Funzionamento del codice retorico e contenuti ideologici propri dell’autore: Libanio
2006
Through the internal analysis of Libanius of Antioch's Orations 46, 56 and 57, the work attempted to distinguish between the application and functioning of the rhetorical code and the author's own content, between rhetorical devices and ideological assumptions. The study of the density of rhetorical figures is the method of analysis used to verify the objectivity of the speaker's parrhesia
The ultimate message : a study of medieval tombstones in ducal Burgundy : 12th-16th centuries
2011
The tombstone has long been neglected by historians. As obituaries and wills, tombstones reveal as much the relationship of the deceased to death that the management of their memory by their heirs. This study first shows the wealth of medieval Burgundy graves goods. Typological diversity adds to the richness of iconography with large amounts of effigial monuments. Tombs materialize burial of prestige. Originally reserved for prelates and princes, burial ad ecclesiam progressively extended to the feudal aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. The location and the materialization of a burial monument also reflect the evolution of medieval piety. Epigraphy and iconography show the mutation of "gothic…
Influence Of The Model Parameters On The Noise Performance Of Double-polysilicon BJTs For Microwave LNA's
1997
In the recent post we have measured the noise and the scattering parameters of several series of double polysilicon BJT's over the 2-6 GHz frequency range at different collector current values, according to their emitter finger number. From the experimental data, a noisy circuit model has been extracted based on a T-equivalent network. By means of the correlation matrix techniques, novel analytical expressions of the noise parameters have been derived. As a second step, a sensitivity analysis has been performed for evaluating the influence of each model element on the noise performance. The results show how to improve the characteristics of such devices for a better performance when employe…
Saying the Saffu and Beating the Law: The Changing Role of Sacred Sites in the Oromo Politico-Juridical System
2013
This chapter presents a semiotic analysis of the role of sacred sites and other physical features and objects in key political/religious rituals of the Oromo people living in the Horn of Africa. Theoretically, it builds on Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction of the concept of ‘archive’ as an intersection of the topological and the nomological of the place and the law. For Derrida, the place of the archive is not a locatable place, but a topos, the marking of a discourse. In contrast to the European tradition based primarily on archives inscribed in writing and summarised in a codified law, for the traditional Oromo society, laws were part of the oral tradition – a mixture of religion, law and …
Asthma - The Construction of the Masculine Body
1994
This article focuses on understanding the social construction of male identity in Finland in the 1960s and 1970s. Sporting experiences of the author are used as material for memory-work (Erinnerungsarbeit), the key experience here being illness (Asthma). By writing through it, the author thematizes the healthy, sporting, and disciplined body inscribed in hegemonic masculinity.
Salvatore Sciarrino. The Sicilian alchemist composer
2012
Salvatore Sciarrino (Palermo, 1947) began his career in the fervent climate of the six Settimane Internazionali Nuova Musica. Still very young he attracted the attention of the musical world, with his sonorous invention full of startling innovation that was to make him one of the protagonists of the contemporary musical panorama. Sciarrino is today the best-known and most performed Italian composer. His catalogue is a prodigiously large one, and his career is dotted with prestigious prizes and awards. Alchemically transmuting sound, finding new virginity in it has for fifty years been the objective of his music. Timbric experimentation is the goal of his virtuosity. The prevailing use of ha…
Tres artistas en el exilio: Max Aub, Félix Candela y Josep Renau
2020
Three artists in exile focuses on the historical diaspora provoked by the Spanish civil war (1936- 1939), and how it influenced three prominent figures of the cultural scene of that period: the writer and typographer Max Aub Mohrenwitz (Paris, 1903-Ciudad de Mexico, 1972); the architect Félix Candela Outeriño (Madrid, 1910-Raleigh, US, 1977); and the artist Josep Renau Berenguer (Valencia, 1907-Berlín, 1982). They are the three protagonists of this article, who were simultaneously living in Mexico during the exile and who made notable contributions in the fields of arts and humanities (Max Aub), architecture (Félix Candela), and graphic design and photomontage (Josep Renau). While they were…
Figuras interaccionales y propósito comunicativo en conversaciones coloquiales, entrevistas periodísticas y entrevistas del proyecto PRESEEA
2020
espanolEste trabajo explora la creciente conversacionalizacion de los discursos mediaticos a partir de un analisis contrastivo del genero entrevista frente a dos generos vecinos: la conversacion coloquial y la entrevista sociolinguistica. Para ello, en primer lugar, se comparan los patrones interaccionales de los tres generos mediante una herramienta de visualizacion. Los resultados muestran que la entrevista periodistica es mas cercana a la conversacion que la sociolinguistica. En segundo lugar, se argumenta que algunas de las diferencias estructurales observadas pueden explicarse a partir del proposito comunicativo. Las particularidades del genero conversacion se relacionan con la ausenci…
Le ceramiche attiche a figure nere dallo scarico di Grotta Vanella a Segesta: primi dati da una revisione
2017
Questo articolo esamina i frammenti di vasi attici a figure nere della cosiddetta Grotta Vanella deposito a Segesta, costituito da materiali scaricati dalla cima del Monte Barbaro, a nord Acropoli. Vengono indicate le forme, vengono esaminati i temi e le funzioni figurative delle navi e la distribuzione di alcuni tipi e classi di vasi in diverse fasi cronologiche. In assenza di dati stratigrafici, i dating sono stati stabiliti sulla base dell'attribuzione dei frammenti ai workshop o gruppi di pittori noti e, quando possibile, confrontati con reperti provenienti da contesti archeologici piuttosto datato. Per quanto riguarda i temi figurativi, sebbene il materiale frammentario abbia limitato …
«History’s stained canvas»: Uses and appropriations of medieval past in Enlightenment Historiography. The case of Peter «the cruel»
2020
The aim of this paper is to explore the political meanings of the medieval past in the historical understanding of individuals in the 18th century. Beyond the familiar Gothic myth, I will focus on the multilayered image of the monarch Peter of Castile (1334–1369), considered cruel, lustful and passionate in the eyes of enemies and historians. The aim is to analyse the different attitudes towards and uses of this historical figure (one that was quite problematic given the cultural values of the period), ranging from the most negative of connotations to the most passionate of defences and including some more ambiguous stances. For this analysis, I will explore certain Enlightenment debates th…
