“Where Does My Hope Come From?”: P. D. James’s The Children of Men (1992) as a Christian Dystopia in the Context of the Late 20th Century Demographic Crisis by Suzanne Bray

“…James’s The Children of Men (1992) has been compared with other demodystopias like The Handmaid’s Tale (1986) and Zoe Fairburns’ Benefits (1979) and described as a feminist work, it is far more of a Christian fable and contains echoes of Christian writers from Dostoevsky to T.S. …”

Melville’s Obsessional Form: Disjunction and Refusal in “Benito Cereno” by Matthew Scully

“…“Benito Cereno” offers an exemplary text to consider obsession in relation to narrative form. Melville’s tale operates on at least two levels: the first part, a third-person narration that exhausts itself when “Melville’s ultimate dupe” (Ngai 61), Captain Delano, finally realizes there has been a slave revolt on Cereno’s ship, and the second part, transcripts from legal depositions in the court case that makes a sovereign judgment on Babo and the events of the preceding narrative. …”

Producing the Popular: John Monk Foster and the ‘Industrial Romance’ by Michael Sanders

“…Next, it argues that the narrative structure of A Pit-Brow Lassie displays an uneven and, at times, uneasy combination of elements derived from a variety of genres, as well as demonstrating many features of the folk tale. The article traces the ways in which these structural elements reduce the interpretative work required of the novel’s readers and also considers the novel’s defence of popular fiction. …”

Using Animal Retribution Fiction for the Promotion of Environmental Awareness: the Case for a Reinterpretation of Daphne Du Maurier's "The Birds" by Xavier LACHAZETTE

The Incredible Shrinking Man in Paul Auster’s Report from the Interior: The Film and the Myths by Marie GOURRUT

On the Possibility and Plurality of Worlds: from The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to Le Crime étrange de Mr Hyde by Jean-Pierre Naugrette

Le lettere come veicolo di diffusione di modelli culturali by Cristiano Amendola

“… All’interno dell’epistolario di Ceccarella Minutolo, allestito dalla scrittrice tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e l’inizio degli anni Settanta del Quattrocento, si distingue un gruppo di lettere incentrato sul dibattito intorno ad alcune “quistioni d’amore”. A tale gioco letterario, di evidente ispirazione boccaccesca, sono chiamate a partecipare alcune delle figure più illustri dell’epoca: da Alfonso, duca di Calabria, cioè, a don Ferrando de Guevara, conte di Belcastro, da Francesco Acciapaccia, a Giovanni Albino, riuniti nelle pagine della raccolta in una nobile ed elegante consorteria di adepti d’amore. …”

L’infragilimento da idrogeno. Un caso di studio in una barra di comandi di un velivolo dell’aviazione generale. by L. Aiello, M. Colavita, M. Bernabei, V. Di Paolo, M. Amura

“…La degradazione delle caratteristiche meccaniche di un materiale di impiego aeronautico ha pesanti ricadute sulla sicurezza del volo. Tale degradazione si può manifestare sia per l’effetto combinato tra l’ambiente nel quale il velivolo opera e le sollecitazioni cui è sottoposto sia che a causa di anomalie avvenute in fase produttiva che, dopo un periodo di incubazione, manifestano il loro pericoloso effetto: è questo il caso dell’infragilimento da idrogeno che, nel presente articolo che esamina sia i punti critici del processo di produzione che possono indurlo che la morfologia delle superfici di rottura che ad esso si possono ricondurre. …”

Pre-Modern Bosom Serpents and Hippocrates' <i>Epidemiae</i> 5: 86: A Comparative and Contextual Folklore Approach by Davide Ermacora

“…A short Hippocratic passage (Epidemiae 5: 86) might constitute the earliest Western surviving variant of the well-known narrative and experiential theme of snakes or other animals getting into the human body (motif B784, tale-type ATU 285B*). This paper aims: 1) to throw light on this ancient passage through a comparative folkloric analysis and through a philological-contextual study, with reference to modern and contemporary interpretations; and 2) to offer an examination of previous scholarly enquiries on the fantastic intrusion of animals into the human body. …”

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Cystic Fibrosis: Antibiotic Therapy and the Science behind the Magic by Noni E MacDonald

“…Recent research has also shown that antimicrobial therapy in CF may be effective not through eradication of the organism but by decreasing bacterial density and exoproduct production in the lung and thus decreasing inflammatory stimulus; by protecting against the consequences of an overexhuberant host response and in patients with stop mutations, potentially by correcting the gene defect. This tale of misunderstanding of the role and value of antimicrobial therapy in CF care illustrates the importance of ensuring close communiation between clinicians and researchers. …”
