Filología de autor entre historia y método

Este texto pretende ser una reflexión entre histórica y metodológica sobre la filología de autor y su cultivo italiano, incluyendo su recaída sobre los estudios hispánicos. Se evidencian los elementos que llevan a la irreconciliabilidad entre la critique génétique y la filología de autor, y los lazos que unen a esta con la crítica textual de tipo lachmnanniano, a pesar de las diferencias de objetivos de estas dos ramas de la filología textua

“First, thou shalt not despair”: Some Reflections on Contamination and the zarzuela Acis y Galatea by José de Cañizares

Este ensayo analiza la tradición textual de la zarzuela Acis y Galatea de José de Cañizares (1708) a la luz de un testimonio hasta ahora no tenido en cuenta. De ahí, se desarrollan unas consideraciones sobre la transmisión del teatro musical y más en general sobre la conducta del editor neolachmanniano ante el fenómeno de la contaminación.This essay analyzes the textual tradition of zarzuela Acis y Galatea by José de Cañizares (1708) in light of a so far unstudied manuscript. This case study encourages some reflections on textual contamination in musical theatre and more in general on the conduct of a neo-lachmannian editor studying such a phenomenon

Los sermones de Antonio Vieira traducidos al español

Este ensayo pretende indicar la importancia de las traducciones españolas de los sermones del padre Antonio Vieira para estudiar tanto la primitiva lección original de los textos del gran predicador portugués, como su adaptación al público español. En la medida en que nos documentan redacciones distintas y sucesivas, estas traducciones se convierten en testimonios imprescindibles para la reconstrucción de la historia de cada pieza, con las modificaciones a las cuales las sometió su autor en su paso del púlpito a la edición portuguesa definitiv

Distinctive diffusive properties of swimming planktonic copepods in different environmental conditions

Suspensions of small planktonic copepods represent a special category in the realm of active matter, as their size falls within the range of colloids, while their motion is so complex that it cannot be rationalized according to basic models of self-propelled particles. Indeed, the wide range of individual variability and swimming patterns resemble the behaviour of much larger animals. By analysing hundreds of three-dimensional trajectories of the planktonic copepod Clausocalanus furcatus, we investigate the possibility of detecting how the motion of this species is affected by different external conditions, such as the presence of food and the effect of gravity. While this goal is hardly achievable by direct inspection of single organism trajectories, we show that this is possible by focussing on simple average metrics commonly used to characterize colloidal suspensions, such as the mean square displacement and the dynamic correlation functions. We find that the presence of food leads to the onset of a clear localization that separates a short-time ballistic from a long-time diffusive regime. Such a benchmark reflects the tendency of C. furcatus to remain temporally feeding in a limited space and disappears when food is absent. Localization is clearly evident in the horizontal plane, but is negligible in the vertical direction, due to the effect of gravity. Our results suggest that simple average descriptors may provide concise and useful information on the swimming properties of planktonic copepods, even though single organism behaviour is strongly heterogeneous

Life Monza: project description and actions’ updating

The introduction of Low Emission Zones, urban areas subject to road traffic restrictions in order to ensure compliance with the air pollutants limit values set by the European Directive on ambient air quality (2008/50/EC), is a common and well-established action in the administrative government of cities. The impacts on air quality improvement are widely analysed, whereas the effects and benefits concerning the noise have not been addressed in a comprehensive manner. As a consequence, the definition, the criteria for the analysis and the management methods of a Noise Low Emission Zone are not clearly expressed and shared yet. The LIFE MONZA project (Methodologies fOr Noise low emission Zones introduction And management - LIFE15 ENV/IT/000586) addresses these issues. The first objective of the project, co-funded by the European Commission, is to introduce an easy-replicable method for the identification and the management of the Noise Low Emission Zone, an urban area subject to traffic restrictions, whose impacts and benefits regarding noise issues will be analyzed and tested in the pilot area of the city of Monza, located in Northern Italy. Background conditions, structure, objectives of the project and actions’ progress will be discussed in this article
