Full textAbstract:
In a period of recession as the one we are experiencing, the requests of the civil society are often addressed to the achievement of wealth and results palpable on the short-run. Consequently, other aspects are often not considered compelling. This is the case for measures taken for the protection of the environment: we think there are much more important matters that need to be considered first, as if it was an issue with lesser relevance.
This is the reason why the work focuses on the Green Economy. More specifically, it focuses on the idea of Green New Deal, proving how green investments are instruments that protect the environment and, at the same time, overcome the crisis.
Being the Green Economy a science “in-the making”, the works starts by trying to give a definition of it, first through some of the green thought founders’ ideas – Robertson, Schumacher, Henderson, Boulding – then using more recent definitions. Next, it is analysed the concept of “Green New Deal”, which as stated before, is the core of the work. Particularly, it is stressed the idea of Green New Deal for Europe.
In the second chapter, there is an analysis of the economic tools that the European Union makes available for the development of environmental projects. This has been considered an important topic to develop, since the opportunities that the European Union offers are often ignored, and, as a consequence, it is frequently perceived as a distant institution, an institution that does nothing but give rules instead of helping its citizens.
Finally, it has been analysed what Green New Deal means for Italy in terms of economic and environmental health. Moreover, in this final section, examples of companies, located in the Veneto Region, that have benefited of the tools provided by the European Union have been analysed as an empirical proof of the benefits of a green conversion for our country.

Girardon, Sheila Patricia. "Italic votive terracotta heads from the British Museum : a stylistic appraisal in their religious and historical settings." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1994. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1349436/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis aims to examine a collection of Italic votive terracotta heads, dated between the early 4th and the late 2nd centuries B.C., in the British Museum. The study proposes a stylistic appraisal of the terracotta heads in their religious and historical settings divided into three parts. The first part includes the introduction and five chapters. In the first chapter is discussed the religious background: Greek healing gods) Italic and Roman healing cults and Aesculapios. The second chapter is concerned with the religiousness of the Italic peoples: their devoutness; the cults; the practice of the caput velatum. Chapter three deals with the notion of votive offering in the ancient world: the origin; in the Greek religious sphere; the votive offerings as an exchange, as substitution, as gifts; their place in the sanctuary; in the Italic religious sphere and their distribution on the Italian territory; the specialisation of sanctuaries; the anatomical ex-votos; miniaturisation of votives as substitution; fertility, puberty and well-being. Chapter four deals with ancient medicine and the anatomical votives: the dawn of medical science; the evidence of the anatomical votives; medical interpretation of the votives; representation of diseased organs. In chapter five are considered the sanctuary and the worshippers: the types of sanctuaries; the identification and location of sanctuaries; the evidence for healing cults; the votive deposits; the appearance and disappearance of anatomical votive terracottas; the historical background. The second part includes three chapters. Chapters ix considers the various stylistic influences: in pre-Roman Etruria; in central and southern Italy; the Roman influence; copies of famous sculptures and their relationship with votive terracottas. Chapter seven is a survey of the jewellery displayed on the female heads: crowns; diadems; earrings; necklaces. Chapter eight is a survey of the hairstyles displayed on both female and male heads. Chapter nine examines the technique of manufacture of the votive heads: the problems of mass-production; the workshops and the artisans; the specific, heads in the British Museum. The third part of this study includes an extensive catalogue of the female and male heads divided into groups according to their stylistic affinities. The catalogue is introduced by a section on the classification and terminology. The thesis is concluded by a synopsis of the focal points of part one and two integrated by the observations on the groups of heads in the catalogue.

Seffer, Valentina. "Identity on the Threshold: The Myth of Persephone in Italian American Women’s Memoirs." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/13957.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analyses the recurrent theme of the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone in third-generation Italian American women’s memoirs. I argue that these women appropriate their Italian ethnic roots through a creative and compelling rereading and reworking of the myth of Demeter and Persephone. To develop my argument, I explore the interlacing of myth and memory in three contemporary Italian American memoirs: No Pictures in my Grave: A Spiritual Journey in Sicily (1992), The Skin between Us: A Memoir of Race, Beauty, and Belonging (2006), and The Anarchist Bastard: Growing Up Italian in America (2011), respectively written by Susan Caperna Lloyd, Kym Ragusa, and Joanna Clapps Herman. These texts belong to the hybrid genre of memoir; a genre that combines imagination with individual and collective memory. Through the genre of memoir and the practice of self-writing, these authors turn to the myth as a source for female empowerment and ethnic assertion. The myth of Persephone in these Italian American women’s memoirs epitomizes the archetype of origin so it becomes a treasure to be sought and rediscovered. These texts offer insightful perspective on myth while also posing questions of difference, gender, race, ethnicity, self-representation, and post-modern identity. Through an eclectic approach, including literary criticism, cultural studies, and anthropology, I argue that these three memoirs show how the authors’ physical and/or psychological journeys between Italy and America have helped them to overcome the anxieties experienced in relation to their Italian American hybrid identity. This thesis explores the themes of liminality, ethnicity, race, and hybridity to understand how the Persephone myth is used by the authors to articulate their condition as dwellers of the limen, and to help them come to terms with the trauma of loss, separation, and reunion.

Full textAbstract:
In questa tesi vengono mostrati i risultati delle prove di compressione, trazione e flessione effettuate su culmi di bambù di provenienza italiana. Le specie analizzate sono due e sono la Phyllostachys Edulis (MOSO) e la Phyllostachys Viridiglaucescens. Le prove sono state effettuate seguendo le norme ISO 22156 e ISO 22157, le uniche norme internazionali relative al bambù strutturale. Dai risultati ottenuti, sono stati successivamente definiti i valori caratteristici di resistenza a compressione e flessione dei culmi delle due specie italiane analizzate.
Inoltre, è stato ideato e testato in laboratorio un nuovo e versatile collegamento per le strutture in bambù. Il collegamento, realizzato mediante un cilindro in legno solidarizzato con viti autofilettanti, è stato progettato in modo tale da essere prontamente impiegabile sia per la realizzazione di capriate sia per le strutture reticolari spaziali. La scelta di questa tipologia di collegamento è stata motivata da due aspetti principali. Il primo aspetto è che l’utilizzo di viti autofilettanti non richiede particolari capacità da parte del costruttore. Il secondo aspetto risiede nel fatto che per il fissaggio delle viti è richiesto un preliminare foro accomodante, il quale garantisce l’integrità del culmo durante l’avvitamento, evitando così spaccature longitudinali della canna di bambù.
Nella seconda parte della tesi viene trattato il problema dell’instabilità lineare (linear buckling) per le aste sottoposte a sforzi di compressione, con la particolarità che la rigidezza flessionale sia variabile lungo l’asse longitudinale, caratteristica peculiare dei culmi di bambù. Primariamente viene esposta una breve introduzione storica del problema e, successivamente, viene proposto un metodo per la determinazione della soluzione approssimata in forma chiusa dell’equazione differenziale che regola il problema. Il metodo consiste nel rappresentare l’effettiva rigidezza flessionale, descritta da un polinomio di quinto grado, con una funzione lineare. Questo metodo permette altresì di valutare il carico critico euleriano attraverso una semplice formula, risultando così agevole per scopi professionali. Il metodo proposto, inoltre, permette di valutare approssimativamente in forma chiusa la deformata trasversale delle aste di bambù sottoposte a carico assiale eccentrico e in presenza di imperfezioni.In this thesis the results of compression, tensile and bending tests on Italian bamboo culms are discussed. The analyzed bamboo are of two species, namely Phyllostachys Edulis (MOSO) and Phyllostachys Viridiglaucescens. These tests are carried out following the rules of ISO 22156 and ISO 22157. The characteristics values of the compressive and flexural strength of Italian bamboo culms are determined. A new and versatile connector for bamboo structures is developed and tested to evaluate its effectiveness. This connector is realized by wood parts and screws and it is appropriate for constructing trusses and space frames. The use of the screws to connect wood and bamboo is due to two main aspects. First, the screws are easy to use and no particular skill is needed. Second, no splitting arises along the culm since a preliminary drilling is needed to introduce the screw. In the second part of the thesis, the linear buckling problem of non-uniform columns is treated. Firstly, a brief overview of the history of the linear buckling is described. Since bamboo culms present non-uniform flexural stiffness along the length, an approach to evaluate the approximate analytical solution of the governing equation is presented. This method can calculate the critical load in a simple way, directly accessible to the designers. The proposed method gives a closed-form estimate of the bamboo column deflection, subjected to an eccentric axial load and initial curvature (crookedness).

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to investigate if there is a specific grammar for proper names,
in particular in the field of morphology, or more precisely, in nominal derivation.
We will concentrate on a class of derived nouns in a language with an
open corpus, i.e. Italian (from now on It.), and in a language with a closed
corpus, i.e. Ancient Greek (from now on AG). At stake here are the nouns
formed from proper names with the suffixes -ismo/‑ista in Italian and respectively
with ‑ismós/‑istḗs in AG. In both languages, these suffixes are highly
productive (see below Section 3). Furthermore, they combine not only with
proper names but also with common nouns, adjectives and other lexical categories.

Find full textAbstract:
Water and salts have long been the main factors of deterioration in building materials. This thesis studies the weathering resistance of limestone as a building material under salt crystallization conditions. Specimens selected were Alfas stone and Lecce stone, respectively from Greece and Italy. Through several analytical techniques (capillary absorption test, salt crystallization test, X-ray diffraction, Calcimetry, Ion chromatography and Mercury intrusion porosimetry), the properties of the stones were analyzed. The original characteristics, such as chemical composition, pore size and distribution were studied for revealing their roles on weathering behavior under salt crystallization. By comparing and studying these different properties of stones, we can better understand the importance of those characteristics on weathering results.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with poetic translations of Greek tragedy in twentieth-century Italian literature, aiming to intertwine the discourse on poetics with the practice of translation and, in particular, exploring specimens of translations from the Greek tragedies of two twentieth-century Italian authors: Camillo Sbarbaro (1888-1967) and Giovanna Bemporad (1923-2013). Firstly, I locate Sbarbaro's and Bemporad's poetic translations within the Italian cultural scene of their times and discuss the role of poet-translators within the wider debate on the reception of Greek tragedy. Secondly, I analyse Sbarbaro and Bemporad's translation methodologies. Thirdly, I trace the impact of translations on their poetic works, unveiling the profound influence of Greek tragedy on Sbarbaro's and Bemporad's poetic discourse. Through textual and stylistic analysis, archival research and examination of their collected letters, my research shows the fundamental role of the translations of Greek tragedy in these authors' poetic trajectories. While the thesis deals exclusively with Greek tragedy, I must note that the translations of Greek tragedies are but specific instances of the two poets' wider and systematic relationship with classical literature as a whole. In light of this, I consider the pedagogical commitment of these poets as being at the heart of their relationship with the Classics. Through an analysis of their experiences as teachers of Classics, which intensified while they translated Greek tragedy, I uncover an aspect of their thought on the relationship between the Classics and poetry which so far has remained unknown. My analysis of their translations of Greek tragedies reveals Sbarbaro's and Bemporad's intense negotiations with the Classics - shedding light on their poetics and asserting their key role in education.

Full textAbstract:
The current thesis presents the differential profiles of Italian and Greek dyslexic and typically developing children on a series of language tests, tapping both production and comprehension abilities. By highlighting the differential profiles of dyslexic children on a series of language tasks that include structures that have been found to be particularly vulnerable in Specific Language Impairment, the current thesis aims to assist the processes of differential diagnosis, to serve as a base for further investigation of the differences between the two disorders, as well as to contribute to the development of rehabilitation material. The tests that have been implemented focused on the production and comprehension of direct, indirect object clitics, definite articles and wh-questions through elicited production, sentence-picture matching and grammaticality judgment tasks. Moreover, an additional task on the comprehension of wh-questions through meta-syntactic facilitation was introduced.
Finally, the results obtained by Greek-speaking children with Specific Language Impairment are presented, again, with an emphasis on the different performance profiles between SLI and typically developing children, as well as on the potential differentiating patterns between typically developing, SLI and dyslexic children.

Meister, Felix Johannes. "Momentary immortality : Greek praise poetry and the rhetoric of the extraordinary." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2015. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:2a2e9801-b29e-485f-bb1d-2eda190de8e1.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis takes as its starting point current views on the relationship between man and god in Archaic and Classical Greek literature, according to which mortality and immortality are primarily temporal concepts and, therefore, mutually exclusive. This thesis aims to show that this mutual exclusivity between mortality and immortality is emphasised only in certain poetic genres, while others, namely those centred on extraordinary achievements or exceptional moments in the life of a mortal, can reduce the temporal notion of immortality and emphasise instead the happiness, success, and undisturbed existence that characterise divine life. Here, the paradox of momentary immortality emerges as something attainable to mortals in the poetic representation of certain occasions. The chapters of this thesis pursue such notions of momentary immortality in the wedding ceremony, as presented through wedding songs, in celebrations for athletic victory, as presented through the epinician, and at certain stages of the tragic plot. In the chapter on the wedding song, the discussion focuses on explicit comparisons between the beauty of bride and bridegroom and that of heroes or gods, and between their happiness and divine bliss. The chapter on the epinician analyses the parallelism between the achievement of victory and the exploits of mythical heroes, and argues for a parallelism between the victory celebration and immortalisation. Finally, the chapter on tragedy examines how characters are perceived as godlike because of their beauty, success, or power, and discusses how these perceptions are exploited by the tragedians for certain effects. By examining features of a rhetoric of praise, this thesis is not concerned with the beliefs or expectations of the author, the recipient of praise, or the surrounding milieu. It rather intends to elucidate how moments conceived of as extraordinary are communicated in poetry.

Foley, Ryan Alison. "'It's need, not greed' : needs and values at work in an Italian social cooperative." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2018. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:2ef8f87b-0cf1-472c-88a3-1638d2a7d6bc.
Full textAbstract:
Among the key issues that arise in research of cooperatives are their supposedly hybrid nature and how they are able to balance both social and economic goals. I contend that the concept of 'needs' has become an important differentiating factor for the cooperatives I studied in Emilia Romagna. Placing this concept centrally in an analysis of cooperative practice helps to reveal the interplay between various value systems, reaching beyond arguments of the degeneration of cooperatives or the reproduction of dominant models, which both assume a one-way flow of influence. The recent history of the cooperative movement in Italy shows that these institutions have developed along with changing conceptions of need, supported by broader social movements and value systems. The cooperative network is today of central importance, and seen as an egalitarian means to share ideals and drive local innovation. However, my research shows that the instrumentalisation of the concept of 'need' also naturalises certain aspects of capitalist practice and has consequences for the enactment of other values within the cooperative. For example, in one cooperative I examined, the focus on meeting the members' needs for work was important in justifying a decision to merge with another cooperative despite a decision-making process that was seen as less than entirely democratic. This orientation also justified the use of precarious labour, and the need to protect members' livelihoods helped to justify low pay for internships and municipal job placements, as opposed to furthering the cooperative values of equity and equality. While the cooperative workers desired an element of personal relations, this was sometimes seen to be at odds with the focus on production and the maintenance of jobs. The marketing of more ethical products with reference to their social added value highlighted the central role of individual consumer citizens in bringing about change, which also reinforced divisions within the cooperatives based on who was more or less able to make these choices. In conclusion, I argue that while 'needs', like 'added value', can unite social and economic concepts of value, this also naturalises certain aspects of capitalist practice, particularly in this case where employment emerges as the primary need to be met. This leads me to suggest that the focus on meeting needs, as opposed to focusing on achieving specific ideals such as democracy and equality, may not be as effective to create alternative practice.

Piantanida, Cecilia. "Classical lyricism in Italian and North American 20th-century poetry." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2013. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:4422c01a-ba88-4fe0-a21f-4804e4c610ce.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis defines ‘classical lyricism’ as any mode of appropriation of Greek and Latin monodic lyric whereby a poet may develop a wider discourse on poetry. Assuming classical lyricism as an internal category of enquiry, my thesis investigates the presence of Sappho and Catullus as lyric archetypes in Italian and North American poetry of the 20th century. The analysis concentrates on translations and appropriations of Sappho and Catullus in four case studies: Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912) and Salvatore Quasimodo (1901-1968) in Italy; Ezra Pound (1885-1972) and Anne Carson (b. 1950) in North America. I first trace the poetic reception of Sappho and Catullus in the oeuvres of the four authors separately. I define and evaluate the role of the respective appropriations within each author’s work and poetics. I then contextualise the four case studies within the Italian and North American literary histories. Finally, through the new outlook afforded by the comparative angle of this thesis, I uncover some of the hidden threads connecting the different types of classical lyricism transnationally. The thesis shows that the course of classical lyricism takes two opposite aesthetic directions in Italy and in North America. Moreover, despite the two aesthetic trajectories diverging, I demonstrate that the four poets’ appropriations of Sappho and Catullus share certain topical characteristics. Three out of four types of classical lyricism are defined by a preference for Sappho’s and Catullus’ lyrics which deal with marriage rituals and defloration, patterns of death and rebirth, and solar myths. They stand out as the epiphenomena of the poets’ interest in the anthropological foundations of the lyric, which is grounded in a philosophical function associated with poetry as a quest for knowledge. I therefore ultimately propose that ‘classical lyricism’ may be considered as an independent historical and interpretative category of the classical legacy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to uncover and explore a series of everyday experiences of migration, a phenomenon which can be both a monumental upheaval and an ordinary activity. The research for this study has been carried out in Leicester, a city recognised for its large and diverse migrant population, orientating around Polish, Greek-Cypriot and Italian immigrants, three relatively small but distinctive migrant groups. Based on evidence collected from 55 oral history/in-depth interviews and supplemented by other sources including the census, local newspapers and several pie-recorded interviews, four overlapping themes are considered. The first studies the migration process itself, highlighting the important contrast between voluntary and involuntary migration and examining the different memories and legacies of migration. While migration has been the pivotal experience in Polish life histories, for example, it has been notably less significant for the Italian and Greek-Cypriot interviewees. Secondly, the national, rather than ethnic, identities of the groups are analysed, demonstrating how national consciousness survives the upheaval of migration to continue through the recognition of national histories, traditional rituals and material culture, and the persistence of national myths and ambiguities. The third theme incorporates the different respondents' memories and experiences of their homelands, focusing especially on the transnational connections that are established with the national territory after migration. Subscriptions to national satellite television channels, for example, have become an important feature in homeland relationships in the past decade. Finally, different experiences of community life in Leicester are studied, considering how 'community' is projected in the interviews, and analysing the shared social and cultural norms and values that underpin community life. Using the individual testimonies, the study highlights the tensions felt between collective ideals and personal autonomy. Overall the thesis seeks to assert the continued importance of national identity in migrants' everyday lives, and the flexibility of collective constructs which allow each respondent to experience migration, nation and community individually.

Greece and Italy are two European countries being known for their breathtaking landscapes, the good climatic conditions, the huge historical and cultural past. For those reasons are both a favorite destination for vacation for every season. The combination of the geographical position and the variety of landscapes, the numerous cultural monuments as well as the variety of the services and tourist activities are parameters that led those two countries to have a big part in the tourism industry/market. High level of tourism in an area can result to positive impacts such as an economic growth and development. This work aims to examine the case study of South Italy and Greece, to question the families of factors such as demographic, social, economic, environmental and factors regarding the level of accessibility for those two countries in a regional and provincial level. In which degree those variables influence the touristic destination choices? Which are the similarities and differences that can result?
Finally this work intents to provide results helpful for the tourism management and the future planning policies.

Full textAbstract:
2012 - 2013Il lavoro si propone di indagare il livello di consapevolezza della necessità per le imprese di adottare un orientamento alla sostenibilità per creare un valore di marca sostenibile e tentare di rispondere all’interrogativo di base: come capitalizzare e includere l'orientamento alla sostenibilità nel valore del brand? Fornire così un valido strumento ai brand manager per orientarsi sul cammino della sostenibilità attraverso il ruolo strategico della comunicazione della sostenibilità, considerando anche i rischi che comporta (es. green washing) e indagata anche nella prospettiva del consumatore nel divario tra prestazione e percezione, il così detto Green Gap. Per verificare la tesi sostenuta si è fatto ricorso a uno studio empirico, di ricerca del tipo qualitativa, esplorativa e applicata con lo scopo di fornire risultati di diretto ausilio nelle decisioni di marketing. A tale scopo lo studio fa ricorso al metodo del campionamento. L’unità di analisi individuata per il campionamento è il settore delle acque minerali, e l’estensione è individuata nel territorio Italia. La scelta di tale contesto di rilevazione è guidata dal fatto che la sostenibilità d’impresa è di per sé consustanziale al business stesso di questo settore e anche perché si tratta di un settore del largo consumo e, dunque, utile ad una rilevazione di interesse che vuole individuare un trend nelle strategie di comunicazione aziendali. Il lavoro mira ad evidenziare le implicazioni manageriali legate ad un orientamento sostenibile di marca. Lo scopo è portare a conoscenza dei brand manager e dei direttori marketing della crescente necessità di adottare un approccio alla sostenibilità che pregni l’azienda in tutte le sue manifestazioni, superando la prospettiva soggettiva della responsabilità sociale, che ha solo un collegamento limitato con il business e che agisce sulla reputazione e puntare invece sulla innovazione sociale per creare valore economico attraverso la creazione di valore sociale e dunque valore condiviso, funzionale alla profittabilità e alla posizione competitiva dell’azienda. Il lavoro suggerisce, con la proposta di un modello di brand sostenibile, il passaggio dalla costruzione di Brand Equity (legata alla reputazione) a quella di Green Brand Equity (legata all’innovazione sociale) attraverso la comunicazione della sostenibilità, con riguardo ai rischi che questa comporta...

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat met en oeuvre une analyse morphofonctionnelle et historico-archéologique d’une productioncéramique indigène décorée inédite de l’âge du Fer provenant du site de l’Incoronata en Italie du Sud (Basilicate, commune de Pisticci).L’objet de cette enquête est multiple : par l’examen attentif des formes, décors et techniques, un catalogue complet de notrecorpus céramique a été constitué, accompagné d’un dense faisceau de comparaisons. Celles-ci appartiennent à un horizon historico-culturel sud-italien cohérent, resserré entre les vallées du Cavone et du Bradano, entre IX e et VIIe siècles av. J.-C.Le site de l’Incoronata est caractérisé par une période de fréquentation mixte : il accueille à partir du VII e siècle av. J.-C.une composante grecque, plus particulièrement des potiers, dans un établissement indigène éminent déjà caractérisé par une production et une consommation locales importantes des produits céramiques. La contextualisation des données a donc constitué un autre pôle fort de cette recherche. Les problématiques se sont naturellement orientées vers lacaractérisation des modalités d’interaction entre communautés indigènes et grecques, en cherchant des comparaisons dans les espaces – non-coloniaux – qui témoignent pourtant d’intenses relations entre les deux composantes. Bien conscient de la difficulté de manipuler le concept même d’identité, un travail de mise en perspective anthropologique, ethno-archéologique et historique a été initié.La possibilité atteinte de caractériser une production céramique indigène locale de l’âge du Fer dans toutes ses phasesd’élaboration permet, avec ce premier jalon et pour la première fois, de raisonner de manière renouvelée avec des donnéessolides sur le processus productif, sur l’évolution d’un répertoire formel et décoratif et l’impact de l’arrivée grecque sur tous ces aspects, et enfin sur le rôle et la diffusion d’une catégorie céramique spécifique, autorisant dans le même temps àréévaluer les modalités d’occupation du site de l’Incoronata et son rôle nodal dans la compréhension et l’analyse en senshistorico-anthropologique des relations culturelles qui ont caractérisé, le monde méditerranéen archaïqueThis doctoral thesis implements a morpho-functional and historical-archaeological analysis of an unpublished mattpaintedpottery production from the Iron Age site of Incoronata in Southern Italy (Basilicata, com. Pisticci).The subject of this inquiry is multiple: using a careful examination of the forms, decors and techniques, a completecatalog of our ceramical corpus has been constituted accompanied by a dense bundle of comparisons which belong toa coherent South-Italian historical-cultural horizon, tightened between the valleys of Cavone and Bradano, between 9th and 7th centuries BC.The site of the Incoronata is characterized by a period of mixed occupation. From the beginning of the 7th century BC, Incoronata welcomes a Greek component, more particularly potters, in an eminent indigenous establishment alreadycharacterized by a significant local production and consumption of ceramic products. Contextualization of data has thusconstituted another strong pole of this research. The problematics have naturally focused on the characterization ofthe modalities of interactions between indigenous and Greek communities, looking for analogies in non-colonial spaces that nevertheless show intense relations between the two components. Aware of the difficulty of manipulating the veryconcept of identity, some anthropological, ethnoarchaeological and historical perspectives have been initiated. The possibility of characterizing a local indigenous ceramic production of the Iron Age in all its stages of development,allows us to re-think, with this first milestone and for the first time, with solid data on the production process. The evolutionof a formal and decorative repertory and the impact of Greek arrival on all these aspects. The role and the diffusion of aspecific ceramic category could be approached, allowing at the same time to re-evaluate the modalities of occupation of the site of Incoronata and its nodal role in the understanding and the analysis in the historico-anthropological sense of the cultural relations which have characterized the archaic Mediterranean world

Full textAbstract:
The research project is devoted to the study of the evolution of domestic space in Southern Italy and Sicily, in the late classical to hellenistic period (from the middle of the 4th century to the middle of the 1st century BC), including both Magna Grecia and Italic sites. The analytic research is aimed at defining the peculiar characteristics of the domestic unit, providing a tentative reconstruction of the cultural models of reference. The research involves the houses examination in each site, taking into account the different historical period within the site, highlighting the presence of different ‘housing systems’. From a methodological point of view, an unavoidable reference in the study of the private house is the description of the Greek and Roman house in literary sources. Furthermore, the study encompasses the structural analysis, examinations of spatial and functional distribution, typology, and architectural language. The analysis takes into account the structural and functional modifications of the single unit as well as of the community as a whole, using such changes as clues to understanding how the domestic nucleus was perceived. The dissertation considers the housing structure as part of the surrounding environment and in relation to the urban context, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of the village’s development and organization.
The study shows that the examined houses present considerable typological and dimensional variations and are structured according to the complex socio-economic and cultural context. The vast majority of them derive from the Greek tradition. However, if we consider the development of a typical house over time, we can observe a series of structural changes that alter the primitive plan layout, introducing variations in the original template and, in some cases, in the dwelling’s extension. This change can be linked to the gradual process of Romanization of the Southern part of the Italian peninsula. That process, already underway around the end of the 3rd century BC, can be better observed between the end of the 2nd century and the beginning of the 1st century BC, when a clear commixture relation emerges between the formal standards of the Greek and Roman house.Il progetto di ricerca si propone di ricostruire lo sviluppo del sistema residenziale in Italia meridionale e in Sicilia in età tardo-classica ed ellenistica (fra la metà del IV secolo a.C. e la metà del I secolo a.C.), estendendosi sia ai centri magno greci che a quelli italici, in un arco cronologico compreso. La ricerca analitica è finalizzata alla determinazione delle caratteristiche specifiche delle singole unità domestiche, proponendo un tentativo di ricostruzione dei modelli culturali di riferimento. Da un punto di vista metodologico, lo studio promuove l’analisi delle singole attestazioni per sito e fase storica, evidenziano la presenza di sistemi abitativi diversificati. Per l’analisi di questi, premessa imprescindibile allo studio dell’edilizia privata è la descrizione della casa greca e romana fornita dalle fonti letterarie, utilizzate per comprendere i caratteri strutturali e funzionali e gli aspetti relativi alle attività quotidiane svolte al loro interno. Inoltre, l’esame delle peculiarità strutturali e del linguaggio architettonico in uso nelle singole abitazioni, condotto parallelamente alla valutazione della distribuzione e della destinazione d’uso degli spazi. Il riconoscimento di percorsi e blocchi funzionali tiene conto, inoltre, dell’eventuale realizzazione di modifiche strutturali e funzionali di singoli ambienti o di interi settori abitativi, elementi che possono significare un cambiamento nel modo di concepire il nucleo domestico. Infine, lo studio si pone come ulteriore obiettivo la contestualizzazione della struttura abitativa nell’ambiente esterno, soprattutto in relazione al suo inserimento all’interno di un impianto urbano, concorrendo alla comprensione del carattere e della strutturazione delle aree a destinazione residenziale nello spazio cittadino Dall’esame condotto si evince la presenza di sistemi abitativi diversificati, che presentano variazioni connesse allo sviluppo del contesto socio-economico e culturale. Si rileva, infatti, come la maggiore percentuale di abitazione afferisca ai modelli abitativi di tradizione greca. D’altra parte, durante l’arco di vita di gran parte delle abitazioni si colgono cambiamenti strutturali che alterano il primitivo assetto planimetrico, con la conseguente variazione dell’originario modello di riferimento e, in alcuni casi, dell’estensione delle superfici abitative. Il fenomeno trova una particolare incidenza in relazione al graduale processo di ‘romanizzazione’ del versante meridionale della penisola italiana Questo, partito intorno alla fine del III secolo a.C., produce più evidenti manifestazioni di cambiamento fra la fine del II e l’inizio del I secolo a.C., quando emergono chiari rapporti di commistione fra i canoni formali della casa greca e quella romana.

Full textAbstract:
To date there has been a broad range of research investigating both perfume use in the Mediterranean and the cultural development of south-east Italy. The use of perfume was clearly an important practice in the broader Mediterranean, however very little is known about its introduction to the indigenous Italians and its subsequent use. There has also been considerable theorising about the nature of the cross-cultural relationship between the Greeks and the indigenous Italians, but there is a need for archaeological studies to substantiate or refute these theories. This thesis therefore aims to make a relevant contribution through a synthesis of these areas of study by producing a preliminary investigation of the use of perfume vessels in south-east Italy. The assimilation of perfume use into indigenous Italian culture was a result of their contact with the Greek settlers in south-east Italy, however the ways in which perfume vessels were incorporated into indigenous Italian use have not been systematically studied. This thesis will examine the use of perfume vessels in indigenous Italian burials in the regions of Peucetia and Messapia and compare this use with that of the burials at the nearby Greek settlement of Metaponto. The material studied will consist of burials from the sixth to fourth centuries B.C., to enable an analysis of perfume use and social change over time. An analysis of the broad distribution of perfume vessels was undertaken, followed by a more detailed examination of the relationships between perfume vessels and specific burial features. An interpretation of the results given by these analyses proposes that the use of perfume vessels by indigenous Italians was closely connected to developments in their settlement centralisation and social structure, and became a well integrated aspect of burial ritual by the end of the fourth century B.C.

Full textAbstract:
Le XIe-XIIe siècles, ont été élaborés en quatre chapitres : l’histoire politique et militaire, montrant l’agitation multiculturelle de cette période, une période transitoire dans un contexte profondément gréco byzantin, la géographie humaine (Langue, populations, gestion administrative, recherche anthropologique des Normands sur le territoire italien, droit, diplômes, monnaie, sceaux, art normand) présente l’interdépendance des événements historiques avec les conditions humaines, la coexistence et l’interculturation des Normands avec la culture greco-byzantine, l’organisation ecclésiastique qui, après le concile de Melfi (1059), a mis les nouvelles infrastructures épiscopales pour l’imposition de la papauté au détriment de l’Eglise grecque, malgré ses résistances pour en finir dans une situation de cœxistence de deux rites religieux pour un certain temps. Enfin, l’organisation monastique, se montre un peu plus compliquée en raison du début des Ordres religieux occidentaux, soutenus par la papauté, s’intégrant dans les communautés italo grecques. Pourtant, la culture grecque a perduré, surtout dans le monachisme de l’Italie du sud, sans pour autant nier la floraison du monachisme latin, résultant de la politique monastique normande. Ensuite, la dynastie souabe a suivi, en démontrant que l’histoire multiculturelle de la région se cristallise par rapport à l’élément grec, donnant une préséance à l’élément occidental. Cette partie a également été étudiée aux niveaux politique, ecclésiastique, monastique, notaire, judiciaire, langagier .Enfin, la dynastie angevine (1266-1442) a restauré ce qu’on appelle une polyphonie européenne dans le territoire de l’Italie du sud, malgré la volonté des rois angevins d’imposer le modèle monarchique. Cette partie a été étudiée aux niveaux politique, ecclésiastique et monastique. Les pouvoirs étrangers ont dominé tout au long des siècles en contribuant ainsi dans une mosaïque culturelle telle que l’identité ou les éléments identitaires des communautés italo grecques ont pu coexister avec toutes les cultures dominantes, puisant toujours leurs propres origines depuis la période de la domination de l’empire byzantin. Malgré la présence des diverses migrations ethniques et culturelles sur place, l’élément gréco-byzantin comme culture s’est avérée plus déterminant de façon qu’il ait perdure dans le tempsThe XI-XII centuries were examined in four chapters: the political and military history, shows the multicultural agitation of this period, transitional for the Normans, the new foreign dynasty , within a context , deeply Greek Byzantine, the human geography ( language, populations, administrative geography, Italo-Greek identity, anthropological research of the Normans in the Italian territory, the law, diplomas, monetary, seals, Norman art), presents the interdependency of the historical events and human conditions, the coexistence and the interculturation of the Normans with the Greek Byzantine culture, the ecclesiastical organization, which, after the council of Melfi (1059) put the new Episcopal substructure to impose the papacy against the Greek Church, although her resistance and to end within a situation of coexistence for the two religious rites for a long time. Then, the monastic organization appears more complicated due to the beginning of the Latin monastic orders, supported from the Papacy, integrated in the Italo-Greek communities. Nevertheless, the Greek culture lasted, especially in the monarchism of southern Italy, without ignoring the development of the Latin monarchism, the result of the Norman monastic policy. Thereafter, the Hofenstaufen dynasty (1198-1266) followed, showing that the multicultural history of the region consolidates in relation with the Greek element, giving the priority to the western element. This part was equally examined through the political, ecclesiastical, monastic, notary, legal, language fields .Finally, the Angevin dynasty (1266-1442) restored the European polyphony in the territory of southern Italy, despite the willingness of the Angevin Kings to impose the monarchical model. This part was also studied in political, ecclesiastical and monastic fields. The foreign powers dominated over the centuries by contributing in a cultural mosaic such as the identity or the identity elements of the Italo-Greek communities could have coexisted with all the dominant cultures, drawing always from their own origins since the period of the domination of the Byzantine Empire. Despite the presence of various ethnic and cultural migrations on the spot, the Greek Byzantine element as a culture proved to be more determinative so that it persists over time

Full textAbstract:
The mirror appears frequently in funerary contexts in the Greek colonies Locri Epizefiri and Metaponto and this thesis endeavours to rebuild the contexts of these mirrors using the approach of contextual archaeology. To explore the mirror’s contemporary function and meaning within the burial record and to discern why mirrors appear within a funerary setting, a chain of contexts is followed from the archaeological material to iconographical analysis, to comparative archaeological data, widening the contextual circles step by step. In the first part, the appearance of the graves with mirrors in Locri Epiezefiri and Metaponto is examined. The result is then compared with the iconographical evidence and the comparative archaeological data. The thesis further examines the mirror’s female association and discusses how the colonies of Magna Graecia should be studied as a third culture in accordance with the middle ground. Based on the results from the analysis, the discussion argues for a connection between mirrors and the Orphic-Dionysiac-Pythagorean cult, especially pronounced in Magna Graecia during this period, but also possible ritualistic functions such as divination and the notion of “female knowledge”.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis compares the interaction of philosophy and literature in Plato and Lucretius. It argues that Plato influenced Lucretius directly, and that this connection increases the interest in comparing them. In the Introduction, I propose that a work of philosophical literature, such as the De Rerum Natura or a Platonic dialogue, cannot be fully understood or appreciated unless both the literary and the philosophical elements are taken into account. In Chapter 1, I examine the tradition of literature and philosophy in which Plato and Lucretius were writing. I argue that the historical evidence increases the likelihood that Lucretius read Plato. Through consideration of parallels between the DRN and the dialogues, I argue that Plato discernibly influenced the DRN. In Chapter 2, I extract a theory of philosophical literature from the Phaedrus, which prompts us to appreciate it as a work of literary art inspired by philosophical knowledge of the Forms. I then analyse Socrates’ ‘prelude’ at Republic IV.432 as an example of how the dialogue’s philosophical and literary teaching works in practice. In Chapters 3 and 4, I consider the treatment of natural philosophy in the Timaeus and DRN II. The ending of the Timaeus is arguably an Aristophanically inspired parody of the zoogonies of the early natural philosophers. This links it to other instances of parody in Plato’s dialogues. DRN II.333-380 involves an argument about atomic variety based on Epicurus, but also, through the image of the world ‘made by hand’, alludes polemically to the intelligently designed world of the Timaeus. Through an examination of Plato’s and Lucretius’ polemical adaptation of their predecessors, I argue that even the most seemingly technical passages of the DRN and the Timaeus still depend upon literary techniques for their full effect. The Conclusion reflects briefly on future paths of investigation.

Reconstruire les manifestations du sacré et les pratiques rituelles et/ou cultuelles de l'Italie méridionale et dela Sicile, au Xème-VIIème siècle av. J. Chr., est un objectif ambitieux parce que on doit aborder des aspectsimmatériels, liés à la spiritualité, pas facilement visibles dans l'évidence archéologique. Choisir, en plus, lapériode de la protohistoire représente une difficulté majeure puisque les sources littéraires sont presquetotalement absentes. L'analyse de la documentation archéologique, axée sur trois direction d'intervention -l'espace ainsi naturel qu'humain, les bâtiments et le mobilier retrouvés - a permis, par contre, d'identifier desmarqueurs cultuels, éléments qui se répètent avec persistance à travers les siècles. Le regard spécifique sur lecontexte est la clé interprétative utilisée pour étudier les trois aspects, avec un nouveau critère, qui n'est pluslié aux classes de la production artisanale, mais plutôt à leur fonctionnalité. La présence du rite et du culte aété détecté dans 166 sites de l'Italie méridionale, reconnus comme des lieux de culte or du rite (anaktora), etanalysée en comparaison avec les établissements et les contextes funéraires de la même période et de lamême aire géographique. Le résultat est une reconstruction du sacré qui vise à offrir un portrait des communautés grecques et indigènes vues dans la sphère du riteThe reconstruction of the sacred manifestations and of the ritual and/or cult practices in Southern Italy, Sicilyincluded, in the 9th-7th B.C., is an ambitious project, because it is necessary to approach insubstantialaspects, linked to the spirituality, non readable in the archaeological evidence. Choosing, furthermore, theproto-historical period reveals another /a bigger difficulty, since the literary sources are almost absent. Theanalysis of the archaeological documentation, conducted through three research guidelines- the space, bothnatural and human, the buildings and the findings- has created a new interpretative model based on thecultual markers. These are recurring elements, enduring in the centuries, related to the depositional pattern orthe presence of particular objects. The specific attention due to the context is the key factor of the research,which uses a new criterion for the findings analysis, not based on the traditional division of production classes, but on their function. The presence of the rite and of the cult has been detected in 166 sites, identified as cultual places or even ritual places (anaktora), and has been compared with settlements and funerary contexts of the same period and geographical area. The result is the reconstruction of the sacred aspect which aims at giving a portrait of Greek and Indigenous communities in the cult sphere

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude traite de la sculpture exécutée en pierre – marbre et calcaire – dans les cités grecques d’Italie du Sud : Caulonia, Crotone, Héraclée, Locres Épyzéphyrienne, Métaponte, Poséidonia, Rhégion, Sybaris et Tarente. Toutes les périodes grecques sont considérées entre l’apparition de la sculpture en pierre au VIème siècle jusqu’à la chute de Tarente, dernière cité italiote indépendante. La première partie présente la méthodologie adoptée et précise l’acception des termes liés à la recherche italiote. 128 fragments ou monuments ont été retenus et ont fait l’objet de notices détaillées dans le catalogue. Le corpus ainsi constitué a été contextualisé par lieu de provenance, lorsque ce dernier est connu, puis par cité. La statue trônante de déesse provenant de Tarente et conservée à Berlin constitue un cas emblématique de statuaire italiote et a fait l’objet d’une étude approfondie. Cette recherche doctorale a également permis de reconsidérer des questions techniques et stylistiques. S’il n’a pas été possible de déterminer des « écoles » stylistiques dans les cités italiotes (à l’exception peut-être de Tarente dès le IVème siècle), les acrolithes italiotes ont pu être classés selon trois catégories : les têtes entières, les têtes à section diagonale et les têtes à section verticale. Certaines thématiques, qui auraient mérité un traitement plus approfondi que ce travail ne le permettait, ont été abordées dans les annexes. Il s’agit de la sculpture funéraire tarentine, des ensembles de métopes sculptés du Sélé ainsi que des découvertes de sculptures en contexte italique, avec une attention plus particulière portée à l’ensemble provenant de GaragusoThis study discusses stone sculpture – marble and limestone – from the Greek cities of Southern Italy : Kaulonia, Kroton, Heraclea, Locri, Metaponto, Poseidonia, Rhegion, Sibari and Taranto. All the Greek periods are included : Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic, from the 6th century to 209, the year of the fall of Taranto, the last independent Italiot city in Magna Graecia. The first part of this study presents the methodology and the acceptation of the terms used in the research on italiot sculpture. A catalogue has been created, where all 128 selected artefacts are analysed. The selected corpus is analysed according to the site of provenance of the artefacts and, in a second step, according to the cities these sites depended from. An exhaustive and updated study of the seated goddess of Taranto, now in Berlin, which is emblematic of Italiot sculpture, constitutes an important part of the present research. A number of technical and stylistic questions are also reconsidered. Due to the small size of the corpus, it has not been possible to define different Italiot schools of sculptors. However, the Italiot acrolithes have been separated in three groups : those with complete heads, those whose heads are cut diagonally and those whose heads are cut vertically. Some topics which would have deserved a more in-depth examination than this allowed it, were summarised in the annexes : funerary Tarentine sculpture, metopes of the sanctuary on the Sele and the Greek sculptures discovered in Italic contexts, such as the miniature temple and goddess from Garaguso

Full textAbstract:
This thesis combines a philosophical interpretation of Epicurean attitudes to language with literary analysis of the language of DRN. Chapters 1-2 describe Epicurean attitudes to diachronic and synchronic linguistic phenomena. In the first chapter I claim that the Epicurean account of the first stage of the development of language involves pre-rational humans acting under a ‘strong’ form of compulsion. The analogies with which Lucretius describes this process were motivated by a structural similarity between the Epicurean accounts of phylogenetic and ontogenetic psychology. Chapter 2 explores the Epicurean account of word use and recognition, central to which are ‘conceptions’. These are attitudes which express propositions; they are not mental images. Προλήψεις, a special class of conception, are self-evidently true basic beliefs about how objects in the world are categorized which, alongside the non-doxastic criteria of perceptions and feelings, play a foundational role in enquiry. Chapter 3 offers a reconstruction of an Epicurean theory of metaphor. Metaphor, for Epicureans, involves the subordination of additional conceptions to words to create secondary meanings. Secondary meanings are to be understood by referring back to primary meanings. Accordingly, Lucretius’ use of metaphor regularly involves the juxtaposition in the text of primary and secondary uses of terms. An account of conceptual metaphor in DRN is given in which the various conceptual domains from which Lucretius draws his metaphorical language are mapped and explored. Chapter 4 presents a new argument against ‘atomological’ readings of Lucretius’ atoms/letters analogies. Lucretian implicit etymologies involve the illustration, via juxtaposition, of language change across time. This is fully in keeping with the Epicurean account of language development. Chapter 5 describes Lucretius’ reflections on and interactions with the Greek language. I suggest that the study of lexical Hellenisms in DRN must be sensitive to the distinction between lexical borrowing and linguistic code-switching. I then give an account of morphological calquing in the poem, presenting it as a significant but overlooked strategy for Lucretian vocabulary-formation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers an approach to the history of mythographical discourse through the figure of Theseus and his appearances in texts from England, Italy and France. Analysing a range of poetic, historical, and allegorical works that feature Theseus alongside their classical and contemporary intertexts, it is a study of the conceptions of Greco-Roman mythology prevalent in European literature from 1300-1600. Focusing on mythology’s pervasive presence as a background to medieval and early modern literary and intellectual culture, it draws attention to the fragmentary, fluid and polymorphous nature of mythology in relation to its use for different purposes in a wide range of texts. The first impact of this study is to draw attention to the distinction between mythology and mythography, as a means of focusing on the full range of interpretative processes associated with the ancient myths in their textual forms. Returning attention to the processes by which writers and readers came to know the Greco-Roman myths, it widens the commonly accepted critical definition of ‘mythography’ to include any writing of or on mythology, while restricting ‘mythology’ to its abstract sense, meaning a traditional collection of tales that exceeds any one text. This distinction allows the analyses of the study’s primary texts to display the full range of interpretative processes and possibilities involved in rewriting mythology, and to outline a spectrum of linked but distinctive mythographical genres that define those possibilities. Breaking down into two parts of three chapters each, the thesis examines Theseus’ appearances across these mythographical genres, first in the period from 1300 to the birth of print, and then from the birth of print up to 1600. Taking as its primary texts works by Giovanni Boccaccio, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Lydgate and William Shakespeare along with their classical intertexts, it situates each of them in regard to their multiple defining contexts. Paying close attention to the European traditions of commentary, translation and response to classical sources, it shows mythographical discourse as a vibrant aspect of medieval and early modern literary culture, equally embedded in classical traditions and contemporary traditions that transcended national and linguistic boundaries.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse doctorale constitue une enquête éminemment céramologique, prenant pour cadre historique le phénomène de la « protocolonisation » grecque en Italie méridionale, et plus particulièrement dans une région du littoral ionien. Elle prend en considération la céramique auparavant considérée et dite « commune », classe de matériel aux contours incertains et à la définition particulièrement fluctuante. En effet, contrairement à la production fine indigène décorée ou à celle produite localement par des migrants Grecs, dont les formes et les motifs décoratifs sont nettement identifiables, la céramique commune, qu’elle soit de production hellénique ou indigène, apparaît comme une classe relativement peu étudiée et fonctionnellement hétéroclite.Il s’agit ici d’étudier et d’approfondir les perspectives théoriques, conceptuelles et anthropologiques, autour de cette céramique caractérisée notamment par des critères techniques et esthétiques, à savoir une facture de moyenne voire de mauvaise qualité, des formes relativement simples et achromes, et une polyvalence théorique à définir ; et d’autre part de proposer un catalogue typochronologique et contextualisé du matériel en céramique fine achrome de l’Incoronata, excluant de facto la céramique a impasto et es très grands conteneurs.Il conviendra évidemment de multiplier les confrontations en s’intéressant d’une part, à tous les types de contextes, grecs, indigènes ou mixtes, fouillés dans le Métapontin et la Siritide, mais également en élargissant le cadre géographique de l’enquête à toute l’Italie méridionale, voire au-delàThis doctoral thesis constitutes an eminently ceramological investigation, within the historic background of the henomenon of the Greek «protocolonization» in Southern Italy, more particularly in the Ionian coast district. This survey takes into consideration the ceramic previously treated and said as «plain ware», class of material which outlines and definition are uncertain and particularly fluctuating. Indeed, contrary to the indigenous fine ware production or to the local greek production, among whom the forms and the ornamental motives are clearly recognizable, the common ceramic, whether it is of greek or indigenous production, appears as a class relatively little studied and functionally heterogeneous.Here we aim to study and to deepen the theoretical, abstract and anthropological perspectives, around this ceramic traditionally characterized by technical and esthetic criteria: namely a poor quality average, relatively simple forms and achromy, and a polyfonctionality to be defined; on the other hand we’ll try to propose a typo-chronological and contextualized catalog of the achromic ceramic material from Incoronata, excluding de facto the impasto class and the major containers.Obviously, it will be advisable to multiply the confrontations by being interested on one hand, to all the types of contexts, Greek, native or mixed, between the Metapontino and the Siritide, but also by widening the geographical frame to the Southern Italy and even beyond

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the ancient reception of the Categories of Aristotle, a work which served continuously, from late antiquity into the early modern period (Frede 1987), as the student’s introduction to philosophy. There had previously been no comprehensive study of the reception of the Categories during the age of the first philosophical commentaries (c. 80 BC to AD 220). In this study, I have collected, assigned, and analyzed the relevant fragments of commentary belonging to this period, including some that were previously undocumented or inexplicit in the source texts, and sought to establish and characterize the influence of the early commentators’ activity on the subsequent Peripatetic tradition. In particular, I trace the early evolution of criticism and defense of the text through competing accounts of its aim (skopos), which would ultimately lead Stoic and Platonic philosophers to a partial acceptance of the Categories and frame its role in the later Neo-Platonic curriculum.

Resumo: este trabalho consiste numa tradução da peça Antigone, do tragediógrafo italiano Vittorio Alfieri, escrita em 1776 em Florença, Itália. Esta tragédia revela inquietações artísticas e particularidades linguísticas que refletem o período que antecede o Risorgimento, tanto no âmbito político quanto no que se refere à cultura e ao idioma italiano. A presente dissertação apresenta também um perfil biográfico de Vittorio Alfieri, autor até o momento pouco conhecido no Brasil, a partir de estudo de sua autobiografia e de estudos publicados na Itália sobre sua obra e seu envolvimento com movimentos políticos que culminaram na Revolução Francesa
Abstract: this work consists on a translation of the play Antigone, by the Italian tragedy writer Vittorio Alfieri. The play was written in 1776 in Florence, Italy. This tragedy reveals artistic concerns and linguistic particularities that reflect the period of time that precedes the Risorgimento, both in a political extent as in where the Italian culture and language is concerned. The present dissertation presents also a biographic profile of Vittorio Alfieri, author until this moment little known in Brazil, based on the study of his autobiography and texts published in Italy about the author's work and involvement in political movements that led to the French Revolution

Full textAbstract:
Les séismes de type longue période (LP) sont aujourd’hui enregistrés sur la plupart des volcans dans le monde entier. Malgré cela, le mécanisme à leur source n’est encore que très peu compris. A l’heure actuelle les modèles proposés pour expliquer leur origine sont : 1) la résonance d’une fracture remplie de gaz ou de fluides excités par des instabilités dans l’écoulement des fluides ou par la rupture fragile du magma ; 2) la fracturation lente des sédiments peu consolidés à la surface des volcans, dans des conditions de transition entre le ductile et le fragile. L’outil le plus utilisé pour comprendre leur nature est aujourd’hui l’inversion du tenseur des moments. Au cours des dernières années, les inversions du tenseur des moments se concentraient principalement sur la compréhension du mécanisme physique à l’origine des séismes LP qui souvent supposaient des milieux géologiques très simples, voire homogènes. Des études récentes ont montré l’influence des sédiments peu consolidés à la surface des volcans sur la propagation des ondes à basse fréquence et en conséquence, sur l’inversion du tenseur des moments quand ils ne sont pas pris en compte dans le processus d’inversion. Le but de cette thèse est de mieux comprendre les processus physiques qui génèrent les séismes LP et de quantifier les incertitudes liées à leur interprétationLong-period (LP) seismic events are abundantly recorded during rest and unrest periods at many volcanoes worldwide. However, their source mechanism is still poorly understood. Models which have been proposed so far to explain their origin are: 1) the resonance of a fluid-filled cavity triggered by fluid instabilities or the brittle failure of magma; 2) slow-rupture earthquakes occurring in the low consolidated materials composing the shallow portion of the volcanic edifice. Nowadays the main tool used to get insights into their nature is moment tensor (MT) inversion. MT inversions carried out in the past years focused mainly on the understanding of the physical origin of LP events and often supposed a relative simple geological structure of the medium. Recent studies highlighted the strong influence of shallow unconsolidated materials on the retrieved MT solutions and the importance of considering geological inhomogeneity in the inversion process. The principal aim of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of the source processes that generate LP events and to quantify the uncertainties related to the MT inversion process

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse doctorale porte sur les lieux et les processus de fabrication de la céramique dans le Golfe de Tarente entre les VIIIe et VIe av. J.-C. Le sujet a été abordé par une analyse archéologique des vestiges des installations actuellementconnues. L’enquête prend pour cadre historique le phénomène « précolonial », au sein duquel il est possible d'évaluer les éventuels changements opérés dans l'artisanat potier au moment de l'arrivée de groupes grecs sur les côtes méridionales de l'Italie. Le cadre géographique choisi permet de proposer un modèle de fonctionnement des espaces productifs à l’âge du Fer.Dans ce contexte, le site de l'Incoronata trouve une place particulière en raison de l'important atelier de potiers qui y a étémis au jour, et qui couvre chronologiquement deux siècles d’occupation du site (VIIIe-VIIe s. av. J.-C.), caractérisé parune première phase oenôtre suivie d'une seconde à caractère « mixte », gréco-indigène.Ce travail reprend la documentation complète d'un site archéologique pour exposer une véritable méthodologie d'investigation des espaces artisanaux de l'âge du Fer et de l'époque archaïque, depuis les fouilles anciennes jusqu'à l'analyse contextuelle minutieuse des structures et de l'ensemble de leur mobilier. Ces deux derniers aspects ont toujours été considérés de manière indissociable. Cette analyse fine, à laquelle participent des méthodologies empruntées à d'autres champs disciplinaires – dont le protocole d'étude a parfois été « réinventé » –, permet de proposer une reconstitution de l'organisation topographique et fonctionnelle des ateliers et de restituer le processus de fabrication de la poterie. Elle suggère, en outre, une lecture partiellement nouvelle des modalités de contacts entre indigènes et Grecs le long de la côte ionienne de l'Italie du Sud, notamment à travers l’emploi de la notion de la circulation des artisansThis doctoral thesis deals with the sites and different stages of ceramic production in the Gulf of Taranto between the 8th and 6th centuries B.C. We propose an integrated analysis of the archaeological remains of workshops.The historical framework of this work relates to the « precolonial » phenomenon, which can exhibit possible changes inpottery craft at the time of the arrival of Greek groups on the southern coasts of Italy. Furthermore, we propose a model forthe spatial dynamics of production within this specific geographical framework during the Iron Age.This research focus on the important pottery workshop excavated in the Incoronata site, which is associated with multipleoccupations that cover two centuries of occupation (8th-7th B.C.), with a first Oinotrian phase and a second « mixed »Greco-indigenous cultural phase.This work represents a complete documentation of the site, including archaeological features and the associated artefacts,which is part the thorough methodology used to investigate craft spaces from both Iron Age and archaic period. We thereforepropose a spatial analysis of pottery production involving the reconstruction of topographical and functional aspects ofworkshop organization as well as technical characteristic that are part of the process of pottery production. Eventually, weconsider the mobility of craftsmen along the Ionian coast of southern Italy and advocate for new interpretations of culturalcontacts between indigenous natives and Greeks in the region

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this project is to account for the widespread reception of the epics of Homer and Virgil by American poets of the twentieth century. Since 1914, an unprecedented number of new poems interpreting the Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid have appeared in the United States. The vast majority of these modern versions are short, combining epic and lyric impulses in a dialectical form of genre that is shaped, I propose, by two cultural movements of the twentieth century: Modernism, and American humanism. Modernist poetics created a focus on the fragmentary and imagistic aspects of Homer and Virgil; and humanist philosophy sparked a unique trend of undergraduate literature survey courses in American colleges and universities, in which for the first time, in the mid-twentieth century, hundreds of thousands of students were exposed to the epics in translation, and with minimal historical contextualisation, prompting a clear opportunity for personal appropriation on a broad scale. These main matrices for the reception of epic in the United States in the twentieth century are set out in the introduction and first chapter of this thesis. In the five remaining chapters, I have identified secondary threads of historical influence, scrutinised alongside poems that developed in that context, including the rise of Freudian and related psychologies; the experience of modern warfare; American national politics; first- and second-wave feminism; and anxiety surrounding poetic belatedness. Although modern American versions of epic have been recognised in recent scholarship on the reception of Classics in twentieth-century poetry in English, no comprehensive account of the extent of the phenomenon has yet been attempted. The foundation of my arguments is a catalogue of almost 400 poems referring to Homer and Virgil, written by over 175 different American poets from 1914 to the present. Using a comparative methodology (after T. Ziolkowski, Virgil and the Moderns, 1993), and models of reception from German and English reception theory (including C. Martindale, Redeeming the Text, 1993), the thesis contributes to the areas of classical reception studies and American literary history, and provides a starting point for considering future steps in the evolution of the epic genre.

Full textAbstract:
L’étude du corps offre un angle d’approche privilégié pour appréhender les représentations théâtrales comiques de l’époque classique à Athènes et en Grande Grèce. Seule une analyse croisée des sources textuelles et iconographiques permet de faire toute la lumière sur la manière dont le corps comique était mis en scène, perçu et imaginé. Les conclusions de la thèse reposent en particulier sur la confrontation des comédies grecques du Ve et du IVe siècle av. J.-C. et de la céramique italiote à sujet comique, entre lesquelles elle établit un lien étroit. Le premier chapitre est consacré à la présentation des corpus et à leur mise en relation. Le deuxième décrit les aspects matériels du costume comique. Les troisième et quatrième portent sur la sémiologie du costume : sont d’abord étudiés les codes propres au genre, puis les éléments qui concourent à la caractérisation sociale et morale du personnage. Le cinquième et dernier chapitre traite de la fonction dramatique du geste comiqueAnalysis of the body provides an effective means of capturing comic performances in classical Athens and Magna Graecia. Textual and iconographic sources ought to be considered together to shed light upon the staging of the comic body as it was perceived and imagined. In particular, the conclusions of this work are based upon the comparison of Greek comedies from the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. and South-Italian vase-paintings of comic subjects. The first chapter presents the two corpuses and the questions raised by their comparison. Chapter two describes the material characteristics of the comic costume. The third and fourth chapters focus on the semiotics of the costume ; the signs of the genre are treated first, followed by a discussion of the social and moral characterization of the personages. The final chapter pertains to the dramatic function of the comic gesture

Full textAbstract:
The following work consists of a careful analysis of the translation of the Iliad by Homer prepared by Melchiorre Cesarotti. Caught amidst the dilemma of loyalty to the original and the beauty of translation, Cesarotti decided to compose two versions: one in blank verses and the other in prose. This work is therefore none other than a comparison between Cesarotti's version in poetry and the version in prose.The first part deals briefly with a few details on the criticism that Cesarotti's work raised.
The second part consists of the comparison work, which is subdivided in "Canti" (as Cesarotti's version in poetry) because the work proposes to compare the version in poetry to the version in prose and not vice-versa.
The last part examines the artistic value of Cesarotti's translations and the place they occupy in Europe in the eighteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Sia accademici che legislatori discutono sull'importanza di metodi di apprendimento e insegnamento innovativi per prevenire l'abbandono scolastico e preparare i futuri adulti ad affrontare contesti sociali sfavorevoli. Ecco perché dal 2006 il Parlamento europeo ha incoraggiato tutti i paesi membri a promuovere nella scuola le competenze chiave di cittadinanza e la metacognizione. Tuttavia, mancano studi specifici sulle lingue classiche nella scuola secondaria. L'obiettivo di questo studio è scoprire quali sono le percezioni degli studenti e degli insegnanti italiani e spagnoli riguardo all'apprendimento e all'insegnamento delle lingue classiche secondo la didattica per competenze. Utilizziamo uno studio di caso di tipo osservativo, con un disegno misto, parallelo, convergente, con 213 studenti e 47 insegnanti. Dal confronto tra i risultati dell'analisi quantitativa e qualitativa che si riferiscono alla metacognizione, comportamenti osservabili e opinioni degli studenti rafforzano l'idea che le concezioni di apprendimento degli studenti influenzano le loro strategie metacognitive. Si conferma anche che alcuni alunni hanno una certa percezione dell'utilità del Latino e del Greco, anche se chiedono uno strumento che possa aiutarli a diventare più consapevoli dello sviluppo delle competenze di cittadinanza attraverso questi studi. In particolare, viene evidenziato che gli studenti spagnoli enfatizzano maggiormente l'utilità dei classici in termini di abilità comunicative, mentre gli studenti italiani sottolineano maggiormente la competenza di "imparare ad imparare". Per quanto riguarda la metacognizione degli insegnanti di classici, si mostra che tali docenti sono abituati a riflettere sul processo di insegnamento e offrono interessanti suggerimenti per migliorare l'insegnamento dei classici.Both academics and legislators discuss the importance of innovative learning and teaching methods to prevent early school leaving and prepare future adults to face unfavorable social contexts. This is why since 2006 the European Parliament has encouraged all member countries to promote key citizenship competences and metacognition at school. However, specific studies on classical languages in secondary school are lacking. The aim of this study is to find out what the perceptions of Italian and Spanish students and teachers are regarding the learning and teaching of classical languages according to competences. We use an observational case study, with a mixed, parallel, convergent design, with 213 students and 47 teachers. By comparing the results of the quantitative and qualitative analysis that relate to metacognition, students 'observable behaviors and opinions reinforce the idea that students' learning conceptions influence their metacognitive strategies. It is also confirmed that some pupils have a certain perception of the usefulness of Latin and Greek, even if they ask for a tool that helps them become more aware of the development of key citizenship competences through these studies. In particular, it is highlighted that the Spanish students emphasize more the usefulness of the classics in terms of communication skills, while the Italian students emphasize more the competence of "learning to learn". As for the metacognition of teachers of classics, it is shown that these teachers are used to reflecting on the teaching process and offer interesting suggestions for improving the teaching of classics.

Bouali, Mickaël. "Sikeliôtai : réflexion sur l’ethnicité des hellénophones de Sicile." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020BOR30022.
Full textAbstract:
Dans un premier temps, cette étude interroge le processus qui mène à la formation d'une identité propre aux hellénophones de Sicile, les Sikeliôtai. En effet, alors même qu’il n’existe pas encore d’identité grecque globale, de multiples expéditions coloniales conduisent la Sicile à se peupler de groupes divers, dont le point commun le plus saillant est la maîtrise d'un dialecte grec. Trois siècles plus tard, Thucydide rapporte le discours prononcé par l’aristocrate syracusain Hermocrate au congrès de Géla. Celui-ci y affirme explicitement l’existence d’une identité propre aux Sikeliôtai, alors institué en un groupe uni. Cette thèse s’attache donc à retracer le chemin qui conduit à ce résultat à l'issue d'une analyse diachronique de l'identité sicéliote. Dans un second temps, cette réflexion poursuit l'étude de l'ethnicité des Sikeliôtai en questionnant l'articulation des diverses identités ethniques dont peuvent se revendiquer les différentes communautés qui peuplent une Sicile divisée. À ce titre, la prise en compte d’événements comme les interventions athéniennes de la fin du Vème siècle, le règne de puissantes dynasties de tyrans ou encore l’intrusion des puissances punique et romaine dans la région, est à même d'affiner notre perception du fait identitaire sicéliote. Enfin, cette thèse porte l’ambition de poursuivre la réflexion sur les outils conceptuels élaborés pour appréhender le fait identitaire dans les sociétés anciennesThis thesis initially questioned the process leading to the formation of an identity to Greek speakers of Sicily, the Sikeliotai. Even before there was an overall Greek identity, multiple colonial enterprises lead Sicily to be populated by a crowd from different backgrounds whose main common point was the mastery of a Greek dialect. Three centuries later, the speech Hermocrates in congress of Gela, which Thucydides echoed, explicitly affirmed the existence of a distinct identity to Sikeliotai composed then in a group. So this discussion is focused on the path that leads to this result after a diachronic analysis of the siciliot identity. In a second step, this thesis continues the study of ethnicity Sikeliotai questioning how works the various ethnic identities which can claim the diverse groups that inhabit a divided Sicily. As such, the consideration of major events like the Athenian expedition of 415, the reign of powerful Siciliot tyrants in the fifth and fourth centuries, numerous Carthaginian invasions or the Roman conquest of the island is able to refine our perception of siciliot identity fact. Finally, this thesis also proposes to continue discussions on the conceptual tools that identity studies through the review of key concepts such as ethnicity, applied to ancient societies

Full textAbstract:
The Sermo antequam iret in exilium and the Sermo cum iret in exsilium are two homilies allegedly pronounced by John Chrysostom in Constantinople at the end of summer 403, some time between the verdict of the Synod of the Oak and the day he left the city for his first exile. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate that a new critical edition of these texts is needed before any study of their literary and historical value can be conducted. Chapter one sketches the historical background to which the text of the homilies refers and a concise survey about previous scholarship on the homilies on the first exile, from the time of Montfaucon’s edition until our days. The problem of the authenticity occupies the last part of the chapter. Chapter two investigates the history of the texts and takes into account both the direct and indirect traditions. It discusses the existence of double recensions hitherto unknown and provides the prefatory material for the new critical edition of recensio α of Sermo antequam iret in exilium and of the Sermo cum iret in exsilium. Chapter three comprises the Greek editions of the two homilies, as well as a provisional edition of the Latin version of the Sermo antequam iret in exilium. Chapter four is divided into two parts, each presenting a philological commentary on the text of the new editions. Systematic analysis of all the most important variant readings is offered. The final chapter summarizes the new findings and assesses the validity of previous criteria used for discerning the authenticity of the homilies on the exile.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse s’inscrit dans le domaine de l’archéologie des colonies grecques de Sicile. Les axes de recherche privilégiés sont l’habitat, l’architecture domestique et l’urbanisme de ces villes, toutes situées en Sicile orientale. Le cadre chronologique s’étend sur les IVe et IIIe s. av. J.-C., entendus comme faisant partie de l’époque hellénistique sicilienne. Après une présentation des faits historiques les plus pertinents, la recherche se concentre sur le site de Mégara Hyblaea, l’une des premières colonies grecques de Sicile, dont on présente et analyse les vestiges inédits appartenant à l’époque retenue. Cette étude approfondie traite d’abord des éléments architecturaux, puis des pièces des maisons et enfin des plans des maisons ; les habitations identifiées sont ensuite replacées dans leur environnement urbain. Par ailleurs, chacun de ces thèmes est abordé de façon détaillée et critique à travers cinq autres sites : Camarine, Géla, Morgantina, Syracuse et Tyndaris. Cette démarche facilite les comparaisons et permet de situer l’exemple mégarien dans le contexte choisi. Enfin, d’autres études de cas, plus succinctes, portent sur des sites puniques et des sites indigènes afin d’élargir le point de vue à l’ensemble de la Sicile hellénistique. La synthèse de ces données est organisée en deux parties. La première dresse un état des lieux de la recherche sur l’habitat et l’urbanisme des cités grecques de Sicile orientale à l’époque hellénistique et présente en particulier les questions les plus débattues. Dans la deuxième partie, on propose un bilan des connaissances sur le sujet en intégrant les hypothèses et les avancées réalisées au cours de l’étudeThis thesis concerns the archaeology of the Greek colonies in Sicily. The main research focus is the domestic architecture and the urbanism of these cities, all located in Eastern Sicily. The time frame considered is the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE, during the Sicilian Hellenistic period.Following a presentation of the most relevant historical facts, the investigation focuses on the site of Megara Hyblaea, one of the first Greek colonies in Sicily; previously unpublished remains belonging to the period at issue are presented and analyzed. This in-depth study deals first with architectural elements, then with the rooms of houses and finally the house plans; identified habitations are thereafter set in their urban surrounding. Furthermore, each of these themes is tackled in a detailed and critical way through five other sites: Camarina, Gela, Morgantina, Syracuse and Tyndaris. This approach makes the comparisons easier and allows us to place the example of Megara in context. Finally, other more succinct case studies of Punic sites and indigenous sites widen the scope of this study to the whole of Hellenistic Sicily.The synthesis of this data is organized into two sections. The first part lays out the current state of research on housing and urbanism of the Greek cities in Eastern Sicily during the Hellenistic period and presents the most debated issues. In the second part, the author proposes conclusions to integrate the hypotheses and the breakthroughs arrived at in the course of this study

Full textAbstract:
La recherche a analysé la figure éclectique de Raffaele Gargiulo, marchand d'antiquités célèbre en Europe, collectionneur, personnage complexe et controversé de l'histoire du Musée de Naples, dans le monde des Antiquités napolitaines de la première moitié du XIXème siècle. À partir de sa collection d’objets provenant de la Grande-Grèce; l'une des plus riches du Musée de Naples, et en examinant en particulier les vases peints, nous avons analysé ses méthodes de travail ainsi que ses techniques de restauration, les matériaux qu’il a utilisés et les choix qu’il a faits pour reconstruire et comprendre les critères qui ont guidé la pratique de la restauration des vases du musée Royal Bourbon dans la première moitié du XIXème siècle. La recherche a analysé les événements historiques qui ont conduit le Musée Royal à acheter l’intégralité de la collection de Raffaele Gargiulo et, en particulier, sa collection de vases. Le travail effectué est accompagné de documents d'archives qui illustrent les longues négociations concernant l'achat des matériaux, commencé en 1852 et achevé en 1855 et renseignent sur les tendances et les choix effectués par le Musée Royal de Naples en étroite collaboration avec la Commission des Antiquités et des Beaux-Arts. L’enquête a permis d’en savoir plus sur le restaurateur-marchand qu’était R. Gargiulo et sur les relations qu’il entretenait avec les personnes impliquées dans ces affaires. En partant des sources bibliographiques, des anciens inventaires et des documents d’archives, nous avons identifié les vases de la collection Gargiulo (environ 481 vases) et tous les “vases Gargiulo" achetés par le Musée de Naples. Nous avons compilé le catalogue des vases, en les classant par type de céramique et en rédigeant une fiche pour chacun d’eux. À travers le catalogage des vases, qui a permis la reconstruction de la collection, nous avons cherché à identifier et à mettre en évidence les goûts du collectionneur R. Gargiulo mais aussi des personnes impliquées dans les choix (ministre, directeur du Musée, experts), qui ont déterminé un certain style pour les collections du Musée de NaplesThe research focuses on the eclectic figure of Raffaele Gargiulo, who was a dealer, an expert, a restorer, a collector, a controversial figure in the history of the Naples Museum and Neapolitan antiques market in the first half of the nineteenth century. Starting from his collection of antiquites, one of the richest coming from Magna Graecia and which arrived in the Naples Museum, we have primarily examined the vases and have tried to analyze the restoration methods, the materials used and the choices made to reconstruct the criteria that guided the practice of the vases restoration in the Royal Bourbon Museum in the first half of the nineteenth century. The research analyzes the historical events that led to the purchase, by the Museum, of Raffaele Gargiulo’s collection, focusing mainly on the study of the vases collection. The research, enriched by archival documentation aimed at illustrating the long negotiation in the acquisition of the objects, which began in 1852 and ended in 1855, has shown the judgements and the choices made by the Neapolitan Museum in cooperation with the Commissione di Antichità e Belle Arti. Furthermore, it has contributed to define the figure of the restorer-dealer Gargiulo and his relationship with the people interested in the deal. A combination of archival documentation, old inventories and surveys in the Museum’s stores has allowed us to identify the Gargiulo’s vases collection (about 481 vases) and all the "Gargiulo’s vases" in the Museum. The vases catalogue has been created, in order to classify them according to type of ceramic, with an individual file for each vase. Thanks to the catalogue, which has aimed to the reconstruction of the collection, we have been able to highlight the aspects related to the criteria and to the taste of the collector Gargiulo and of the figures involved (Minister, Director of the Museum, experts, etc.). They have all contributed to the enrichment of the collections of the Naples Museum through the variety of artifacts and provenance from different locations in the Naples Kingdom.The research has also investigated the figure of the restorer Gargiulo, his "career" and his activities at the «Officina dei Vasi Italo-greci» of the Naples Museum. The restoration methods have been analyzed on some vases that still preserve the ancient interventions, focusing on a comparative study between old photos and archival documentation
La ricerca ha analizzato l'eclettica figura di Raffaele Gargiulo, commerciante, abile restauratore, collezionista, figura controversa nella storia del Museo di Napoli e dell’antiquaria napoletana nella prima metà del XIX secolo. Partendo dalla sua collezione, una delle raccolte più ricche di materiali di provenienza magnogreca mai giunte nel Museo di Napoli, esaminando in particolare i vasi, si è cercato poi di analizzare i metodi di restauro, i materiali adoperati e le scelte attuate per ricostruire e comprendere i criteri che guidarono la pratica del restauro dei vasi del Museo Borbonico nella prima metà dell'Ottocento. La ricerca ha analizzato le vicende che hanno portato all’acquisizione da parte del Museo Borbonico della collezione di Gargiulo nella sua totalità e, in particolare, della collezione vascolare. Il lavoro, corredato da documenti archivistici volti ad illustrare la lunga trattativa nell'acquisizione dei materiali, iniziata nel 1852 e conclusa nel 1855, ha messo in evidenza le valutazioni, le tendenze e le scelte operate a Napoli presso il Museo in stretto rapporto con la Commissione di Antichità e Belle Arti e ha contribuito a delineare la figura del restauratore-commerciante Gargiulo e il suo rapporto con le figure che, più o meno appassionatamente, si interessarono alla vicenda.Sono stati individuati, sulla base delle fonti, degli antichi inventari e dei documenti archivistici, i vasi della collezione Gargiulo (481 vasi ca.) e tutti i “vasi Gargiulo” immessi nel Museo. Si è redatto il catalogo dei vasi, diviso per classi ceramiche e con la redazione di singole schede per ogni vaso. Attraverso il catalogo e quindi la ricostituzione della collezione, si sono potute individuare, nella sua varietà di classi ceramiche e di provenienze, gli aspetti relativi ai criteri e al gusto di Gargiulo e delle figure coinvolte (Ministro, Direttore del Museo, esperti, etc.) che hanno determinato anche una scelta di gusto e di rappresentatività per le collezioni del Museo di Napoli. La ricerca ha anche preso in esame la figura del restauratore Gargiulo, la sua “carriera” e la sua attività presso «l’Officina dei Vasi Italo-greci» del Museo di Napoli. Si sono esaminati i metodi di restauro su alcuni vasi che ancora conservano gli interventi antichi, anche attraverso uno studio comparativo tra le foto antiche e i documenti di archivio

Full textAbstract:
This thesis places Chaucer within the tradition of philosophical poetry that begins in Plato and extends through classical and medieval Latin culture. In this Platonic tradition, poetry is a self-reflexive epistemological practice that interrogates the conditions of art in general. As such, poetry as metapoetics takes itself as its own object of inquiry in order to reinforce and generate its own definitions without regard to extrinsic considerations. It attempts to create a poetic-knowledge proper instead of one that is dependant on other modes for meaning. The particular manner in which this is expressed is according to the idea of the loss of the Golden Age. In the Augustinian context of Chaucer’s poetry, language, in its literal and historical signifying functions is an effect of the noetic fall and a deformation of an earlier symbolism. The Chaucerian poems this thesis considers concern themselves with the solution to a historical literary lament for language’s fall, a solution that suggests that the instability in language can be overcome with reference to what has been lost in language. The chapters are organized to reflect the medieval Neoplatonic ascensus. The first chapter concerns the Pardoner’s Old Man and his relationship to the literary history of Tithonus in which the renewing of youth is ironically promoted in order to perpetually delay eternity and make the current world co-eternal to the coming world. In the Miller’s Tale, more aggressive narrative strategies deploy the machinery of atheism in order to make a god-less universe the sufficient grounds for the transformation of a fallen and contingent world into the only world whatsoever. The Manciple’s Tale’s opposite strategy leaves the world intact in its current state and instead makes divine beings human. Phoebus expatriates to earth and attempts to co-mingle it with heaven in order to unify art and history into a single monistic experience. Finally, the Nun’s Priest’s Tale acts as ars poetica for the entire Chaucerian Performance and undercuts the naturalistic strategies of the first three poems by a long experiment in the philosophical conflict between art and history. By imagining art and history as epistemologically antagonistic it attempts to subdue in a definitive manner poetic strategies that would imagine human history as the necessary knowledge-condition for poetic language.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a fresh investigation of a collection of Roman imperial biographies conventionally known as the 'Historia Augusta'. The thesis supports the authenticity of the texts included in this corpus, in particular the claims they make about their dates, authorship, and scope, through philological, literary, prosopographical, and historical arguments. It shows that this corpus of texts, if the main conclusions are accepted, potentially improves our understanding of the tetrarchic-Constantinian era. It also explores the wider implications for the historiography of the fourth century; the transmission and formation of multi-author corpora in antiquity and the middle ages. It also suggests that the canon of Latin imperial biographies be widened. The thesis has two parts. Part I explores the actual state of the corpus, its textual transmission, and relation to other texts. It shows that the ancient and medieval paratexts presented the corpus as a collection of imperial biographies. The paratexts are compatible with the authorial statements in the main text. It then explores the corpus' medieval transmission, and the interest medieval scholars had in such texts. This part suggests that the corpus’s current state explains well the inconsistencies found in it. Finally, it shows that words and phrases, once thought peculiar to the corpus and the holy grail of the forgery argument, are intertextual links to earlier texts. Part II explores chronological statements and historical episodes relevant to the Diocletianic-Constantinan period. It establishes the actual dates of each author, and suggests that the confusion found in these biographies is similar to that of other contemporaries. The few apostrophes are shown to be authentic, and the historical and prosopographical passages are shown to represent, and improve our understanding of, the zeitgeist and history of the period. The final conclusion weaves the various arguments together, and emphasises the authenticity and significance of the corpus' texts. It suggests separating the composition of the texts from the disinterested formation of the corpus as a whole, as part of a new hypothesis and further lines of enquiry.
