A review of Italian journals dealing with contemporary European history suggests that there have been notable improvements in the standards of Italian historiography in the last decade. This reflects the continued success of Quaderni Storici, the challenge of new periodicals established since the late 1970s, and the response of more established journals to the changed nature of the Italian political contest.

The paper looks at the historical and contemporary role of Catholic Church in Italian politics. Over the last sixty years Catholicism has played an important role in Italian society. The paper identify three ways in which Catholicism interacts with Italian public life: as a peculiar version of “civil religion”, through Catholic inspirited political parties and the Church intervening directly in specific public debates. After identifies the change of political role of the Catholic Church in the last decades the paper recognize the main challenges for this particular relationship in the next future

The article is concerned with the perception of Pasolini’s works and ideas in the contemporary Italian literature. Many modern writers mention or refer to Pasolini in their works. For some of them he is a brilliant rebel of the 1970s (Elena Ferrante), others are still shocked by his death (Andrea Baiani), some turn to his literary heritage, borrowing individual ideas and images (the idea of Post-history cited by Antonio Scurati, the theme of duplicity by Sandro Veronesi, the theme of consumerism in modern society by Walter City) or echo by the very structure of their works (Giuseppe Genna). Pasolini becomes an example or a beacon for many modern writers, he is seen as a man who is undividedly devoted to the word and at the same time has a clear ideological position, who put above all the needs of his neighbors and who took on himself the role of the national conscience revealing the ills of modern society.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores Gabriele Basilico’s photographs of the contemporary Italian environment and argues for their status as both iconic – that is to say, distinctive, highly visible, and memorable – and anti-iconic symbols or images. The discussion first explores the anti-iconic impulse in Basilico’s work. It marks out his standing as one of the most prominent proponents of the trend in contemporary Italian photography which sought to counter the mythic view of the country’s landscape and highlights his involvement in the trend’s seminal exhibition, Viaggio in Italia (1984). The article then makes a case for the simultaneous iconic nature of Basilico’s photographs by looking at the 2007/08 exhibition Milano si mostra. 1 Km con Gabriele Basilico, examining the ways in which Basilico’s images were made into icons of Milan’s urban identity.

AbstractThe article examines the role played by contemporary historical research between 1960 and 2018 within the „Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken“. The principal results emerging from the survey are as follows: 1) especially from 1980 onwards, the journal devoted increasing space to contemporary history; 2) it also hosted a growing number of contributions written by Italian authors, both in Italian and in German; 3) in order to enlarge its readership, it would be helpful for the journal to publish a larger number of essays by German-speaking authors in Italian.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the presence of Garibaldi in the politics of contemporary Italy by focusing in particular on the publications released on or around the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the hero in the milieux that oppose the Italian state and contest the idea of an Italian nation. After a brief review of previous political appropriations (and rejections) of Garibaldi in the course of modern Italian history, the essay examines the ideological ingredients and rhetorical strategies of the representations of Garibaldi produced by Northern League and neo-Bourbon ideologues, which also surface in extreme neo-fascist and ultra-Catholic groups. It shows that while some ‘anti-myth’ ingredients are shared across this politically diverse constellation, others are more specific to their individual components. In particular Northern League ideologues use some of the clichés of the discourse of Italian character (in the negative) to claim their own difference (in the positive). The essay also points out that the visibility enjoyed by these versions of Italian history is greatly enhanced by the availability of new media technologies such as the internet (with the related effect of ‘group polarisation’), as well as by the presence of the Northern League in the ruling right-wing coalition led by media mogul Berlusconi, who has an inordinate degree of control over the national media.

Full textAbstract:
La figura del nobile Francesco Cusani Confalonieri (1802-1879) non è stata ancora adeguatamente indagata dalla storiografia, sebbene la sua poliedricità offra interessanti prospettive di ricerca sulla cultura italiana di primo Ottocento e sui suoi legami con quella europea. Egli fu infatti allievo di Gian Domenico Romagnosi, traduttore, storico, editore, viaggiatore e patriota lombardo, nonché autore di una voluminosa Storia di Milano in otto tomi, pubblicata in epoca post-unitaria, per la quale è tuttora noto agli studiosi.
Attraverso l’esame delle sue carte personali, finora inesplorate, e delle sue opere, questa tesi intende scandagliare il suo vissuto da un nuovo angolo visuale, domandandosi se esistesse un nesso tra i suoi lavori storico-letterari e il suo engagement politico.
Innanzitutto risale all’ambiente familiare per comprendere quale fu il retroterra su cui poté maturare il senso d’appartenenza nazionale di Cusani. Grazie al reperimento di alcuni testi fruiti e prodotti da quest’ultimo durante il periodo universitario (1823-1828), si concentra poi su un elemento cruciale per i futuri sviluppi della sua attività di intellettuale: il precoce intreccio che, nella sua esperienza, si verificò tra ideali risorgimentali e romanticismo, caratterizzato fin dai suoi albori da uno spiccato cosmopolitismo.
La ricerca coglie perciò quali ne furono gli esiti, soffermandosi sull’operato di Cusani nell’Italia preunitaria. In particolare, analizza come le sue traduzioni di alcune opere di Walter Scott e la sua ideazione di periodici italiani per bambini e ragazzi concorsero alla diffusione di principi liberali all’interno della Penisola, mantenendo, però, un costante dialogo con la dimensione europea. Quindi rintraccia l’influsso che questi precedenti lavori e alcuni successivi viaggi in Italia e in Europa esercitarono sul contributo di Cusani ai progetti editoriali della Pirotta e Compagni, tipografia-libreria milanese di cui egli fu socio dal 1835 al 1859.
Alla luce di questa ricostruzione, la partecipazione del personaggio all’insurrezione quarantottesca si configura, pertanto, come l’esito di un percorso culturale iniziato nei decenni precedenti e costantemente volto alla modernizzazione della Penisola sotto qualsiasi aspetto – incluso quello politico – in linea coi progressi europei. Parimenti, la Storia di Milano risulta l’approdo di una lunga ricerca storica nata negli anni Trenta e permeata da velati intenti politici.The figure of nobleman Francesco Cusani Confalonieri (1802-1879) has not been sufficiently investigated yet, even though the study of his eclectic life provides new perspectives on the Italian culture of the early nineteenth century and its links to the rest of Europe. He was a disciple of Gian Domenico Romagnosi, a translator, historian, publisher, traveller, Lombard patriot and the author of History of Milan (Storia di Milano) in eight volumes, published after the Italian Unification, for which he is still well known to scholars. Through the analysis of his personal documents, till now untouched, and his works, this research aims to explore his life from a new point of view, by focusing on the possible connection between his literary activity and his political involvement. Firstly, it examines his family environment in order to understand the cultural background in which Cusani’s sense of national identity could flourish. Secondly, thanks to the discovery of texts written or read by him during his time at the University of Pavia (1823-1828), the work focuses on a crucial element for the future developments of his intellectual activity: the relationship between national ideals and Romanticism that he precociously experienced, marked by a strong cosmopolitanism since the beginning. As a result, the research looks at Cusani’s activity in preunitarian Italy. Specifically, it examines how his translations of some of Walter Scott’s works and the children’s periodicals he created contributed to the diffusion of national ideals throughout Italy, all the while maintaining a constant dialogue with the rest of Europe. It then tracks the influence these previous works and some subsequent trips in Italy and Europe had on Cusani’s contribution to the editorial projects by “Pirotta e Compagni”, the Milanese publishing house he was a member of from 1835 to 1859. In light of this study, Cusani’s participation to the 1848 insurrection becomes the outcome of a process begun in the previous decades and continually aimed at the modernization of the country under all aspects – including its politics – and in line with European progress. Likewise, his History of Milan is the end result of a long historical research originated in 1832 and imbued with covert political aims.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates the use of the subjunctive in completive clauses governed by verbs in Italian, both synchronically and diachronically, and in Vulgar Latin. By making use of the tools provided by the Variationist Sociolinguistic framework (Labov 1972, 1994), the current study sheds light on the underlying conditioning on variability using actual usage and speech-surrogate data. Contemporary actual speech data comes from LIP (De Mauro et al. 1993) and C-ORAL-ROM (Cresti & Moneglia 2005) corpora, providing spontaneous discourse in casual and careful speech as well as sub-sample divisions representative of geographical variation. In order to measure any changes in the underlying conditioning on subjunctive selection, a diachronic benchmark is established: a corpus of speech-like surrogates of 16th to 20th century Italian, COHI (Corpus of Historical Italian), and a corpus of Vulgar Latin (Cena Trimalchionis, from the Satyricon by Petronius). The subjunctives were extracted in adherence to the principle of accountability (Labov 1972), using the method developed by Poplack (1992): every complement clause governed by a matrix verb (governor) that triggered the subjunctive at least once was included. This method enables us to circumvent the issue of the lack of consensus in the literature on exactly which contexts, i.e. verbs and/or meanings, should trigger the subjunctive in discourse. This issue surfaces as well from the meta-linguistic analysis of a compendium of 58 Italian grammars and treaties (CSGI, Collezione Storica di Grammatiche Italiane), constructed for the purpose of this research.
A series of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors proposed by formal and prescriptive literature are operationalized and tested against the corpora of both Italian and Vulgar Latin, in order to ascertain the nature of variability in discourse: i.e. whether the use of the subjunctive is semantically motivated, productive in speech or undergoing desemanticization and lexicalization. Despite widespread assumption of a change that occurred after the political and the subsequent linguistic unification of Italy, i.e. that the subjunctive has lost ground in favour of the indicative when it was supposedly used categorically in the past, quantitative and statistical evidence shows that subjunctive selection is largely determined by lexical identity of the governor as well as embedded suppletive forms of essere, and that this pattern has been operative at least since the 16th century.
On a more socio-linguistic aspect, this study confirms the linguistic prestige that the subjunctive has acquired in contemporary speech, being selected with a wider range of infrequent and singleton governors by highly educated speakers. Also, the highly lexicalized pattern on variability was found to be largely shared amongst the four main urban centres of Florence, Milan, Rome, and Naples, thus countering the assumption of divergent linguistic behaviour between northern and southern varieties of Italian.
The study also shows that despite the significant time span targeted, no evidence of desemanticization has been found. Likewise, the variationist analysis on the Vulgar Latin subjunctive shows that subjunctive choice was already largely determined by, and restricted, to a few governors, identified as ‘volitive’ and ‘emotive’ matrices. These governors remained strong predictors for the selection of the subjunctive in Italian as well, suggesting that this lexical pattern has been transferred and consistently retained in the daughter language.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche analyse comment et pourquoi la production littéraire sarde la plus récente réactualise la présence des Espagnols en Sardaigne (1479-1720). Il s'agit de réfléchir à l’attention que les auteurs sardes prêtent aujourd'hui à la domination espagnole dans l’île mais aussi à la renaissance, sous de nouvelles formes, du genre « roman historique ». Le travail a pour objectif de comprendre les raisons decette récupération de l’histoire de la part de la littérature, et d'étudier à travers quelles modalités se manifeste ce besoin de mémoire. La recherche se base sur un corpus littéraire composé de dix romans et deux nouvelles écrits entre 1986 et 2017. Les textes choisis sont l'oeuvre de neufs auteurs : Francesco Abate, Paola Alcioni, Giulio Angioni, Sergio Atzeni, Anna Castellino, Pietro Maurandi, Carlo A. Melis Costa, Nicolò Migheli et Raffaele Puddu, appartenant au courant dit « nouvelle vague sarde ». Ces textes ont tous pour cadre la période d’influence ibérique en Sardaigne. Grâce à ces oeuvres, qui ont connu une importante diffusion, la période espagnole revient dans l'imaginaire contemporain. Ce retour de la mémoire historique se manifeste, au niveau littéraire, par des caractéristiques propres : la présence constante d'un langage hybride ; l’importance de l'oralité ; un emploi original du matériel historique dans la narration ; un point de vue "autre" sur les événements. Ce corpus a été analysé selon des paradigmes élaborés dans le cadre du roman « néo-historique » (Benvenuti, 2012 et Domenichelli, 2011), des études sur le Sud et la subalternité (Gramsci, 1975 et 2008, Said, 1980 et 2000, Chambers, 2003 et 2006), et selon une approche « micro-historique » (Ginzburg, 1976 et 2006)This research analyses how and why the most recent Sardinian literary production updates the presence of the Spanish in Sardinia (1479-1720). It mainly focuses on the attention that Sardinian authors pay today to the Spanish domination on the island but also to the revival, in new forms, of the genre "historical novel". The aim of the work is to understand the reasons for this recovery of history from the literature, and to study through what modalities this need for memory manifests itself. The research is based on a literary corpus composed of ten novels and two short stories writings between 1986 and 2017. The texts chosen are the work of nine authors: Francesco Abate, Paola Alcioni, Giulio Angioni, Sergio Atzeni, Anna Castellino, Pietro Maurandi, Carlo A. Melis Costa, Nicolò Migheli et Raffaele Puddu, belonging to the current called "new Sardinian wave". These texts are all based on the period of Iberian influence in Sardinia. Thanks to these works, which have been widely disseminated, the Spanish period returns to the contemporary imagination. This return to historical memory is manifested, at the literary level, by its own characteristics: the constant presence of a hybrid language; the importance of orality; original use of historical material in the narration; an "other" point of view on events. This corpus has been analysed according to paradigms developed within the framework of the “neo-historical” novel (Benvenuti, 2012 and Domenichelli, 2011), studies on the South and subaltern (Gramsci, 1975 and 2008, Said, 1980 and 2000, Chambers, 2003 and 2006), and according to a “micro-historical” approach (Ginzburg, 1976 and 2006)

Full textAbstract:
Nous pouvons appréhender le Cinéma comme un vecteur culturel capable de cristalliser les us et coutumes d’une société, ou comme un outil susceptible d’en manifester les aspirations. L’industrie cinématographique italienne demeure parmi celles qui ont su imposer dans l'imaginaire des publics des œuvres venues aussitôt enrichir le patrimoine culturel mondial. De nos jours, sa présence internationale est plus modérée, et le rayonnement de ses œuvres ne dépasse que rarement les limites nationales. Les quelques auteurs tels que Emanuele Crialese, Matteo Garrone et Paolo Sorrentino ont su gagner une visibilité désormais incontestable, leur permettant de devenir le symbole d’un cinéma italien contemporain renaissant. Les contenus de leurs filmographies sont le résultat de formes cinématographiques tout aussi riches que variées, et leur influence semble capable de modifier et de mettre à jour l’imaginaire des passionnés de culture italienne. Nos travaux veulent étudier et comprendre l’impact de leurs œuvres au sein d’un pays comme la France. À travers une étude qui se veut historique, sociologique et économique, nous analysons la représentation du réel dans l’histoire du cinéma transalpin, un idéal intellectuel qui semble intéresser particulièrement les publics français. Puis nous nous consacrons aux contenus de nos trois filmographies de référence, pour en extrapoler les données socio-politico-économiques. L’étude de l’impact de ces œuvres sur les critiques cinématographiques français conclut ces travaux, qui se penchent également sur la distribution et l’exploitation de ce cinéma, présent non seulement dans les salles de l'Hexagone, mais diffusé parallèlement au sein de nombreux festivalsOne may approach cinema as a cultural vector which can either give shape to the habits and customs of a given society or reflect its yearnings. The Italian film industry is one among those which have produced movies which entered the global cultural imaginary. Nowadays, its international presence has been reshaped and Italian films do not easily shine beyond the national frame. Artists such as Emanuele Crialese, Matteo Garrone or Paolo Sorrentino have managed to achieve an undeniable visibility, and have become the symbol of a reborn contemporary Italian cinema. The content of their filmographies are the result of film shapes that are as rich as they are diverse, and their influence seems able to alter and to update the imaginary of italian culture connoisseurs. The purpose of our work is to study and understand the impact of their masterpieces on the French audience. Through a historical, sociological and economical study, we will analyse the representation of reality in the history of Italian cinema : an intellectual ideal which seems to have been of interest especially to the French spectators. Then we will focus on the content of these three specific directors’ lifework in order to examine social, political and economical data. Finally, we will conclude by observing the impact these films have had on French experts such as film critics. This study also deals with the distribution and the running of these specific directors’ films not only in the cinemas but also when aired in various film festivals
È possibile concepire il Cinema come un vettore culturale capace di materializzare gli usi e i costumi di una società, o suscettibile di manifestarne le aspirazioni. L'industria cinematografica italiana dimora tra quelle che hanno saputo imporre delle opere entrate istantaneamente nell'immaginario collettivo, e ciò su scala mondiale. Oggi, la sua presenza a livello internazionale è stata ridimensionata e la diffusione delle sue opere oltrepassa raramente i confini nazionali. I rari autori del calibro di Emanuele Crialese, Matteo Garrone e Paolo Sorrentino hanno saputo acquisire una visibilità oramai indiscussa, permettendo loro di diventare il simbolo d'un cinema italiano contemporaneo rinascente. I contenuti delle loro filmografie sono il risultato di forme cinematografiche tanto ricche quanto varie, e la loro influenza sembra capace di modificare e aggiornare l'immaginario degli appassionati di cultura italiana. Queste ricerche vogliono analizzare e comprendere l'impatto delle loro opere in un paese come la Francia. Attraverso degli studi storici, sociologici ed economici, queste ricerche analizzano le forme rappresentative legate al reale presenti nella storia del cinema italiano, un ideale intellettuale che sembra interessare in particolar modo i pubblici francesi. Inoltre, esse si consacrano all'estrapolazione dei dati socio-politico-economici contenuti nelle tre filmografie a cui facciamo riferimento. L'analisi dell'impatto di queste opere sui critici cinematografici francesi scelti come pubblici, concludono queste ricerche che si dedicano in egual modo alla distribuzione e alla commercializzazione di queste opere, presenti non solo in sala, ma diffuse inoltre in molti festival

Ce travail de recherche s’interroge sur l’usage des langues dialectales dans le théâtre italien contemporain. De fait, celles-ci restent une source d’inspiration importante dans les créations les plus innovantes des trente dernières années, malgré l’affirmation de l’italien sur tout le territoire national depuis l’Unité. Cette étude s’interroge sur les valeurs et les enjeux de ces langues dialectales dans un théâtre actuel qui est, pour une part importante, le fait d’acteurs-auteurs : ainsi, la relation qui s’établit entre l’artiste, à la fois créateur et interprète, et la langue théâtrale, s’appuie sur une approche de l’élément langagier qui est aussi fondamentalement pré-cognitive, voire corporelle.Après avoir élucidé dans un premier temps les dynamiques linguistiques à l’œuvre dans le théâtre italien depuis l’Unité, cette étude se resserre autour de la pratique de cinq acteurs-auteurs contemporains : Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) et Enzo Moscato. L’analyse du parcours de chacun de ces artistes, ainsi que d’une œuvre en particulier, se propose d’établir une cartographie du théâtre italien contemporain puisant dans les dialectes la matière de sa langue théâtrale. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence les lignes de fuite de créations qui interrogent trois notions clés au cœur de l’analyse : le temps, le territoire et l’identité, notions qu’une réflexion constante sur le concept de limite et de frontière affine et redéfinit progressivementThis doctoral dissertation deals with the use of dialectal languages in the contemporary Italian theater. Indeed, these languages remain an important source of inspiration in the most innovating creations of the last thirty years, in spite of the paramount place the Italian language has come to have in the whole national territory since the Italian Unification. This study deals with the values and with what is at stake in these dialectal languages in today's theater which is, most of the time, created by actors-authors: therefore, the relationship between the artist, who is both creator and performer, and dramatic language, relies on a way of tackling the linguistic element that is fundamentally precognitive and corporal as well.After having cleared up the linguistic dynamics in the Italian theater since the Unification ; the study focuses on the work of five contemporary actors-authors: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) and Enzo Moscato. Studying the work of these artists, as well as a specific play, intends to draw up a cartography of the contemporary Italian theater that is inspired by dialect languages to create its own dramatic language. The study aims to lay emphasis on the convergence lines of creations which deals with three key notions, at the core of the study: time, territory and identity. These three notions will be progressively redefined and precised by working on the idea of limit and boundary
Questo lavoro di ricerca si interroga sull’uso delle lingue dialettali nel teatro italiano contemporaneo. Infatti, esse restano un’importante fonte d’ispirazione nelle creazioni più innovative degli ultimi trent’anni, nonostante l’affermarsi dell’italiano sull’intero territorio nazionale a partire dall’Unità. Questo studio si interroga sui valori e sul peso di queste lingue dialettali nel teatro odierno che, in larga parte, viene realizzato da attori-autori: perciò, la relazione che si stabilisce tra l’artista, insieme creatore ed interprete, e la lingua teatrale è fondata su un approccio fondamentalmente pre-cognitivo, e perfino corporeo, dell’elemento linguistico.Dopo aver chiarito, in un primo momento, le dinamiche linguistiche in atto nel teatro italiano sin dall’Unità, questo studio si accentra intorno alla pratica di cinque attori-autori contemporanei: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) e Enzo Moscato. L’analisi del percorso di ognuno di questi artisti, nonché di una loro opera in particolare, mira a stabilire una cartografia del teatro italiano contemporaneo che attinge dai dialetti la materia della propria lingua teatrale. Si tratta di evidenziare le linee di fuga di creazioni che interrogano tre nozioni-chiave al cuore dell’analisi: il tempo, il territorio e l’identità, nozioni affinate e progressivamente ridefinite da una costante riflessione sul concetto di limite e di confine

AbstractPhysical daily contexts are replete with traces of the past. A statue in a park, the name of a street, or an old advertisement can all remind people of specific historical moments or periods. Often, they recall glorious episodes, but traces of less glorious pasts also persist. Among them, the most self-censored ones refer to past immoral actions that tarnish the overly idealized moral standard attributed to the group. As a case in point, material traces of the colonial past became the focus of controversies within formerly colonizing countries during the last decade. European anti-racist movements questioned the colonial heritage of European societies in an unprecedented manner and active social minorities also brought to the fore some traces still in the background of physical environments. Part of public opinion reacted by denouncing the “cancel culture” or the danger of “erasing” history. This chapter outlines a social psychological approach about contemporary perceptions and interpretations of still self-censored material traces of Italian colonialism. Results of a qualitative survey on Italian participants’ representations and attitudes toward a candy with a colonial wrapping will illustrate how Italian participants of different generations question this ephemeral trace and take on the challenge of a cumbersome past.

AbstractWith reference to the Italian agribusiness sector, this chapter probes the specters of “the plantation” as the (ob)scene of discourses on “modern slavery,” and traces alternative genealogies of the current organization and representation of migrant farm labor. The history of the transatlantic trade and the New-World plantation has a prominent presence in this field of representation. But multiple, geographically and temporally heterogeneous plantation pasts and specters of enslavement haunt contemporary agribusiness districts, the slums and labor camps which punctuate them, and their patterns of labor management, in different and even contradictory ways. “The plantation” and “slavery” as its principle of organization may be evoked in diminishing or oppressive terms that work as a distancing mechanism to occlude subjectivities and struggles. At the same time, redemptive and oppositional conjurings of the New-World plantation emerge from the coinage of the notion of a “Black Mediterranean” as a redemptive parallel to the “Black Atlantic,” and in workers’ myriad references to practices and cultures of marronage first developed in cross-Atlantic exchanges. Yet, other scenes, recursive patterns, localized geographies and buried genealogies are shown to be equally crucial to understand contemporary forms of extraction, containment and racialization, and for truly abolitionist struggles.

Full textAbstract:
The paper focuses on the interlacement of literary and iconographic elements by displaying an innovatory philological and stylistic approach, from a comparative perspective, in thematizing multilingual translational and adaptive aspects, ranging across Bernard Berenson's diaristic and epistolary corpus, in conjunction with his works on Italian visual culture. This interweaving gives occasion to the elaboration of multilinguistic textual influences and their verbo-visual artistic representations deduced from his innovative interpretative readings in the domain of world literature in modern times. Such analysis of the discourse of theoretical and literary nature, and of the pictoricity, refers to Bernard Berenson's multilingual considerations about canonical authors in English, Italian, French, German language, belonging to the Neoclassical and Romantic period, as well as to the contemporary era, as conceptualized in his autobiographical works, in correlation with his writings on Italian figurative art. The scope of this presentation is to discern and articulate Berenson's aesthetic ideas evoking literary and artistic modernity, that are infused with crucial notions of translational theory and conveyed through the methodology of close reading and comprising at the same time, in an omnicomprehensive manner, a plurality of tendencies intrinsic to social paradigms of cultural studies. Unexplored premises reflecting Berenson's vision of Italian culture, most notably of a visual stamp, will be analyzed through author's understandings of such adaptive translations or volumes to be subsequently translated in Italian, and through their intertwined intertextual applications, significantly contributing to further critical and hermeneutic reception thereof. Particular attention is drawn to its instancing in the field of Romantic literary production (Emerson, Byron), originally underscoring the specificities of each literary genre and expressive mode, of the narrative, lyric or theatrical nature, as well as concomitantly involving parallel notions as adapted variants within visual arts, and in such a way expressing theoretical views pertainable to Italian artworks too. Other analogous elements relevant to literary expression in the most varied cultural sectors such as philosophy, music, civilisational history (Goethe, Hegel, Kant, Wagner, Chateaubriand, Rousseau, Mme de Staël, Taine) are furnished, as well as the examples of the resonances of non-western cultures, with the objective of exploring the effect among readership bringing also to the renewal of Italian tradition.

E-mail: alessandrocamiz@gau.edu.tr Keywords (3-5): urban tissues, urban morphology, urban routes, theory, history Conference topics and scale: Tools of analysis in urban morphology Recent urban morphology studies consider urban tissues as living organisms changing in time (Strappa, Carlotti, Camiz, 2016), following this assumption the theory should examine more analytically what Muratori called ‘medievalisation’ (Muratori, 1959), a term describing some of the transformations of urban routes happened in the middle ages. The paper considers the diachronic deformation of routes, and other multi-scalar occurrences of the attraction phenomena (Charalambous, Geddes, 2015), introducing the notion of attractors and repellers. Archaeological studies already do consider attractors and repellers as a tool to interpret some territorial transformations, following the assumption that “the trajectory that a system follows through time is the result of a continuous dynamic interaction between that system and the multiple 'attractors' in its environment” (Renfrew, Bahn, 2013, p. 184). There are different elements that can act as attractors in an urban environment, such as bridges, city walls, city gates, water systems, markets, special buildings, and it is possible to consider each of these anthropic attractors as equivalent to a morphological attractor at the geographical scale. We can even interpret the ridge-top theory (Caniggia, 1976) as the result of attraction and repellence of geographic features on anthropic routes. The territorial scale analysis is the methodological base of the theory, but the attractors herein considered operate at the urban scale, deviating locally across time from a rectilinear trajectory and defining a specific urban fabric. The research interprets and reads the effects of attractors on urban routes and fabrics as a method for the reconstruction of Nicosia’s medieval city walls, in continuity between the Conzenian approach (Whitehand, 2012) and the Italian School of Urban Morphology (Marzot, 2002).

E-mail: giancarlo.salamone@uniroma1.it Keywords (3-5): Restructuring, Rome, Trastevere, process, reading method, tools, analysis in urban morphology Conference topics and scale: Tools of analysis in urban morphology Trastevere, the only area of the historic center of Rome (together with the Vatican / Borgo complex) located on the right side of the Tiber river, shows a morphological structure that depends on the pre-existing substrate, both road that typological, which was modified during the post-unity period by the establishment of the Tiber fronts and, above all, by the opening of Viale Trastevere. In the way of thinking about urban morphology as a scalar product of the factors that influence each other, in particular building typology, local structure, overall structure and territory, and that contribute together to generate an organism, it is therefore possible to read this part of the historical center as the last product, but not definitive, of a "process". The reading method on the consolidated structure, later renovated in a post-unification era, is based on the analysis of the most abundant building typology and on the permanence and derivations of local typological processes that led to the formulation of the “line house” in nineteenth-century line, the predominant building type of roman expansion in nineteenth-twentieth century. The reading of the restructuring, understood as synchronic action on the historical center, has been implemented instead by the analysis of synchronic variations at “line house” through the research of all projects registered for the edification of each block. Thus we can see how the blocks resulting from the transformation, in the logic of a restructuring "contromaglia" like the one for the opening of Viale Trastevere, will be the result of the disconnection of the existing blocks in which the building type adopted has had to adapt to a lower return situations: a reading of a synchronic action on a diachronic process that gives us the modern morphological apparatus.
