Redescription of Licnophora chattoni Villeneuve-Brachon, 1939 (Ciliophora, Spirotrichea), associated with Zyzzyzus warreni Calder, 1988 (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa)

Licnophora chattoni, found in association with Zyzzyzus warreni, a tubulariid hydroid epizoic in sponges from Sao Sebastiao (SP, Brazil), is redescribed and illustrated using light and electron microscopy. The ciliate has a flexible, transparent body formed by an oval anterior region linked to the posterior basal disc via a flexible neck region. Numerous cortical granules are observed scattered throughout the body and densely packed along the neck. The adoral zone is formed by about 81 external and 24 infundibular paramembranelles. The paroral membrane, formed by a row of long cilia arranged in monolcinetids, extends through a groove in the body to the adhesive disc. Two dorsal kinetids are present along the right body margin and around the neck. The adhesive disc (18 mu m in diameter) lacks cilia in the area above the velum. The velum covers a row of dikinetids bearing long cilia and four dikineties, two or three of which are interrupted on the ventral surface. Nine to twelve macronuclear nodules connected by isthmuses are distributed in the cytoplasm, plus two nodules located in the adhesive disc and between those there is an ovate micronucleus.

On the taxonomic status of Chactas camposi Mello-Leitao, 1939 (Scorpiones, Chactidae)

The true taxonomic status of the chactid scorpion Chactas camposi Mello-Leitao, 1939 from Ecuador is established based in the recently discovered holotype female, until now considered lost, at the Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro. In base on the analysis of the external morphology, we transfer this species to the genus Teuthraustes Simon, 1878. A detailed redescription and diagnosis according to modern standards are provided. Teuthraustes camposi comb. n. is closely related with Teuthraustes whymperi (Pocock, 1893) from Ecuadorian provinces Pichincha and Cotopaxi.

La política económica, la construcción de vivienda y la producción de la ciudad en España (1939-75)

[ES] La construcción de la ciudad y la edificación de viviendas en España han estado condicionadas, entre otros factores, por las características estructurales y coyunturales del sector de la construcción y por las diferentes políticas económicas desarrolladas. El objetivo de esta aportación se centra en el análisis de la acción política puesta en marcha en España durante el franquismo (1939-75), en la caracterización del sector constructor-promotor y en el estudio de las repercusiones en el crecimiento inmobiliario y de la ciudad, centrándonos de un modo más específico en el caso de Canarias, dadas las peculiaridades que presentan las Islas en el contexto español. Al contrario de lo que suele afirmarse, se defiende que el precipitado proceso de conformación de la ciudad a partir de la década de los sesenta no sólo se debe al desarrollo de un modelo económico desarrollista, sino también a la profunda huella que el periodo autárquico había dejado en la economía y en la sociedad española.

Nos centraremos en el estudio de su organigrama, el sistema de reclutamiento de los colaboradores y los problemas que surgieron en algunos casos y explicaremos el marco legal en el que la Comisaría desarrolló su labor.

Razones para un Exilio Interior. Vicente Aleixandre y la Guerra Civil española

[ES]El poeta Vicente Aleixandre prestó su apoyo durante la Guerra Civil española al bando republicano, hasta que en los primeros meses de 1937 los mismos republicanos lo detuvieron y lo llevaron a la cárcel, aunque antes de las veinticuatro horas fue puesto en libertad. A partir de ese momento –y tras un intento frustrado de salir del país– se retiró de la vida pública y optó por el silencio. Acabada la guerra, mantuvo una distancia crítica con el régimen franquista e hizo cuanto le fue posible por la reconciliación entre las dos Españas.

La psicologia della Gestalt. Ricerche teoriche e sperimentali sulla percezione sonora e musicale (1890-1939)

The aim of the present work is a historical survey on Gestalt trends in psychological research between late 19th and the first half of 20th century with privileged reference to sound and musical perception by means of a reconsideration of experimental and theoretical literature. Ernst Mach and Christian von Ehrenfels gave rise to the debate about Gestaltqualität which notably grew thanks to the ‘Graz School’ (Alexius Meinong, Stephan Witasek, Anton Faist, Vittorio Benussi), where the object theory and the production theory of perception were worked out. Stumpf’s research on Tonpsychologie and Franz Brentano’s tradition of ‘act psychology’ were directly involved in this debate, opposing to Wilhelm Wundt’s conception of the discipline; this clearly came to light in Stumpf’s controversy with Carl Lorenz and Wundt on Tondistanzen. Stumpf’s concept of Verschmelzung and his views about consonance and concordance led him to some disputes with Theodor Lipps and Felix Krueger, lasting more than two decades. Carl Stumpf was responsible for education of a new generation of scholars during his teaching at the Berlin University: his pupils Wolfgang Köhler, Kurt Koffka and Max Wertheimer established the so-called ‘Berlin School’ and promoted the official Gestalt theory since the 1910s. After 1922 until 1938 they gave life and led together with other distinguished scientists the «Psychologische Forschung», a scientific journal in which ‘Gestalt laws’ and many other acoustical studies on different themes (such as sound localization, successive comparison, phonetic phenomena) were exposed. During the 1920s Erich Moritz von Hornbostel gave important contributions towards the definition of an organic Tonsystem in which sound phenomena could find adequate arrangement. Last section of the work contains descriptions of Albert Wellek’s studies, Kurt Huber’s vowel researches and aspects of melody perception, apparent movement and phi-phenomenon in acoustical field. The work contains also some considerations on the relationships among tone psychology, musical psychology, Gestalt psychology, musical aesthetics and musical theory. Finally, the way Gestalt psychology changed earlier interpretations is exemplified by the decisive renewal of perception theory, the abandon of Konstanzannahme, some repercussions on theory of meaning as organization and on feelings in musical experience.

Italia e Francia nell'Ungheria di Trianon (1919-1939): due modelli di penetrazione politico-culturale

Italy and France in Trianon’s Hungary: two political and cultural penetration models During the first post-war, the Danubian Europe was the theatre of an Italian-French diplomatic challenge to gain hegemony in that part of the continent. Because of his geographical position, Hungary had a decisive strategic importance for the ambitions of French and Italian foreign politics. Since in the 1920s culture and propaganda became the fourth dimension of international relations, Rome and Paris developed their diplomatic action in Hungary to affirm not only political and economic influence, but also cultural supremacy. In the 1930, after Hitler’s rise to power, the unstoppable comeback of German political influence in central-eastern Europe determined the progressive decline of Italian and French political and economic positions in Hungary: only the cultural field allowed a survey of Italian-Hungarian and French-Hungarian relations in the contest of a Europe dominated by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Nevertheless, the radical geopolitical changes in second post-war Europe did not compromise Italian and French cultural presence in the new communist Hungary. Although cultural diplomacy is originally motivated by contingent political targets, it doesn’t respect the short time of politics, but it’s the only foreign politics tool that guarantees preservations of bilateral relations in the long run.

“L'arma più forte” La propaganda cinematografica nella guerra civile spagnola (1936-1939) Proposta di sottotitolaggio del documentario anarchico “Los Aguiluchos de la FAI por tierras de Aragón. Reportaje n° 1, Estampas de la revolución antifascista” e del documentario franchista “La liberación de Madrid”

Dal 1936 al 1939 la Spagna dovette fare i conti con gli orrori di una guerra che aveva diviso in due il paese, sia ideologicamente che geograficamente, facendogli vivere una tragedia ancora oggi tangibile nel tessuto sociale e politico della penisola iberica. Questo conflitto, che aveva suscitato l’interesse di molti, raggiunse un livello tale di sperimentazione, sia in campo militare, sia in quello civile, da essere considerato un banco di prova per la seconda guerra mondiale. Il progetto di tesi, attraverso l’analisi e il sottotitolaggio di due documentari, uno anarchico e l’altro franchista, intende presentare una ricerca che ha come focus primario lo studio della propaganda cinematografica durante il periodo della guerra civile spagnola. Il cinema che, proprio negli anni Trenta, si era definitivamente affermato anche grazie all’introduzione del sonoro, fu presto considerato un potente mezzo di comunicazione divenendo un’arma di persuasione della quale, entrambi gli schieramenti con tempistiche diverse, si servirono per indottrinare la popolazione e giustificare la propria azione militare. Il cinema, pertanto, fu messo al servizio della guerra. Nel primo capitolo di questo elaborato verrà presentato il quadro storico di riferimento con la definizione delle cause, dell’evoluzione e delle ideologie in campo durante il conflitto. Il secondo capitolo si concentrerà sull’analisi dei due sistemi di propaganda, quella repubblicana e quella nazionalista, con un’attenzione principale nei confronti della propaganda cinematografica e delle sue diverse espressioni politiche nella penisola iberica. In questo capitolo si farà, inoltre, accenno alla produzione cinematografica internazionale riferita al conflitto spagnolo durante gli anni della guerra e in quelli immediatamente successivi. Infine, nel terzo e ultimo capitolo, si prenderanno in analisi i due documentari sottotitolati (“Los Aguiluchos de la FAI por tierras de Aragón, Reportaje nº1, Estampas de la revolución antifascista” e “La Liberación de Madrid”, con la presentazione dell’analisi tecnica e contenutistica degli stessi. Per concludere, verranno indicate le strategie traduttive impiegate durante la fase di traduzione e riportati esempi concreti ad esse riferite.
