Il saggio indaga la presenza di codici letterari e pittorici nel Diary di Charles Darwin relative al suo viaggio in Sudamerica a bordo della Beagle; si colloca quindi nel contesto degli studi sul rapporto tra letteratura, arte e scienza che anima il dibattito critico degli ultimi decenni, e in particolare non tanto sui riflessi che le teorie darwiniane hanno avuto in campo letterario , quanto sulle influenze che arte e letteratura hanno avuto su Darwin.

This paper aims to examine the problem of imitation in Luigi Pirandello’s critical and theoretical works (from his first articles, published in the late XIXth century, to the volumes Arte e scienza and L’umorismo, 1908), in order to analyse the role plaid by the author in the wider context of Modernism. On the one hand, it will be illustrated the importance of mimesis for Pirandello’s opinion on contemporary literature, especially with regard to Naturalism and Neoidealism.

La crisi del 1929 diede avvio ad una serie di iniziative, volte a risollevare la sorte della produzione artistica, che culminarono con l’emanazione della legge del 2 per cento del 1949. Il presente contributo indaga il periodo antecedente la legge, quando le operazioni progettuali già erano indirizzate al coinvolgimento di artisti e portarono a risultati molto interessanti di integrazione tra arte e architettura. Il censimento di queste opere d’arte, finalizzato ad una successiva disamina critico-interpretativa, sta avvenendo attraverso un database appositamente strutturato.

A spectator inevitably interprets what they see in a personal manner so as to give objects a speci c meaning. The ability to understand the data and the relationship between the parts and then assign it a value varies from person to person.

The designing of contemporary cultural spaces needs to take into consideration the incessant expansive movement that affects reality due to the multiform and pervasive universe of the web, and the digitalization of social space. The implications of this transformation are numerous and not fully explored because change is underway. In this chapter we explore how social actors inhabit the excesses and the speed this change brings with it, and the actor’s responses in ways of experiencing the trans-media world
