Le «buone letture». 2. Giovanni Casati
No full textIl saggio è costituito da due parti, la prima delle quali, dedicata alla fondazione della Federazione italiana delle biblioteche circolanti cattoliche, è stata pubblicata nel precedente numero dei «Nuovi Annali», XXVII (2013), pp. 137-163. In questa seconda parte viene delineata la figura intellettuale di Giovanni Casati, che diresse la «Rivista di letture» dal 1912 al 1944, trasformando il periodico della Federazione in una rivista impegnata nella divulgazione della cultura cattolica. A questo impegno militante Casati fece corrispondere un intenso programma editoriale, che trovò espressione nella pubblicazione di saggi letterari, di manuali e opere repertoriali.The study consists of two parts; the first is dedicated to the history of the Federazione italiana delle biblioteche circolanti cattoliche since its foundation (1904) up to 1912 and was published in the previous volume of the «Nuovi Annali », XXVII (2013), pp. 137-163. In this second part, the author outlines the intellectual figure of Giovanni Casati, who directed the «Rivista di letture» from 1912 to 1944, transforming the magazine of the Federation in a journal engaged in the spreading of Catholic culture. To this militant engagement Casati matched an intense publishing program, which found its expression in the publication of literary essays, manuals and reference works
Optical generation in semiconductor-device analysis, a general purpose implementation
No full textThe description of the optical-generation phenomena has been incorporated in the semiconductor-device analysis program HFIELDS. This has been achieved by introducing a number of optical windows and interleaved material layers through which a radiation with arbitrary spectrum, incidence angle, and polarization state enters the crystal, and by evaluating the corresponding generation rate at each node of the discretization grid. The code equipped with this new capability makes the description of realistic semiconductor optical sensors feasible
Comico e tragico del diritto nella novellistica italiana: il novelliere di Giovanni Sercambi
No full textNelle novelle di età tardomedievale ed umanistica, a causa del loro carattere fortemente realistico, il diritto ha un posto importante, poiché rappresenta un elemento centrale e ineliminabile della vita della comunità. Il novelliere di Giovanni Sercambi da Lucca non fa eccezione, anche se l’autore non ha una cultura giuridica né s’interessa in modo specifico al diritto. Il presente saggio vuole analizzare sotto tale profilo queste novelle per verificare quale concezione del diritto emerge da esse e come la narrazione ne risulti arricchita.In the late medieval and humanistic novellas, owing to their very realistic character, the right is an important central and inevitable element in community life. Giovanni Sercambi’s novelliere is no exception even if the author lacks a legal culture, nor is specifically interested in right. This essay intends to analyze these novellas under this profile to verify what kind of right they consider and how the stories are enriched
Thicking Effect in Dry/Wet Field Oxidation
No full textBy using a test structure especially designed for SEM cross sectioning analysis, it has been observed that the growing of Field Oxide in submicron opening is also affected by compressive mechanical stresses induced by the thermal oxide growth under the oxidation mask, i.e. at the bird’s break region. Experimental data show a new effect, i.e. a field oxide thicking phenomenon which developes at 0.7:-1.5 micron opening width. The thicking effect competes with the well known thinning effect and causes a shift on the appearance of the Field Oxide Thinning to narrower mask openings
John Cage e a poética do silêncio
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaEsta tese se propõe a analisar o silêncio a partir da obra de John Cage (especialmente a literária e a musical). Esse silêncio, inicialmente compreendido por Cage como um empírico (a pausa em música), revela-se gradualmente um transcendente: não mais uma substância nem a simples ausência de som, mas um modo da ação (modo de silêncio), aparecendo como estilo, profundidade, aura, dimensão, verticalidade, densidade. Esse silêncio implica modos de percepção e temporalidade próprios, descritos aqui a partir das noções de Gelassenheit (Heidegger) e Awareness (Gestalt) e estabelecendo conexões com as noções de Invisível em Merleau-Ponty e de Nada no Zen-budismo
Venetian cardinals at the Papal Court during the pontificates of Sixtus IV and Innocent VIII : 1471-1492
No full textThe histories of particular cities and states within that myriad-faceted
slice of civilisation, the Renaissance in Italy, have received
more scholarly attention than have the diplomatic, ecclesiastical and
cultural connections between them. This study is part of a balance-redressing
process. Senior clerics traversed frontiers, owing
allegiance to their native state, their benefices and, above all, to
the Papacy. The purpose of this exploration of the curial careers of
four later quattrocento Venetian cardinals is essentially twofold : to
account for relations between Venice and the Papacy with reference to
individuals who were at once Venetian patricians and princes of the
Church; and to examine the cardinals' responses to this situation in
terms of political, ecclesiastical and cultural patronage. Where did
their loyalty lie? To Venice, with its perennial suspicion of the
Church and peculiar notion of the characteristics of a Venetian
cardinal? Or to the Pope, expressing overt hostility towards the
Republic in the War of Ferrara and placing it under an interdict?
Chapter one sets Merco Barbo, Pietro Foscari, Giovanni Michiel and
Giovanni Battista Zeno in a Venetian context. Chapters two and three
chart relations between the two powers, from the exposure of Cardinal
Zeno's involvement in a scheme to transmit Venetian state secrets to
Rome in exchange for ecclesiastical preferment, through to Ermolao
Barbaro's controversial appointment to the patriarchate of Aquileia,
via the short-lived Papal-Venetian league negotiated by Cardinal
Foscari in 1480. The fourth chapter considers their proximity to the
Supreme Pontiff and how their material fortunes varied under popes
Sixtus and Innocent, after which an assessment of the nature, extent
and effectiveness of their patronage is divided between chapters five
and six, focussing pa.rticularly on Venetian connections. Despite
diverging careers, it is concluded that all were bound by variations
of the Venetian inheritance
The concept of religious experience in D.T. Suzuki's works
No full textreservedIl tema che voglio analizzare è l’interpretazione della pratica del Nenbutsu, tipica del Buddhismo della Terra pura, negli scritti di D.T. Suzuki alla luce della sua
teorizzazione del concetto di ''esperienza religiosa''. Ritengo sia rilevante poiché, pur essendo un argomento circoscritto, aiuta a capire meglio il rapporto tra Suzuki (comunemente considerato il maggior propagatore dello Zen in Europa e in America) e il Buddhismo della Terra Pura; come argomenterò nella tesi, ci consente anche di analizzare nel dettaglio il concetto di ‘’esperienza’’ in Suzuki, che molti studiosi considerano particolarmente critico (i.e. Robert Sharf). Ancora più in
generale credo che la tesi possa essere rilevante per ridefinire le divisioni forse troppo nette tra Tariki e Jiriki, divisioni ancora importanti nel mondo degli studi buddhologici. Le domande a cui intendo rispondere sono: Cosa intende Suzuki per ''esperienza religiosa''? Come si articola questo concetto nel pensiero di Suzuki?In quale modo l’idea di ‘’esperienza’’ di Suzuki influisce sulla sua interpretazione del nenbutsu e, in generale, del Buddhismo amidista? L’obiettivo principale è, tramite l’analisi di un argomento circoscritto, proporre dei contenuti che possano risultare utili a discussioni più ampie come quelle già citate (l’esperienza in Suzuki, il pensiero di Suzuki, la divisione Jiriki-Tariki).The theme I wish to analyse is the interpretation of the practice of Nenbutsu, typical of Pure Land Buddhism, in the writings of D.T. Suzuki in the light of his
theorisation of the concept of ''religious experience''. I think it is relevant because, although it is a circumscribed topic, it helps to better understand the relationship between Suzuki (commonly considered the major propagator of Zen in Europe and America) and Pure Land Buddhism; as will argue in the thesis, it also allows us to analyse in detail the concept of ''experience'' in Suzuki, which many scholars consider particularly critical (i.e. Robert Sharf). Even more generally
general, I believe that the thesis may be relevant in redefining the perhaps too sharp divisions between Tariki and Jiriki, divisions that are still important in the world of Buddhological studies. The questions I I intend to answer are: What does Suzuki mean by ''religious experience''? How is this concept articulated in Suzuki's thought?How does Suzuki's idea of ''experience'' influence his interpretation of nenbutsu and, in general, of Amidist Buddhism? The main objective is, through the analysis of a topic circumscribed topic, to propose content that may be useful for broader discussions such as those already mentioned (the Suzuki experience, Suzuki thought, the Jiriki-Tariki split)
