From the very beginning, phenomenology met with sound inquiry. Not only the relationship between Husserl and Stumpf, whose investigations influenced numerous philosophers and twenty-century trends, but a whole musicological thread (Mersmann, Eimert, Güldenstein, Bekker) referred to phenomenology during the twenties and following decades (Besseler, Leibowitz, Schaeffer, Rognoni). From another side, explicit aesthetic reflections are traceable in the Göttingen Circle but also in W. Conrad, Schütz, Plessner, and Anders-Stern. Even Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, up to Smith, Ihde, Dufrenne, Clifton, Ferrara, and Piana, which more or less systematically dealt with sound. The aim of this work is to show the fundamental cores of a phenomenology of sound; then, the continuing need for research. Through themes like the constitution of the sound-object, the phenomenological distinction between sounds and noises, and the spatial features of sound, the phenomenological scenario of sound inquiry will be pointed out and analyzed.

This paper aims to analyze some of the issues affecting the study of artificial intelligence applied to the work of jurists, seeking to highlight how the results obtained today, although less satisfactory than those achieved in other disciplines, depend mainly on the implementation of learning algorithms. At the same time, the essay tries to “take stock” of the latest landfalls of artificial intelligence applied to law, noting how the main goal today has become predictability rather than understanding of legal experience. The contribution offers some opening paragraphs, in which the author clarifies the meaning of the terminology adopted; the concluding ones are about the relationship between legal methodology and the technology produced by artificial intelligence.

Remo Ceserani (Soresina, Cremona, 1933 –) is one of Italy's most internationally renowned scholars and a leading figure in the field of Comparative Literature. After his graduation from the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, he taught at the Universities of Genoa and Pisa, and, until recently, at the University of Bologna where he was Professor of Comparative Literature. His longstanding and close professional relations with North America date back to the late 1950s when he attended the University of California at Berkeley as a visiting graduate student. Since then, Ceserani has been Visiting Professor at many leading universities, including Berkeley, Brown, Harvard, and Stanford. His many publications include Raccontare la letteratura (1990), Treni di carta (1993), Il fantastico (1996), Raccontare il postmoderno (1997) and Guida allo studio della letteratura (1999). Together with Lidia De Federicis, he is the author of a highly influential anthology of Italian Literature, Il materiale e l'immaginario (1979–95). More recently, he has been co-editor of a thematic dictionary of world literature, which is due to appear in 2007/08. The conversations which form the basis for this interview took place on two separate occasions, in May 2006 at the London conference 'Postmodern Impegno' and in September 2006 in Pontignano, near Siena, during the seventh annual gathering of Synapsis, the 'European School for Comparative Studies', of which Ceserani is a founding member.

The article examines the 1918-1920 excess mortality data from Spanish flu epidemic in Florence, Italy. Two local documentary sources (the statistical abstracts published by the town administration and the admission registers of the Florence main hospital) provide empirical evidence for a revision of the national mortality data. The Italian case-study shows a pronounced excess mortality among women, as it happened even in England and India. Specific social and epidemiological explanations are debated. The Spanish flu was not socially-neutral; it did not change the traditional nexus between economic poverty and sanitary vulnerability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Examining the pre-Islamic genesis and Islamic developments of contemporary Iran, the study analyzes the relationship between the feminine political principle permeating the pre-Islamic period and its resilience in the face of the rise to power of the dualist and patriarchalist Mazdean-Iranian conception. Despite the moralizing restrictions imposed by dualist biopower, the herstories of Iran problematize the time through which they pass with a modern critical and self-reflexive capacity, also when denied the means to govern. In our times, the perspectives of 'Women, Life, Freedom' claim non-hierarchical and non-hegemonic conditions of freedom for the entire Iranian society, inspiring global politics as an authentic democratic political subject that is capable to radically transform Iran's future.

During 2022, a research and experimentation project aimed at developing new interactive approaches in the use of cultural heritage was launched within the Virtual Archeology Laboratory of the University of Palermo. Through reflection on the experiences that have characterized the disciplinary field and the observation of the possibilities offered by the videogame world, we proceeded to define a protocol called URBE which provides for the development of simulation ecosystems, through game-type software engine, within which users play the role of protagonists of the proposed experience, being able to relate independently with the virtual resources. These elements have made it possible to develop edutainment dynamics with a strong communicative impact and a high degree of immersion which are proposed as an ideal solution in the context of the valorisation of cultural heritage.

Contestazione è parola chiave per definire la tipologia culturale sia negli Stati Uniti che in Europa tra gli anni Sessanta e gli anni Settanta. Contestazione è il termine che definisce la lunga, ininterrotta rivoluzione culturale giovanile che definisce la condizione di una nuova modernità. L’annuncio del tempo nuovo viene lanciato a Berkeley nel 1964 dal free-speech movement (movimento per la libertà di parola). La protesta fu provocata dalla questione razziale in primo luogo, e dunque dell’uguaglianza dei diritti tra tutti i soggetti. Si aggiunse poi a questa la protesta contro l’intervento militare americano in Viet-Nam. Ma la sommossa studentesca, già a Berkeley, a parte gli obiettivi specifici, era intesa a cambiare il mondo. Le ragioni della sommossa vanno cercate negli anni quaranta e cinquanta del Novecento. Ciò che era in gioco, fin da quegli anni, era una prospettiva di liberazione della mente da ogni idea ricevuta e da ogni condizionamento sociale, una questione di libertà di pensiero dunque, in una prospettiva analoga a quella definita nell’antipsichiatria di Ronald Laing e David Cooper. La protesta giovanile, e la ricerca di una diversa libertà di pensiero, tuttavia, si piegò anche a forme di estrema radicalizzazione, nel declinare della discussione, della protesta e dei sogni utopici verso la violenza politica dei Weathermen e, in Europa, della Rote Armée Fraktion tedesca, o delle Brigate Rosse, nel declinare della lotta ideologica e del sogno della libertà verso l’incubo.

Dissent is the nineteen-sixties-seventies cultural keyword both in the States and Western Europe. Dissent defines the long uninterrupted 1960s – 1970s juvenile cultural revolution both in the United States and Europe. The new time was announced by the 1964 free-speech movement at Berkley University involving from its very beginning the civil rights question, to which the protest was soon added against the American military involvement in the twenty-years long Viet-Nam war. As a matter of fact, the student movement was meant to radically change the world. Some of the roots of this revolution are to be looked for in the late forties and in the fifties. The question more or less knowingly being dealt with was first of all the radical perspective of freeing the mind from all social conditioning and received ideas. It was the same perspective defined by Ronald Laing’s and David Cooper’s new antipsychiatric approach. Protest, and the struggle for freedom, however, was doomed to extreme radicalization, turning discussion, and utopian dreams into political violence the Weathermen, of course, in the States, die Rote Armée Fraktion in Germany, Le Brigate Rosse in Italy, turning dreams and ideological struggle into a nightmare.

The paper proposes the hypothesis that in 2, 11, a short farewell poem to Cynthia (depicted elsewhere with the features of the docta puella), Propertius was more or less precisely and consciously inspired by Sappho’s poems dedicated to the connection between song and otherworldly fame. The presence of Sapph. fr. 55 v. seems more consistent in this framework, but in the reservoir of Propertius’ poetic memory other verses of the poetess of Lesbos may be lodged (at a more or less unconscious level) that can be related to the fragment cited (ffr. 58b Neri, 65 v., 147 v.).
