Post-Katrina New Orleans. Dalla ricostruzione alla resilienza

2016

Attraverso lo studio di un’esperienza emblematica come quella di New Orleans e della sua pianificazione post-Katrina, ci si propone di avviare una riflessione sulle opportunità generate dalla crisi ambientale, nello specifico scaturite da un evento estremo e distruttivo (tanto da far identificare una città “pre-” e una città “post-”); opportunità rese visibili e derivanti dall’applicazione di un approccio basato sulla resilienza. Tale approccio non ha caratterizzato la pianificazione post-Katrina fin dall’inizio, ma, al contrario, è possibile osservare un’evoluzione degli strumenti adottati, che, in un decennio, ha visto la graduale, ma esplicita, integrazione della resilienza nella pianifi…

Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted 4,4'-Biimidazoles

2012

Highly substituted 4,4'-biimidazoles were synthesized, in good to excellent yields, through a multicomponent imidazole ring synthesis by using imidazol-4-yl-ethane-1,2-diones as starting materials. The obtained compounds were preliminarily tested as chromogenic and fluorescent sensors for heavy metals.

How Critical Infrastructure Orients International Relief in Cascading Disasters

2016

Critical infrastructure and facilities are central assets in modern societies, but their impact on international disaster relief remains mostly associated with logistics challenges. The emerging literature on cascading disasters suggests the need to integrate the nonlinearity of events in the analyses. This article investigates three case studies: the 2002 floods in the Czech Republic, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima meltdown in Japan. We explore how the failure of critical infrastructure can orient international disaster relief by shifting its priorities during the response. We argue that critical infrastructure can influence aid request and …

Biblical Echoes and Communal Home in Jesmyn Ward's Salvage the Bones

2020

Jesmyn Ward’s second novel, Salvage the Bones (2011), offers a literary account of an African American family in dire poverty struggling to weather the horrors of Hurricane Katrina on the outskirts of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi. This article focuses on the novel’s ‘ideology of form’, which is premised on biblical models of narration —grounded on a literary transposition of The Book of Deuteronomy— that serves to portray the victimization of African Americans in mythical tones to evoke the country’s failed covenant between God and his chosen people. It also brings into focus the affective bonds of unity and communal healing relying on the idiosyncratic tenet of home understood as national spa…
