Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Baronio'

Nei primi due capitoli mi occupo del recupero del Barocco in ambito novecentesco e delle diverse letture e interpretazioni del Barocco e del Neobarocco, concetto che nasce dalla riflessione sul Barocco lungo tutto il Novecento. Riflessione che è stata anche una rivendicazione, a livello estetico, ma non solo, di una attualità o contemporaneità del Barocco, che accomuna tutta la riflessione sulla scoperta della cultura di un secolo, da Wölfflin a Benjamin, da Riegl a Anceschi. Si tratta anche di un rapporto fra Barocco storico e Neobarocco: se la stessa rivalutazione e riscoperta dell’arte del XVII secolo, dalla fine dell’Ottocento e lungo tutto il Novecento, ha coinciso con la sua costruzione terminologica ed ermeneutica, di questa nuova categoria è lo stesso approccio intellettuale contemporaneo che può definirsi, nella più ampia accezione, «neobarocco». Nel terzo capitolo, invece, ho approfondito il rapporto fra Gadda e il Barocco, partendo dal concetto di allegoria moderna di Walter Benjamin. Fondamentale per la mia ricerca è stato il libro di Gilles Deleuze, La piega. Leibniz e il barocco, che ha visto nell’opera del filosofo Leibniz (studiato anche dal proprio Gadda) la chiave di lettura per capire il Barocco nelle sue diverse manifestazioni. E anche il libro di Robert Dombroski, Gadda e il barocco, in cui si parte appunto dal concetto di barocco/neobarocco come punto di approccio per studiare il barocco di Gadda. Infatti, lo stile di Gadda risponde al canone barocco che il poststrutturalismo ha riaccolto nel vivo del dibattito estetico, si pensi ai contributi di Roland Barthes e di Severo Sarduy e, posteriormente, all’opera proprio di Deleuze. Nell’ultimo capitolo, poi, faccio un’analisi di Gadda traduttore di opere del Seicento spagnolo, opere che vengono da lui riscritte grazie alla rielaborazione del passato attraverso il suo linguaggio neobarocco.<br>In the first two chapters I deal with the recovery of the Baroque in the twentieth-century and the different interpretations of Baroque and Neo-Baroque, a concept that arises from a reflection on the Baroque throughout the twentieth century. Reflection that was a claim on an aesthetic level, but not only, of a contemporary Baroque, which unites the whole reflection on the discovery of the culture of a century, from Wölfflin to Benjamin, from Riegl to Anceschi. It is also an historical relationship between Baroque and Neo-Baroque: it is the same appreciation and rediscovery of Baroque art, that we have from the late nineteenth and throughout the twentieth century. This has coincided with its construction, terminology and interpretation, of this new category is the same approach that contemporary intellectual can be defined in the broadest sense, “neo-baroque”. In the third chapter, I explored the relationship between Gadda and the Baroque style, starting from Walter Benjamin’s concept of modern allegory. Gilles Deleuze’s The Fold. Leibniz and the Baroque was fundamental for my research. In this book the French philosopher has studied the work of the philosopher Leibniz (also studied by Gadda himself) and he has found the key to understand Baroque in its various manifestations. Following Deleuze’s concept baroque/neo-baroque, Robert Dombroski in Gadda and the Baroque, explore the Baroque’s way of Carlo Emilio Gadda. In fact, the style of Italian writer responds to the baroque canon that poststructuralism has welcomed back into the heart of aesthetic debate. Let’s think about the contributions of Roland Barthes and Severo Sarduy and, subsequently, the work of Deleuze. In the last chapter, I do an analysis of Gadda as a translator of Spanish works of the seventeenth century, works that are rewritten by him due to the revision of the past through its neo-baroque language.

L’area regionale molisana all’alba della conquista aragonese del Regno di Napoli vedeva la presenza di una società caratterizzata da una pluralità di poteri − gravitanti attorno ai tre poli della monarchia, dei signori feudali e delle comunità locali − aventi tra loro relazioni complesse e dinamiche. La nuova dominazione determinò profondi mutamenti non solo nella titolarità dei poteri locali, ma anche, se non soprattutto, nei loro equilibri e reciproche relazioni e nei rapporti con il potere centrale. Il trittico crisi-disfacimento-riorganizzazione della rete dei poteri territoriali, delle loro reti di relazioni e dei loro equilibri reciproci e con la monarchia in un’area geografica compatta e non troppo limitata, si è prestato ad un’analisi storica che avesse come obiettivo quello di giungere ad un quadro interpretativo con valenza sovra-locale che potesse essere elemento di comparazione per il Regno di Napoli e per gli altri stati territoriali italiani. Nell’affrontare il tema considerato, si è adottato un metodo empirico-induttivo partendo dallo studio e dall’analisi degli elementi raccolti per giungere ad un modello interpretativo del fenomeno storico analizzato che si reggesse su salde fondamenta documentarie, considerando la varietà e la validità delle fonti utilizzate una condizione necessaria della ricerca. A tal fine è stato condotto uno spoglio molto ampio di fonti primarie, in gran parte inedite, prodotte direttamente dai protagonisti o da testimoni diretti: la documentazione su cui si basa questa ricerca è, infatti, tipologicamente varia e conservata in archivi e biblioteche napoletani, molisani, italiani e stranieri. Tra tutte le fonti utilizzate segnaliamo i dispacci diplomatici, i capitoli concessi dai sovrani aragonesi alle università e le lettere contenute nei registri Litterarum Partium della Regia Camera della Sommaria conservanti documentazione afferente all’età aragonese che sono stati spogliati integralmente per la prima volta. Il quadro dei rapporti tra Corona, baroni e comunità nell’età aragonese che emerge dalla ricerca rivela una monarchia che non escludeva, ma riconosceva, gli altri due poli del baronaggio e delle comunità e li chiamava ad una gestione partecipata della società politica del Regno, seppure a nuove condizioni. Possiamo quindi dire che, in generale, la cornice formale dei rapporti reciproci tra Corona, baroni e comunità restò inalterata, ma la sostanza di essi venne profondamente mutata perché mutarono profondamente gli equilibri di potere tra i tre poli a favore della monarchia. In virtù delle riforme introdotte e dell’azione combinata degli interventi diretti del re e della penetrante azione di controllo operata dalla rete dei funzionari pubblici sotto il controllo e la guida della Regia Camera della Sommaria, la Corona divenne una presenza forte e costante nella società e il potere principale e dominante, seppure evidentemente non unico e assoluto: un potere che si poneva al fianco di tutti − baroni, comunità, enti ecclesiastici e singole persone − a volte per aiutarli, altre per punirli, ma in generale per guidarli ed esser certa che facessero la loro parte nel perseguimento della pace, della giustizia e del bonum rei publice.<br>At the dawn of the Aragonese conquest of the Kingdom of Naples, in the Molise regional area a society characterized by a plurality of powers − gravitating around the three poles of the monarchy, the feudal lords and the local communities − had developed complex and dynamic relationships between all its elements. The new domination brought about profound changes not only in the formal definition of local authorities, but above all, in their balance and mutual relations, and in their relations with central power. In such a compact and not too limited geographical area, the triptych crisis-disintegration-reorganization of the network of territorial powers, their networks of relationships and their mutual balance with the monarchy, has allowed me to focus on a historical analysis aiming to elaborate an interpretative frame with super-local value that could offer elements of comparison for the Kingdom of Naples and for the other Italian territorial states. In addressing the topic considered, an empirical-inductive method was adopted: I therefore started by studying and analysing all the collected documentary data. Their variety and validity has been understood as the main and necessary ground for the research in order to build an interpretative model of the chosen historical case-study that at once was based on firm documentary foundations, and could be applied to other contexts. A very large survey of primary sources, mainly unpublished, and produced directly by the protagonists or by direct witnesses was conducted: the documentation on which this research is based on, in fact, is typologically varied and scattered in Neapolitan, Molise, Italian and foreign archives and libraries. Among all the sources used, we point out the diplomatic dispatches, the chapters granted by the Aragonese rulers to the Universities and the letters contained in the Litterarum Partium registers of the Regia Camera della Sommaria, which preserves documents relating to the Aragonese age that were completely stripped in full for the first time. The picture of the relationships between the crown, barons and communities in the Aragonese age that emerges from the research reveals a monarchy that did not exclude, but recognized, the other two poles of baronage and communities and called them to take part of the management of the political society of the Kingdom, albeit under new conditions. We can therefore say that, in general, the formal picture of reciprocal relations between the crown, barons and communities remained unchanged, but the substance of them was profoundly transformed because the balance of power between the three poles changed significantly in favour of the monarchy. By virtue of the reforms introduced by the crown and the combined action of the king’s direct interventions and the penetrating control exercised by the network of public officials under the rule and guidance of the Regia Camera della Sommaria, the monarchy became a strong and constant presence in society and the main and dominant power, although evidently not unique and absolute: a power that stood by everyone – barons, communities, ecclesiastical bodies and individuals – sometimes to help them, others to punish them, but in general to guide them and to be sure that they did their part in the pursuit of peace, justice and bonum rei publice.

The diploma thesis discusses chamber ensemble from Pardubice, Barocco sempre giovane. It includes the history of ensemble, discography and abroad tours, permanent members and the founder and art manager of the ensemble Josef Krečmer, significant soloists and the other czech ensembles with the similar specialization. A special chapters deals with important festivals and musical courses which are closely connected with the ensemble. Even the repertory of the ensemble with the authentic interpretation is not missing.

This entry briefly examines the major contributions of Hans Baron to the intellectual history of the Italian Renaissance and beyond. It emphasizes Baron’s conception of “civic humanism” and how this concept remains influential even a century after its first introduction.

The focus of this thesis is the Visio Baronti (VB), an account of a seventh-century monk's journey to the other world. This text serves as a metaphoric fulcrum to support a more extensive study of early medieval conceptions of the other world and the historical context in which visionary accounts were produced. Chapter 1 contains an introduction to ideas of the other world, a survey of types of visionary experiences, their uses, imitations and historiographical responses to them. Chapter 2 focuses on medieval and modern responses to visions. This chapter includes a survey of the terminology for dreams and visions found in theoretical writings, compares dream theory with otherworld visions and identifies medieval methods of determining the validity of a visionary experience. Chapter 3 investigates the manuscript tradition of the VB, in order to illuminate medieval receptions and treatments of this text. Because the text appears unusual for the seventh century, chapter 4 provides an analysis of the grounds for dating the VB to the seventh century, while chapter 5 treats the VB in its seventh-century monastic context and assesses what influences shaped this text. Chapter 6 compares Barontus's vision with ninth-century visions and other Carolingian writings to consider Carolingian interest in the VB in light of their contributions to the genre. Chapter 7 examines the artistic response to this text through an examination of the illustrations which accompany the text in the ninth-century St Petersburg manuscript. A brief conclusion to this study follows.

The following thesis is an analysis of the place-names of the townlands contained within the parishes of the Barony of Coleraine. It seeks to collate and record all the available historical forms of the place-names in question, and to record the phonetic pronunciation of these names, in order to fully explain their derivation and, where appropriate, to suggest a suitable, modem, Irish language equivalent. This research will contribute to the work undertaken by both the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project and by An Coiste Logainmneacha which is attempting to provide authoritative, research based forms for all the townland names in Ireland. This research will also seek to explore the historical and religious influences which shaped the nomenclature of the area, and in particular will show how the presence of different ethnic and religious groups has been reflected in the naming process. The research will also attempt to redefine the meanings of some place-name elements, and will examine how the geography of an area can influence the naming process.

La baronía de Serra fue la primera en ser repoblada tras la expulsión morisca. La Tesis analiza el proceso repoblador, prosopografía de linajes, inmigración vizcaína, evolución demográfica, distribución de tierras y casas, aprovechamientos agrarios, producciones, tributos señoriales, diezmos, vida social, patrimonio... Los Folch de Cardona/Duques de Montellano, pleitearon por conservar esta posesión contra los duques de Cardona/Segorbe. El malestar de los vasallos culminó en 1839 con la interposición de una demanda popular para reversión de la baronía a la Corona, demanda que prosperó por la disposición y concesiones de la duquesa de Montellano en su testamento de 1837. Filiberto Mahy, completó la liquidación de bienes privativos sin que los vecinos de Serra soportaran gravosas cargas, como sucedió en otros lugares. En 1835 fue anexionada al término de Serra la desamortizada Cartuja de Portaceli.<br>Serra was the first barony to be populated after the Moorish expulsion. This thesis analyses the repopulating process, prosopography of lineages, Viscain immigration, demographic evolution, distribution of lands and houses, agrarian exploitations, tributes, tithes, social life, heritage... The Folch de Cardona family, later Montellano dukes, litigated against the Cardona/Segorbe dukes to maintain the property. The discomfort of the vassals culminated in 1839 with interposition of a popular demand for the reversal of the barony to the Crown, demand which prospered thanks to the goodwill and concessions made by the Montellano duchess in her testament in 1837. Philibert Mahy completed the liquidation of separate properties without Serra’s neighbours having to bear any burdensome charges, as happened in many other cases. In 1835, the disentailed Charterhouse of Portaceli district was annexed to Serra’s.

This doctoral thesis analyses the private credit available to the popular classes during the fourteenth century. At the same time, it focuses on the institutional mechanisms granted by public powers in order to sanction this credit, but also to pursue non-payment. The case study chosen is the barony of Llagostera, in north-eastern Catalonia. The main data used for the investigation is drawn from the notarial series preserved for the territory, as well as from the court records of the local jurisdictional court. In the first instance, primary sources are explored, placing special emphasis on court records. In a second block we present the main financial products available to the population of the territory, namely the ‘comandes de bestiar’ (cattle-leasing agreements), the financed purchases of cloth, and the so-called ‘crèdit censal’ (i.e. the local rentes viagères). Finally, in the third block of the thesis we present the coercive mechanisms by which jurisdictional lordships provided legal security to the financial market<br>La present tesi doctoral es proposa analitzar el crèdit privat estès entre les classes populars al segle XIV i els mecanismes institucionals habilitats pels poders públics per tal de sancionar-lo i, alhora, perseguir la morositat. El cas d’estudi escollit és la baronia de Llagostera, al nord-est de Catalunya. La base documental principal per a la investigació és la sèrie notarial conservada per aquest territori, i també els registres de la cort del batlle jurisdiccional. En primera instància s’exploren les fonts, fent especial èmfasi en els registres de la cort. En un segon bloc es presenten els principals productes financers a l’abast de la població del territori, descrivint particularnent les comandes de bestiar, la compravenda finançada de draps i el crèdit censal. Per últim, en el tercer bloc de la tesi s’introdueixen els mecanismes coercitius a través dels quals les senyories jurisdiccionals van donar seguretat jurídica al mercat financer

El conocimiento de la Baronía de Fraga, durante los reinados de los dos últimos reyes de la casa de Barcelona y primeros Trastámaras, es un tema desconocido para la historiografía actual. Situada en la frontera de dos territorios en formación -el Reino de Aragón y Principado de Cataluña- la villa de Fraga vivió las consecuencias de los avatares socio-políticos de ambos territorios. ¿Había sido Fraga y su Baronía siempre aragonesa? La bibliografía conocida y las fuentes apuntaban su inclusión a Cataluña en un periodo indeterminado. ¿Desde cuándo? ¿Hasta qué fechas? ¿Por qué motivos había quedado tan desdibujada esa circunstancia? ¿Qué causas iban a determinar que la Baronía de Fraga fuera considerada aragonesa en tiempo de los reinados en estudio? ¿La integración de Fraga y su término a Aragón resultó fructífera? ¿Para quién? La tesis responde a todas y cada una de estas preguntas. <br/><br/>Las fuentes directas utilizadas son: el Archivo de la Corona de Aragón (ACA), prácticamente inéditas, - las más abundantes -, complementadas con el Archivo de la Diputación de Zaragoza (ADZ), el Archivo Municipal de Fraga (AMF), el Archivo Provincial de Zaragoza (APZ), y en menor medida: el Archivo Municipal de Lérida (AML), el Archivo Municipal de Zaragoza (AMZ), y el Archivo de la Aljafería de Zaragoza o de las Cortes de Aragón (AAZ-CA). El exhaustivo rastreo de fuentes bibliográficas, editadas por la Universidad de Zaragoza, o por instituciones catalanas, ha permitido ir más allá de nuestros primeros interrogantes.<br/><br/>El trabajo expone documentalmente que dicha Baronía fue catalana en el momento de su constitución, o sea, cuando los hombres de la villa de Fraga y sus aldeas efectuaron en 1333 homenaje de fidelidad a la reina Leonor, -esposa del rey Alfonso IV-, y perduró como Baronía hasta que el rey Alfonso V la incorporó a su dominio en 1420.<br/> <br/>En este intervalo, la extensa Baronía de Fraga pasará a integrar el reino histórico de Aragón. Atrás quedarán su vinculación a los marquesados de Camarasa y Tortosa, o su dependencia de la administración del veguer de Lleida. Los argumentos defendidos por los aragoneses, -más persistentes- no encontrarán la oposición de Cataluña, que se hallaba diezmada en su población y en sus recursos. El río Cinca, río que baña la huerta fragatina, fue precisamente un río debatido como frontera, hasta conseguir fraccionar la Baronía de Fraga dejando la menor parte de ella en Cataluña. El intento aragonés de ampliar el reino hasta el Segre, nunca vio sus aspiraciones cumplidas, pero sí la segregación de aquel territorio cinqueño como era la rica y populosa villa de Fraga. El proceso de segregación administrativa había iniciado en Monzón en 1362 y cerrado definitivamente en 1379 al privar a Fraga del disfrute de los usos y costumbres catalanes. La misma Fraga, así como las aldeas situadas en la margen izquierda del Cinca, pasaron a ser aragonesas, dejando la frontera extrañamente recortada al no seguir la línea continua del mencionado río y tampoco de accidentes geográficos naturales. Aragón buscó su expansión territorial en el actual Bajo Cinca de la misma forma que había hecho, o estaba haciendo, en la Ribagorza, la Litera o el Matarraña, aprovechando la coyuntura de crisis general y para paliar las pérdidas sufridas de sus guerras con Castilla. Todo ello argumentado a la luz de fuentes inéditas, que presentan la delimitación territorial del término de Fraga en la Edad Media con los términos vecinos, tanto en la parte de Aragón como en la de Cataluña.<br/><br/>Una vez conocido el territorio, señala los distintos señoríos que la rodeaban y sus relaciones con Fraga y sus aldeas. Presenta una nueva concepción del estudio y conocimiento demográfico en una Baronía, a partir de las fuentes fiscales; especificando los fuegos impositivos y exentos para cada una de las comunidades cristianas, judía y sarracena, así como para sus aldeas. El estudio ofrece noticias de las tres comunidades religiosas existentes en Fraga; una descripción de los estamentos cristianos privilegiados -nobleza y clero- y el extenso listado de la nobleza local con una breve prosopografía de todos ellos. Demuestra cómo aquel periodo fue un periodo de crisis social -no sólo por sucesos entre las tres comunidades- sino por la especial delincuencia urbana, las abundantes bandosidades y la obligada participación de la villa en las guerras medievales. <br/><br/>El conocimiento y actuaciones de los funcionarios reales, -procurador, baile, alcaide, justicia, capitanes, escribanos- permite diferenciar la particular presencia de funcionarios catalanes: Simón Martín Clavilla; Johan, Francesc y Marcos de Montbuí, entre los años 1387 a 1427; para sucederles funcionarios aragoneses especialmente elegidos por el monarca, como fueron Ferrer de Lanuza, Martín de Lanuza y Domingo de Lanaja, cuya actuación es decisiva para comprender el devenir de un territorio que perdió todo su potencial a medida que avanzaban los años de la Baja Edad Media. Cierra el conocimiento de esta Baronía la argumentación de su fiscalidad, el crecimiento progresivo de su deuda censal, y las graves dificultades del Concejo y prohombres para soportar las excesivas cargas a las que se vieron obligados por el rey, las autoridades aragonesas, la iglesia, o los acreedores, así como por la defensa de sus límites. Las crisis demográficas y económicas generales del XIV y del XV motivaron que la Baronía de Fraga oscilara buscando su supervivencia en los territorios limítrofes, sin conseguirlo. El resultado fue una progresiva pérdida de población, pérdida de potencial comercial, y el alejamiento de los centros de poder -Lérida y Zaragoza- para quedar relegada a una supervivencia autárquica y endogámica hasta nuestros días. <br/><br/>Todo ello presentado en cuatro bloques o capítulos -territorio, sociedad, organización política, y fiscalidad.<br><I>"THE BARONY OF FRAGA: <br/>ITS PROGRESSIVE CONNECTIONS WITH ARAGON<br/>(1387-1458)"<br/>By Joaquim Salleras Clarió<br/><br/>TEXT:<br/><br/>The Barony of Fraga during the reign of the two last kings of Barcelona and first Trastamaras is an unknown historical period to the present historiography. Situated in the borders of two territories -the Kingdom of Aragon and the Principality of Catalonia, it suffered the consequences of their socio-political vicissitudes. Had Fraga and its Barony always been Aragonese? The known sources pointed to their inclusion into Catalonia at an undetermined period. Why had that circumstance been left indeterminate? What causes were to determine that the Barony of Fraga was considered Aragonese during the reigns under study? Were the integration of Fraga and its limits into Aragon fruitful? For whom?<br/><br/>Direct sources used include: the Crown of Aragon Archives, most of them unpublished, complemented with the Council of Saragossa Archives, Fraga Local Archives, Saragossa Provincial Archives, and to a lesser extent, Lleida Local Archives, Saragossa Local Archives and Aragon Parliament (Aljafería de Zaragoza) Archives. The thorough research for bibliographical resources, edited by the University of Saragossa o by Catalan institutions, has allowed to go beyond our initial questions.<br/><br/>This piece of work will provide evidence that the above Barony was Catalan at the time of its constitution, that is, when the people of Fraga and its small villages swore an oath of loyalty to Queen Leonor -wife of king Alfonso IV- and the Barony remained until king Alfonso V joined it to his dominions in 1420.<br/><br/>In this interval, this extensive Barony will integrate the historical reign of Aragon. Its links with the marquisates of Camarasa and Tortosa, or its dependence on the administration of the "veguer de Lleida" (Lleida's magistrate) will be left behind. The arguments defended by Aragon -more aggressive- will not encounter any opposition from Catalonia, whose population and resources were decimated. The River Cinca will be discussed as border, and will eventually divide the Barony of Fraga, leaving a small part of it within Catalonia. Aragon aspirations to expand the reign up to the Segre will never be fulfilled; however, the territory will be segregated. The process began in Monzón in 1362 and definitely closed in 1379, when Fraga was deprived of the Catalan habits and customs. Fraga itself, as well as the small villages on the left bank of the Cinca River, became Aragonese, with its borders not following the above river. Aragon expanded towards the current Bajo Cinca as it had already done, or was doing, in the Ribagorza, the Litera or the Matarraña. All this will be argued based on unpublished sources that will allow the territorial demarcation of Fraga area in the Middle Ages with its neighbouring limits, in Aragon as well as Catalonia.<br/><br/>Once acquainted with the territory, the different states around as well as its relations with Fraga and its small villages will be shown. A new conception of a Barony's study and demographic knowledge will be introduced, based on fiscal sources, specifying the tax privileges and exemptions for the Christian, Jewish and Saracen communities, as well as for their villages. This study will inform about the three religious communities in Fraga; a description of the privileged Christian strata -nobility and clergy- and the extensive register of the local nobility together with a brief description. It will be proved that it was a period of social crisis, not only because of incidents among the three communities, but also because of the urban delinquency, abundant banditry and the compulsory participation of men in the medieval wars. <br/><br/>The knowledge and performance of royal servants -attorney, keeper, justice, captains, scribes- will allow us to differentiate the particular presence of Catalan employees: Simón Martín Clavilla, Johan, Francesc and Marcos de Montbuí, between 1387 and 1427. They will be succeeded by Aragonese employees especially elected by the king, as Ferrer de Lanuza, Martín de Lanuza and Domingo de Lanaja, whose intervention will be decisive to understand the future of a territory that lost all its potential as years passed during the Low Middle Ages. The knowledge of this Barony will finish with an explanation of its tax organization, the progressive growth of its census debt, and the town council and great men's serious difficulties to support the excessive charges imposed by the king, Aragon authorities, creditors and the defence of their borders. The general demographic and economic crisis of the XIV and XV centuries caused the Barony of Fraga to look for its survival in the bordering territories, which turned out unsuccessful. This will result in a loss of population, commercial potential and the distancing of the power centres -Lérida and Zaragoza- being consigned to an autarkic and endogamous survival up to nowadays, focussed on satisfying tax extraction.<br/><br/>All this will be presented in for sections: territory, society, political organization and tax organization. </I>

La tesi, mette in luce un tema analizzato solo in parte nell ambito più generale degli studi sulle dinamiche del Sei-Settecento siciliano, dando un apporto di ricerca autentico, che si pone all interno della cultura più recente sul tema dell effimero. Le nuove interpretazioni valutano la festa come arte della città , capace di incidere sul fascino ed evoluzione dei suoi spazi, attraverso produzioni e messe in scena spettacolari, in cui lo sfarzo, la finzione e la ridondanza sono i caratteri dominanti. Riferimento di partenza, è l area palermitana, studiata per i suoi magnifici apparati, ma in aggiunta la tesi approfondisce anche l apporto di altre città capitali della festa in Sicilia, come Messina, Catania e Siracusa, offrendo una visione più ampia e articolata dell effimero nell Isola con l intento di comprendere meglio l intreccio culturale e la creatività artistica del periodo considerato. Dopo una premessa sulla spazialità del barocco e i suoi significati, si perviene alla ricerca vera e propria sulle componenti della spettacolarità e i suoi materiali. Al di là del significato congiunto col clima della festa, la tesi, avvalendosi di importanti fonti manoscritti e a stampa, offre un prezioso regesto bibliografico ragionato sulle principali feste siciliane tra 500 e 700. Tramite esse, è stato possibile ricostruire la tipologia dei vari apparati e indagare sulle maestranze, personaggi spesso ignorati dagli studi o comunque non posti nel giusto rilievo, delineandone i profili, e tramite essi cogliere la storia della cultura figurativa in Sicilia. Attraverso la vasta raccolta iconografica effettuata, si restituisce un quadro d insieme degli addobbi dei festini siciliani, preziosi documenti visivi di quell affascinante universo di simboli che è la Sicilia: archi trionfali, macchine da fuoco, carri, fontane, teatri, addobbi interni e esterni. Materiali questi, che hanno permesso di eternare di anno in anno, secondo il ritmo delle feste, il ricordo del gran teatro del barocco , ponendosi quale completamento indispensabile alla ricerca e offrendo un quadro d insieme utile a futuri approfondimenti. Un percorso di esplorazione che continua nel suo valore simbolico di affascinante viaggio del pensiero nello spazio dilatato e nel tempo sospeso della festa. Quanto più questi dati di effimero a largo raggio si collegano al grande referente, l architettura, tanto più si potrà cogliere efficacemente e responsabilmente il clima generale in Sicilia nel XVII e XVIII secolo. Ma questo è un augurio: che questa ricerca sia stimolo verso altri territori.

Questa tesi nasce dall’esigenza di riconoscere la dovuta importanza all’aspetto costumistico nell’ambito degli studi sul teatro. La prima parte presenta una definizione di costume teatrale, analizzando le dinamiche riguardanti la sua realizzazione ed il rapporto con l’attore. Affronta quindi la questione delle fonti documentarie e iconografiche ed analizza infine le caratteristiche e le differenze tra abito e costume teatrale. La parte centrale vuole essere una ricostruzione storica del costume teatrale barocco e si articola nella disamina dei fenomeni più caratterizzanti dell’epoca, quali le feste di corte, i tornei, il melodramma. Analizza inoltre altri aspetti quali la teatralità nella vita quotidiana e nella moda coeva, la trattatistica riguardante l’aspetto costumistico e le questioni inerenti al corredo dell’attore, le spese e il noleggio dei costumi. La terza ed ultima parte evidenzia, attraverso una serie di esempi e relativa analisi, come alcuni noti costumisti in epoca contemporanea abbiano rivisitato il costume teatrale barocco e si conclude con la presentazione del lavoro costumistico di Giuseppe Palella per l’Orlando Furioso di Vivaldi, realizzato dalla sartoria del Teatro La Fenice in coproduzione con il Festival della Valle d’Itria del 2017. La realizzazione è stata seguita e documentata in prima persona dall’autrice della tesi.

Questa tesi ha l'obbiettivo di indagare la personalità dell'architetto spagnolo Vicente de Acero y Arebo, e di chiarirne, per quanto possibile, tramite gli studi precedentemente condotti, la sua produzione architettonica. In un contesto di fermento per la penisola Iberica, quale fu il XVII secolo, dove l'introduzione di elementi borrominiani nel linguaggio costruttivo spagnolo venne ad incontrarsi con la tradizione rinascimentale spagnola, fu la regione andalusa a risultare maggiormente ricettiva. Proprio in Andalusia si sviluppa l'opera architettonica di Vicente de Acero; emblematica sarà la Cattedrale di Cadice da cui si scatenò un intenso dibattito pubblico destinato ad influenzarne l'esito. L'elaborato affronta, nella sua parte iniziale, la vita dell'architetto, chiarendone la sua formazione pratica e teorica, presentando anche la figura del suo maestro, l'architetto-ingegnere Francisco Hurtado Izquierdo. Successivamente analizza l'opera costruttiva di Vicente de Acero dalla quale emergono le sue evidenti peculiarità stilistiche.

Cette these est consacree a la presentation et a un commentaire des ecrits du baron d'eckstein, publies sous la restauration dans divers revues. Elle montre donc en premier lieu l'originalite d'un personnage qui associe les caracteristiques du journaliste a celles de l'erudit. Une seconde partie souligne l'importance de la double appartenance nationale et culturelle d'eckstein, source de nombreux malentendus, mais aussi moyen pour le critique de transmettre au public francais l'enseignement de son maitre f. Schlegel. La derniere partie traite de la participation d'eckstein aux debats litteraires de son temps : la litterature comme expression de la societe et du genie national, la question de l'imitation, les definitions du romantisme. . . Ses jugements mettent ici encore en valeur la singularite de son point de vue<br>The object of this work is the presentation and commentary of the writings of baron d'eckstein, that were published at the time of the french restoration in various journals. Its first purpose is to stress the originality of a figure who blends the characteristics of a journalist with those of a scholar. The second part emphasizes baron d'eckstein's double stand in terms of nationality and culture, which was the source of several misunderstandings but also gave the critic the opportunity to transmit the teachings of his master f. Schlegel to the french. The last part deals with the role eckstein played in the literary debates of is age : literature as the form of expression of a society and a national genius, the question of imitation, the definitions of romanticism. His opinions on such topics further highlight the singularity of his point of view

Au bas moyen age, la baronnie de montmorillon a une superficie qui avoisine 1000 km2 et son economie (elevage surtout) est moyenne malgre les difficultes du temps. Elle se compose de cent-dix fiefs. Elle possede vingt-sept chateaux. Montmorillon est le siege d'un archipretre. Quinze chateaux sont aujourd'hui conserves en totalite ou en partie. Quatre sont du xive siecle, notamment la ferrandiere et pruniers. Les autres sont du xve siecle ; on retient l'interet de forges, bourg-archambault et champeau. Cree par une societe qui a peur, symbole d'une classe sociale, le chateau du montmorillonnais est commandite par la petite noblesse, avec ou sans autorisation royale, construit par des maitres locaux qui recoivent des influences de poitiers, et garde par la population des alentours. Il permet seulement une protection contre les bandes armees. Eleve dans des sites varies, il presente un plan axe sur un logis ou sur un donjon. Il est une imitation "modele reduit" du grand chateau : on y trouve enceinte, tours, chapelle, logis ou donjon ; son decor, riche, s'accentue nettement dans la seconde moitie du xve siecle. Replace dans le contexte de son epoque, ce petit chateau apparait comme un edifice sans originalite archeologique majeure par rapport aux autres regions a une exception pres : le donjon carre a quatre tourelles d'angle en tres forte saillie, type dont le modele est vincennes puis la tour maubergeon de poitiers. Il doit etre nettement differencie de la maison-forte. Dans tous ses elements (architecture, decor), il est le reflet modeste des grandes constructions du bas moyen age<br>In the late middle ages the barony of montmorillon covered an area of about 1000 square kilometers and its economy (consisting mostly in breeding) was an average one in spite of the difficulties of the time. It was composed of a hundred and ten fiefs. There stood twenty seven castles. Montmorillon has got an archpriest. Fifteen castles are still standing in perfect or poor condition. Four of them were built in the xivth century, such as la ferrandiere and pruniers. The others were erected in the xvth century ; we can underline the interest of forges, bourg-archambault and champeau. Created because the people of that time were afraid, and the symbol of a social class, the castle in the montmorillon area was financed by the gentry, with the warrant of the king or without it ; built by local masters, who were themselves influenced by the ones in poitiers, it was kept by the population around. It could protect only against gangs of armed men. Standing on various sites, it has got a plan organized around a dwelling or a keep. It is a model counterpart of the great castle : an enceinte, towers, a chapel, a dwelling or a keep are to be found there ; its decoration, which is rather rich, obviously improved in the second half of the xvth century. When considered in the context of its time, the little castle can be looked upon as a building devoided of any major archeological originality in comparaison with the other countries except for one : the square keep flanked with four turrets projecting out, a type the pattern of which is the keep of vincennes and the "tour maubergeon" in poitiers. It must be neatly differentiated from the fortified house. In each of its elements (its architecture, its decoration), it is a modest duplicate of the great constructions of the late middle ages

The first African American to play in baseball’s recognized major leagues, William Edward White, appeared in 1879, followed by brothers Fleetwood and Welday Walker in 1884. The fourth African American, Jackie Robinson, did not make his major league debut until 1947. This sixty-three year gap has become known as the era of “black baseball”—a time when two generations of African American players were excluded from the existing major leagues. This anthology provides insights into black baseball during this extraordinary time, spotlighting players who characterized its special flavor and spirit. Based on 40 years of research and hundreds of interviews with surviving participants and observers, these essays preserve a crucial time in our country’s history and provide a thoughtful perspective on the Negro Leagues.<br>https://dc.etsu.edu/alumni_books/1032/thumbnail.jpg

Subject of this Master´s thesis is analysis and vocal characterization of female roles in the opera Don Giovanni, composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I decided to divide this subject into several principal parts. Initially I would like to overview the life and work of the author himself. The next part of this thesis examines the opera as whole; its history of origin, plot issues, characters, performance traditions and main differences between traditional interpretations. As next I would like to address female characters in Don Giovanni opera. Finally this paper presents a deep analysis of the three main female characters of the opera with emphasis on vocal characterization and interpretation of their famous representatives. Finally this paper describes general classification of voice types, discuss the overall problematics of tone and voice production and also evaluate the mechanics and functionality of vocal chords from the physiological point of view.

El present estudi és el fruit de la investigació feta en funció dels llibres sagramentals dels arxius de cinc parròquies corresponents als termes de L'Ametlla del Vallés. Bigues, Llissà de Munt, Palaudàries i Sant Feliu de Codines. Totes corresponen a la comarca del Vallés Oriental. Aquest treball s'enquadra dins la línia de recerca oberta per Josep M. Calbet i Camarasa i Jacint Corbella i Corbella amb el seu “Diccionari Biogràfic dels Metges CataIans" (1981), i per Manuel Camps i Clemente i Manuel Camps i Surroca amb la monografia sobre els “Aspectes sanitaris de l’arxiu de Sant Joan de Lleida al segle XVII” (1983). La present tesi forma part doncs d'un treball molt ambiciós, en el que tinc l'honor de participar. Cal investigar la major part dels llibres sagramentals de tota Catalunya, i així tindrem una visió històrica de la nostra medicina que no podem obtenir per cap altre mitjà. Tenim un especial interès en conéixer els professionals que ens van precedir I que van viure situacions històriques delicades, que van desenvolupar la seva tasca d'una forma rudimentària i que ningú no ha recordat. Per altra part creiem també que cal fer una aproximació a la societat d’aquella època per saber com van viure i van treballar, quina era la patologia d'aquests pobles i les seves causes de mort. Els objectius principals han estat: - Coneixement del personal sanitari: Metges, cirurgians, apotecaris, adroguers i llevadores. - Estudi de la mort: Violenta, natural documentada i natural sospitosa. - Les deduccions secundàries: Estudi poblacional, estudi d'epidèmies i de la infància abandonada. Què ha aportat la tesi? - Presentació i elaboració d'unes dades des d'un punt de vista sanitari. - Existència d’un estament sanitari amb un cert reconeixement social. - Evidència d'una mortalitat violenta d'origen divers. morts sobtades i morts naturals. - Detectar períodes de mortalitat elevada. Destaquem la presència elevada d’estrangers en determinats moments. També demostrarem els pocs períodes de pau que viu el Principat. Conclusions S'han valorat principalment els següents aspectes: 1.- Registre del personal sanitari: 138 (31 Metges; 43 Cirurgians; 34 Apotecaris; 9 Adroguers; 21 Llevadores). 2.- Dades sobre mecanismes i causes de mort, principalment les de tipus mèdico-legals: Violentes: 90; documentades: 298; sospitoses: 68. 3.- S' han estudiat 41.859 registres: Naixements: 21.763; matrimonis: 4.747; òbits: 15.349. 4.- Aspectes sobre la mortalitat infantil 5.- Aspectes demogràfics (natalitat, nupcialitat i mortalitat) i nombre de fills per matrimoni: 4,19 6.- Estudi sobre fets epidèmics. 7.- Estudi de les principals nissagues: 8 8.- Estudi de la infància abandonada: 0, 72%<br>“Sanitary events recorded in the parish registers or the Tenes Valley (Montbui-barony) during the XVII and XVIII centuries” The present work is the result of the investigation carried out of the basis of the sacramental books of the parish registers of five villages: L’Ametlla del Vallès, Bigues, Lliçá de Munt, Palaudàries and Sant Feliu de Codines. All these villages are located in the region of the Vallés Oriental. This work is the line of investigation started by Josep M. Calbet i Camarasa and Jacint Corbella i Corbella with their “Diccionari Biogràfic dels Metges CataIans" (1981), and by Manuel Camps i Clemente and Manuel Camps i Surroca with the monograph “Sanitary events of the parish registers of Sant Joan in Lleida in XVII century” (1983). The present thesis is therefore integrating part of a very ambitious work in which l have the honour to participate. We are required to investigate most of the sacramental books of all Catalonia, and in this way we shall obtain an historic vision of our medical science which we could not reach by any other means. We have a special interest in knowing the professionals who have preceded us, who have lived delicate historic actuations, who have developed their work in a precarious environment and who nobody has remembered. Besides of that we also believe that we are to make an approach to the society of that time in order to know how they lived and worked, and how were the pathology of these villages and the cause of death of their inhabitants. We have made a study of all sanitary establishment, of the causes of death (violent, natural documentary and natural suspicious) and of population movements, epidemic diseases and abandoned childhood.

This study undertakes an analytical, historical reconstruction of the rural, social and political space of Baronia di Monreale, currently part of the Medio Campidano province of Sardinia, Italy. The expression “reconstruction of the rural, social and political space” entails an investigation into the various means by which the territory is exploited, the formation and development of economic and political élites in the villages, the various forms of property ownership (conveyancing of land and property), the urban demographic patterns of villages as well as the various typologies of dwellings . The investigation starts off with a historical exploration of the main events in Sardinia in modern times, focusing on those concerning the Monreale area. The central part of the present study is devoted to an in-­‐‑depth analysis of practices of the use of rural, agricultural space from the late Medieval period up to early contemporary times. The research has focused in particular on the creation and development of the estates of large landowners: records and maps in the Land Registry Office have been essential and fundamental research tools, thanks to which a graphic representation of the larger estates was made possible. The following section focuses on the social and political relations within and among the several communities. It was possible to reconstruct the dense network of family relations which linked the Monreale élite to people in the cities and in the rest of the region. In order to do this, both genealogical and the micro-­‐‑historical approaches have been employed, with the purpose of retracing the trajectories and the interconnections which enabled some of the representatives of Monreale families to occupy significant political and military roles in the national arena. The last part of the research has been devoted to the impacts and effects that human intervention had on the rural landscape. Land use, the testamentary dispositions, the conflicts between barons and communities have produced far-­‐‑reaching effects overtime, which have profoundly transformed the modern and contemporary landscape. The main objective of the study is to provide an overview of the several aspects that have contributed to shaping the places which are the subject of this research. The outcomes will have some practical applications in such areas as integrated planning, landscape conservation and development as well as in structured planning in sectors such as agriculture and handicrafts. Archive research was undertaken at Cagliari State Archives, Turin State Archives, Historical Diocesan Archives in Ales and the historical archives in Guspini, San Gavino and Sardara municipalities. The private archives of the Orrù and Diana families were consulted, as was that of the ecclesiastic Lorenzo Tuveri from Sardara.

<p>I dagens samhälle där alltfler köpcentrum byggs och där konkurrensen mellan dem ökar är det av stor betydelse att kunna erbjuda sina kunder något de inte hade förväntat sig för att på så sätt sticka ut ur mängden och bli kundernas självklara val. Ett sätt kan vara att underlätta deras shopping och det är just detta som denna kandidatuppsats kommer att handla om: ”Hur köpcentrum kan underlätta kundernas shopping - En fallstudie på Baronen Köpcentrum”. Syftet är att se vad köpcentrum i allmänhet och Baronen Köpcentrum i synnerhet kan göra för att få kunderna att stanna kvar längre i köpcentrumet genom att underlätta deras shopping.</p><p>Vi har studerat den forskning som råder inom området samt att vi valt att genom ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt samla in data till vår uppsats. Valet av en kvalitativ ansats var självklart då avsikten var att ge våra intervjuobjekt möjlighet att uttrycka sig fritt inom området samt spegla sin syn på det hela. Datainsamlingen har skett genom intervjuer med, enligt oss, relevanta och väl insatta personer inom vårt forskningsområde samt att vi genomfört en enkätundersökning med kunder på Baronen Köpcentrum och gjort observationer av våra egna upplevelser som kunder. Allt med utgångspunkt i de begrepp och faktorer som vi valt att lyfta fram i uppsatsen.</p><p>Resultatet vi kommit fram till styrker att det finns ett behov av att köpcentrum i allmänhet mer aktivt arbetar för att underlätta kundernas shopping. Vi har sett att kunderna låter sig påverkas av de faktorer som vi valt att lyfta fram och därför är det essentiellt för köpcentrum att ta hänsyn till och arbeta med dessa för att ha möjlighet att påverka kunderna på ett för köpcentrumet positivt sätt. Resultatet visar även att det finns en del saker som Baronen Köpcentrum kan förbättra med hänsyn till att underlätta sina kunders shopping. De faktorer vi anser att de i första hand behöver förbättra är toaletterna, skyltningen till dessa samt skyltningen överlag i hela köpcentrumet. För att Baronen Köpcentrum ska kunna erbjuda sina kunder ”Allt under ett tak” anser vi det nödvändigt att komplettera butiksmixen med någon form av livsmedelsbutik.</p><p>Vidare anser vi att Baronen Köpcentrum bättre bör skapa sin unika identitet för att på så sätt särskilja sig från övriga köpcentrum. Detta skulle de kunna göra genom sin design och layout samt genom att skapa ett sammanhållet tema i köpcentrumet som gör att kunderna kommer ihåg just dem. Vi tror att Baronen Köpcentrum har goda möjligheter att genom ett tema skapa en liten ”stad i staden” där de erbjuder sina kunder allt de behöver under ett och samma tak. För detta krävs dock en väl sammanhållen butiksmix som fungerar som ett nätverk där butikerna snarare kompletterar varandra än konkurrerar med varandra.</p>

Baron's work has not been extensively studied nor is it known in full. Critical writings and scholarly attention have focused on the work as representative of Holocaust suffering. This thesis intervenes in that assumption by arguing that it is possible to understand Baron's processes of making collage as a significant case study in the problematic of signification and a complex of differences none of which are reducible to or deducible from each other. Drawing together a range of biographical information, primary source material and close readings of many of Baron's collages (including two hitherto unseen series) traces are revealed of both a maker, an artistic subject finding itself in its own practice, and a making, in the sense of a process that cannot be bound into the singularity of the subject who made it. A framework is established using psychoanalytic theory and second generation Holocaust theory that allows for the possibility of reading into Baron's life story both the symptoms of unresolved conflicts and a particular set of strategies that enabled her to sustain a creative subjectivity. Kristeva's formulation of art as an imaginaire du pardon permits a reading, however tentative, of Baron's art in terms of a poetics of imaginary restoration and reparation in which archaic and traumatic-affects are given the structure of symbolic representation. This is especially pertinent to Baron's fourteen year experience of cancer. Finally, a consideration of Baron's collage making as a process of inscription that is in relation to the body as a coalition of history, memory, corporeality and the psyche is not only significant to contemporary understandings of identity and subjectivity, but also makes it possible to propose an ethical dimension concerned with a feminine understanding of difference.

My purpose in this thesis is to explore the work of Nineteenth Century Condition of England novelists and to identify how and to what extent they addressed issues of industrial safety and used their skills to identify problems. I looked at the developing law of negligence over the period 1830-1880 with particular reference to compensation for injured workpeople and to the role played by the common law judiciary. My researches revealed that one judge, Baron Bramwell, carried great influence but used the common law as a tool to prevent injured employees from recovering damages. I identified Charles Dickens, who was acquainted with Bramwell, as the novelist who had the skills and outlets to make the greatest impression in the fight for reform. I consider whether there was any common ground between Dickens and Bramwell and thus seek to use Literature as a comfortable adjunct to Legal History in telling the story of the law’s development over the period in the field of industrial safety and of the search for an humane compensation system.

La Terra del Marquesat, va ser una entitat baronial creada en 1330 com a donació del rei Alfons el Benigne al seu fill Ferran, va perdura unida fins 1424, encara que el deute públic va continuar creant un fort lligam entre els pobles fins 1496 quan es cancel•len els darrer crèdits. Les decisions polítiques van influir decisivament en l’endeutament públic. Tant els processos de segregació i retorn a la corona, com els canvis de senyoria;el territori va estar en mans d’infants reials, però també de la ciutat de Lleida, nobles com Lluís de Coscó i institucions eclesiàstiques com el Capítol d’Urgell i el monestir de Santa Maria de Bellpuig. El procés d’endeutamentva tenir la màxima intensitatentre 1374 i 1382, quan els pobles de la Terra del Marquesat van aportar diner a la monarquia per reincorporar a el territori a la corona i,que subvencionar les seves empreses amb el subsidi de l’Onzè. Però el deute públic va arribar al seu màxim en 1455 amb el 600% dels ingressos anuals. La política per eixugar el deute té característiques pròpies con l’emissió de moneda local. Les sentencies arbitralsentre senyors i viles i llocs va posar les bases per solucionar el deute públic.<br>La Terra del Marquesat fue una entidad baronial creada en 1330 por la donación de Alfonso el Benigno a un infante real, se mantuvo unida hasta 1424, pero la deuda pública creó un fuerte vínculo entre las poblaciones que lo componían hasta 1496, cuando se cancelaron los últimos créditos. La aproximación a la geografía y la economía de la zona se ha basado en fuentes económicas, y completado con eninformación gráfica, muy inusual para la época. Las decisiones políticas que se tomaron influyeron decisivamente en la deuda pública. Tanto la segregacióny la recuperaciónal patrimonio real, como los cambios de señoría: el territorio estuvo en manos de infantes reales, pero también de la ciudad de Lleida, de nobles como Lluís de Coscó y de instituciones eclesiásticas como el capítulo de Urgel i el monasterio de Santa María de Bellpuig. El proceso de endeudamiento tuvo su máxima intensidad entre 1374 y 1382 cuando los pueblos del territorio aportaron numerario a la monarquía. Pero la deuda llegó a su máximo en 1455 cuando era el 600% de los ingresos anuales. La política de absorción de la deuda tiene características propias como la emisión de moneda local. Las sentencias arbitrales entre señores i villas pusieron las bases para la solución final de la deuda pública.<br>The Land of the Marquisate “Terra del Marquesat” was a baronial entity created in 1330 thanks to the donation of Alfonso IV to his son Ferran. The union villages remained together until 1424, but the debt created a bond among its people until 1496, when the last loans were cancelled. The geography and economy of the area has been based on economical sources, and completed with graphic information, quite unusual at that time. The public debt was highly influenced by the political decisions. Not only the segregation and recovery of the real estate, but member changes; the territory was in the hands of the royal princes, but also the city of Lleida, noblemen like Lluís de Coscó, and ecclesiastical institutions like Chapter of Urgell and the monastery of Santa Maria de Bellpuig. Growth of public debt had its maximum intensity between 1374 and 1382 when the people of the area provided cash to the monarchy. But the process peaked in 1455 when it meant the 600% of annual income. The policy of absorption of the debt has its own characteristics such as the issuance of local currency. The arbitral judgements between gentlemen and villagers laid the basis for the final settlement of the debt.

L'expansió de la societat feudal sobre l'Àndalus en el segle XIII derivà en la conformació de senyories territorials al regne de València, constituït aleshores pel Jaume I d'Aragó. El rei Conqueridor atorgà el feu de Rebollet (1240) a un corsari ennoblit per ell mateix, el lígur Carroccio di Alamanno da Costa (Carròs), que s'ocupà d'assentar colons cristians al castell de Rebollet i a la futura vila d'Oliva, vora la qual instal·là una poblada Moreria. Com ell, el seus successors en l'"honor" de Rebollet (baronia des del 1330, amb mer i mixt imperi) destacaren en les guerres d'expansió meditarrània de la Corona d'Aragó. La seyoria millorà amb la fundació del lloc cristià de la Font d'en Carròs (vers 1330), però fou ocupada i saquejada per Pere el Cruel de Castella (1364-1366), cosa que obligà a reconstruir cases i infraestructures, a repoblar-la i a pactar el senyor amb els vassalls una millora de les condicions d'aquests (1368-1379). Per haver-se extingit la nissaga dels Carròs, Oliva-Rebollet passà als seus parents els Riu-sec i, d'aquests, als Centelles/Riu-sec, vers la fi del segle XIV. Els Centelles d'Oliva s'enfrontaren amb els Vilaragut per l'hegemonia política al regne i obtingueren un gran triomf amb l'entronització de Ferran I d'Aragó (1412). Llavors, Bernat de Centelles impulsava, amb tècnics duts de Silícia (1410), la revolució de la canyamel i dels trapgis de sucre a la Safor. Ell i son fill Francesc-Gilabert I contribuïren a l'expansió itàlica d'Alfons el Magnànim, que atorgà títol de comte d'Oliva a Francesc a Nàpols, el 1449. Retornat a València el 1459, el primer comte destacà pels serveis militars a Joan II d'Aragó en la Guerra Civil Catalana, i augmentà el seu patrimoni senyorial amb l'adquisició de noves senyories. El seu fill Serafí, comte lletraferit, i mecenes d'humanistes, poetes i artistes, fou un dels personatges més influents de la Valància dels anys 1480-1530. Fou important el seu paper a l'hora de sotmetre els agermanats durant la Guerra de la Germania (1520-1522). A més, deixà ornada Oliva amb un magnífic palau goticorenaixentista (1505-1512) i una muralla (1529-1531). El seu nebot i successor, Francesc-Gilabert II alçà la fortalesa de Santa Anna (1543-1545) i altres defenses contra l'ofensiva piràtica turcoberber, però el seu fill i successor, Pere de Centelles, perdré el seny i morí sense descendència (1569). S'obri aleshores una disputa entre parents per la successió al comtat, que fou adjudicat finalment a la duquessa consort de Gandia, Magdalena de Centelles; amb la qual cosa, el comtat d'Oliva passaria a integrar-se en el patrimoni dels Borja, ducs de Gandia (1596).

This dissertation examines the fortunes of two families of the territorial nobility in Paderborn, the barons (Freiherren) of Büren, and the baronets (Adelherren) of Fürstenberg. In doing so, it provides a paradigm for understanding the history of the territory over the course of the period 1550–1650. In contrast to their contemporaries in southern Germany, the nobles of Westphalia, the area of Germany in which Paderborn is located, are relatively under-studied. My research indicates that this area, with its myriad small territories and relative power vacuum, was also a microcosm for the political developments of the Holy Roman Empire. In studying these families, the culture of politics in the early modern Empire is illuminated. This dissertation is arranged thematically, where each chapter uses an incident in this territory to discuss a broad theme. My first chapter discusses the development of a significant party of Protestant nobles in Paderborn, and discusses the creation and reinforcement of noble identity. Particular attention is paid to the cultures of noble friendships and patronage. The political usefulness of the feud is also discussed. The second chapter examines a case of two conversions. Elisabeth von Büren, a recently-widowed Calvinist noblewoman, converted from Protestantism to Catholicism because of her increasingly difficult social and political situation. In contrast, her son Moritz experienced an internal conversion that led him to join the Jesuit order, an act that in time resulted in the extinction of this family. This chapter discusses not only the motivations for each conversion, but also the political uses of these converts, and their conversion narratives. The third chapter follows the political fortunes of two brothers, Kaspar and Dietrich von Fürstenberg. Due to his vocal alliance to the Catholic faction in Paderborn, Dietrich, who was a priest, was able to become an imperial prince. His brother, Kaspar, who was the head of the family, not only benefited from this rise in status, but also had to change his sexual practices in response to his family's increased notoriety. This chapter discusses the effects of the Counter-Reformation in Paderborn in both the public and private spheres. The fourth chapter discusses the descendant of these two men, Ferdinand von Fürstenberg. Thanks to his connections and the political realities in Westphalia after the Thirty Years' War, Ferdinand was able not only to become the prince-bishop of Paderborn, but also to enact administrative reform in the rural parishes and employ irenicism, a proto-secularist philosophy, as an aspect of his foreign policy. Ferdinand's patronage networks are analyzed in the context of post 1648 elite intellectual and cultural life. The last two chapters concentrate on the physical legacy of the two Fürstenberg bishops previously discussed. The fifth chapter discusses the "Reformation of the Landscape" enacted through the building programs of these two bishops. Through the building and decoration of monumental structures, the two bishops helped to impose a Catholic order on the countryside, and erase the signs of the previous, defeated Protestant faction. The final chapter discusses the funerary monuments of the family from which these two bishops came. Although they are scattered throughout the region, the funerary monuments of this family form a coherent propagandistic message, intended to promote their majesty, nobility and Catholicism.

L'oeuvre de frederick william rolfe, baron corvo (londres 1860-venise 1913) se caracterise par l'omnipresence du theme autobiographique tant dans le domaine litteraire que pictural. Du theme autobiographique central decoulent les motifs secondaires (figure du pretre, fascination du pouvoir pontifical, obsession pour la renaissance, amour de l'italie. . . ), sans cesse repris sous des formes toujours renouvelees (poemes, etudes et romans historiques, roman populaire, roman esoterique, roman autobiographique). Pareille approche revele un rapport a l'ecriture concue comme une recherche purement formelle incorporant toutes les formes d'expression artistique pratiquees pr rolfe (ecriture, peinture, photographie. . . ). L'oeuvre de rolfe incarne un moment-clef de la litterature en grande-bretagne au debut du 20eme siecle : des premiers contes fortement tributaires de l'esthetique decadente telle que l'incarnait le yellow book a son dernier roman the desire and pursuit of the whole, archetype de l'oeuvre ouverte, en passant par les recherches linguistiques de don renato, l'histoire de l'oeuvre venant peu a peu se substituer a celle de son auteur, c'est a la naissance de l'experimentalisme et de la modernite en ecriture que nous assistons<br>The literary and pictorial works of frederick william rolfe, baron corvo (london 1860-venice 1913) are characterized by an all-pervading autobiographical theme. All the secondary motifs present in the novels (whether it be rolfe's fascination for the priesthood and the power of the popes, his passion for italy and for the italian renaissance in particular) derive from this central theme. The elements of this deliberately restricted thematic field are treated under endlessly renewed forms that include poetry, historical studies and novels, popular, esoteric or openly autobiographical novels. Such an approach reveals a vision of writing as a purely formal research intent on incorporating all the artistic activities rolfe had practised in the course of his creative career (writing, painting, photography. . . ). Rolfe's literary work stands as a turning point in early twentieth century english literature. While following rolfe's evolution from his early short stories that rely heavily on decadent aesthetics as embodied by the yellow book to the linguistic experiments present in don renato and to his last novel the desire and pursuit of the whole, an archetypal "open" work, one is given to witness, together with the vanishing of the story of the author's life gradually replaced by the history of his literary creation, the birth of modern experimental writing

Contribuye al conocimiento de la nematofauna de A. baroni, estudiada durante el FEN Costero (2017) y un año normal en Piura. Se capturaron 100 roedores A. baroni de los distritos de Cura Mori y Vichayal (Agosto 2017 y 2018). Las vísceras fueron extraídas y fijadas en alcohol de 96° caliente, y preservadas en alcohol de 96° frio. Para la identificación de las especies de nemátodos, se utilizó lactofenol de Aman como aclarante y se preparó láminas temporales para estudiar la morfología de los mismos en el microscopio óptico. Se registraron un total de 11 especies de nematodos, en ambas localidades se encontró dos especies de Litomosoides (L. esslingeri y L. sp.) y tres de Syphacia (sp.1, sp.2 y sp.3). En Cura Mori se encontró Hassalstrongylus sp.1 y sp.2 y Physaloptera galvaoi; en Vichayal se encontró Physaloptera retusa, Pterygodermatites (Paucipectines) sp. y Malvinema sp. En el año 2017 se registraron 8 especies de nemátodos en cada localidad de colecta, mientras que el 2018 solo 5 especies para cada localidad. El 64 % de ejemplares de A. baroni estuvieron parasitados y el total de parásitos fue de 7801 nemátodos. Ambos años predominó el monoparasitismo y biparasitismo en A. baroni, aunque el año 2017 se presentaron más casos de infecciones múltiples (hasta hexaparasitismo). La mayor carga parasitaria se encontró en los roedores procedentes de Cura Mori el año 2017 en un macho con 2160 nemátodos.<br>Tesis
