Science and ideology: The case of physics in Nazi Germany
2016
Science is not «above» politics and ethics: it is intrinsically political, and constantly raises ethical dilemmas. The consequences of evading such issues were made particularly clear in the actions of scientists working in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 40s. The accusation in 2006 that Dutch physicist Peter Debye was an opportunist who colluded with the Nazis reopened the debate about the conduct of physicists at that time. Here I consider what those events can tell us about the relationship of science and politics today. I argue that an insistence that science is an abstract, apolitical inquiry into nature is a myth that can leave it morally compromised and vulnerable to political manipula…
Ewolucja roli mniejszości niemieckiej w Polsce oraz Polonii w Niemczech w stosunkach polsko-niemieckich pod koniec XX wieku i na początku XXI wieku
2016
Both German minority in Poland and Polonia in Germany constitute undoubtedly – along with the history, geographical location and common membership of the Republic of Poland’s and German Federal Republic’s to EU and NATO – one of more important determinants of relations between both states. As to the issue of execution of rights of Germans in Poland and Polonia in German the breakthrough took place as a result of signing Treaty on good neighborhood and friendly cooperation on 17.06.1991. On both sides though there are the charges formulated about the lack of full execution of the Treaty provisions. The subject of controversy is, on the one hand, their status – inequality of terminology used …
Mathematical Publishing in the Third Reich: Springer-Verlag and the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung
2000
Stiss. He was known to take interest in DMV affairs and they believed his views coincided with those current at the DMV board, in other words, with their own. Stiss had been a pupil of Ludwig Bieberbach (1886-1982), who in the Third Reich propagated an anti-Semitic, racial theory of Deutsche Mathematik and led a group of National Socialist mathematicians strongly opposed to the DMV. The DMV board hoped that Stiss might be able to reconcile his former teacher with the DMV, or at least safeguard it and its politics against the threat of political attack from Bieberbach's faction. In addition, Stiss had recently become a member o f the Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei…
Eligibility for treatment with omalizumab in Italy and Germany.
2013
Summary Omalizumab is an add-on therapy for patients with uncontrolled severe allergic asthma. In Europe, patients must fulfil a number of additional criteria to become eligible for omalizumab therapy, creating a challenge for epidemiology studies to quantify the potential patient pool. Thus, and in the absence of robust data, the number of omalizumab-eligible patients has remained unclear. To assess eligible patient numbers, a chart-audit design approach was employed to measure epidemiology variables based on patient-level data. 770 patient charts were reviewed in designated towns in Germany and Italy, in collaboration with >200 primary care physicians (PCPs) and respiratory specialists (R…

Die Kammer der Erinnerung. Il cimitero di guerra germanico a Motta Sant’Anastasia di Diez Brandi
2017
Unico in Sicilia e tra i pochi dell’Italia meridionale, il Cimitero di guerra germanico di Motta Sant’Anastasia, realizzato tra il 1960 e il settembre del 1965 per iniziativa dell’associazione nazionale Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge (VDK), è stato progettato dall’architetto tedesco Diez Brandi, allievo e assistente di Paul Schmitthenner (1884-1972), esponente emergente di quella parte tradizionalista dell’architettura tedesca del Novecento che strumentalmente è stata trascurata dalla storiografia contemporanea. L’idea progettuale di Brandi è quella di un grande recinto rettangolare (44 x 30 mt), dall’aspetto esteriore di un poderoso, invalicabile fortilizio, suddiviso in sei camer…

Francesco, Franz, Ritter Franz von Hayez: Zur Rezeption des Romanticismo Storico in der deutschsprachigen Publizistik
2021
After Canova’s death (1822), Italian contemporary art, especially painting, suffered from the widespread topos that Italy as “terre des morts” had frozen in historical self-reflection and therefore did not meet the demands of modern “romantic” art. One of the few internationally recognized exceptions was Francesco Hayez (1791–1882), whose history painting virtuosically combined modern literary subjects with elements derived from the Venetian tradition, such as the gestures of Canova and the colorfulness of Venetian Quattro and Cinquecento painting. His images, which are relevant from a historical, literary but also political point of view, have achieved great success at the regular exhibiti…

Nel corso del XIX secolo l'idea di popolo e l'idea di nazione hanno prodotto la nascita di nuovi orientamenti nella musica dei paesi slavi della Mitteleuropa. Le fonti cui si sono ispirati i fautori dei movimenti nazionali in Germania, Austria, Polonia, Cekia, Slovenia e Croazia sono state descritte come popolari, ma si tratta in realtà di musiche folkloriche, devozionali, brani d'opera e brani d'autore, che furono usati anche nella musica d'arte (opere e sinfonie), con l'unico scopo di attestare i principi identitari essenziali per la formazione dei futuri stati dopo la caduta dell'impero austro-ungarico. La storia e le tradizioni dei paesi sopra elencati non hanno quasi nulla in comune, s…
