Verità della physis e menzogna sociale: Doktor Glas, un Übermensch fallito? by Viviana Santovito

“…L’articolo prende in esame due testi nietzschiani finora poco messi in relazione con l’opera söderberghiana, Über Wahrheit und Lüge im außermoralischen Sinne e Die fröhliche Wissenschaft, evidenziando gli influssi che il pensiero del filosofo tedesco ha esercitato sulla concezione del Doktor Glas. L’analisi prende le mosse dai concetti di menzogna e conoscenza così come formulati in Über Wahrheit und Lüge im außermoralischen Sinne e dal concetto di “morte di Dio”, identificando in quest’ultimo il crollo della metafisica nel pensiero filosofico europeo a partire dalla rivoluzione copernicana. …”

A novel phylogeny and morphological reconstruction of the PIN genes and first phylogeny of the ACC-oxidases (ACOs) by Ronald Matthew Clouse, Nicola eCarraro

“…ACO genes appear to have diversified mostly since the dicot-monocot split, as most genes cluster into a small number of monocot and dicot clades when the tree is rooted by genes from mosses. Gymnosperm ACOs were recovered as closely related and derived.…”

L’occhio di una connoisseur: il collezionismo secondo Jayne Wrightsman/ A connoisseur's eye: art collecting according to Jayne Wrightsman by Ludovico Baldelli

“…Tuttavia, se molto si conosce della sua collezione e delle sue attività filantropiche, poco o nulla si sa del percorso che l’ha portata a sviluppare delle precise conoscenze in ambito storico-artistico. Prendendo le mosse dallo spoglio dell’inedita corrispondenza che la collezionista scambia con lo storico dell’arte Bernard Berenson tra il 1955 e il 1959, il presente contributo si propone di ricostruire le principali tappe che hanno scandito la formazione storico-artistica di Jayne Wrightsman, in modo da poter conferire tratti più nitidi al percorso che l’ha portata ad affermarsi nel panorama culturale e artistico statunitense.    …”
