Nei variegati eserciti alleati che presero parte alla Seconda guerra mondiale contro le potenze dell'Asse vi furono combattenti che avevano un'origine italiana, erano cioè figli di emigranti partiti dall'Italia fra Otto e Novecento. Centinaia di migliaia furono gli italoamericani presenti nelle forze armate statunitensi, ma vi erano anche italobritannici, italocanadesi, italoaustraliani e italobrasiliani che sostennero lo sforzo bellico dei rispettivi paesi. Presenti in tutti i teatri di guerra, questi lottarono anche in Italia, paese che molti conoscevano solo attraverso i racconti dei genitori. La mostra ricostruisce una storia affascinante e poco conosciuta, raccontando le vicende di uomini che contribuirono alla vittoria degli Alleati. ; Combatants of Italian descent were present in the various Allied armies that took part in World War II against the Axis Powers. They were mostly sons of emigrants who had left Italy between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Hundreds of thousands were Italian Americans serving in the U.S. military, but British Italians, Italian Canadians, Italian Australians, and Italian Brazilians also contributed to the war efforts of their countries. Being present in all theaters of the war, they also fought in Italy, a country many knew only through stories from their parents. The exhibition reconstructs this fascinating and lesser known story by recounting the affairs of these men who contributed to the Allied victory.

Il cambiamento climatico è di certo il maggior problema del secolo. Politiche coraggiose di rinnovamento energetico verso fonti rinnovabili devono essere attuate a livello mondiale il più velocemente possibile. In particolare, per quanto riguarda la tecnologia fotovoltaica, sorgono alcune gravi sfide, legate alla disponibilità e ai costi delle materie prime e, allo stesso tempo, alla crescente richiesta di energia pulita. Per questi motivi, un grande numero di pubblicazioni scientifiche è oggi dedicato a trovare materiali alternativi applicabili nelle tecnologie preesistenti. Tra queste, le celle solari a film sottile (CSFS) richiedono uno studio accurato su nuove soluzioni per ogni strato costitutivo al fine di migliorare significativamente le prestazioni. L'obiettivo di questo lavoro è quello di esplorare possibili materiali e processi di deposizione modifiche a CEFS a base di calcogenuri. L'architettura di partenza è composta da un materiale di supporto come vetro; un substrato metallico o composto da ossidi conduttivi (OC); la giunzione p-n (parte principale della cella) composta da strato assorbitore e buffer di CdS e due strati di contatto in ZnO non drogato e drogato con Al. Tre approcci principali sono stati investigati: [1] Ingegnerizzazione di substrati di back contact per migliorare le prestazioni e ampliare le aree attive per l'applicazione delle celle solari bifacciali; [2] Studio dei parametri di deposizione mediante tecnica di RF-sputtering per la crescita orientata di uno strato assorbente alternativo (Sb2S3); [3] Sviluppo di metodologie di deposizione e lavorazione a basso costo, ecologiche e scalabili per la realizzazione di dispositivi solari innovativi basati su vernici/inchiostri CuInS2 (CIS) ottenuti tramite macinazione a sfere ad alta energia. [1] Una cella bifacciale, grazie ai suoi due contatti trasparenti, può raccogliere sia l'albedo che la luce diretta. Rappresenta una soluzione intelligente per migliorare le prestazioni del fotovoltaico, limitando allo stesso tempo la quantità di ...

In this paper, after a brief introduction of Towazugatari (A tale no one asked for, 1306), I focus on a particular scene of this work describing, an unusual kemari game played by a group of young ladies in waiting of the abdicated Emperor GoFukakusa (1243–1304). This scene very skillfully provides a picture of the world of politics in the Kamakura period (1185–1333), when using sex and gender to achieve political goals was a widely acknowledged social standard. Starting from the description of the kemari game, I analyze the role of ladies in waiting, the sexual culture at court, and the personal experience of Lady Nijō, whose sexuality was an exchange commodity among the men and even used as a gift. Her memoir, written in retrospect when she became a nun, presents the dramatic story of a woman whose life took a particular direction because of the dominant roles in the patriarcal society, where she was expected to obey the will of her father and his surrogate, GoFukakusa.

The study focuses on the nature and discipline of administrative liability derived from crimes committed by legal entities in the Vatican system, in compliance with the commitments assumed by the Holy See on the occasion of its Monetary Agreement with the European Union (2010) for the fight against financial malfeasance at an international level. The situation is examined in its various aspects, from the particular attribution criteria to the scope of legislative application to its sanctioning protocol, coming to the conclusion that its incidence is limited in the Vatican order due to its particular characteristics as a small state devoid of a free market and private entities running financial operations. Finally, the author focuses on the argument that the introduction of this institution in the Vatican legal system would mark a reaffirmation of criminal responsibility of legal entities in the canonical system, making some critical observations and placing the institution in the context of possible signs of the principle of canonization of civil laws (can. 22, CIC). ; El estudio se centra en la naturaleza y disciplina de la responsabilidad administrativa derivada de delito de personas jurídicas en el ordenamiento vaticano, donde esta institución se introdujo en cumplimiento de los compromisos asumidos por la Santa Sede mediante el Convenio Monetario con la Unión Europea (2010) para la lucha contra los delitos económicos a nivel internacional. Se examina la institución en sus diversos aspectos, desde los criterios particulares de atribución al ámbito de aplicación de la legislación hasta su aparato sancionador, concluyendo en el sentido de su reducida incidencia en el ordenamiento vaticano debido a las peculiares características del pequeño Estado, desprovisto de un mercado libre y de entidades privadas titulares de empresas económicas. Por último, el autor se detiene en la tesis que ve en la introducción de esta institución en el ordenamiento vaticano una reafirmación de la responsabilidad penal de las personas ...

Il 22 dicembre 1933, il direttore del Credito Municipale di Bayonne, Gustave Tissier, venne arrestato per frode e messa in circolazione di buoni falsi. Poco dopo, si scopre che il vero ideatore e coordinatore della truffa era Serge Alexandre Stavisky, un personaggio, il quale era sfuggito diverse volte alla giustizia. Aveva organizzato questa truffa secondo uno schema Ponzi, riuscendo a ricavare più di 200 milioni di franchi dall'istituzione di Credito municipale di Bayonne, con la complicità del sindaco della città, Joseph Garat. Questa faccenda generò uno scandalo, l'ultimo e il più clamoroso del suo genere, comunemente chiamato L'Affaire Stavisky, il quale causò delle perturbazioni politiche e fece cadere il governo di Camille Chautemps.

This essay analyses Thomas Ostermeier's Qui a tué mon père, based on the autobiographical novel by Édouard Louis and staged at the Schaubühne in Berlin on 7 October 2021. Auto- biographical novel, sociological-political essay, pamphlet, play, Qui a tué mon père is also a monologue in which the author accuses the policies of oppression of the weaker social clas- ses, carried out by the French government, responsible for having exposed his father's body to an untimely death. The crucial idea that supports Ostermeier's staging is that the author of the novel is the leading actor of the performance. Édouard Louis plays Édouard Louis. Considering this directorial choice, the character/actor/person relationship determines a particular regime of interpretation in the connections between narration, performance and reality, which allows us to investigate not only the performative quality of autobiographi- cal writing, but also to identify, in this particular form of "sociological laboratory" that is Ostermeier's theatre, a new perspective of political theatre, starting from a process of dramatization of the self. ; This essay analyses Thomas Ostermeier's Qui a tué mon père, based on the autobiographical novel by Édouard Louis and staged at the Schaubühne in Berlin on 7 October 2021.

Il volume raccoglie alcuni dei contributi di quella sesta edizio- ne dei Dialoghi sull'Europa. In fondo, Dialoghi sull'Europa era nata proprio dalla volontà di orire uno spazio dove provare a lavorare in comune e sottrarre all'isolamento perdurante. Dal 22 al 26 marzo 2021, pur costretto ognuno a casa propria dalla recrudescenza del Covid, dialogare d'Europa ha collegato tutti i partecipanti in un dia- logo collettivo ben più intenso della virtualità a cui si era obbligati. Grazie alla generosa partecipazione di intellettuali, studiosi, orga- nizzazioni e istituzioni italiane e internazionali e alla disponibilità di ascoltatori comprensivi Dialoghi ha svolto un'azione preziosa di grande rilievo civico e politico federando solitudini, mettendo in comune – come ha suggerito David Quammen – la consapevolezza di essere «solo un altro ospite in questo pianeta». Inevitabilmente, i saggi qui presentati non hanno potuto tener conto dell'aacciarsi della guerra in Ucraina, sono !gli di un tempo preciso. Ma conser- vano, questo almeno l'auspicio, tutta la loro importanza.

A funerary inscription found at Ephesus records the cursus of a certain Menodorus, a fresh Roman citizen inscribed in the tribe Cornelia as well as praefectus fabrum and tribunus militum during his lifetime. The author believes that he must be identified with the Menodorus/Menas recorded by our literary sources as a sea-captain in the war against Sextus Pompeius, who at a certain point switched sides and was thence rewarded by Octavian with the inclusion in the ordo equester. ; A funerary inscription found at Ephesus records the cursus of a certain Menodorus, a fresh Roman citizen inscribed in the tribe Cornelia as well as praefectus fabrum and tribunus militum during his lifetime.

The article analyses the writings published by Pietro Verri on the issues of the Caffè, one of the most important periodicals of the Italian Enlightenment, founded in a cultural climate marked by optimism towards enlightened absolutism. The work is a contribution to the lively and open debate on the aesthetic and literary thought of Pietro Verri. In the first place, the work follows Verri's reflections on the problem of the Italian language. Secondly, the work explores Pietro's aesthetic-literary thought, with particular attention to the writings on theatre and comedy. Verri reflects organically on these problems and develops an analysis of the passions of the human being. The author explains the function perform by the sentiment in the psychological and physiological processes that constitute the consciousness. Finally, the article analyses the repercussions of this aesthetic-psychological thought in the dimension of morality and politics. The analysis of these literary and aesthetic writings can enrich the historiographical picture of Pietro Verri. Despite the aristocratic conception of culture and politics, the author elaborates the cultural presuppositions of an intersubjective conception, which prefigures the political contract between free and equal individuals. Pietro's reflections refer therefore to a set of unresolved issues, around which moderates and democrats will conflict in the years of the Revolution.

In the context of the contemporary age, Karl Marx represents a classical author. His theory of historical materialism is the basis of his general vision of reality with the principles of "self-consciousness" and "class consciousness". To the optimism of idealism, centered on pure theory, Marx opposes a new cultural model in relation to praxis and political economy. His production must therefore be read in all its phases, from youth to maturity, with the aim of interpreting historical materialism as a peculiar form of humanism and naturalism. Humanism; Naturalism; Self-consciousness; Class Consciousness.

Il contributo propone una nuova edizione del Prologo della Marci Chronica Universalis o Cronaca di Marco (1292) e ricostruisce la fisionomia dell'autore veneziano, del quale è noto soltanto il nome Marco, mettendo in rilievo le tensioni culturali, religiose e politiche che si agitano tra le righe del suo lavoro storiografico. The essay proposes a new edition of the Prologue of the Marci Chronica Universalis or Cronaca di Marco (1292) and reconstructs the physiognomy of the Venetian author, of whom only the name Marco is known, highlighting the cultural, religious and political tensions that characterize the lines of his historiographical work.

The article examines Ingo Schulze's novel Die rechtschaffenen Mörder (2020) in the light of the considerations on estrangement expressed by the author in his speech for the Brecht Prize in 2013. This paper highlights how the novel is about two types of 'estrangements': the first, along Brecht's lines, is at the service of committed literature, capable of representing an "alternative project" for society; the second, on the other hand, is functional to the author's self-reflective moment and characteristic of the postmodern novel. The analysis of the novel argues that 'estrangement', from being a tool of political and social commitment aimed at demystifying power relations, ultimately becomes a merely formal device that preserves the status quo in the market of artistic forms produced by the "mass-democratic postmodernity" (Kondylis) in which Schulze operates, thus counteracting Brecht's and perhaps even Schulze's own initial aim. ; The article examines Ingo Schulze's novel Die rechtschaffenen Mörder (2020) in the light of the considerations on estrangement expressed by the author in his speech for the Brecht Prize in 2013.

Published in two volumes between 1868 and 1869, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott follows the classic coming-of-age structure for female characters as developed in nineteenth-century literature. Although the story is first introduced as that of a family, it instead follows each protagonist on their individual journey towards social recognition, which, for the young March sisters, is gained with marriage. From this perspective, girlhood is a transient stage of life, routed towards the achievement of economic (and emotional) stability.Since its first publication, Alcott's classic has been widely discussed and subjected to many reinterpretations in literary form, as well as in film and theatrical dramatisation. In this article I focus on the novel Bagna i fiori e aspettami (1986), a rewriting by the Italian author Lidia Ravera composed in the aftermath of the feminist struggles of the seventies. The novel, set in Italy during the eighties, offers the opportunity for the author to integrate the representation of girlhood with the language and images of mass culture. As Carol Lazzaro-Weiss points out in her study on the female Bildungsroman (1993), «women writers are creating new themes and plots and […] they do so by recombining, challenging, and exploiting old structures to their purposes» (18). Bagna i fiori e aspettami offers a good example for studying such literary manipulation. This essay shows how Ravera's main character anticipates a new idea of femininity which – leaving behind political instances and reflections on gender essentialism – embraces a more individualistic and certainly more problematic approach to female agency influenced by postfeminist discourse (GREER 1999; HOOKS 2000; GAMBLE 2001). ; Published in two volumes between 1868 and 1869, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott follows the classic coming-of-age structure for female characters as developed in nineteenth-century literature.
