De Montaigne a Lope: distintos resultados de una misma decisión
2009
This essay presents the initial hypothesis of the diversity of cases shown by Lope de Vega’s theatre, that multiply perspectives and different endings from the same basic types of conflicts and designs, and tries to verify them with contemporary thought. This diversity is related with a certain type of discourse that has begun to spread out in the very beginning of the Renaissance and was gradually displacing the pre-eminence of universal principles (neo-platonic, or neoaristotelic and scholastic) for an invitation to casuistic analysis, an ethical modality applied that chose the concrete analysis of the concrete situation in front of the universally required dogmas. A type of discourse tha…
La mitificació vuitcentista del passat medieval: la figura de Jaume I, rei d'Aragó
2012
La reivindicació de Jaume I com a símbol identitari que, de manera col·lectiva, portaren a terme els escriptors valencians de la segona meitat del segle XIX es fonamentà en tres fites històriques molt pròximes en el temps: la commemoració del VIé centenari de la seua mort, que se celebrà en juliol de 1876; la visita que una trentena d’escriptors i artistes valencians i catalans realitzaren en maig de 1882 al monestir de Poblet (Tarragona), on fou enterrat el Conqueridor; i la commemoració del VIIé centenari del seu naixement, que es portà a terme a València en 1908. The reivindication of King Jaume I as an identity symbol done by numerous Valencian writers of the mid-19th c. is based on thr…
Many-Body Expanded Full Configuration Interaction. II. Strongly Correlated Regime
2019
In this second part of our series on the recently proposed many-body expanded full configuration interaction (MBE-FCI) method, we introduce the concept of multideterminantal expansion references. Through theoretical arguments and numerical validations, the use of this class of starting points is shown to result in a focussed compression of the MBE decomposition of the FCI energy, thus allowing chemical problems dominated by strong correlation to be addressed by the method. The general applicability and performance enhancements of MBE-FCI are verified for standard stress tests such as the bond dissociations in H$_2$O, N$_2$, C$_2$, and a linear H$_{10}$ chain. Furthermore, the benefits of em…
ChemInform Abstract: Renaissance of Electrosynthetic Methods for the Construction of Complex Molecules
2014
Current affairs: Efficient N,N dimerization by using an electric current is a recent powerful example of preparative electrosynthesis where conventional reagents fail. The general and practical nature of this method as well as other applications will breathe new life into the electroorganic synthesis of complex molecules.
From Theatre to Theatricality—How to Construct Reality
1995
At the end of the nineteenth century, the dominance of language, so typical of Western culture since the Renaissance, was increasingly challenged. As early as 1876, Nietzsche wrote on Richard Wagner in Thoughts Out of Season:He was the first to recognize an evil which is as widespread as civilization itself among men; language is everywhere diseased, and the burden of this terrible disease weighs heavily upon the whole of man's development. Inasmuch as language has retreated ever more and more from its true province— the expression of strong feelings, which it was once able to convey in all their simplicity—and has always had to strain after the practically impossible achievement of communi…
The Symbolical Realm and Historical Framework of the Contrade
2017
The chapter describes the contemporary symbolism of the contrade and its historic development in order to allow the reader to follow the subsequent analysis of the content of the contrade’s websites, in which symbols play a key role. It suggests that the contrade of Siena make significant use of mediaeval and Renaissance signs and symbol s such as particular colours, flags, and instruments. Members of a contrada build a community based on a specific district of Siena, and their lives are heavily focused on what is deemed necessary to the win a horse race called palio .
Trame e genealogie dell’ironia ariostesca
2014
AbstractQuesto saggio traccia una genealogia dell’interpretazione ironica del Furioso, risalendo alla molteplicita delle sue sorgenti, e al tempo stesso analizza la trama delle diverse accezioni dell’ironia, prendendo in considerazione il ruolo attivo della ricezione ma senza rinunciare a osservare i meccanismi in gioco direttamente nel testo ariostesco. Si delinea cosi un quadro frastagliato, in cui domina l’asse romantico-idealistico che, tra Hegel e Croce, ha per cosi dire ufficializzato l’interpretazione ironica. Ma emergono anche una serie di varianti e correzioni del paradigma romantico: l’ironia come citazione, instaurata dal postmoderno ma non priva di appigli nella tradizione antic…

Rhetoric of academic applications : Perspectives from Quentin Skinner’s Forensic Shakespeare
2019
The tools of classical and Renaissance rhetoric that Quentin Skinner uses in his Forensic Shakespeare (2014) are here applied to a contemporary context. Skinner’s discussion might have a fairly direct value for a genre of writing that most academics today must master, namely the rhetoric of applications. They have been seldom discussed from a rhetorical perspective, although knowledge of rhetoric is highly valuable for applicants, evaluators and those deciding between applications. Skinner’s book contains both advices for applicants and discussions on both the criteria of application and the possibilities of their revisions in case of innovative applications. peerReviewed
