Giovanni VI Cantacuzeno e l’Islam
Le Apologiae e le Orationes: introduzione, traduzione e commentario
Marco Fanelli
abstract
This volume presents a revised interpretative framework and a comprehensive analysis of the anti-Islamic corpus composed by Emperor John VI Cantacuzenus. Particular attention is devoted to the transmission of the text within the broader manuscript tradition of Cantacuzenus’s oeuvre, its intertextual relationship with earlier sources, and, most significantly, its engagement with Demetrios Cydones’s Greek translation of Riccoldo da Monte di Croce’s Contra legem Sarracenorum. These dimensions are indispensable for situating the corpus within the wider context of Cantacuzenus’s literary and ideological production. By approaching the work as an instance of apologetic polemic, this study repositions the corpus within the author's intellectual trajectory and underscores its remarkable originality in the context of Byzantine anti-Islamic literature. The volume includes a complete Italian …

The Virtues of the Good Muslim
Ida Zilio-Grandi
abstract
This book aims to offer a concise, though not exhaustive, exploration of the core virtues of the ‘good Muslim’, highlighting the moral foundations that are essential to the Islamic faith. It seeks to present readers with the values that Islam promotes: gratitude and patience, mercy and hospitality, tolerance and peace, protecting the weak, among others. The virtues of the good Muslim emerge from two different sources: the divine qualities, otherwise the ‘Beautiful Names’, which, or most of which, the believer will try to imitate to the best of his limited human ability; and the love of God, explicitly referred to in the Qurʾān in relation to certain categories of believers and their qualities. Two different frameworks, which nevertheless echo one …

Everyday Communication in Antiquity: Frames and Framings
edited by
Klaas Benteinabstract
This volume explores everyday communication practices in Greco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt, with a particular focus on Greek papyri and related sources. It examines how language, layout, and materiality – manifesting overtly or subtly, at global and local levels – shaped the production and interpretation of texts. Grounded in a ‘frame-based’ approach, the chapters draw on sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and multimodality to reveal how ancient writers and readers constructed meaning and articulated identities across genres, languages, and cultural contexts.

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.

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.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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.

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, …

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 …

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.

In the introduction to his well-known The Power of Images (1989), David Freedberg claims not only that images hold power over us, but they are also, inevitably, related to ‘power’ itself. Art is therefore a powerful and non-neutral tool. Its forms and expressions influence and manipulate the realm of the real. Throughout human history, the artist’s creative power gave form, substance, and meaning to otherwise inert matter. This process turned the artist into a demiurge. Furthermore, once …

Tracce d’arte contemporanea a Cortina d’Ampezzo
Dall’archivio digitale del Museo Mario Rimoldi
a cura di
Diego Mantoanabstract
Nel 1974 apriva i battenti a Cortina il Museo d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea intitolato a Mario Rimoldi, albergatore e già sindaco durante le Olimpiadi del 1956, in seno a una ben più antica istituzione, le Regole d’Ampezzo. Nasceva così uno dei primi musei privati rivolti all’arte del Novecento italiano, esito virtuoso dell’attività collezionistica dello stesso Rimoldi. Il Museo arricchì la comunanza ampezzana di un patrimonio che si impegnava a valorizzare la complessiva eredità artistica della conca dolomitica, proiettando il ruolo di Cortina ben oltre quello naturalistico e ricettivo. Tuttavia, erano rimasti inesplorati finora i materiali d’archivio del Museo, tra cui corrispondenze e fotografie che ripercorrono le vicende di uno dei più raffinati collezionisti di metà Novecento con maestri quali Giorgio …

Postcolonial Publics: Art and Citizen Media in Europe
a cura di
Bolette B. Blaagaard Sabrina Marchetti Sandra Ponzanesi Shaul Bassiabstract
Postcolonial Publics: Art and Citizen Media in Europe presents a collection of sixteen chapters that explore the themes of how migrants, refugees and citizens express and share their political and social causes and experiences through art and media. These expressions, which we term ‘citizen media’, arguably become a platform for postcolonial intellectuals as the studies pursued in this volume investigate the different ways in which previously excluded social groups regain public voice. The volume strives to understand the different articulations of migrants’, refugees’, and citizens’ struggle against increasingly harsh European politics that allow them to achieve and empower political subjectivity in a mediated and creative space. In this way, the contributions in this volume present case studies of citizen media …

Enacting Dance, Performance, and the Digital in the Museum
a cura di
Susanne Franco Gabriella Giannachiabstract
This collection of essays investigates some of the theories and concepts related to the burgeoning presence of dance and performance in the museum. This surge has led to significant revisions of the roles and functions that museums currently play in society. The authors provide key analyses on why and how museums are changing by looking into participatory practices and decolonisation processes, the shifting relationship with the visitor/spectator, the introduction of digital practices in collection making and museum curation, and the creation of increasingly complex documentation practices. The tasks designed by artists who are involved in the European project Dancing Museums. The Democracy of Beings (2018-21) respond to the essays by suggesting a series of body-mind practices that readers could perform …

John Ruskin’s Europe. A Collection of Cross-Cultural Essays
With an Introductory Lecture by Salvatore Settis
a cura di
Emma Sdegno Martina Frank Myriam Pilutti Namer Pierre-Henry Frangneabstract
L’opera di Ruskin s’inscrive con forza nel grande contesto europeo, segnando un momento importante del movimento di costituzione di una cultura e di uno spirito comunitari. I saggi qui raccolti intendono porre al centro della riflessione critica il tema del rapporto fecondo e imprescindibile di Ruskin con l’Europa, presentandosi come occasioni di approfondimento e di confronto su questioni attinenti all’estetica, alla tutela del patrimonio materiale e immateriale, alla memoria culturale e letteraria. Portando all’attenzione della comunità scientifica i molteplici aspetti – geografici, storico-artistici, critico-estetici, letterari, socio-politici – dell’opera di Ruskin secondo prospettive inter- e transculturali, il volume si propone di (ri)scoprire un Ruskin deliberatamente europeo e di stimolare nuove rotte di ricerca.

Un bric-à-brac de la Belle Époque
Estudio de la novela Fortuny (1983) de Pere Gimferrer
Lídia Carol Geronès
abstract
En 1983 Pere Gimferrer publicó su primera novela, Fortuny. Según Octavio Paz, con este unicum literario, el poeta barcelonés reinventa el género novelesco con pinturas verbales que capturan fragmentos de un mundo artístico perdido. En este estudio se reconstruye por primera vez la génesis y la recepción de esta novela singular, teniendo en cuenta el (doble) impacto (y algunas polémicas) que causó en las letras hispánicas (catalana y castellana). Proponiendo un análisis narratológico, se desvelan las referencias literarias y cinematográficas del imaginario complejo de toda la producción gimferriana.

Storie della Biennale di Venezia
a cura di
Stefania Portinari Nico Stringaabstract
Atlante delle biennali intende essere un portolano per attraversare la storia e il presente di mostre che diventano epicentri di incontro e confronto anche tra nazioni e identità, che come mappe complesse e mesmerizzanti segnalano molteplici prospettive e punti cardinali. Uno sguardo widestream sul sistema dell’arte inizia puntando il periscopio su delle nuove Storie della Biennale di Venezia: rivelando altri intrecci di questa istituzione, ma interpretando pure le sorprendenti rotte che percorrono i padiglioni, in un gioco combinatorio che conduce verso avventure curatoriali e sorprendenti immaginari.

Venezia 1868: l’anno di Ca’ Foscari
a cura di
Nico Stringa Stefania Portinariabstract
Il volume Venezia 1868: l’anno di Ca’ Foscari, mappando il contesto in cui avviene la nascita dell’Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia come Scuola Superiore di Commercio, ci rende più partecipi dell’importanza della sua storia, proponendola come un esempio positivo di rilancio culturale ed economico in una situazione di avversità ma anche di speranza qual era quella del tempo, richiamando la sua mission contemporanea. Le ricerche storico-artistiche e storiche evidenziano inoltre come l’offerta formativa cafoscarina sia sempre stata molto aggiornata e strettamente connessa con la realtà locale, ma al contempo proiettata verso il futuro e attenta alle novità, essendo questi punti in nuce nella sua stessa fondazione.

Gli artisti di Ca’ Pesaro e le esposizioni del 1919 e del 1920
a cura di
Stefania Portinariabstract
L’Esposizione di Palazzo Pesaro del luglio 1919 rappresenta la ‘ripresa’ dell’attività degli artisti al termine della Prima Guerra Mondiale e le sue caratteristiche polimorfe la rendono qualcosa di unico nel panorama italiano ed europeo, il più ambizioso progetto per testimoniare il mutato contesto, a sei anni dalla mostra del 1913. L’evolversi della situazione nelle mostre del 1920, per la prima volta sdoppiate tra Ca’ Pesaro e la sede della galleria privata Geri Boralevi in Piazza San Marco, scandaglia la complessa vicenda, completando il quadro del primo dopoguerra a Venezia.

L’Esposizione d’arte del 1913
a cura di
Nico Stringa Stefania Portinariabstract
Le mostre giovanili dell’Opera Bevilacqua La Masa hanno lasciato un’impronta indelebile sull’immagine stessa di Venezia come luogo della modernità, e quindi come sede del rinnovamento promosso da artisti che si sono riconosciuti e hanno operato non in gruppi predefiniti, ma comunque con un senso identitario generazionale, cresciuti in uno spazio intermedio tra Accademia di Belle Arti e Biennale Internazionale d’Arte, tra autodidattismo e apprendimento di nuovi linguaggi grazie a viaggi all’estero verso Parigi, Vienna, Monaco. La mostra di Ca’ Pesaro del 1913 è una delle più significative.

Un poeta del sogno e dell'immagine
abstract
La raccolta di saggi di questo volume completa il progetto Tarkovskiana promosso dall’Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, dal Centro di Studi sulle Arti della Russia (CSAR), dal Circuito Cinema del Comune di Venezia e dedicato al regista russo Andrej Tarkovskij (1932-1986) per celebrarne gli ottant’anni dalla nascita. Il volume raccoglie riflessioni critiche su un poeta del cinema spirituale che si qualifica non solo in quanto potente e rigoroso regista, ma anche originale innovatore e raffinato artista della crisi della storia culturale dell’Occidente novecentesco. In anticipazione, a suo modo profetica, di quella del presente secolo.

La rivista MDCCC 1800, fondata nel 2012 da Martina Frank, Elena Catra, Isabella Collavizza, Myriam Pilutti Namer e Letizia Tasso, costituisce un luogo d’incontro e di discussione internazionale sull’architettura e le arti nel periodo che intercorre tra la fine del Settecento e gli inizi del Novecento, identificato dallo storico Eric Hobsbawn come il ‘lungo Ottocento’ (Long 19th Century). Riconosciuto come snodo cruciale della storia recente su cui si fonda l’ossatura del nostro presente, il ‘lungo Ottocento’ ha visto riletti, indagati, interpretati innumerevoli stili architettonici e artistici del passato, e ha parimenti assistito al delinearsi di fenomeni dirompenti quali lo sviluppo del neoclassicismo e la nascita delle avanguardie del XX secolo. In prospettiva interdisciplinare e crossculturale, la rivista pubblica ogni …
