Dove finisce il mondo

2015

Dove finisce il mondo offers the first Italian translation of two cpmparatively recent stories by Bernardine Evaristo, the unpublished On Top of the World (2006) and I'm Think I'm Going Slightly Mad (I think I'm slightly crazy, 2011) and, in the appendix, the translation of her theoretical essay CSI Europe (2008), which refers to the thematic issues that affect the writer's stories and pervade her entire narrative production. The stories, in investigating contemporary forms of female distress, outline the extreme journeys of the protagonists in search of an identity free from gender and ethnic-racial conditioning: one in the Arctic lands whose whiteness becomes the scene of a potential suic…

Castidad o castigo. El estupro de las Vestales como símbolo de desorden social en Roma

2016

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo tratar el sacerdocio de las vestales desde la perspectiva de la virginidad y castidad de las sacerdotisas y su relación con el bienestar de la comunidad.

Black European Inscriptions and the Challenge to Modern Essentialist Identities: The Case of Bernardine Evaristo’s Soul Tourists

2013

Centred around the voyage by car and across Europe which, in the late eighties, leads two black Britons, Stanley Williams and Jessie O’Donnell, from England to the Middle East, the novel becomes an imaginative vehicle through which Evaristo represents the black presence as intrinsic to Europe since the th century and foregrounds the substantial contribution of black and mixed-race men and women to the cultural development of Western …

Martinus Garatus Laudensis on Treaties

2004

Introduction Martinus Garatus Laudensis' De confaederatione, pace et conventionibus principum is widely acknowledged as one of the first monographic works on the law of treaties. Whatever the merits of such a characterisation, there is a risk that it may obfuscate some of that work's essential features in its proper legal-historical context. Before considering the substance of the work, it is therefore necessary to consider some of its formal features, if only as a general methodological caveat. Martinus Garatus on the prince and the law Before the second half of the seventeenth century, legal monographs on treaties are scarce. That, of course, does not mean that the rich civil and canon la…
