Uskyldige gleder, farlige slutninger. Selvhat og fundamentalisme i Knut Hamsuns roman Den siste Glæde (1912)
2020
Knut Hamsunʼs prose fiction around 1890 fulfills his programmatic intention to represent modern complex individuals. Two decades later the author steps forth to chastise the nation with simplistic reactionary truths. The hero of Hamsunʼs “wanderer” novels 1906 to 1912 may be taken to parody the protagonists of Hunger, Mysteries, and Pan 1888–1894. The hysteric tone in the narratorʼs criticism of modern society in Hamsunʼs 1912 novel, The Last Joy, points to a personal motivation. The ultimate pleasure in this book seems to be indulging in his own self, an experience of nothingness associated with literature. Interpreting the authorʼs U-turn from modernist to reactionary as fueled by fear of…

De venta en venta hasta El Quijote. Un viaje europeo por la literatura de Mesón
2007
On these pages travel from the Canterbury Tales to the Quijote going from inn to inn throughout a European literary geography. We stop and lodge in the italian series of novelle (Sacchetti, Bandello), in the Chevalry Poems of the Renaissance (Pulci, Ariosto), in the Sixteenth Century theatre (from Gil Vicente to Lope de Rueda and the Intronati di Siena), in the Comedia Nueva and especially in the comedias de meson de Lope de Vega, in the Elizabethan Theatre (Shakesperare above all), in the Guzmán de Alfarache, in La ilustre fregona (the novel and also the commedy), and so on until the Quijote, where the multiple experience of inns and roads is closely examined. At every stop I reflecton the…
Tree species influences diversity of ground-dwelling insects in afforested fields
2015
Abstract Impaired natural ecosystems, such as agricultural lands, are restored toward original or other target stage. Because the long agricultural history has changed the physical, chemical and biological features of the soil, afforested fields can harbor novel species assemblages and interactions. Our overall aim was to quantify the diversity of ground beetles and ants in early successional afforested fields. In a large scale field experiment, we compared plots that had been afforested 25 years ago by planting monocultures of birch, pine or spruce trees. A total of 4080 carabid individuals representing 41 species, and 131,933 ant individuals representing 15 species were recorded. Both the…
Carbon stocks in a 50‑year‑oldEucalyptus camaldulensisstand in Sicily, Italy
2015
Eucalyptus stands in semi-arid areas may contribute to enhance carbon (C) stocks in both biomass and soil. However, the limited information available is mainly focused on short-rotation plantations. In this study, the above- and below-ground C pools in five 50-year-old Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. stands planted on Miocenic evaporitic deposits in Sicily, Italy, with a xeric and thermic pedoclimate, were measured. Above-ground biomass was determined by partitioning and weighing branches, stem and leaves. Below-ground C pools included the determination of litter, root biomass, and soil organic and inorganic C. In terms of the above-ground biomass, the E. camaldulensis stand accumulated on …
