NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DURABILITY OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS UNDER THERMAL CYCLIC LOADING
Authors: Volkov I.A. , Igumnov L.A. , Kostyukov V.E. , Prilutsky M.Kh.
Published: January 2024

The methodological aspects of assessing the service life of new equipment (elements of gas turbine engines), the operating modes of which lead to non-stationary thermomechanical loads, are considered. The associated thermoviscoplastic processes of deformation and damage states of the degradable continuum are modeled. A model of thermal fatigue in polycrystalline structural alloys for arbitrary complex deformation trajectories is described, consisting of relationships that determine cyclic thermoviscoplastic deformation; evolutionary equations for damage accumulation and strength criteria for damaged material. Kinetic equations take into account the effects of nonlinear damage accumulation, are based on the introduction of a scalar damage parameter, and are based on energy principles. The related formulation of the kinetic equations for damage accumulation under low-cycle fatigue and long-term strength describes the nonlinear nature of damage accumulation. The criterion for the strength of damaged material is the condition that the damage reaches a critical value.
Using the developed original methodological, algorithmic and software that allows for end-to-end numerical modeling of thermal cyclic processes, the problem of assessing the thermal cyclic durability of models of elements and components of gas turbine engines during thermal pulsations has been solved. The results of an analysis of the influence of the angle of inclination of cooling channels in a model of combustion chamber pipes on the thermal cyclic durability are presented. The issues of the influence of complex thermal cyclic deformation, accumulation of fatigue damage, plastic deformations and creep deformations on the thermal fatigue of structural elements are considered. A comparative analysis of numerical results with experimental data was carried out. The efficiency of the model for describing the process of thermal fatigue of materials and structures under multiaxial disproportionate paths of thermal cyclic loading has been confirmed.

Поняття медіадискурсу, соціальної комунікації та інформаційного простору є достатньо розробленими, проте комплексне дослідження медіадискурсу як визначального елементу соціокультурної моделі інформаційного простору малих міст не проводилося. Це дозволило сформулювати основну мету статті – охарактеризувати сутнісні особливості медіадискурсу як визначального елементу соціокультурної моделі інформаційного простору малих міст. Автор виділяє такі основні параметри, що характеризують медіадискурс у зазначених умовах: 1) пріоритетне джерело отримання інформації; 2) ступінь довіри до джерела інформації; 3) емоційна реакція на отриману інформацію; 4) когнітивна реакція на отриману інформацію; 5) ступінь подальшого розповсюдження отриманої інформації; 6) коло залучених людей; 7) якісні показники продукування власного контенту; 8) кількісні показники продукування власного контенту; 9) пріоритетний канал розповсюдження власного контенту; 10) отримання зворотного зв’язку. З урахуванням означених параметрів медіадискурсу було створено опитувальник для жителів малих міст. Було виявлено, що респондентів, які споживають та продукують медіадискурс, умовно можна поділити на три основні групи. Перша група характеризується помірним споживанням інформаційного контенту, помірним продукуванням інформаційного контенту і середнім рівнем реалізації соціокомунікаційних зв’язків. Друга група визначається інтенсивним споживанням інформаційного контенту, інтенсивним продукуванням інформаційного контенту, високим рівнем реалізації соціокомунікаційних зв’язків. Третя група характеризується помірним споживанням інформаційного контенту, низьким продукуванням інформаційного контенту, низьким рівнем реалізації соціокомунікаційних зв’язків. Подальші наукові розвідки у зазначеному напрямку будуть корисними для гуманітарних і суспільних досліджень, у центрі уваги яких знаходяться проблеми масової соціальної комунікації, соціальної лінгвістики та соціальної інформатики.

Published: January 2024

Pada saat membuat permodelan bangunan dan perhitungan quantity, seringkali terjadi perubahan pada gambar yang mengakibatkan perubahan pula pada perhitungan quantity. Perhitungan quantity yang menggunakan metode konvensional masih menggunakan rumus luas atau volume untuk mendapatkan volume pekerjaannya. Volume pekerjaan yang dihitung menggunakan metode konvensional terkadang tidak akurat karena sering menggunakan asumsi dalam perhitungannya. Dalam hal tersebut, dibutuhkan perkembangan teknologi informasi yang saling berintegrasi antara permodelan dan perhitungan quantity. Building Information Modelling (BIM) adalah teknologi yang dapat memodelkan bangunan dan dapat memberikan informasi seperti quantity dari hasil permodelan bangunan tersebut. Metode BIM cukup akurat dalam perhitungan perencanaan dan diharapkan dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan yang ada pada metode konvensional. Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan Bill of Quantity tulangan menggunakan metode konvensional dan metode BIM dimana penulis menggunakan metode analisis dengan bantuan Software Tekla Structures. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, persentase selisih Bill of Quantity menggunakan metode BIM memiliki rata-rata volume 1,95% lebih besar dibandingkan dengan metode konvensional. Selisih yang terjadi dikarenakan adanya kesalahan saat menginput data (human error) dan kurang akurat seperti tidak menghitung radius atau bengkokan pada tulangan.
PENENTUAN BILANGAN REYNOLD DAN FROUDE, REDESIGN ZONA SEDIMENTASI RECTANGULAR DENGAN PLATE SETTLER DAN TUBE SETTLER, WATER TREATMENT PLANT (WTP), KAWASAN INDUSTRI DAN PERUMAHAN “X”, KABUPATEN BEKASI

Sedimentation is the separation between solids and solutions with the force of gravity. To improve the performance and efficiency of sedimentation tanks, it can be done by adding a device, namely pseudo base, plate settler, or tube settler. The purpose of this study is to modify rectangular sedimentation zones with plate settlers and tube settlers in the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and analyze the flow that occurs in the sedimentation zone by examining Reynold numbers (NRE) and Froude numbers (NFR). To achieve this goal, the authors conducted field observations on the sedimentation unit in the Industrial Water Treatment Plant and "X" residential area of Bekasi Regency. The results obtained are the optimal type of tube settler, hexagon cross section tube settler using the height of the tube settler (Htube) 2.5 meters, the slope angle of the tube settler (α) 30°, and the diameter of the tube settler (w) 0.05 meters. Increased discharge from the initial capacity of 170 lps to 510 lps resulted in changes in flow conditions that occur. Changes in flow from turbulent to laminer are indicated by changes in Reynold numbers (NRE) from over 2000 to less than 2000, and Froude (NFR) numbers have met the design criteria of less than 10-5. The investment cost for adding a tube settler is Rp. 760,000,000.00 with a return on investment or a Payback Period (PP) for 8,38 years. The Reynold number (NRE) indicates the type of flow that occurs is laminer, transition, or turbulent. While the Froude number (NFR) indicates the type of flow whether a short flow occurs or not. For field application, the tube settler that can be used is to consider the height aspect of the tube settler (Htube), the slope angle of the tube settler (α), and the diameter of the tube settler (w), and the type of cross section of the tube settler

Imposto Sobre Serviços (ISS) na exportação de serviços de consultoria: implicações práticas
Authors: Bitencourt Yasmin da Silva
Published: January 2024

O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar as implicações práticas da dispensa legal do pagamento do imposto sobre serviços na exportação de serviços de consultoria tendo em vista as indefinições e consequentes divergências na interpretação de conceitos relevantes para o reconhecimento da referida dispensa prevista em lei complementar como hipótese de isenção que preceitua que, caso se verifique que o resultado de determinada prestação de serviço ocorreu no exterior, deve-se aplicar a regra da isenção. Entretanto, tal previsão não se mostra suficiente para garantir que os contribuintes efetivamente usufruam de tal benesse, uma vez que a divergência na interpretação do conceito resultado acarreta cenário de insegurança para os contribuintes, ocasionando discussões administrativas e judiciais que oneram, e muitas vezes inviabilizam a celebração de negócios no país. Deste modo, o presente trabalho buscará demonstrar que a falta de definição clara do que seria o resultado do serviço para fins de isenção do ISS ocasiona esvaziamento da norma isentiva, sendo que a análise da referida isenção deve ser feita de modo casuístico, haja vista ser necessária a correta identificação dos objetivos do tomador do serviço para que então seja possível identificar corretamente o aspecto territorial do resultado, e assim ter respeitado o direito à isenção do contribuinte.

Currently, there have been violations in the implementation of the Specific Time Work Agreement (PKWT) system. The Fixed Term Work Agreement (PKWT) that was implemented was not in accordance with or did not even refer to the PKWT rules regulated in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Employment. There are still many companies that implement PKWT that do not comply with the provisions stipulated in work agreements and the Employment Law, so they require legal certainty and provide protection for all parties. The discussion in this research is: 1. How certain time work agreements are regulated in Indonesia. 2. What is the legal protection for contract workers in fixed-term work agreements in Indonesia.

The Denkbild (‘Thought-Image’) in the Age of Digital Reproduction
Authors: Tschofen Monique
Published: January 2024

This article examines an experimental genre of philosophical writing known as the Denkbild (‘thought-image’) practiced by members of the Frankfurt School to show how it is resurrected in the Augmented Reality installation of the artist-scholar Caitlin Fisher. It argues that Circle (2012) renews the Frankfurt School’s project of reaching to art to find a way for critical theory to bring about ‘a transformation of consciousness that could become a transformation of reality’. However, as a material and virtual artifact that produces a unique circuit of exchange, the digital artwork is able to provide a sharper picture of that reality, positing community as the context and goal of philosophical thinking. Through a complex sculpting of its form, content, and image of its own thoughts, Fisher’s Denkbild strives to create a fluid, ‘disconnected and non-binding’ form capable of building what Adorno described as a ‘shared philosophy from the standpoint of subjective experience’.
Kristjana Gunnars: Essays on Her Works
Authors: Tschofen Monique
Published: January 2024

[Introduction;] "The writings collected here all testify to the complexity of Gunnars's literary vision as much as they testify to the sheer pleasures of reading her work. In her interview, Gunnars speaks both as a reader and a writer, describing the form and modes of address of her work, as well as the philosophical and literary traditions she draws from. The nine essays and two poems that follow, organized chronologically according to the publication dates of the primary texts they treat, represent a broad range of approaches to Kristjana Gunnars's work. The contributers are M. Travis Lane, Judith Owens, Janice Kulyk Keefer, Deidre Lynch, Stephen Scobie, Anne Malena, Siobhan O'Flynn, K.I. Press, and Christl Verduyn. It is my hope that readers will find in this 'critical community' some productive points of entry into Gunnars's corpus that will stimulate their own thinking about her words and ideas."
‘First I must tell about seeing’: (De)monstrations of Visuality and the Dynamics of Metaphor in Carson’s Autobiography of Red
Authors: Tschofen Monique
Published: January 2024

[First para.]: "Anne Carson excavates and resurrects Geryon, the red monster with wings, in her "novel in verse," Autobiography of Red. Her portrait of a monster who makes photographic portraits offers a dense meditation on two related terms—vision and revision—that are key to Carson's implicit, yet consistent theorization of the relationships between language and images."
Post-Colonial Allegory and the Empire of Rape
Authors: Tschofen Monique
Published: January 2024

[First para.]:  "In her article entitled "The Angel of Progress: Pitfalls of the Term 'Post-Colonialism,'" Anne McClintock criticizes the term post-colonical for being "prematurely celebratory and obfuscatory" (298). The binary opposition of colonial/post-colonical, she argues, shifts theory away "from the binary axis of power (colonizer/colonized--itself inadequately nuanced, as in the case of women) to the binary axis of time, an axis even less productive of political nuance" (292). McClintock's article deals primarily with the military and political policies of nations that have been labelled post-colonial to reveal how the term cannot adequately account for the multiplicity of powers and histories that constitute these places. My emphasis here lies more with literature than with government policy, but like McClintock, I am leery of the celebratory tone of much post-colonial theory, and I am similarly interested in the political nuances that are often effaced by post-colonial discourse. How is resistance figured and reconfigured in post-colonial writing and theory, and what forms of power do these figurations disguise? What political nuances attend the intersection of the binaries of colonizer/colonized and male/female in post-colonial writing? How is post-colonial discourse inadequate when dealing with the nuances of feminist issues? These are some of the broad questions I wish to raise in this essay."
Becoming Matter/Becoming Mother: Wilding in Ali Abbasi’s Border (Gräns)
Authors: Tschofen Monique
Published: January 2024

This paper provides an analysis of Ali Abbasi’s film Border through a feminist new materialist approach that centers what I call “wilding”—a process of worlding that challenges binary and rigid structures of thought that dichotomize existence into fixed categories through the cultivation of bewilderment, a state of openness to notknowing which requires the unlearning of anthropocentric epistemologies. Paying attention to the etymological roots of the word “matter” (as body, wood, mother/nourishment, and place), the paper shows how the film displaces the dominion of sight with an emphasis on symbiosis that foregrounds the sense of touch.
Introduction: Vibrant Materialities Across Media, Literature, and Theory
Authors: Tschofen Monique , Fan Lai-Tze
Published: January 2024

[Introduction]: "This special issue of Imaginations: Journal of Cross-Cultural Image Studies takes materiality as the critical touchstone for a new comparative literary and media studies. We ask: How can an examination of the modes of inscription across media, plat-forms, and interfaces draw greater attention to what is often ignored in critical conversations about texts, objects, and bodies; how can such an investigation attend to the vitality of their materiality? Studies of materiality may occur of/in: images, texts, subjects, and objects; philosophical approaches to materiality and interrelationality; cultural considerations of user relationships to media materiality; mediums of scholarship, including critical applications in open-source publishing; critical making and research-creation; and experiences, interactions, and representations of digital spaces. Here, we take materiality to include actants, actors, inscriptions, assemblages, interfaces, objects, bodies, things and the things we think with, as well as their agencies and provocations. The papers reconsider the entanglements between inscription and representation and between inscription and world through theoretical frameworks that show that “matter matters,” using approaches that include code studies, critical making, digital humanities, ecocriticism, feminism, Marxism, media archaeology, new materialism, and phenomenology."
Mobile Subjectivity and Micro-territories
Authors: Burwell Jennifer , Tschofen Monique
Published: January 2024

  

[Introduction]: “The authors in the previous section examined some of the ways in which Egoyan has made representational technologies the central focus of much of his work, analyzing how his characters actively use, adapt, or transform media technology to manage their needs and desires, and considered some of the auratic and redemptive possibilities embedded in these mediations. The authors in this section explore the ways in which Egoyan’s and his family’s experiences of the Armenian diaspora have likewise been a central preoccupation. They argue that Egoyan’s works both overtly and covertly take up the question of what it means to be Armenian and to bear the heritage of what Marie-Aude Baronian calls the “legacies of denial and forgetting” surrounding the Armenian genocide. At the same time, they also consider how working through the complexities of his cultural origins has lead Egoyan to inquire into broader and more universal issues such as the social, political, and historical tensions, contradictions, and paradoxes characterizing the global historical experiences of displacement and deterritorialization.”
Artifice and Artifact: Technology and the Performance of Identity
Authors: Tschofen Monique , Burwell Jennifer
Published: January 2024

  

[Introduction]: “Atom Egoyan has said that the “containers we use to store experience” express as much meaning as the experiences themselves (Egoyan 2002). Indeed, in his highly self-reflexive work, audio and visual media technologies—tape recorders and complex musical structures, along with screens, cameras, mirrors, and other devices—drive both the plot and the characters within it, serving as arenas through which the characters can perform and act out their identities. In all his films and in his work in television, opera, and installation, we can see Egoyan establishing, directing, and recalling to us our relations to the act of viewing, even as he provides a commentary on his own use of these media technologies. What emerges from his particular attentiveness both to the formal qualities of media and to the manner in which this materiality acts on and is acted upon by subjective perceptions is a sustained exploration of a unique interplay of human desires, pathologies, compensations, and even redemptions in and through representational media. Egoyan’s ability to capture and engage the overdetermined ways in which technology “means” has made his work an important part of contemporary debates about the ways technological possibilities are intertwined with historically specific “structures of feeling” (Williams 1974). If his work ignited the attention of scholars like Paul Virilio and others interested in the relationship between media, forms of knowing, and modes of being, this might be because, as Jonathan Romney puts it, Egoyan is a leading contender for being the “most alluringly postmodern” filmmaker (2003, back cover). The authors in this section draw from a wide range of sources to reconsider Egoyan’s approach to technology, showing how his use of technological artifacts reflects and refracts his interest in existential and phenomenological questions as well as his understanding of the epistemological.”
Modes of Perception: Visuality, Culpability, and Innocence
Authors: Tschofen Monique , Burwell Jennifer
Published: January 2024

[Introduction]: “The essays in the previous section address the ways Egoyan’s work has spoken to his own cultural heritage and in particular to the enduring legacies of the Armenian genocide on later generations spread throughout the diaspora. Through this lens, the authors uncover the political and historical dynamics informing Egoyan’s recurring negotiations of identity, his explorations of experiences of dislocation and alienation, and his representations of missing persons. The essays in this section consider more universal qualities of Egoyan’s work, showing how, even as they are deeply rooted in a specific history and politics, Egoyan’s films and installations speak to fundamental human issues. Set in what he describes as “operatic” scenarios, Egoyan’s characters are always driven by powerful needs. The manner in which they strive to bridge the distance between what they have and what they desire constantly interferes with the attainment of whatever or whomever they covet. Egoyan’s characters thus take us to the fine line between power and perversion, innocence and culpability, where thwarted desires turn voyeuristic, fetishistic, and even incestuous. Drawing on the intersections of psychoanalysis, feminism, and film theory, the authors consider typically Egoyanesque tropes such as the substitution of one person for another or for one’s past self, of image for reality, or of the part for the whole, connecting these substitutive gestures to complex ethical and epistemological questions that often implicate the viewer’s own desires.”
“O wretched and ill-fated mother!”: Motherhood in Mary Hays’s The Victim of Prejudice
Authors: Janczer Csikós Dóra
Published: January 2024

By the end of the eighteenth century, motherhood had come to be seen as the ultimate source of female identity. The maternal body was invested with different meanings; it was simultaneously glorified and demonised, depending on whether it was submitted to patriarchal control or not. The cult of motherhood constructed women as naturally submissive and nurturing; any unconventional expressions of maternity were branded as monstrous. The re-assessment of the sanctity of motherhood is one of the key features of Mary Hays’s The Victim of Prejudice. The novel challenges prevailing ideas of domesticity as represented in the idealised mother figure. The lack of the cult(ivation) of motherhood, the reassessment of the trope of the monstrous mother, and the creation of a heroine who defiantly refuses to become a wife and ends up mothering a disruptive text, make Hays one of the formidable rebellious Marys.
“My Own Worst Enemy”: Translating Hamartia in Sixteenth-Century Italy
Authors: Brazeau Bryan
Published: January 2024

This article considers the ways in which Aristotle’s notion of hamartia (ἁμαρτία) in the Poetics—the tragic fault that leads to the protagonist’s downfall—was rendered in sixteenth-century translations and commentaries produced in Italy. While early Latin translations and commentaries initially translated the term as error, mid-Cinquecento literary critics and theorists frequently used a term that implied sin: peccatum/peccato. Was this linguistic choice among sixteenth-century translators indicative of a broader attempt to Christianize the Poetics? While there were significant attempts on the part of translators and commentators to moralize the Poetics, this study of how hamartia was translated suggests that such interpretations were not Counter-Reformation distortions of Aristotle’s Poetics but rather part of a broader program of cultural translation—expressing the linguistic influence of a religious public, but not necessarily a moralizing interpretation—domesticating the Greek philosopher for an early modern Christian audience.
L’assassinat de François de Lorraine (1563) et la polarisation des publics
Authors: Rouget François
Published: January 2024

L’assassinat de François de Guise par Poltrot de Méré, le 24 février 1563, eut un retentissement considérable dans l’opinion publique. Pendant que les protestants se réjouissaient, les catholiques rendirent au défunt un hommage en vers français et latins. Celui-ci fut orchestré par la maison des Guises et prit la forme d’une salve de plaquettes imprimées par le libraire parisien Thomas Richard qui connurent une diffusion en France et hors de ses frontières. C’est ce corpus méconnu de vers manuscrits écrits par les protestants et des plaquettes imprimées publiées par les catholiques que nous analysons, afin d’identifier les motifs, les acteurs et les conséquences de la polémique de 1563. Il s’agira aussi d’observer les mécanismes de cette offensive, notamment par le moyen de l’édition, et de reconstituer les modes de constitution de « publics » (auteurs et lecteurs) que s’efforcent de fédérer les deux partis antagonistes.
Le conflit des publics dans le Dialogue du Manant et du Maheustre (1593) : un dialogue de sourds de la fin des guerres de religion
Authors: Holtz Grégoire
Published: January 2024

L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner les représentations des publics en conflit dans la prolifique littérature pamphlétaire qui a fleuri lors des guerres de religion. En s’inspirant des travaux de Marc Angenot sur la rhétorique polémique, mais aussi de l’analyse des historiens et des critiques littéraires, on s’intéressera plus particulièrement au genre du dialogue tel qu’il est mobilisé dans un pamphlet ligueur, le Dialogue d’entre le Maheustre et le Manant attribué à F. Cromé (1593). Ce texte présente la particularité d’avoir été republié, avec peu de remaniements, par les adversaires de la Ligue, les Politiques, qui reconnaissaient donc la validité de l’argumentation du dialogue. Il s’agira de dégager des modalités spécifiques d’adresse et de présentification des publics visés dans ce texte, de réfléchir aux armes polémiques utilisées pour décrédibiliser l’adversaire, mais aussi de se pencher sur la finalité rhétorique de ce dialogue, révélateur d’une nouvelle relation entre public et conflit, moins argumentative et plus performative.
« Treschevaleureux capitaines » contre « crocheteurs de flascons » : lecteurs et lectorats dans les Fascetieux devitz des Cent nouvelles nouvelles du Seigneur de La Motte Roullant
Authors: Viet Nora
Published: January 2024

Le récit bref de la Renaissance doit en partie son succès à son ubiquité sociale : fables, fabliaux, nouvelles circulaient dans les sphères les plus diverses, de la cour aux cercles humanistes, des milieux bourgeois au clergé. Avec la vogue du recueil de nouvelles dans les années 1540-1550, on voit pourtant s’afficher, dans les péritextes, des figures de lecteurs littérairement et socialement marquées, parfois explicitement opposées entre elles : lecteurs bourgeois et lecteurs de cour, honnêtes dames et gentilshommes, amateurs de nouvelles à l’italienne et lecteurs de contes gaulois. L’article se propose d’analyser ces clivages à partir d’un recueil où ils s’expriment avec un relief particulier : les Fascetieux devitz des Cent nouvelles nouvelles, imprimés à Lyon sous le nom d’auteur de La Motte Roullant (1549). La représentation d’un lectorat différencié et haut en couleur participe ici de l’élection d’un public de nouvelles à la française.
Publics souhaités, publics refusés : les publics comme critères de la valeur de l’oeuvre dans les années 1550
Authors: Bonifay Florence
Published: January 2024

Dans le contexte des tensions poétiques exacerbées des années 1550, les lectorats circonscrits par les auteurs sont manipulés comme arguments pour construire la valeur d’une oeuvre ou lui ôter tout crédit. Les poètes novateurs et leurs adversaires s’emploient ainsi à désigner les publics qu’ils prétendent avoir, à rejeter les publics qu’ils estiment indignes et à se refuser mutuellement des publics de valeur. Ces débats, par écrits interposés, nous donnent des indices pour mieux comprendre les échelles de valeur alors en discussion, non seulement à propos des oeuvres mais aussi des publics. Les pairs, les doctes, les têtes couronnées ou encore les femmes apparaissent ainsi comme des lectorats plus ou moins légitimants selon les différents points de vue des auteurs.
« Des vers hors de rime, et de raison » : réflexions poétiques et définition de soi dans Les Amours de Christofle de Beaujeu
Authors: Pais Ugo
Published: January 2024

Lu par un lectorat restreint composé de critiques et d’amateurs de curiosités littéraires, l’oeuvre de Christofle de Beaujeu a souvent fait l’objet d’un jugement négatif. « Torrentueux » ou « médiocre » sont les adjectifs les plus employés à son endroit. Le recueil des Amours, principal texte de Beaujeu, contient quelques textes introductifs où l’auteur tente de définir le lectorat qu’il attend en mettant en avant ce qu’il considère comme ses atouts tout en essayant de justifier ce qu’il perçoit lui-même comme des obstacles à la compréhension. Le but de cet article est de se demander quels sont ces obstacles et comment la vision que le poète a de son art entre très vite en conflit avec le nouveau goût qui émerge à la fin du XVIe siècle.
Learned Credulity in Gianfrancesco Pico’s Strix
Authors: Stephens Walter
Published: January 2024

In 1522–23, Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola was involved in trials that executed ten accused witches. Soon after the trials, he published Strix, sive de ludificatione daemonum, a meticulous defence of witch-hunting. A humanistic dialogue as heavily dependent on classical literature and philosophy as on Scholastic demonology, Strix is unusually candid about the logic of witch-hunting. A convicted witch among its four interlocutors makes Strix unique among witch-hunting defenses. Moreover, it devotes less attention to maleficia or magical harm than to seemingly peripheral questions about sacraments and the corporeality of demons. It attempts to demonstrate that witches’ interactions with demons happen in reality, not in their imagination, thereby vindicating the truth of Christian demonology and explaining the current surfeit of evils. Strix explicitly reverses Gianfrancesco’s earlier stance on witchcraft in De imaginatione (1501) and supplements the defence of biblical truth he undertook in Examen vanitatis doctrinae gentium (1520).
