Rosmini e Tocqueville. Le ragioni cristiane del liberalismo
2020
Pur essendo coeve, le biografie intellettuali di Antonio Rosmini e Alexis de Tocqueville non mostrano piena reciprocità di espliciti richiami bibliografici intercorsi tra i due. Il confronto diretto, non l’unico ma senz’altro il più approfondito, è stato operato da Rosmini limitatamente al libro della Democrazia in America pubblicato nel 1835. Il filosofo di Rovereto lo pone in risalto nella definizione di molti argomenti trattati nella Filosofia della politica del 1839 e, in seguito, lo riprende occasionalmente in altri suoi studi. Non risultano, invece, riferimenti da parte di Tocqueville a opere rosminiane. Fanno eccezione alcuni contatti epistolari avvenuti tra giugno e ottobre 1849 dur…
Corrispondere al limite. Simone Weil: il pensiero e la luce
2002
La ricerca presentata nel volume si concentra sulle riflessioni più strettamente filosofiche di Simone Weil, lasciando sullo sfondo quelle politiche, nel tentativo di proporre un’ermeneutica originale degli scritti meno strutturati di Weil. A partire dai Primi scritti filosofici fino all’opera più frammentaria, ma teoreticamente più densa, i Quaderni, si vuole offrire una lettura dettagliata e unitaria di alcune nozioni cardine del pensiero weiliano, nella convinzione che il contributo teoretico da esse aperto sia tra quelli più acuti e fecondi della Francia degli anni Trenta. Nel primo capitolo si rintracciano le linee della riflessione gnoseologica weiliana attraverso, da una parte, un po…
Molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca
2012
Abstract We used a combined analysis of one nuclear (28S rDNA) and three mitochondrial markers (COI, 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA) to infer the molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca, represented by samples from the six continents that are inhabited by this group of branchiopod crustaceans. Our results confirm the monophyly of both extant notostracan genera Triops and Lepidurus with good support in model based and maximum parsimony analyses. We used branchiopod fossils as a calibration to infer divergence times among notostracan lineages and accounted for rate heterogeneity among lineages by applying relaxed-clock models. Our divergence date estimates indicate an initial diversification into the gener…
The prologue and the fi rst stasimon of Oedipus at Colonus: a comparative study
2017
En este trabajo proponemos un análisis del estásimo primero de la tragedia Edipo en Colono de Sófocles a partir de los versos 16 a 18 del prólogo de la misma obra. La comparación entre ambos pasajes puede ser importante en la medida en que el ἄλσος descrito en el prólogo es presentado como un espacio, dramáticamente importante, que se desarrolla poéticamente en el primer estásimo. Ambas descripciones presentan puntos en común que no sólo pueden ayudarnos a entender mejor la naturaleza de este bosque sagrado, sino también evidencian la programación dramática de los susodichos versos prologales. In this paper we analyze the fi rst stasimon of the tragedy Oedipus at Colonus of Sophocles based …
Simone de Beauvoir bajo la dictadura franquista: las traducciones al catalán
2015
Simone de Beauvoir fue traducida por primera vez al catalán durante el franquismo. El objetivo de este artículo es investigar la censura institucional que experimentaron, en la segunda mitad de la década de los sesenta del siglo pasado, seis obras de Beauvoir para ser publicadas en catalán, desde que las editoriales solicitaron los permisos hasta conseguir las autorizaciones. Después de contextualizar brevemente las traducciones, el artículo se centra en el estudio de los seis expedientes de censura, que nos permitirá averiguar cómo reaccionó la dictadura ante la posibilidad de traducir obras de Beauvoir (considerada por el régimen autora peligrosa por filocomunista, feminista y atea), quié…
Uncovering the hidden actors with the help of Latour: the ‘making’ of The Second Sex
2010
Aquest article vol responder a les critiques actuals a la primera i única traducció a l’anglés de Le deuxième sexe de Simone de Beauvoir. Replanteja la dinámica traductor-editor aplicant el marc sociològic de Bruno Latour per tal d’assolir conclusions més detallades i de major abast. Després d’una breu presentació d’aquesta publicació, de la recepció i de la crítica de la traducció a l’anglés, l’article investiga l’estudi de cas amb l’ajuda de Latour i de les cartes dels arxius del Smith College. L’estudi es fonamenta en la lectura de documents històrics: més d’un centenar de cartes entre el traductor, Howard M. Parshley, i l’editorial, Alfred A. Knopf. S’ofereix també una breu revisió de l…
Il Fuoco delle Passole
2019
Singing to the Wind
2021
Abstract This paper focuses on a passage of Himerius’ Oration 47 (Simon. fr. 251 Poltera = 535 PMG + p. 157 SLG), where Simonides is cited for a song that leads a ship with favourable winds, and on a passage in Plutarch’s Quaestiones Convivales (722b–c) quoting a Simonidean fragment (17 Poltera = 595 PMG) on the propagation of sounds through still air. I argue that they both can be linked with the Argonautic myth of Orpheus. In fact, the former might have some connections with the myth of Oreithyia and Boreas, parents of Zetes and Kalaïs, involved in the Argonautic expedition; moreover, it has some similarities with a fragment from Euripides’ Hypsipyle (752g Kannicht) representing Orpheus o…
The secrets of men since born: Il Machiavelli di Lord Acton
2011
Lord Acton was one of the most eminent intellectuals of the Victorian age. His political thought aimed at reconciling his Catholic faith with liberal prin-ciples. Although he has never written a book, his essays expressed an histo-riography that has exerted great influence in the study of history, the most known example of which is the Cambridge Modern History, conceived by Lord Acton himself. This article aims at showing that his interpretation of Ma-chiavelli, expressed in the introduction to the famous edition of the Prince edited by Arthur Burd, is a precious testimony of the widespread circulation of Machiavellian thought in Europe.
On eleven-dimensional supergravity and chern?SIMONS Theory
2012
We probe in some depth into the structure of eleven-dimensional, osp(32|1)-based Chern-Simons supergravity, as put forward by Troncoso and Zanelli (TZ) in 1997. We find that the TZ Lagrangian may be cast as a polynomial in 1/l, where l is a length, and compute explicitly the first three dominant terms. The term proportional to 1/l^9 turns out to be essentially the Lagrangian of the standard 1978 supergravity theory of Cremmer, Julia and Scherk, thus establishing a previously unknown relation between the two theories. The computation is nontrivial because, when written in a sufficiently explicit way, the TZ Lagrangian has roughly one thousand non-explicitly Lorentz-covariant terms. Specially…
