Nel saggio si pubblica la copia inedita di una lettera di Bartolomeo Borghesi (1781–1860) a Giovanni Labus (1775–1853), riguardante lo studio di 25 prefetti d’Egitto in epoca romana. L’analisi del documento consente di rilevare l’importante contributo di Borghesi a tale campo di studi, nonché il debito metodologico di Labus nei confronti delle ricerche prosopografiche di Borghesi. Questi può ormai essere considerato a buon diritto il primo studioso che impostò su basi scientifiche la serie dei praefecti Aegypti. This paper presents the first edition of the draft of a letter from Bartolomeo Borghesi (1781–1860) to Giovanni Labus (1775–1853) concerning the study of 25 prefects of Roman Egypt. By analysing this document, it is possible to appreciate the important contribution provided by Borghesi to this research field, as well as Labus’ methodological debt towards the prosopographical investigations carried out by Borghesi. The latter can now rightly be considered the first scholar who drew up the series of the praefecti Aegypti on a scientific basis.

This teaching program focuses on the first book of J. S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, on the 300th anniversary of its completion, and is aimed primarily at the third and fourth grades of Liceo musicale (Music High School). The first part focuses on the study of the textual sources and the autograph title page, commenting on the historical, organological, didactic and aesthetic references. The second part deals with the study of the first two Preludes and Fugues in C major and C minor: using techniques borrowed from the didactics of listening, students are introduced to an in-depth understanding of the two forms, and learn to identify the rhetorical-compositional models that define them. Finally, guidelines are proposed for developing activities in an informal setting of music dissemination. The program adopts the models of integrated didactics, and sees the participation of a Music History teacher alongside the Music Theory and Analysis teacher, as well as the other teachers in the course.

Questo articolo si propone di analizzare La noia (1960) di Alberto Moravia, Un amore (1963) di Dino Buzzati e La bambolona (1967) di Alba de Céspedes, come tre opere che, ponendo al centro della narrazione l’ossessione erotica di un personaggio borghese, riescono a rendere conto della crisi della mascolinità (Gunsberg) che si sviluppa durante gli anni Sessanta e che trova nella figura dell’inetto (sessuale) la sua più vivida espressione. In primo luogo ci concentreremo sulle le modalità di rappresentazione del desiderio dei tre protagonisti, per poi focalizzarci sulla centralità del tema del possesso e sulle sue forme – borghesi – di espressione (denaro e matrimonio). Infine, studieremo l’evoluzione dei tre personaggi femminili (Cecilia, Laide e Ivana), da cui i protagonisti sono attratti, che da oggetti di desiderio si smarcano dal male gaze e si affermano come soggetti di desiderio.

The development of Alpine tourism is inextricably linked to the construction of railway infrastructure from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. It was this technological change that first enabled the development of mass tourism in areas of the inner Alps. In a second phase, during the period from the late 1870s to the First World War, grand hotels and numerous mountains with panoramic views from their peaks were made accessible via cog railways and cable cars. For the first time, it became possible to ascend the heights without any appreciable physical exertion. The article investigates the significance of these railways and cable cars by analyzing their role in poster advertising for the Bernese Oberland during the Belle Époque, as well as the financial returns of the companies running the routes. It thereby asks why some entreprises were more successful than others. In a further analytic step, the author undertakes a brief comparison with the Austrian Salzkammergut region and specifically with the cog railway on the Schafberg. The conclusion then sketches the further development up until the current day, and considers how far these means of transport have remained a magnet for tourists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 1913 decree on the "Instruction of School Children about the Essence and Significance of Tourism", which was issued by the Ministry for Religion and Education in Vienna, had been preceded by a series of reports from all the provincial school authorities in the crownlands of the Austrian half of the Habsburg Monarchy. Using these documents, the author compares the discursive positions taken by the regional authorities in their evaluation of tourism. She analyzes statements estimating the point of departure for tourist development in the respective regions, as well as assessments about "friendly" or "hostile" behaviour towards visitors. In this way, the heterogeneous regional structures of imperial Austria become visible, as does the cultural negotiation about what was "one's own" and "foreign". In addition, the pedagogical context allows links to be made between the societal canon of values and the meaning of tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the contrasting perspectives of contemporary mass tourism in the 21st century: the destructive impact of "overtourism" and the near-collapse during the pandemic years. Topics include the resilience of tourism amidst crises, the historical significance of tourism, and the challenges faced in integrating tourism history into the academic discipline, emphasizing the need for institutionalization and recognizing recent outstanding studies in tourism history.

The article investigates the function of urban inscriptions as media of knowledge about space and time at the transition from the late Middle Ages to the early modern periodinthecityofBraunschweig.Thearticlestartswiththeinsightthatinscriptions in stone or wood on buildings or monuments not only convey knowledge about space and time but at the same time play an essential role in the construction of space and time in the city by the practice of inscribing. The analysis focuses on the steadily deteriorating relationship between the city of Braunschweig and its city lord, the Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, and its material manifestation in building and monument inscriptions. The contribution shows that in the course of the escalating conflict over autonomy, a change in epigraphic habit took placed that aimed at claiming both urban space and its history exclusively on behalf of the city as an expression of its autonomy.

L’articolo analizza Gehirne (1916) di Gottfried Benn, evidenziando come attraverso il rapporto medico-paziente siano elaborati nuclei psicologici profondi che riguardano sia le gerarchie sociali (il rapporto tra il medico Rönne e i «borghesi») che, ad un livello inconscio, la relazione padre-figlio. La «prosa assoluta» di Benn, parificando il vivente nel continuo divenire e nell'impotenza di fronte alla morte, è vista in questa prospettiva come un mezzo per eliminare la competizione edipica. Allo stesso tempo essa veicola una critica al linguaggio quotidiano, fondato su illusorie differenze vissute narcisisticamente e aggressivamente verso gli altri. Al linguaggio delle «individualità», Benn oppone una prosa ad alto contenuto analogico che frantuma le autorappresentazioni dell'io e proietta un eros fusionale (si parlerà di qualità «tattile» della vista) nei vuoti di significato che vengono a crearsi. The article analyses Gehirne (1916) by Gottfried Benn and focuses on the doctor-patient relationship which involves social hierarchies (the relationship between doctor Rönne and the «bourgeois») as well as the unconscious father-son tie. The article analyses how Benn’s «absolute prose» avoids the Oedipal competition by stressing the constant evolution of being and the equal impotence of men facing death. At the same time, Benn’s prose criticizes the everyday language based on illusory, narcisistic differences, and on aggressive ideologies. To this language of «individuality» Benn opposes an analogical prose which questions the representations of self, and which projects an erotic, «tactile» sight in the lack of meaning.

Recent developments in the field of Digital Humanities have offered researchers new methodological perspectives, by combining the methods and statistical tools typical of corpus linguistics with the hermeneutic practice of literary criticism. Despite a large number of works has illustrated the advantages of using computational methods in literary studies, most literary scholars still disregard the epistemological connection that exists between the quantitative and qualitative approaches, thus treating them as mutually exclusive. On this backdrop, this paper aims to show that the two approaches can coexist, by performing an act of "computational criticism" on a corpus of novels and periodical essays representative of the time, and discussing their role in influencing and determining the linguistic-ideological configuration of the long English 18th century. In particular, the paper aims to clarify, by exemplification, how the use of quantitative methods may support researchers in literary and cultural studies in interpreting data.

The article is concerned with marriage agreements regarding wealth and property among men and women of the early modern landed nobility in Tyrol, which in legal terms constituted a transitional space between northern and southern traditions of law. The negotiations accompanying a noble marriage referred on the one hand to the Tyrol territorial law code (Landesordnung) and on the other hand to the laws pertaining in the lands of the spouse’s family. The system of marriage dowry agreements practised in Tyrol reflected this legal plurality. For example, noble daughters entirely renounced any inheritance claims to family goods in return for their receipt of a substantial dowry to take into marriage, as occurred in the Italian dowry system. In contrast to the Italian system, however, marriage contracts among the Tyrolean nobility consistently foresaw a ‘morning gift’ (Morgengabe) from the husband to the wife after the first wedding night, and frequently also a so-called ‘counter dowry’ (Widerlage) comprising the wealth brought into the marriage by the husband. Such practices undoubtedly reflect the influence of the neighbouring countries to the north. The stipulations regarding widowhood sought to find a balance between the Tyrolean regulations regarding the renouncement of inheritance and the extensive separation of goods between marriage partners. The transitional legal space in the border region of Tyrol enabled noble families a relatively large degree of freedom in their marriage agreements, as they sought to achieve a balance between potential advantages and disadvantages for individuals and families against the background of marital gifts’ considerable material and symbolic significance.
