La Cumparsita: a source of lawsuits Contursi and Maroni vs. Matos Rodríguez

2016

This article deploys Tango along with the lawsuits concerning to whom participated in the elaboration of “La Cumparsita” and its lyrics as a frame of reference for discussing about copyrights and intellectual property. In addition to giving an opinion about the procedure to arrive at the final solution related to the adjudication of the copyrights along its effects of that in each one of the beneficiaries, the author tell us a little bit of the process of creating this musical composition as well as the scope it had during its time. El presente artículo utiliza al Tango, a los pleitos y personajes que participaron en la elaboración de La cumparista y sus letras, como marco referencial para …

Early Bronze Age painted wares from Tell el-'Abd, Syria: A compositional and technological study

2018

Abstract The ‘Euphrates Monochrome Painted Ware’ (henceforth EMPW) is a ceramic style attested in the Middle Euphrates region in northern Syria at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, ca. 2900–2700 BCE. This style is not an isolated phenomenon; rather, it must be understood in the context of a general, albeit short-lived, re-introduction of painted ceramics into local assemblages of Greater Mesopotamia. In the present study, we investigate the technology and provenance of the painted pottery from Tell el-'Abd (North Syria) and its relation to contemporary ceramics retrieved at this site. We apply a combination of macroscopic observations, ceramic petrography, and micro X-ray diffraction (…

Flos Tectorii degradation of mortars: An example of synergistic action between soluble salts and biodeteriogens

2015

Abstract The definition of Flos Tectorii, originally suggested by F.S. Brancato in the 1980s’ (Brancato, 1986), refers to a unique form of deterioration identified on both aerial and hydraulic mortars used in the external walls of historic and contemporary buildings. It is clearly recognizable due to the development of peculiar concentric (occasionally sub-circular) macroscopic forms. At present, there is still a lack of information about the full interpretation of this phenomenon regarding the interaction between the different physicochemical and biological factors that lead to this particular type of degradation. The present study was aimed to examine whether the specific mineralogical an…

Ceramic production at Selinunte (Sicily) during the 4th and 3rd century BCE: New archaeometric data through the analysis of kiln wastes

2018

Abstract A set of 37 overfired ceramic samples was collected from the dump of two kilns sited in the productive area FF1 in the acropolis of Selinunte (south western Sicily), being specifically active in the period 409–250 BCE. The ceramic samples were analysed by thin-section petrography and chemical analysis, with the aim to establish a valuable ‘reference group’ representative of the ceramic produced at Selinunte during the Punic phase. The petrographic and chemical analyses allowed to state that the ceramic manufactures from the kilns operating in the FF1 insula are characterized by rather homogeneous textural/compositional features. The daily-use common ware here produced is characteri…

EDXRF analysis of blue pigments used in Valencian ceramics from the 14th century to modern times

2006

Abstract EDXRF analyses of cobalt-blue pigments were performed on 73 pieces of Valencian ceramics from the beginning of the 14th century up to the 20th century. In 67 of such samples, the pigment decoration was applied together with a tin opacified lead glaze cover on the clay body. In five samples the pigment was applied on the clay body without a glaze cover. The comparison between EDXRF spectra from coloured and non-coloured areas contains information about the pigment composition. Elements like Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and As are identified as characteristic of blue pigments; different associations of these elements were found and correlated with the chronology of the samples. The results…

The “recipe” of the stucco sculptures of Giacomo Serpotta

2002

Abstract Mineralogical and chemical data (organic) of some representative samples collected from stucco-works by the famous Sicilian sculptor Giacomo Serpotta (Palermo, 1656–1732) have been combined with the aim of ascertaining their manufacture technology in the light of local historical sources. A complete correspondence between samples belonging to the “Victory” statue (1723) and the S.S. Rosario oratory (1685–1689) as regards stratigraphy, mineralogy of sand aggregate, composition of binder matrix, and nature and concentrations of organic additives is pointed out. Considering that the studied works of art cover more than 35 years of the artist’s activity, it is consequential to think of…

Preservation and decay of plant remains in two Palaeolithic sites: Abrigo de la Quebrada and Cova de les Cendres (Eastern Spain). What information ca…

2020

Abstract Plant remains are quickly affected by post-depositional processes once they are deposited in archaeological sites. In normal conditions, decomposing organisms cause their decay and final disappearance unless a preservation agent, as carbonisation or mineralisation, inhibit their activity. Moreover, physical and chemical processes could also lead to the partial or total destruction of the archaeobotanical assemblage. Thus, an analysis of their characteristics is useful for an assessing of the taphonomic processes. Archaeobotanical assemblages from two Palaeolithic sites, Abrigo de la Quebrada and Cova de les Cendres, have been analysed in terms of taxonomic composition of the assemb…

Vuoto e progetto

2018

Incentrare sul vuoto un ragionamento ampio sull’architettura apre il campo a un cammino a ritroso volto a selezionare, nel tempo lungo della formazione di chi lo compie, gli strumenti utili a riconoscere e far propria un’idea di spazio. Inteso comunemente come un’assenza, il significato di vuoto è, nelle intenzioni del testo, volutamente ribaltato. Assunto come un soggetto attivo, esso configura un intento propositivo finalizzato al posizionamento di una presenza protesa a riverberare, nell’intero organico di una composizione, una dimensione icastica. Derivata prima della nozione di spazio, il vuoto, in architettura, è dato da un’importante attribuzione di senso a un intorno definito. Al pa…

Il destino della Biblioteca pubblica e il ruolo dell’Architettura. Strategie di progettazione per gli edifici del XXI secolo

Oggi ci chiediamo spesso quale sarà la sorte del libro e delle biblioteche rispetto allo sviluppo delle tecnologie digitali e ai cambiamenti della funzione urbana e sociale delle biblioteche. Provare ad immaginare un plausibile scenario futuro é molto difficile, soprattutto se si pensa che il libro e le biblioteche sono legate a diverse e diversificate istanze della società contemporanea che non hanno ancora trovato una propria identità. D’altra parte, la società contemporanea si trova in una fase di transizione tecnologica che rischia, senza alcun dubbio, di produrre dei cambiamenti significativi, non solo in seno alle biblioteche, ma soprattutto nei nostri stessi modi di vivere. Per quest…
