Employment, Technology and Institutions in the Process of Structural Change. A History of Economic Thought Perspective

The present issue of the Working Papers series of the Dipartimento di Economia Politica at Milano- Bicocca reproduces the contributions presented at the mid-year ESHET Conference which took place at the Universities of Pavia and Milano-Bicocca on 16 and 17 November 2001. The program was arranged jointly by Gianni Vaggi and Pier Luigi Porta and the Conference was jointly organised by ESHET with the Department of Political Economy and Quantitative Methods of the University of Pavia and the Department of Political Economy of the University of Milano-Bicocca. The idea around which the Conference was built referred basically to Luigi Pasinetti’s conception of structural change and structural dynamics in a history-of-thought perspective. Luigi Pasinetti, Eshet’s first President, opened the Conference at the University of Pavia. The program included two sessions taking half a day each: the opening session was in Pavia on 16 November 2001 and the final session in Milan the 17 November. Luigi Pasinetti chaired the session held at the University of Pavia and Andrew Skinner was the chairman in Milan.

Investigations into the assembly behaviour of a 'rigidified': P-carboxylatocalix[4]arene

The p-carboxylatocalix[4]arenes have been shown to be versatile supramolecular building blocks capable of forming a range of bi-layers, capsules and nanoscale tubules in the solid state. Here we report the synthesis of a new 'rigidified' analogue, as well as investigations into its self-assembly and related coordination chemistry. These behaviours are reminiscent of other p-carboxylatocalix[4]arenes despite the presence of rigidifying groups at the lower-rim, suggesting that this building block may be further exploited in the assembly of a range of new metal-organic cages and coordination polymers

Pier Luigi Nervi, bridge designer

“A bridge is for an engineer what a dome is for an architect”. The construction of a bridge is a central event in a professional life of an engineer. The symbolic value of such a structure, at the same time functional and iconic, is one reason. Moreover, bridge represent the perfect construction to test technological innovations, this can be seen by the fact that many pioneering engineers linked their names to ground-breaking bridges: Maillart, Hennebique and in recent times, Calatrava. Pier Luigi Nervi, one of the most acknowledged engineer of the twentieth century, famously built many domes but only one bridge, in Verona in 1965, he was 74. However, his interest for bridges was a constant in his professional life. Furthermore, other Nervi’s structures, like the elevated motorway in Rome, La Via Olimpica (1960) or even the suspended roof of the Burgo paper mill (1961) can be considered structurally similar to bridges. This paper presents some of Nervi projects of bridges, from the early designs to the what is generally considered his last effort, the Messina bridge. Particularly interesting are the discovery of two projects for such structures recently discovered in the Archivio Nervi in Rome. Two images of these projects are presented in this paper for the first time. They are just another evidence of the continuous investigation on suspended structures of the Italian engineer

Carlo Emilio Gadda's Luigi di Francia

The work that Gadda prepared for publication from the series of broadcasts on Louis XIII-XV of France during 1952 has largely been overlooked by critics. It is the aim of this article to show that, although there are certain unusual features in the text of I Luigi di Francia which arise from its origins in radio scripts, the work is recognisably Gaddian in its main stylistic and thematic concerns. In tracing some of the background to the text, due acknowledgement is made of the scholarly work already done on the history of the text by Gianmarco Gaspari, the compiler of the Notes on this text for the Garzanti edition of Gadda's Opere; Gaspari's implied conclusion that this is not the least Gaddian of the author's work, and his important conclusions about the degree to which the work was based on source material, offers the opportunity here for an analysis and explicit statement of the nature of the text and of its reflection of significant points in the span of Gadda's writing
