Download or read book Viaggio Adriatico written by Marco Affronte and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per molti l'Adriatico è un mare minore: acque troppo basse, spesso torbide, fondali limacciosi. Un mare per turisti che ne amano soprattutto le spiagge e le rive che degradano dolcemente. Pochi ne apprezzano la biologia e la varietà di vita; pochissimi lo conoscono per davvero. Questo è un libro sull'altro Adriatico, quello "sotto", quello vivo e a volte dimenticato. Appunti, notizie, storie, raccontano di delfini, balene, tartarughe, pesci luna, squali, tonni, pesci, molluschi e crostacei che lo popolano così come riempiono le 233 pagine di questo libro. Un mare che è come una culla. Le acque basse sono un rifugio, e se poi sono anche ricche di cibo ecco che diventano un ambiente accogliente e florido. Ma anche un mare fragile e delicato, messo in pericolo ogni giorno dagli scarichi di mille città, da una pesca intensiva, dalla maleducazione o l'incuria di chi non sa, per ignoranza o per pigrizia, apprezzarne le qualità oltre alle belle coste e ai porti accessibili. Buon viaggio Adriatico.
Download or read book Syntagmatia written by Dirk Sacré and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 825 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collective volume has been dedicated to two distinguished scholars of Neo-Latin Studies on the occasion of their retirement after a long and fruitful academic career, one at the Université catholique Louvain-la-Neuve, the other at the internationally renowned Seminarium Philologiae Humanisticae of Leuven University. Both the rich variety of subjects dealt with and the international diversity of the scholars authoring contributions reflect the wide interests of the celebrated Neo-Latinists, their international position, and the actual status of the discipline itself. Ranging from the Trecento to the 21st century, and embracing Latin writings from Italy, Hungary, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, the New World, Spain, Scotland, Denmark and China, this volume is as rich and multifaceted as it is voluminous, for it not only offers studies on well-known figures such as Petrarch, Lorenzo Valla, Erasmus, Vives, Thomas More, Eobanus Hessus, Lipsius, Tycho Brahe, Jean de la Fontaine and Jacob Cats, but it also includes new contributions on Renaissance commentaries and editions of classical authors such as Homer, Seneca and Horace; on Neo-Latin novels, epistolography and Renaissance rhetoric; on Latin translations from the vernacular and invectives against Napoleon; on the teaching of Latin in the 19th century; and on the didactics of Neo-Latin nowadays.

Download or read book Privacy at Sea written by Natacha Klein Käfer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-02-03 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the idea of privacy at sea, from early sixteenth-century maritime expansions to nineteenth-century naval developments. In this period, the sea became a focal point of political and economic ambition as technological and cultural shifts enabled a more extensive exploration of maritime spaces and global coexistence at sea. The exploration of the sea and the conflicts arising from establishing control over maritime routes demanded a more nuanced distinction and negotiation between State and private efforts. Privateering, for example, became a bridge between the private enterprises and the State’s warfares or trade struggles, demonstrating that the sea required public control at the same time as it enabled private endeavours. Although this tension between private and public interests has been explored in military and economic studies, questions of how the private appeared in maritime history have been discussed only through a particularly merchantile lens. This volume adds a new dimension to this discussion by focusing on how privacy and the private were perceived and created by the historical agents at sea. We aim to move beyond the mercantile “private” as a direct opposite to the “public” or the State, thereby opening the discussion of privacy at sea as a multiplicity of lived experiences.

Download or read book The Dragoman Renaissance written by E. Natalie Rothman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Dragoman Renaissance, E. Natalie Rothman traces how Istanbul-based diplomatic translator-interpreters, known as the dragomans, systematically engaged Ottoman elites in the study of the Ottoman Empire—eventually coalescing in the discipline of Orientalism—throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Rothman challenges Eurocentric assumptions still pervasive in Renaissance studies by showing the centrality of Ottoman imperial culture to the articulation of European knowledge about the Ottomans. To do so, she draws on a dazzling array of new material from a variety of archives. By studying the sustained interactions between dragomans and Ottoman courtiers in this period, Rothman disrupts common ideas about a singular moment of "cultural encounter," as well as about a "docile" and "static" Orient, simply acted upon by extraneous imperial powers. The Dragoman Renaissance creatively uncovers how dragomans mediated Ottoman ethno-linguistic, political, and religious categories to European diplomats and scholars. Further, it shows how dragomans did not simply circulate fixed knowledge. Rather, their engagement of Ottoman imperial modes of inquiry and social reproduction shaped the discipline of Orientalism for centuries to come. Thanks to generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, through The Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

Download or read book A Companion to Medieval Palermo written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Companion to Medieval Palermo offers a panorama of the history of Medieval Palermo from the sixth to the fifteenth century. Often described by contrast with the communal reality of Medieval Italy as submitted to a royal (external) authority, the city is here given back its density and creativity. Important themes such as artistic and literary productions, religious changes or political autonomy are thus explored anew. Some fields recently investigated are the object of particular scrutiny: the history of the Jews, Byzantine or Islamic Palermo are among them. Contributors are Annliese Nef, Vivien Prigent, Alessandra Bagnera, Mirella Cassarino, Rosi Di Liberto, Elena Pezzini, Henri Bresc, Igor Mineo, Laura Sciascia, Gian Luca Borghese, Sulamith Brodbeck, Benoît Grévin, Giuseppe Mandalà, and Fabrizio Titone.

Per rendere migliore il futuro del mare Adriatico.
Download or read book The Idea of Beauty in Italian Literature and Language written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty is a central concept in the Italian cultural imagination throughout its history and in virtually all its manifestations. It particularly permeates the domains that have governed the construction of Italian identity: literature and language. The Idea of Beauty in Italian Literature and Language assesses this long tradition in a series of essays covering a wide chronological and thematic range, while crossing from historical linguistics to literary and cultural studies. It offers elements for reflection on cross-disciplinary approaches in the humanities, and demonstrates the power of beauty as a fundamental category beyond aesthetics.
Download or read book The Travels of Cristoforo Buondelmonti and Ciriaco d Ancona in the Aegean Sea written by Eleni Tounta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the travels of Cristoforo Buondelmonti and Ciriaco d’Ancona to the Greek lands in the early fifteenth-century eastern Mediterranean. Drawing on post-colonial studies' frameworks, such as travel writing and imaginative geographies, this volume offers an innovative examination of colonial discursive and cultural practices within the Latin dominions in the Greek lands. It sheds light on their contributions to the conceptualisation of both the "Italian metropolitan" space and the "Greek" identity of the colonised. This volume investigates how Cristoforo’s and Ciriaco’s travel narratives utilised conceptual tools and representation systems of early humanism to support Latin political and economic interests in the eastern Mediterranean. It delves into the imaginative geographies of Venetian Crete, the islands of the archipelago, Constantinople, the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea, and portrayals of the Ottomans as constructed by the two travelers, offering insights into the interaction of Latin humanistic and colonial discourses and the agency of travellers in shaping the colonial space. The book will be of value to scholars, undergraduate and postgraduate students across various research fields, including Renaissance and postcolonial studies, travel literature, Latin dominions in the Aegean, Byzantine and Ottoman histories.
Download or read book Horizons de Recherche Research Horizons II written by Anna Paola Soncini Fratta and published by EMIL. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les « Mots-Cle » ont pris forme en 2014 lors de la publication du premier numéro des « Horizons de recherche », actes d’un colloque organisé par des jeunes doctorants, tous issus du Master Erasmus Mundus en Cultures Littéraires Européennes. Les chercheurs, inscrits dans de nombreuses universités européennes, confirmaient que l’amitié, le travail collectif, le partage des langues, des cultures, des histoires personnelles, enrichissent non seulement la recherche mais aussi l’individu et la société. Aujourd’hui cette tradition poursuit et se renouvelle, avec le troisième numéro de la série, « Horizon de Recherche II », actes de deux journées d’étude ayant eu lieu à Thessalonique le 25 et 26 juin 2015. Ce volume propose, comme d’habitude, un panorama des recherches stimulantes menées par des doctorants, mais la parole est donnée aussi aux Alumni CLE qui, tout en ayant fait le même parcours d’études littéraires, sont entrés dans le monde professionnel. Cette ouverture témoigne d’une collaboration mise en place par le CLE avec le monde du travail, notamment à travers le projet H.E.A.D. (Humanities and Enterprises Annual Dialogue) dans lequel plusieurs entreprises sont invitées à participer à la formation des étudiants et à leur proposer des sujets de recherche.
