The History of Futurism
Futurism began as an artistic and social movement in early twentieth-century Italy. Until now, much of the scholarship available in English has focused only on a single individual or art form. This volume seeks to present a more complete picture of the movement by exploring the history of the movement, the events leading up to the movement, and the lasting impact it has had as well as the individuals involved in it. The History of Futurism: The Precursors, Protagonists, and Legacies addresses the history and legacy of what is generally seen as the founding avante-garde movement of the twentieth century. Geert Buelens, Harald Hendrix, and Monica Jansen have brought together scholarship from an international team of specialists to explore the Futurism movement as a multidisciplinary movement mixing aesthetics, politics, and science with a particular focus on the literature of the movement.
2022
The first part of the yearbook contains ten essays on Futurist art and literature in Italy, France, Russia, Poland, Portugal and the former colony of Goa. Among other things, early Futurist publishing and propaganda initiatives by means of manifestos, press releases, and newssheets are examined, as well as Athos Casarini's artistic and political work undertaken in Italy and the USA. Articles in the second part deal with the 30th anniversary of the international Academy of Zaum as well as various conferences, exhibitions and publications celebrating the centenary of Zenitism in Serbia and Croatia. Critical responses to exhibitions, conferences and publications as well as a bibliographical section with information on 139 recent book publications on Futurism conclude the yearbook.
«Meretrici sumptuose», sante, venturiere e cortigiane
Disprezzata e derisa, ma idolatrata nella sua funzione sacra, la prostituta attraversa epoche e luoghi della storia lasciando tracce indelebili della sua esistenza. La sua figura emerge con forza in molte opere letterarie e altre declinazioni artistiche, facendo sopravvivere, in una continua metamorfosi, la sua costante presenza nella memoria collettiva. Il presente volume, che raccoglie contributi di studiosi italiani e stranieri, riflette in maniera caleidoscopica e con l’aiuto di esempi scelti il suo ruolo e il modo in cui è stata rappresentata. L’indagine prende anche in considerazione il fenomeno della prostituzione maschile.
Tryptophan, Serotonin, and Melatonin
This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth Meeting of the "International Study Group for Tryptophan Research" (lSTRY), held at the University of Hamburg, Germany, from October 10 to 14, 1998. At this meeting the recent developments in the field of tryptophan research were presented by leading researchers from all over the world in 81 oral and 48 poster contri butions. Research on tryptophan and its derivatives provides an inexhaustible subject. At the conference we tried to compose a multifacetted picture of the recent investiga tions through contributions from the major disciplines involved. Thus, we tried to strike a balance between basic research topics and clinical, nutritional or...
Developments in Tryptophan and Serotonin Metabolism
This volume contains the proceedings of the Tenth International Meeting of the International Study Group for Tryptophan Research (ISTR V), held at the University of Padova, Padova, Italy, from 25-29 June, 2002 under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) in Roma, the University of Padova, the Italian Chemical Society - Division of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, the Veneto Region and the City of Padova. The meeting was organized to cover the recent developments in the field of tryptophan research. Weare very honoured that so many speakers accepted our invitation to give plenary lectures which, with the other communications, demonstrated the high scientific value of the Meeting. The publications in this volume are subdivided into nine main chapters, and cover all the major aspects in immunology, neurobiology, psychiatry, pathology, clinics, metabolism, enzymology, pharmacology, toxicology, melatonin, exercise and analytical chemistry. The volume includes the contributions of 325 scientists from 24 countries, and the Musajo Memorial Lecture delivered by Prof. Osamu Hayaishi during the Opening Ceremony.
Simon Marius and His Research
The margravial court astronomer Simon Marius, was involved in all of the new observations made with the recently invented telescope in the early part of the seventeenth century. He also discovered the Moons of Jupiter in January 1610, but lost the priority dispute with Galileo Galilei, because he missed to publish his findings in a timely manner. The history of astronomy neglected Marius for a long time, finding only the apologists for the Copernican system worthy of attention. In contrast the papers presented on the occasion of the Simon Marius Anniversary Conference 2014, and collected in this volume, demonstrate that it is just this struggle to find the correct astronomical system that makes him particularly interesting. His research into comets, sunspots, the Moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus led him to abandon the Ptolemaic system and adopt the Tychonic one. He could not take the final step to heliocentricity but his rejection was based on empirical arguments of his time. This volume presents a translation of the main work of Marius and shows the current state of historical research on Marius.

Aus Tradition in die Zukunft
„ Aus Tradition in die Zukunft“ – die Überschrift eines Textes, den Christiane Nord seit Jahrzehnten als Beispiel zitiert, ist für Generationen von Studierenden und Lehrenden sprichwörtlich geworden. Der Titel charakterisiert die Forschung zum Übersetzen und Dolmetschen, die mittlerweile auf eine stattliche Geschichte zurückblicken kann und trotzdem – oder gerade deshalb – aus Prinzip stets weiter nach Neuem strebt. Wie ist es heute um die Translationswissenschaft bestellt? Welche Themen werden bearbeitet, welche Thesen verfochten, welche Theorien aufgestellt? Als Hommage an Christiane Nord stellen Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus dem In- und Ausland die aktuellen Perspektiven des Faches vor.
