Going in Homer: The Role of Verb-Inherent Actionality Within Self-Propelled Motion-Event Encoding
2019
The paper aims at investigating the encoding of self-propelled motion events in Homeric Greek in the light of the typology of motion events, taking into account the case of to go. The verbal class of the self-propelled motion refers to those verbs expressing the idea of a simple translational motion, such as to go, to move, without any information about the manner of motion (see, by contrast, the class of the manner-of-motion verbs, such as to run, to swim) or about the path of motion (see, by contrast, the class of the path verbs, such as to enter, to exit). According to Talmy (2000), world languages can be distinguished depending on whether they prototypically express the semantic compone…
“She Shuddered on her Throne and Made high Olympus Quake.” Causes, Effects and Meanings of the Divine Nemesis in Homer
2015
This article aims at exploring the Homeric gods’ sensitivity to a particular kind of indig- nation that is expressed in the Homeric po- ems by the term nemesis and by the verbal forms arising from it. My purpose is to an- alyse the passages that allow us to establish the causes of divine nemesis towards the mortals and the gods themselves, as well as their effects. This survey also represents an opportunity for investigating the relation between the attribution of emotions to the Greek gods and the anthropomorphic repre- sentation of the divine.
Els pobles preindustrials i el seu sentit en una antropologia autocrítica
2008
La gran ignorància de com subsistírem tots els humans fins fa uns deu mil anys i de com viuen encara determinades tribus en alguns llocs de la terra és una faceta característica que ens defineix milions de persones en l'actualitat. No obstant això, aquest predomini de la vida ciutadana, reforçat pel nombre tan elevat dels qui la compartim i l'orgullosa sensació de normalitat i de progrés que acostumen a manifestar, impedeix que ens adonem de l'excepcionalitat que significa i dels riscos que comporta en la ja llarga persistència de la nostra espècie: per a prendre consciència d'això seria prou que retrocedírem en el temps o que ens desplaçàrem a altres zones del planeta i férem una simple co…

Homère rhétorique : études de réception antique
2019
International audience; La place inaugurale des poèmes homériques dans la littérature fait d’Homère, dès l’Antiquité, une figure culturelle fondatrice et un « maître de tous les savoirs ». Cette prééminence conjuguée à la présence continue de la poésie homérique à tous les degrés de l’éducation fait que l’autorité du Poète s’étend, non sans paradoxe, à l’art de l’éloquence. Professeurs et érudits, aussi bien grecs que romains, le lisent et le commentent à la lumière de leurs catégories oratoires. Ce livre étudie la réception rhétorique du Poète en s’intéressant aux lectures et exégèses rhétoriques déclinées dans les scholies, les traités rhétoriques, ou les monographies critiques consacrées…
A methodology for assessing the impact of salinity gradient power generation in urban contexts
2018
Abstract The paper proposes a methodology to assess the potential impact of salinity gradient power technology in urban contexts. The idea to employ such energy source in urban contexts derives from the observation that, among the energy districts outputs, low-salinity treated wastewater can be used to produce electricity if a suitable source of high salinity feed (seawater of a salt-works) is also available. The methodology uses the HOMER software for assessing the district’s electric energy production, consumption and exchange with the main grid. Then, starting from the total gross surface and the number of inhabitants of the district, some possible realistic scenarios characterized by di…
STRATEGIE DI CODIFICA LINGUISTICA DEGLI EVENTI DI MOVIMENTO NEL GRECO OMERICO
No association of alcohol dependence with HOMER 1 and 2 genetic variants.
2010
Several lines of evidence indicate that alterations of the central cortico-accumbens glutamate pathway are involved in the development and maintenance of alcohol- and substance-use disorders. The HOMER protein family is encoded by 3 genes HOMER (1–3) which are components of the excitatory postsynaptic density complex and function to modulate synaptic activity by the regulation of glutamate signaling. HOMER 1 and 2 have been reported to contribute to chronic alcohol-induced long-term neurochemical changes in the endogenous reward system. Data from animal models suggest a potential role of the Homer protein family in the development of alcohol and substance use. The aim of this study is to as…
DANNO, RISARCIMENTO E RICONOSCIMENTO DELL’“ALTRO” NELLA GESTIONE DEI CONFLITTI IN OMERO
2019
Atto ingiusto, reato? Nel mondo omerico abbiamo a che fare: 1. con atasthalìai (in Omero solo al plurale), cioè con “eccessi-volontari-e-consapevoli fondati-sulla-fiducia nella-propria-forza/capacità/potere”, di cui si è responsabili (mentre non si è responsabili o si è innocenti se si obbedisce a cause materiali/umane di forza maggiore), o 2. con àte, l’offuscamento mentale che rovina se stessi e a volte gli altri e che si è avuto per propria imprudenza, mancanza di calcolo o perché gli dei puniscono di una precedente offesa fatta loro. In quest’ultimo caso, si può rimediare oppure bisogna aspettare i tempi della divinità. Nel caso di offese ad altri uomini, bisogna risarcire materialmente…
¿Son verdaderos sujetos los seres humanos de la Grecia arcaica? Notas en torno a la interpretación de la antropología homérica
1997
Revisión de los principales esquemas filosóficos que han orientado a los grandes filólogos en sus interpretaciones de la antropología homérica, concretamente en la cuestión del cuerpo y el alma y en las nociones de conciencia y de sujeto, atendiendo en especial a B. Snell, R. Mondolfo y a alguna de las mejores aportaciones de nuestros días que permiten reconsiderar el análisis de tales tópicos.
