Marco Praga e Tatiana Pavlova : due mondi teatrali a confronto

In the twenties the playwright and stage director Marco Praga became a dramatic critic on the \u201cIllustrazione italiana\u201d. In his incisive production an interesting section is devoted to Tatiana Pavlova, a Russian actress who started performing in Italy in 1923, and gradually introduced a new concept of acting and show.Referring to reviews and pictures, this article investigates two different points of view about theatre, the relationship between text and stage, performance and further components of the show

Dalla scrittura d'autore alla drammaturgia d'attore: il caso de Le ultime lune di Furio Bordon

L\u2019articolo studia la relazione tra testo drammatico e lavoro dell\u2019attore, in riferimento al suo fondamentale contributo alla creazione scenica della parte attraverso la \u201cdrammaturgia d\u2019attore\u201d. In tale prospettiva, un esempio interessante \ue8 rappresentato da Le ultime lune, commedia scritta da Furio Bordon nel 1992 e interpretata nel 1995 da Marcello Mastroianni come suo ultimo spettacolo teatrale. La commovente recitazione di Mastroianni divenne leggendaria, perch\ue9 negli ultimi mesi della sua vita, l\u2019attore si trov\uf2 veramente a vivere la condizione del personaggio; tuttavia, il testo, incentrato sul tema della senilit\ue0 e dell\u2019abbandono, attir\uf2 negli anni successivi, anche l\u2019interesse di altri attori (Gastone Moschin, Gianrico Tedeschi, Maia Monzani), ottenendo nuove e interessanti messe in scena. Lo studio delle diverse interpretazioni consente di ricostruire la complessit\ue0 del lavoro attoriale, attraverso tagli, adattamenti, dinamiche fonetiche e gestuali, che testimoniano come il testo drammatico non finisca mai di trasformarsi, ottenendo molteplici vite sulla scena.The article focuses on the relationship between the dramatic text and the work of actor, especially on his crucial contribution to the invention of the scenic character as an \u201cactor\u2019s drammaturgy\u201d. In this perspective, an interesting example is represented by Le ultime lune, a play written by Furio Bordon in 1992 and performed by Marcello Mastroianni in 1995 as his last theatrical show. The Mastroianni\u2019s emotional acting became a legend, because in the last months of his life, Marcello truly lived the character\u2019s condition, but the text, takled the probleme of the oldness and seclusion, was able in the following years to attract several other actors (Gastone Moschin, Gianrico Tedeschi, Maia Monzani) and got new interesting mises en sc\ue8ne. So, different performances are studied to reconstruct the complexity of the artistic work, through changes, adaptations and phonetic and gestual dynamics, as an evidence that dramatic text never starts trasforming itself in a new versions and having multiplies lives on the stage

Intraoperative electrically auditory brainstem responses to monitor auditory functionality preservation during auditory brainstem implant application.

Background: Perceptual outcomes of individuals with neurofibromatosis type II implanted with auditory brainstem implant are poor, and many factors seem to be involved. Undoubtedly, the preservation of neural functionality is the crucial aspect. The aim of this study is to verify that the use of intraoperative electrically auditory brainstem responses can help to understand if there is neural damage related to the tumor, and / or surgery. Material and Methods: A retrospective case series analysis was performed to review data from 6 adult patients affected by neurofibromatosis type 2 who received an auditory brainstem implant. A correlation was sought between intraoperative electrophysiological data, auditory performance at 1 and 2.5 years of follow-up, and auditory brainstem implant stimulation levels. Results: Patients with a better perceptual outcomes were those with more intraoperative peaks and peaks with wider amplitudes in the electrically auditory brainstem response recordings. Conclusions: Electrically auditory brainstem responses used for auditory brainstem implant placement can be a valuable tool for monitoring the preservation of neural acoustic functionality

A Compact Solid State Detector for Small Angle Particle Tracking

MIDAS (MIcrostrip Detector Array System) is a compact silicon tracking telescope for charged particles emitted at small angles in intermediate energy photonuclear reactions. It was realized to increase the angular acceptance of the DAPHNE detector and used in an experimental program to check the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule at the Mainz electron microtron, MAMI. MIDAS provides a trigger for charged hadrons, p/pi identification and particle tracking in the region 7 deg < theta < 16 deg. In this paper we present the main characteristics of MIDAS and its measured performances.Comment: 13 pages (9 figures). Submitted to NIM

WARP: a WIMP double phase Argon detector

The WARP programme for dark matter search with a double phase argon detector is presented. In such a detector both excitation and ionization produced by an impinging particle are evaluated by the contemporary measurement of primary scintillation and secondary (proportional) light signal, this latter being produced by extracting and accelerating ionization electrons in the gas phase. The proposed technique, verified on a 2.3 liters prototype, could be used to efficiently discriminate nuclear recoils, induced by WIMP's interactions, and measure their energy spectrum. An overview of the 2.3 liters results and of the proposed 100 liters detector is shown.Comment: Proceeding for IDM200
