Baudelaire’s Influence on Duo Duo’s Poetry through Chen Jingrong, a Chinese Woman Poet Translating from French
2012
Abstract As a woman poet, Chen Jingrong’s productions encompassed the whole 20 th century: of particular interest are her poetry translations from the French language. Thanks to her translation work, valuable understanding of Charles Baudelaire’s poetry was made available in China, which influenced the Chinese contemporary poet, Duo Duo, when he first started writing poetry during his youth. This paper tries to depict the importance of this contribution of Chen Jingrong and its effect on the process of renovation of the contemporary poetic scene in China. Keywords: Chen Jingrong, Baudelaire, Duo Duo, contemporary Chinese poetry, translation Izvlecek Opus kitajske pesnice Chen Jingrong zaobj…
La portada de la iglesia de las Escuelas Pías de Gandía. Su proceso constructivo y modulación arquitectónico-musical
2020
The facade of the church of the Pious Schools of Gandia has not attracted the attention of researchers. However, its conception has a great architectural culture and constitutes an essential work to understand its context, fundamentally, that of the theoretical treatises of the Renaissance. From this study it is wanted to value its architecture and that it is considered as an outstanding ingredient to know its period of construction in general and jesuit architecture in particular. For its understanding, its interpretation in the culture of contemporary architecture treaties and, especially, in the architectural-musical theory of Leon Battista Alberti will be necessary..

Towards a tanslatological study of multilinguism : translating the insertion of dialect within contemporary Italian narrative into French
2015
This PhD thesis examines Italian contemporary literary works (novels and short stories) in which dialect is used as a linguistic variety in combination with the national Italian idiom. The analysis is conducted through the works of four Italian writers, in which multilingualism is particularly significant: Andrea Camilleri, Salvatore Niffoi, Laura Pariani and Andrej Longo. Taking into account the complex linguistic situation of Italy, the thesis focuses on the translation of these works characterized by the co-existence of two different linguistic systems. Through an examination of the colourful mixture of linguistic varieties and the function of dialect in these contemporary texts, the the…
New digital trends in current architecture. A comprehensive critical examination
2017
The research presented is about digital revolution in architecture, which has contributed to the birth of new figurative trends. The work was conducted through the definition of a framework to identify and classify architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing, then applied to sixty prominent recent architectures which are acknowledged products of digital means. The early results suggest that a new era is coming, where the conceptual starting point of designers is often born in the digital space, taking advantage of the augmented representation skills to control and manipulate form. We will also do an overview of these new architec…
Antigone, today
2020
The tragedy of Antigone revolves around the theme of conflict. Both the version written by Sophocles and the one by Jean Anouilh are mainly focused on conflicts. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is real and symbolic at the same time. It is the conflict between a woman’s body and the law, between women’s and men’s conditions, between two anthropologies. It is also a conflict between two opposite ethical perspectives, and two opposite political visions. It is the conflict between the rule of individuals and the rule of laws, between non-violence and violence, social responsibility and individual egoism, and self-identification and identity. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is th…
La compra silenciosa. Arrendamientos, estabilidad y mejoras en la agricultura valenciana de regadío (1850–1930)
2007
Resumen Este articulo analiza como fue posible, en el regadio valenciano, un desarrollo agrario basado en el arrendamiento de pequenas explotaciones. Del estudio de los contratos firmados en la huerta de Gandia se deduce, en primer lugar, que los arrendatarios ocupaban la parcela durante un periodo bastante prolongado de tiempo, que tendio a crecer durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX; y, en segundo, que a menudo los cultivadores eran indemnizados al finalizar su contrato por las mejoras que habian introducido. A largo plazo, todo ello consolido su posicion, porque el cultivador se convirtio en “semipropietario” de hecho de la tierra mejorada. Por su parte, los terratenientes rentistas ob…
Monete false. Le contraddizioni del capitalismo occidentale nella narrativa di Elvira Dones e Anilda Ibrahimi
2020
Il saggio analizza il modo in cui il modello economico occidentale diventa oggetto di narrazione in Vergine giurata di Elvira Dones e Rosso come una sposa di Anilda Ibrahimi. Questi due romanzi, pubblicati rispettivamente nel 2007 e nel 2008, reinterpretano da un punto di vista “diverso” le questioni economiche, dando voce ad una alterità che non è solo geografica, ma anche esistenziale e biologica. Lo sguardo impietoso di Dones e Ibrahimi si appunta sulle contraddizioni del capitalismo globale: il mito della ricchezza occidentale, che attraverso la retorica dei media colonizza l’immaginario migrante, si traduce narrativamente nell’ottica dello smascheramento. The essay analyzes how the Wes…
Coming to Know Epicurus’ Truth: Distributed Cognition in Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura
2020
Until recently, Descartes' idea that the human mind is, by definition, a non-extended entity (res cogitans, non extensa), enclosed in the body but constitutionally different from common bodily and external realities, found wide acceptance among students of cognitive sciences. But in the past few years the barriers between outer and inner worlds have begun to blur, projecting the process of cognition as a complex distributed phenomenon. According to the so-called distributed cognition thesis (and its more “radical” version, the extended mind hypothesis), “the thinker in this world is a very special medium that can provide coordination among many structured media – some internal, some externa…
Le «31 biblioteche più belle del mondo». Dalla Real Biblioteca del Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial di Madrid al trasferimento, nella nuova s…
2021
Gabriella De Marco propone un saggio sulla centralità dell'istituzione biblioteca nella società contemporanea. Il contributo, che prosegue alcuni precedenti progetti di ricerca avviati dall'autrice sin dai primi anni duemila, è centrato sullo spazio abitabile e sul potenziale identitario di un edificio. Punto di partenza del suo ragionamento è il presupposto che lo spazio misurabile è anche spazio mentale. Ciò attiva una serie di considerazioni legate al rapporto tra il tempo della storia e il tempo del fruitore. Un edificio, pertanto, e nello specifico una biblioteca sia pubblica o privata sia nazionale o di quartiere, si percepisce ed esiste anche nel tempo soggettivo di chi la fruisce.
La circolazione culturale Nord-Sud. Il caso del rapporto tra filosofia italiana e tedesca
2018
Italy and Germany have a long tradition of mutual influence and cultural exchange, both culturally and philosophically. "Philosophia Transalpina" shows transnational lines of reception in case studies and on the basis of selected philosophers and illustrates how useful an exchange of ideas between national philosophical cultures can be
