    Il progetto nasce dalla committenza di Roberto Daolio per la realizzazione di opere da collocare all’ultimo piano del reparto di Oncologia Pediatrica dell’Ospedale Sant’Orsola di Bologna in collaborazione con l’Associazione Ageop. Gli artisti invitati sono Silvia Cini, Emilio Fantin, Claudia Losi, Eva Marisaldi, Sabrina Mezzaqui, Sabrina Torelli e Marco Vaglieri. Marisaldi articola il progetto in due proposte: la prima consiste nella pubblicazione di un volumetto di fotografie da collocare nei comodini della camere dei genitori dei bimbi ospiti della struttura; la seconda nella realizzazione di una valigia in tessuto - trasformabile in poltroncina – da riempire con giocattoli da portare a casa propria una volta guariti e dimessi dalla struttura. Il progetto non viene realizzato a seguito di una serie di motivazioni economiche, tecnico logistiche.The project was commissioned by Roberto Daolio as part of a series of art works to be placed on the top floor of the Department of Pediatric Oncology of the Sant’Orsola Hospital in Bologna, in collaboration with the Association AGEOP. The invited artists are Silvia Cini, Emilio Fantin, Claudia Losi, Eva Marisaldi, Sabrina Mezzaqui, Sabrina Torelli and Marco Vaglieri. Marisaldi structures the project into two proposals: the first consists in the publication of a book of pictures to be placed in the bedside tables of the rooms of the parents of the children staying in the hospital, while the second is the production of a textile bag – convertible into a chair - to be filled with toys that could be taken home once the children recovered and were discharged from the hospital. The project was not realized due to a series of economical, technical and logistic reasons

    Note intorno al Teatro Vagante

    In questo testo-intervista Scabia traccia, alternando racconto e riflessione, un percorso che abbracciatutta l'attività del suo Teatro Vagante: dalle azioni nelle scuole degli inizi degli anni '70 - agli alboridell'Animazione Teatrale, che anche da qui prese le mosse - al lavoro all'Università di Bologna,organica continuazione di quei primi esperimenti. Dalla poesia alle azioni teatrali in strada;dall'architettura della pagina al respiro della parola detta in presenza ; dalle aule e dai teatri ai trekking nella natura di giorno e di notte, tutti questi sconfinamenti sono raccontati in prima persona; neemerge una narrazione nella quale la pedagogia si intreccia con la vita e le sue relazioni; e la scritturaviene ogni volta messa alla prova nelle circostanze date - siano esse una scuola, un paese tra gliAppennini, il quartiere di una grande città, un bosco, un cammino - alla ricerca di una “poesia delloslancio vitale”.Giuliano Scabia interweaves memory and critical discourse to delineate a path, that encompasses allphases of his Teatro Vagante: from applied theatre in the schools at the beginning of the Seventies, atthe dawn of ‘animazione teatrale’, to his work at the University of Bologna, an organic continuation ofthose experiments. From poetry to street theatre, from the planning of the written page to the breath oforal speech, from University halls and theatrical buildings to the trekking into the nature, day and night,one tale emerges, where pedagogy interweaves with life and all its connections. Writing is being tested , each time, in different contexts -be them a school, a rural village, a urban neighborhood, apath- looking after a “poetry of lively impetus”

    Frontières reculées de la citation: sur trois films de Hans-Jürgen Syberberg

    Get PDF
    L'articolo studia tre film di Hans-Jürgen Syberberg ( Karl May del 1974, Hitler, ein Film aus Deutschland del 1977 e Ein Traum, was sonst ? del 1994), mettendo in luce il lavoro del cineasta come raccoglitore e montatore di archivi visivi, sonori e letterari. In queste opere che sono insieme antologiche, memoriali e sinfoniche, si afferma un gusto spiccato per la citazione (i collages rinviano per esempio al cinema primordiale di Méliès), sul filo del malinconico rimpianto per un paradiso perduto, al tempo stesso personale e culturale.This article analyses three films by Hans-Jürgen Syberberg – Karl May (1974), Hitler, ein Film aus Deutschland (1977) and Ein Traum, was sonst ? (1994) – in order to shed light on the filmmaker's work as a collector and editor of visual, sound and literary archives. Simultaneously anthological, memorial and symphonic, these works feature a striking penchant for quotation (for instance the collages referring to Méliès' primordial cinema) along the lines of the melancholy regret for a lost paradise which is both personal and cultural

    Scott King ha sviluppato questo progetto come CRASH!, insieme a Matthew Worley, storico e scrittore, in occasione della Map Marathon alla Serpentine Gallery. CRASH!, progetto ispirato nel nome al periodico Blast! di Wyndham Lewis e progettato per “move against the grain of existing cultural preoccupations”consiste in una serie di pubblicazioni e di attività che King e Worley hanno intrapreso dopo che il primo ha lasciato il lavoro di art director presso i-D Magazine, e principalmente in una rivista pubblicato in maniera indipendente – ne sono usciti tre numeri monografici: Death To The New, n.1 1997, Britstop, n.2 1997, Prada Meinhof, n.12 1999 – e in diversi lavori presentati all’interno di altre riviste commerciali, eventi, sticker e magliette. Tutta la grafica e l’art direction del progetto è stata seguita da King, mentre Worley ha lavorato sui testi, idee e concetti sono stati sviluppati insieme dal duo. Una mostra dedicata a questo progetto, il Corporatism & Complicity, è stato inoltre organizzata nel 1999 presso l’ICA di Londra. A Better Britain è una serie di 12 progetti, pubblicata originariamente all’interno del programma per la Maps Marathon, fianco a fianco con le informazioni riguardanti l’evento. Ogni progetto è presentato attraverso un’immagine, realizzata da Scott King con un’estetica da collage povero, simile a una fotocopia, e un testo scritto da Matthew Worley per presentare un’idea, di volta in volta affrontando un tema specifico riguardante la Gran Bretagna contemporanea attraverso una proposta utopica/distopica e spesso satirica.Scott King developed this project as CRASH!, with historian and writer Matthew Worley, for the the Serpentine Map Marathon event. CRASH!, named after Wyndham Lewis periodical Blast!and designed to “move against the grain of existing cultural preoccupations”consisted in a series of publications and activities the pair undertook after King left i-D Magazine, and consisted mainly in a self-published magazine – three monographic numbers came out: Death To The New, n.1 1997,Britstop, n.2 1997 and then Prada Meinhof, n.12 1999 – and in many works presented in other commercial magazines as well as events, stickers, T-shirts. All the graphic design and art direction was by King, while Worley worked on the texts; the ideas and concepts were developed together. An exhibition dedicated to this project, Corporatism & Complicity, was also organized at the ICA in London, 1999. A Better Britain is a series of 12 projects, published inside what appeared to be the programme for the Maps Marathon and along with the informations about the event. Each project featured an image, designed by Scott King with a xerox, collage aesthetic, and a text written by Matthew Worley to present the idea, which always addressed with a utopian/dystopian and often satirical proposal a specific theme regarding contemporary Britain

    Explaining Factors Affecting Energy Demand Elasticity: Does the Quality of Institutions Matter?

    Get PDF
    Up to the present time energy intensity of production in the former socialist countries is essentially higher than in the countries with sound market economy. So, in CIS economies energy consumption per a unit of GDP is 3 to 4 times as high as that in OECD Europe countries. We suggest and show using econometric model that severe climatic conditions explain this difference only partly. A model of energy consuming production sector is suggested all the firms holding market power and facing uncertain transaction cost at the market. We show that given an energy price shock the higher is probability to encounter the high transaction cost, the less the number of the firms, which implement energy saving projects is. A cross country econometric analysis involving also a climatic variable, a shadow economy size variable, and an institutional component based on 2000 international statistical data suggests that energy price elasticity of energy intensity parameter is the lower (by its absolute value) the weaker is institutional environment in a given economy. We provide estimation results of these coefficients by 74 economies as well. From six institutional indices provided by the World Bank database "Governance Matters V: Governance Indicators for 1996-2005” two ones - Government Effectiveness and Graft – have the highest significance in the model. This fact confirms a certain idea that corruption is the main obstacle negatively affecting operation of economic mechanisms in the most of the transitional economies

    Il "Sogno" di un collezionista del Seicento napoletano. Maurizio Di Gregorio tra riscrittura e plagio

    Nel 1614 escono a Napoli il Sogno e il Rosario delle stampe de tutti i poeti e poetesse antichi e moderni di numero 500 del domenicano e accademico ozioso Maurizio Di Gregorio. Il saggio prende in esame le strategie di riscrittura che sorreggono per intero la struttura dell'opera dove i testi di autori più o meno contemporanei (Tommaso Garzoni, Giovan Battista Rinaldi) sono sottoposti a un intenso lavoro di aggiornamento. L'analisi si concentra in particolar modo sui prelievi che nel Sogno vengono identificati, sulle metodologie e tecniche di composizione del frate predicatore dedito a uno 'schizofrenico' esercizio letterario.Sogno and Rosario delle stampe de tutti i poeti e poetesse antichi e moderni di numero 500 by the Dominican friar and idle academic Maurizio Di Gregorio were published in Naples in 1614. This essay examines the rewriting strategies supporting the entire structure of a work in which texts by more or less contemporary authors (Tommaso Garzoni, Giovan Battista Rinaldi) undergo an intense labour of revision. This analysis focuses particularly on the quotations identified in Sogno, as well as on the methodologies and composition techniques of the preaching-friar, and his peculiarly 'schizophrenic' literary practice

    Planning the digital library development between tradition and innovation

    Libraries, archives and museums are centuries old institutions which have been committed to physical, concepual and long term access to the artefacts of human knowledge, as books, objects, documents. These cultural institutions are now confronting with enormous challenges brought about by the shift of these artifacts from analog to digital format. It is not only a problem of dealing with technologies, or simply with a different support of information. Digital objects and resources, physical represented by digit, have different properties than information stored in stone, papyrus, paper. Since the vision of digital library, by Vannevar Bush, the functionalities requested to a digital library are more than a simple library. The new role of digital library is providing an information space which facilitates communication, resources sharing and knowledge creatio

    The issue of copyright,especially with the advent of new tecnologies,is the provocative question in the scientific and academic community. Despite the copyright regulations similar to most of the countries in the world, the problem of unauthorized exploitation of works is growing. In terms of solving the above problems, a lot is said about the theoretical and legal solutions, but practical options that are free and easily accessible are often forgot

    This paper examines the roles and competences of digital librarians and the trends of education for digital libraries in Europe. It puts two questions: What are the IT (Information Technology) profiles for digital librarians? How should they be educated? The analysis is based on the results of the European project European Curriculum Reflections on Library and Information Science Education and the proceedings of two Workshops on digital library education, held in Italy in 2005. Three approaches to education for the digital library have been described: 1) the emergence of the concept of “memory institutions”; 2) the library approach to information and knowledge management; 3) the IT isolation from LIS (Library and Information Science) schools. The roles of the digital librarian together with the structure of a course in digital librarianship, covering learning outcomes , competences and teaching methods is proposed, but further research is needed

    Recognition and Quality Assurance in Library and Information Science (LIS): common objectives, indicators and benchmarks in Europe

    The objectives of the article are to demonstrate the need of cooperation in quality assurance ad recognition between higher education institutions and vocational education and training accreditors, with particular focus on exchange of models and methods of accreditation, which have been adopted in LIS, as well as common criteria and principles. There are some assumptions in this research: author believes that there is enough room within the fundamental concept of the quality of LIS education, to incorporate most of the emerging theories and philophies of learning, based on reflective practice and lifelong learning. The Guidelines produced by Library Associations, together with a documentary and literature review, have been analysed to outline common objectives, indicators and benchmarks between individual certification and LIS programmes accreditation. In Europe, the internationalisation process – with the Bologna Declaration (1999) and the Copenhagen Declaration (2002) - have identified certain concrete outputs in the fields of quality assurance, transparency and recognition of qualifications, in order to improve the overall performance and attractiveness of European Higher Education Area and to foster students and workers mobility. The European Qualification Framework, Europass and ECVET are discussed as the way that learning outcomes and recognition of competences can be linked to European Commission action lines. In conclusion, the need for a broad definition of continuing professional development in LIS is outlined
