This paper examines similarities and differences between Cicero's speeches Post reditum in senatu and Pro Marcello. In spite of formal similarities of context (senatorial oratory), genre and style (epideictic) and themes (thanksgiving and praise for the restitutio and practice of beneficium), these two speeches are characterized by deep dissimilarities due to the different historical and political background in which they were delivered. In particular, the analysis focuses on the epideictic aspects and strategies of the two orations and examines the development of praise in the period of the late Republic. Moreover, it highlights how themes and reasonings of the post reditum rhetoric are variously developed in Caesarian speeches. ; Il contributo indaga punti di contatto e di distanza tra la Post reditum in senatu e la Pro Marcello di Cicerone. Nonostante le affinità formali di contesto (oratoria senatoria), genere e stile (epidittico) e temi (ringraziamento ed elogio per la restitutio e prassi del beneficium), queste due orazioni sono attraversate da differenze profonde, riconducibili al diverso periodo storico-politico in cui furono pronunciate. In particolare, l'analisi si sofferma sugli aspetti e sulle strategie epidittiche dei due discorsi ed esamina lo sviluppo dell'elogio nel periodo della tarda repubblica; inoltre, evidenzia come temi e argomentazioni della retorica post reditum siano variamente riproposti nelle orazioni cesariane.

La tesi è incentrata sui recenti sviluppi della narrativa testimoniale dell'America Latina. Verranno presi in considerazione gli ultimi contributi critici dedicati al rapporto tra finzione e realtà in letteratura, e sarà dato spazio alla costruzione narrativa della realtà e alla nascita del testimonio, come genere a sé, che raccoglie alcune delle principali opere latinoamericane degli ultimi quaranta anni. Nello specifico, l'indagine riguarderà la rappresentazione letteraria della violenza nella narrativa di denuncia di tre autori ispoanoamericani: la novela negra di Enrique Serna, il poliziesco testimoniale di Rodolfo Walsh e la scrittura estrema di Roberto Bolaño. Obiettivo della ricerca è capire in che modo i tre scrittori hanno raccontato le loro verità alternative, provando a salvaguardare la memoria, e quali effetti hanno ottenuto. Verranno analizzate non solo le tematiche affrontate, facendo riferimento quindi al contesto storico, politico e sociale al quale si rifanno, ma saranno illustrate anche le differenti tecniche di costruzione del romanzo, dell'intreccio e della trama, e verrà isolato il ruolo del testimone (diretto o indiretto) e delle fonti, per cogliere le differenze ma anche le similitudini stilistiche e narrative di ognuna delle opere. Più in generale, dimostreremo come e quanto i testi di questi autori costituiscano in realtà una forte critica al sistema imperante e diano voce alle categorie sociali altrimenti emarginate. ; The thesis is focused on the recent developments of the Latin American testimonial narrative. The last critical contributions dedicated to the relationship between fiction and reality in literature will be taken into consideration and room will be given to the narrative construction of reality and the birth of witness literature, as a genre in itself, which collects some of the major works in Latin America over the last forty years. Specifically, the survey will concern the literary representation of violence in the narrative report of three Spanish-American authors: Enrique Serna's novela negra, Rodolfo Walsh's police witness and Roberto Bolaño's extreme writing. The objective of the research is to understand how the three writers have told their own truth alternatives while trying to preserve memory, and what effects they've had. They will be analyzed not only the main topics through the historical, political and social context they refer to, but also the different construction techniques of the novel, storyline and plot. It will also be blocked the role of the witness (direct or indirect) and sources, to understand differences and similarities of style and narrative among the three authors' works. More in general, we will demonstrate how and how much the texts of these authors constitute a strong critique of the prevailing system and give voice to otherwise marginalized groups in society.

The paper aims at identifying similarities and differences among three realisations of a text genre in German: parliamentary questions submitted to the national parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundestag) as well as original and translated questions tabled by MEPs in the European Parliament. The research questions concerned a) the influence of the national and supranational institutional context on various features of the text genre, and b) the presence of 'translationese' in the translated texts. After providing and briefly discussing some lexicometric data, the contribution focuses on the lexical and textual level, notably on nouns (compound nouns and nomina actionis), adjectives (with positive or negative connotation) and connectives (conjunctive and pronominal adverbs). The quantitative-qualitative analysis has shown substantial similarities between the original and translated EU questions, thus confirming the role played by the institutional context. On the contrary, the results refuted some initial assumptions concerning the translated texts.

The article focuses on the practices of war tourism in Italy and Spain into the 1930s. The journeys on the battlefields become for the dictatorial regimes of Mussolini and Franco an instrument of political propaganda for domestic and international tourism. The article highlights the similarities and differences between the travels organized in Italy and those organized in Spain.

In this chapter I discuss recent attempts to link the Scandinavian Bronze Age with Minoan Crete. The current political agenda of Europeanism is one important incentive behind these efforts to search for a pan-European identity in the past. Evidence of contacts between northern and southern Europe is suggested mainly through the identification of similarities between Scandinavian images and motifs from the Mycenaean and Minoan world. This approach is not entirely new. In the late 19th century Oscar Montelius had already presented similar ideas on Bronze Age cultural contacts between the two regions. In fact, beside the pan-European discourse, the current neo-diffusionist trend could also be seen in the context of a reaction against a prevailing neo-evolutionary and processualist explanatory framework (which, in turn, could be seen as a reaction against a culture-historical diffusionist framework). The alleged contacts, however, are based on tenuous archaeological evidence: not only are the iconographic similarities often the result of arbitrary interpretations of the images in question, but there are also great chronological discrepancies. Moreover, Scandinavian archaeologists tend to accept obsolete ideas about Minoan culture and transfer these to a Scandinavian Bronze Age context in an uncritical manner.

The Pasolini-Lacan report is not supported by any philological evidence. However, there are striking similarities. These include the link that unites fraternity and segregation, democracy and banishment. From which the essay reconstructs the literary structure of Petrolio, compared by Pasolini himself with the novel by Mario Soldati Lo smeraldo. In particular, it highlights the role of the author who transforms himself from an almighty father into the literary game of the reader's brother.

This dissertation aims at providing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of two training programs for math teachers in southern Italy (M@t.abel+ and PQM). The programs are structured as content focused, one year lenght blended training sessions. Exploiting similarities and differences in the training (mainly, on organization of tutoring sessions and the presence on incentives), the analysis show positive effects of the training on both students outcomes and teacher short and medium term behaviours. Implications for policy are discussed.

L'articolo ricostruisce la storia dei test di intelligenza con il fine di evidenziare alcune analogie presenti fra le prove INVALSI e i test intellettivi. Nonostante tali prove INVALSI siano state costruite solamente negli ultimi anni, nell'articolo si dimostra come tali prove siano sorprendentemente la riproposizione dei classici test intellettivi che, così come le prove INVALSI, nacquero per opera di psicologi chiamati ad operare sul piano politico al fine di utilizzare la valutazione per "migliorare" l'organizzazione scolastica. L'autore mettendo in luce sotto il profilo storiografico tali analogie, mette in guardia gli psicologi contemporanei rispetto agli errori metodologici già commessi proprio alle origini della storia dei test intellettivi quando furono utilizzati nella valutazione dell'apprendimento e per la riorganizzazione della scuola pubblica. ; The article reconstructs the history of intelligence tests in order to highlight some of the similarities between INVALSI trials and intellectual tests. Although these INVALSI tests have been built only in recent years, the article demonstrates how such evidence is surprisingly the replication of the classic intellectual tests that, like INVALSI tests, were born by psychologists called to work politically in order to Use the evaluation to "improve" the school organization. The author, by stating historical similarities, warns contemporary psychologists of the methodological mistakes already made to the very origins of the history of intellectual testing when used in the assessment of learning and for the reorganization of the public school.

The monastic and hagiographical contents of Hilary's Sermon on the Life of Honoratus (430-431) have received substantial consideration. Much less attention has been paid to the role the sermon played in the specific context of Arles. In this article, I will focus attention on the social and political dimension of the text and will argue that Hilary's main purpose was to justify his election as bishop of Arles. Hilary portrayed Honoratus as the ideal bishop and exploited the similarities between the two in order to present himself as the suitable successor.

Der vorliegende Band nimmt am Beispiel Roms und des Maghreb übereinstimmende und kontrastierende Modi der Aneignung materieller Hinterlassenschaften der Antike in den Blick. Während sich beide Räume politisch und kulturell in unterschiedliche Richtungen bewegen, wird die Antike alternativ als eigene oder fremde Vergangenheit konstruiert. Der pragmatische Zugriff zeitigt strukturell ähnliche organisatorische, logistische und rechtlichlenkende Praktiken. ; Using the example of Rome and the Maghreb, this volume examines corresponding and contrasting modes of the appropriation of material remains of Classical Antiquity. As the two regions moved in different directions politically and culturally, societies construed Classical Antiquity as either their own or an alien past. Pragmatic recourse led to structural similarities in organization, logistics and governance.

Scholars have often underlined the influence of medieval theological voluntarism in Thomas Hobbes' thought. The article aims to identify the similarities with some theses of medieval ethical voluntarism in Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan. The evolution of the concept of good is considered starting with the ethical thought of John Duns Scotus and William of Ockham. The concept of good understood as individual advantage and self-preservation comes to Hobbes probably through Scotus' influence in Francisco Suárez. In addition, the approaches to moral obligation and to good and evil seem to be the Ockham's legacy to the Hobbesian moral and political thought.
