Gandhāra and Beyond
edited by
Claudia Antonetti Bryan De Notariis Marco Enricoabstract
The volume Wine Cultures. Gandhāra and Beyond represents the primary outcome of the MALIWI project (SPIN Ca’ Foscari 2021) directed by Claudia Antonetti. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this work seeks to explore the production techniques, social functions, and cultural significance of intoxicating drinks with particular reference to wine – an extraordinary beverage that has been intertwined with human history for millennia. This volume gathers contributions by scholars interested in studying wine and drinking culture in Gandhāra and neighbouring regions, including Ancient Assyria, Arachosia, and present-day India. The topic is explored from three fundamental perspectives, employing a diverse range of sources, including literary and historical texts, as well as linguistic, iconographic, archaeological, and anthropological evidence.

Edizione anastatica dell’incunabolo impresso a Venezia da Giovanni Battista Sessa, 1496
abstract
Il Devisement dou monde è probabilmente l’opera della letteratura medievale che ha attraversato la più intricata vicenda testuale: scritto nel 1298 da Rustichello da Pisa, prigioniero insieme a Marco nelle carceri di Genova (in un francese fortemente mescidato da tratti italiani, riconoscibile nella sola copia rimasta, il cod. parigino fr. 1116: F), entro la prima metà del XIV secolo l’opera fu più volte tradotta in versioni che spesso sfiorano il radicale rimaneggiamento in toscano, veneziano, latino, francese, catalano, tedesco, ecc., producendo una ricchissima tradizione manoscritta e approdando precocemente alla stampa.

Salvation in the Jesuit Mission in Japan Under Francisco Cabral
Linda Zampol D’Ortia
abstract
The Jesuit textual production from the sixteenth century leaves no doubt that the Japanese evangelising enterprise was publicised as the epitome of success. Francisco Cabral, third superior of the mission, who had initially shared this judgement, in time began fearing that the mission was, instead, doomed to failure. As he perceived the loosening of the internal ties of the Society of Jesus, and the salvation of the catechumens as more and more independent of that of the Jesuits, Cabral concluded that God had abandoned the mission. This study, using little-known manuscript sources, examines Cabral’s attitudes towards his confreres and the Japanese people, to illuminate how particular salvation mechanics could define early modern Catholic missions.

Un monde partagé : la Sicile du premier siècle av. J.-C. entre Diodore et Cicéron

Stefania De Vido Cécile Durvyeabstract
This volume is the result of a scientific collaboration between the research centres of the Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l’Homme in Aix-en-Provence and the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, whose study interests converged in a joint experimental project. A detailed comparison between Cicero and Diodorus has never been proposed until now, probably because of the obvious disparity between their works. There is, on the one hand, an illustrious orator at the centre of the political and cultural experience of Rome, and on the other hand, a minor Greek historian whose intellectual profile has only recently been enhanced by critics. Yet, they have quite a lot in common: they both lived in the turbulent late Republican …

This volume stems from the need to contribute systematically to the debate on racism and to offer the opportunity to reflect on the different theories that have followed one another over time. This work does not intend to be exhaustive about the vast and articulated theoretical and empirical literature. The authors intend to provide an introduction focused on those aspects that seem most pertinent in understanding the evolution of the phenomenon and unveiling the mechanisms that underlie the discourses and practices of rejection and denial of the Other. The narrative structure that has been pursued relates to the historical-sociological reconstruction of the main theories that have attempted to respond to the forms in which different racisms have presented themselves within …

Rappresentazioni di genere nel linguaggio dei TG italiani
Monia Azzalini
abstract
This book is a study on gender representations in the language of the Italian TV news, adopting an interdisciplinary approach that integrates linguistic analysis with media analysis. The first part provides an overview of the theoretical and research framework on ‘language and gender’ and ‘media and gender’, with a brief presentation of the international theoretical models and an annotated review of the state of the art at a national level. Convergence and shared notions in the common perspective of ‘gender’ will be highlighted across the two fields. The second part features a corpus analysis of the female and male representations in the Italian TV news, which explores both the gender-based variations in the speech of the sources of the news …

Le frasi derivate da movimento nei bambini con impianto cocleare
Dalla valutazione al training linguistico
Silvia D’Ortenzio
abstract
This book faces two issues: the assessment of movement-derived structures in children with cochlear implants, and the linguistic training based on the explicit teaching of syntactic rules. Participants were tested on the production, comprehension, and repetition of sentences derived by A’ movement. The performance of the children with cochlear implants was compared with the performance of a group of children with normal hearing. Results showed a better performance of hearing children than deaf children, and the typical subject-object asymmetry common to both groups. As for the training part, three case studies are presented on the adaptation into Italian of the linguistic training of relative clauses. The linguistic training follows the protocols developed for adults with aphasia and children with Developmental …

Karl von Zinzendorf, Tagebuch einer kommerziellen Studienreise durch die Schweiz
Annotated Edition of the Original French Text of the Diary June-October 1764
edited by
Helmut Watzlawickabstract
This edition is part of a wider project for a comprehensive transcription of the diary by Karl von Zinzendorf (1739‑1813). Zinzendorf was counsellor at the Treasury (Commerzienrat) in Vienna (1762‑66), Governor of Trieste (1776‑82), and later Staatsminister. From 1764 to 1770 he travelled to different European countries: Switzerland, Italy, Malta, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, the British Isles, and Belgium. The complete diary, which covers the period from his Saxon childhood to his death as minister in Vienna, is renowned for the regularity of its entries as well as the acute observations and critical self‑reflections of the author. Zinzendorf’s stay in Switzerland between June and October 1764 corresponds to one of his study trip to analyse …

Architecture, Arts and Antiquities at Rialto

Myriam Pilutti Namer
abstract
The book offers a greater understanding of the multiple layers of meaning that have been superimposed in the course of the Medieval and Modern Ages in the Rialto area. The authors follow the Leitmotiv of the memorial component that each operation of architectural reuse has carried in the history of the church of San Giacomo di Rialto, a building which stands, emblematically, as a sort of architectural relic. Adopting this principle, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the spatial model, the reuse of individual architectural and decorative elements but also, on a larger scale, the different configurations of the urban context (the Rialto market) through the centuries, after repeated destruction, reconstruction and transformation. By adopting this multi-scale approach, the …

Ottoman Philosophical Culture and the Court Debate Between Zeyrek (d. 903/1497-98 [?]) and Ḫocazāde (d. 893/1488)
Efe Murat Balıkçıoğlu
abstract
The present volume offers a detailed analysis of a fifteenth-century court debate on God’s unicity (tawḥīd), involving the Ottoman scholars Mollā Zeyrek (d. 903/1497-98 [?]) and Ḫocazāde Muṣliḥuddīn Muṣṭafā (d. 893/1488), as a chance to highlight the dynamics of knowledge production at the time: in post-classical Islamic scholarship, an essential element of the process was scholars’ adroitness in synthesizing arguments from differing schools of philosophy and theology – via close readings of past masters. This dialectic unfolded during a period of imperial restructuring, at a time when Sultan Meḥmed II (d. 886/1481) realized his cosmopolitan and universalistic ambitions through his persistent patronage of philosophy and science, a case that is illustrated by his glorious palatine library. The setting, …

The project Sostenibilart aims to raise awareness on a crucial issue, such as the sustainability of all our activities on the planet, and together to ‘educate’ concretely, through art, sustainability in a broad sense, inspiring and promoting actions. The idea is powerful and understandable: to encourage, in the current international scene, artists of significant standing to become ‘Ambassadors of Sustainability’, contributing with their works to promote a greater and more active awareness of environmental respect, the non-dissipative use of the planetary resources, multiethnic and multigenerational sharing.

Southern Hokkaidō and Sakhalin Varieties
Elia Dal Corso
abstract
This volume is intended to be a practical manual to learn the basics of the Ainu language, in its varieties of Southern Hokkaidō and Sakhalin. Each lesson presents one specific topic that is investigated taking into account both varieties of the language. Three kinds of activities guide the student throughout each lesson to inductively make generalisations on the language that can be supported by linguistic evidence and, possibly, to revise the information they were given as a start of their analysis. In order to do this, the student learns to observe the data, recognize recurring patterns and exceptions, and formulate a description of the language behaviours illustrated by the given examples. At the end of each lesson the student actively …

This volume is born from the desire to bring together two worlds: that of Dante scholars and that of cartoonists and illustrators who have drawn inspiration from Dante. The volume is composed of two sections, the first of which, without any claim to being exhaustive, intends to retrace and analyse the presence of Dante and his works in Italian comics and cartoons from the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. Here, from the relationship with the archetypal Gustave Doré, we come to the most recent realisations on web platforms, crossing important junctions in the history of Italy along with some of the most important representatives of the ninth art – Guido Martina, Milo Manara, Benito Jacovitti, Marcello, …

Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Italy Between Exclusion, Discrimination and Struggles
edited by
Francesco Della Puppa Giuliana Sanòabstract
This volume analyses exclusion processes, segregation dynamics and the forms of discrimination of refugees and asylum seekers in Italy, where the reception system is marked by opaqueness and arbitrariness and is becoming increasingly similar to the model of “camps”. The numerous vibrant contributions present a fully-fledged system of inferiorization, characterised by labour exploitation, housing discomfort, meagre rights and control strategies, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a sharp worsening of the health, work, housing and administrative conditions. A framework that has found opposition in the daily resistance and in the struggles of asylum seekers.
