«Y nacerá de nuevo esta palabra, tal vez en otro tiempo sin dolores». From Pablo Neruda to Elicura Chihuailaf: paradigms of interculturality.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This research project addresses the comparative study of Chilean indigenism and Mapuche indigenous poetry, with the aim of detecting idiosyncrasies and convergences between two paradigmatic figures within the literary landscape of reference: Pablo Neruda and Elicura Chihuailaf.
The work aims to promote a possible interlocution between two different sociocultural profiles, but ideologically bound in the telluric and pro-indigenous nuances of the respective literary discourses.
From a structural point of view, a cross methodology is used – historical, ethnographic, philological and aesthetic – to interpret the textual and contextual implications, as well as the current reception of the poetics under examination. The research activity will be carried out in situ, in partnership with the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and the Fundación Neruda.

PROJECT TITLE:
The autograph letters of Ferdinand I of Bourbon. Study and publication
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The object of the research is the correspondence of Ferdinand I of Bourbon, monarch of Southern Italy from 1759 to 1825. Of the numerous papers (mostly unpublished autographs) preserved in the State Archives of Naples, publication is expected of a corpus which, excluding diplomatic correspondence, includes letters addressed solely to members of the royal family. These writings, being of a practical nature and having a private destination, constitute a privileged observatory for outlining the eighteenth-century colloquial language, not always aligned with the processes of literary standardization. In particular, these letters may provide evidence that, many decades before the political unification of Italy, educated people used an informal register of Italian for functional reasons in various communicative contexts, such as precisely the letter. More specifically, our correspondence will be able to testify that, in the eighteenth-century linguistic repertoire of Naples, for the purposes of daily communication, from the interference of the literary language with the Neapolitan dialect a diatopic variety of Italian was created, which we will call “Italian regional”.

PROJECT TITLE:
The Cantos Provence: a reasoned catalogue of trobadoric quotes in Ezra Pound’s poetry.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is meant to research, examine and comment on references to Occitan trobadours throughout the production of the American poet Ezra Pound. The work involves the development of a digital repertoire of trobadoric quotes inside The Cantos, by the recovery of excerpts and the study of elements which may be difficult to contextualise within the Author’s poetic production. Working in cooperation with the Ezra Pound Research Centre we will contribute to expanding the computer resources which are available for the study of both trobadours and the American poet at the present time. The main support tools will consist in catalogues and reference works – including the BEdT. Bibliografia elettronica dei trovatori by S. Asperti; the Rialto. Repertorio informatizzato dell’antica letteratura trobadorica e occitana. Trovatori by C. Di Girolamo and the COM. Concordance de l’occitan médiéval by P. Ricketts – along with the huge secondary bibliography.

PROJECT TITLE:
The definitive version of the third book of Philodemus’ De rhetorica: reconstruction, edition, and commentary
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The aim of the project is the virtual reconstruction and critical edition, with a bibliological, palaeographical, and philological commentary, of the definitive version of the third book of Philodemus’ De rhetorica, PHerc. 1426 and its so-called ‘scorze’.
The work involves the review of the fragments attributed to the papyrus, the survey of the Herculaneum collection, the revision of archival documents, and the realisation of a digital maquette. The reading of the text, in comparison with PHerc. 1506, will make use of the most modern technological tools.
The project, which also includes a period of work at the Officina dei Papiri Ercolanesi in the National Library ‘Vittorio Emanuele III’ in Naples, tends towards the full valorisation, through the most modern methods of communication of research results, of an invaluable resource of the Italian Ministry of Culture, as well as the experimentation of innovative technological tools that can both encourage and enhance the digital transition currently underway in the Library.

PROJECT TITLE:
Italian Grammar for Lower Secondary Schools: From Linguistic Research to School Publishing (1963-2023)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The research aims to trace the evolution of grammar textbooks for lower secondary school students between 1963 and 2023. It will attempt to assess the role played by the acquisitions of twentieth-century linguistics in the description and adoption of new grammatical models and to observe the changes in grammar textbooks considering the debate on the teaching of Italian. The fundamental outcome expected at the conclusion of the research is to measure, over a span of sixty years, the actual degree of openness or closure of school publishing towards the results achieved through decades of linguistic debates.

PROJECT TITLE:
Antonio Ranieri. Life and Works of a southern intellectual in italian nineteenth century
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The research intends to reconstruct the biographical and intellectual story of Antonio Ranieri (Napoli, 1806-Portici, 1888). Known above all for the friendship with Leopardi, this figure of nineteenth-century intellectual and politician is however significant for the understanding of the cultural guidelines that crossed Italy between the Kingdom of Naples, tuscan and then national environment. The research will aim to account for Ranieri’s various historiographical, literary and philosophical interests, also giving an account of his activity as an observer of contemporary society and as a politician with responsibility in the new unitary state. The research will examine not only the novel of “Ginevra” (of which there are two modern editions), but will proceed to a comprehensive reconstruction of the activity and historical-literary work of Antonio Ranieri that also considers the publicistic opportunities of political-social orientation. For this purpose, the consultation of the author’s papers kept at the National Library of Naples will be decisive: in this way it will be possible to contribute to the valorisation of a significant part of the Italian book and archival heritage.

PROJECT TITLE:
Si fusca est, nigra vocetur: hate speech and the power of language as a type of violence. An etymological-lexical investigation about dark skin in the literary tradition
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project proposes the lexical and etymological investigation of Latin chromatic adjectives referring to black or dark skin. The etymology and history of the words investigated will contribute to illustrate the power of language to realise forms of violence exclusive to human beings. The research will be conducted through a perspective of historical and applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and semiotics.
The processing of the headwords will take place with the aid of the editorial system of the Lessico Etimologico Italiano (LEI), whose Research Centre experiences innovative technological tools such as classification and indexing of digital documents or elaboration of innovative methodologies for data encoding. These devices can favour and redevelop the digital transition, contributing to the redesigning and simplification of organisational models and to the enhancement of effective communication skills for the public organisation with tools suitable to counteract the hate speech on a cultural, educational and regulatory level.

PROJECT TITLE
Il libro III dei Tristia di Ovidio: saggio introduttivo, traduzione e commento
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project aims to develop a new linguistic and literary commentary on Book III of Tristia, updated primarily from the point of view of analysis of compositional technique and the innovative intersection between elegiac and epistolography, taking into account the great development of studies on Ovid of the last fifty years, compared to the work of Luck (1977). The latter appears to be upgradable through a more specific investigation into Ovid’s use of the literary convention and, primarily, of the topical epistolary, along with some “traces of correspondence” found in the text. The research, in addition to preparing a guide to reading of the work, could offer new insights on the evolution of the “epistula form” in Rome, integrating the idea of Cugusi (1983) according to which the letters in verse are of no interest to the history and evolution of the epistolographic genre.

RESEARCH TOPIC:
The De magnanimitate by G. Pontano: critical edition, italian translation and commentary
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The treatise written by Pontano (1429-1503) focuses on the theory and practice of political power in 15th-century Italy: given the inadequacy of its 1969 edition, which lacks any translation, it is necessary to set a critical text based not only upon the recent outcomes of Middle Latin ecdotics, but also upon a new analysis of the witnesses of the work. The text and the italian translation, moreover, will be provided in a digital version too, in order to make them available online. The commentary will be the result of a new interpretation of the treatise according to the recent theories about political Humanism: as a matter of fact, the De magnanimitate is influenced by the organicistic ideology, that is to say the conceptual basis of the power of the Aragonese monarchy throughout Southern Italy and, above all, the starting point of the modern idea of State.
