Based on ethnographic research and biographical interviews conducted in a public housing district of Milan, this article uses the concept of existential mobility to highlight how the effects of privatization, residualization and divestment in Public Residential Housing in Italy subject residents of public districts to multiple forms of (im)mobility, experienced through the verification of access requirements, the desire for residential mobility and the inevitability of expulsion from the urban fabric. The article concludes by looking at the occupations of public housing as the embodiment of a generative immobility that leaves room for new forms of existential mobility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work highlights the specificity of the feminine in humanity from the perspective of Edith Stein. Through the idea of personal vocation, we underline personal individual and its specific characters of uniqueness, showing how, in both man and woman, what is truly peculiar is the personal core and the feminine that can express itself in each core. The emphasis on the feminine should therefore be conceived, in our view, as a further quality that each person possesses in personal quantities and in personal ways, but still constitutive of each individual. To this goal, will show and describe the characteristics, peculiarities and emerging possibilities of this quality in Steinian anthropology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Publicado em 1890 por Oscar Wilde, O Retrato de Dorian Gray surge como a obra maior do fic- cionista irlandês. Para além da reflexão em torno das relações humanas, do amor, do ódio e da manipulação, a obra de Wilde realça outros aspetos e temas que muito anteveem e pressentem a crise do sujeito unitário que assolou as correntes literárias da passagem do século XIX para o século XX, tendo a sua manifestação máxima no Modernismo e nas Vanguardas. A nossa comunicação tem como objetivo refletir sobre o modo como a figura e o mito de Nar- ciso são reaproveitados pelo autor até à sua reconstrução sob um modelo de visão do mundo finissecular. Partindo da imagem do duplo e do outro, em concomitância não só com a ideia da perda da unidade do sujeito preconizada por Stuart Hall, mas também com as teorias sobre o sujeito líquido defendidas por Zygmunt Bauman, daremos conta da representatividade e do alcance literários presentes no protagonista do romance. Se, por um lado, é seguro afirmar que Dorian Gray é um eco do Narciso que se apaixona não pelo seu reflexo nas águas de um rio, mas antes pelas cores de um retrato, por outro lado não é menos verdade propor que o sujeito que jamais vê alterada a sua compleição física é espelho e reflexo de uma época que levou o eu ao seu egotismo e consequente esgotamento, como mais tarde Pessoa irá demonstrar de forma magistral. Assim, a nossa comunicação desenvolver-se-á a partir das questões da crise da identidade através da revisitação do olhar de Narciso.

This paper discusses how variation and (re-)use of ancient sources, along with own invention of the author, is deployed in the alleged chronicle of the Trojan War composed by Dictys of Crete and in its Latin adaptation, the Ephemeris belli Troiani by L. Septimius, in order to ‘correct’ Homer and allow insertion of adventure and ‘romance’. More specifically, it focuses on such narrative strategy of combining Homeric revisionism with revisitation of earlier traditions in the characterization of Telamon Ajax and its role in Dictys’ narrative.

Starting from Mendicino-Belluscio (2010), Fjalë shtegtuese: animal diseases and folk medicine in Albanian and in three arbëreshe varieties of Calabria, in the present work we examine in more detail some aspects concerning the local names of animal diseases in the arbëreshe varieties of Lungro, San Basile, Santa Sofia d'Epiro, in the province of Cosenza, and Caraffa in the province of Catanzaro. In particular, in the light of new investigations on popular knowledge related to diseases as well as on their causes, we will focus on the motivations and on the cognitive processes underlying the different names: plants, insects, typical features of some animals, but also atmospheric phenomena and some fundamental categories of human mind turn out to be at the center of multiple interactions between worlds through which it is possible to explain less semantically transparent names of the lexical field under study.

The fall of Constantinople in 1453 caused the collapse in Eastern alum trade and the strengthening in the search of that precious material in Europe. Sicily took part in the search for alum and an active mine in the north-eastern cusp attracted the attention of Sicilian and foreign dealers, it was the starting point for the development of a new demic centre, similarly to what was established in other areas of the Mediterranean basin.

The purpose of this work is to contribute to the thematic, theoretical, conceptual and methodological reconfiguration of contemporary sociology, faced with the challenges of time. The study of the relationship between humans and nature can help this goal. Therefore, water is a heuristic element, which must be analyzed in global problems and in aspects of latent culture. At the end of this examination, the contents of the systemic theory of living will be explained, highlighting the importance of the relationship with natural elements to reshape the disciplinary boundaries and the relationship between science and life. Life studies require studying oneself as researchers and as subjects facing the study of reality. Reasoning on relations with nature requires thinking about methods and approaches to knowledge. The paper concludes with some epistemological reflections with the aim to construction an open and shared scientific world, based on profound union among mind, self and nature.

The Archive of the Ospedale Maggiore (Major Hospital) of Milan (Italy), active continuously for nearly 600 years, can provide outstanding documentation illustrating the link between animals and hospital. Even animals in the city can be in contact with the humans' hospital. We refer to the creation into the Milanese Hospital, in the last years of the nineteenth century, of the Istituto Antirabico (Antirabies Institute) for administering the Pasteur's antirabies therapy. This paper analyzes specifically this hospital institution, whose archive was recently reorganized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Italy, from the 1930s until the end of the century, the relationship between the Catholic world and the development of the Social state becomes a very relevant theme. Social thought and Catholic historiography issues witness a European civilisation crisis, by highlighting problems of poverty and historical forms of assistance. Furthermore, by following the 1931 Pope Pius XI encyclical Quadragesimo anno these issues interacted with fascist corporativism. After 1945, other key experiences arose, as the discussion on social security as the conclusion of the whole public assistance debate shown. These themes are reported in the Bologna social week works in 1949 and in Fanfani's and La Pira's positions, which present several correspondences with British and French worlds, such as "Christian socialism," Reinhold Niebuhr's thought and Maritain's remarks. The 1948 Republican Constitution adopts the Welfare State model assumptions, and it is in those very years that the problem of a system based on a universal outlook arose. Afterwards, governments of coalition led by centre and left-wing parties fostered social security through welfare and health reforms until the '80s. While this model falls into crisis, and new social actors begin to be involved in a context of subsidiarity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the originality of Giovanni Jarvis' position regarding abolition of asylums. He affirmed the importance of history for the critique of the present. His warning remained crucial in the following years; as psychiatry looked at the past mostly in order to condemn it, Jervis emphasized the importance understanding historical change, both in the distant and recent past.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a peripheral compression neuropathy of the tibial nerve and its branches, which results in a range of neuritic symptoms. Tarsal tunnel syndrome has been compared with carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatment of the irritative forms requires the aid of medical, orthopaedic and physical therapy. In rare cases of refractory symptoms and in cases of electrically evident compression, surgery is necessary but should be reserved for compressive forms with muscular deficiency.
