Migrazioni e schiavi in Roma imperiale. Cenni ed episodi
No full textL’autore si concentra su aspetti e problemi di storia del diritto romano connessi ai fenomeni migratori a Roma nell’epoca dell’espansione. Pone peraltro in rilievo che pure alla condizione giuridica personale di schiavo ci si sottoponeva talora non coercitivamente, bensì mediante la vendita di sé stessi come schiavi e la venuta a Roma. Svolge anche alcune considerazioni su flussi e consistenza numerica degli immigrati e della schiavitù nel contesto della mobilità nell’età imperiale, per concludere con rapidi cenni sugli inizi delle invasioni straniere nell’età tardoantica.The author concentrates on aspects and problems of the history of Roman law related to migration phenomena in Rome during the era of expansion. Moreover, he emphasized that the personal legal status of slave, sometimes were not subjected with coercion, but with the sale of themselves as slaves and the coming to Rome. He also makes some observations on the flows and numerical consistency of immigrants and slavery in the context of mobility in the imperial age, to conclude with a brief outline of the beginnings of foreign invasions in the Late Antiquity

CLiC-it 2020 - Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics 2020 - Proceedings of the Seventh Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics
No full textOn behalf of the Program Committee, a very warm welcome to the Seventh Italian Conference on
Computational Linguistics (CLiC-it 2020). This edition of the conference is held in Bologna and
organised by the University of Bologna. The CLiC-it conference series is an initiative of the Italian
Association for Computational Linguistics (AILC) which, after six years of activity, has clearly
established itself as the premier national forum for research and development in the fields of
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, where leading researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry meet to share their research results, experiences, and
challenges.
This year CLiC-it received 80 submissions against 64 submissions in 2015, 69 in 2016, 72 in
2017, 70 in 2018 and 82 in 2019 confirming the increasing trend of the past years. The
Programme Committee worked very hard to ensure that every paper received at least three
careful and fair reviews. This process finally led to the acceptance of 19 papers for oral
presentation and 53 papers for poster presentation, with a global acceptance rate of 90%
motivated by the inclusive spirit of the conference. The conference is also receiving considerable
attention from the international community, with 17 (21%) submissions showing at least one
author affiliated to a foreign institution. Regardless of the format of presentation, all accepted
papers are allocated 5 or 6 pages plus 2 pages for references in the proceedings, available as
open access publication. In line with previous editions, the conference is organised around
thematic areas managed by one or two area chairs per area.
In addition to the technical programme, this year we are honoured to have as invited speakers
internationally recognised researchers as Veronique Hoste (Ghent University) and Stefan Kopp
(Bielefeld University). We are very grateful to Veronique and Stefan for agreeing to share with
the Italian community their knowledge and expertise on key topics in Computational Linguistics
The Misty Grail: The Search for a Comprehensive Measure of Development and the Reasons for GDP Primacy
No full textRecent decades have seen a flurry of new indicators to measure economic progress, but none of them has succeeded in replacing GDP. This article seeks to explain this outcome and to contribute to the debate about composite indicators versus a dashboard approach. To this end, it reviews some of the most popular alternatives to GDP (the Human Development Index, the Genuine Progress Indicator, the Happy Planet Index, and an environmentally corrected GDP), focusing on their conceptual foundations rather than on their statistical consistency as most of the literature does. It is shown that most of these measures are theoretically inconsistent; the exception is the environmentally corrected GDP, but since this too has failed to replace GDP, inconsistency must be only one reason behind the limited use of alternative measures. The author argues that the main reason for GDP’s primacy is that GDP is better suited to reflect the goals of capitalist market economies. This implies that constructing composite indicators as alternatives to GDP will be pointless as long as the current preference system has not changed to include environmental or social goals. The author also suggests that for this purpose a dashboard approach, which provides different social groups with intelligible quantitative instruments, may be preferable to the use of composite indicators
I partiti politici nel prisma del diritto comparato
No full textThe article reconstructs the transformation processes of the party system by analysing the most recent comparative law essays published in Italy. Since the late 1980s, the transformation of traditional democratic parties has, as is well known, led to the emergence of post-democratic leader parties and the rise of populist forces. For the Author, the political party can still have a future, but its reference horizon cannot be the national, nor the European legal framework
Los estudios de Renzo de Felice y Emilio Gentile en la historiografía argentina : tres ejemplos
No full textRastreo de la huella que los estudios sobre el fascismo de los historiadores italianos Renzo de Felice (1929-1996) y Emilio Gentile (n. 1946) dejaron en la historiografía argentina. Para cumplir tal objetivo se recurre a las lecturas metodológicas y conceptuales que se verifican en tres intelectuales argentinos: los historiadores Fernando Devoto (n. 1947) y Federico Finchelstein (n. 1975) y el sociólogo Juan José Sebreli (n. 1930).The author traces back the studies on Fascism made by Italian historians Renzo de Felice (1929-1996) and Emilio Gentile (b. 1946) as part of Argentinian historiography. To achieve this objective, the author reviews their methodological and conceptual readings as noted by three Argentinian intellectuals: historians Fernando Devoto (b. 1947) and Federico Finchelstein (b. 1975), and sociologist Juan José Sebreli (b. 1930)
Stoic enlightenments
No full textStoic ideals infused seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thought, not only in the figure of the ascetic sage who grins and bears all, but also in a myriad of other constructions, shaping the way the period imagined ethical, political, linguistic, epistemological, and social
reform. My dissertation examines the literary manifestation of Stoicism’s legacy, in particular
regarding the institution and danger of autonomy, the foundation and limitation of virtue, the nature of the passions, the difference between good and evil, and the referentiality of language. Alongside the standard satirical responses to the ancient creed’s rigor and
rationalism, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century poetry, drama, and prose developed Stoic
formulations that made the most demanding of philosophical ideals tenable within the framework of common experience. Instead of serving as hallmarks for hypocrisy, the literary stoics I investigate uphold a brand of stoicism fit for the post-regicidal, post- Protestant Reformation, post-scientific revolutionary world. My project reveals how writers used Stoicism to determine the viability of philosophical precept and establish ways of compensating for human fallibility. The ambivalent status of the Stoic sage, staged and restaged in countless texts, exemplified the
period’s anxiety about measuring up to its ideals, its efforts to discover the plenitude of natural laws and to live by them. Beginning with Lee’s Lucius Junius Brutus and Addison’s Cato, the most steadfast of heroes, and ending with Sterne’s Tristram Shandy, the most
unaccountable of knaves, the texts I examine articulate a call to be at once more reasonable and more resolute, less inert and less contradictory, at a time when the age-old safeguards of order – the church, the king, and received wisdom – were contested. My readings of Goldsmith’s The Vicar of Wakefield, Richardson’s Clarissa, Fielding’s Amelia, Johnson’s
Rasselas, Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey, Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, and Pope’s Essay on Man trace a reconstitution of world harmony made possible through stoic enlightenments.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Margaret Felice Wal

No full textAuthor Institution: FELIX facility; FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen, Edisonbaan 14, 3439 MN; Nieuwegein, The Netherlands} \author {G. VON HELDEN, G. MEIJER; Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Faradayweg; 4, 14195 Berlin, GermanyAction spectroscopy is now a well-established technique for measuring the Infrared (IR) spectra of (bio)molecules/ions, clusters and complexes in the gas phase. To greatly enhance the capabilities for this type of research, FELICE, the Free Electron Laser for Intra-Cavity Experiments has been constructed at the FELIX user facility and phase I was recently commissioned. Here we present the results of first experiments that clearly demonstrate the great potential of this unique piece of equipment. Exemplary is the efficient IR photofragmentation of neutral C molecules at 19.2 m, which has been observed with FELICE, but not with the previously existing FELIX lasers
Raccontare e disegnare tra i generi
No full textIn the last few years, Spanish literature has seen the growing of the interest on the storytelling of Alzheimer. From fiction to diary, from poetry to cinema, a lot of different literary genres and media focused on this cruel, tragic and very common disease. The examples vary from autobiographical story of will-known sick people to the storytelling of writing, in poetic as well as in literary and artistic form, as a therapy. Alzheimer’s disease is much more than a literary theme, writing on Alzheimer is a linguistic challenge because it compels the author to go even further, to the very limits of writing
