The Faculty of Agriculture is one of the oldest faculties of Palermo University. Over its now long existence, the Faculty of Agriculture, today the Department of Agricultural, Food and Forest Sciences (SAAF) has accrued an immense heritage of books and journals. The history of this heritage, its origin and evolution are little known; however, it has been fundamental in contributing to our knowledge of a number of nineteenth-century naturalists and of many topics addressed in recent years. This article traces the history of the library; it includes a reconstruction of the many donations received over the years which have contributed to enriching this heritage and an analysis of the nineteent…

Ments alterades en el segle XIX: Els relats d'Edgar Allan Poe i Guy de Moupassant

2014

En el present article s’aborda la confl uencia entre l’autor nord-america Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) i l’autor frances Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), que, a pesar d’estar adscrits a tendencies literaries divergents (romanticisme enfront de realisme/naturalisme), van compartir interessos tematics i formals inequivocs en l’ambit del relat. Partint de les primerenques infl uencies de la contistica de Poe sobre l’escriptura de Maupassant, aquest treball se centra en una seleccio dels relats de l’autor frances que el vinculen literariament a Poe (tant en el terreny tematic com en el narratologic), relacionats amb la fascinacio d’ambdos autors per estats mentals atipics i narradors alterats o «a…

«DI RICCHE LIBRERIE FORNITI, O NON SANNO, O NON NE VOGLIONO GIOVARSI». NOTE SU CULTURA, EDITORIA E CIRCOLAZIONE LIBRARIA IN SICILIA (SECC. XVIII-XIX)

2015

SOMMARIO: Il saggio ricostruisce le vicende dell’editoria e della tipografia in Sicilia tra tardo Settecento e primo Ottocento, riconnettendole alla questione della circolazione libraria nel delicato frangente contraddistinto dall’espulsione gesuitica e dall’abolizione dell’Inquisizione, sino alla repressione antigiacobina e all’esperienza costituzionale di stampo inglese. L’indubbio rilancio dell’editoria, che nell’isola risponde alle rinnovate esigenze delle élites urbane e al vasto progetto borbonico di riforme, subisce un’inevitabile battuta d’arresto nel 1799, quando la censura, ora saldamente nelle mani del governo, ne impedisce l’ulteriore espansione comprimendo gli spazi di moviment…

il volto della morte: le maschere funerarie della sepoltura dei preti morti di Gangi

2014

riassunto — Le mummie moderne e il signifcato recondito della doppia sepoltura nelle culture mediterranee moderne sono da tempo ampiamente dibattuti. In questo lavoro si discute di una particolare “collezione” di corpi di ecclesiastici, mummifcati ed esposti in un comune montano madonita della Sicilia, Gangi. I corpi, principalmente risalenti al XIX secolo, mummifcati per colatura come nella tradizione del tempo e vestiti degli abiti talari, sono esposti nel piano sottostante della Chiesa Madre, in quella che nella tradizione è detta la “fossa dei parrini” (fossa dei preti). Le mummie, a differenza di altri siti siciliani e mediterranei, sono altresì corredate di sonetto commemorativo e di …

summary — The modern mummies and the inner meaning of the double burial in Mediterranean cultures have long been debated. In this paper we discuss a particular “collection” of ecclesiastical bodies mummifed and displayed in a small mountain town of Sicily Gangi in the Madonie Mountains. The bodies dating back to the nineteenth century mummifed by pouring in the tradition of the time and carefully dressed in robes are exposed in the lower foor of the Chiesa Madre in what the tradition is called “fossa dei parrini” (pit of priests). The mummies unlike other Sicilian and Mediterranean sites are accompanied by commemorative sonnet and death mask made of fnish wax. The primary interest of our study was aimed specifcally at this particular manifestation of the double burial complex which lies in the representation of the face. The work expresses an examination of the concept of death mask in antiquity and leads to the conclusion that the place for its scenic values ritualization should be designed to the ostentation and the consolidation of the image of the Church and of the his power within the small rural society.Settore BIO/08 - Antropologia

"Podróż dla przyjemności przez Górny Śląsk". Obraz krainy konstruowany przez niemieckiego turystę na progu XIX wieku

2017

Leisure trip through Upper Silesia is the text of a German author anonymously published in the „Schlesische Provinzial-Blätter” in 1805 (No. 41; German title – Lustreise durch Oberschlesien). Until now, it was perceived in the political dimension. It was believed that the text was to present glorious development of the region under Prussian rule and, therefore, it was interpreted as a justification for the benefits born out of conquest. The article’s author concluded that the content of this guide can be perceived slightly different, namely, in the perspective of developing travel literature in its various forms in the nineteenth century. Only through a combination of dual perspectives: 1) …
