2016
This essay focuses on the inteaction between the publication of female travel writing abouth the South Of Italy in non -feminist 19th century British periodicaldìs and the circulation of a transgressive model of femininity centred on the concepts of mobility, vitality and visibility. the choice of Southern Italy, and anti-tourist destination that since the era of the Grand Tour had been considered dangerous for men, let alone for women, magnifies female heroic attitudes and contaminates female conventional domestic purity enhancing the concept of an unfixed female identity. The publications of a travelogue, a mostly non fictional genre, on an innovative and reactive medium, was a manifest a…
Releyendo la obra de Joan de Joanes. Nuevas aportaciones en torno al Bautismo de Cristo de la Catedral de Valencia y la conversión morisca
2013
La obra de Joan de Joanes ha sido, tradicionalmente, estudiada desde un punto de vista formal y son pocos los trabajos donde se la vincula al momento cultural en el que vivió. Esto ha provocado interpretaciones iconológicas poco acertadas en algunos de sus óleos. Por ello, en nuestro texto realizamos una nueva lectura del significado de la obra de El Bautismo de Cristo de la Catedral de Valencia partiendo de las relaciones existentes entre Joanes con el Venerable Agnesio y de ambos con la evangelización morisca.
Comment Hollywood figure l’intériorité dans les films « hollywoodiens » de David Lynch, Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Dr. (2001) et Inland Empire (…
2011
The article takes Zachary Baqué's study of Los Angeles in the films of David Lynch as a starting point to explore David Lynch's Hollywood movies. The author contends that the films offer more than a satirical representation of a corrupt, unhealthy system which threatens dreams and artistic creativity, or a parodic play on Hollywood genre and narrative conventions. Rather, Hollywood is a character, a presence, revealed as both horizontal and vertical, physical and abstract, evoking the city, the studio system, cinema and dreams, so that the satire, the visual motifs and clichés and the topography of Hollywood, and the references to Hollywood films, constitute a complex fabric of subjectivity…
Toward a holistic understanding of pastoralism
2021
Pastoralism is globally significant in social, environmental, and economic terms. However, it experiences crises rooted in misconceptions and poor interdisciplinary understanding, while being largely overlooked in international sustainability forums and agendas. Here, we propose a transdisciplinary research approach to understand pastoralist transitions using (1) social, economic, and environmental dimensions, (2) diverse geographic contexts and scales to capture emerging properties, allowing for cross-system comparisons, and (3) timescales from the distant past to the present. We provide specific guidelines to develop indicators for this approach, within a social-ecological resilience anal…

Synthesis of the New Ring System 2-Oxo-[1,4]oxazino[3,2-e]indole, Heteroanalogue of Angelicin
2009
A convenient synthesis of the 2-oxo-[1,4]oxazino[3,2-e]indole ring system, an heteroanalogue of Angelicin, is reported. Our synthetic approach consisted of the annelation of the oxazine ring on the indole moiety using 4-amino-5-hydroxy indoles as building blocks. The antiproliferative activity of the new compounds either in the dark or under UVA irradiation was investigated.
THIOPYRANO[2,3-E]INDOL-2-ONES: ANGELICIN HETEROANALOGUES WITH POTENT PHOTOANTIPROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY
2008
A new class of compounds, the thiopyrano[2,3-e]indol-2-ones, bioisosters of the angular furocoumarin angelicin, was synthesized with the aim of obtaining new photochemotherapeutic agents. In particular 7,8-dimethyl-thiopyranoindolone 6c s showed a remarkable phototoxicity and a great dose UVA dependence reaching IC(50) values at submicromolar level. This latter photoinduced a massive apoptosis and a remarkable photodamage to lipids and proteins. Although it did not intercalate DNA, it was able to cause photooxidation of DNA bases.

A Counter-Reformation Reaction to Slovenian and Croatian Protestantism: The Symbol of St. Athanasius in a Creed of 1624
2018
During the second half of the 16th century, Istria was influenced by the Lutheran ideas disseminated by the Slovene Primoz Trubar. According to recent researches, between 1561 and 1565, the followers of Trubar Stjepan Konzul and Anton Dalmatin, with the financial support of Baron Hans Ungnad von Sonneg, translated and transliterated fourteen books into Croatian with Glagolitic script, eight or nine into Cyrillic, six into Croatian with Latin script, four into Slovenian, six into Italian and one into German. Given that their “Slovenian, Croatian and Cyrillic Printing House” (Windische, Crabatische und Cirulitsche Thrukeray) of Urach, a city nearby Tubingen, was responsible for printing more …
