El Hijo de El Mosquito. Una revista estudiantil de l’any 1861
A les pàgines del llibret que teniu a les mans hi trobareu articles, anècdotes, poemes, il·lustracions, passatemps..., els continguts diversos d’una revista manuscrita que van crear, fa més de 150 anys, un grup d’estudiants de l’Institut d’Educació Secundària de Barcelona, quan compartia seu amb la Universitat de Barcelona a l’antic convent del Carme. Entre els temes que s’hi tracten, abunden les crítiques als professors i a l’estat ruïnós de l’edifici, així com les crides a favor de l’enderrocament de les restes de les muralles. Aquest volum inclou la col·lecció completa de la revista i, també, l’únic número d’una publicació anterior, El Mosquito Estudiantil, de la qual El Hijo de El Mosquito és la continuació. És, sens dubte, una feliç coincidència el fet que aquesta edició aparegui precisament ara que l’antiga Facultat de Filosofia i Lletres de la UB s’ha convertit en Facultat de Filologia i Comunicació.
Lletres que parlen
Una investigació que revolucionarà els orígens del català. Un viatge pels punts clau que han marcat la creació i l'evolució del català parlat i escrit. Des d'una perspectiva interdisciplinària i un rigor científic màxim, els autors ofereixen una visió general i nova sobre els orígens de la llengua catalana i sobre els més antics testimonis escrits que s'han pogut identificar fins ara. Un recorregut que atribueix una nova datació a les còpies manuscrites, d'algunes de les quals s'identifiquen l'autor i l'origen, cosa no assajada mai fins ara. Es proposa una sola traducció —i no dues— al català del Liber iudicum; una tasca duta a terme sota la direcció del jutge de Barcelona Ponç Bonfill Marc; per tant es dóna una nova data del moment de la traducció. El llibre ofereix una primera llista d'escriptors catalans del període preliterari. Un recorregut emocionant que ens farà replantejar els veritables motius de l'aparició del català escrit. En definitiva, una visió totalment nova, exposada de forma planera, i no sense una fina ironia.
Social Mobility in Medieval Italy (1100-1500)
This volume aims to investigate the complex theme of social mobility in medieval Italy both by comparing Italian research to contemporary international studies in various European contexts, and by analysing a broad range of themes and specific case studies. Medieval social mobility as a European phenomenon, in fact, still awaits a systematic analysis, and has seldom been investigated iuxta propria principia in social, political and economic history. The essays in the book deal with a number of crucial problems: how is social mobility investigated in European and Mediterranean contexts? How did classic mobility channels such as the Church, officialdom, trade, the law, the lordship or diplomacy contribute to shaping the many variables at play in late medieval societies, and to changing – and challenging – inequality? How did movements and changes in social spaces become visible, and what were their markers? What were the dynamics at the heart of the processes of social mobility in the many territorial contexts of the Italian peninsula?
Image Building
This generously illustrated examination of architectural photography from the 1930s to the present shows how the medium has helped shape familiar views of iconic buildings. Photography has both manipulated and bolstered our appreciation of modern architecture. With beautiful photographs of private and public buildings by Julius Shulman, Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, and others, this book examines the central and active role that photography plays in defining and perpetuating the iconic nature of buildings and places. This volume shows how different photographers represent the same building, offers commentaries on the "American dream," and explores changes in commercial archi...
The SAGE Handbook of Architectural Theory
"Offers an intense scholarly experience in its comprehensiveness, its variety of voices and its formal organization... the editors took a risk, experimented and have delivered a much-needed resource that upends the status-quo." - Architectural Histories, journal of the European Architectural History Network "Architectural theory interweaves interdisciplinary understandings with different practices, intentions and ways of knowing. This handbook provides a lucid and comprehensive introduction to this challenging and shifting terrain, and will be of great interest to students, academics and practitioners alike." - Professor Iain Borden, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture "In this collection, a...
Adverbial Subordination
Research on language universals and research on linguistic typology are not antagonistic, but rather complementary approaches to the same fundamental problem: the relationship between the amazing diversity of languages and the profound unity of language. Only if the true extent of typological divergence is recognized can universal laws be formulated. In recent years it has become more and more evident that a broad range of languages of radically different types must be carefully analyzed before general theories are possible. Typological comparison of this kind is now at the centre of linguistic research. The series empirical approaches to language typology presents a platform for contributio...
Integration of Fuzzy Logic and Chaos Theory
The 1960s were perhaps a decade of confusion, when scientists faced d- culties in dealing with imprecise information and complex dynamics. A new set theory and then an in?nite-valued logic of Lot? A. Zadeh were so c- fusing that they were called fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic; a deterministic system found by E. N. Lorenz to have random behaviours was so unusual that it was lately named a chaotic system. Just like irrational and imaginary numbers, negative energy, anti-matter, etc., fuzzy logic and chaos were gr- ually and eventually accepted by many, if not all, scientists and engineers as fundamental concepts, theories, as well as technologies. In particular, fuzzy systems technology has ...
Complex Sentences, Grammaticalization, Typology
New Perspectives on Historical Latin Syntax: Complex Sentences, Grammaticalization, Typology is the fourth in a set of four volumes dealing with the long-term evolution of Latin syntax, roughly from the 4th century BCE up to the 6th century CE. As in the other volumes, the non-technical style and extensive illustration with classical examples makes the content readable and immediately useful to the widest audience.
