    I codici miniati della Cappella Giulia
    (Università della Calabria, 2023-06-12) Nicoletti, Gianmarco; Perrelli, Raffaele; Talamo, Emilia Anna
    A venticinque anni dalla sua pubblicazione, Codices Cantorum1 si rivela ancora oggi uno studio fondamentale per la miniatura romana del XVI secolo. Già nel 1997 il testo apriva agli studiosi del Cinquecento la strada della decorazione del libro a Roma, attraverso i manoscritti della Cappella Sistina; il lavoro di Emilia Talamo se unito a quello sulla Sacrestia Sistina2 e a Liturgia in figura3, cementifica le fondamenta per la storia della miniatura romana del secolo. Prima che questi lavori vedessero la luce, la Roma del Cinquecento doveva apparire come un bellissimo ma ingombrante gioiello ricoperto di polvere, troppo importante per essere messo da parte ma anche troppo difficile da pulire.

    Il libero arbitrio. Un’illusione umana?
    (Università della Calabria, 2023-09-18) Fotia, Francesco; Stancati, Claudia; Perrelli, Raffaele
    An agent who has Free Will is an agent who 1) has full control over her own choices and an agent who 2) can choose at least between two courses of action. The “Free will Problem" arises when we wonder if the laws of the world we live in allow us to be free. If the world works deterministically then, given the past, there is only one possible future. This rules out an agent having real access to choices. If the world works in an indeterministic way, no one can cause an event, then an agent cannot have full control over her own choices.

    La fortuna di Tiresia nella letteratura italiana dalla seconda metà del XX secolo all'inizio del XXI secolo
    (Università della Calabria, 2024-02-08) Borchetta, Sabrina
    La lirica di Giovanna Cristina Vivinetto riassume con brevi, ma significativi tratti, la vicenda mitica di Tiresia, il veggente tebano: il cambiamento di sesso, la preveggenza, la cecità. Tra i tre elementi, quello percepito come dono è il primo, cioè la possibilità di mutare identità, mentre tradizionalmente, come si vedrà, è la seconda vista ad assumere il valore di una regalia compensativa. La lotta fratricida tra spirito e pelle evidenzia icasticamente la fatica e il dolore per giungere alla conquista dell’identità percepita come propria, al di là dello stato ottenuto alla nascita; il ribelle scollarsi dalla carne suscita l’immagine della muta del serpente, animale-totem di Tiresia, perché a causa di esso l’indovino diventa una donna. Alla fine del percorso, l’autrice diventa un’altra Tiresia, attribuendo a sé come al mantis tebano, in via definitiva (e non soltanto per sette anni) il sesso femminile.

    La semantica ambientale nel giornalismo britannico online sulla Brexit in un Corpus-Assisted discourse study
    (Università della Calabria, 2022-12-03) Russo, Valeria; Perrelli, Raffaele; Oggero, Renata
    La Brexit è un evento storico recente le cui conseguenze sono state evidenti sin da subito nella vita quotidiana delle persone, in molti casi costrette a rivedere i propri progetti e il senso di appartenenza al Regno Unito, così come il senso di libertà verso gli spostamenti che lo includevano, ma soprattutto sull’assetto economico del paese, che è mutato in brevissimo tempo. Pressioni e scadenze hanno, infatti, caratterizzato le rimodulazioni delle normative sul settore produttivo, sugli import e gli export, sulla logistica, e sugli standard qualitativi di merci e impianti, che prima rientravano nel grande quadro di regolamentazione dell’Unione Europea.

    Il cinema asiatico come metodo: forme e caratteri del cinema estremorientale
    (Università della Calabria, 2022-06-30) Renda, Pietro; De Gaetano, Roberto; Perrelli, Raffaele
    A distanza di oltre quarant’anni dalla pubblicazione dello studio fondativo e controverso di Burch1, “osservatore lontano” che vedeva nel cinema giapponese l’alternativa al Modo di Rappresentazione Istituzionale incarnato dal modello hollywoodiano, il cinema dell’Estremo Oriente dovrebbe tornare a essere problematizzato, così da non essere inteso unicamente in quanto Altro per eccellenza, atopos, spazio perturbante «che fa tremare il linguaggio» perché «inqualificabile»2. Problematizzare per riconoscere la notevole complessità della produzione di un’area geografica di solito osservata con una certa “circospezione localistica” che porta ad analizzarla senza mai prescindere (fortunatamente) dalla contestualizzazione storico-culturale, a discapito però di un vero e proprio incontro – procrastinato in maniera surrettizia – con le opere. Si ritiene pertanto che tornare a riflettere sul metodo warbughiano – cui si è costantamente guardato nella fase di accostamento delle immagini confluite poi in Appendice –, ponendo l’accento sul cinema e il pensiero estremorientali, possa giovare ai fini di un approccio analitico incentrato sui valori formali del film.

    L'immaginario carcerario nella scrittura di Benvenuto Cellini: analisi della figura dello scrittore-detenuto
    (Università della Calabria, 2023-05-03) Viola, Ilenia; Figorilli, Maria Cristina; Perrelli, Raffaele
    The topic of prison, in all its phenomenology, is developed in Benvenuto Cellini’s lyric poetry and creativity. We can consider the parallelism between the cell and the body, whose essences, both claustrophobic, would be equivalent. By writing from and broadly referring to his detention timespan, Vita and Rime aim to achieve a similar apologetic purpose, which is expressed through thickening of ekphrastic textual places. In addition, an intricate intertextuality can be observed, not reducible to schemes and tangled enough due to contamination between devout hypotext and numerous other textual sources.

    Violenza, politica e civilité tra filosofia e politica
    (Università della Calabria, 2023-06-10) Dodaro, Rita; Cacciatore, Fortunato Maria; Perrelli, Raffaele
    My thesis wants to analyze the different and complex semantic and pragmatic stratifications which build the concept of violence, starting from the polysemy and the ambivalence of the German term Gewalt. For this reason, my fundamental point of reference is Walter Benjamin’s thought: the investigation starts from the “Critique of Violence” (Gewalt). In this analysis, other basic terms of Benjamin's philosophical-political lexicon are relevant: eg. Herrschaft and Macht. These words, together with Gewalt, highlight the concept of state, traditionally referred to that concentration of power able to subdue individuals to itself, in particular those individuals who gave up their rights to receive peace and security in exchange.

    Studenti universitari con disturbo specifico dell'apprendimento: implicazioni cliniche e pratica educativa
    (Università della Calabria, 2023-06-04) Montesano, Lorena; Perrelli, Raffaele; Valenti, Antonella
    Introduction In recent years, with the approval of Law No.170/2010, the number of the university students with Specific Learning Disorders in Italy has considerably increased. Despite this, the percentage of these students in the university population (around 1%) is still significantly lower than expected, especially when compared to the percentage of pupils with SLD in schools of all types and grades (around 5%). Moreover, as the most recent scientific literature show, still a significant number of young adults with SLD drop out at university. Additionally, there is another critical issue: the lack of knowledge about the characteristics of these disorders in adulthood. While a vast scientific literature is available regarding the difficulties of pupils with SLD during primary school, we are still far from an in-depth knowledge of the difficulties that an adult with SLD encounters during his university studies. Objectives On this basis, the present research project focused on the following objectives: to investigate the characteristics of SLD in adulthood, to analyse the difficulties reported by the students with SLD and to identify the barriers and the facilitators, which characterize their university experience. Results The results obtained have highlighted the presence of difficulties in reading, writing and calculating abilities even in adulthood. In this age group, university students with SLD continue to be slower and less accurate in reading and writing compared to adults without SLD and show weak calculation abilities. Additionally, the results demonstrate deficits in the working memory and the processing speed. These deficits are associated with difficulties in the tasks of rapid automatized naming and phonological awareness. Concerning the emotional and motivational aspects, our SLD group did not present high levels of anxiety, low self-esteem or poor resilience compared to controls. We then identified the main barriers and facilitators encountered by students with SLD in the university environment and during distance learning (initiated in the Covid-19 health emergency period), by means of qualitative surveys conducted according to the Student Voice approach. Finally, we included the results of the research period performed at the University of Burgos, Spain, under the supervision of Prof. Sonia Rodríguez Cano, consisting in the standardization of the Vinegrad questionnaire for the Spanish context.

    Equipaggiamento difensivo, armi individuali e tecniche d’assedio in Calabria e in Italia meridionale (sec. XIII-XV)
    (Università della Calabria, 2023-10-05) Di Pietro, Francesco; Perrelli, Raffaele; Salerno, Mariarosaria
    This doctoral dissertation examines the development of defensive equipment, individual weaponry, and siege technologies in Southern Italy—particularly in Calabria—between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, within the broader political and military framework of the Angevin domination. The study aims to reconstruct the material culture of war by integrating documentary, iconographic and archaeological evidence, in a region whose sources are often fragmentary due to the destruction of the Angevin Chancery Registers and the uneven survival of local archival materials. The research adopts a comparative and interdisciplinary methodology. First, it examines the Southern Italian case within the evolution of European military historiography and within the field of scientific hoplology, which has redefined the study of arms and armour over the past decades. Second, it relates documentary terminology—drawn from inventories, fiscal records, and administrative documents of both Neapolitan and Provençal origin—with the visual record preserved in sculptures, manuscript illuminations, funerary monuments, and painted cycles. This dual approach allows for a more accurate assessment of morphological changes in equipment, technological improvements, and the circulation of craftsmen, materials, and stylistic models between Provence, Tuscany, and the Kingdom of Naples. The first part of the thesis outlines the historiographical landscape and addresses methodological issues concerning the study of medieval warfare, including the renewed attention to logistics, recruitment, cavalry, operational practices, and the transformation of armies in the late Middle Ages. The second part focuses on the analysis of military equipment: defensive armour, offensive weapons, equestrian tools, and naval outfitting, highlighting technological developments between the early Angevin conquest and the Durazzesque period. Particular emphasis is placed on projectile weapons and the progressive introduction of gunpowder artillery, whose impact altered both battlefield dynamics and siege warfare. The final section examines the organization, recruitment, and deployment of the armies mobilized by the Neapolitan crown, with special attention to the interplay between feudal obligations, urban and rural levies, professional mercenaries, and Provençal contingents. The study reconstructs tactical and strategic patterns across several reigns—Charles I and II, Robert of Anjou, Joanna I, and Ladislaus—highlighting how military practices shaped territorial control, social structures, and the economic life of communities. The dissertation includes an extensive iconographic appendix and database, offering a comprehensive collection of military representations for medieval Calabria. Through this integrated approach, the work contributes to redefining the role of Southern Italy in the broader history of medieval warfare and in the technological and cultural exchanges that shaped European and Mediterranean military development.

    La responsabilità dell'inconscio a partire dalla psicoanalisi di Jacques Lacan
