    Machine Learning Algorithm for the Scansion of Old Saxon Poetry

    Several scholars designed tools to perform the automatic scansion of poetry in many languages, but none of these tools deal with Old Saxon or Old English. This project aims to be a first attempt to create a tool for these languages. We implemented a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) model to perform the automatic scansion of Old Saxon and Old English poems. Since this model uses supervised learning, we manually annotated the Heliand manuscript, and we used the resulting corpus as labeled dataset to train the model. The evaluation of the performance of the algorithm reached a 97% for the accuracy and a 99% of weighted average for precision, recall and F1 Score. In addition, we tested the model with some verses from the Old Saxon Genesis and some from The Battle of Brunanburh, and we observed that the model predicted almost all Old Saxon metrical patterns correctly misclassified the majority of the Old English input verses

    Operatic Pasticcios in 18th-Century Europe

    Get PDF
    In Early Modern times, techniques of assembling, compiling and arranging pre-existing material were part of the established working methods in many arts. In the world of 18th-century opera, such practices ensured that operas could become a commercial success because the substitution or compilation of arias fitting the singer's abilities proved the best recipe for fulfilling the expectations of audiences. Known as »pasticcios« since the 18th-century, these operas have long been considered inferior patchwork. The volume collects essays that reconsider the pasticcio, contextualize it, define its preconditions, look at its material aspects and uncover its aesthetical principles

    Mainstreaming of Nature-Based Solutions for the mitigation of hydro-meteorological hazard: governance analysis of a socio- technical change

    Get PDF
    The Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) concept and approach were developed to simultaneously face challenges such as risk mitigation and biodiversity conservation and restoration. NBSs have been endorsed by major International Organizations such as the EU, the FAO and World Bank that are pushing to enable a mainstreaming process. However, a shift from traditional engineering “grey” solutions to wider and standard adoption of NBS encounters technical, social, cultural, and normative barriers that have been identified with a qualitative content analysis of policy documents, reports and expert interviews. The case of the region Emilia-Romagna was studied by developing an analytical framework that brought together the social-ecological context, the governance system and the characteristics of specific NBSs

    FRIENDSHIP AND SOCIABILITY IN THE VERSE LETTERS OF JOHN DONNE

    Get PDF
    The verse letters of John Donne have been understudied and critically underappreciated for almost as long as they have existed in print. In their 1978 article, “Dark Texts Need Notes,” David Aers and Gunther Kress posit that the root of this condemnation and neglect is “the lack of a descriptive or interpretative framework within which the real interest of these poems can be perceived and analyzed” (138). This dissertation develops such a framework based on the concept of sociability. Within this framework, sociability conceptualizes Donne’s verse letters as literary objects that are not only representative of social exchange, but are themselves social artifacts whose presence in multiple contexts and perspectives perform and generate social connection. This dissertation explores three applications of sociability: the lexicon of friendship common to Donne and his contemporaries via the classical model of friendship outlined by Cicero; the metaphors of the letter as a physical manifestation of its sender meant to embody social ties in epistolary communication despite anxieties over physical absence; and the social configurations, organization, and reader reception of early modern manuscripts. Ultimately, these applications point to the need for a new editorial practice: the network edition emphasizes sociability and social relationships by employing a network visualization as its primary user interface. This interface informs a methodology for engaging new readers with applications of sociability in the network edition. In Donne’s case, recontextualizing the verse letters within an editorial framework that showcases their value as social artifacts of literary exchange is a necessary first step to a fuller critical appreciation of these poems and has significant implications for our understanding of the coterie poetry of Donne and his contemporaries

    HERITAGE 2022. International Conference on Vernacular Heritage: Culture, People and Sustainability

    Vernacular architecture, tangible and intangible heritage of great importance to European and global culture, represents the response of a society culturally linked to its territory, in terms of climate and landscape. Its construction features are born from the practical experience of the inhabitants, making use of local materials, taking into consideration geographical conditions and cultural, social and constructive traditions, based on the conditions of the surrounding nature and habitat. Above all, it plays an essential role in contemporary society as it is able to teach us important principles and lessons for a respectful sustainable architecture. Vernacular Heritage: Culture, People and Sustainability will be a valuable source of information for academics and professionals in the fields of Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, Construction and Building Engineering and ArchitectureMileto, C.; Vegas López-Manzanares, F.; Cristini, V.; García Soriano, L.
