Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'A/traverso (Bologna, Italy)'

This dissertation is the first comprehensive study in nearly sixty years of Vitale degli Equi (c. 1309‑59), alias Vitale da Bologna, one of the most innovative and geographically wide‑ranging painters at work in northern Italy in the middle decades of the fourteenth century. Vitale’s work has long been admired for its distinctive drama and flair, irrepressible vigour and movement, and sheer bravura of expressive force. Yet the artist himself remains stubbornly on the periphery of the Trecento ‘canon’. He is excluded from survey studies, greatly under‑represented in monographs, and only sporadically drawn into more general discussions on matters of iconography, style or aesthetics in fourteenth‑century art. The de-centring movement in Trecento art history may have gained considerable traction in recent decades, but it is seemingly yet to touch convincingly on Bologna. This thesis aims to recontextualise Vitale’s achievement, looking closely at the artist’s solutions to the common spatial, narrative and formal problems of Trecento painting. I analyse the bold spatial ambiguities and brisk elisions of setting that are so prominent a feature of his compositions, and explore the embedded metapictorial ideas they seem to gesture towards. I highlight Vitale’s approach to the human body as kinetic subject, and consider the relationship of its formal logic to phenomenologies of viewing. Finally, I examine the interchange between northern and central Italian models in Vitale’s work, and the artist’s role in the development of an authentic Bolognese style. By tracing these themes through the full breadth of Vitale’s oeuvre, I aim to establish not only the painter’s credentials as one of the most original and ambitious voices of his generation, but indeed Vitale’s capabilities as a sophisticated pictorial strategist by the standards of any era.

The aim of this thesis is analysing the way in which second-generation Eritreans in Bologna re-construct their Eritrean identity. The originality of the thesis is the fact that this type of research has not been done in Bologna yet: Bologna is a multicultural city where its left-wing tradition has appreciated cultural differences differently from other cities in Italy, such as Milan.To reach the aim of the thesis I interviewed some second-generations Eritreans who were born and grew up in Italy. I also used some previous researches that have been conducted in Italy and abroad about the re-creation of second-generation Eritreans’ identity. The whole research is framed in a theoretical framework, which is composed by the definition of four concepts that are useful for the research; these concepts are: culture, identity, nation, and, diaspora.According to this study, there are many ways in which second-generation Eritreans shape their identity in Bologna. The main ways in which second-generation Eritreans shape their Eritrean identity in Bologna are: the encounter with other Eritreans, their parents’ roots, the language, and the holiday trips back to Eritrea.

This thesis investigates the lived experience of economic migration of eleven female foreign care workers (FCWs) working in Bologna, Italy. The principal aim of the study is to examine how these women construct their experience of migrating through the stories they tell. The methodology involves semi-structured interviews in which participants reflect on the migration process, their motivations for the move and the difficulties they faced once in Italy. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and then analysed. In the first stage of analysis, similarities and differences in the narratives were identified in order to identify common themes. Subsequently, stories told in the interviews were identified. Positioning theory was employed to explore both what was said and the way in which it was said with close attention paid to the interactive nature of the stories and how they relate to wider societal discourses, especially those regarding care workers in Italy. The findings of this study demonstrate that, even though each migration experience is different, the interviewees share awareness of certain discourses regarding both immigration in Italy and care workers in particular. Through positioning theory I demonstrate how the women resist certain negative discourses in order to alternatively position themselves as making agentive career choices. The findings are discussed with reference to the efficacy of this methodological approach and suggestions for future research.

The Apostolic Order, a late medieval Italian mendicant order remains fundamentally little understood despite several centuries of research and writing devoted to their history. Much of the work done on the Apostolic Order (or Followers of Dolcino) has been focused on their leaders, taken as given the order’s heretical status, or presumed the marginalized status of those who supported the order. This thesis attempts to reconsider the order and its supporters by placing them as another mendicant order prior to the papal condemnation, and put forth the new perspective that the supporters were much like other medieval persons and became socially marginalized by the inquisitorial focus on the Apostolic Order. To support this theory, this thesis will compare the inquisitorial records of the Apostolic supporters found in Historia Fratris Dulcini Heresiarche and the Acta S. Officii Bononie—ab anon 1291 usque ad annum 1310 to those of another group of mendicants and supporters, the Beguins of Provence, which are found in Spirituali e Beghini in Provenza, Bernard Gui’s Le Livre des Sentences de L’inquisiteur Bernard Gui 1308-1323, and the martyrology in Louisa Burnham’s So Great a Light, So Great a Smoke: The Beguin Heretics of Languedoc. These two groups of data were compared using statistical analysis and network and game theory, and the results were that 1) the groups were similar; 2) most differences could be reasonably explained by the objectives of respective inquisitions or length of persecution prior to the inquisition. That these two groups are comparable suggests that there are patterns in mendicant supporter membership exemplified by Franciscan tertiaries and that the supporters of the Apostolic Order fit this pattern.

The rock slope failure object of this study occurred on the 12th of March, 2005, within the Scascoli Gorges in the Savena Valley, 25 km south of Bologna, in the Northern Apennines, Italy. The failure involved a volume of rock of nearly 30000 m3 that detached from an 80 m high cliff and fell on the river bed and onto the adjacent road, denoted as “Strada Provinciale – Fondovalle Savena”, damming the first and destroying the latter. The conformation of the cliff, known as “Mammellone 1”, was rather convex, overhanging and undercut at the base where in contact with the river bed. The event is the last of a series of mass movements which occurred in a 15-year span in the area. With integration of past analyses and surveys, possible causes and mechanism of failure have been investigated by means of two and three-dimensional kinematic analysis (using the software DIPS and SWEDGE by Rocscience, 2016), photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning comparison (Cloud Compare, Daniel Girardeau-Montaut, 2016; Autocad, Autodesk, 2016) and two-dimensional finite element numerical modelling (RS2, Rocscience, 2016). The use of a finite element method to model a predominantly blocky structure has shown to be effective and to produce good results if data integration, boundary conditions and geometry of the site are well correlated between each other to best fit the resulting scenario. The design of the numerical model considered the relative position of crown and scarp to the discontinuity families and to the geometry of the cross section, to better costrain the failure surface. Furthermore, the process of formation of the valley was taken into account in order to consider also stress-strain conditions prior to the road construction and river erosion. This was carried out by multi-staging the modelling process considering the natural erosion and the advancement of the landslide on the hydrogeological left side of the Savena steam before the last rockfall event.

The aim of this project was to record the Traditional Local Knowledge (TLK) concerning the traditional uses of wild food plants together with all the practices linked as gathering, processing, cooking, including the therapeutic uses, to re-discover plant species often under-utilized or neglected and to identify those with new or underestimated healthy effects for human people. This research was performed in two areas belonging to the province of the city of Bologna (Emilia-Romagna region, Northern Italy) and in the Middle Agri Valley (Potenza province, Basilicata region, Southern Italy). Up to now no research has been carried out on the use of wild edibles in these territories and, therefore, this study represents the first attempt to collect and save from oblivion an important part of the cultural heritage preserved by these populations. Using an ethnobotanical approach, people still retaining TLK about wild food plants were interviewed recording the edible species and related practices used. By means of the Relative Frequency of Citation index (RFC), it was possible to state that Crepis vesicaria subsp. taraxacifolia (Thuill) Thell and Cichorium intybus L. were the most recognised and important wild food species respectively in the area of Bologna and in the Middle Agri Valley. The results of the two investigated areas were compared. The ethnobotanical study was followed by a metabolic screening of 34 plants samples mentioned by the informants (13 collected in Bologna’s area and 21 in Middle Agri Valley). Sanguisorba minor Scop. showed the highest antioxidant activity and polyphenol content; Mentha spicata L. exhibited the highest flavonoid content; Sinapis arvensis L. revealed the highest content of chlorophylls and carotenoids and Clematis vitalba L. the highest protein content. Finally, the most considerable and cited species in the area of Bologna, Crepis vesicaria subsp. taraxacifolia (Thuill) Thell, was analysed by an untargeted metabolomics approach.

This qualitative study of a migrant self-organisation in Bologna, Italy analyses the power relations between immigrants and supporters within the field of voluntary work in the migration sector. Based on eight semi-structured interviews it explores the perception of power relations of the members of the intercultural association Spazio per tutti. The material was analysed with the help of thematic analysis and a postcolonial and intersectional perspective. In the first part of the discussion, it is demonstrated, along the theory of “strange encounters” of Sara Ahmed (2000), how dominant norms, such as the invisible norm of whiteness, are still present in the association and immigrants are confronted with the paradigm of integration. The second part of the analysis shows instead, with the help of Homi Bhabha’s theory of the third space (1994), how the association creates a space where fixed identities and roles can be challenged and negotiated. By taking the intersectional approach into account, it gets further clear that the internal power relations are more complex for being grasped along binary categories (e.g. immigrants and non-immigrants), as they for example do not reflect the special subject position of Black women. In a nutshell, the present case study demonstrates the need to draw the attention to the political dimension of social work with immigrants and to create more awareness for intersectional justice, also within organisations that already follow an empowerment approach.

Stratigraphic studies carried out over the last decades in Italy and elsewhere testify a growing interest in Quaternary deposits and in the influence of climate change on their architecture. The subsurface of the Po Plain, in its topmost portion, is made up of alluvial deposits organized in depositional cycles at different scales. This PhD thesis provides millennial-scale stratigraphic reconstruction of the Late Pleistocene-Holocene deposits beneath the southern Po Plain, based on basin-scale correlation of laterally-extensive buried soil horizons. Far from the aim of characterizing palaeosols from a mineralogical and geochemical point of view, we focused on the physical and stratigraphic significance of these horizons. In the Bologna urban area, which hosts an abundance of stratigraphic data, the correlation between seventeen continuously-cored boreholes led to the identification of five vertically-stacked palaeosol-bounded sequences within the 14C time window. In a wide portion of the alluvial plain north of Bologna, far away from the Apenninic margin and from the Po River, where subsurface stratigraphic architecture is dominated by markedly lenticular sediment bodies, palaeosols revealed to be the only stratigraphic marker of remarkable lateral continuity. These horizons are characterized by peculiar resistance values, which make them easily identifiable via pocket penetration tests. Palaeosols reveal specific geometric relationships with the associated alluvial facies associations, allowing reliable estimates of soil development as a function of alluvial dynamics. With the aid of sixty new radiocarbon dates, a reliable age attribution and likely time intervals of exposure were assigned to each palaeosol. Vertically-stacked palaeosols delimitate short-term depositional cycles, likely related to the major episodes of climatic change of the last 40 ky. Through integration of stratigraphic data with 750 archaeological reports from the Bologna area, the impact of human settlements on depositional and pedogenic processes during the late Holocene was investigated.
Le indagini stratigrafiche condotte in Italia e nel mondo negli ultimi decenni testimoniano un crescente interesse per i depositi quaternari e per l’influenza esercitata dalle variazioni climatiche sulla loro architettura. Questa tesi di dottorato si occupa della ricostruzione stratigrafica a scala millenaria dei depositi tardo-pleistocenici e olocenici del Bacino Padano, tra Bologna e il Fiume Po, basata sulla correlazione a scala regionale di orizzonti pedogenizzati lateralmente estesi e persistenti. Lungi dal voler caratterizzare i paleosuoli da un punto di vista mineralogico e geochimico, questo lavoro si focalizza sul significato di questi orizzonti in termini di stratigrafia fisica. Nel sottosuolo della città di Bologna, per il quale è disponibile un’eccezionale densità di dati stratigrafici, la correlazione di diciassette sondaggi a carotaggio continuo ha portato all’individuazione di cinque paleosuoli all’interno della finestra del carbonio 14. Nell’area di pianura a nord di Bologna, lontana dal margine appenninico e dal Fiume Po, caratterizzata nel sottosuolo principalmente da corpi sedimentari a geometria lenticolare, i paleosuoli si sono rivelati gli unici orizzonti guida tracciabili per decine di chilometri all’interno della successione tardo-quaternaria. Questi orizzonti sono caratterizzati da valori elevati di resistenza alla compressione e sono legati alle facies deposizionali di ambiente alluvionale da particolari rapporti geometrici, riflesso di precise relazioni intercorrenti tra pedogenesi e dinamiche alluvionali. Tramite la realizzazione di sessanta datazioni, associate a numerosi dati di letteratura, a ciascun paleosuolo è stata assegnata un’età e un tempo medio di esposizione. Il quadro stratigrafico e cronologico che ne deriva ha permesso l’individuazione di cicli deposizionali a scala sub-milankoviana e la loro correlazione con le variazioni climatiche degli ultimi quarantamila anni. L’integrazione dei dati stratigrafici con 750 relazioni di scavi archeologici, ha permesso, infine, di valutare l’impatto della sempre più diffusa presenza dell’uomo sul territorio bolognese sulla formazione e sul seppellimento dei suoli in età tardo-olocenica.

Artemisia Gentileschi's self-portrait, Allegory of Painting, painted in 1630, has activated a complex discussion of female artistic identity in which performance is tied to concerns with status. This thesis addresses an earlier history of development in allegorical self-portraiture in the work of the sixteenth-century Bolognese artist, Lavinia Fontana, and her seventeenth-century successor, Elisabetta Sirani. I argue that the female artist's negotiation for status was played out in the transformation from a more official mode of self presentation, such as Fontana's Self-Portrait at the Keyboard , to a deliberate performative shift of embodied personification in her self-portrait as Judith with the head of Holofernes and her later self portraits as St. Barbara in the Apparition of the Madonna and Child to the Five Saints. This negotiation of artistic status continues with Sirani's self-portraits in Judith and the Allegory of Painting, and as what I suggest are more ambiguous and ambitious representations of anti-heroines, Cleopatra and Circe. I also discuss the important role that the emerging genre of biography plays in the female artist's struggle for status. The thesis explores the shift in visual conventions in relation to discourses of artistic identity, gender and genre---such as the donnesca mano---that circulated in Renaissance historiography in Italy, and more specifically, in the cultural milieu of Bologna.

A central aim of the Bologna Process is the development of a European Higher Education system with qualifications recognised between signatory countries, enabling greater labour mobility_ For this to become a reality employers must become aware of what Bologna offers them. This dissertation 'examines their awareness levels. Its focuses on employers' knowledge of relevant aspects of the process and their evaluation of its usefulness, especially in relation to graduate recruitment. The study is based on research carried out with employers linked to four major universities: Bristol (England), Turku (Finland), Padova (Italy) and Iasi (Romania).All have a strong interest in the European employment market, and well established Careers Services offering professional recruitment services. They are all members of the COIMBRA group of leading European universities. This study also offers insights into the awareness, use, and potential value of the Diploma Supplement (as key component of the Bologna Process) for employers in these centres. The result is a comparative mixed method study between four different countries based on qualitative and quantitative analysis of awareness levels of employers' awareness of Bologna. The research involved a questionnaire survey of employers, plus focus groups with some of those surveyed, representing different sizes of organisations, all having links with their university Careers Services. The main aim was to establish employers' existing knowledge of Bologna and its mechanisms such as the Diploma Supplement, and how this might affect their future recruitment plans. The research findings indicate an overall lack of awareness among all employers surveyed. There were differences in knowledge levels between countries, though the size of firm did not appear to be a consistently significant factor correlated to awareness levels. The findings suggest part of the reason is the overall academic bias of Bologna, with the system having been developed primarily for the benefit of the academic community, not for the general labour market. The study concludes that if employers are to be fully involved in the development of the Bologna process, benefitting from instruments like the Diploma Supplement, considerable work is needed to raise levels of awareness and involvement.

This study presents a psychoanalytic examination of Guido Reni's motivations for creating an innovative painting series of St. Joseph and the Christ Child. The seventeenth-century artist developed a new depiction of Joseph as the tender and loving surrogate father of Christ. This new artistic emphasis on the intimate relationship between father and son reveals Reni's own psychological need to create a replacement father. Indeed, contemporary biographers report that Reni suffered from anxiety and an aversion to women throughout his life. These odd behavioral traits appear to have stemmed from Reni's lack of a supportive father figure. Thus, the artist created a symbolic artistic substitute of Joseph, who was himself a replacement figure for God, in order to fill this void in his own life.

In terms of technology, BIM is also part of the worldwide change Industry 4.0, which in essence is the trend toward automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes. Generative design is an iterative process that involves a program that will generate a certain number of outputs that meet certain constraints, so that a designer is able to fine tune the feasible project by changing minimal and maximal values of an interval in which a variable of the program meets the set of constraints, in order to reduce or augment the number of outputs to choose from. The initial idea of this thesis work was to manipulate few of the most basic geometric elements in order to get a complex parametric shape inspired from the honeycomb as the natures perfectly generated the element. This preliminary idea, together with the ambition to use this transformation for a façade system in a structural building led us to a series of decisions to try and connect two “worlds”, in the sense that we have a CAD environment that lets us create the geometry and a BIM environment where everything is represented by a specific level of information. This geometry is given a specific set of rules that drive and manipulate each of the elements it contains in a certain fashion. This methodology, as well as the communication and the interaction between the software adopted and their programming environments, is what makes the generative design possible. This result from the Grasshopper algorithm is then being created in the CAD environment in Rhinoceros3D, which then can be opened through Rhino.Inside.Revit and give us a direct real-time preview in the BIM environment in Revit. Through a long series of testing and experimenting with the geometry, we get to a point where we have a functional algorithm that creates and manipulates the geometry, in order to foster many design opportunities for structural and architectural designers.

Resumo: O estudo do Processo de Bolonha como exemplo de Política Pública Internacional é o objeto dessa tese de doutorado. Tendo suas origens na ação dos Ministros responsáveis pelo ensino superior de 29 Estados europeus, o Processo de Bolonha se caracteriza como uma política pública que tem sua gênese e sua dinâmica de interações constituídas no plano internacional e que tem sua implementação dependente das ações nacionais dos Estados participantes, configurando-se como uma política pública que se desenvolve para além dos limites nacionais do Estado, por isso definida nesse trabalho como uma política pública internacional. A tese se desenvolveu seguindo as diretrizes teóricas e metodológicas da sociologia política da ação pública, concentrando-se na dinâmica de interação (internacional e nacional) de três dos seus principais atores: os Ministros responsáveis pelo ensino superior, as universidades e os estudantes (através das ações das suas entidades representativas européias, respectivamente a EUA - European University Association e a ESU - European Students' Union) de forma a demonstrar que o desenvolvimento do Processo de Bolonha é o resultado de interações constantes dos seus atores
Abstract: The purpose of this Ph.D dissertation is to study the Bologna Process, which can be considered an example of International Public Policy. This dissertation has been developed according to the theory and methods of sociological politics of public action. It focused the national and international interaction dynamics of the three main actors: the ministers of higher level education, the universities and the students (by the actions of their representative organizations: European University Association and European Students Union). The Bologna Process was created by the actions from the ministers of higher level education among 29 European countries. This process can be considered as an example of international public policy because its foundation and its dynamics are crossing borders but it relies on national level in order to apply the policies. This dissertation shows that the Bologna Process is a result from the regular interaction from its actors

Resumo: O trabalho discute a relação da constituição da cidadania europeia com o auxílio da universidade, em particular por meio do estabelecimento da União Europeia e da criação do Espaço Europeu de Ensino Superior. Em assim sendo, após resgate histórico do Processo de Bolonha ¿ que no ano de 2010 conformou o Espaço Europeu de Ensino Superior ¿, supõe-se a universidade europeia como locus de contribuição para a cidadania europeia, trazida à tona pelo Tratado de Maastricht de 1992. Tem-se, por conseguinte, a universidade como espaço para acréscimo ao conteúdo da cidadania, não ficando o conceito alicerçado exclusivamente no Estado nacional como a sua unidade básica, uma vez que se identifica a proposta de realizá-la, igualmente, nos campos do saber e da cultura. Para tanto, da mesma forma colhe-se os elementos de uma trajetória de grande atualidade para o contexto político e educacional, apta a visualizar uma Europa não apenas fincada nas questões econômicas, mas, por conseguinte, nas morais e culturais, representando eixo de orientação ao caminho trilhado pelo Processo de Bolonha em direção a valores caros aos seres humanos, tendo a educação superior e as universidades enquanto panos de fundo e como portadoras de uma missão e de uma responsabilidade, no bojo de um itinerário em que elas mesmas podem se proporcionar no contexto de reforma uma autorreflexão e reposicionamento em face das questões do momento contemporâneo
Abstract: The work discusses the relationship of the constitution of European citizenship with the help of the university, specifically through the establishment of the European Union and the creation of the European Higher Education Area. That being so, after historic rescue of the Bologna Process ¿ who in 2010 resigned the European Higher Education Area ¿, it is assumed that the European university as a locus of contribution for European citizenship, brought out by the Maastricht Treaty of 1992. There is, therefore, the university as a space to increase the content of citizenship, not getting the concept rooted exclusively in the national state as its basic unit, since it identifies the proposal to do it also in the fields knowledge and culture. Therefore, in the same way draw in the elements of a great current trajectory for political and educational context, able to see a Europe not just stuck on economic issues, but therefore the moral and cultural, representing orientation axis the path taken by the Bologna Process towards values cherished by humans, with higher education and universities as backdrops and as having a mission and a responsibility, in the midst of a journey in which they themselves can provide in the context of reform one self-reflection and repositioning in view of the question of the contemporary moment

La thèse porte sur la chronique, très peu étudiée, du frère dominicain Francesco Pipino (années 1270-après 1328) consignée dans un manuscrit unique conservé à la Biblioteca Estense Universitaria de Modène (ms. lat. 465). Cette longue chronique (cent quatre-vingt-un folios auxquels s’ajoutent un sommaire en six folios) est structurée en trente-et-un livres qui, à trois exceptions près, sont intitulés d’après le nom d’un empereur, de Charlemagne à Albert de Habsbourg. Le premier volume fournit une analyse en trois parties des derniers livres de la chronique (XXVII à XXXI) qui concernent les années 1250-1320 environ. Le second volume de la thèse regroupe les sources, la bibliographie et les annexes (dont une édition et une traduction des derniers livres de la chronique).La première partie de la thèse fait le point sur la vie et l’œuvre de Francesco Pipino, dont la présence est particulièrement attestée à Bologne et Padoue, où il remplit notamment les fonctions d’archiviste, de vice-prieur et de prieur conventuels. L’itinérance de Francesco Pipino l’a également mené en Orient, une première fois pour un pèlerinage en Terre sainte (1320) et très probablement une seconde fois dans le cadre de la Société des frères pérégrinants.La deuxième partie de la thèse interroge les opérations intellectuelles propres à l’historien en portant le regard sur les sources utilisées et leur traitement. Francesco Pipino peut reprendre ses sources historiographiques verbatim, il peut aussi les résumer. Il recourt également à des sources diplomatiques : bulles et lettres peuvent constituer un chapitre entier ou être remployé sous forme d’extraits. D’autres types de sources sont mobilisées : sources épigraphiques, archéologiques et orales. Francesco Pipino est rarement servile face à ses sources, qu’il critique.La chronique porte également la marque de l’ordre des frères prêcheurs, dans ses choix hagiographiques, par l’exemplarité du récit ou encore par l’insertion de quelques figures dominicaines dans le temps de l’histoire.La troisième partie livre une triple lecture politique de la chronique, qui s’inscrit dans le contexte de la lutte entre le Sacerdoce et l’Empire. La structuration impériale de la chronique donne la précellence aux empereurs. En accordant la qualité d’empereur au roi des Romains, Francesco Pipino minore le rôle du couronnement impérial et, partant, des prétentions théocratiques. Ses positions politiques sont, de manière générale, pro-impériales. Au sein de chaque livre, après un premier ensemble narratif consacré à l’empereur, un deuxième ensemble traite des papes ayant officié sous l’empereur qui donne son nom au livre. Francesco Pipino reste mesuré dans son appréciation des différents pontificats, bien qu’il condamne ici encore les prétentions théocratiques de la papauté. Dans un troisième temps, chaque livre se clôt par les événements survenus dans les cités italiennes, dans les royaumes européens et en Orient. L’analyse prend ici appui sur le cas de la cité de Bologne à la fin du XIIIe siècle, dont les divisions sont dénoncées
The focus of this doctoral dissertation is a chronicle by Dominican friar Francesco Pipino (1270 CE – after 1328 CE), which has been little studied to date and is recorded in a unique manuscript kept at the Biblioteca Estense Universitaria in Modena, Italy (ms. Lat. 465.) This long chronicle (one hundred eighty-one folios, with an added six-folio table of contents) is organized in thirty-one books, which, with three exceptions, are titled after the name of an Emperor, from Charles The Great to Albert I von Habsburg. The first volume of this dissertation offers an analysis in three parts of the last books in the chronicle (volumes XXVII to XXXI), which focus on the years around 1250-1320. The second volume gathers the sources, bibliography and appendices including an edition and translation of the last books of the chronicle. The first part of the dissertation reviews the life and work of Francesco Pipino, whose presence is most specifically attested in Bologna and Padova, where he notably performed the duties of a monastic archivist, vice-prior, and prior. The peripatetic wanderings of Francesco Pipino also led him to the Middle-East; a first time for a pilgrimage in the Holy Land (1320) and very likely a second time within the framework of the Societas Fratres Peregrinantes. The second part of the dissertation interrogates the intellectual operations specific to historians by looking at the sources used in the research and their handling. Francesco Pipino might reprise his historiographical sources verbatim, or he might sum them up. He might also use diplomatic sources: Papal bulls and letters can constitute a whole chapter or be reused as excerpts. Other types of sources are enlisted: epigraphic, archeological or rural sources. Francesco Pipino was rarely subservient to his sources, which he reviewed critically. The chronicle also bears the mark of the Order of Preaching Friars, with its hagiographical choices, with the exemplary nature of the narrative, or with the insertion of a few Dominican figures inside historical time. The third part delivers a three-pronged political reading of the chronicle, which is inscribed within the contexts of the struggle between the clergy and the Holy Roman Empire. The imperial structuring of the chronicle gives the emperors precellence. By lending the quality of Emperor on the king of Romans, Francesco Pipino downplays the role of the imperial coronation and from there, theocratic contentions as well. His political stance is generally supportive of the Empire. Within each book, after a first narrative part devoted to the emperor, a second one deals with the Popes who have officiated under the emperor whose name is given to the book. Francesco Pipino remains moderate in his appraisal of the various pontificates, even though he once again condemns the theocratic pretenses of the Papacy. In a third and final stage, each book closes with events that have happened in Italian cities, in European kingdoms, and in the Middle-East. Here, the analysis is based on a case study of the city of Bologna at the end of the 13th Century, and on the denunciation of its divisions

A deep visual analysis of Ludovico Carracci’s 1588 Madonna and Child, Angels, and Saints Francis, Dominic, Mary Magdalene and the Donor Cecilia Bargellini Boncompagni with an emphasis on the role of the patron, the significance of the locality, and the visual semiotics of the Virgin Mary’s gaze in prompting conversion in the repentant prostitutes of the Carmelite convertite convent associated with Ss. Filippo and Giacomo in Bologna, Italy. Including a commentary on contemporary social expectations of modest behavior and the painting’s deliberate incorporation of inappropriate female behavior towards a religious purpose. A discussion of uniquely Carmelite iconography, the use of Ignatian mental prayer in convents, and self-determination in imagery by a Bolognese aristocratic woman.

Abstract This thesis illustrates the social engagement in the literary writings of Pier Vittorio Tondelli, an Italian gay author whose works have been described by many Catholic, Materialists, and gay critics as frivolous and disengaged. The dissertation summarizes the mutation of the Italian literary concept of impegno from Neorealism to Postmodernism, through a selection of the texts of Elio Vittorini, Italo Calvino, Franco Fortini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Leonardo Sciascia, and Umberto Eco. It shows how Tondelli’s interpretation of the role of the writer falls within the definitions given by Calvino and Eco. Moreover, the thesis demonstrates that Altri libertini and Pao Pao satisfy the characteristics of littérature mineure established by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, though Tondelli’s oeuvre is socially engaged instead of being politically engaged because of his lack of a political ideology. The dissertation highlights the core of Tondelli’s social commitment in his passionate defense of the outcasts in: Altri libertini where drug addicts, homosexuals, transsexuals, and bums are the protagonists; Pao Pao where a group of gay soldiers is described in its grotesque and camp attempt to “homosexualize” their barrack; Rimini where the Riviera Adriatica is portrayed as a place where everyone passes by and no one belongs; Camere separate through the love story of a gay couple in which one partner has to survive his lover’s death, due to an illness that is demonstrated in this thesis to be AIDS, while fighting against the homophobia of their families, institutions, society, and religion. Most of Tondelli’s socially excluded characters are introduced to the reader through an internal homodiegetic point of view. Another important component of Tondelli’s impegno is his open defense of both pop-culture and counter-cultures: gay, hippies, rockers, experimental theatre, street artists and alternative radio, which are central in all his writings.
