  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto

  • Milan Celtic in Origin, Milan Was Acquired by Rome in 197 B.C. an Important Center During the Roman Era (Mediolânum Or Mediola
    1 Milan Celtic in origin, Milan was acquired by Rome in 197 B.C. An important center during the Roman era (Mediolânum or Mediolanium), and after having declined as a medieval village, it began to prosper as an archiepiscopal and consular town between the tenth and eleventh centuries. It led the struggle of the Italian cities against the Emperor Frederick I (Barbarossa) at Legnano (1176), securing Italian independence in the Peace of Constance (1183), but the commune was undermined by social unrest. During the thirteenth century, the Visconti and Della Torre families fought to impose their lordship or signoria. The Viscontis prevailed, and under their dominion Milan then became the Renaissance ducal power that served as a concrete reference for the fairy-like atmosphere of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Meanwhile, Milan’s archbishopric was influential, and Carlo Borromeo (1538-1584) became a leading figure during the counter-Reformation. Having passed through the rule of the Sforzas (Francesco Sforza ruled until the city was captured by Louis XII of France in 1498) and the domination of the Hapsburgs, which ended in 1713 with the war of the Spanish Succession, Milan saw the establishment of Austrian rule. The enlightened rule of both Hapsburg emperors (Maria Theresa and Joseph II) encouraged the flowering of enlightenment culture, which Lombard reformers such as the Verri brothers, Cesare Beccaria, and the entire group of intellectuals active around the journal Il caffè bequeathed to Milan during the Jacobin and romantic periods. In fact, the city which fascinated Stendhal when he visited it in 1800 as a second lieutenant in the Napoleonic army became, between the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, a reference point in the cultural and social field.

  • The Simulacrum Precedes the Truth: Padre Onofrio Branda's Linguistic Counterfeit Jason M Collins Giambattista Vico in His Aptl
    The Simulacrum Precedes the Truth: Padre Onofrio Branda’s Linguistic Counterfeit Jason M Collins Giambattista Vico in his aptly titled Principi di scienza nuova d’intorno alla commune natura delle nazioni, or simply The New Science, presents the axiom “Men of limited ideas take for law what the words expressly say” (Vico 93). Vico’s assessment is not one meant to be a caveat isolated to one event in time. Vico’s work attempts to align facts, erroneous and exaggerated as they may be due to inaccurate or limited resources, so as to fashion not only an original approach to historiography, but also a theory and methodology. He does so by presenting history and its structures as corsi e ricorsi; it is a theory that recognizes history is not the linear history bar on the wall of classrooms marked with pertinent historical dates, undeviating in its appearance as unique events, but rather as a configuration that is cyclical in nature, and therefore with a repetitive schema. Vico’s axiom’s relevance lies in the theory he sets forth that owing to corsi e ricorsi, history (in its recurrent quality with the obvious supposition of man using ostentatiously dubious observations and contestations subjective in nature to fashion consent through misinformation) will repeat as a function of humanity to persistently be examined. This ostensible barrage of falsehoods obtains realization even in the Enlightenment era, clouded with its cliché of adages on truth and knowledge from Immanuel Kant’s Sapere aude1 to Cesare Beccaria’s La massima felicità divisa nel maggior numero.2 Padre Onofrio Branda, a Milanese scholar, educator, and cohort to members of Il Caffè including Beccaria, endeavored to further his own renown by creating a simulacrum fashioned as a Socratic dialogue that addresses the Tuscan language as a primary didactic and social commodity to be diffused.

  • De Là Del Mur Di Delio Tessa Franco Brevini
    LIE15_DEF 09-11-2007 14:56 Pagina 319 L’è el dì di Mort, alegher! De là del mur di Delio Tessa franco brevini 1. Genesi e storia. 1.1. «Una vergogna della critica italiana». Un lettore raffinato come Pietro Paolo Trompeo, non certo sospet- tabile di tendenziosità meneghina, scriveva nel 1950 che se è necessario studiare il greco per leggere Saffo, bisogna imparare il milanese per ca- pire Tessa1. Il lusinghiero apprezzamento dell’illustre francesista roma- no riesce quanto mai caratteristico della critica tessiana: isolati, autore- voli giudizi, provengano essi da Croce o da Pasolini, da Linati o da Men- galdo, da Fortini o da Isella, campeggianti in un panorama di generale indifferenza. Tanto che ancora nel 1978, presentando Tessa nella bene- merita antologia Poeti italiani del Novecento, Mengaldo poteva denun- ciare nel «disinteresse per questo poeta, uno dei più grandi del nostro Novecento senza distinzione di linguaggio, una vergogna della critica ita- liana»2. È noto come nel corso degli anni Sessanta-Settanta si sia consumata la crisi della vecchia storiografia letteraria fondata sulle riviste e sui grup- pi, all’origine del primato accordato alla linea novecentesco-ermetica, dalla «Voce» a Ungaretti. La ripresa di interesse verso Tessa, culminata nella fondamentale edizione critica delle poesie allestita da Dante Isella nell’85, si colloca in quel clima di rinnovamento degli studi. Si rendeva finalmente possibile, come annotava Fortini nel 1977, il recupero di quan- to di espressionistico, plurilinguistico e dialettale si è manifestato negli scorsi sessant’anni3. Eppure, se oggi le poesie di Tessa tornano a essere accessibili, dopo una lunga assenza dalla scena editoriale, se nessuno dubita più del valo- re del poeta milanese, la sua opera stenta ancora a trovare un’adeguata considerazione critica.

  • Alle Origini Della Poesia Dialettale Cremasca. L'esperienza Letteraria Di
    Vittorio Dornetti Alle origini della poesia dialettale cremasca. L’esperienza letteraria di Felice Battaini Masperi La condizione di Battaini Masperi è tipica del poeta dilettante, che risente non della nuova situazione, Masperi semmai riprende il vecchio modello del poeta arcade, dell’accademico, con un occhio al secolo passato (e anche al Seicento), e ignora del tutto i prodromi del Romanticismo. Come poeta è essenzialmente un onesto artigiano che non esprime se stesso, ma espleta semmai una funzione sociale, che è quella, da un lato, di offrire soggetti teatrali alle varie congregazioni religiose e al teatro devoto (seminario, parrocchia), dall’altro adempie alle funzioni sociali di celebrare matrimoni, di esaltare eventi pubblici legati alla vita religiosa di Crema. La prima poesia dialettale cremasca nasce in ritardo rispetto ai tempi, e viene effettuata da un poeta decisamente attardato rispetto allo sviluppo letterario italiano. Si tratta allora di cogliere i nessi tra il poetare in dialetto di Battaini e i precedenti esempi in dialetto del Settecento e anche del Seicento. INSULA FULCHERIA 15 Alla memoria di Aldo Borlenghi, il mio maestro, che mi ha donato tanto delle cose che so, compresi alcuni libri su cui continuo a studiare. L’orizzonte culturale di un poeta di provincia fra ritardi e adeguamenti Nel 1741 venne pubblicata a Milano la raccolta di poesie Lagrime in morte di un gatto, a cui avevano collaborato poeti e scrittori di ogni parte d'Italia1. Artefice della beffarda impresa fu Domenico Balestrieri, appartenente all'Accademia dei Trasformati, che si servì di questo evento fittizio per lanciare uno strale acuminato ad una classe sociale, la nobiltà, che questi poeti ritene- vano la più adatta a “cambiare le cose”, una volta resa consapevole dei suoi doveri.

However, not everyone is aware of Como’s agricultural products and the tradition, history and material culture they express. Thanks to this guidebook, the Provincial Administration of Como aims to propose another way of enjoying a stay here, recommending food and wine itineraries during which to enjoy the area’s cultural and natural offer. It is therefore an invitation to consider Lake Como not as a stopover, but as a tourist destination per se, to be enjoyed and savoured calmly, carefully and with inquisitiveness.

  • Recent Publications on 18Th-Century Materials in Contemporary Library and Manuscript Collections (1985–2016)
    Recent Publications on 18th-Century Materials in Contemporary Library and Manuscript Collections (1985–2016) The following bibliography surveys publications from 1985–2016 concerning materials from the long eighteenth century (1660–1820) held by libraries and archives in Europe and the Americas. It is most inclusive for the years 1989–2014, in consequence of my compiling studies from those years for Section 1—"Printing and Bibliographical Studies"—of The Eighteenth Century: A Current Bibliography. A 2015 revision corrected entries and added 80 percent more entries to the 2008 list, expanding the bibliography from 82 to 152 pages in typescript. In February 2016 I expanded the list to 161 pp., and now in May 2017 expand it to 178 pp. Accounts of particular collections of children's literature and of rare bindings are also noted in my BibSite bibliographies of children's literature and of studies of the book as a physical object. Also, the bibliography on 18th-century book culture posted at BibSite, although focused on where books were in the 18th century, does contain studies indicating where materials are to be found today (some of the same publications appear in both bibliographies). Publications guiding scholars to where books are located (such as the ESTC) or guiding them to information about collections (such as surveys of exhibition catalogues) are placed in this present bibliography. Many research libraries have published periodicals that recorded new acquisitions. The best regular surveys that I have seen were in the Huntington Library Quarterly, Princeton University Library Chronicle, Revue de la BNF, and the Yale University Library Gazette—one wishes the accessions section of the Bodleian Library Record provided such a checklist, but it does carry notes on acquisitions.

Padre Agostino Gemelli and the crusade to rechristianize Italy, 1878–1959: Part one Abstract Padre Agostino Gemelli (1878-1959) was an outstanding figure in Catholic culture and a shrewd operator on many levels in Italy, especially during the Fascist period. Yet he remains little examined or understood. Scholars tend to judge him solely in light of the Fascist regime and mark him as the archetypical clerical fascist. Gemelli founded the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1921, the year before Mussolini came to power, in order to form a new leadership class for a future Catholic state. This religiously motivated political goal was intended to supersede the anticlerical Liberal state established by the unifiers of modern Italy in 1860. After Mussolini signed the Lateran Pacts with the Vatican in 1929, Catholicism became the officialeligion r of Italy and Gemelli’s university, under the patronage of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), became a laboratory for Catholic social policies by means of which the church might bring the Fascist state in line with canon law and papal teachings.
