Viene analizzato l'iter del principio progettuale del cosiddetto mat-building che riuniva la componibilità dell'edilizia industrializzata con la crescita per cellule giustapposte della architettura islamica mediterranea. Gli esempi noti elaborati dagli architetti del Team X così come in alcuni casi da La Corbusier sono analizzati e comparati con altri edifici contemporanei dove questo principio progettuale è emerso con chiarezza (Morphosis, SANAA, Mansila e Tunon). Il percorso di questa idea è tracciato a partire dagli esempi canonici di Le Corbusier , Kahn, Libera ma soprattutto attraverso le elaborazioni del Team X in connessione con lo sviluppo dell'antropologia culturale di Levi Strauss…

Myths of Primitiveness: A Barthean Interpretation of Rhetorical Devices in Early Jazz Criticism

2013

Ever since jazz began to make an impact in white aesthetic culture in the late 1910s and 1920s, critics, regardless of whether they celebrated or condemned the music, enmeshed their discourse with images of exoticism, noble savageness, and racial brutishness. As Jazz Studies emerged as an academic discipline, scholars have shown increasing interest in exposing these images in order to illustrate the pervading racist sentiment inscribed within white perception of the jazz idiom and also to establish the connections between jazz and the modernist obsession with primitivism. The aim of this paper is to contribute further study to the intricacies of primitivism through a close examination of th…

Myths in microfinance

2008

Microfinance, the provision of financial services to the poor, is high on the public agenda. We discuss and evaluate three myths regarding microfinance based on new data from rated microfinance institutions (MFIs). The first myth is that an efficient MFI needs to be shareholder owned; second that its governance should first and foremost address the potential conflict between owners and managers; and third that MFIs are drifting away from their poorer customers towards serving the wealthier. The data do not support any of these myths. We conclude that microfinance is a viable business model. Myths in microfinance

Miti mediterranei: un viaggio millenario

2020

Ha osservato Sebastiano Tusa: «Al di là delle immense e svariate risorse materiali che il mare ha offerto ed offre all’uomo, ve ne sono altre che attengono alla sfera sovrastrutturale che hanno nei millenni rifornito ed animato l’immensa enciclopedia dei miti, delle leggende e dei culti ad esso ispirati o, comunque, connessi». Distesa senza confini e abisso insondabile, il mare, con le sue repentine mutazioni di stato, le sue furiose tempeste e le sue mortifere bonacce, si è sempre imposto a chi lo solcava per raggiungere altri luoghi o per ricavarne da vivere come spazio del pericolo e del mistero, generando e sostenendo un ampio e polimorfo immaginario e divenendo attore e scenario al con…

Louisa S. McCord's Caius Gracchus: A Transatlantic Southern Literary Response to 1848 European Revolutions

2016

Louisa S. McCord is the most important female intellectual in the antebellum South and one of its most recognized voices, even if her name rarely appears in studies not directly related to her region. McCord has a parallel, according to Mary Kelley, in Margaret Fuller, the relevant prewar Northern intellectual and essayist. From contrasting ideological positions, both left testimony of their interest in constructing a model of womanhood, capable of facing the contingencies of their times. Born in one of the most influential families of South Carolina, McCord produced a phenomenal synthesis of the conservative political, economic and religious arguments accepted in her times and managed to t…

Dei, semidei ed eroi nella Sicilia greca

2022

Quando la presenza di Odisseo comincia ad essere localizzata anche in Sicilia, a partire dalla seconda metà del V secolo a.C., nell’isola erano già presenti molti culti e presenze divine ed eroiche. In questa breve sintesi il paesaggio religioso siciliano è descritto attraverso quel prezioso Baedeker ante litteram che è (almeno per alcuni aspetti) la Biblioteca diodorea. When the presence of Odysseus also began to be localised in Sicily, starting in the second half of the 5th century BC, many cults and divine and heroic presences were already present on the island. In this brief summary, the Sicilian religious landscape is described through that precious Baedeker ante litteram that is (at l…
