Conceptual Metaphors and Social Action. Divine Sex as Political-Economic and Gender Paradigm in Ancient Mesopotamia

2023

Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyse, through a gender and anthropological perspective, the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it become, over the millennia, paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexual…

Napoleone Colajanni e la questione razziale

2020

Il saggio propone una lettura della questione della razza nella riflessione di Napoleone Colajanni (1847-1921) e ne sottolinea aspetti anticipatori di una sensibilità che avrebbe caratterizzato la riflessione successiva condotta in ambito antropologico. The essay proposes a reading of the question of race in the reflection of Napoleone Colajanni (1847-1921) and highlights aspects anticipating a sensitivity that would have characterized the subsequent reflection conducted in the anthropological field.

Thermoelectrics: From history, a window to the future

2019

Thermoelectricity offers a sustainable path to recover and convert waste heat into readily available electric energy, and has been studied for more than two centuries. From the controversy between Galvani and Volta on the Animal Electricity, dating back to the end of the XVIII century and anticipating Seebeck’s observations, the understanding of the physical mechanisms evolved along with the development of the technology. In the XIX century Ørsted clarified some of the earliest observations of the thermoelectric phenomenon and proposed the first thermoelectric pile, while it was only after the studies on thermodynamics by Thomson, and Rayleigh’s suggestion to exploit the Seebeck effect for …

Electrochemical Synthesis of an Organic Thermoelectric Power Generator.

2020

[EN] Energy harvesting through residual heat is considered one of the most promising ways to power wearable devices. In this work, thermoelectric textiles were prepared by coating the fabrics, first with multiple-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by using the layer-by-layer technique and second with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) deposited by electrochemical polymerization. Sodium deoxycholate and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) were used as stabilizers to prepare the aqueous dispersions of MWCNTs. The electrochemical deposition of PEDOT on the MWCNT-coated fabric was carried out in a three-electrode electrochemical cell. The polymerization of PEDOT on the fabric increased the…

Hybrid materials based on conductive polymers for energy harvesting

2022

Uno de los objetivos de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) para el Desarrollo Sostenible 2030 es obtener energía asequible y no contaminante. Por este motivo, se recomiendan encarecidamente las mejoras en la eficiencia energética y las fuentes de energía verde como soluciones óptimas para reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono y, por tanto, reducir la huella de carbono de nuestra sociedad. Las emisiones de carbono se han cuadriplicado desde 1950 y actualmente contribuyen en torno al 80 % de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Como resultado de este cambio, el clima global sufre cambios en las tendencias globales de lluvia y una reducción en los casquetes polares. Co…

Ambienti, culture, patrimoni. Politiche e pratiche di tutela - Abstract

The complexity and instability of the current historical situation that characterizes the social and political life of our country, as well as the rapid socio-cultural transformations imposed by globalization, lead us to believe that an articulated and frequent confrontation between social sciences and public administration managers and bureaucratic systems is increasingly necessary and useful to respond to the new needs in the field of territorial and landscape planning. The critical issues regarding the management, enhancement and safeguarding of protected areas (be they environmental, landscape or archaeological) have inevitably been overshadowed and in some cases aggravated by the arriv…
