LAW AND MUSIC: THE PICTURES

Dear all, I finally publish some pictures of our last 2 classes on Law and Music, taught by Prof. Giorgio Resta and M° Enrico Maria Polimanti. In one picture (the last one) you can see also Francesco Giammusso, the composer whose music was performed by M° Polimanti. Two pictures were taken by your collegue Elena Forzano.

FINAL EXAM

You will have to answer 2 questions among a list of questions on each topic of the course, starting from the very beginning (prof. Skeel). You have thus to study deeply only two topics (and don't forget the readings!). In addition, you will have to come on one of the following official dates for the oral exam, which will consist in a discussion about the course.

GIORGIO RESTA AND ENRICO MARIA POLIMANTI ON LAW AND MUSIC

Dear all,

on Thursday and Friday (as usual at 10:00 am, room 4), Prof. Giorgio Resta (University of Bari) and Enrico Maria Polimanti (professional pianist) will introduce us to the very special topic of Law and Music, with particular focus on the similarities between legal and musical interpretation.

This special event is open to all people interested, so please promote it!

Don't forget to come on Wednesday at 2:00 for our "repetition".

Suggested readings:
- J. Frank, Words and Music, in 47 "Columbia L. Rev.", 1259 (1947) .
- D. Manderson, Fission and Fusion: From Improvisation to Formalism in Law and Music, in "Critical Studies in Improvisation", 6.1. (2010). http://www.criticalimprov.com/article/viewArticle/1167/1726  


Enrico Maria Polimanti's CV:
Enrico Maria Polimanti was born in Rome in 1969. He studied at the Conservatorio di
Santa Cecilia and at the Royal College of Music in London, and has performed as soloist and
in chamber ensembles for many concert seasons and music festivals, playing a wide range
of traditional repertoire but also works by lesser-known composers such Lodovico Giustini
and Hyacinthe Jadin. He has played programmes dedicated entirely to Mozart, Haydn,
Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Debussy. Several composers have also written works
for him, one of whom is Francesco Giammusso, whose Piano Concerto he performed in Paris with the Orchestre Internationale de la Cité Universitaire.
Mr Polimanti’s recordings for the labels Tactus and Naxos gained recognition by the
critics in Italy and abroad (5 stars The Listerner and Musica) and his performances have been broadcast in Italy (Radio 3, V Canale della Filodiffusione, Radio Vaticana, RAI 3), France, Romania and Austria.
Engaged in the diffusion of musical culture, he regularly gives lectures and lecture- concerts in various schools, associations and universities both in Italy and abroad. Enrico Maria Polimanti has translated into Italian Charles Rosen’s Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas and Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger’s Chopin vu par ses élèves. His essay The Earth has many keys, which analyzes the works of five Italian contemporary composers based on the poetry of Emily Dickinson has been selected for the American Literay Scholarship (Duke University
Press).

His last book, in English, was published in 2009 with the title “Trial by Media as a Legal Problem: A Comparative Analysis”. He edited two books (the last one concerns the New intellectual property rights and the Numerus Clausus Principle) and the Italian translation of Hesselink’s “New European Legal Culture”; he also co-edited with Guido Alpa a casebook on Contracts Interpretation. In 2008 he served as a member of the scientific board of the Legislative Committee for the reform of third book of Italian Civil Code, appointed by the Italian Ministry of Justice; currently he serves as legal counsellor at the Ministry of Justice.

On Law and Archeology

Dear all,
I have a couple of questions to ask you. Try to answer using the knowledge you acquired during the course on Medieval and modern legal history.

1) During Prof. Gadeyne's lectures, we have seen that in the late antiquity we can observe a "privatisation" of public spaces in the city of Rome. This is a very typical phenomenon of the whole Middle Ages, with particular reference to late antiquity/early Middle Ages. I am thinking about the development of the so called "patrocinium" and of the "buccellari". Can you tell me what they were? You will certainly find the answer in Ennio Cortese's "Le grandi linee della storia giuridica medievale".

2) Spolia: In the Middle Ages (starting from late antiquity)  to renew meant to "reuse" the past. This is true not only for great monuments like the Arch of Constantine, but also for legislation. The idea that codes are to be written ex novo is a very modern one. Can you tell me what is the difference between "consolidations" and "codifications" according to Mario Viora? What was the Content of the Theodosian and Justinian Codes? Can you describe the phenomenon of the canon law falsifications of the 9th century? Which was at that time the role of "auctoritas"?

The Arch of Constantine can also be seen as a visual representation of the phenomenon of "vulgarisation" of the law in the eraly Middle Ages. You have seen that the engravings of the period of Constantine where not as refined as the others. The point wasn't that the artists weren't that good anymore, but that their audience  was different and they had to apply a new, simplified language. That is comparable with what happened in the framework of law.

As you can understand, late antiquity was a period of great changes and innovation, a period in which very different cultures, religions, languages came suddenly together: don't think that it meant only decadence! 

JAN GADEYNE ON LAW AND ARCHEOLOGY

Dear all,
prof. Jan Gadeyne (Arcadia University) will introduce us, today and tomorrow, to the world of Law and Archeology.
First lecture: Rome in the 5th century AD: Looking for a new urban identity
Second lecture: Use and reuse in late antiquity Rome: The Arch of Constantine and the Church of Santo Stefano Rotondo

Jan Gadeyne's CV:
Jan Gadeyne has a PhD in Archaeology and Ancient Art History and an M.A. in Classics from the Katholieke  Universiteit Leuven (Louvain, Belgium).  He also studied late antique art and archaeology at the Westfälische Wilhelmsuniversität Münster (Germany). He came to Rome in 1987 with a grant of the Italian government and studied early Christian Archaeology at the Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana. Since 1988 he has been teaching for several American study abroad programs, including Temple University, Cornell University and Trinity College, and periodically lecturing for architecture programs, among them, University of Maryland, University of Miami, Pratt Institute and Yale University. His courses embrace Ancient Roman Art and Architecture, Urban History of Rome in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, Late antique and early Byzantine Art and Architecture, Ancient History of Rome. Since 2005, he is co-director of the excavation of the Roman villa on the Piano della Civita in Artena (40 miles southeast of Rome). The title of his Ph.D. in Archaeology and Ancient Art History is “Function and dysfunction of the City: Rome in the 5^th century AD.” He has published papers on Roman lead seals and Early Christian apse mosaics, preliminary reports on the excavations of the Roman villa at Artena, and (forthcoming) an article on the urban history around the hospice of San Giuliano dei Fiamminghi, near Largo Argentina. He is currently working on the publication of his dissertation.

This week

Dear all,
as I have already told you, this week we will have 2 speakers: Prof. Jan Gadeyne (Arcadia University) will introduce us to the topic of Law and Archeology and Prof. Emanuele Conte, on Friday, will continue his class on Law and History. I will give you other information as soon as possible but remember that you should read the two articles that Prof. Conte suggested before his class.
See you soon
