Academic literature on the topic 'Marco Paolini'

This paper analyzes the work of actor/writer Marco Paolini, and his acclaimed monologue Il racconto del Vajont in particular. In the wake of Dario Fo and Franca Rame’s teatro civile, Paolini’s monolo­gues contributed to the birth of the so-called teatro di narrazione in the 1990s, which can also be defined as “theatre of trauma”, that is, a the­atre that recovers the memory of tragic events from the past. In recent times, trauma has become a central theme of Western narrative, poli­tics, and other forms of representation in the public sphere. Following the thought of philosophers such as Jean-François Lyotard and Slavoj Zižek, the article reads Paolini’s Il racconto del Vajont as a significant example of what writer Kyo Maclear calls “witness art.” Characterized by a crisis of the traditional models of representation in mainstream culture, witness art is conceived by Maclear in opposition to the tradi­tional divisions between art, knowledge, and the political instances of public discourse. Among Paolini’s many performances of Vaiont, the one performed at the same time and place where the tragedy took place 34 years before, and broadcasted live on RAI 2 in 1997, stands out for its uniqueness. That night, Paolini evoked the reenactment of a trau­matic experience by its witnesses, and, on a wider scale, by the audien­ce watching television at home. An almost forgotten tragedy became a media event, and for the first time trauma witnessing as such—and not as a means for a specific political claim—became part of the public discourse in the elaboration of post-1989 Italy.

Background:Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is characterized by inflammation of large and medium arteries. Classic symptoms include headaches, malaise and, in severe cases, blindness and aortic aneurysms. Corticosteroids (CS) are the first line of treatment. Relapsing disease patients undergo multiple courses of CS therapy increasing their CS exposure and toxicity. A significant unmet need for disease-modifying CS-sparing therapy remains in GCA as the efficacy of current treatment options, including tocilizumab have limitations.We have previously reported elevated expression of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) pathway transcriptomic signature in GCA vessels. GM-CSF may contribute to underlying disease mechanisms by regulating inflammatory macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and T helper (TH1/TH17) cells which are involved in GCA pathogenesis. GM-CSF produced by T cells1can promote polarization of inflammatory macrophages2and recruitment and differentiation of monocytes into inflammatory DCs2that can in turn recruit T cells and stimulate TH1/TH17 differentiation creating a feedback loop. GM-CSF may also exert direct effects on angiogenesis3and vessel wall remodeling4.Objectives:To demonstrate the contributing role of GM-CSF pathway to inflammation in GCA arteries.Methods:Immunostaining was used to examine expression of GM-CSF and GM-CSF-Rα proteins in temporal artery biopsies (TABs) from GCA and controls (patients with suspected but not confirmed GCA and a negative TAB). Costaining with cell markers such as CD31, CD3, and CD68 allowed visualization of cells expressing GM-CSF and GM-CSF-Rα. Expression of GM-CSF pathway molecules such as phospho-JAK2 and PU.1 proteins was detected by immunohistochemical staining of GCA and control TABs.Ex vivocultured GCA arteries treated (10 each) with mavrilimumab (anti-GM-CSF-Rα) or placebo for 5 days were assayed for gene expression by qPCR, and culture supernatants were analyzed by ELISA.Results:Endothelial cells and macrophages were the main cell types expressing GM-CSF and GM-CSF-Rα. Increased expression of phospho-JAK2 (activated signaling molecule) and nuclear-localized PU.1 (transcription factor) in GCA TABs compared to controls indicated the presence of active GM-CSF signaling pathway in GCA.Inhibition of PU.1 mRNA expression inex vivocultures of GCA arteries treated with mavrilimumab indicated blockade of GM-CSFR signaling pathway. Mavrilimumab induced decrease in mRNA expression of key cell type markers including DC and macrophage activation markers CD83 and HLA-DRA, monocyte markers CD14 and CD16, T cell marker CD3ε, and B cell marker CD20 in these GCA artery cultures. Expression of inflammatory TH1/TH17 factors IFNγ (mRNA), TNFα, CXCL10 (IFNγ-stimulated chemokine) and IL-6 (mRNA and protein) was also inhibited by mavrilimumab in GCA artery cultures.Conclusion:Increased GM-CSF, GM-CSF-Rα, and downstream pathway-associated protein levels in GCA biopsies were consistent with previously-observed increased transcriptome signature. Expression of genes associated with inflammatory cells was suppressed by mavrilimumab in cultured GCA arteries. These data implicate the GM-CSF pathway in GCA pathophysiology and increase confidence in rationale for targeting the GM-CSF pathway in GCA.References:[1]GM-CSF and T-cell responses: what we do and don’t know.

Regular monitoring of hemipteran hopper species (including psyllids) associated with small-fruited acid lime trees (Citrus aurantifolia L.) was conducted for four years using motorized insect suction to determine the possible vectors of witches’- broom disease of lime (WBDL). The study was done in two phases: monitoring was done in Habra village, Wilayat Wadi AlMaawal (Batinah region) for one year from June 2000 to May 2001; then monitoring was done in Maharah village, Wilayat AlMusannah (Batinah region), for a period of three years from May 2001 to April 2004. Twelve species of cicadellid leafhoppers and one delpahacid planthopper species were collected, while no psyllids were found. Hishimonus phycitis (Distant) (Cicadellidae) was the most abundant hopper (78.4 % of collected individuals). Next in abundance were Toya sp. (Delphacidae), Circulifera haematiceps? and a deltocephalin leafhopper, respectively constituting 10.4, 3.8 and 2.4 % of the total catches of the four years. Nine other species made up 5% of the total collection: Exitianus nanus (Distant), Cicadulina sp. (either chinai (Ghauri) or storeyi (China)), Emposca distinguenda (Paoli), Amrasca biguttula (Ishihara), Deltocephalus (Recilia) pruthii (Metcalf), Neolimnus aegyptiacus (Mutsumura) and three undetermined species (one Deltocephalinae, one Typhlocybinae and one undeterminable to subfamily). Catches of H. phycitis were highest from November to March and lowest from May to September. There was a significant linear relationship between number of H. phycitis and maximum and mininmum temperature. Relative humidity was not significantly correlated to number of H. phycitis. In Maharah, young lime trees were free from WBDL but the disease incidence increased with age. H. phycitis is the best candidate vector of WBDL. The potential of Toya sp., Circulifera haematiceps? and an undetermined deltocephalin as candidate vectors is discussed. Finally, it is suggested that regular sprayings of acid lime trees with effective systemic insecticides during November to March each year can greatly reduce the vector population and can prevent or delay the spread of the disease to a great extent.

Abstract Background Prevention interventions for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), are currently limited to non-pharmaceutical strategies. Observational and laboratory data suggested that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) had biologic activity against SARS-CoV-2. A blinded trial of HCQ in persons with confirmed exposure and virologic and clinical endpoints is needed. Methods We conducted a national, householdrandomized, double-blind, controlled trial of HCQ post-exposure prophylaxis, with entirely remote study procedures. We enrolled close contacts exposed to persons with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the past 96 hours. Participants were randomized to either HCQ (400 mg daily for three days followed by 200 mg daily for eleven days) or ascorbic acid (500 mg followed by 250 mg daily), as a placebo-equivalent control. Participants self-collected mid-turbinate swabs daily (days 1–14) for SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing. The primary outcome was PCR-confirmed, incident SARS-CoV-2 infection among persons SARS-CoV-2 negative at enrollment. Symptoms were assessed using criteria from the US CDC. Results From March-August 2020, 623 households were randomized; 311 households (381 participants) to the HCQ group and 312 households (400 participants) to the control group. Ninety- one percent of participants were retained up to day 14 and 9,595 of 10,588 (91%) of swabs were tested. Among participants who were SARS-CoV-2 negative at baseline (n=626/781, 80%), the cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 was 14.5% (95% CI: 11.6–17.4) and the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 symptoms was 11.6% (95% CI: 8.9–14.2) at day 14. By day 14, there was no difference between the HCQ group and control group in SARS-CoV-2 acquisition (46 vs. 43 events, aHR= 0.99, 95% CI 0.64–1.52, p=0.95) or symptomatic disease (40 vs. 32 events, aHR= 1.23, 95% CI: 0.76–1.99, p=0.40). The adverse event frequency was similar between groups (59 [15.5%] participants in the HCQ and 45 [11.3%] in the control group, p=0.092). Cumulative incidence of RT-PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection among close contacts of diagnosed cases, by study group Conclusion This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial among persons with recent exposure and high incidence of SAR-CoV2 provides strong evidence that HCQ post-exposure prophylaxis did not prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection or modify clinical disease.

A crise mundial deflagrada em 2008, pela especulação financeira, serviu para acentuou nos países ricos o que os países pobres já vêm enfrentando a muitas décadas, recessão, inflação, desemprego, desigualdade, exclusão social, violência, entre outras mazelas sociais. E no epicentro das grandes demandas surgem alternativas de enfrentamento, sejam oriundas dos governos, das organizações empresariais ou da sociedade civil organizada, a essa tríade tem se denominado de primeiro setor (governo) segundo setor (empresas privadas) e terceiro setor (sociedade civil). Vive-se sem dúvida num momento hibrido de ações interventivas no campo social, campo esse que via de regra sempre foi renegado a caridade, filantropia e ao bel prazer dos poderosos. Ao se analisar a atual conjuntura, é possível constatar que em alguns aspectos isso não mudou, mas não é essa questão que quero abordar. Ressaltando o fato de que na prática esses setores estão se encontrado, e em alguns momentos até gerando certa conexão. No entanto, ao analisar as questões conceituais e as dimensões políticas, práticas postas e que permeiam essas organizações e seus respectivos sujeitos, é possível encontrar diferenças significativas. Principalmente no campo ideológico, notadamente no caso da economia solidária. No entanto, na prática, será que existem muitas diferenças? Pois, seja no uso de instrumentos, estratégias e ações de intervenção, principalmente quando se trata de ações de geração de trabalho e renda de populações em risco e vulnerabilidade social, encontramos muitas diferenças? É sobre isso que o presente artigo trata. De uma análise a partir de dados empíricos de uma pesquisa referente ao perfil de organizações empresarias da região Oeste do Paraná, Brasil, da prática de um projeto de extensão e da participação de organizações da sociedade civil, e empresarial na criação e desenvolvimento de ações de intervenção no campo da responsabilidade social empresarial, do Empreendedorismo Social, e mais recentemente no viés da economia solidaria. E com isso apontar as possíveis conexões, ambivalências e inflexões necessárias para melhor compreensão desse momento e processo.

ABSTRACT The global crisis triggered in 2008 by financial speculation, served to accented in rich countries, poor countries are already facing many decades, recession, inflation, unemployment, inequality, social exclusion, violence, among other social ills. And at the epicenter of the major demands arise coping alternatives are coming from the governments, business organizations or organized civil society, this triad has been called the first sector (government) second sector (private companies) and third sector (civil society) . We live in a hybrid undoubtedly moment of intervening actions in the social field this that a rule has always renegade charity, philanthropy and the whim of the powerful. When analyzing the current situation, it is clear that in some ways it has not changed, but not the issue I want to address. Highlighting the fact that in practice these sectors are found, and at times even generating some connection. However, when analyzing the conceptual issues and the political dimensions, and put practices that permeate these organizations and their subject, you can find significant differences. Especially in the ideological field, especially in the case of solidarity economy. However, in practice, are there many differences? Therefore, is the use of tools, intervention strategies and actions, especially when it comes to job generation of shares and income populations at risk and social vulnerability, we find many differences? That's what this article is about. An analysis from empirical data from a related research profile of business organizations of western Paraná, Brazil, the practice of a civil society outreach project and the participation of organizations and business in the creation and development of actions intervention in the field of corporate social responsibility, Social Entrepreneurship, and most recently in the bias of the solidarity economy. And with that point out the possible connections, ambivalence and inflections necessary for better understanding of this time and process. Keywords: social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, solidarity economy. RESUMEN La crisis mundial desencadenada en 2008 por la especulación financiera, sirvió para acentuado en los países ricos, los países pobres ya enfrentan muchas décadas, la recesión, la inflación, el desempleo, la desigualdad, la exclusión social, la violencia, entre otros males sociales. Y en el epicentro de las principales demandas surgen alternativas vienen de los gobiernos, las organizaciones empresariales o de la sociedad civil organizada para hacer frente, esta tríada se ha llamado el primer sector (gobierno) segundo sector (empresas privadas) y el tercer sector (la sociedad civil). Vivimos en un híbrido, sin duda, momento de las acciones que intervienen en el ámbito social que esta regla tiene caridad siempre renegado, la filantropía y el capricho de los poderosos. Al analizar la situación actual, es evidente que en algunos aspectos no ha cambiado, pero no el tema que quiero tratar. Destacando el hecho de que en la práctica se encuentran estos sectores, ya veces incluso generar algún tipo de conexión. Sin embargo, al analizar las cuestiones conceptuales y las dimensiones políticas y prácticas puestas que impregnan estas organizaciones y su tema, usted puede encontrar diferencias significativas. Especialmente en el campo ideológico, especialmente en el caso de la economía solidaria. Sin embargo, en la práctica, ¿hay muchas diferencias? Por lo tanto, es el uso de herramientas, estrategias de intervención y acciones, sobre todo cuando se trata de la generación de empleo de las acciones y de las poblaciones de ingresos en situación de riesgo y vulnerabilidad social, encontramos muchas diferencias? Eso es lo que este artículo se trata. Un análisis de los datos empíricos de un perfil de investigación relacionados con las organizaciones empresariales del oeste de Paraná, Brasil, la práctica de un proyecto de extensión de la sociedad civil y la participación de las organizaciones y las empresas en la creación y desarrollo de acciones intervención en el ámbito de la responsabilidad social corporativa, Emprendimiento Social, y más recientemente en el sesgo de la economía solidaria. Y con ese punto las posibles conexiones, la ambivalencia y las inflexiones necesarias para una mejor comprensión de este tiempo y proceso.

Reading the Transformation: The Relationship between Literature and Territory in Contemporary Veneto aims at investigating the interrelation between a geographically defined entity and the literary word. Placed in the context of a broader reflection on the dynamics of such relation, this thesis aims at outlining a specific set of theoretical references in order to analyse the case of contemporary Veneto through a close reading of some particularly relevant works by two authors from this region, Massimo Carlotto and Marco Paolini. Developed from an interest in the literary tradition of Veneto and in the theme of landscape and territory representation in literature, this thesis is comprised of two parts: the first one is dedicated to tracing the theoretical, historical, and literary coordinates that define the scope and frame of reference for the thesis; the second one conducts an in-depth analysis of the context in which the works of Carlotto and Paolini are situated. Drawing on concepts pertaining geography, cultural anthropology, and landscape theory, the premise of this thesis is that territory is a complex geographic, historical, social, economic, and cultural entity of which landscape constitutes the visible stratum. Siding with arguments that sustain the centrality of the role of landscape in the process of formation of people's identity, this thesis adopts such concept and employs it as a key to understand the relation between territory and literature. Through the analysis of La verità dell'Alligatore and Nordest by Carlotto and Il Milione and Bestiario Veneto - Parole mate by Paolini, the objective of this thesis is, on one side, to provide an insight into how the transformation of a territory can shape the formation of a collective identity, on the other side, to shed light on the means through the reflection on territory enters the literary space.

Ce travail de recherche s’interroge sur l’usage des langues dialectales dans le théâtre italien contemporain. De fait, celles-ci restent une source d’inspiration importante dans les créations les plus innovantes des trente dernières années, malgré l’affirmation de l’italien sur tout le territoire national depuis l’Unité. Cette étude s’interroge sur les valeurs et les enjeux de ces langues dialectales dans un théâtre actuel qui est, pour une part importante, le fait d’acteurs-auteurs : ainsi, la relation qui s’établit entre l’artiste, à la fois créateur et interprète, et la langue théâtrale, s’appuie sur une approche de l’élément langagier qui est aussi fondamentalement pré-cognitive, voire corporelle.Après avoir élucidé dans un premier temps les dynamiques linguistiques à l’œuvre dans le théâtre italien depuis l’Unité, cette étude se resserre autour de la pratique de cinq acteurs-auteurs contemporains : Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) et Enzo Moscato. L’analyse du parcours de chacun de ces artistes, ainsi que d’une œuvre en particulier, se propose d’établir une cartographie du théâtre italien contemporain puisant dans les dialectes la matière de sa langue théâtrale. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence les lignes de fuite de créations qui interrogent trois notions clés au cœur de l’analyse : le temps, le territoire et l’identité, notions qu’une réflexion constante sur le concept de limite et de frontière affine et redéfinit progressivement
This doctoral dissertation deals with the use of dialectal languages in the contemporary Italian theater. Indeed, these languages remain an important source of inspiration in the most innovating creations of the last thirty years, in spite of the paramount place the Italian language has come to have in the whole national territory since the Italian Unification. This study deals with the values and with what is at stake in these dialectal languages in today's theater which is, most of the time, created by actors-authors: therefore, the relationship between the artist, who is both creator and performer, and dramatic language, relies on a way of tackling the linguistic element that is fundamentally precognitive and corporal as well.After having cleared up the linguistic dynamics in the Italian theater since the Unification ; the study focuses on the work of five contemporary actors-authors: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) and Enzo Moscato. Studying the work of these artists, as well as a specific play, intends to draw up a cartography of the contemporary Italian theater that is inspired by dialect languages to create its own dramatic language. The study aims to lay emphasis on the convergence lines of creations which deals with three key notions, at the core of the study: time, territory and identity. These three notions will be progressively redefined and precised by working on the idea of limit and boundary
Questo lavoro di ricerca si interroga sull’uso delle lingue dialettali nel teatro italiano contemporaneo. Infatti, esse restano un’importante fonte d’ispirazione nelle creazioni più innovative degli ultimi trent’anni, nonostante l’affermarsi dell’italiano sull’intero territorio nazionale a partire dall’Unità. Questo studio si interroga sui valori e sul peso di queste lingue dialettali nel teatro odierno che, in larga parte, viene realizzato da attori-autori: perciò, la relazione che si stabilisce tra l’artista, insieme creatore ed interprete, e la lingua teatrale è fondata su un approccio fondamentalmente pre-cognitivo, e perfino corporeo, dell’elemento linguistico.Dopo aver chiarito, in un primo momento, le dinamiche linguistiche in atto nel teatro italiano sin dall’Unità, questo studio si accentra intorno alla pratica di cinque attori-autori contemporanei: Marco Paolini, Ascanio Celestini, Spiro Scimone (Compagnia Scimone Sframeli), Emma Dante (Compagnia Sud Costa Occidentale) e Enzo Moscato. L’analisi del percorso di ognuno di questi artisti, nonché di una loro opera in particolare, mira a stabilire una cartografia del teatro italiano contemporaneo che attinge dai dialetti la materia della propria lingua teatrale. Si tratta di evidenziare le linee di fuga di creazioni che interrogano tre nozioni-chiave al cuore dell’analisi: il tempo, il territorio e l’identità, nozioni affinate e progressivamente ridefinite da una costante riflessione sul concetto di limite e di confine

Certains des acteurs de ce groupe italien, déterminés à faire éclater les limites des genres pour mieux les interroger, s'emparent tout particulièrement des arts de la scène pour investir des espaces de création collectifs. Cette thèse procède à l'étude des productions théâtrales de Jannis Kounellis, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto et Mario Ceroli. Quatre démarches scénographiques singulières, qui se distinguent par leur ampleur. Ainsi, cette recherche s'emploie à dévoiler les multiples croisements à l'intérieur du courant, en découvrant les échanges entre arts plastiques et arts du spectacle. Il s'agit à la fois d'éclairer l'œuvre des artistes autour de l'Arte Povera et de comparer ces expériences aux activités dites de "théâtre d'artiste", en considérant aussi le rôle essentiel de l'environnement théâtral des années soixante et soixante-dix en Italie, dans le contexte d'une création expérimentale prolifique et révolutionnaire. L'ambition est de présenter les modalités de cette pratique spécifique dans l'œuvre des membres de l'Arte Povera pour l'étendre à un questionnement plus général au regard de la création d'autres artistes dans ce même registre
Arte Povera's works and productions constantly challenge the traditional fundamentals of History of Art, thus leading to the exploration of new artistic fields. Some members of the Italian group, in their will to break the limits between genres in order to question these very limits, concentrate on theatre to invest collective and creative spaces. This PhD is an analysis of the theatrical works by Jannis Kounellis, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Mario Ceroli. These four specific approaches distinguish themselves by their ambitions and their scales. This university research aims at revealing the multiple intersections within the group, by exploring the interactions between visual arts and performing arts. The issue at stake is both to shed light on artists and works from the Arte Povera and to compare their experiences to the theatre, while considering the central role of the theatrical environment in the sixties and seventies in Italy in a time of revolutionary and prolific experimental creation. The ambition is to present the details of these specific artistic practices that characterize the approaches of Arte Povera's members, and then to extend this analysis to a more global questioning of other artists' approaches sharing the same concerns

How can the new dynamic in European integration politics during the second half of the 1980’s be explained? What were the driving forces behind the Single European Act, the achievement of the Single Market, the Schengen agreement, the EC’s expansion to the south, and the new steps towards Monetary Union and the Common Foreign and Security Policy? In this book, using numerous discoveries from the archives, historians from 12 countries show how the European Community reacted to the challenges of globalisation and the reform initiatives by Mikhail Gorbachev. In doing so, they write a new chapter in the history of European integration: the emergence of the European Union.
