Muti, Giuseppe. "La criminalité environnementale." Paris 1, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA010586.
Full textAbstract:
La criminalité environnementale est un chapitre privilégié de l'analyse géopolitique des phénomènes criminels parce qu'elle rend transparent les rapport entre territoire et pouvoir au niveaux multiscalaire. Délit à caractère transnational, le crime environnemental trouve son origine dans l'illégalité banalisée et encourage une culture de l'illégalité. Mafias, organisations criminelles, crimes économiques et crime du politique sont au même temps engagées dans les spécialités criminelles contre l'environnement: vol et trafic d'œuvres d'art et fouilles archéologiques clandestines ; trafic d'espèces protégées animales et végétales; édifications sans permis et conditionnement des marchés publics des infrastructures et de l'aménagement du territoire ; trafic de déchets. L'Union européenne viens d'approuver une décision cadre pour la protection de l'environnement par le droit pénal. Le cas italien permet un approfondissement théorique intéressant concernent mafias et corruption.

Champeyrache, Clotilde. "L'entreprise légale-mafieuse : contribution critique à la théorie des droits de propriété." Paris 1, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA010064.
Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de la thèse est de construire un cadre théorique et analytique pour comprendre la signification économique des entreprises légales-mafieuses, c'est-à- dire des entreprises légales du point de vue de l'activité mais mafieuses du point de vue de la propriété. Un tel cadre repose sur la théorie des droits de propriété dans la mesure où la propriété est à la base de la spécificité de ce type d'entreprises. Par ailleurs, les droits de propriété se rapportent à l'économie du droit et reflètent ainsi les commixtions entre légalité et illégalité. Dans un premier temps, je place le cadre analytique en expliquant quels sont les outils théoriques offerts par la théorie des droits de propriété, en général et par rapport aux activités économiques (aussi bien légales qu'illégales) exercées par des mafieux. Dans un deuxième temps, je fonde une hypothèse nouvelle en théorie des droits de propriété en construisant et validant la non neutralité de l'identité des propriétaires. La référence est faite au débat entre Coase (1960) et Demsetz (1988). Pour Coase, la réallocation des droits de propriété d'un agent à un autre est neutre du point de vue de l'efficience. Demsetz considère qu'une telle affirmation n'a pas de sens si le problème de l'allocation des droits de propriété est traité dans un cadre dynamique : l'effet de revenu qui découle de toute réallocation change le mix final d'outputs. Demsetz énonce cela comme " le problème de l'identité des propriétaires ". Ma thèse cherche à donner des bases plus étendues au dit problème par référence aux entreprises légales-mafieuses. D'un point de vue empirique, je mets en évidence des processus mafieux qui valident la non neutralité de l'identité quand le propriétaire est mafieux, tels que l'usage des droits de propriété mutuelle, la rareté artificielle, l'effet de verrouillage sur les droits de propriété. La thèse finit par une évaluation économique d'une loi italienne permettant la confiscation des entreprises légales-mafieuses.

Full textAbstract:
Notre thèse porte sur la culture politique sicilienne et son histoire, notamment sur l’idée d’autonomie. Nous analysons les documents, aussi bien historiques que littéraires, qui présentent des traces de cette culture politique à la nature complexe, originale et obscure. En tant qu’élaboration idéologique, l’autonomie existe depuis les premières formes de rhétorique nationale nées après les Vêpres. Cette aspiration à l’autogouvernement qui se cachait derrière un discours nationaliste visait à vider le pouvoir central et à le transférer dans les mains des pouvoirs périphériques constituées par les classes dirigeantes locales. Une fois considérée la longue histoire de la culture politique sicilienne et de ses principales traditions, on saisit sous une lumière différente la ‘conquête’ du Statut autonomiste obtenu au lendemain de la deuxième guerre mondiale. Nous étudions aussi la faillite du modèle de développement industriel dans les soixante ans suivant l’approbation du Statut et de ses articles économiques riparazionistici, qui visent la réparation des dégâts historiques provoqués par l’État italien à travers des financements sans échéance prévue. L’analyse des enjeux du nationalisme et de l’autonomie dans l’histoire ancienne et plus récente de l’île permet de mettre en lumière un élément central du système politique sicilien : la violence en tant qu’instrument de gestion des tensions dérivant de l’administration des ressources économico-fiscales par les pouvoirs périphériques. L’histoire de la violence politique nous mène à enquêter sur certains aspects de l’origine de la mafia au XIXe siècle et de ses développements au long du XXe siècleThis dissertation focuses on Sicilian political culture and its history, particularly in connection with the concept of autonomy. It analyzes historical documents and literary texts that all bear traces of this political culture with its complex, unique, and shadowy character. The first articulations of autonomy in specifically ideological terms appear in the early forms of national rhetoric mobilized after the Sicilian Vespers. Within nationalist discourse, the aspiration for self-government remains inseparable from efforts to eliminate a central pole of power, displacing and distributing authority, transferring it instead to the hands of the local governing classes who form peripheral power nodes. When contextualized within the long history of Sicilian political culture and its main traditions, the so-called conquest of the Special Sicilian Statute granted at the end of the Second World War appears in a new light. This dissertation also examines the failure of the industrial model for development in the 60 years following the approval of the statute and its articles concerning the economic riparazionismo, which sought to provide reparation for the historic damage caused by the Italian state and its practice of allocating funding but not defining timetables. Analysis of the stakes that nationalism and autonomy put in play throughout the history of the island highlights the centerpiece of the Sicilian political system : the use of violence as an instrument to manage tensions caused by peripheral nodes of power administering economic and financial resources. The history of this political violence leads us to investigate certain aspects of the origins of the Mafia in the 19th century and of its development in the 20th century

Full textAbstract:
Dans une Italie habitée par la présence séculaire du crime organisé, communément appelé "Mafia", l'apparition sur la scène publique de l'expression du mécontentement populaire, survenu dans les années 1980, apparue comme un phénomène nouveau sous la forme dont elle s'est manifestée. Témoins d'un rejet populaire massif des exactions mafieuses sans précédent, les années 1980-1990 ont été le théâtre de ce qui fut spontanément appelé par la presse et nombreux observateurs "la naissance de la société civile italienne", véritable "réveil populaire" mettant ainsi fin à la loi du silence. Cette période a ainsi constitué un tournant radical dans l'histoire des luttes antimafia en Italie ; inédit de par son ampleur et par ses modes d'expression, cet élan citoyen le fut tout autant par son hétérogénéité que par sa capacité fédératrice réunissant l'ensemble de la société, dans le but de défendre l'intérêt général. Cette vague citoyenne antimafia survenue à cette période de l'histoire italienne pose de nombreuses questions auxquelles ce travail tente d'apporter des réponses : pourquoi à ce moment précis et pas avant ? Quels sont les facteurs qui ont entraîné l'émergence de cette révolte populaire dans l'espace public ? En quoi ce refus de la mafia par les citoyens italiens rompt-il avec les luttes du passé ? Mais aussi, qui sont les protagonistes de ce rejet massif ? Quels sont leurs modes et leurs champs d’actions, leurs objectifs ? Et enfin, quel est l'impact de la lutte citoyenne antimafia, si il existe, au regard des quelques dix à quinze années de recul que nous avons face au phénomène ?In an Italy inhabited by the secular presence of organized crime, commonly called "mafia", the appearance on the public stage of the expression of popular discontent occurred in the 1980s, appeared as a new phenomenon as it has manifested itself. Witnesses of a massive popular rejection of the mafia unprecedented abuses 1980-1990 have been the theatre of what was spontaneously called by the press and many observers the birth of the Italian civil society, real "alarm popular" thus terminating the law of silence. This period has been radical turning point in the history of Italian antimafia struggles ; unpublished by its magnitude and by its modes of expression, this citizen momentum was all provided by its heterogeneity by unifying capacity comprising the whole of society, in order to defend the general interest. This citizen wave antimafia occurred during that period of Italian history raises many questions to which this work tries to provide answers: why at this precise and not before time? What are the factors which led to the emergence of this popular revolt in public space? What this refusal of the mafia by Italian citizens stop with the struggles of the past? But, who are the protagonists of this massive rejection? What are their modes and their fields of actions, their objectives? And finally, what is the impact of the citizen fight antimafia, if there are, to the next few ten to fifteen years back we face the phenomenon?

La Province de Caserta, en Campanie, est un lieu de concentration des flux migratoires au Sud de L'Italie. Les migrant qu’y arrivent « illégalement » ou « irrégulièrement », du Nord de l’Afrique comme de l’Europe orientale, trouvent dans ce territoire des opportunités de travail et d’habitation, grâce à la présence d’un marché du travail au noir et d’un marché immobilier déréglementé, résultat de l’urbanisation sauvage et des spéculations. Les travailleurs immigrés se trouvent à vivre une condition existentiale marquée par la marginalisation, la pauvreté, l’exploitation et la violence :cette condition à des effets sur leur santé, physique et mentale. Cette étude veut analyser la relation entre migration, santé et inégalité sociale, à travers une ethnographies des services sanitaires pour les immigrés. Cependant, en Campanie ces services sont réalisé et gérés à travers des accords entre les institutions sanitaires locales et les association de bénévolat et les organisation humanitaires internationales, comme Médecines Sans Frontières. Cette ethnographie, donc, est aussi une analyse du rapport entre gestion humanitaire de la migration et politiques de citoyenneté en Italie, un rapport qui semble caractériser de plus en plus le gouvernement des migrations.
Enfin, étant le territoire de la Province de Caserta caractérisé par la présence des organisations criminelles mafieuse, j’analyserais les effets de cette présence, soi en ce qui concerne la migration, soi en ce qui concerne la vie des citoyens italiens.

Full textAbstract:
Les associations contribuent à garder en vie les espaces de pluralisme indispensables à la démocratie. Un lien est établi entre vitalité associative et production de capital social, car les associations participent à la généralisation de la confiance, nécessaire au bon fonctionnement institutionnel et économique. Cependant, la notion de capital social se fonde sur des postulats discutables : l’un « déterministe » et l’autre « libéraliste ». Ainsi, à partir d’une réalité « complexe », celle de la Sicile, nous avons essayé de déconstruire ces a priori théoriques. Ceci afin d’utiliser la notion de capital social dans un cadre interprétatif plus ample qui, d’une part ne s’arrête pas à la seule analyse des interactions sociales au sein des réseaux mais prend en compte la nature spécifique de leur contexte. Et, d’autre part, puisse réintroduire les modalités d’interaction entre associations et pouvoirs publics ainsi que le rôle des institutions dans la production de capital socialNon-profit organizations (NPO) help in keeping alive those pluralist places which are vital for democracy making processes. The link between the vitality of the voluntary sector and the production of social capital is established because NPO take an active part in the confidence spreading process which is necessary for smooth institutional and economic management. However, the concept of social capital is based on arguable postulates: a «determinist» and a «liberal» one. In the thesis, we have thus tried to deconstruct these theoretical a priori constructions in the complex reality of Sicily in order to use the concept of social capital in a wider interpretative framework. This interpretative framework is thus not limited to the exclusive analysis of social interactions within networks but takes into account the specific nature of their background. Hence, it is possible to re-introduce the modalities of interaction between NPO and authorities as well as the role of the institutions in the production of social capital

Full textAbstract:
Si la mafia est un objet d’étude, certes récent, l’antimafia reste en revanche un trou noir de l’historiographie du Mezzogiorno alors que les assasssinats des représentants de l’État sont des moments de tenisons dans l’histoire de l’Italie républicaine. Nous avons choisi de concentrer notre attention sur quatre figures emblématiques assassinées au cours des crises de violence mafieuse de 1982 et 1992 : Pio La Torre (député et secrétaire régional du PCI) ; Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa (assassiné alors qu’il était préfet de Palerme) ; Giovanni Falcone et Paolo Borsellino (magistrats). Afin d’observer le processus de construction d’une mémoire publique de la lutte contre la mafia, nous utilisons un panel de sources typique de l’histoire du temps présent, archives, presse, productions mémorielles écrites et audiovisuelles, mais aussi des sources orales grâce aux entretiens réalisés lors de notre enquête de terrain. Ces sources nous permettent tant de comprendre le contexte que d’analyser l’évolution des représentations des martyrs de la lutte contre la mafia.La première partie est consacrée à l’étude du moment des assassinats et de la construction d’une mémoire immédiate. L’analyse de la presse au lendemain des crises de violence mafieuse fait émerger les caractéristiques de la mémoire immédiate des victimes et révèle un mobilisation civile antimafia sans précédent. La deuxième partie s’intéresse à la construction et à l’institutionnalisation de la mémoire des victimes, à travers l’étude des commémorations et des représentations. L’analyse croisée des différentes sources met au jour les différentes strates de la construction mémorielle. Enfin, la troisième partie montre que la mémoire de l’antimafia, bien qu’institutionnalisée et structurée, est en réalité une mémoire tourmentée, comme le démontrent les manquements de la justice, les usages politiques de la mémoire de l’antimafia ou le conditionnement des commémorations décennales par l’actualité. Faire l’histoire de la mémoire de l’antimafia nous permet ainsi de révéler, sous un jour nouveau, un certain nombre de tensions qui caractérisent l’Italie contemporaine. La mémoire de la lutte contre la mafia apparaît donc comme un observatoire privilégié pour examiner les mutations politiques, sociétales et culturelles de l’Italie républicaineThough the Mafia has become recently an object of study, the Antimafia remains a black hole in the historiography of the Mezzogiorno while the assassinations of officials constitute tense moments in the history of Republican Italy. We have chosen to focus our attention on four emblematic figures that were murdered by the Mafia over its 1982 and 1992 outbursts of violence: Pio La Torre (deputy and regional secretary of the PCI); Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa (assassinated while he was Palermo prefect); Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino (magistrates). In order to observe how a public memory of the fight against the Mafia was built, we use a panel of sources that is typical of the present time history: archives, press, written and audiovisual memory productions, but also oral sources thanks to the interviews we lead during our field investigation. These sources allow us to understand the context as well as to analyze the evolution of the representations of the anti-mafia fight’s martyrs.The first part is dedicated to the study of the moment when these four officials were assassinated and an immediate memory built. The analysis of the press, in the wake of the outbursts of violence of the Mafia, brings out the characteristics of the immediate memory of victims, and reveals an unprecedented anti-mafia civil mobilization. The second part deals with the elaboration and the institutionalization of the victims’ memory, through the study of the commemorations and the representations. The cross-study analysis of our various sources brings to light the different strata of the memory elaboration. Finally the third part shows that the anti-mafia memory, though institutionalized and structured, is actually a tormented memory, as is revealed by the justice breaches, the political uses of the anti-mafia memory or the conditioning effect of current events on the decennial commemorations. Making the history of the anti-mafia memory thus allows us to reveal under a new light a number of tensions that are characteristic of contemporary Italy. Therefore the memory of the fight against the Mafia appears as a privileged observatory to examine the political, societal and cultural mutations of Republican Italy

Full textAbstract:
La ricerca sull'espansione territoriale delle mafie italiane si è spesso limitata all'analisi di una singola organizzazione o di un solo paese. I pochi studi con una prospettiva più ampia non esaminano in dettaglio come organizzazioni mafiose diverse operano in paesi diversi. Per colmare tale vuoto conoscitivo, questo studio analizza la presenza di Cosa Nostra, Camorra e 'Ndrangheta in Europa, con l'obiettivo di individuare modelli di espansione mafiosa.
Lo studio combina varie fonti di informazione e diversi livelli di analisi. Dapprima, utilizza rapporti ufficiali per mappare la presenza delle mafie italiane in Europa ed identificarne le principali caratteristiche. Successivamente, approfondisce tre casi di studio paese e, sulla base di interviste con esperti, analizza come le diverse organizzazioni operano nei diversi paesi.
I risultati mostrano che i fattori legati al territorio e al tipo di attività prevalgono sulle caratteristiche dell'organizzazione nel definire i modelli di espansione mafiosa. Le mafie italiane si concentrano in alcuni paesi Europei e in determinate aree all'interno dello stesso paese. Il traffico di droga è la caratteristica più ricorrente della loro presenza in Europa. La 'Ndrangheta è l'unica organizzazione ad aver riprodotto le proprie strutture all'estero, sebbene ciò non avvenga in tutti i paesi Europei in cui è presente.Research on the spatial mobility of Italian mafias has frequently adopted a narrow approach, focusing on only one type of mafia or a single country. The few studies with a broader perspective do not examine in detail how different mafias operate across different countries. This study addresses these gaps by providing a first comprehensive analysis of the presence of Cosa Nostra, the Camorra and the 'Ndrangheta across Europe, with the aim of identifying patterns of mafia mobility. The study combines different data sources and different levels of analysis. Drawing from official reports, it firstly maps the spread of the Italian mafias in Europe and identifies the main characteristics of their presence abroad. Secondly, it focuses on three country case studies and, based on expert interviews, compares how different mafias operate across different countries. The results show that country-related and activity-related characteristics prevail over organizational ones in determining patterns of mafia mobility. Italian mafias concentrate in a few European countries and in specific areas within a country. Drug trafficking is the most recurrent feature of their presence abroad. The 'Ndrangheta is the only mafia which has a structured presence in Europe, although it does not reproduce its structures in all foreign countries.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis 'The Phenomenon of Italian Mafia and the Possibility of its Elimination' focuses on the permanent existence of the Mafia in Italy without major success in the fight against its illegal activities. Firstly, I will explore the origin and development of the Mafia and factors pertaining to why it wasn't recognized exclusively as a criminal organization before the late 20th century; a view shaped by a cultural-historical and linguistic analysis of this ever-powerful institution. Following this, I will address specific strategies used in the fight against the Mafia to support the hypothesis that cooperation between its penitent former members and the judiciary, in conjunction with the existence of effective legislative measures, is a decisive and effective method for the possible destruction of the Mafia.

Full textAbstract:
Carlo Maria Maggi (1630-1699), poète et dramaturge lombard, propose, dans ses cinq comédies dialectales, une réforme de la comédie : dans une tension entre formation jésuite conservatrice et volonté de renouveau moral par la satire sociale, il établit une dramaturgie du moindre mal. Elle se fonde sur la vertu aristotélicienne de l’eutrapélie pour éviter les excès. Synonyme de la demi-mesure et du juste milieu, le moindre mal théâtral est la solution pour lutter contre le désenchantement (nécessaire) du monde. L’étude littéraire, linguistique et l’histoire des spectacles permettent de forger cette dramaturgie de la comédie droite et modeste, que lui-même n’a jamais explicitée. Maggi est envisagé sous trois angles: l’homme du siècle c'est-à-dire l’élève et l’ami des jésuites, formé à leur école de l’oralité et le poète, qui, de l’éloge pétrarquisant d’éros, passe à la célébration de l’amour divin. Cet homme du siècle expérimente les genres théâtraux, de la pastorale aux drames en musique, suivant une veine comique qui annonce ses comédies. Maggi est ensuite dramaturge : il centre sa satire sur la ville. La comédie nouvelle est urbaine : la Milan des affaires, celle du cloître et celle des salons sont autant d’occasions d’édifier son public par l’arme du plurilinguisme et de l’ironie, faisant émerger un mythe du bon peuple urbain, avec son personnage clé: Meneghino. Maggi est enfin chorège (organisateur de spectacles) et l’on comprend de l’étude des conditions de représentations au Collège des Nobles de Milan l’importance de la conjoncture dans l’écriture des comédies, les ancrant profondément dans leur époque et limitant leur fortune théâtrale dans les siècles suivantsIn his five dialectical comedies, Lombard playwright Carlo Maria Maggi (1630-1699) proposed to reform comedy. In between his conservative Jesuitical education and his search for moral renewal through social satire, Maggi elaborated a dramaturgy of the lesser evil based on Aristotle’s eutrapely, which is to limit excess. The lesser evil, a synonym for half-measures and the happy medium, is the perfect antidote to disillusionment. Through a literary and linguistic analysis and a study of past performances of the plays, this dramaturgy of an upright and modest comedy, never theorized by Maggi himself, becomes apparent. First, Maggi is viewed as a man of his century. He is seen as both the student and friend of the Jesuits, who educated him in the oral tradition, and as the poet, who evolved from the praise of Eros in Petrarch’s style towards a celebration of God’s love. He experimented with different dramatic genres, from pastoral to melodrama, following a comic thread that would lead him to write his comedies. Maggi is also a playwright, his satire focusing on the city. This new comedy was urban: taking Milan’s business life, clergy, and sociability as themes, he was able to educate his audience, using plurilingualism and irony, thus creating the myth of the good urban people and its symbolic character, Meneghino. Finally, Maggi is a corago who is to stage plays, and only after studying the conditions of creation at Milan’s Collegio de’ Nobili, is it possible to assess the sheer importance of the historical context in the process of writing the comedies. Being deeply anchored in the late 17th century, they were to have limited success on the stage in the centuries to come

Full textAbstract:
Questa dissertazione e imperniata sulla parola masca, che denota un personaggio popolare e antichissimo di genere femminile, riscontrabile esclusivamente nel folclore e nella letterature della regione italiana del Piemonte. Si attribuisce a questo personaggio la facolta rarissima di esercitare tanto il bene che il mate, a seconda de¡ casi.La tesi si basa su ricerche storiche e linguistiche che traggono i loro dati dai recessi piu remoti della civilta celtica in territorio piemontese, dove essa e prosperata dall'inizio del 4° secolo a.C. fino al 1° secolo della nostra era, epoca alta quale questa regione fu inglobata dall'impero romano.
Basandosi su dati storici e archeologici, la ricerca prende atto di un substrato celtico persistente e profondo nella cultura e nella tradizione piu antiche del Piemonte. In modo particolare si concentra l'attenzione sulla derivazione dei personaggio della masca da una figura religiosa dei Druidi, venerata fervidamente dai Celti, i quali attribuivano a questa divinita il dualismo tipico (bene-male) che si riscontra nel personaggio oggetto di questo studio.
In seguito si traccia il discrimine tra la masca e le streghe demoniache con cui la prima e spesso e del tutto erroneamente confusa ed associata. Una volta tracciata questa distinzione si possono riallacciare i legami tra la masca e il suo sacrale pristino ove ('equilibrio sotteso tra bene e mate e permanente e inestricabile dagli attributi fondamentali della dea celtica centrale, la Grande Madre.
Le ricerche etimologiche per appurare l'origine della parola masca non fanno che confermare la dualita e l'equilibrio tra il bene e il mate inevitabilmente compresente in questa parola e nel personaggio ch'essa denota.
Si passa in rassegna la tradizione orale e la letteratura del Piemonte (tanto in lingua piemontese che in lingua italiana) per, inventariare i diversi significati che possono assumere questa parola e questo personaggio. Si perviene a dimostrare che la dicotomia di valori e di poteri contrastanti insiti nella religione dei druidi rimane ad un dipresso la stessa nel personaggio delta masca. Ci si puo imbattere in questo dualismo di valori opposti e antitetici anche in altri personaggi del folclore piemontese, strettamente connessi alta masca, quali il mascon, i1 setmin o anche in personaggi mitologici, come la faja, il faunet e il servan.
La somma di queste prove letterarie, folcloriche, archeologiche e filologiche avalla l'attribuzione di un carattere unico, non demoniaco, al personaggio della masca, che riannoda strettamente la letteratura e la tradizione orale del Piemonte alta religione dei druidi e al passato celtico, fornendo altresi scorci preziosi su uno dei capitoli piu oscuri del passato delle etnie europee.

Full textAbstract:
By relying mainly on court cases and interviews with pentiti (people who turned state's evidence), this thesis shows that the role of women in the Italian mafia has significantly changed since 1945. Beyond performing their traditional role, including transmitting mafia values, encouraging vendetta, guaranteeing men's honour and participating in arranged marriages, women started to be involved in criminal activities. Through an historical approach, this thesis demonstrates that changes in the mafia in terms of businesses and structure, and changes in Italian women's conditions have been contributory factors to the above process. This thesis identifies those historical conjunctures where the supply and demand of female labour met within the last thirty years. Since the 1970s, the expansion of drug trafficking and the subsequent accumulation of vast sums of money to be recycled led the mafia to employ women who were also trustworthy and above suspicion. The mafia's need to involve women occurred also in the early 1980s and in the early-mid 1990s when the state improved its battle against the mafia. As many mafia bosses were imprisoned or went underground women assumed temporary leadership positions. The mafia's need for workers was concomitant with the changes in women's conditions in the legal world, resulting in the gradual dissolution of gender barriers and the growth of female education, which made women more likely to be employed by organised crime. This thesis argues that the new female participation in the mafia was not the result of a concession of equality within the mafia labour market. General indicators, such as the persistence of patriarchal relations and women's economic dependence, temporary allocation of power to women during periods of emergency, use of female labour in low profile jobs, and exclusion of women from career opportunities, suggest that the increasing public presence of women in the mafia, beyond mere supportive and private roles, was the result of a process of female `pseudo-emancipation'. On the contrary, women who turned state's evidence were examples of female liberation since they chose to reject the male dominated mafia system.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references.In this thesis I examine the work of the tum-of-the century Sicilian writer, Maria Messina (1887-1944). Relatively prolific, she received attention from some of the major critics of her day. But her works were forgotten after her death until the early 1970s. Messina's works are significant for their contribution to the understanding of both women's literature and the position of the woman in a patriarchal society during the period of Fascist control of Italy. Although there is growing interest in Messina's works, no full-length study exists which combines a general overview of her writings in their historical and cultural context with an accurate biographical history, which also includes unpublished and rare documents by and on Messina. This thesis fills this gap. All available criticism of Messina's writings, both from the early Twentieth century and from the last twenty years has been taken into account. This comprises the overlooked and forgotten reviews from journals and newspapers as well as the recent German and American ones. The corpus of the known works by Messina has been increased by tracing unknown publications in literary journals of the 1910s and 1920s. Messina's known published correspondence has been increased by the discovery of her unpublished letters to Alessio DiGiovanni, which span the years 1910-40, and those to Enrico Bemporad. The former provide new knowledge of her life, cultural formation and social interaction. The latter serve as documents for her publishing history and her private life in general. A more historically accurate picture of Messina's life and work can now be formed, not only from the unpublished letters but also from the documents and certificates obtained from archives and municipal records. On the strength of internal and external evidence, not previously taken into account, a detailed biography and personality sketch of Messina and an assessment of her cultural and literary formation have now been provided. The literary analysis examined Messina's short stories and novels on a separate basis, while taking into account certain themes which were central to both genres. Rediscovered short stories were found to contribute greatly to a balanced understanding of Messina's subject matter: the tormented mother-child relationship, the dichotomy between greed and need, the ambivalent stance towards love. The analysis of the novels also revealed new insight into Messina's attitude towards the female condition within society. The present feminist-oriented criticism on Messina has tended to overlook her ambiguous representation of the career-woman. Nor has it been aware of the progressive weakening and elimination of the authoritative male figure. These aspects have been seen to be the externalisation of Messina's attitude towards Fascism. In her historical context, on one level Messina appears to accept and transmit Fascism's idealisation of the wife and mother and the glorification of the rural and traditional ways of life. On another level she denounces Fascist doctrine by ridiculing its cardinal symbol of the virile male. While considering Messina's writings as important literary and sociological documents of the condition of the woman in a critical historical moment, the analysis of the text is not oriented from the sole perspective of feminist criticism, which would have been too restrictive. It is instead conducted from a general critical perspective, moving from the texts themselves in order to assess their structural, thematic, stylistic and symbolic components. Research was carried out in the principal libraries of Italy and those in which Messina resided - Rome, Florence, Urbino, Naples, Palermo, Catania, Pistoia - for published and unpublished material written on and by Messina. Searches for biographical information and documents were carried out in all the centres in which Messina lived. Family members and descendents of her friends were contacted. The material obtained was used to compile a biographical history and analyses of her writings.

Full textAbstract:
The organised crime industry on a whole generates an estimated gross criminal product of $800 billion USD annually generated from traditional crime industries like money laundering, cigarette and narcotics trafficking and prostitution. As a result of the new, globalised world, organised crime is diversifying its activities, penetrating legal sectors and further corrupting political systems. In general, it has been quick to adjust to the new economic opportunities and new technologies that this global village has to offer, and has been far more efficient in exploiting every available opportunity than its police and justice counterparts in preventing it from doing so. The face of international organised crime has changed to include new, sometimes smaller, often more dangerous actors, and has seen the traditional crime families metamorphose to keep up with the new environment. Diversification, penetration, legitimisation are the new guiding motto. The Sicilian Cosa Nostra has sought alternative ways to generate additional profits whilst reducing the risk factor. In order to branch-out, escape prosecution and yet remain within a pivotal and strategic position, the Cosa Nostra has chosen, amongst other havens, the French Riviera. Today, political and popular mobilisation and interest in combating organised crime is minimal, largely relegated to folklore status, crime annals, and the cinema industry. However, no judicial tool or innovation can have concrete and effective applications if the political will is not predominant and if concerted international co-operation is not enforced. The risk, should this trend continue, is that organised crime will become a dominant and decisive actor in State affairs, may continue to take over unstable micro-states and pervert the democratic process and the rule of law around the world. The threat is not so much to stand by and wait as crime develops further, but how long this lack of reaction can continue before it becomes irreversible.

La première crise frappe les établissements urbains à partir de la moitiè du IVe siècle, et s'achevera deux siècles plus tard avec les effets de la guerre gréco-gothique et le massacre de l'aristocratie accompli par les Goths par mesure de rétorsion. La conquête byzantine de l'Italie méridionale apportera une première phase de bien-être dont témoigne la fondation de nouvelles cités et de castra de hauteur qui viendront remplacer, comme type d'établissement, beaucoup des installations ouvertes de plaine d'époque romaine. L'avance lombarde, commencée à la fin du VIe siècle, conduira à une nouvelle et profonde crise économique et sociale, qui s'achevera entre la fin du VIIe et la première moitié du VIIIe siècle avec la dernière vague de la "peste de Justinien".

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation reconstructs the original form and sixteenth-century decoration of the lost Venetian church of Santa Maria Assunta dei Crociferi, destroyed after the suppression of the Crociferi in 1656 to make way for the present church of the Gesuiti. The destruction of the church, the scattering of its contents, and the almost total lack of documentation of the religious order for which the space was built, has obscured our understanding of the many works of art it once contained, produced by some of the most important Venetian artists of the sixteenth century. This project seeks to correct scholarly neglect of this important church, and to restore context and meaning to these objects by reconstructing their original placement in the interest of a collective interpretation. Various types, patterns and phases of patronage at the church—monastic, private and corporate—are discussed to reveal interconnections between these groups, and to highlight to role of the Crociferi as architects of a sophisticated decorative programme that was designed to respond to the latest artistic trends, and to visually demonstrate their adherence to orthodoxy at a moment of religious upheaval and reform.

During the past few years cooperation between the EU member states has expanded considerably in areas such as justice and homeland affairs. International cooperation in criminal justice has become more important as borders between EU countries has been lifted and because of this, various criminal groups have also had more opportunities to commit crimes cross borders. The Italian mafia groups in particularly have been operating in almost every country in Europe and have exploited the possibilities offered by the EU. The increase of organized crime in Europe has created a demand for EU to step up their actions against the organized crime. The purpose of this essay is to investigate exactly how the significant EU is has been in battling organized crime in Italy. The study is a case study based on the work importance of the EU in the fight against organized crime in Italy. The main research questions of the paper are: How does the Italian government work to fight organized crime? How does the EU work to fight organized crime?Italian government use the EU to fight organized crime in Italy? What does the EU do to fight organized crime in Italy? To what extent is this cooperation effective? This investigative report concludes that the EU has over the years established many different action plans, directives and organizations. All of which the Italian government has chosen to implement. The result of this has been that Italy’s opportunities to battle organized crime has improved and they are today seen as a role model for the other member states on how to battle organized crime in cooperation with the EU. the EU does not have much importance for Italy’s fight against organized crime. ToHowever, to be able to play a more important role the EU needs to establish clear guidelines and formal agreements on how to battle organized crime on an international level.

Full textAbstract:
L’obiettivo dell’elaborato è analizzare il fenomeno delle organizzazioni criminali e la di esse diffusione in Germania, focalizzando l’attenzione in particolar modo sulla percezione che il popolo tedesco ne ha e sui metodi con i quali queste operano e portano a termine i loro affari. In particolare, il primo capitolo tratterà il fenomeno di negazione e razionalizzazione che caratterizza l’approccio del paese tedesco nei confronti delle organizzazioni mafiose e la facilità con cui queste ultime riescono ad insabbiare le tracce del proprio operato. Nel capitolo successivo sarà invece trattato il processo di modernizzazione (attivo da qualche decennio all’interno delle mafie) che ha portato ad un rinnovamento dei modi operandi, tra i quali non dominano più le richieste del pizzo, il traffico di droga o le faide tra famiglie, e si arriverà così a definire il volto della mafia odierna, la quale preferisce generalmente rimanere nell’ombra, infiltrandosi nelle istituzioni. A questo proposito, nel terzo capitolo sarà inserita la proposta di traduzione di due estratti del libro del giornalista e scrittore tedesco Jürgen Roth Mafialand Deutschland, i quali tratteranno due casi di cronaca che hanno fatto scalpore, in particolare l’abuso di potere subito dal vicesindaco di Strausberg Friedhelm Zapf e la vicenda giudiziaria nata dall’aggressione a scopo intimidatorio nei confronti dell’imprenditore Martin Klockzin, e saranno pertanto volti ad evidenziare, rispettivamente, la corruzione nella classe politica e nella giustizia tedesche. Le tecniche di cui mi sono avvalsa e le difficoltà riscontrate nella traduzione dei suddetti estratti saranno analizzate, infine, nel quarto e ultimo capitolo.

Full textAbstract:
La recherche effectuée est une étude sur la littérature chevaleresque dont le fil conducteur est la légende de Roland, mort à Roncevaux. L’objectif est d’identifier les origines de la geste de Roland et d’analyser la place du héros dans la littérature chevaleresque française puis italienne. L’évolution de la figure de Roland, en France et en Italie, est analysée en trois parties qui présentent les étapes de la transformation du personnage : la naissance dans la littérature française, la diffusion en Italie et l’apogée italienne avec Boiardo et l’Arioste. Les éléments, qui dans la tradition française lient la littérature chevaleresque à la réalité historique, sont, dans la péninsule italienne, privés progressivement de leur signification première. Légué par l’histoire carolingienne, le personnage de Roland est porteur de différentes valeurs selon les époques (le Moyen Age ou la Renaissance) et selon les pays (la France ou l’Italie). La légende de Roland conserve des traits communs au cours des siècles, mais, pour survivre, le héros s’adapte aux différents publics. En effet, selon les goûts culturels, la geste de Roland est un instrument de propagande religieuse ou politique, un passe-temps populaire divulgué par les giullari ou une distraction appréciée par le public des cours. Les pratiques d’écriture et la configuration spatio-temporelle sont si diverses qu’elles produisent des univers chevaleresques variés et un personnage littéraire qui devient hybride : à la différence du Roland français qui combat pour son Dieu et pour son Seigneur, le Roland italien, comme Tristan et Lancelot, est poussé à l’aventure par l’Amour, jusqu’à l’épuisement de ce filon littéraireThe present researchwork studies chivalrous literature and more specifically the legend of Roland dying at Roncevaux. It aims at identifying the origins of the geste de Roland and at analyzing the role of the hero through chivalrous literature, first in France, then in Italy. The evolution of the figure of Roland, in France and in Italy, is analyzed; three parts are devoted to it, representing the stages of the transformation of the figure: the French literary origin, its diffusion throughout Italy and the Italian culmination with Boiardo and Ariosto. The elements tying up chivalrous literature to historical reality, in the French tradition, are, in Italy, deprived, step by step, of their original meaning. Inherited from Carolingian history, the figure of Roland embodies values that vary depending on the period (Middle Ages or Renaissance) and country (France or Italy). Some features of that legend remain throughout but, in order to survive, the hero had to adapt to the various audiences. Depending on cultural turns of mind, the story of Roland is, in turn, an instrument of religious or political propaganda, a popular pastime divulged by the giullari or an entertainment appreciated by audiences in various courts. Writing practices and the configurations of space and time vary so widely that they produce various chivalrous universes and a literary figure which turn a hybrid: unlike French Roland who fights for his God and for his Lord, Italian Orlando, like Tristan and Lancelot, is driven to adventure by Love up until the end of this literary tradition

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a monograph on the facade of the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The present appearance of the facade is the result of three building campaigns effected over the period of two centuries (c1300--c1500), and two restorative campaigns conducted in the twentieth century. Each of the three major campaigns is considered in isolation, with attention to reconstructions, formal and comparative analyses, and extensive contextualization and discussion of patronage networks. The twentieth-century interventions are cursorily presented in an epilogue. Major themes developed and continued through the five chapters of the dissertation are: architecture and its projected meanings in late medieval and Renaissance Florence, urban organization, political structures, the Dominican order and the position of the Florentine chapter within local and international ecclesiastical, social and political structures.

Full textAbstract:
La recherche porte sur l'étude historique et architecturale de l'église de Sainte-Marie-Majeure à Ferentino (province de Frosinone, Italie), l'un des plus importants édifices construits dans le Latium méridional au XIIIe siècle. Le contexte scientifique montre d'énormes désaccords relatifs à la période d'édification et, par conséquent, aux différentes références culturelles ayant inspiré l'architecture de l'église, à partir des abbayes de Fossanova (1208) et Casamari (1217). D'autre part, en raison de la rareté des sources médiévales qui nous sont parvenues, nous ne connaissons pas avec précision la chronologie relative et absolue du bâtiment. Le texte de synthèse, qui est supporté de deux volumes supplémentaires rassemblant les sources iconographiques et toute la documentation écrite (inédite ou non) sur Sainte-Marie-Majeure, se compose de trois parties. Après avoir retracé l'histoire de l'église, depuis ses origines jusqu'aux dernières restaurations, à partir de l'exposé critique de questions historiographiques, l'architecture de l'édifice et ses principales phases de construction sont analysées de manière exhaustive. Enfin, la dernière section contextualise notre étude de cas dans le cadre du renouvellement architectural du Latium méridional et, plus largement, dans l'histoire de l'architecture médiévale, sans se limiter à l'Italie. En sélectionnant tel édifice-clé, constituant un exemplum sous le point de vue architectural, la recherche a spécifié les modalités de réception et de transmission des modèles provenant de la Bourgogne et de l'Ile-de-France à l'architecture religieuse et civile dans la province ecclésiastique de Campagna et Marittima au XIIIe siècleMy research deals with the historical and architectural study of Santa Maria Maggiore in Ferentino (in the modern province of Frosinone), one of the most important buildings erected in southern Lazio during the thirteenth century. The existing scholarship on the church was out of date and suffered from large gaps that left the history of its construction unexplained. Neither the date of the site‟s foundation nor that of its completion are known because of the lack of medieval documentary sources. Consequently, the main disagreements about Santa Maria Maggiore had concerned the sources of inspiration for its architecture, as scholars generally compared it to the model of the Cistercian abbeys of Fossanova (1208) and Casamari (1217). My dissertation is accompanied by two additional volumes containing the images supporting the text and a catalogue of written sources including unpublished archival documents, and it is divided into three parts. The first traces the entire history of the building and begins with a critical exposition of related historiographical issues. The second section exhaustively analyses the architecture of the church and its building phases by reconciling documentary evidence and visual analysis of the church. The third section contextualizes the design of Santa Maria Maggiore within the territory of southern Lazio and the panorama of "Cistercian" architecture. By taking this exemplary monument as its subject, my research demonstrates the complex reception of architectural models from Burgundy and the Ile-de-France, analysing their subsequent reworkings in thirteenth-century religious and civil architecture in the ecclesiastical province of Campagna and Marittima
La ricerca affronta lo studio storico-critico della chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore a Ferentino (FR), uno dei più importanti edifici costruiti nel Lazio meridionale durante il XIII secolo. Nonostante sia stata dichiarata Monumento Nazionale nel 1884, non era mai stata oggetto di uno studio sistematico ed è ancora oggi pressoché inedita. Il contesto scientifico, ormai desueto, soffre di grandi lacune sulle vicende costruttive della fabbrica, di cui non sono note né la data di fondazione né quella di completamento del cantiere a causa della scarsità di fonti documentarie medievali. Di conseguenza, i principali disaccordi hanno riguardato le influenze culturali fonte d‟ispirazione per l‟architettura di Santa Maria Maggiore, troppo genericamente ricondotte al modello delle abbaziali cistercensi di Fossanova (1208) e Casamari (1217). La dissertazione, accompagnata da due volumi supplementari che contengono le immagini di supporto al testo e il repertorio delle fonti documentarie, è suddivisa in tre parti: quella iniziale ripercorre l‟intera storia dell‟edificio a partire dall‟esposizione critica delle questioni storiografiche; la seconda sezione analizza in modo esaustivo l‟architettura della fabbrica e le fasi edilizie riconosciute; la terza parte, infine, contestualizza il caso studio nel quadro del Lazio meridionale e nel panorama dell‟architettura “cistercense”. Estendendo il campo di indagine, il lavoro ha acquisito un valore a scala territoriale poiché la ricostruzione delle vicende edilizie di Santa Maria Maggiore ha permesso l‟istituzione di raffronti con diverse altre architetture coeve sia italiane che francesi, al di là dei due magniloquenti monasteri di Fossanova e Casamari. A questi ultimi, infatti, la storiografia ha attribuito da sempre un ruolo privilegiato nell‟introduzione del linguaggio gotico ultramontano nel territorio a sud di Roma, di cui la chiesa ferentinese rappresenta una derivazione locale. Selezionando tale exemplum, la ricerca ha precisato le modalità di accoglienza dei modelli provenienti dalla Borgogna e dall‟Ilede-France, rintracciando le successive rielaborazioni nell‟edilizia duecentesca sia religiosa che civile nella Provincia ecclesiastica di Campagna e Marittima

This theme is treated on the theoretical plane and in the concrete reality of the plays where expressionism is to be found. One part of our thesis throws light on that which, in the first thirty years of the twentieth century in italy, may have encouraged the flowering of the expressionist esthetic. In the first instance, we draw attention to the importance of certain avant-garde tendencies which have features in common with german expressionism : the futurism of marinetti, the "grottesco" of chiarelli, antonelli, cavacchioli, the theories of ricciardi on colour, and bragaglia's theories on "psychological light". Then we deal with the determining role played by critics, men of the theatre and cinema, and writers, in the spread of german expressionism throughout italy : adriano tilgher, leonello vincenti, lavinia jollos mazzucchetti, anton giulio bragaglia, and the young contributors to the "messaggero verde" : pier maria rosso di san secondo, federigo tozzi, arnaldo frateili. Finally, we place special stress on the numerous contacts and exchanges - particularly before the first world war - between the representatives of futurism and german intellec- tuals having close links with expressionism (herwarth walden, alfred doblin), as well as on the visits over the rhine -specially berlin- by vasari, rosso and pirandello, in the 1920-30 period.

Resumo: Na primeira fase do Novecentos literário italiano muitos folhetins franceses do século XIX foram reeditados por jornais italianos, alcançando grande sucesso de público, motivando Antonio Gramsci a encetar uma discussão em torno da inexistência de uma literatura "nacional-popular" italiana que traduzisse efetivamente as inquietações da época e as necessidades do povo, como tinha ocorrido na França. No entanto, desde 1900, o crítico literário Giuseppe Antonio Borgese vinha resenhando autores que publicavam romances à moda do folhetim francês nas páginas dos periódicos e das revistas italianas que naquele começo de século se multiplicavam e abriam suas páginas para um público mais amplo e diversificado, sobretudo, feminino. Atentos à chamada literatura de consumo, esses periódicos abriram espaço para a escrita feminina, ajudando a introduzir no cenário literário da época mulheres como Maria Messina, cujo romance de estréia, La casa nel vicolo, foi publicado em capítulos, à moda do "feuilleton" francês, nas páginas da revista Nuova Antologia de Lettere, Scienze ed Arti, em 1920. Nesta pesquisa, pretendemos identificar e enumerar as técnicas folhetinescas utilizadas por Maria Messina em La casa nel vicolo, de modo que se torne visível à influência do gênero em sua narrativa.
Abstract: In the first phase of the Italian Novecento, many French 19th-century serials were reissued by Italian newspapers, reaching great success of audience, motivating Antonio Gramsci to enter into a discussion around the absence of a "national-popular" Italian literature which translates effectively the concerns and the needs of the people, as had occurred in France. However, since 1900, the literary critic Giuseppe Antonio Borgese had been reviewing authors who published French-style novels in the pages of periodicals and Italian magazines, which, at the beginning of the century multiplied and opened its pages to a broader and diverse audience, especially, female. Attentive to the consumer literature call, these periodicals have opened space for the writing women, helping to introduce in the literary scene of the time women like Maria Messina, whose debut novel, La casa nel vicolo, was published in chapters, like the French "feuilleton", in the pages of the magazine Nuova Antologia de Lettere, Scienze ed Arti in 1920. The objective of this paper is to present the serial techniques that are used by the authoress in his novel La casa nel vicolo, so that becomes visible the influence of gender in his narrative.
Astratto: La scrittrice siciliana Maria Messina è tra alcuni donne che nella prima fase del Novecento letterario italiano, si distacca nella lotta dal riconoscimento letterario, descrivendo il suo mondo attraverso della prospettiva patriarcale, inoltre su che si riferisce alla condizione femminile. Per tale strategie, la scrittrice usi il suo romanzo La casa nel vicolo, pubblicato nel 1920, "a puntate", dalla rivista Nuova Antologia di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, al fine di collaborare con la letteratura di consumo di cui il giornali e le riviste sono associati. Con tematiche prossime al cotidiano e al momento storico, i lettori si trovanno con i drami della vita, con la vittimizzazione dei essere e la opressione dell'individuo piú debole, in altre parole, le donne. Basando in questi fattori, le tecniche del "feuilleton" sarà necessario per comprovare la inserzione della opera della scrittrice siciliana, nel genere "feuilleton". L'obiettivo di questo studio è quello di presentare le tecniche seriali che vengono utilizzate da Maria Messina nel suo romanzo La casa nel vicolo, in modo che rende visibile l'influenza del genere nel suo romanzo.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to reconstruct the history, building phases, original appearance and role in mediaeval Rome of the church of S. Maria in Aracoeli, from its origins to c. 1400. The introduction describes the topographical setting of the church and traces its historiography . The first chapter investigates previous churches, their documentary sources, archaeological evidence and surviving components of church furniture. Patronage, date and original appearance of the so-called ‘ara coeli’, the extant main altar of the former church, are discussed. The second chapter concerns the present church, constructed by the Franciscans after their arrival on the hill in the mid-thirteenth century. The first section covers the building history from a documentary point of view, while the second provides a formal analysis, dedicating a subsection to each surviving part (nave and aisles, transept and adjacent chapel, facade). Archaeological research, together with graphic, epigraphic, literary and documentary sources, establishes the transformations of the building as well as the original plan and elevation of its lost parts (apse and eastern chapels). The third section critically reconsiders the lost decoration of the original apse, its iconography and the reasons for its success. The fourth section focuses on the workshop: analysis of the building technique is combined with the information on the architect gathered from his surviving sepulchral epitaph; the use of spolia and the adoption of gothic window-tracery are also discussed. The final chapter places Aracoeli in its context: the first section examines the civic role of the church as a setting for communal assemblies and a privileged site for judgement, the second considers its role as a favourite site for burial chapels of important Roman families. This thesis clarifies the history and appearance of the Christian site before the Franciscans, and provides a reconstruction of the building stages and original aspect of the present church (as well as of the function of some annexed structures) which differs radically from previous hypotheses, thus situating Aracoeli in a different architectural and cultural framework.

La scrittrice siciliana Maria Messina è tra alcuni donne che nella prima fase del Novecento letterario italiano, si distacca nella lotta dal riconoscimento letterario, descrivendo il suo mondo attraverso della prospettiva patriarcale, inoltre su che si riferisce alla condizione femminile. Per tale strategie, la scrittrice usi il suo romanzo La casa nel vicolo, pubblicato nel 1920, “a puntate”, dalla rivista Nuova Antologia di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, al fine di collaborare con la letteratura di consumo di cui il giornali e le riviste sono associati. Con tematiche prossime al cotidiano e al momento storico, i lettori si trovanno con i drami della vita, con la vittimizzazione dei essere e la opressione dell’individuo piú debole, in altre parole, le donne. Basando in questi fattori, le tecniche del “feuilleton” sarà necessario per comprovare la inserzione della opera della scrittrice siciliana, nel genere “feuilleton”. L'obiettivo di questo studio è quello di presentare le tecniche seriali che vengono utilizzate da Maria Messina nel suo romanzo La casa nel vicolo, in modo che rende visibile l'influenza del genere nel suo romanzo.
Na primeira fase do Novecentos literário italiano muitos folhetins franceses do século XIX foram reeditados por jornais italianos, alcançando grande sucesso de público, motivando Antonio Gramsci a encetar uma discussão em torno da inexistência de uma literatura “nacional-popular” italiana que traduzisse efetivamente as inquietações da época e as necessidades do povo, como tinha ocorrido na França. No entanto, desde 1900, o crítico literário Giuseppe Antonio Borgese vinha resenhando autores que publicavam romances à moda do folhetim francês nas páginas dos periódicos e das revistas italianas que naquele começo de século se multiplicavam e abriam suas páginas para um público mais amplo e diversificado, sobretudo, feminino. Atentos à chamada literatura de consumo, esses periódicos abriram espaço para a escrita feminina, ajudando a introduzir no cenário literário da época mulheres como Maria Messina, cujo romance de estréia, La casa nel vicolo, foi publicado em capítulos, à moda do “feuilleton” francês, nas páginas da revista Nuova Antologia de Lettere, Scienze ed Arti, em 1920. Nesta pesquisa, pretendemos identificar e enumerar as técnicas folhetinescas utilizadas por Maria Messina em La casa nel vicolo, de modo que se torne visível à influência do gênero em sua narrativa.
In the first phase of the Italian Novecento, many French 19th-century serials were reissued by Italian newspapers, reaching great success of audience, motivating Antonio Gramsci to enter into a discussion around the absence of a "national-popular" Italian literature which translates effectively the concerns and the needs of the people, as had occurred in France. However, since 1900, the literary critic Giuseppe Antonio Borgese had been reviewing authors who published French-style novels in the pages of periodicals and Italian magazines, which, at the beginning of the century multiplied and opened its pages to a broader and diverse audience, especially, female. Attentive to the consumer literature call, these periodicals have opened space for the writing women, helping to introduce in the literary scene of the time women like Maria Messina, whose debut novel, La casa nel vicolo, was published in chapters, like the French “feuilleton”, in the pages of the magazine Nuova Antologia de Lettere, Scienze ed Arti in 1920. The objective of this paper is to present the serial techniques that are used by the authoress in his novel La casa nel vicolo, so that becomes visible the influence of gender in his narrative.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen undersöker maffians uppkomst och inflytande på Sicilien utifrån historiska, sociala och kulturella processer. För att göra en analys av de sociala förhållandena på ön har även en analys av den sicilianska familjen gjorts. Familjens betydelse för individen och för det sicilianska samhället har kopplats samman med maffians struktur och kodex kring heder och tystnad. Teorier kring praxis har använts för att utforska länken mellan social struktur och social organisation och individuellt aktörskap bland sicilianarna. Analysen ger klarhet i hur maffians uppkomst både kan förklaras som en effekt av de kulturella ordningarna i samhället och som ett uttryck för individuellt och kollektivt aktörskap. Studien belyser vikten av att se samhälleliga fenomen utifrån dess kulturella kontext och samtidigt se denna kulturella kontext som en produkt av mänskligt handlande och agens.

Full textAbstract:
Maria Caterina Brondi (1684-1719) fue una sierva de Dios nacida en Sarzana, una ciudad bajo el gobierno de la República de Génova. Su camino de perfección la situó bajo la guía espiritual de diferentes directores espirituales y también bajo la atención del Santo Oficio. Su vida contemplativa se vio complementada por una vida activa que la llevó a ciudades como Massa, Génova y Pisa, donde desarrolló una labor de asistencia espiritual y hospitalaria en beneficio de las personas. Los creyentes reconocieron en ella a una mujer santa, un papel que ella misma asumió y visibilizó a través del uso que hizo del apelativo de santina di Sarzana en la correspondencia. La sociedad y especialmente las autoridades eclesiásticas se enfrentaron a su caso desde la ambivalencia de la aceptación y del rechazo. El Gran Duque Cosme III de Médici se significó a su favor y ejerció el patronazgo sobre ella, resultando de esa actividad la presencia de la mujer en Pisa y la proyección de un viaje a Florencia. Ese interés del gobernante no desapareció con el fallecimiento de la sierva de Dios sino que se extendió al proyecto hagiográfico que se inició en 1719 y que ha mantenido vivo su recuerdo hasta entrado el siglo XXI.Maria Caterina Brondi (1684-1719) was a servant of God born in Sarzana, a town belonging to the Republic of Genoa. She undertook her road to perfection under the guidance of various spiritual guides and attracted the attention of the Holy Office. In addition to her contemplative life, she had an active life as well, which brought her to places such as Massa, Genoa and Pisa, where she provided spiritual and hospital help to local townspeople. Many of them saw in her a saintly person, a role that she accepted, and thus she became known as la santina de Sarzana, and apelative she used to refer to herself. Social sectors and particularly church authorities reacted to her fame in an ambivalent way, either accepting or refusing her. The Great Duke of Tuscany Cosimo III Medici made clear his support and placed her under his patronage, resulting in a stay in Pisa and in a plan to visit Florence. The ruler did not lose his interest for her after she died, but supported the writing of a hagiography, which started right away in 1719. This book has greatly helped to keep Maria Caterina’s memories alive until today.

La thèse analyse l’évolution de l’écriture féminine en Sicile aux XIXe et XXe siècles, sur la base d’un corpus de 24 romans de femmes écrivains : Cecilia Stazzone, Rosina Muzio Salvo, Elvira Mancuso, Angelina Damiani Lanza, Adelaide Bernardini Capuana, Maria Messina et Goliarda Sapienza. Dans la première partie, selon une approche socio-littéraire et en utilisant des inédits ou des textes rares mis au jour, nous avons illustré cette production dans l’histoire littéraire et dans la réception (à l’époque et contemporaine), étant donné certains oublis puis redécouvertes ultérieures, grâce surtout à l’activité éditoriale de Leonardo Sciascia (Mancuso et Messina), à la connaissance du rosminien Giuseppe Pellegrino (Lanza) et au succès des traductions françaises (Sapienza). Dans la deuxième partie, nous avons indiqué comment ces femmes écrivains ont différemment représenté la condition féminine de leur époque, en utilisant pendant le Romantisme des modèles romanesques masculins, en développant pendant le Décadentisme des structures et styles personnels qui corrodaient la langue et les schémas constitués, et enfin en créant des formes résolument autres à l’époque contemporaine. Ce sont surtout les romancières de l’époque contemporaine qui ont contribué significativement au développement du genre romanesque au féminin, en particulier Sapienza qui a, de façon unique, modelé au féminin l’autobiographie, le roman-épopée et le roman-enquêteIn this doctoral thesis, we examine the evolution of women’s writing in the XIXth and XXth centuries in Sicily. We based on a corpus of 24 novels by seven women writers : Cecilia Stazzone, Rosina Muzio Salvo, Elvira Mancuso, Angelina Damiani Lanza, Adelaide Bernardini Capuana, Maria Messina and Goliarda Sapienza. In the first part, applying sociological Criticism and using unpublished and rare texts, we show how this production can be understood through the development of textual history and history of reception. There have been some omissions and also rediscoveries, especially thanks to Leonardo Sciascia’s editorial activity for Mancuso’s and Messina’s works, to the Rosminian philosopher Giuseppe Pellegrino for Lanza’s works and to the great success of Sapienza’s French translations. In the second part, we analyze the different forms how these women writers represented the female condition in each phase : during the Romantic age, they followed their contemporary writers’ models, while during the Decadent movement they invented a structure and a personal style so as to erode the linguistic and formal canons. In the contemporary period, they created their own patterns. The women writers of the twentieth century contributed to the development of the female novel, especially Sapienza, who elaborated a personal pattern for female expression in several genres : autobiography, epic and psychological inquiry

Full textAbstract:
La thèse porte sur l’œuvre de Maria Messina (Palerme 1887- Pistoia 1944), une auteure sicilienne qui appartient à la catégorie des écrivains oubliés. Il s’agit d’une lecture analytique-critique de l’œuvre narrative messinienne. Dans la première partie, nous avons proposé une étude détaillée du profil biographique de l’auteure en examinant, dans une perspective théorique et textuelle, son appartenance et son adhésion au Vérisme et en analysant ses correspondances épistolaires. Puis nous avons abordé une étude diachronique de toute sa production littéraire en classant et résumant ses œuvres, et enfin nous avons pris en examen sa fortune critique et littéraire. Dans la deuxième partie, nous avons défini les différentes catégories de personnages-victimes de Maria Messina et nous avons étudié, dans une perspective textuelle, leurs portraits en examinant «l’univers suffocant» dans lequel vivent ces personnages. En particulier, ils ont été analysés les personnages féminins, explorés dans le cadre de la représentation de la condition féminine de l'époque, en abordant les thèmes principaux affrontés par l’écrivaine. Dans la troisième et dernière partie, toujours dans une perspective textuelle, et à travers l'analyse des différentes figures féminines dans les diverses œuvres messiniennes et une enquête thématique, nous avons examiné comment Maria Messina, par sa plume, a donné la parole à ces victimes étouffées qui n'ont pas la possibilité de parler ou de se défendre, en affrontant le passage du silence à la parole et de l'ombre à la lumière dans l’univers étouffant des «victimes» représenté par l’auteureMy thesis focuses on the narrative work of Maria Messina (Palermo 1887 - Pistoia 1944), a Sicilian author who belongs to category of forgotten writers. It deals with a critical interpretation of Maria Messina’s narrative work. In the first part, I propose a detailed biographical study of the author by examining, through a theoretical and textual perspective, her sharing the literary principles of the Verismo literary movement and by analyzing her epistolary correspondences. I then engage with a diachronical study of her whole narrative production by classifying and summarizing the content of her works. Finally, I consider the critical fortune of Maria Messina, that is, how her work was understood and interpreted by critical scholarship.In the second part of my thesis, I describe the different typologies of Messina’s characters and I study, by means of an in-depth textual analysis of her narrative, their representation in terms of victims within the “suffocating society” in which they live. In particular, I focus on Messina’s female characters, the representation of which documents the female condition at Messina’s time.In the third and last part of my work, I examine, by means of a textual analysis again, the way in which Messina gave voice to her characters, allowing them to become aware and denounce their condition of subalternity

Full textAbstract:
This study is an art history of Santa Maria dei Carmini, Venice, from its foundation in c. 1286 to the present day, with a special focus on the late Renaissance period (c. 1500-1560). It explores a relatively overlooked corner of Renaissance Venice and provides an opportunity to study the Carmelite Order's relationship to art. It seeks to answer outstanding questions of attribution, dating, patronage, architectural arrangements and locations of works of art in the church. Additionally it has attempted to have a diverse approach to problems of interpretation and has examined the visual imagery's relationship to the Carmelite liturgy, religious function and later interpretations of art works. Santa Maria dei Carmini was amongst the largest basilicas in Venice when it was completed and the Carmelites were a major international order with a strong literary tradition. Their church in Venice contained a wealth of art works produced by one of the most restlessly inventive generations in the Western European tradition. Chapter 1 outlines a history of the Carmelites, their hagiography and devotions, which inform much of the discussion in later chapters. The second Chapter discusses the early history of the Carmelite church in Venice, establishing when it was founded, and examining the decorative aspects before 1500. It demonstrates how the tramezzo and choir-stalls compartmentalised the nave and how these different spaces within the church were used. Chapter 3 studies two commissions for the decoration of the tramezzo, that span the central period of this thesis, c. 1500-1560. There it is shown that subjects relevant to the Carmelite Order, and the expected public on different sides of the tramezzo were chosen and reinterpreted over time as devotions changed. Cima da Conegliano's Adoration of the Shepherds (c. 1511) is discussed in Chapter 4, where the dedication of the altar is definitively proven and the respective liturgy is expanded upon. The tradition of votive images is shown to have influenced Cima's representation of the donor. In Chapter 5 Cima's altarpiece for the Scuola di Sant'Alberto's altar is shown to have been replaced because of the increasing ambiguity over the identification of the titulus after the introduction of new Carmelite saints at the beginning of the century. Its compositional relationship to the vesperbild tradition is also examined and shown to assist the faithful in important aspects of religious faith. The sixth chapter examines the composition of Lorenzo Lotto's St Nicholas in Glory (1527-29) and how it dramatises the relationship between the devoted, the interceding saints and heaven. It further hypothesises that the inclusion of St Lucy is a corroboration of the roles performed by St Nicholas and related to the confraternity's annual celebrations in December. The authorship, date and iconography of Tintoretto's Presentation of Christ (c. 1545) is analysed in Chapter 7, which also demonstrates how the altarpiece responds to the particular liturgical circumstances on the feast of Candlemas. The final chapter discusses the church as a whole, providing the first narrative of the movement of altars and development of the decorative schemes. The Conclusion highlights the important themes that have developed from this study and provides a verdict on the role of ‘Carmelite art' in the Venice Carmini.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the fresco decoration of Santa Maria ad Cryptas. The frescoes are described and analyzed, and then compared to similar programs in order to determine which features are based on earlier sources, and which are unusual or unique to this particular church. The traditional features are found to reflect a long-established pattern of church decoration reflected in such monuments as Old Saint Peter’s, Sant’Angelo in Formis, the Cathedral of Monreale, and the Cappella Palatina. The unusual features (including the placement of the Passion cycle in the presbytery, and the location of the Crucifixion over the altar) are explained as modifications that emphasize themes of local importance, or of special significance to the patron. The Fossa frescoes utilize programmatic elements, such as the Old and New Testament narrative cycles, to explain sacred history as it related to a medieval man of the patron’s class and profession.

Full textAbstract:
xvii, 171 p. : ill. (some col.)Crystals influence the migration of gas through magma. At low concentrations, they increase the bulk fluid properties, especially viscosity. At concentrations close to maximum packing, crystals form a rigid framework and magma cannot erupt. However, erupted pyroclasts with crystal contents close to the packing concentration are common at mafic volcanoes that exhibit Strombolian behavior. In this dissertation, I study the influence of solid particles on gas migration. I apply my results to Stromboli volcano, Italy, type locality of the normal Strombolian eruptive style, where gas moves through an essentially stagnant magma with crystallinity ∼50%. Specifically, I investigate the effect of crystals on flow regime, gas content (Chapter II), bubble concentration (number densities), bubble shapes, bubble sizes (Chapter III), and bubble rise velocities (gas flux) (Chapter IV). I find that gas-liquid flow regimes are not applicable at high particle concentrations and should be replaced by new, three-phase (gas-liquid-solid) regimes and that degassing efficiency increases with particle concentration (Chapter II). In Chapter III, I show that crystals modify bubble populations by trapping small bubbles and causing large bubbles to split into smaller ones and by modifying bubble shapes. In Chapter IV, I model Stromboli's crystal-rich magma as a network of capillary tubes and show that bubble rise velocities are significantly slower than free rise velocities in the absence of particles. In each chapter, I use analogue experiments to study the effect of different liquid and solid properties on gas migration in viscous liquids. I then apply my analogue results to magmatic conditions using simple parameterizations and/or numerical modeling or by comparing the results directly to observations made on crystal-rich volcanic rocks. Chapter V proposes a mechanism for Strombolian eruptions and gas migration through the crystalrich magma in which the effect of crystals is included. This model replaces the current twophase "slug" model, which cannot account for the high crystallinity observed at Stromboli. There are three appendices in this dissertation: a preliminary study of the influence of particles on gas expansion, image analysis methods, and the numerical code developed in Chapter IV. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho analisa o aspecto lírico-religioso de três canções marianas, recolhidas do Cancioneiro Popular do imigrante italiano na Região de Colonização Italiana e se propõe revelar, sob o aspecto das metáforas e das metonímias, a representação de Maria. Para tanto, este estudo dialoga com temas imprescindíveis para a obtenção de resultados, como História, Cultura, Identidade, Regionalidade, Mariologia, Metáforas, Metonímias (a Teoria de Metáforas Conceituais) e música. Assim sendo, a dissertação está estruturada sobre quatro capítulos que norteiam a análise e a interpretação. A saber: o Primeiro Capítulo entrelaça a História e a Cultura, procurando fazer uma revisão de aspectos relevantes da história da imigração italiana na RCI na Região Nordeste do Estado, focando a importância da religião e ou da fé desde os primórdios desse processo. A partir disso, há a análise sobre Região, Identidade e Religiosidade. O Segundo Capítulo destaca o Cancioneiro Popular e assim, o aspecto da Tradição Oral Popular. Aprofunda o aspecto da cultura popular expressada com o canto e traz em evidência a caracterização do Canto Mariano (origens, ritualismo e devoção do imigrante italiano). Demonstra, ainda, aspectos da devoção mariana, tão presente e viva junto ao imigrante, pois Maria é descrita como sendo a mãe que está sempre presente e junto aos seus filhos (povo). O Terceiro Capítulo, por sua vez, concentra a análise dos aspectos da Teoria da Metáfora Conceitual, da Simbologia e, também, da interpretação e pesquisa sobre as Virtudes, objetivando a análise da figura da mulher idealizada , ou ainda, da representação da mãe - Maria (Madonna). Por fim, no Quarto Capítulo, tem-se a Metodologia e a Análise das canções marianas, ou seja, a análise do corpus das canções: Beléssa di Maria; Maria Consolatrice; O Bèla mia Speransa, que motivam este estudo. Esta parte segue o método da análise semântica com base em George Lakoff (e colaboradores) que permeiam o estudo das metáforas conceituais. Há, também, a posição etnográfica, onde é destacada a pesquisa de campo realizada para conhecer opiniões e perspectivas do povo, indo além da análise do pesquisador. Após isso, é feita a síntese com os resultados obtidos pela pesquisa/estudo.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-28T17:29:23Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Lauro Edson da Cas.pdf: 660533 bytes, checksum: 67162060ee2c9127d36245efbaca0ad2 (MD5)

This study analyzes the religious lyrical aspect of three Marian songs, collected from the book Cancioneiro Popular do Imigrante Italiano na Região de Colonização Italiana, and also intends to clarify, using metaphors and metonymies, the representation of Mary. To do that, this study takes into consideration imprescindible issues such as History, Culture, Identity, Religiosity, and Mariology, Metaphors, Metonymies (Conceptual Metaphor Theory) and music. This dissertation is structured upon four chapters as follows: the first chapter links History and Culture, trying to revise some relevant points of the history of the Italian immigration on the RCI in the Northeast Region of our state, focusing on the importance of religion and/or faith since the beginning of that process. Therefore, there is the analysis about the Region, Identity and Religiosity. The second chapter highlights the Cancioneiro Popular and then, the Popular Oral Tradition. Also, it deepens the aspect of popular culture expressed by the songs and brings into evidence the characterization of the Marian Songs (origins, ritualism and devotion of the Italian immigrant). Moreover, it shows some aspects of the Marian devotion, so present and alive within the immigrant, because Mary is described as the mother who is always with her children (the people). The third chapter, in turn, focus on the analysis of aspects of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory , of the Symbolism, and also of the interpretation and research regarding the Virtues, aiming at analyzing the idealized woman´s portrait , or still, the representation of the mother Mary (Madonna). At last, presented in the fourth chapter are the Methodology and the Analysis of the Marian Songs, that is, the analysis of the corpus of songs: Beléssa di Mary, Mary Consolatrice and O Bela mia Speransa that motivate the study. This part follows the method of semantic analysis, based on George Lakoff (and collaborators) that permeates the study of the conceptual metaphors. There is the ethnographic position as well, where is emphasized the field work carried out to know opinions and perspectives of the people, going beyond the researcher´s analysis. After that, the synthesis is done with the obtained results by the research/study.
