PART ONE is intended for European readers, chiefly Italian and is the completion of PART TWO, the essay intended for American readers and prepared, in April 2012, for the Conference at Stevens Institute of Technology (Castle Point on Hudson, USA) titled 'George Perkins Marsh: An American for All Seasons'. Deposited in the SIAE Copyright Office (Italian Society of Authors, Editors and Publishers: Dep. number 2012004334 - 2012); Copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington (2012) From Vermont to Italy. On the day of 23rd July 2012 is the hundred and thirtieth anniversary of the death of George Perkins Marsh (Woodstock March 15, 1801 – Vallombrosa July 23, 1882). In this Essay the attention will be concentrated particularly on George P. Marsh and Italy, where his masterpiece ‘Man and Nature’ was written and then also translated in Italian from the first American edition. George P. Marsh, of Vermont, well-known in the world today as one of the pioneers, better yet, for many scholars the founder of Conservationist conception of environmentalism, and thus an essential catalyst for the Conservation movement, is not always sufficiently renowned for being a great personage in the History of Geographical Thought, and an excellent scholar in a long line of disciplines, most notably linguistic and philological, as well as for being a statesman and an adroit and influential diplomat. The last remark in particular might seem groundless as it particularly concerns Italy where he in fact lived from June 1861, until his death in 1882, in the role of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States in the Kingdom of Italy. It is true that in 2011 he was sometimes remembered on the occasion of the Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary the Italian Unification, but it fact the memory of him has considerably diminished in Italy in the course of the 20th Century. On the contrary, during is Office in Italy and at the time of his decease he was of great political and cultural importance and had a following in the newborn unified Italian State. Although American and Anglo-Saxon Geography of the second half of the 20th Century started to renew its own interest in the teachings of George Perkins Marsh and to delve into his cultural legacy, in Italy he remained in the shadows and was hardly noticed in Europe. 2013-01-15T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2067/2324 Title: La recente storiografia italiana attraverso le riviste. L'età contemporanea Authors: Rapone, Leonardo Abstract: Il testo deriva da una relazione presentata ad un seminario organizzato da «Studi storici» e dalla Fondazione Istituto Gramsci, tenutosi a Roma nel giugno 2011. Superato il traguardo del mezzo secolo di attività, «Studi storici» ha voluto riflettere sulla propria esperienza, inquadrandola in una riflessione a più ampio raggio sul complesso delle riviste storiche italiane; ha voluto così anche fornire un contributo di analisi alla discussione attualmente in corso, non solo in Italia, sulla valutazione delle riviste scientifiche. Ogni relazione o intervento ha trattato di una specifica epoca storica. 2011-12-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2067/2287 Title: Gramsci giovane. La critica e le interpretazioni Authors: Rapone, Leonardo Abstract: Gramsci’s intellectual and political formation in the 1910s – a period long deemed of limited relevance in his biography − has recently received renewed critical and scholarly attention. The essay maps out the critical fortunes and misfortunes of young Gramsci. It opens with the earliest interpretations, whose main aim was to establish the level of Leninism characterizing the initial expressions of Gramsci’s thought, to then move on to the subsequent divergence between those critics who deemed Gramsci’s early work irrelevant to the overall understanding of his thought, and those who, conversely, considered it as the precocious expression of a distinctive political and intellectual identity. The current resurgence of Gramscian studies has latterly permitted to reconstruct the path leading Gramsci into the theoretical range of communism, thereby establishing continuities and discontinuities with his original concept of socialism. 2010-12-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2067/2283 Title: Linguaggi specialistici dell'italiano Authors: Gualdo, Riccardo; Telve, Stefano Abstract: Over the last fifty years, sociolinguistic relevance of specialized discourse has increased greatly so as to contribute to the evolution both of standard italian as well as literary one. In this book, typical features of scientific and professional languages such as historical continuity, constant updating and international dimension are shown in detail through morphosyntactic, lexical and textual properties of four main linguistic and disciplinary areas: science, medicine, economy and law. In the digital era, specialized languages are used by experts as well as lay people through a wider and wider range of communication channels and type of texts, so that linguistic forms of popularization and didactics also are several and various. These distinctive features and their highly dynamic linguistic profile make specialized languages being so flourishing and fascinating. 2010-12-31T23:00:00Z
