Facendo riferimento alla recente pubblicazione di una raccolta di studi sulla tolleranza dall'epoca moderna ai nostri giorni (Tracing the Path of Tolerance), si discute della validità di nozione di tolleranza e delle sue implicazioni etiche e politiche nella società multiculturale contemporanea, in cui la questione della tolleranza è stata spesso evocata in relazione agli attacchi terroristici di matrice integralista o ai massicci sbarchi nel Mediterraneo. Nel corso del saggio vengono riconosciuti molteplici limiti di questo concetto, naturalmente debole, e si propone di attuare, nei confronti dello "straniero", una strategia differente, basata sul riconoscimento di un'uguaglianza di diritti attraverso la

International audience ; Present Italian studies on Africa go beyond regional and disciplinary divides of the past. The trend is towards a positive transgression of previous boundaries, and scholars have shifted attention from the disciplinary approach to the transdisciplinaryand inter-disciplinary research. However, elements and trends of the past still influence the relationship between Berber literary studies and African literary studies in Italy. This paper offers a first reflection on the long-term relationships between Africanist studies and studies on Berber literature by taking into account conjunctures and disjunctures in the complex construction of the geographical and cultural notions of (and divide between) 'Africa' and 'North Africa'.The aim is to understand specificity and continuity of the relationship betweenBerber studies and Africanist studies in Italy when compared to international studies.Looking at the Italian studies of Berber literature, one finds a strong influence of the linguistic and philological approaches. Moreover, one recognizes the tendency of the studies to look 'East' rather than 'South' in establishing their cultural and political framework of reference. On the other hand, studies that give attention to new developments in Berber written literature spring usually from African 'post-colonial' literary studies. However, the situation is also evolving in the specific field of Italian Berber studies.

The volume contains the documents of the study day held in Florence on the 4th October 2012 and presents the contributions of nine young scholars of proven competence, belonging to different Italian universities. The multifaceted Greek poetic production of the post-Hellenistic age is investigated through its literary genres and the specific issues it poses: mythological-narrative and didactic epic, theological oracles, pagan and Christian hymnography, an epigram, survival of the poetic expressive code in the prose of the early Byzantine age. The essays are different in perspective - critical-textual, exegetical, historical-literary - but are united by a solid philological basis; moreover, each of them offers innovative ideas that make the volume of great interest for the international scientific community.

Almost a decade has passed since the outbreak of the economic crisis; from its original nucleus, its effects have quickly affected the social and geopolitical fields. Such wide impact and its complex implications make the crisis an object susceptible of multiple readings. The particular aim of the studies collected in this volume is to explore the impact of the crisis on law, culture and society, in order to test the depth of the problem, by comparing the analytical perspectives obtainable from legal and human sciences. The book focuses on three main issues: the crisis as a social object, in order to consider the crisis in terms of its attributing force; the problem of democracy, which is becoming an increasingly central question now, as the changes imposed by the crisis have begun to settle down; the interdisciplinary challenge that, in time of crisis, questions paradigms of knowledge, competences and methods, in order to enable an heuristic dialogue between human, social and legal sciences. ; Introduction / Massimo Meccarelli (pp. 9-12). -- The Crisis as a Social Object : -- Narrating the Crisis: Fictions of Finance in Contemporary British Novels / Silvana Colella (pp. 15-37). -- Social Rights in Crisis: Any Role for the Court of Justice of the EU? / Francesco Costamagna (pp. 39-64). -- Ripensare la nazione ottocentesca.

My paradigms in this respect were Lady Anne Clifford and Alice Anne Thornton. They produced texts that have not even been mentioned or considered for centuries, but that have recently been partially rediscovered and appreciated by critics. My intent was to show how cultural factors and ideologies of the time influenced literary production, and to analyse the reasons that led these authors and their texts, first to oblivion, and later to recovery and canonization. When attempting to give a coherent answer to these questions, I kept in mind the background of Renaissance cultural memory and ideology, with particular regard to notions of femininity. Women writers are "mothers of the text", creators of new horizons, expert connoisseurs of the ideologies of their time, but also lonely, isolated, subjected women, ready to record their memories in voices that try to rise above a thousand other voices. ; The reasons that led women to overcome the injunction against cultural expression, including autobiography are one of the most relevant topics of my thesis. We know that many female characters were marginalized, if not made virtually invisible in many cultures and ideologies. That's why I tried to unveil the "counter" itinerary of women's writing from oblivion to canonization. ; English writers then began to deal with secular autobiography in the seventeenth century. Though excluded from the political scene and from public social life, Early-modern women writers seemed to be able to add something new and significant to the memorials and autobiographies of their own contemporary authors. When a woman wanted to be considered a member of a community whose experience was worthy of memory, she was confined by her own culture and family situation in the role of daughter, wife and mother, and she was seen almost exclusively as the subject of stories of religious experience, visions, trances, ecstasies. However, in the late seventeenth century, autobiography began to depart from an exclusively religious background and from the narrative account of the lives of men, and women began not only to record events related to male lives, but also to explore their identity and their own experiences in autobiographical form. Autobiography acquired the modern meaning of personal, introspective, secular writing, and, suddenly, the texts written by daughters, mothers and wives began to be recognized as real contributions to a genre in constant evolution. ; This doctoral thesis deals with the problem of canonisation and/or exclusion of women's writings from the literary canon of the English Renaissance. More broadly, it deals with issues of memory and cultural transmission. The first part of the thesis focuses on memory in different disciplines and on studies of memory in the contemporary critical arena. I tried to give an overview of the most recent progress in this field of study. The following chapters deal with issues of oblivion and recognition (up to the canonisation) of English women's writers in the Renaissance.

Il contributo prende le mosse da un dibattito recente sul tema di una presunta egemonia "giuridica" tedesca in Europa e analizza le premesse culturali e intellettuali del concetto di egemonia, con particolare riferimento al pensiero di Antonio Gramsci e a quello di Heinrich Triepel. Dopo un'introduzione in cui si evidenzia l'interesse per questo tema anche nell'ambito degli studi comparativi (par. 1), viene esaminata la concezione gramsciana di egemonia, in relazione all'idea di stato "allargato" e alla visione del diritto proprie dell'autore sardo (par. 2). Si approfondisce poi la tensione, interna ai Quaderni del carcere, tra cosmopolitismo e nazionale-popolare (par. 2.1). In seguito si indaga il metodo giuridico triepeliano, antipositivistico ma ben radicato nella tradizione statualistica tedesca (par. 3). Segue un esame del suo concetto di egemonia, con particolare riguardo alle relazioni interstatali (par. 3.1). Le conclusioni (par. 4) sottolineano i punti di contatto ma anche le differenze tra i due autori, sul piano metodologico ma anche politico. Sviluppano poi alcune considerazioni relative al modo in cui il loro pensiero è stato più o meno presente nel dibattito sull'egemonia "giuridica" tedesca, mostrando come l'influenza di Triepel sia stata prevalente, ma anche come difficilmente si possa articolare un discorso sull'egemonia isolando il piano giuridico da quello politico e socio-economico. ; The essay takes inspiration from a recent debate on an alleged German "legal" hegemony in Europe and analyses the cultural and intellectual premises of the concept of hegemony, with special attention to the thought of Antonio Gramsci and Heinrich Triepel. In the introduction (par. 1), the relevance of the issue for comparative studies is shown. The following part examines the Gramscian concept of hegemony, with reference to his idea of an "enlarged" state and to his perspective on the law (par. 2). The tension between cosmopolitanism and the national-popular in the Prison Notebooks is then explored (par. 2.1). As for Triepel, his legal method is studied, which appears antipositivist but deep rooted in the German state tradition (par. 3). Also, his concept of hegemony is investigated, with a particular focus on inter-state relations (par. 3.1). In the conclusion (par. 4), commonalities and differences between the two authors are outlined, both from a methodological and from a political point of view. Furthermore, some considerations are developed concerning how their thought has been more or less present in the current debate on the German "legal" hegemony. It is explained that Triepel's influence has been prevalent, but also that a discourse on hegemony can hardly be articulated separating the legal sphere from the political and socio-economic ones.

Il lavoro propone una riflessione sui risultati degli studi che, per la valutazione degli effetti degli incentivi pubblici all'innovazione, fanno riferimento al concetto di addizionalità. Si mette in luce come recentemente l'applicazione delle metodologie controfattuali abbia avuto uno sviluppo significativo, grazie anche allo stimolo dell'Unione Europa che ne richiede l'applicazione nelle analisi di impatto dei finanziamenti europei. Si considerano poi alcuni sviluppi dell'analisi sugli effetti della collaborazione, da sempre al centro delle politiche per l'innovazione, mettendo in luce, in particolare le potenzialità in questo campo del ricorso alla analisi delle reti. ; The paper presents a synthesis of the results of the studies on the effects of public incentives for innovation, referring to the notion of additionality. We highlight how recently the use of the counterfactual methods has had a significant spur prompted by the European Union policy asking for the application of such methods when evaluating the impact of European funds made available to regional authorities.Then we focus on the developments of the effects of incentives targeting cooperation for innovation, pointing, in particular, to the potential of complementing the counterfactual approach with network analysis tools.
