L’oggetto di studio di questo contributo è la messa in scena dell’Orestea nella rivisitazione di Anagoor. Fedele alla propria estetica, la compagnia mette in scena la trasmissione del dolore e del sentimento della vendetta che colpiscono, come una fatale eredità, le generazioni più giovani della casa degli Atridi. L’eredità traumatica si declina in scena seguendo tre vettori: la parola, l’uso dei corpi e le sovrapposizioni di immaginari in un unico spazio. Il contributo cerca allora...

A genius and cultural figure who transcended the sport he played, Diego Maradona is one of the most important icons of popular football culture. The ‘Pibe de Oro’ attracted attention each time he graced the pitch, perhaps none more so than on the international stage at four World Cup tournaments between 1982-1994. Whilst social science research has failed to unequivocally define the notion of sports heroism, this paper aims to build upon this concept through...

Urban development is closely linked by a continuous cause - effect alternation of technology that finds its maximum application in the city, and in particular in the transport system to support the multiple forms of mobility. From the historical reading of urban processes, it is in fact possible to extrapolate strengths and weaknesses, positive and negative externalities, of mobility and recognize the recurring elements in the evolution of the city form. The aim of the...

The paper summarizes the results obtained from the action research conducted at Politecnico di Milano (2018-2020) for Milan Municipality and MM4 SpA. It is a Masterplan for reorganizing areas and public spaces along the new M4 metro line route. The paper aims to highlight the positive effects that planning at various scales brings to the city in terms of new green areas, new spaces for inhabitants and users, and new routes to get around the...

In order to make our cities more sustainable, the paper describes a research aimed at defining a new urban tool in the context of Agenda 2030. It is the 'Sustainability Charter', a tool that already exists at the international level, but here is analyses at the local level as a result of decision-making process which refers to a set of interactions between academia (the university), industry and local community. One of the priority of the...

Urban regeneration processes represent an opportunity to pursue a sustainable city model. From a sustainable city perspective, the contribution to the redesign of public space and mobility infrastructures and to the improvement of pedestrian and cycle accessibility to local public services is undoubtedly significant. Within this framework, the Italian Region of Emilia-Romagna, promoted an Urban regeneration Call in 2018 to which cities submitted project proposals concerning the redevelopment of both architectural emergencies and public open...

Il concetto di trauma, nella sua declinazione storica o personale, ha assunto ormai un ruolo centrale nel cinema documentario contemporaneo, che non si presenta semplicemente come parte di un processo volto alla mera rappresentazione dell’evento ma diventa in sé uno strumento epistemologico, capace di orientare lo studio delle modalità attraverso le quali memoria e rielaborazione vengono costruite nell’atto stesso di filmare. Il cinema documentario post-traumatico si interroga sulla relazione che intercorre tra trauma storico e...

Il contributo intende proporre alcune riflessioni sulla rappresentazione degli effetti dell’uragano Katrina sulla città di New Orleans e sui suoi abitanti nel documentario When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts diretto da Spike Lee e trasmesso da HBO (2006) e nella serie Treme creata da David Simon con Eric Overmyer e trasmessa dalla medesima emittente (2010-2013). In particolare ci si soffermerà sulle rappresentazioni del rapporto tra evento traumatico-città-abitanti e sulle modalità di spazializzazione...

Secondo la tesi portata avanti da un fortunato libro di Amitav Ghosh (The Great Derangement), il cambiamento climatico eccederebbe per sua stessa natura il territorio del romanzo moderno, ponendo in primo piano quello che la narrativa, dal XIX secolo in poi, ha relegato su uno sfondo sgranato: l’inaudito. L’ascesa del romanzo segna infatti la vittoria del probabile e del verosimile ai danni dello straordinario, relegato negli scompartimenti meno nobili della letteratura. Il romanzo, quindi, procederebbe...

Football and religion maintain a beneficial association and it would not be an exaggeration to say that contemporary football presents the most watched religious performances in the world (Rial, 2012). Some authors even compare football to a new religion. In the multisite ethnographic research about football that I have conducted in more than 15 countries since 2003, I found expressions of devotion to various celebrity players who are treated as “saints” and “messiahs” – yet...

It is difficult to put the phenomenon of Diego Armando Maradona into legal terms. Nevertheless, Maradona contributed to the economic and political landscapes of football as we know them today. The Argentinian legend played an enormous role in popularising football on a global scale and made it a part of popular culture. Maradona was also known for his turbulent relations with football governing bodies, notably with the FIFA, the international football federation. On some occasions...

The death of Argentine football player Diego Maradona on November 25, 2020 caused huge manifestations of public pain. At the same time, it unleashed intense journalistic coverage, which abused words such as myth, symbol, hero, idol and identity. The key question revolved around how far Maradona, an unrivaled athlete and simultaneously a conflictive public figure, for his personal conduct (including sports convictions and criminal cases for drug use) and for his political positions linked to...

In line with literary critical interpretations of Imre Kertész’s works as a series of interconnected texts, this study aims to enter into dialogue with Kertész’s novel Kaddish for an Unborn Child and analyze it as a continuation of his novel Fatelessness, where the decision of the protagonist «to continue my uncontinuable life» is elaborated on, and an alternative life path is conceived. Particular attention is paid to textual references to gender roles and identities by...

Il progetto Texts on the Move mira a mappare la ricezione delle scrittrici russe in Finlandia e la ricezione delle autrici finlandesi (di lingua finlandese e svedese) in Russia. Il concetto di ‘ricezione’ è inteso in senso ampio, includendo non solo le traduzioni, ma anche altri modi in cui i testi si sono mossi e hanno reagito alla transnazionalità, mettendo in evidenza un’ampia gamma di reti letterarie, culturali e sociali. Il progetto offre un nuovo...

In recent decades, the multiple pressures determined by the extremely complex context in which organizations have found themselves operating, have imposed incessant changes in management and strategic policies, in order to face and, therefore, identify new solutions to possible problems. The world of production and, in particular, that of fashion is called upon to assume precise moral responsibilities based on socially shared ethical principles, capable of creating, through wise and far-sighted strategies, a sustainable value...

An Asian rhinoceros skeleton is preserved in the Zoological Museum of the University Federico II of Naples (Italy). The study of the diagnostic characters of the skull has allowed to identify it as Javan rhinoceros, Rhinoceros sondaicus Desmarest, 1822. This specimen is one of the only two skeletons of Javan rhinoceros housed in Italian museums of natural history. This study also provides further morphometric data of the skull.

The essay aims at analysing the figure of the flapper heroine in Christie’s Beresford novels. Tuppence Beresford, the most popular among Christie’s courageous young adventurers, embodies the social and economic independence that various women were experiencing during and after the years of the Great War. She is outspoken, resolute and meets physical danger. She moves between the public and the private spaces using the limits society imposes on women to her advantage. Although Christie does...

This issue brings together a set of contributions by scholars from the humanities and the social sciences who revitalise the figure of the fl neur, and the practice of fl nerie, in order to put them to the test with different objects of study, in the light of different methodological and scientific horizons. The notion of flâneur – employed since the late nineteenth century to designate poets, artists, and intellectuals who critically observed people’s behavior...

Qualsiasi indagine sul fl neur dovrebbe cominciare con l’occhio di Walter Benjamin puntato su questa ambigua figura urbana, la cui esistenza e il cui significato erano gi state preannunciate da Baudelaire e altri intellettuali un secolo prima dell’analisi sociologica. Il fl neur, personaggio emblematico delle citt in via di modernizzazione, arriva e sopravvive fino ai giorni nostri grazie al contributo di alcuni sociologi contemporanei, tra cui Zygmunt Bauman, Keith Tester e in Italia, di Giampaolo...

Jacques Réda is a french flâneur who explores the city of Paris since the 1970’s. In this article, we would like to show that, somehow, we can compare his poetic works to a geographical study, understanding this expression in a disciplinary way. Wherever poetry is initially far from being compatible with any scientific purpose, researchers have promoted these last years the encounter between literary studies and geography. Réda’s works can illustrate this trend as his...

[Italiano]: Con l’espressione mira varietas lectionum si suole indicare, già a partire dalla filologia del Settecento, la straordinaria ricchezza di varianti nella tradizione di un testo antico; se da un lato l’aggettivo mirus tradisce un certo stupore e quasi un fastidio per l’eccessivo proliferare delle lezioni, dall’altro esso acquisisce il senso positivo dello straordinario guadagno di conoscenze che ne ricaviamo per la storia della tradizione e della trasmissione del testo. Lo studio della mira varietas...

La rivista TRIA ha dedicato particolare attenzione sin dai suoi primi numeri alla progettazione del paesaggio e alla pianificazione ecologica del territorio. Nei dibattiti riportati in alcuni fascicoli (nn. 2-3-15-19-20-26) emerge una linea progressiva di maturazione delle riflessioni su queste tematiche sviluppate negli ultimi decenni: da approcci fondati sul riconoscimento dei valori culturali ed estetici del paesaggio a quelli ambientali, all’evoluzione della sostenibilità verso la resilienza, dalle infrastrutture verdi alle NBS (nature-based solutions). Nel precedente...

Le infrastrutture ambientali giocano oggi un ruolo prioritario e strutturante nelle pratiche di rigenerazione urbana per il futuro della città contemporanea. A partire dalla rilettura delle politiche internazionali ed europee, dei piani di ultima generazione e delle radici del tema e del disegno, sono state rintracciate nuove categorie interpretative delle infrastrutture verdi e blu (Ivb) al fine di costruire una toolbox, cassetta degli attrezzi delle azioni virtuose di cui la città deve dotarsi per affrontare...
