Estrangement and Out-of-Placeness in the Works of Luigi Gualdo Characters and places between ideal and reality, cosmopolitanism and uprooting This paper focuses on the different forms of estrangement and out-of-placeness which can be found in Luigi Gualdo’s works. Gualdo (1844-1898) was a prominent writer whose works are influenced by French realism and Parnasse, Italian scapigliatura and the European decadence and estheticism. Moreover, he lived between France and Italy and he was one of the main passeurs between French and Italian literature of his time. This particular condition of the writer is reflected in his works and in particular in the portraiture of his characters, which are often rootless artists and mundane women with a strong component of cosmopolitism. The aim of this paper is to analyse some of the characteristics and features of Gualdo’s characters according to the parameters of estrangement and out-of-placeness. In particular I will focus on the ambiguous nature of the relation between ideal world and reality, of artistic genius and its place in society and the normal world, as well as on more specific topics related to the subject, such as spleen, places described as theatrical decors, hotel rooms and feminine nomadic attitudes, cosmopolitism as both a challenge and an opportunity for the characters. I will conclude on a specific issue regarding the struggle between the estranged character, time, and aging.

La littérature est bel et bien un essai de construction d’un monde idéal. Ainsi, tout texte littéraire, quelle que soit sa nature est en miniature une construction mentale dans laquelle le réel est perçu comme palimpseste de l’imaginaire. Dans ce sens, les écrivains, les artistes, les musiciens ont une responsabilité face aux événements qui affectent leur environnement. Par leur esprit de projection, ils ont le pouvoir d’orienter le cours des événements. Luambo Makiadi Franco dont nous avons ana- lysé le texte est un exemple d’un auteur sensible qui, par son art, a donné une orientation objective devant un problème social. La littérature de ce point de vue constitue une loupe pour bien voir la société et l‘orienter. MOTS CLÉS: LITTÉRATURE ORALE, SOCIÉTÉ, VIE SOCIALE, RESPONSABILITÉ, CONSTRUCTION, DÉCONSTRUCTION. Literature is a construct that tests the possibilities of an ideal world. Thus, any literary text, whatever its nature, is in miniature a mental construct in which reality is perceived as a palimpsest of the imagination. In this way writers, artists and musicians have a responsibility to treat events that affect their environment. With their talent of projection, they have the power to direct the course of events. Luambo Makiadi Franco, whose text is the subject of analysis in this paper, is an example of a sensitive author, whose art has given us an intersubjective understanding of a social problem. In this type of work, literature is a magnifying glass through which society is examined and guided in a particular direction.

Conceptual Link

AbstractIn his Critique of the Power of Judgement, Kant explicates the creation of works of fine art (schöne Kunst) in terms of aesthetic ideas. His analysis of aesthetic ideas claims that they are not concepts (Begriffe) and are therefore not definable or describable in determinate language. Nevertheless, Kant claims that aesthetic ideas are communicable via spirit (Geist), a special mental ability he associates with artistic genius. This paper argues that Kant's notion of Geist is central to his analysis of fine art's expressive power. The notion of Geist constitutes a conceptual link between Kant's aesthetic theory and that of G. W. F. Hegel, for whose analysis Geist is the subject.

AbstractThis paper presents an analysis of the collocations of it. paura (fear) in Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron. The main goal of the research was to find out how this emotion is conceptualized in Boccaccio’s masterpiece, which is considered a milestone of Italian literature. Following the theory of conceptual metaphors and linguistic research on emotions, as well as a qualitative approach to collocation, it is shown that paura in the Decameron is depicted as an independent and powerful entity that rules the subject experiencing it.

Difficult Times

This article deals with the life and work of Vasyl Barka. He is one of the most prominent writers of the 20th century and one of the brightest representatives of Ukrainian emigration. The artist spent most of his life outside Ukraine. Nowadays he is returning to his native land in his poems. Deservedly, he gains appreciation and becomes the subject of research interest. Life conditions made him create a special world model, which the writer had created in his writings. This research analyzes the facts of his life in order to explain the original poetic micro– and macrocosm of the writer, it focuses on such aspects of his creativity, which underlie the philosophical design of the writer’s own picture of the world. The author tries to understand the basis of the writer’s life philosophy. Emphasis is laid on the fact that his hard, and sometimes even dramatic life totally fits into the context of our difficult times. It is believed that faith in God has always lived in the soul of the writer. But tough rejection of religion by the communist system, aggressive destruction of everything related to faith and church, encouraged the artist to look for the depths of this phenomena. Searching for the truth, Vasyl Barka is convinced that the deepest human’s tragedy lays in their sinful separation from God. The article says that Barka’s dream of an ideal world coincides with Skovoroda’s theory. However, the artist not only dreamt of such a world, but he became his representative himself. This view is confirmed by the last period of his life. Constant philosophical reflections about the sense of life have resulted in the change of the world outlook and the complete adoption of Christian ideology. With the help of his writings, Vasyl Barka tries to purify our spirituality from all the stinging and hypocritical things which were done by the Pharisees from science and arts and their books. In search for harmony, Barka creates poetry of original style which requires the reader’s physical and spiritual attention. The study showed that the poetic palette of the artist had been influenced by various style schools and directions. Such an alloy of styles largely explains the difficulty of perceiving of Vasyl Barka’s poems. Therefore, Barca’s poetry is on the verge of the general literary process. So, in future, Vasyl Bark’s extraordinary and rich creativity is worth investigating. Besides, it is worth analyzing from the point of view of national, religious and Christian principles.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

Orbit Computation

In this paper an orbit computation program for artificial satellites is presented. This program is operational and it has already been used to compute the orbits of several satellites.After an introductory discussion on the subject of artificial satellite orbit computations, the features of this program are thoroughly explained. In order to achieve the representation of the orbital elements over short intervals of time a drag-free perturbation theory coupled with a differential correction procedure is used, while the long range behavior is obtained empirically. The empirical treatment of the non-gravitational effects upon the satellite motion seems to be very satisfactory. Numerical analysis procedures supporting this treatment and experience gained in using our program are also objects of discussion.

Rule: I'd like at this point to bring up the subject of cables and wireways around the telescope. We've touched upon this twice during previous sessions: the cable wrap up problem, the communications problem, and data multiplexing problem. I think we'll ask Bill Baustian if he will give us a brief run down on what the electrical run problems are, besides doubling the system every year.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

The growth of Ag films deposited on various substrate materials such as MoS2, mica, graphite, and MgO has been investigated extensively using the in situ electron microscopy technique. The three stages of film growth, namely, the nucleation, growth of islands followed by liquid-like coalescence have been observed in both the vacuum vapor deposited and ion beam sputtered thin films. The mechanisms of nucleation and growth of silver films formed by ion beam sputtering on the (111) plane of silicon comprise the subject of this paper. A novel mode of epitaxial growth is observed to that seen previously.The experimental arrangement for the present study is the same as previous experiments, and the preparation procedure for obtaining thin silicon substrate is presented in a separate paper.
