At its introduction, this work was announced as un ‘opera diversissima, a most different work in the purpose that it pursued and, consequently, in the general plan that characterized it, as well as in its choice and distribution of the material. Furthermore, rather than an inde- pendent study, it was meant to become a part and a complement of a “system” so as to offer a panoramic synthesis and the essential characteristics of a very important moment in the development of the Italian and European culture. The volume that Sapegno wrote dedicates, in its original Italian version, about one third of its pages to Dante (excluding its bibliography), an almost equal num- ber of pages is dedicated to Petrarch and Boccaccio, while the minor writers are introduced more summarily, in proportion to their importance and position, in the cultural, historical and social events of the time. When Sapegno completed this study, he had already been conducting an active research and written numerous documents on the subject (as well as several XII | A LITERARY HISTORY OF THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY others on different authors and periods) for approximately three decades. The Storia in question, therefore, constituted the

VIII, IV (2002) © dell'autore - Distribuito in formato digitale da "Reti Medievali"]. provided by Reti Medievali Open Archive View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk CORE brought to you by I. Premessa Si può facilmente constatare come dalla prima metà del Novecento, soprattutto nel periodo compreso tra gli anni Venti e Quaranta, e sino a tempi assai recenti l'attenzione degli studiosi non si sia rinnovata nei confronti delle tematiche connesse alla società e alle istituzioni comunali modenesi del secolo XIII. Risalgono infatti a quell'epoca interventi tutt'oggi fondamentali di Giovanni De Vergottini sull'emersione del populus come soggetto politico nella dinamica istituzionale cittadina1 e di Emilio Paolo Vicini su vari aspetti della storia urbana di età comunale2, accompagnati da un intenso fervore nel settore della pubblicazione di fonti documentarie, narrative e normative curate dallo stesso Vicini indispensabili per sostenere tali orientamenti di studi3. Ancora Paolo Brezzi, in un saggio di taglio riassuntivo apparso una decina di anni fa, per i riferimenti alla situazione locale non poteva che riallacciarsi a tale bibliografia integrandola con due approfondite ricerche di Luigi Simeoni, la prima, apparsa nel 1919, dedicata a chiarire i presupposti politici alla base dell'esordio della signoria estense negli anni 1288-89, e la seconda, pubblicata trent'anni più tardi, relativa al contributo dei vescovi modenesi della seconda metà del secolo XI al decollo delle istituzioni comunali4.

  • Levitsky Dissertation
    The Song from the Singer: Personification, Embodiment, and Anthropomorphization in Troubadour Lyric Anne Levitsky Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Anne Levitsky All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Song from the Singer: Personification, Embodiment, and Anthropomorphization in Troubadour Lyric Anne Levitsky This dissertation explores the relationship of the act of singing to being a human in the lyric poetry of the troubadours, traveling poet-musicians who frequented the courts of contemporary southern France in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. In my dissertation, I demonstrate that the troubadours surpass traditionally-held perceptions of their corpus as one entirely engaged with themes of courtly romance and society, and argue that their lyric poetry instead both displays the influence of philosophical conceptions of sound, and critiques notions of personhood and sexuality privileged by grammarians, philosophers, and theologians. I examine a poetic device within troubadour songs that I term ‘personified song’—an occurrence in the lyric tradition where a performer turns toward the song he/she is about to finish singing and directly addresses it. This act lends the song the human capabilities of speech, motion, and agency. It is through the lens of the ‘personified song’ that I analyze this understudied facet of troubadour song. Chapter One argues that the location of personification in the poetic text interacts with the song’s melodic structure to affect the type of personification the song undergoes, while exploring the ways in which singing facilitates the creation of a body for the song.

  • Language and Dialect in Italy and the Wider Europe in the Context of the Unesco Atlas
    Language and dialect in Italy and the wider Europe in the context of the unesco Atlas Christopher Moseley Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to join this confer- ence on the linguistic situation of the Veneto Region. As the editor of the unesco Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger, which is now in its third edition, I would like to try and put the Veneto Region into a European context, and ultimately a world context. The unesco Atlas grew out of the concept of the «Red Book», which originally was meant to provide a world-wide alert to the loss of biological diversity. By the early Nineteen-nineties, linguists and anthropologists were beginning to notice a parallel between the losses sustained by nature and the losses sustained by human culture. Being an organisation con- cerned with both science and culture, it naturally fell to unesco to take up the call to safeguard cultural as well as biological diversity. The first two editions of this Atlas, in 1996 and 2001, were issued in book form, with an accompanying set of maps, but they did not cover the whole world. They only aimed to provide data about some representative areas of the world where the threat to the smaller indigenous languages was most acute. The first edition, published in 1996, under the general editorship of Stephen Wurm, Professor at the Australia National University, listed 600 languages which were considered endangered, with 53 pages of text and 12 maps. The second edition, in 2001, was also edited by Professor Wurm, completed just before he died.

For a mapping of the languages/dialects of Italy and regional varieties of Italian Introduction Unifi ed late, Italy is well-known for its great linguistic diversity. This diversity has been thoroughly covered by linguistic atlases such as the Italian-Swiss Atlas (Jaberg / Jud 1928-1940), the Italian Linguistic Atlas (Bartoli et al. 1995), or the linguistic atlases of the Dolomites (Goebl 2003, 2012), Sicily (Sottile 2018), Calabria (Krefeld 2019) and the Piedmont mountains (Cugno / Cusan 2019), for which projects have undertaken to digitise a portion of the material (Tisato 2010) 1 . In other countries, too, various projects have aimed to make the dialect data collected in the 20th century more widely accessible: in France (Goebl 2002; Oliviéri et al.

Languages spoken in the territory of the Italian State Proposals for a policy of Multilingualism Integral Written by: Dr. R. Bolognesi - linguist University of Groningen (Netherlands) Matteo Incerti - Journalist Introduction: The proposals presented here, we set ourselves the goal to identify, based on technical criteria as possible, minority languages present in the State italiano.Comunque than the problem of the distinction between languages and dialects, it is important to clarify immediately that such a distinction, beyond certain limits, technically impossible, as well as politically presumptuous. Includes in particular the words of Guido Barbina: "Let us pass, because purely academic and sometimes misleading pretext the problem of differentiating between language and dialect, such a distinction would be impossible, there would certainly clarify the issue of proper classification of cases Italian linguistic differences. "In contrast to widespread belief among the uninitiated, when a linguist speaks of the" dialect of the language X Y "is not describing a relationship between two linguistic entities hierarchically connected, but only trying to save the many words that would need to repeat that he is referring to a linguistic system X, which for convenience may indicate varieties socially and / or geographically defined a family of languages can be shown sufficiently homogeneous, more for convenience, as the language of Y. From a strictly technical point of view, in fact, the dialect X can also justifiably be described as language as sufficiently defined and limited, while the Y language should be more appropriately defined as a family of dialects Y.
