Plant facilitation and phylogenetics
2013
The relationship between facilitation and evolutionary ecology is poorly understood. We review five issues elucidating how the phylogenetic relatedness of species provides insight into the role of facilitation in community assembly: (a) Are the facilitative interactions more common between species that differ in a regeneration niche? (b) Are facilitative interactions more common between distantly related species? (c) Do communities governed by facilitation (rather than competition) have higher phylogenetic diversity? (d) As facilitated juvenile plants mature, do they compete with their nurses more often if they are closely related to them? (e) How does the phylogenetic signature in a commun…

Un acquisto da farsi prudenter et sine strepitu: l’arrivo in Vaticana di manoscritti e stampati del Collegio Romano all’inizio del XX secolo
2022
Based on a series of unpublished documents found in the Vatican Library and in the Vatican Archive, this article reconstructs the purchase in 1912 of manuscripts and printed books of the Collegium Romanum by the Vatican Library, during the papacy of Pius X. The purchase negotiations, which took place between June and July 1912, involved the praepositus and the consultor of the Roman province of the Jesuits, Augusto Spinetti and Pietro Tacchi Venturi, and the prefect of the Vatican Library, the Jesuit Franz Ehrle. The volumes arrived in the Vatican Library via the Jesuit novitiate of Villa Torlonia in Castel Gandolfo, where the manuscripts and books were transferred from the Collegium Romanu…

Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2018
La siguiente investigación pretende analizar en qué medida los recursos educativos, en este caso los libros de texto, contribuyen a la alfabetización visual del alumnado de Educación Primaria en Ciencias Sociales. Este tipo de alfabetización es un aspecto fundamental en cualquier etapa educativa tal y como ha venido confirmando la investigación hasta fechas muy recientes. Para ello se han seleccionado los manuales más utilizados en un determinado espacio geográfico desde 2006 y se han analizado siguiendo un método de investigación que combina procedimientos cuantitativos (ex post-facto) y cualitativos (análisis mediante categorías conceptuales) aplicándolos sobre las actividades relacionada…
Blending the Erotic and the Divine in Mystical Literature
2004
THE BEGINNINGS OF SYMBOLIC-RELIGIOUS COGNITION - Cognitive Archeology and Cognitive Fluidity: About 30,000 years ago (70,000 years after the fossil records of the anatomically modern human), religious thought and symbolic conceptual activity arose from the capacity of integrating specific-domain a process called "cognitive fluidity" (Mithen 1996). Metaphor, Anthropomorphism and Cognitive Science: Metaphor is a basic mental capacity by which people understand themselves and the world around them through conceptual mappings of knowledge between mental spaces, using everyday knowledge to reason about more abstract concepts. Of all the templates for supernatural concepts, the ones that seriousl…
La pluralità dei sistemi musicali e le origini della musica (parte II)
2022
Il testo tratta la nascita degli interessi scientifici verso le tradizioni musicali extraoccidentali grazie alla nuova disciplina denominata "musicologia comparata" e agli studi etno-antropologici di orientamento evoluzionista e diffusionista. In questo contesto di studio viene dato particolare rilievo alle ipotesi riguardanti le origini della musica, che vengono sinteticamente ripercorse e valutate. The text deals with the birth of scientific interests towards extra-western musical traditions thanks to the new discipline called "comparative musicology" and to ethno-anthropological studies of evolutionist and diffusionist orientation. In this context of study, particular importance is given…
The reception of Marx's thought in the young Habermas
2018
RESUMEN Se analiza la influencia del pensamiento de Marx en la formulación temprana de la teoría habermasiana. Para ello, se parte de las críticas de Albrecht Wellmer y Jürgen Habermas a la autocomprensión marxiana del materialismo histórico. Luego se estudia la reconstrucción de algunos postulados del marxismo llevada a cabo por Habermas en términos de una renovada teoría de la evolución social. Con ello salen a la luz algunos supuestos básicos de la teoría de Marx que aparecen trasformados en la conceptualización de Habermas y que constituyen una base ineludible para comprender el posterior pensamiento de este autor. ABSTRACT The article analyzes the influence of Marx's thought on the for…
Il patrimonio "cavo". Architetture ipogee e spazio idraulico nella piana di Palermo
2018
The valorisation policies and protection of “visible” architectural heritage are often promoted by the public opinion, that immediately perceives in the artefacts or landscape degradation the risk of an irreparable loss. Conversely, the safeguard of the underground built heritage is ever more difficult to achieve. It is the case of the "hollow architecture" functional to ensuring water provisioning in the Plain one of Palermo, the so-called “horizontal wells”. The most interesting aspect is the complex dense network of canals for the abstraction of groundwater resources. These artefacts date back to the sixteenth century – though an older dating is not to be excluded – and they outline the …
Inquisitio Contra Haereticos. The Inquisition Trials of Witches, Heretics and Secret Societies
2022
By means of very rare manuscripts and precious historical sources (dating back even to the 16th century), this book aims to reconstruct the varied and complex phenomenon of the Inquisition, with particular scientific reference to the events that took place and unfolded in Sicily through the centuries. Based on primary ancient documents, it constitutes a monographic and reasoned catalogue of the international exhibition on the evolution of the Inquisition, curated in Palermo (Italy) by Francesco Callari and Antonio Scaglione. The exhibition, which was supported by an authoritative Scientific Board, was awarded important institutional recognitions and, in particular, the Medal of the Presiden…
