Jones, Scott Lee. "Servants of the Republic : patrician lawyers in Quattrocento Venice." Thesis, Swansea University, 2010. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42517.
Full textAbstract:
Lawyers have widely been recognized as playing a role in the transition from the medieval to the modem state. Their presence in Renaissance Venetian politics, however, remains largely unexplored. Relying primarily on a prosopographical analysis, the thesis explores the various roles played by lawyers, dividing those roles into three main categories: diplomats, territorial governors, and domestic legislators. What emerges is a clear pattern of significant involvement by legally trained patricians in the Venetian political system. Noble lawyers were most often ambassadors, serving in many of the principal courts inside and outside of Italy as Venice was extending her influence on the Italian peninsula. They also served as administrators of Venetian rule throughout the Venetian terraferma (mainland) state. Lastly, their domestic political officeholding further confirms their continuing participation, as they held many of the most important domestic offices throughout the Quattrocento. The thesis ends with short biographies of each of the nearly three-dozen lawyers who make up this study, as well as chronologies of the offices they held. These chronologies include archival references for each office.

Full textAbstract:
During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Venetian society and politics could be considered as a "polychoral culture." The imagination of the republic rested upon a shared set of social attitudes and beliefs. The political structure included several social groups that functioned as identifiable entities; republican ideologies construed them together as parts of a single harmonious whole. Venice furthermore employed notions of the republic to bolster political and religious independence, in particular from Rome. As is well known, music often contributes to the production and transmission of ideology, and polychoral music in Venice was no exception. Multi-choir music often accompanied religious and civic celebrations in the basilica of San Marco and elsewhere that emphasized the so-called "myth of Venice," the city's complex of religious beliefs and historical heritage. These myths were shared among Venetians and transformed through annual rituals into communal knowledge of the republic. Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli and other Venetian composers wrote polychoral pieces that were structurally homologous with the imagination of the republic. Through its internal structures, polychoral music projected the local ideology of group harmony. Pieces used interaction among hierarchical choirs - their alternation in dialogue and repetition - as rhetorical means, first to create the impression of collaboration or competition, and then to bring them together at the end, as if resolving discord into concord. Furthermore, Giovanni Gabrieli experimented with the integration of instrumental choirs and recitative within predominantly vocal multi-choir textures, elevating music to the category of a theatrical religious spectacle. He also adopted and developed richer tonal procedures belonging to the so-called "hexachordal tonality" to underscore rhetorical text delivery. If multi-choir music remained the central religious repertory of the city, contemporary single-choir pieces favored typical polychoral procedures that involve dialogue and repetition among vocal subgroups. Both repertories adopted clear rhetorical means of emphasizing religious notions of particular political significance at the surface level. Venetian music performed in religious and civic rituals worked in conjunction with the myth of the city to project and reinforce the imagination of the republic, promoting a glorious image of greatness for La Serenissima.

Full textAbstract:
Les élections politiques dans la République de Venise provoquaient des tensions entre normes républicaines, légales, sociales et religieuses. En conséquence, les patriciens développèrent une culture informelle constituée de diverses pratiques appelée “broglio” pour concilier ces normes. Cette culture se déroulait en parallèle aux élections et pouvait à la fois les dévier de leur objectif principal que les rendre plus fluide. Cette étude a pour objectif de mettre en lumière comment une culture pré-électorale de la campagne politique a réussi à s’imposer alors qu’elle était interdite.1500 patriciens prenaient place dans le Grand Conseil chaque dimanche et pendant les jours fériés pour élire les candidats. Le système électoral était strict : à travers une procédure complexe, seul le meilleur, le plus compétent et le plus loyal envers la patrie devait être élu sans prendre en considération les liens familiaux et clientélaires. Les patriciens appelaient ce principe “justice distributive” en référence au concept d’Aristote. Or, les patriciens devaient également soutenir les intérêts de leur famille. De plus, ils étaient intégrés dans un réseau clientélaire où les obligations mutuelles devaient être respectées. Si un patricien ne les honorait pas, il était exclu de la vie politique. Afin de réconcilier les normes républicaines avec les enjeux familiaux ou les intérêts de leurs amis et clients, les patriciens ont développé une culture informelle parallèle aux élections : le broglio. Certaines pratiques étaient illégales mais elles étaient tolérées de fait. D’autres, telle la corruption par l’argent, n’étaient ni légales ni légitimes<br>Political elections in the early modern Republic of Venice used to generate tension between republican, legal, social and religious behavioral norms. As a result, Venetians developed a culture of informal practices called broglio to harmonize these norms. This culture ran parallel to elections and could both thwart and smooth them. The analysis aims to highlight how a pre-election culture of political campaign managed to establish itself though it was forbidden. 1500 Patricians sat in the Great Council every Sunday and even on public holidays to elect candidates. The electoral system was strict: through a complex procedure, only the best, the most competent, and those most loyal to the motherland were to be elected, without any consideration of familial and friendship ties. Patricians called it distributive justice, a concept dating back to Aristotle. Patricians had to favour the interests of the family. Besides, they were integrated in clientele networks, where mutual obligations had to be honoured. Whoever did not respect his social duties was excluded from political life. To reconcile republican norms with familial and friendship’s issues, they established an informal culture that existed in parallel with the elections: the broglio. Some practices were legally not permitted, yet tolerated to a certain extent. Others, such as monetary bribery were inacceptable at all levels

Full textAbstract:
L’analyse des politiques fiscales des communautés autonomes de la Val Seriana (XVe-XVIe siècle) montre l’existence d’une relation asymétrique entre la République de Venise, la Commune urbaine de Bergame et les pouvoirs locaux. Dès la conquête, la Dominante et les Communes rurales entament des rapports qui garantissent à la République ses recettes fiscales et aux communautés la tutelle de leur autonomie administrative. La ville perd définitivement son influence directe institutionnelle et donc fiscale sur cette parties de son district. Cette relation continue, renforcée, pendant les deux siècles suivants, en dépit des transformations des modèles de prélèvement (introduction de contributions extraordinaires et d’une taxe militaire unique remplaçant des anciennes charges; fin XVe – début XVIe siècles). Ces changements et l’augmentation de la demande fiscale, due principalement aux guerres en Italie et en Orient, emmènent au développement d’un nouveau système financier local, remplaçant des anciennes organisations fondées sur des impositions tels que les dazi. Bien que bénéfique pour l’entière communauté, ces nouvelles institutions restent sous le contrôle des familles locales qui gouvernent déjà la Commune ; le nouveau système se fonde sur l’emprunt public émis par des créanciers privés, qui font souvent partie de la classe dirigeante locale, et sur la vente et location des biens communs des communautés<br>The analysis of the local fiscal policies of the autonomous communities of the Val Seriana during the XV and XVI centuries proves the existence of a three-sided, asymmetrical equilibrium between the Republic of Venice, the Commune of Bergamo and local powers. Whilst the Town manages to influence the communities' choices from a marginalised position, the Republic and the latter share a pact that benefits them respectively in fiscal revenues and protection of autonomy. This relationship will strenghten in time, through the transformations of the Venetian fiscal system (late XV century) that will put more emphasis on extraordinary revenues and monetisation of military corvées. These radical changes combined with the financial strain coming from the renewed war engagement in Italy and in the East that will increase Venetian fiscal demand, will locally set a trend for the development around communal finances of a new apparatus, replacing the old system based on customs. Though beneficial for the whole community, this system will be largely managed by local governing families; its roots will be public borrowing from private businessmen (often, relations to the members of the political management) and the commercialisation of a portion of the communal properties

Full textAbstract:
This research revises some key issues also from a histographic point of view and, on the bases of the public Venetian sources that means from the perspective of the people who produce the government documentation. It analizes the relathionship between Venice and Padua University as an exercise of power, existing in a state structure which changes continuously
In my research I have studied the Venetian domination of Padua in the time frame of abaut a century (1405-1509).
This research aims to confirm, to correct and to delve into the fundamental aspects of the relationship between the political action of the Venetian Dominio and the complex and stratified University context at Padua
The sources whic have been used, mostly reported in the corpus of documents in this essay, were produced by the most important government institutions and judiciary authorities of Venice (Senato, Collegio, Signoria, Quarantia Criminale), by the Venetian rectors (Podestà and capitano) and by Civic Council of Padua.
The topic of the first chapter is the financing of Studium by an ordinary budget and extraordinary found deriving from fiscal incomes and other savings. Venice tried to reduce the number of chaires and the professors salaries.
In the second chapter I studied the way to do the rotulo and the istitutional process to engagement of the doctores famosi, they were in a “interuniversitary professors market”. In this context venetian rectores had the main importance part, with extensive powers of control, intervention and initiative.
The relationship between universitates of students and Venetian government is the third chapter topic in which we can see the formal respect of students libertates by Venice, but also the limitation of students autonomy in the professors choise. The universitary monopoly and scholastic protectionism of Padua Studium, made by Venice since the first years of its Padua domination, are the ways to guarantee a lot of students (as Venice promises to Padua citizens in the 1406 with bolla d'oro) and also to achieve political and social meaning in the framework of Venetian Terraferma during the XVth century.<br>Questa ricerca rielabora alcuni nuclei problematici, anche dal punto di vista storiografico, e, sulla base delle fonti pubbliche veneziane, cioè dalla prospettiva di chi produce la documentazione di governo, analizza il rapporto tra Venezia e lo Studio padovano come esperienza di potere, inserita in una compagine statuale in continua ridefinizione.
Le fonti usate, in larga misura trascritte nel Corpus documentario della presente tesi di dottorato, sono state prodotte dai massimi organi di governo e giudiziari di Venezia (Senato, Collegio, Signoria, Quarantia Criminale), dai rettori veneziani e dal Consiglio civico di Padova.
La ricerca da me svolta ha studiato la dominazione veneziana di Padova nell'arco di poco più di un secolo (1405-1509). L'obiettivo del presente studio consiste nel confermare, correggere e approfondire gli aspetti fondamentali dei rapporti tra l’azione politica del Dominio veneziano e la complessa e stratificata realtà universitaria della città ormai suddita. L'argomento del primo capitolo è il finanziamento dello Studio, che avveniva attraverso lo stanziamento di un budget ordinario e di fondi straordinari derivanti da introiti fiscali e da risparmi su altri capitoli di spesa della Camera fiscale di Padova. Venezia inoltre tentò di ridurre il più possibile il numero delle cattedre finanziate con denaro della Camera fiscale di Padova gestito da Camerlenghi veneziani e l'importo degli stipendi dei docenti.
Nel secondo capitolo vengono studiati i passaggi decisionali attuati per la definizione del rotulo (organigramma dei docenti) e si fa luce sui meccanismi istituzionali che portavano all'ingaggio dei doctores famosi, inseriti in un mercato dei docenti interuniversitario. Nella gestione locale di questi aspetti che riguardavano il corpo docente, ebbero un ruolo di coordinamento sempre più marcato i rettori veneziani di Padova (podestà e capitano) con poteri di controllo, intervento e iniziativa.
Il rapporto tra le universitates studentesche e il governo veneziano è trattato nel terzo capitolo, nel quale si evidenzia che, pur nel rispetto formale delle tradizionali libertates studentesche sancite dagli statuti universitari, Venezia limitò alcuni fondamentali aspetti dell'autonomia degli studenti come la scelta dei professori. Inoltre il monopolio universitario e il protezionismo scolastico dello Studio di Padova, inaugurato da Venezia sin dai primissimi anni della Dominazione di Padova rientrarono tra gli espedienti per assicurare, come promesso ai cittadini di Padova nella Bolla d'oro del 1406, un maggior afflusso di studenti, ma furono anche misure che ricoprirono più ampie valenze politiche e sociali, nell'ambito di una articolata e complessa compagine statuale come la Terraferma veneta.

Full textAbstract:
La compilation des Navigationi et viaggi, publiée à Venise en trois volumes entre 1550 et 1559, est le point d'aboutissement d'un travail de collecte et d'édition de textes géographiques effectué par le géographe humaniste Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557) au cours de la première moitié du XVIe siècle. Le compilateur entend mettre à jour la description du monde tout en proposant un nouveau modèle de constitution du savoir, dont le point de départ est l'expérience de ceux qui ont pris part aux voyages exploratoires passés et en cours. Ramusio, qui fit toute sa carrière comme secrétaire de chancellerie auprès de la République de Venise, prit appui sur un dense réseau de collaborateurs qui lui fournirent témoignages et récits de voyages. Ce travail de recherche offre pour la première fois une analyse conjointe de la figure de Ramusio comme géographe de cabinet et comme secrétaire de chancellerie, tout en inscrivant son activité dans le contexte de la Venise du début de l'âge moderne.La première partie de la thèse propose une reconstitution, fondée sur un travail d'archives, du laboratoire de Ramusio : les institutions de la République de Venise, le milieu savant italien et le monde de l'édition vénitien. Par l'étude de son statut et de sa démarche, l'interrelation entre ses intérêts propres et ses prérogatives professionnelles est mise en évidence. La deuxième partie porte sur la compilation, elle aborde à la fois les modèles suivis, les choix inédits de mise en forme et les processus de sélection des sources. Les intentions et le projet de Ramusio sont étudiés sur la base de ses propres écrits – les discorsi des Navigationi et viaggi – dans la troisième partie, où l'analyse porte sur la compilation comme ouvrage de géographie politique<br>The three-volume compilation, Navigationi et viaggi, published in Venice from 1550 to 1559, is the work of the humanist geographer Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557), who collected and edited geographical texts throughout the first half of the 16th century. The compiler attempted to update the description of the known world by employing new modes of knowledge, primarily based on the experiences of those who had taken part in exploratory travels. Ramusio, who served the Republic of Venice as a secretary at the chancellery, benefited from a broad network of collaborators who provided him with testimonies and travel accounts. My research offers the first joint analysis of Ramusio, the armchair geographer and secretary, within the context of early-modern Venice.Based on archival research, the first part of this work offers a reconstruction of Ramusio’s laboratory as part of the institutions of the Republic of Venice, the scholarly environment of Italy, and the world of Venetian publishing. The interrelation between his own interests and his professional prerogatives is established through a study of his scholarly approach and official role. The second part of this study focuses on the compilation, taking into account Ramusio’s influences, as well as his original choices for the organisation and selection of knowledge and sources. The objectives of this work of political geography are examined in the third part through an analysis of Ramusio’s own writings, the Navigationi et viaggi’s discorsi

En 1729, la Corse débute quarante ans de révolte militairement organisée, justifiée par des arguments historiques, juridiques et théologiques contre la République de Gênes. L’instabilité d’une île de la Méditerranée occidentale occupant une position stratégique de première importance pour le commerce et la guerre maritimes, devient un enjeu dans les rivalités des monarchies occidentales. Sous l’impulsion de Luigi Giafferi, capitaine à Venise lors de la première guerre de Morée, porte-parole des Nobles XII, le mouvement s’appuie sur un réseau de notables de la côte orientale de la Corse et d’officiers corses résidant dans les États de Venise : le lieutenant colonel Giafferi, frère de Luigi, les colonels Giappiconi et Zicavo, au service de la République, et le brigadier général Boeri, ancien colonel vénitien passé au service de la Cour de Parme puis de l’Espagne. A partir de sources originales d’archives, cette thèse rétablit le rôle central des prédécesseurs de Pascal Paoli, illustre quelques aspects mal connus de la complexité des rivalités internationales autour de la Corse, et met en lumière le rôle des entrepreneurs de guerre corses dans l’orientation et le financement de l’insurrection<br>In 1729, Corsica entered a forty year period of militarily organised revolt against the Republic of Genoa, justified by historical, legal and theological arguments. The instability of this western Mediterranean island, situated as it was at a strategic position of prime importance for commerce and naval warfare, made it an important factor in the rivalries between Western monarchies. Under the leadership of Luigi Giafferi, a captain in the Venetian army during the first Morean War and the representative of the “Noble Twelve”, the movement was supported by a group of clan leaders from the East coast of Corsica and Corsican officers based in the Venetian States: Lieutenant Colonel Giafferi, the brother of Luigi, Colonels Giappiconi and Zicavo, in the service of the Venetian republic, and the Brigadier General Boeri, a former colonel in the Venetian army who had gone on to serve at the courts of Parma and of Spain. Based on original archival sources, this thesis reconstructs the central role played by the predecessors of Pascal Paoli, sheds light on some lesser known aspects of the complex international rivalries over Corsica and underlines the role of Corsican “entrepreneurs de guerre” in financing and influencing the direction of the insurrection

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, the research questions of foreigners and of the commercial use of consuls has attracted renewed scholarly attention. This dissertation aims to continue the reflections of these works by focusing on rights and privileges of protected foreign subjects and consuls during the early modern period. By examining the status of Venetian subjects and consuls in early modern Ottoman society this dissertation underscores the processes of identification that determined the social inclusion or exclusion of individuals among the category of protected foreigners.
The dissertation has three main goals. The first is to analyse the professional and social background of consuls in the Eastern Mediterranean between seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This point focuses on the ability of some individuals to enjoy some privileges, from which non-Muslim “locals” were excluded, by constituting social associations with the Republic of Venice. The second goal is to examine the reasons that motivated these individuals to seek a formal recognition of their status as consuls. This examination underscores the processes of appointment of consuls and the role of candidates on the configuration of consular systems. The last goal proposes an analysis of the role played by Venetian consuls in the diffusion of legal procedures of identification and registration, and it focuses on the use of legal and diplomatic resources in identification disputes. It particularly points out which were the documents and social practices that determined one’s membership and his registration in the Venetian nation in the Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, it analyses identification disputes dating from 1670 to 1715 between Venetian consuls and Ottomans officials by focusing on how the cross-cultural diplomatic negotiations of these disputes were channeled through the Ottoman petition system.
The cases presented will provide important insights on the instability of belonging, in which the classification of individuals was determined by rigid fiscal and legal categories as well as by more fluid social relations. This dissertation aims, therefore, to offer a new consideration on the utility of consuls for the different social groups that benefitted from consular services dating from 1670 to 1715. Overall, it seeks to demonstrate that the consulates in the Ottoman Empire, interpreted in their social utility, must be considered as actors able of influencing jurisdictional practices and creating new norms through constant negotiations with institutions and with individual actors.
This dissertation relies on documentation preserved at the Archivio di Stato di Venezia — in most cases, letters sent by the Venetian consuls to the bailo, the permanent ambassador in Istanbul. Usually contained petitionary reports, these consular letters rhetorically requested the restoration of justice, that is to say, either the enforcement of a legal resource or the redress of unjust identification committed by the local authorities. Decrees and letters written by different Venetian institution concerning consuls, trade and migration policy will be analysed to underscore the efficiency consuls had for the Venetian government. Finally, studying legal documents produced by consulate chancellery provide an important insight into the social life of the Venetian community in the Ottoman Empire. This research casts light upon institutional resources available to social actors to produce evidence of their own identity in a context of jurisdictional competition. But it will also show how the ability to enjoy some privileges, and not only some rights, through diplomatic negotiation decided the classification of people as foreigners or subjects.

In this regard, this study aims to examine the phenomenon of overtourism, as a productive machine that consumes its own resources by unfolding its roots and impacts in terms of economic, environmental, and social. So, Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle Model and the destination carrying capacity are addressed to enlighten the economics of overtourism. The second part focuses on the case of Venice and its tourism economic history, explaining how it exceeded its capacity. Along with these, the counterproductive deseasonalization policies, the tourism change over time, and their outcomes are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This work intends to analyze the link between politics and secrecy in early modern Venice. Seventeenth-century Europe has seen the birth of periodical press and the beginning of a market of information. Venice was one of the main European centers involved in the dissemination of news during XVI° and XVII° centuries. Secrecy also had a great importance in the ideology of Venetian ruling class. It was an essential premise for the harmony and serenity of the Republic and important as well for the efficiency of policy-making. The Serenissima had also another peculiarity: its form of government involved several hundreds of patricians and bureaucrats, such posing serious threats to the preservation of State secrets. The great awareness of the importance of secrecy among the Venetian patriciate, led to the institution of the Inquisitori di Stato. This magistrature was specifically created to watch over the spread of State secrets and it was also involved in the organization of intelligence and counter-intelligence services. Through the analysis of its activity, that became more and more important during the Seventeenth century, and the study of internal political communication at Palazzo ducale I could understand the structure of the institutions involved in foreign politics and in the management of State secrets. Then I focused my attention on the methods of preservation of both confidential documents and information and finally to the organization of Venetian secret services, paying attention also to the dissemination of news in late Seventeenth-century Venice in both oral and written dimensions.

L’Europa del Seicento fu teatro della nascita dei primi mezzi di comunicazione periodici e di un mercato dell’informazione. Venezia fu uno dei centri principali attorno ai quali si sviluppò la circolazione delle informazioni a tra XVI° e XVII° secolo. Nella Repubblica marciana, inoltre, la segretezza aveva un ruolo fondamentale nell’ideologia politica della classe dirigente: essa era lo strumento principale per la salvaguardia dell’armonia e della coesione interna, oltre che il presupposto fondamentale di ogni azione di governo. Ma la Repubblica aveva anche un’altra peculiarità: una forma di governo in cui la classe dirigente era formata da centinaia di persone, che poneva seri problemi alla conservazione del segreto di Stato. La grande sensibilità del patriziato veneziano verso questo tema, portò alla creazione nel XVI° degli Inquisitori di Stato, un’istituzione che aveva come scopo costitutivo la sorveglianza sulla propalazione dei segreti e l’organizzazione dello spionaggio. Attraverso l’analisi della sua attività - giunta a pieno regime nella seconda metà del Seicento - e della comunicazione interna a Palazzo ducale ho potuto comprendere l’assetto istituzionale dei maggiori consigli della Repubblica coinvolti nella gestione del segreto di Stato e nella politica estera della Repubblica (Consiglio di Dieci, Collegio, Senato) per poi rivolgere la mia attenzione alle tecniche usate per la conservazione dei documenti e delle informazioni riservati e infine all’organizzazione dello spionaggio e alla circolazione delle informazioni nella Venezia seicentesca, nella sua dimensione orale e scritta.

Full textAbstract:
The XXXII Venice Biennale, held in 1964, presented an important moment in the history of American art, for it was the first time that an American painter was awarded the major prize at the prestigious international show. The fact that Robert Rauschenberg captured the most coveted award of the Biennale, the Grand Prize for painting, had major repercussions for the art scene in the United States and the international art community. For the Americans, the prize was "proof" that American art had finally come into its own, that through its struggle for recognition over the European avant-garde, it had finally reached its well-deserved place as leader of the pack. For the Europeans, especially the French, the award represented the "last frontier" of American expansionism--for it seemed that the economic and military dominance of the United States finally had been supplemented by cultural dominance. It seems pertinent to this study to examine the French response in particular, since they had traditionally dominated Biennale prizes. By analyzing the French reviews and responses to the prize, and situating these in a broader political context, I will discuss how the U.S. was perceived as the new cultural leader, despite the vehement objections to the culture of the New Frontier, which seemed to be only Coke bottles, stuffed eagles and carelessly dripped paint.
Given the vehement objections engendered by the Rauschenberg victory, it seems somewhat curious that the United States would choose Rauschenberg as a representative of American culture. In order to discover how the pop imagery in the work was linked to the image : of U.S. culture promoted by the U.S. Information Agency (the government agency responsible for the show), it is necessary to analyze the cultural and intellectual debates of the early 1960s. Rejecting earlier notions that high art should remain separate from mass culture, a prominent group of intellectuals argued for a "new sensibility" in art which would embrace popular culture, thereby elevating it. This positive notion of a single, all-embracing culture corresponds to a more general optimism among many intellectuals; their rallying cry was the "end of ideology," which disdained radical critique in favor of the promise of Kennedy's "progressivism" and the welfare state. These intellectuals argued that while the system was not perfect, any major problems could be averted by simply "fine-tuning" the existing state; in the meantime, the promise of Kennedy's New Frontier required a more affirmative than critical stance. The elements shared between these discourses on culture and society at this time were of seminal importance to the critical understanding of Rauschenberg's work, particularly as it was presented at the Biennale.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
The Merchant of Venice's seemingly disconnected and interweaving plots contribute to the difficulty of assessing its characters and genre. The comic-tragic ambiguity of the character of Shylock only deepens this ambiguity. There is a precedent in the literature for looking to Aristotle and the Poetics to inform the study of the Shakespeare canon, but few have attempted to understand MV in terms of the taxonomy of ancient classical poetics. I attempt to do this, and find this approach very fruitful for addressing some of the problematic characteristics of the play, especially with regard to plot and character. Specifically, I find that the disunified plot simulates the 'fog' of indecision that surrounds making choices under the constraints of time and limited information, and that the structure of the play places the audience in the position of experiencing how the relatively fixed goals of the characters shift and become distorted as they encounter new and dissonant information.<br>Les intrigues entremelees et sans lien apparent du Marchant de Venise contribuent a rendre la caracterisation de la piece difficile, tant selon le genre que la structure. L'ambiguite du personnage de Shylock, entre comique et tragique, ne fait que renforcer cette incertitude. Certains se sont deja tournes vers Aristote et la Poetique pour construire leur etude litteraire du cannon shakesperien, mais jusqu'ici rares sont ceux qui ont tente de comprendre specifiquement Le MV en s'appuyant sur la taxinomie de la poetique classique ancienne. J'essaie de faire cela, et cette approche me semble enrichir la comprehension de certaines des caracteristiques problematiques de la piece, surtout en ce qui concerne le concept d'intrigue et celui de personnage. En particulier, l'intrigue multiple me semble simuler le "brouillard" d'indecision qui entoure les choix sous contraintes de temps et d'information limitee, et la structure de la piece me semble ainsi permettre a l'audience d'experimenter comment les buts relativement fixes des personnages se deplacent et se transforment, tandis qu'ils font face a des informations nouvelles et dissonantes, a travers une rapide succession de retournements de situation.

Prezzi di vendita dei concorrenti più bassi, crisi di vocazione, globalizzazione e crisi economica sono fattori che hanno segnato un’interruzione di molti mestieri manifatturieri.
Ma dietro un lavoro manuale c’è il prestigio di una tradizione secolare: ci devono essere incentivi fiscali e valorizzazioni delle competenze, ed investimenti nella formazione di giovani maestri che apprendano abilità manuali, tecniche e conoscitive che tutto il resto del mondo ci invidia da secoli. Il settore manifatturiero italiano è un distretto ricco e vivace, dinamico ed interessante per chi, ora come non mai, ricerca storia e cultura in quello che compra. Ma lavoro artigianale non vuole essere sinonimo di passato poiché non si rimanda a nessun tipo di nostalgia per quello che è stato. Il nuovo artigiano è una figura molto più complessa che si rivolge al futuro e ad un mondo globale.
Ecco che la città di Venezia, con il suo turismo e le sue scuole ed arti conosciute in tutto il mondo, diventano il punto centrale su cui ruota tutta la tesi. I vetri di Murano, i merletti di Burano e le maschere apprezzate in tutto il mondo devono essere rivalorizzati, perché questa che ci ha colpito è principalmente una crisi di valori. Azioni online ed offline saranno accompagnate da idee di nuova generazione: la stampa in 3D, nuovi dispositivi e suggerimenti di applicazioni saranno riportati in questo scritto per essere una valida soluzione alla crisi del settore manifatturiero veneziano ed italiano.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how Venice's church architecture was shaped by the Counter Reformation between 1550-1700. It provides a snapshot of the situation with four pertinent case studies representing the broad spectrum of Venice's churches. Chapter One focuses on San Nicolo di Ldo, a church that was part of the proactive Cassinese Congregation. The church was rebuilt entirely and represents an almost ideal response to the Counter Reformation. Chapter Two looks at the rebuilt parish church of San Moise and it tackles the compromises that inevitably came with many competing factors. Chapters Three and Four look at how older churches were renewed and retrofitted with new features, adapting their existing structures to cater for new requirements as stipulated by the Council of Trent decrees or pamphlets such as Carlo Borromeo's Instructiones. Chapter Three hones in on Santo Stefano, a large monastic Gothic church, while Chapter Four looks at the considerably smaller Byzantine parish church of San Nicolo dei Mendicoli. This thesis highlights many similarities between the four buildings (and others in Venice), which exemplify key facets of the reform movement and the pluralistic and complex challenges faced by each church.

Full textAbstract:
Venice Beach, CA is a vibrant city with a very interesting history. The way the city sits today is much different than the way Mr. Kinney designed it in the early 1900s. Venice Beach was originally supposed to be a Venice similar to the Italian city in California. The original city had canals, a miniature railroad and eventually amusement attractions.
The purpose of re-designing Venice Beach was to bring historical value back to the city that it has lost over the years, as well as create more community centered areas and efficiency for tourists. After analyzing both visual and quantitative data, I created a problem statement which defined the four-fold problem thusly: tourists are present in all parts of town, lack of/poorly planned parking causes major problems, the city has lost some of its historical roots, there is a large socio-economic disparity between the rich and the homeless in the city and there is a need for a community center. The requirements for the project were then defined as: (1) Shall make parking more available. (2) Shall restore the historical properties of the city by adding more publicly visible canal(s) (3) Shall make new parking areas within 5 minutes of a walk to the new canal(s) (4) Shall create a sanctuary for the homeless. (5) Shall create a community center (for learning and community programs).
The four alternatives for solving the problem were created as design options for this "community centered city" design. Alternative 1 created a new canal where Speedway Road is currently. Alternative 2 and 3 were an expansion of Alternative 1. Alternative 2 created bridges over the new canal as well as a new open space between North Venice Blvd and South Venice Blvd, from Pacific Way to Venice Way. Alternative 3 was a culmination of the Alt 1 and 2, plus added mixed-use buildings, as well as a homeless shelter, community center and new parking garages. The mixed-use buildings would be erected on both sides of the new canal. The homeless shelter and community center would replace some businesses and houses in the triangle between Marr St., Oxford Ave. and Washington Street. The additional parking would be created in two places, on the northeast corner of Washington Ave and Pacific Ave as well as the northeast corner of Windward Ave and Pacific Ave all the way to Westminster Park.
A Digital Logic Parameterization Weighting System Table was used for the evaluation of alternatives. The properties used for analysis were: increased tourists, capital cost, long term cost, feasibility, schedule, restoring historical value and better community involvement. The first step was to compare each property against each other in order to figure out which one should have the highest emphasis or importance to further the evaluation (creating an emphasis coefficient). After finding the emphasis coefficients, I evaluated each alternative on the properties defined in the weighting table. Then, I compared each seemingly incomparable data set to alternatives through scaling by using the maximum and minimum properties and the emphasis coefficient. The overall performance index was created by compiling the scaled properties, determining that Alternative 3 was the "best" option.
It was determined that lean methods could be used in the project construction. Also, many system engineering heuristics and lessons learned from other projects could be applied to the project. The principles of quality and verification of requirements can all be applied to the project. Many models were used to determine the activities, structure and principles of the design. Using this new design for Venice Beach could create a great future. This design would attract more tourists and provide the community with resources needed. Future work includes finding the resources to make my re-design become a reality.

Previous issue date: 2016-02-15<br>FIEPE<br>This study was conducted with objective to identify maturation indices for the ideal point of apple picking of the new cultivar 'Venice' (Experiment 1) and the potential of post-harvest conservation of fruits of this cultivar subjected to different storage technologies (Experiment 2). Fruit for the first experiment were harvested, in Fraiburgo, SC, between 144 and 172 days after full bloom (DAFB), and stored for 240 days under an atmosphere of air (AA) at 0.5±0,5 °C, and 265 days under controlled atmosphere (CA, 1.5 kPa of O2 and 1.5 kPa of CO2) at 0.7 ± 0.5 °C. Fruits for the second experiment were harvested at 158 and 154 DAFB in February 2013 and 2014, respectively, in an experimental orchard located in Fraiburgo, SC. The apples were treated or not with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and stored for up to 300 days (10 months) in AA (0.5±0.5 °C and RH 85±5%) or CA (1.5 kPa of O2 and 1.5 kPa CO2) at 0.7±0.5 °C and RH 93 ±3%). The maturation and the quality of apples were analyzed one day after harveste, and after every two months of storage. According to the first experiment, when intended for immediate marketing, 'Venice' apples should be harvested 158-172 DAFB, due to the increased size and red color percentage in the skin in relation to early crops (144 and 151 DAFB). Maturity indices for the period 158-172 DAFB ranged from 15.3 to 16.5 lb for firmness, 12.9 to 13.4% for soluble solids (SS), 0.291 to 0.338% for titratable acidity (TA), from 8.2 to 9.0 to starch ratio (scale 1-9), and 3.7 to 4.3 for background color index (scale 1-5). The ideal point of apple picking 'Venice' intended for long storage periods occurred between 144 and 151
DAFB, by providing greater firmness after storage compared to fruits harvested 158-172 DAFB. Maturity indices for fruits harvested in the period of 144 and 151 DAFB ranged from 17.2 to 18.0 lb for firmness, 11.8 to 12.5% for SS, 0.350 to 0.356% for TA, of 3.0 to 5.5 for starch index and 2.1 to 3.1 for background color index. The second experiment results indicate the potential storage of apples is minimal (less than 6 months) when stored under AA without 1-MCP. In this storage condition, the apples have a higher incidence of rottenness and higher respiratory rate and ethylene production, as well as yellower skin color, less firmness and lower titratable acidity and soluble solids compared to other conditions of storage. 'Venice' Apple has a potential storage exceeding 8 months under AC regardless of treatment with 1-MCP, keeping firmness of 14 lb and low incidence of disorders even after 10 months<br>Este estudo foi realizado com objetivos de identificar índices de maturação para o ponto ideal de colheita de maçãs da nova cultivar ‘Venice’ (Experimento 1) e o potencial de conservação pós-colheita dos frutos dessa cultivar submetidas a diferente tecnologias de armazenagem (Experimento 2). Frutos para o primeiro experimento foram colhidos semanalmente, no município de Fraiburgo, SC, no período de 144 a 172 dias após a plena floração (DAPF), e armazenados por 240 dias sob atmosfera do ar (AA) a 0,5±0,5 °C, e por 265 dias sob atmosfera controlada (AC, 1,5 kPa de O2 e 1,5 kPa de CO2) a 0,7±0,5 °C. Frutos para o segundo experimento foram colhidos aos 158 e 154 DAPF em fevereiro de 2013 e de 2014, respectivamente, em um pomar experimental localizado no município de Fraiburgo, SC. As maçãs foram tratadas ou não com 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP) e armazenadas por até 300 dias (10 meses) em AA (0,5±0,5 °C e UR de 85±5%) ou em AC (1,5 kPa de O2 e 1,5 kPa de CO2) a 0,7±0,5 °C e UR de 93±3%). A maturação e a qualidade das maçãs foram analisadas um dia após a colheita, e a cada dois meses de armazenagem. De acordo com o primeiro experimento, quando destinadas à comercialização imediata, maçãs ‘Venice’ devem ser colhidas de 158 a 172 DAPF, devido ao aumento do tamanho e do percentual de cor vermelha na epiderme em relação às colheitas precoces (144 e 151 DAPF). Os índices de maturação para o período de 158 a 172 DAPF variaram de 15,3 a 16,5 lb para firmeza de polpa, de 12,9 a 13,4% para sólidos solúveis (SS), de 0,291 a 0,338% para acidez
titulável (AT), de 8,2 a 9,0 para índice de amido (em escala de 1-9) e de 3,7 a 4,3 para índice de cor de fundo (em escala de 1-5). O ponto ideal de colheita de maçãs ‘Venice’ destinadas a longos períodos de armazenagem ocorreu entre 144 e 151 DAPF, por proporcionar maior firmeza de polpa após o armazenamento em relação aos frutos colhidos de 158 a 172 DAPF. Os índices de maturação para frutos colhidos no período de 144 e 151 DAPF variaram de 17,2 a 18,0 lb para firmeza de polpa, de 11,8 a 12,5% para SS, de 0,350 a 0,356% para AT, de 3,0 a 5,5 para índice de amido e de 2,1 a 3,1 para índice de cor de fundo. Resultados do segundo experimento indicam que o potencial de armazenagem das maçãs é mínimo (menor de 6 meses) quando armazenadas sob AA, sem 1-MCP. Nessa condição de armazenagem, as maçãs apresentam maior incidência de podridões e maiores taxas respiratória e de produção de etileno, bem como uma coloração da epiderme mais amarela, menor firmeza de polpa e menor acidez titulável e teor de sólidos solúveis em comparação a demais condições de armazenagem. Maçãs ‘Venice’ apresentam potencial de armazenagem superior a 8 meses sob AC, independentemente do tratamento com 1-MCP, mantendo firmeza superior a 14 lb e baixo índice de distúrbios mesmo depois de 10 meses

Full textAbstract:
Questo elaborato si propone di approfondire il tema della comunicazione interculturale in ambito turistico, prendendo come spunto di ricerca il turista internazionale che si reca a Venezia. La domanda di fondo è se questa ormai longeva destinazione turistica sia preparata ad accogliere turisti che provengono da culture lontane e parlano lingue diverse.
Oggigiorno la domanda turistica è sempre più internazionalizzata. La crescente globalizzazione e la diffusione di nuove tecnologie permettono al turista moderno di trovare qualsiasi informazione e organizzare il viaggio in anticipo. Inoltre, il profilo del turista (e del consumatore in generale) diventa sempre più complesso: è più informato e più esigente, di conseguenza anche l‘offerta, inizialmente improntata su di un’ottica orientata al prodotto, ora si sposta sempre più verso il consumatore stesso, mirando a soddisfarne le esigenze. Varietà, flessibilità e personalizzazione sono gli elementi chiave dell’offerta odierna. Tuttavia, avere a che fare con un turista internazionale comporta maggiori sfide rispetto a un turista nazionale: la componente culturale e linguistica contribuiscono a rendere lo scambio comunicativo più problematico. Saper comunicare efficacemente impone una presa di coscienza della diversità, non solo linguistica ma anche e soprattutto culturale e sociale. La cultura, dopotutto, influenza costantemente i nostri comportamenti, le nostre aspettative, le nostre idee e costruzioni mentali: nel mondo del turismo è importante non sottovalutare tali aspetti per poter offrire un servizio all’ altezza del consumatore-turista. Attraverso questa tesi si intendono analizzare gli aspetti rilevanti della comunicazione interculturale, capendone le problematiche e trovando le possibili soluzioni per una comunicazione efficace. Essere coscienti delle nostre differenze culturali è il primo passo verso la comprensione dell’altro e verso la possibilità di offrire un’esperienza turistica positiva.
In questo contesto la presenza di una lingua franca come l’inglese acquisisce un ruolo fondamentale nel permettere una comunicazione efficace tra l’ospite straniero e il personale turistico italiano. Varie strategie sono impiegate tra parlanti non nativi di inglese, al fine di superare le difficoltà linguistiche e rendere i messaggi chiari e comprensibili.
Attraverso l’analisi del caso di Venezia, verranno individuate le problematiche esistenti nella comunicazione tra il personale turistico e il turista straniero, sia per quanto riguarda le barriere culturali che quelle linguistiche, ma anche per ciò che concerne il livello e la qualità di informazione che la destinazione turistica offre.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the compiler design for VENICE, a new soft vector processor (SVP). The compiler is a new back-end target for the Microsoft Accelerator, a high-level data parallel library in C/C++ and C\#. This allows automatic compilation from high-level programs into VENICE assembly code, thus avoiding the process of writing assembly code used by previous SVPs. Experimental results show the compiler can generate scalable parallel code with execution times that are comparable to human-optimized VENICE assembly code. On data-parallel applications, VENICE at 100MHz on an Altera DE3 platform runs at speeds comparable to one core of a 2.53GHz Intel Xeon E5540 processor, beating it in performance on four of six benchmarks by up to 3.2x. The compiler also delivers near-linear scaling performance on five of six benchmarks, which exceed scalability of the Multi-core target of Accelerator.

Zucca, Amy Marie. "Images of Moses and sixteenth-century Venice." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2002. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2838/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the striking proliferation of Moses imagery in sixteenth-century Venice by considering the images as a distinctive category. Although the narratives of Moses can be found elsewhere in Italy, the Venetian treatment of these subjects is distinguished by their number and their placement not in private chapels but in locations available to a broad audience. Additionally, a contrast can be made between the central Italian examples, which display variations on a political theme originally established by St. Thomas Aquinas, and the peculiar Venetian approach to the prophet, influenced by the city’s Byzantine roots and its constitution. In tracing the development of this imagery in the sixteenth century, initial consideration must be given to the roots of its stylistic interpretation in the Veneto where paintings for chapels of the Sacrament exhibit the group-oriented compositions that characterize the works throughout the period. In this context, the pioneering work of Jacopo Tintoretto forms the principal focus of this thesis, arguing that he was the first to introduce Moses imagery into Venice on a monumental scale. In his works for the main chapel of the Church of the Madonna dell’Orto and the ceiling of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, the image of Moses takes on heightened theological significance in the general religious context of the Counter Reformation and in particular Venetian contexts of parish and confraternity. The interplay of such monumental painting and printed book illustration is also considered. It is the influence of Tintoretto’s approach to Moses on later artists that forms in part the foundation for the proliferation of the subjects in the later years of the sixteenth and the early years of the seventeenth century.

Full textAbstract:
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, previously unpublished portions of Thomas Mann's diaries were released for publication. These excerpts contained passages that removed all previous doubt as to Mann's sexual proclivities, affirming his homosexual inclinations. It had been suspected that Mann was homosexual before this time, but there was no conclusive proof until the release of the now-famous (or infamous) diary entries. Now that there is written proof of Mann's sexual orientation, literary scholars can more persuasively argue the often overlooked or circumvented homosexual aspects of his writings. This thesis is an investigation of the homoerotic elements in Thomas Mann's novella, Death in Venice. The present study draws out the homoerotic elements of the text and places them in a socio-historical context. Textual analysis, as it concerns coded homosexual desire, as well as a biographical schema of Mann highlight the homoerotic characterizations in the novella. The analysis is based in an historical context, a time when homosexual expression was strictly illegal. The tension created between Mann's need to process his homosexuality and his internal moral code - as well as the external moral code of Wilhelmine Germany - forced him to contrive a story in which he could only present homosexual desire in code or via allusions to the homosexuality of Ancient Greece.

Place marketing has become an active practice more than two decades ago and is actively used around the world. Successful examples of marketing and branding strategies in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris, etc. encourage new cities to try this popular approach. However, in reality it turns out that only a few of the implemented strategies become successful and solve the assigned tasks.
To better understand the strategy and process of place marketing, it is necessary to talk not only about general recommendations, but also to focus on the complex aspects and pitfalls.
The purpose of this thesis is to identify the features and difficulties in place marketing, find and analyze them on the example of an unsuccessful strategy of the M9 district, Venezia-Mestre and suggest methods to implement better strategies.

Full textAbstract:
My dissertation examines the cultural history of the Renaissance Venetian maritime empire. In this project I bring into conversation two historiographical subfields, the intellectual history of Venetian Renaissance humanism and the colonial history of the early modern Mediterranean, which have previously developed separately. In doing so, I examine the relationship between power and knowledge as it unfolded in the early modern Mediterranean. The ways in which Venetian Renaissance intellectual culture was shaped by its imperial engagements - and, conversely, how Venetian approaches to governance were inflected by humanist practices - are the central axes of my dissertation. In the first part of the dissertation, I examine the ways in which writing and textual collecting were used by elite Venetian readers to represent the geopolitical dimensions of their empire. I consider a group of manuscripts and printed books which contain technical, navigational, and cartographic writing and images about Venetian mercantile and imperial activity in the Mediterranean. In the second part, I undertake two case-studies of Venetian patrician governors who were trained in the humanist schools of Venice, before being posted to colonial offices in Dalmatia and the Aegean, respectively. I examine how their education in Venice as humanists influenced their experience and practice of governance in the stato da mar. Their personal texts offer an alternative intellectual history of empire, one which demonstrates the formation of political thought amongst the men actually practicing and experiencing imperial governance. Overall, I aim to build a picture of the ways in which literary culture, the physical world of the stato da mar, and political thought came to be entwined in the Venetian Renaissance; and then to describe how these dense relationships worked for the Venetian administrators who experienced them in the Mediterranean.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 103).<br>For the prevention of flooding of Venice a system of gates to close the inlets of the lagoon has been designed. Each system is composed of a series of 20 hollow gates hinged at the bottom. In the present work a linear theory is developed first to study the motions of the gates forced by a monochromatic incident wave. The gates are assumed to be vertical and the fluid domain is approximated to a channel of infinite length on the Adriatic side and to a semi infinite space on the lagoon side. Several theorems based on Green's formula are developed to get a deeper understanding of the physics of the problem and to check both the theory and the numerical computations performed. In particular, the law of energy conservation is derived. The amplitude of gates motion, added mass and radiation damping are reported for a large interval of periods. Synchronous resonance of the gates is found and the occurrence of negative added masses is reported and discussed.<br>by Andrea Adamo.<br>S.M.

Longo, S. "Culture, tourism and fascism in Venice 1919-1945." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2005. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1416334/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis engages with recent debates surrounding the relationship between culture, ideology and politics in Venice under Italian Fascism. It aims to establish if the Fascist project for the 'nationalization of the masses' through culture was successfully promoted in Venice, or whether local economic interests were afforded a higher priority by the town authorities. It argues that local elites were not primarily concerned with the endorsement of Fascist ideology through cultural politics but considered exhibitions, plays, concerts and festivals to be the route to boosting economic growth through the development of the tourist industry. The thesis examines the ways in which the Venetian municipality was able to work with the Fascist regime, co-operating with national political directives provided these did not contradict the primary objective of restructuring and reviving the Venetian economy. Cultural policies in Venice were thus less a vehicle for Fascist ideology than a pragmatic means of injecting new life into the flagging post-war economy through the development of new forms of 'cultural tourism'. Festivals, exhibitions and traditional events were placed at the service not of the Fascist programme of mass cultural mobilisation, but of local business and political elites whose interests ultimately depended upon the revitalization of commercial tourism and the economic and social rejuvenation of the Veneto region. The familiar image of a 'totalitarian' state penetrating deep into all aspects of society is in need of serious qualification and a more realistic interpretation of Fascism in Venice must take account of the complex and sometimes ambiguous relationship between the national interest, as constructed by ideologically-driven Fascist organs and agencies, and the requirements of institutions and elites at the local level.

Thesis: M. Arch., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, February, 2020<br>Cataloged from student-submitted thesis.<br>Development, including urban and architectural, has been driven by the idea of progress aimed at economic and technological growth, which, in turn has been leaving waste in its wake. Waste has thus become the subjects of culture in the 21st century. Our daily life is supported by products that could be understood as waste on life-support, with expiration dates and packaging material that ensure a lengthy and repulsive death, leaving behind durable synthetic corpses. Products of our consumption tend to pile out of sight, contributing to cities and architectures of their own. The binary condition of masking our waste is essentially our embedded cultural flaw, whether through landfills or capped as parks, masking consciousness and ownership as well - our current unsustainable paradigm of growth. Venice will be the first major city to drown because of climate change.<br>It is a city in which experiences of culture, history and architecture are obsessively consumed by a population that vastly surpasses its own citizenry. I intervene in three physical and temporal scales, responding to this binary condition by manifesting its materiality, publicly - through choreography, celebration, and building. This is an alternative way to conceive architecture: Not in the service of progress but in the service of greater self-awareness. Without hoping for a wholesale utopian transformation but accepting various dimensions of our prospects. Each intervention is imagined for a city in which tourism drives the economy, and leaves waste in its wake - in a city caught in an unsustainable cycle of consumption. 1) The choreography of trash renders visible the geographical scale that comes with the displacement of waste through technological instruments and human labor.<br>2) The Carnival sets up a platform to reclaim the public ground, an orchestration of rising sea levels, time, and ownership. It recreates some of the city's most celebrated architecture as ephemera in an event that includes trash in all its inconvenient and uncomfortable presence overtime acclimates citizens to climate change. 3) Venice now, in the early 21st century produces waste above all else, this intervention updates the architectural "monument" to function as a beacon of our Anthropocene.<br>by Valeria Rivera Deneke.<br>M.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises a study of the Venetian sculptured altarpieces during the period 1460 - 1530. During the course of research a surprisingly large number of examples were identified, many of which have so far received little attention. As well as providing an analysis of individual works, the thesis has the wider aim of examining the sculptured altarpiece as a genre, and hence also of contributing towards a greater understanding of the role of sculpture in Italian Renaissance art and society. The main objectives of study are a) a survey of the chronological and formal development of the altarpieces, b) an investigation of their material and the application of polychromy and gilding, as well as of their manufacture and cost, and c) an analysis of the patrons and their interest in sculpture. The thesis, which draws on various archival sources, further includes an appendix of documents, which illustrates in detail the making of a sculptured altar. A catalogue provides a corpus of the major sculptured altarpieces of the period between 1460 and 1530 which can still be identified. The discussion of the objects accompanied by an extensive photographic documentation. Several altars have been reconstructed through careful reading of the documents. Others, which have not hitherto been published, are reproduced and discussed here for the first time. Rather than providing attributions of individual works on the basis of style, the emphasis lies on the cultural-historical analysis of a genre, and on the assessment of the aesthetic and financial value of sculptured altarpieces and the appreciation of sculpture in Venice in general. Complementing previous studies of Venetian painted altarpieces, the results of research presented here aim to contribute to a fuller composite picture of the art market around 1500, and of the whole artistic environment in Venice of the period.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1998.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 131-133).<br>The thesis investigation began with my experience with storytelling. Verbal stories told to me as a child provided a form of cultural continuity. Stories were a way of transferring culture, ideas, religion, morals, and values. The moral of the story changed depending on who was the storyteller. My mother's and later my sister's stories changed depending on my age and my ability to understand. No matter the age, narrative acted as a connection to culture, places, and family. The thesis takes storytelling as an architectural agenda. This leads to the question, Can storytelling be experienced through architecture? The thesis explores the possibility of experiencing storytelling through physical form. The exploration focuses on the act of reading and recording of stories. Providing places for reading and recording is the starting point of the architectural investigation. The program used to explore these issues is a children's shelter in Venice, California. A shelter for children who have been removed from their homes because of abuse, and or neglect. The shelter is a place were storytelling can be re-introduced into the children's lives, since their parents or storytellers are no longer with them.<br>by Sandra Ventura.<br>M.Arch.

Ward, Caroline B. "The Value of Commerce in The Merchant of Venice." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1278.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the pervasive role of commerce in Shakespeare’s comedy The Merchant of Venice, with a particular focus on the characters of Antonio, Bassanio, Shylock, and Portia, and the dual locales of Venice and Belmont. The way in which various characters engage in commerce is a reflection of their individual motives and affiliations. At the same time, the rhetoric of commerce, worth, and value colors the speech of various characters, and influences seemingly extra-commercial considerations such as identity, friendship, religion, socioeconomic status, and love. Ultimately, a close analysis of commercial transaction and language in the play reveals the complex nature of the narrative’s social dynamics and conflicts, and challenges what it means for characters to receive justice and possess agency in the world.
