No full textUn agire personale e insieme collettivo. Intervista all’attrice e performer Chiara Bersani
No full textChiara Bersani is an Italian artist working in the performing arts. Her formative path takes place mainly in the field of theatrical research with influences from contemporary dance. Her research as an interpreter and author is based on the concept of the “Political Body” and the creation of practices aimed at training its presence and action. The “manifest” work of this research is Gentle Unicorn (2017).Chiara Bersani è un'artista italiana attiva nell’ambito delle arti performative. Il suo percorso formativo si svolge prevalentemente nel campo della ricerca teatrale con contaminazioni dalla danza contemporanea. Come interprete e autrice la sua ricerca si basa sul concetto di "Corpo politico", sulle relative pratiche che ne sondano la presenza e l’azione. Lo spettacolo "manifesto" di questa ricerca è Gentle Unicorn (2017)

Sui vizi formali del decreto-legge e della legge di conversione
No full textIl saggio ripercorre le linee principali dell’evoluzione dell’elaborazione della dottrina e della giurisprudenza costituzionale con riguardo ai vizi formali del decreto-legge e della legge di conversione. A conclusione dello studio, l’Autore propone riflessioni critiche sul recente decreto-legge n. 113 del 2018 (c.d. decreto “sicurezza e immigrazione”).The paper traces the development of the Italian Constitutional Court case-law on the decree-law procedural rules and its “conversion” into law. As a conclusion of the paper, the Author proposes a critical analysis of the recent decree-law no. 113/2018 (so called "security and immigration" decree)
Bootstrap Specification Tests with Dependent Observations and Parameter Estimation Error
No full textThis paper introduces a parametric specification test for dissusion processes which is based on a bootstrap procedure that accounts for data dependence and parameter estimation error. The proposed bootstrap procedure additionally leads to straightforward generalizations of the conditional Kolmogorov test of Andrews (1997) and the conditional mean test of Whang (2000) to the case of dependent observations. The bootstrap hinges on a twofold extension of the Politis and Romano (1994) stationary bootstrap. First we provide an empirical process version of this bootstrap, and second, we account for parameter estimation error. One important feature of this new bootstrap is that one need not specify the conditional distribution given the entire history of the process when forming conditional Kolmogorov tests. Hence, the bootstrap, when used to extend Andrews (1997) conditional Kolmogorov test to the case of data dependence, allows for dynamic misspecification under both hypotheses. An example based on a version of the Cox, Ingersol and Ross square root process is outlined and related Monte Carlo experiments are carried out. These experiments suggest that the boostrap has excellent finite sample properties, even for samples as small as 500 observations when tests are formed using critical values constructed with as few as 100 bootstrap replications. .Diffusion process, parameter estimation error, specification test, stationary bootstrap.
Art. II.—The Lî Sâo Poem and its Author
No full textThe Literature of China has been arranged by its scholars, as is well known, in four great divisions, bearing the names of Classical, Historical, Philosophical, and Belles-lettres or Polite Literature. Under each division there are various sub-divisions, but of the four the last is by far the most extensive. The Chinese name for it is Chî (), meaning “Collections,” and it is of this only that the Papers which I now propose to submit to the Society lead me to give a somewhat particular account.</jats:p
Art. XXVI.—<i>The Lî Sâo Poem and its Author</i>
No full textThe Chinese text is that approved by the famous Chû Hsî in his “Collection of Comments” on all the portions of the Ch'û Ts'ze. I have taken it from the Hû-pei edition of his Work in 1876. In studying the poem, I have made constant use of the Lî Sâo Ching, Chang Chü by Wang Yî of our second century, and a minister of the later Han dynasty, as published in the Ch'ang-sha or Hû-nan edition of 1882, with which is incorporated the “Supplemental Commentary” of Hung Hsing-tsû of our twelfth century. My earliest study of the poem, however, was from a reprint of the Wăn Hsüan, or “Selections of Literary Compositions,” by Hsiâo T'ung, with the posthumous title of Châo-ming, eldest son of the founder of the Liang dynasty (A.D 502 to 556), containing also the commentary of Lî Shan, a functionary of the T'ang dynasty.</jats:p
Neppure nella legge olandese un'autodeterminazione simile
No full textIntervista all'autrice sul quotidiano Avvenire a cura di Marcello Palmieri sul dibattito concernente la proposta di legge sul consenso informato e sulle dichiarazioni anticipate di trattamento. L'autrice critica il testo della proposta di legge in quanto la vincolatività delle Dat per il medico è pressoché assoluta e comunque più stringenete di quella prevista dagli Stati che hanno legiferato in tema di Dat, inclusi quelli che hanno introdotto l'eutanasia (come i Paesi Benelux). Inoltre l'Italia ha già un'ottima legge sul fine vita che è la legge n. 38 del 2010, che assicura ai malati specie in situazione di fine vita il diritto alla terapia del dolore e alle cure palliative.Interview on the newspaper Avvenire on the debate concerning the proposed law on informed consent and on advance declarations of treatment. The author criticizes the text of the bill as the binding nature of Dat for the doctor is almost absolute and however more stringent than that provided by the States that have legislated on the subject of Dat, including those that have introduced euthanasia (such as Benelux countries). Moreover, Italy already has an excellent law on the end of life which is the law n. 38 of 2010, which assures patients, especially those in an end-of-life situation, the right to pain therapy and palliative care
Grafting and De-Grafting Mental Illness: The Identity of Madness
No full textI wish to begin my paper with a statement by Foucault, how considers, in concluding his Histoire de la folie, madness as a graft onto the world of reason. The social implications of this thesis cross all of his work: as a plant grafted onto another plant not only produces a new species but also depends on the host for nutrition, so happens with madness. There is no autonomous space for something like an identity of madness in the contemporary culture. The social body defines its reason setting against an excluded background and affirming itself in a negative fashion. This social graft has an important echo in each individual be it sane or insane. The age of the asylum opened the gates to the so called positivist psychiatry. In turn, this current could be said to graft onto man’s nature mental illness, rendering him corrupt and dangerous in his very essence. In order to overcome this discriminating reductionist naturalism, phenomenological psychiatry introduces a new relationship between the physician and the patient, modelled on the idea that both their subjectivities have to be called into question. This is achieved primarily through and epoché: the psychiatrist has to bracket all his illusions of objectivity, as well as any organicist categories, in order to approach a fellow human being. This perspective is adopted and yet surpassed by Franco Basaglia, the psychiatrist who reformed Italian psychiatric health care. Not only should the psychiatrist bracket his assumptions in order to avoid treating madness as a graft onto the nature of man, but also he has to fight the asylum, that physical and metaphorical space from which madness could live only grafted, according to Foucault, onto the world of reason. Therefore, if there is something like an identity of madness, from these three perspectives we understand that it has to be sought to a paradoxical return: a return from a state in which it is grafted; a return to a state in which it has never been
Art. XX.—The Late Appearance of Romances and Novels in the Literature of China; with the History of the Great Archer, Yang Yû-chî
No full textIt is well known that, as Mr. Wylie has said, “Works of Fiction par excellence are not admitted to form a part of the Chinese National Literature.” We look in vain for such books in the Catalogue of the Imperial Library. In the Supplements to the Ch'un Ch'iû of Confucius, especially in that of Tso Ch'iû-ming, we find many narratives full of stirring adventure, which have secured for him the title of “The Froissart of China.” But his Work belongs to the department of history, and the finest passages in it owe their interest to the ability of the author, whom the late Stanislas Julien used to denominate, in his letters to me, “Un grand écrivain.” In the works of Lieh-tsze, who could hardly be later than Tso Ch'iû-ming, and of Chwang-tsze, we have a good deal of Tâoist mythology and speculation; and, later on, Han Fei, Hwai-nan Tsze, Han Ying, Liû Hsiang, and others supply us with a multitude of incidents and anecdotes, with now and then an apologue, employed to point the moral of some classical passage or important statement of the authoritative writings of the Schools to which they severally belonged.</jats:p
