Ma recherche de doctorat propose d’examiner en parallèle l’existence possible de “signes de royauté“ présents en Italie méridionale dans les territoires de la Campanie, du Samnium, de la Lucanie (Basilicate) et de la Messapie (Pouilles). Le choix de telles zones d'intérêt est motivé par la présence de groupes indigènes cohabitant avec lesnouvelles réalités grecques, à savoir les colonies de la Grande Grèce. Bien conscient du grand problème historique (par exemple le manque de sources écrites indigènes sur ce thème) et archéologique (quels sont effectivement les signes pour identifier une royauté d’acception grecque et/ou comment les distinguer de ceux liés au monde indigène ? ), le présent sujet s’est formé en partant d’une idée et d’une volonté de Pierre Charlier : analyser et étudier les témoignages archéologiques de ces manifestations de pouvoir qui pouvaient être reconnues comme des signes de royautés, en les plaçant dans un contexte historique précis, riche de sources d’origine grecque mais pauvre du point de vue indigène. Son travail, “La Royauté en Grèce avant Alexandre”, en analysant un contexte social divers sur un arc chronologique ample, a été le point de départ de cette recherche, qui avait pour objectif de compléter ce panorama géographique, en incluant l’Italie du sud et la Grande Grèce. Au cours de l’enquête et sur la base des données recueillies dans les différentes zones géographiques prises en considération, il est apparu que les sources littéraires et autre productions de nature indigène pouvant se référer explicitement une royauté indigène manquent presque totalement et que les uniques attestations d’un point de vue historique sont donc d’origine grecque. / My research aims to examine from the archaeological record organization of power elites indigenous ee of what we might call "signs of royalty" present in Southern Italy in the territories which the Campania, the Sannio, the Lucania (Basilicata ) and essapia (Apulia). Well aware of the great historical problem (for example, the almost total lack of indigenous written sources on the subject) and archaeological (which are actually signs to identify a royalty of meaning Greek and / or how to distinguish them from those rather linked to indigenous world) the This argument has gone thus forming from an idea and the will of Pierre Carlier to analyze and document the archaeological evidence of these manifestations of power that could be recognized as signs of royalty setting them in a specific historical period rich sources of Greek origin but poor in terms of indigenous. His work "The royauté en Grèce avant Alexandre", while analyzing a different social context in a wider span, was the starting point for this research that his intention was to go to complete the geographic landscape also including the south Italy and Magna Grecia. In the remainder of the work, and with the acquisition of the data collected from the various geographical areas considered, we have realized the almost total absence to date of inscriptions, literary sources and whatnot matrix indigenous can refer explicitly to a indigenous royalty, the only statements of fact these elements from a historical point of view, as we shall see, are only of Greek origin.

Background: This paper focuses on nature and role of relationships in small hospitality firm in the Southern Italian context. Based on previous literature relationships in small firms are highly related to trust, common understanding and mutual benefits.     Purpose: Aim of the paper is to explore how the role and nature of external stakeholders’ relationships creates perceived value with small family business by the theoretical framework developed by the authors. Methodology: To answer the research question an empirical research was conducted and data was collected through semi-structured interviews using guidelines inspired by previous studiesThrough a content analysis of data collected and reports from the local government. Participants in the sample consisted of native Italians, living in the Metropolitan city of Naples. Participants were grouped in five categories along with the family firm itself, external stakeholder groups as business partners, competitors, residents and local government representative members. Total of 14 interviews were conducted. The Data was coded using the software Nvivo. Results: The study suggest that relationships in the specific context of Hospitality in Southern Italy is based on personal level and have trust, respect and understanding as the fundamentals. The result also revealed that small family run B&B prefers family over non-family members. Tension and conflicts are then solved through understanding and trust. Conclusion: In brief this research contributes to the family businesses and stakeholder literature in the specific context of Italian hospitality industry. The theoretical framework has been updated by the emerging findings from the qualitative analysis.

Oggetto di questo lavoro di ricerca è l’interrogazione delle modalità attraverso cui il Meridione è stato rappresentato nella stampa illustrata italiana del secondo dopoguerra. La rappresentazione visiva del Sud d’Italia, così come è stata editata nelle pagine delle riviste prese in esame, è stata analizzata a partire dal suo essere esito del lavoro di produzione di un vero e proprio dispositivo concettuale, nel senso foucaultiano e deleuziano, formato dall’insieme di pratiche discorsive – letteratura, scienza, economia, ecc. – che hanno prodotto un insieme di conoscenze sul Mezzogiorno. Il dispositivo viene analizzato in alcuni momenti storici critici della società italiana: il Risorgimento, in cui il Meridione diventa questione, il Fascismo, in cui il Sud d’Italia viene inglobato nelle retoriche di omologazione del regime, fino a giungere al secondo dopoguerra, oggetto principale di questa ricerca, momento storico di transizione e profondo cambiamento. L’analisi si concentra sull’analisi di alcuni corpus fotografici in grado di tener conto della “differenza di sguardi” che visivamente costruito il Meridione: "Italia" è la rivista voluta dalla presidenza del consiglio dei ministri; "Epoca" è una rivista popolare filogovernativa, "Cinema Nuovo" è un mensile di ideologia marxista. / This research examines how Southern Italy has been represented in the Italian press in the decades following the Second World War. The visual representation of Southern Italy has been analyzed as the outcome of a dispositif at work, in a Foucauldian and Deleuzian sense; the dispositif [apparatus] is formed by the various discourses - literature, science, economics - that have produced a wealth of knowledge on the Southern. Most often, this dispositif is analyzed during some critical moment in Italian history: the Risorgimento, when the South became a “question” ("questione meridionale"); the Fascist period, when Southern Italy was incorporated into the rhetoric of homologation of regime propaganda; or the post-war period, a moment of transition and deep change, upon which this research focuses. This project analyzes a photographic corpus from three sources reflecting the "difference of looks" that "visually" built the South: Italia, a government-produced magazine; Epoca, a popular weekly; and Cinema Nuovo, a monthly film magazine offering Marxist perspectives.

The focus of this dissertation is the Franciscan church of Santa Caterina (ca.1385-1391) at Galatina in the Salento, an area of Italy characterised by the presence of Greek language and/or rite communities. Scholars have described it as an emblematically 'Latin' church, decorated with 'Giottesque' frescoes, commissioned by a ruthless and ambitious signore, built with the papacy's approval, donated to the Franciscan order and founded with the aim of providing mass in Latin for those who did not speak Greek. This dissertation argues that that view needs to be considerably nuanced, if only because the relationship between the Graeci and the Latini in late-medieval Salento is much more complex than often acknowledged. I place Santa Caterina in its context, exploring how the frescoes themselves are evidence for transculturation and how the experience of both communities must be re-centred in order to fully understand the creation and reception of the fresco programme. Before doing this, however, this PhD focuses on the history of the foundation by restoring agency to two of the three main patrons: Raimondello del Balzo Orsini (d.1406) and his wife Maria d'Enghien (d.1446). I argue that the foundation of Santa Caterina was the first sign of Raimondello's interest in south-eastern Italy, which would allow him to become the first person outside of the royal family to be crowned Prince of Taranto in 1399. I explore the possibility the church may have been built ad instar of St Catherine's on Mt Sinai, and how this may in turn explain some of its unusual architectural features. This dissertation then takes on the second phase of the church's history, during which Maria, now Queen of Naples, commissioned the extensive mural decoration. I date the fresco decoration ca.1415-23/5, discuss in detail their iconography, reconstruct lost scenes, and present - for the first time - a holistic interpretation of the mural programme.

La tesi si inserisce nell’ambito storiografico degli studi sulla Chiesa e sul cattolicesimo italiano, che ne considerano le vicende non come realtà estranee o periferiche rispetto alla società italiana nel suo complesso. Analizza il rapporto tra episcopato meridionale, Azione Cattolica Italiana e Democrazia Cristiana tra il 1948 ed il 1954, nel contesto di una società impegnata in una profonda trasformazione. La ricerca ricostruisce alcuni elementi specifici della storia del Mezzogiorno, come l’azione dei vescovi - in particolare con il nuovo corso avviato dalla nascita dell’assemblea dei presidenti delle regioni ecclesiastiche (la futura CEI) -, il ruolo dell’Aci e il progressivo radicamento della Dc nel Mezzogiorno. Ne emerge lo spaccato della progressiva presa di coscienza delle resistenze tipiche della società meridionale ai processi di modernizzazione religiosa, politica e sociale da parte di questi tre diversi soggetti e della loro azione convergente, malgrado differenze e contrasti per una profonda trasformazione del Mezzogiorno. / The thesis is part of historiographic studies Catholic Church and the Italian, who consider the story does not really matter or as compared to the outlying Italian society as a whole. Analyze the relationship between episcopate southern, Azione Cattolica Italiana and Democrazia Cristiana between 1948 and 1954, as part of a company engaged in a profound transformation. The research reconstructs some specific elements of the history of the Mezzogiorno, as the action of the bishops - especially with the new course launched by the birth of the Presidents of the regions of the church (the future CEI) -, the role of Aci and the progressive roots of the Dc in the South. It shows the split of the progressive awareness of resistance typical of southern society in the processes of modernization religious, political and social commitment on the part of these three different actors and their action convergent, despite differences and contrasts for a profound transformation of the South.

In the Beneventan region, chant manuscripts and the chants they transmitted served as a documentary ritualization of political and liturgical transition. In the twelfth century, circumstances relegated the Beneventan monastery of San Pietro extra muros, for which the chant manuscript Ben 35 was destined, and its parent monastery San Vincenzo al Volturno, to liminal frontier positions between political and liturgical factions. Newly-composed music such as that found in Ben 35 anchored the alliegances of these monasteries within a fluctuating political and liturgical context at a time when ties to Rome and assertion of local practices were both necessary to assure the continuation of a monastery's influence. Thus Ben 35's unusual features are more easily explained when greater consideration is given to the context of its origin and destination. In particular, the destination of Ben 35 played a very important role in determining the musical styles of the chants that were associated with the feasts of Saint Vincent and Saint Peter, saints whose cults were most closely tied to the location of the manuscript. / text

La version intégrale de cette thèse est disponible uniquement pour consultation individuelle à la Bibliothèque de musique de l’Université de Montréal (http://www.bib.umontreal.ca/MU). / Cette thèse aborde les problématiques épistémologiques et méthodologiques relatives à l’étude esthétique des pratiques vocales traditionnelles du Salento (sud de l’Italie). Les deux premières parties développent une réflexion épistémologique concernant d’une part le statut ontologique de l’expérience esthétique, de l’autre la pertinence d’une étude esthétique sur un terrain ethnomusicologique. La troisième et la quatrième parties exposent la recherche de terrain réalisée auprès de deux groupes socioculturels bien distincts de chanteurs du Salento : celui des paysans et celui des revivalistes. Ces deux univers en plus d’être caractérisés par deux classes d’âge différentes, s’ancrent dans deux réalités socioculturelles et économiques distinctes : d’une part le monde agro-pastoral ayant subsisté au Salento jusqu’aux années 1960 ; de l’autre la société contemporaine résultant des processus de tertiarisation, d’urbanisation et de globalisation mis en œuvre à partir de la deuxième moitié des années 1970. Le propos de cette thèse est d’expliquer en détail le fonctionnement de l’expérience esthétique de chacun des deux groupes de chanteurs vis-à-vis de leur pratique vocale. Il s’agit notamment de développer deux ethnographies différentes sur la base de caractéristiques socioculturelles et musicales propres à chaque contexte générationnel, étudiant toutes sortes de manifestations esthétiques et particulièrement les discours de nos chanteurs. Notre conclusion ouvre le champ de la comparaison des résultats obtenus au sein des deux enquêtes distinctes. Au-delà de la variété des critères, des comportements, des réactions et des facteurs qui caractérisent l’expérience esthétique des deux générations de chanteurs, nous cherchons à envisager la présence éventuelle d’une constante paradigmatique des critères esthétiques, valable aussi bien pour les chanteurs paysans anciens que pour les revivalistes. / This dissertation addresses epistemological and methodological problems related to studying the aesthetics of traditional vocal practices in Salento. In the first two sections of the dissertation, I examine from an epistemological perspective the ontological status of aesthetic experience and the relevance of studying aesthetics in ethnomusicological fieldwork. In the third and fourth sections I present the results of my fieldwork research, conducted with two distinct socio-cultural groups of Salentine singers: traditional singers and revival singers. In addition to coming from two different generations, these two groups of singers are also rooted in two distinct socio-cultural and economic milieux: in one case, the agro-pastoral world that subsisted in Salento until the 1960s; in the other case, contemporary society, which since the second half of the 1970s has been marked by urbanization, globalization, and the shift to a service economy. This dissertation explains in detail how each of the two groups of singers experience aesthetics. I develop two different investigations based on the socio-cultural and musical characteristics peculiar to each generational context, studying various kinds of aesthetic expressions and especially the singers’ discourse. In the conclusion I compare the results of the investigations I carried out with the two groups. Besides considering the variety of criteria, behaviors, reactions, and other factors that characterize the aesthetic experience of these two generations of singers, I propose that there exists a single, constant paradigm of aesthetic criteria that is valid for both traditional singers and for revival singers.

Das Forschungsinteresse der Arbeit zielt auf die Funktion und Bedeutung familialer Beziehungen in einem Mehrgenerationennetzwerk aus Sicht verschiedener Akteure und in verschiedenen kulturellen Kontexten. Die Rekonstruktion familialer Generationenbeziehungen zwischen erwachsenen Kindern und ihren Eltern erfolgt im Rahmen eines spezifischen Lebenslaufereignisses: dem doppelten generationalen Übergang in die (Groß-)Elternschaft. Dieses familiale Übergangsereignis bringt ein Aufrücken der einzelnen Familienmitglieder im Generationengefüge und eine Pluralisierung individueller Generationenzugehörigkeiten mit sich und führt so zu verstärkten (inter-)subjektiven Aushandlungsprozessen und einer Neubestimmung von familialen Rollen. Gleichzeitig ist die Arbeit als ein Kulturvergleich zwischen ostdeutschen und süditalienischen Familien angelegt. Damit wird die Absicht verfolgt, die Funktion und Bedeutung intergenerationaler Familienbeziehungen in unterschiedlichen geschlechterkulturellen Kontexten zu untersuchen. Es handelt sich um eine qualitative Untersuchung, in deren Rahmen insgesamt 19 leitfadengestützte teilnarrative Interviews mit Müttern und Vätern eines Kindes bis max. 3 Jahre und den dazugehörigen Großmüttern durchgeführt wurden. Jeweils drei der untersuchten Familienkonstellationen stammen aus Dresden und Neapel. Aus dem empirischen Material wurde ein vierstufiges Phasenmodell des Übergangsprozesses entwickelt, welches diesen als einen Prozess der geschlechterspezifischen Elternrollendifferenzierung auf der Paarebene konzipiert. Zentral sind dabei die beiden komplementären Konzepte der natürlichen Mütterlichkeit und der fragilen Väterlichkeit. In Analogie dazu wurden für die Beziehungen der neuen Eltern zu den jeweiligen Herkunftsfamilien die komplementären Konzepte der natürlichen Matrilateralität und der fragilen Patrilateralität entwickelt, welche das Muster einer latenten intergenerationalen Asymmetrie zum Ausdruck bringen. Der Übergang in die Elternschaft wird somit als ein familiales Übergangsereignis beschrieben, welches maßgeblich zur Reproduktion einer weiblichen bzw. matrilinearen Dominanz im familialen Bereich beiträgt. Dieses Muster findet sich sowohl bei den deutschen als auch bei den italienischen Familien und kann somit in gewissem Sinne als kulturübergreifend angesehen werden. Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Untersuchungsgruppen zeigen sich hingegen mit Blick auf grundlegende Wertorientierungen, die der alltäglichen Lebenspraxis und den familialen Beziehungen zugrunde liegen. So sind die Familienbeziehungen deutscher Interviewpartner(innen) stärker durch Vorstellungen von Unabhängigkeit und Autonomiestreben (independence) charakterisiert. Italienische Interviewpartner(innen) hingegen brachten stärker am Prinzip der wechselseitigen Abhängigkeit und Verbundenheit (interdependence) orientierte Vorstellungen und Einstellungen zum Familienleben zum Ausdruck.

This thesis deals with ancient string and percussion instruments with additional focus on a hydraulic organ, an instrument that is difficult to categorize. The first part of the thesis is a follow-up to the bachelor thesis Wind Instruments of Ancient Greece and Rome, which is devoted to wind instruments, and deals with the classification, description and evolution of the instruments of the other two instrumental groups. This is illustrated on the background of literary, archaeological and iconographic sources, especially on the vase painting. Vase painting well demonstrates the shape, evolution and regional occurrence of these instruments. In the second part of this thesis the Attic and southern Italy vase paintings will be used to compare musical culture in both of these areas. In Attic music scenes the chronological evolution of depicted instruments is examined, while in southern Italian scenes we will concentrate on the differences of depicted instruments in the regions of Campania, Lucania, Sicily, Paestum and Apulia. Finally, the Attic musical instruments are compared with the instruments of southern Italy. The results of the analyses will be entered into graphs. Keywords: ancient music, strings instruments, percussion instruments, Greece, Southern Italy, Campania, Lucania, Apulia, Sicily,...

This diploma thesis will focus on the Griko dialect, which is still spoken in some areas of Apulia and which is characterized by its ambiguity between the Greek and Italian language. It thus bears the remnants of Greek culture in southern Italy. The diploma thesis will consist of a theoretical and practical part: In the first part, the cultural-historical reality that defines the dialect will be described. This will be followed by a practical analysis of selected texts, their subsequent description and analysis by a comparative method. Lastly, the work will deal with the current socio-cultural situation of the dialect and its use. Key words: griko, Southern Italy, Salento, Apulia, Greece, language, dialect, culture, text analysis, national traditions, identity, Greek, Italian, prestige, origin
