framework for critical encounters with figures across history, such as Wordsworth, Michelangelo and Pico della Mirandola in The Renaissance (1873), Marcus Aurelius and Apuleius in Marius the Epicurean (1885), and Montaigne and Giordano Bruno in Gaston de Latour (1896). In the manner Platonism holds that soul or mind is the essence of a person, Pater’s criticism, evident even in his fiction, seeks the mind of the author, so that his writing enacts Platonic love. Through close reading, we highlight his many references to Plato, identify Platonic subjects and themes, and explore etymological nuances in the very selection of his words, which often reveals a Platonic tendency of refinement towards immateriality, from seen to unseen beauty. As a teacher and an author Pater helped shape Oxonian Platonism, and through his writing we examine how Platonism informs his philosophy of aesthetics, history, myth, epistemology, ethics, language, and style

Jupiter's radiation belts at 13.8 GHz
No full textThe Jupiter flyby of Cassini in 2001 allowed to study the gas giant in detail. Jupiter’s inner magnetosphere is populated by high energy particles, causing an intense radiation observable throughout the microwave regime. The re-calibration of the Cassini RADAR instrument has allowed for constraining the energy distribution of the electron population indicating a lack of high energy particles. Maps of the synchrotron radiation indicate a redistribution of the electrons compared to other epochs, confirming that the magnetosphere was in a highly disturbed stat. The retrieval accounted for the thermal emission from Jupiter and required depleting the polar regions of ammonia.Aerospace EngineeringSpace Engineerin
