Abstract

The death of the self passes through modern culture. However, chooses for himself the role of Psychopomp in obeyance not only to stylistic but also to profoundly ethical reasons. Bassani interrupts his narrative writing to give unity to the Romanzo di Ferrara and to entrust poetry with verses in the form of an epitaph. The testimonial "need" seems to emerge, giving meaning through the Prologue to the Giardino dei Finzi-Contini and to what will come after. It seems that the coherent constructive geometry of an entire work (intertwined since the beginning with refined European readings, figurative and Longhiani memories that Anna Dolfi highlights with wise precision) fully reveals the excess of the hourglass shape, of the conical structures that allow to glimpse distant flakes of light, pushing the real on the perilitant discrimination of the shadow. There, where the existing (objects, characters / people) is offered as a painted image alive only thanks to refraction and indirect projection of the gaze. This book investigates the strategies of Bassani's memory and his playing on revelation / concealment, while deeply analysing the compositional paths of the texts in their allocative ways (the very privilege, in poetry, of the dialogic and epistolary form). Moreover, the work strongly questions the places of the distance, the introjection of mourning, the relationship between history and truth, between the code of reality and the effect of reality, the convergences between biography and culture (in the names of Caravaggio, Cézanne, De Staël, Morandi, Bacon; Dante, Manzoni , Tommaseo, Hawthorne, James, Dickinson, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud ...), offering a new and suggestive interpretation of Bassani's "writing beyond the heart".

Abstract

Cell death is critical for embryo development and body growth. Several types of cell death have been discovered. The dysfunction of cell death is responsible for various diseases; however, the mechanism underlying cell death is not fully elucidated. Recent advances in cell death research have led to improved diagnosis, treatment, and clinical management of diverse diseases; however, novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. This book presents the most recent advances in cell death and related diseases.

Abstract

Neurogenerative diseases encompass very different pathologies, which can be demyelinating or nondemyelinating, but which have common mechanisms such as cell death, oxidative stress and inflammation. A better understanding of these mechanisms allows the search for biomarkers and targets for new therapies. This special issue brings together different data on Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, detailing the mechanisms of cell death (necroptosis, ferroptosis), oxidative stress and inflammation but also the possibilities of neuroprotection via 5 research articles and 6 review articles. The different reviews allow us to take stock of cell death, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the context of neurodegenerative diseases but also in relation to other pathologies where these processes are involved.

Abstract

This book incorporates developments in our understanding of cell death mechanisms and highlights recent advances in programmed cell death regulation processes. It provides the reader with the network of pathways targeted by herbal anticancer drugs and discusses the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in cell death mechanisms in addition to highlighting the mechanisms of autophagy and its role in diseases. This book provides valuable material for researchers and for teaching postgraduate students. Emphasis on recent advances and their clinical applications offers insights to researchers that will likely lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract

Long description: Leben und Tod sind unauflöslich miteinander verflochten. Um ein erfülltes Leben zu führen, ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Endlichkeit des Lebens erforderlich. Seit alters her ist daher die Kunst des Lebens mit der Kunst des Sterbens verbunden. In diesem Buch kommen asiatische und europäische Gedanken zu Worte. Sie dienen dazu, unser Verhältnis zum Leben und zum Tod besser zu begreifen. Dadurch entstehen neue Formen des Selbst- und Weltverständnisses. Unsere ähnlichen und unterschiedlichen Perspektiven eröffnen einen Raum der Reflexion und Meditation, in dem Sorge und Wehmut, aber auch Kraft und Zuversicht entstehen. Shoko Suzuki ist Professorin für Philosophie der Erziehung an der Kyoto Universität und Mitglied der Japanischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Christoph Wulf ist Professor für Anthropologie und Erziehung an der Freien Universität Berlin und Vize-Präsident der Deutschen UNESCO-Kommission.
