Effect of Germacrene-Rich Essential Oil of Parentucellia latifolia (L.) Caruel Collected in Central Sicily on the Growth of Microorganisms Inhabiting…
2022
In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Parentucellia latifolia (L.) Caruel collected in Central Sicily was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The results showed the presence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, with germacrene D and germacrene B accounting, respectively, for 59.2% and 24.3% of the total oil. Different colonies of bacteria and fungi frequently affect cellulosic objects such as books stored in libraries and museums. The antibacterial and antifungal activity against some microorganisms infesting historical-artistic craftsmanship was determined, demonstrating that the essential oil was particular…
Introduzione
2019
I cibi, i luoghi e le occasioni del loro consumo sono dunque mezzi, spazi e tempi elettivi della mediazione tra immanenza e trascendenza, tra al di qua e aldilà, e, al contempo, momenti elettivi di ricreazione e affermazione di un corpo sociale; e in verità non può esservi dialogo tra immanenza e trascendenza e le entità che le popolano senza che il cibo e il suo consumo ritualizzato non ne siano parte costitutiva. Su tali condivise consapevolezze antropologiche, che hanno trovato all’interno di ogni cultura una specifica articolazione legata: a specifiche condizioni ambientali che certo hanno condizionato i regimi alimentari; a peculiari sfide identitarie che hanno portato a scelte aliment…
El concurso de acreedores en persona física
2015
El propósito de dicha tesis doctoral ha sido doble, por un lado se han abordado los antecedentes históricos desde la época romana para entender bien el origen del concurso de acreedores que se utilizaba en supuestos de insolvencia de la persona física y su diferenciación de la quiebra y de la suspensión de pagos, ambos supuestos de insolvencia del comerciante que se regulaban en el Código Civil de 1889, en la LEC de 1881 y en el Código de Comercio de 1829 hasta que la Ley Concursal reguló en un solo cuerpo legal tanto la insolvencia de las personas físicas como de las personas jurídicas y tanto fueran comerciantes como no lo fueran. Y, por otro lado, se han estudiado las Leyes actuales, par…
Sublime and grotesque : exploring the liminal positioning of clowns between oppositional aesthetic categories
2020
The horror clown is a potential rooted in the liminalities that are an integral part of the clown figure per se. Drawing on anthropological work and the study of popular culture, this paper argues that clowns can be placed between different dualistic frames such as the sacred and the profane, the sublime and the grotesque, and fear and disgust. This positioning and the ways in which clowns operate between these categories are transmitted aesthetically. In this paper the dualistic aesthetics and violent potential of clowns is examined through three different clown examples: the ritual clown, the circus clown and the horror clown. Field observations made by Keisalo of the Chapayeka rituals cl…
Mariano Benlliure Gil, artífice de la recuperación del patrimonio escultórico para la Cofradía California de Cartagena
2020
After the patrimonial destruction that took place during the Civil War of 1936-1939 in the city of Cartagena, religious art and especially sacred sculpture, is greatly affected. The artistic expressions that the Passionist entities took to the streets on the days of Holy Week, disappear almost in their entirety, having to start a tremendously costly reconstruction process in order to alleviate the losses suffered. The Cofradía California commissioned the renovation of its sculptural patrimony heritage, which came to replace the wealth of the works of Salzillo, to the Valencian artist Mariano Benlliure Gil. All this process is the one studied in this article, keeping in mind the different bi…
Bractwo Najświętszych Serc Jezusa i Maryi przy kościele parafialnym w Połocku w świetle Księgi brackiej z lat 1794-1818
2018
The fonds of National Library of Russia include a Register of Brotherhood of Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in Polotsk. Besides the list of members, the manuscript includes a number of documents important for operation of the congregation. The Brotherhood operated in 1794-1818; it was run by Jesuits, who survived disbanding of the order in 1773. Membership list of the Brotherhood (approx. 11 thousand) shows a crosssection of Polish community, living mostly in territories captured by Russia after First Partition of Poland. It includes members of local elite, as well as the lowest social tiers. Russians, Germans, French and Italians also joined the Brotherhood. An important group of members …
Are Brands Postmodern Relics? Taking a Closer Look at New Sacred Objects
2011
Summary : Ever since the Church lost its monopoly on the sacred, no longer able to solely determine its form or contents, the social sphere has gradually taken over this value, applying it to new human and social objects. As a result, the modes of expression of the sacred have multiplied, along with the subjective and intimate experiences of modern individualism. Among the vast number of potential manifestations of this value, to which almost everything now seems to aspire, this paper will concentrate on commercial brands as vectors of meaning, with the hypothesis that some of them seek to position themselves, in postmodern society, as new figures of the sacred. This area of study is close …
Modes of Religiosity in Iberian Iron Age Caves: Religious Behaviour and Sensorial Experience
2021
The Iberian Iron Age caves are defined as a specific model of sacred space. First, from a territorial perspective, they are identified as liminal spaces where the collective participation, integration and the sense of belonging is reinforced. And secondly, as multisensory contexts, where different ritual practices, highly symbolised, are performed. These spheres, cut off from the well-known and daily scenarios boost the sensory hypersensitivity, strengthened by the connection between the senses and the natural scenario. This paper is guided by the theory of religiosity modes, developed by H. Whitehouse, with the purpose of a better understanding of the ritual practices that were carried out…

Arredi e suppellettili liturgiche in stile neoclassico nella Chiesa Madre di Petralia Sottana
2015
Il contributo, utilizzando documenti inediti, esamina alcune suppellettili liturgiche in stile neoclassico della Chiesa Madre di Petralia Sottana. Tra questi l’ostensorio del 1817 in argento e pietre preziose commissionato dall’arciprete don Antonio Mancusi agli argentieri di Acireale (Ct) Alfio e Salvatore Strano che lo hanno realizzato avvalendosi della collaborazione di Antonino Sirretta e Salvatore Maddalena.
