From the Paper to the Stage: a New Life for Novels? The Adaptation of Bestsellers in Contemporary China
Creators: name: Leonesi, Barbara
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2019

description: This paper studies the evermore widespread phenomenon of the adaptation of novels for the stage, focusing on prizewinning contemporary Chinese novels. The first part provides the theoretical approach that is adopted in the second part, where two cases studies are discussed, i.e the stage adaptation of the novel Song of Everlasting Sorrow by Wang Anyi and of the novel To Live by Yu Hua. Starting from the perspective of “horizontal relations” among texts (Hutcheon 2013), the analysis of the adaptation process takes its distance from the fidelity/infidelity discourse, in order to investigate the network of echoing versions (trans-media, trans-language, etc) it is able to produce. This network is much more interesting to explore than supposed vertical hierarchies. Nevertheless, not every version is a text able to live independently from its source: the analysis shows that today's phenomenon of trans-media adaptation is fostered by a cultural industry that aims at exploiting all profits from a best-selling prizewinning novel. The role played by this industry in the adaptation process needs to be fully considered.

description: We study the evolution of gravitational waves for non-singular cosmological solutions within the framework of Born-Infeld inspired gravity theories, with special emphasis on the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld theory. We review the existence of two types of non-singular cosmologies, namely bouncing and asymptotically Minkowski solutions, from a perspective that makes their features more apparent. We study in detail the propagation of gravitational waves near these non-singular solutions and carefully discuss the origin and severity of the instabilities and strong coupling problems that appear. We also investigate the role of the adiabatic sound speed of the matter sector in the regularisation of the gravitational waves evolution. We extend our analysis to more general Born-Infeld inspired theories where analogous solutions are found. As a general conclusion, we obtain that the bouncing solutions are generally more prone to instabilities, while the asymptotically Minkowski solutions can be rendered stable, making them appealing models for the early universe.

Social contagions with communication channels alternation on multiplex networks

description: Internet communication channels, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and email, are multiplex networks that facilitate interaction and information-sharing among individuals. During brief time periods users often use a single communication channel, but then communication channel alteration (CCA) occurs. This means that we must refine our understanding of the dynamics of social contagions. We propose a non-Markovian behavior spreading model in multiplex networks that takes into account the CCA mechanism, and we develop a generalized edge-based compartmental method to describe the spreading dynamics. Through extensive numerical simulations and theoretical analyses we find that the time delays induced by CCA slow the behavior spreading but do not affect the final adoption size. We also find that the CCA suppresses behavior spreading. On two coupled random regular networks, the adoption size exhibits hybrid growth, i.e., it grows first continuously and then discontinuously with the information transmission probability. CCA in ER-SF multiplex networks in which two subnetworks are Erdős-Rényi (ER) and scale-free (SF) introduces a crossover from continuous to hybrid growth in adoption size versus information transmission probability. Our results extend our understanding of the role of CCA in spreading dynamics, and may elicit further research.

A Sureth Version of the East-Syriac Dialogue Poem of Mary and the Gardener
Creators: name: Mengozzi, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2019

description: In the present paper, a Sureth version is published of the dialogue poem of Mary and the Gardener. As a first attempt to reconstruct the history of this text, the poetic version in the vernacular is compared with five manuscript witnesses of the Classical Syriac original. The poem is presented as part of an intertextual web of Classical Syriac hymns for Easter and Pentecost that are preserved in late liturgical collections and appear to be narrative and rhetorical expansions of John 20:11-17. Formal and thematic parallels to the poem are then found in the broader framework of Christian and Jewish hymnography written in varieties of Late Aramaic.

description: A new asymmetric azido-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex with formula [L(N3)Cu(μN,N-N3)]2, L = N,N-dimethyl-N’-benzyl-ethylenediamine, has been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. Single crystal structural analysis reveals the Cu(II) ions are linked by two end-on azido nitrogen atoms. The copper(II) ions adopt s penta-coordinated geometry that is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal (τ=0.528). Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data were collected and fitted to the appropriate equations derived from the Hamiltonian H=-JS1S2 that show antiferromagnetic intradimer interactions with J = -1.0 cm−1 through the end-on azido bridges between the metal centers. To rationalize the magnetic behavior, a DFT calculation has been performed within the broken symmetry framework. The analyses of the magnetic orbital interaction and spin distribution indicate the nature of the magnetic properties of the complex. The complex is solvatochromic and its solvatochromism was investigated by visible spectroscopy. To explore the mechanism of interaction between the solvent molecules and the complex, different solvent parameters were utilized and analyzed by a statistical method using the multiple linear regression (MLR) method. It was found that the hydrogen bond donation (β) and polarity/polarizability (π*) parameters of the solvents lead to the solvatochromism property.
Long gamma ray burst rate in the binary merger progenitor model

description: The long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) may arise from the core collapse of massive stars. However, the long GRB rate does not follow the star formation rate (SFR) at high redshifts. In this Letter, we focus on the binary merger model and consider the high spin helium stars after the merger as the progenitor of long GRBs. With this scenario, we estimate the GRB rate by the population synthesis method with the metallicity evolution. Low metallicity binaries are easier to become long GRB progenitors than those for solar metallicity due to the weak wind mass loss and the difference in the stellar evolution. In our results, the long GRB rate roughly agrees with the observed rate, and shows a similar behavior to the observed redshift evolution.

The Long-Lasting Influence of Ideological Prejudices: The Case of Ye Lingfeng (1905-1975), a Misunderstood Writer and Intellectual in Modern China
Creators: name: Stafutti, Stefania
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2019

description: Through the works and some biographical issues of Ye Lingfeng (1905-1975), one of the writers of the so-called Shanghai School (haipai, 海派), this paper aims to offer some hints of the multi-folded bunch of prejudices which the history of modern Chinese literature is intertwined with. To reach this goal, the following issues will be taken into consideration: 1. an analysis of Ye Lingfeng’s early production, before his moving from mainland China to Hongkong – with particular reference to The Dream of a Virgin Chunüde meng, (处女的梦, Chunüde meng), in comparison with Ding Ling (丁玲) Miss Sophia’s Diary (Shafei nüshi de rij, 莎菲女士的日记); to which a much bigger success arose; 2. a general description of the complicated issues which led inflicting on him the very unfair label of being a “traitor”, moving from his clash with Lu Xun in the late The twenties and early Thirties to his “collaboration” with the Nationalist Party during the first period of his staying in Hong Kong; 3. an overview of his literary works in order to highlight his way to connect traditional and modern literary tradition, which – if prejudices were not working - could provide some suggestions to the core issue of the relationship between “classic” (feudal?) literature and the literature of New China.

description: This short work (bearing the title: “Rāma!” [She] constantly repeats two syllables. A very short Kalyāṇa elucidation of one among Śiva’s hymns in the Uttarakāṇḍa of the Rāmacaritamānasa) consists in an extremely concise as well as newly composed Sanskrit commentary on a Śiva’s hymn chanted to Rāma, once he was back to Ayodhyā at the end of the war against Rāvaṇa. These ten avadhī-verses hosted in the Uttarakāṇḍa (7.13.1-10) of Tulasī Dāsa’s Rāmacaritamānasa extol Rāma as the Supreme Being, the ultimate reservoir of all devotions, thoughts and acts.

description: The article examines the state of presence/absence of women in the Bible and in the Talmud, highlighting the importance of education as a tool to gain a position in society and in their own community, but also as an instrument against the power that tends to create submission at home and in the public sphere. The analysis of some female figures (Ester the scribe, Beruria the scholar, the pious daughters of Zelofcad), offers an insight into the narration of Jewish history and constitutes a reference model for the reading of current situation of the woman in the Jewish Orthodox world, particularly in Israel.

Its 1:1 metal complexes having the general formula [MLX2], where M = Zn, Cd, Hg, and X = Cl, have been prepared. Ligand L and its complexes 1–3 are characterized on the basis of physico-chemical and spectral (FT-IR, ESI Mass, 1H, 13C, DEPT 135° 13C {1H}, and 77Se{1H} NMR) studies. IR spectroscopy revealed that L is coordinated solely through selenium and nitrogen to zinc, cadmium, and mercury ions forming a six-membered chelate ring around M(II) ions. Elemental analysis measurements along with 1H, 13C, DEPT 135° 13C {1H}, and ESI-mass data also confirm the bidentate coordination mode of the ligand. Moreover, the coordination from selenium atom is also supported by the downfield shift of signal in 77Se{1H} NMR spectroscopy. Using DFT-based optimization of structures, the HOMO-LUMO energy gaps and molecular electrostatic potential surface of ligand L and complexes 1–3 were theoretically calculated at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. Ligand L and complexes 1–3 display significant antibacterial and antifungal activity.

description: We adopt the tight-binding mode-matching method to study the strain effect on silicene heterojunctions. It is found that valley- and spin-dependent separation of electrons cannot be achieved by the electric field only. When a strain and an electric field are simultaneously applied to the central scattering region, not only are the electrons of valleys K and K' separated into two distinct transmission lobes in opposite transverse directions, but the up-spin and down-spin electrons will also move in the two opposite transverse directions. Therefore, one can realize an effective modulation of valley- and spin-dependent transport by changing the amplitude and the stretch direction of the strain. The phenomenon of the strain-induced valley and spin deflection can be exploited for silicene-based valleytronics devices.

description: In this article we study the validity of the Whitney $C^1$ extension property for horizontal curves in sub-Riemannian manifolds endowed with 1-jets that satisfy a first-order Taylor expansion compatibility condition. We first consider the equiregular case, where we show that the extension property holds true whenever a suitable non-singularity property holds for the input-output maps on the Carnot groups obtained by nilpotent approximation. We then discuss the case of sub-Riemannian manifolds with singular points and we show that all step-2 manifolds satisfy the $C^1$ extension property. We conclude by showing that the $C^1$ extension property implies a Lusin-like approximation theorem for horizontal curves on sub-Riemannian manifolds.
More than just warriors: Mythical and archetypal images of the hero in Swahili literature
Creators: name: Acquaviva, Graziella
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2019

description: Since ancient time until today, the image of the hero has influenced literary works universally. The “hero” becomes mythical only after his death, and through forms of remembrance that can be realized in other literary productions in which his figure is re-create and transmitted through fictitious characters. The central focus of my paper is to examine, within archetypal theories on myth and “hero”, the great figures of two Swahili warriors, namelyLiongo Fumo, one of the greatest warrior-hero figures of the Swahili oral tradition, and the chief Mkwawa of the Hehe people, who fought against the German rule in the former Tanganyka, whose deeds have been reinvented and described in modern written literature. Both Liongo Fumo and Mkwawa have acquired the status of mythical warriors, and as other East African heroes, they inspired poets and writers becoming symbols of bravery and national consciousness to which the historical and cultural memory of old and new generations refer. Despite the importance given to the figure of the two great heroes, part of my work has been dedicated to the presentation of those who can be defined as ‘minor heroes’, who nevertheless represent a way of generational change to look at literature as to a bridge that combines tradition and modernity through historical and mythical memory.

description: A widely used oxidizing agent in organic chemistry with an assumed structure of “[Ag(py)2]MnO4” and its perchlorate and perrhenate analogues are studied. Their synthesis in pure form is challenging. In order to clarify the chemical nature of the known compounds and find routes to new derivatives, a systematic study is presented for the synthesis of [Ag(py)n]XO4 (X = Mn, Cl, and Re, n = 2–4) complexes. Ten complexes including four new derivatives, [Ag(py)4]MnO4, [Ag(py)4]MnO4·4[Ag(py)2]MnO4, [Ag(py)2]ClO4·0.5 py, and [Ag(py)2]ReO4, are synthesized and characterized. The chemical identity of “Ag(py)2MnO4” is also clarified. A novel route to prepare [Ag(py)2]MnO4 is developed. The reaction of AgXO4 salts with neat pyridine followed by various crystallization techniques is used to prepare [Ag(py)2]XO4, [Ag(py)4]XO4, [Ag(py)4]XO4·4[Ag(py)2]XO4, and [Ag(py)2]XO4·0.5py (X = Cl, Mn) complexes. The solid phase structure of [Ag(py)2]MnO4·0.5py is determined (a = 19.410 Å, b = 7.788 Å, c = 21.177 Å, β = 104.20°, C2/c (15), Z = 4 (3a)). [Ag(py)2]+ cations in the crystal form dimeric units where silver ions are connected by oxygen atoms of two MnO4
– anions. The Ag…Ag distance is indicative of argentophilic interactions. The pyridine ring π…π interactions contribute to the stability of the crystal lattice.

description: Two copper(II) coordination complexes, formulated as [Cu(tmen)(Clba)2] (1) and [Cu(tmen)(Hsal)2·H2O] (2) (where tmen = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl ethylenediamine (C6H16N2), Clba1− = 2-chlorobenzoate (C7H4ClO2
1−), and Hsal1− (C7H5O3
1− = monoanion of o-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid)), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental combustion analysis, spectroscopic techniques, thermal studies, and single crystal X-ray analyses. Complex 1 consists of two distinct monomeric units in which the coordination environment around the central copper(II) ion is a distorted octahedron with a CuN2O4 chromophore, constituted by a chelating tmen molecule, and two 2-chlorobenzoate1− anions coordinated through their carboxylate-O atoms in an asymmetrical bidentate fashion. Complex 2 is also a monomer and consists of an CuN2O3 chromophore, in which tmen is coordinated to Cu(II) through its two N atoms in a chelating bidentate fashion, and an aqua-O and the two o-hydroxybenzoate1− (HSal1−) anions are coordinated through one of their carboxylate-O atoms in a monodentate mode, forming a square pyramidal structure. Hydrogen bonding interactions especially of O–H…O, N–H…O, and C–H…Cl types interweave monomeric units and stabilize the overall crystal structures in both complexes. Thermal analysis and antibacterial activities of 1 and 2 against various bacterial strains were also investigated.

Living is Writing: Metaphors of representation in Hanif Kureishi’s The Last Word
Creators: name: Adami, Esterino
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2019

description: Hanif Kureishi’s The Last Word (2014) is a fictional work that depicts the effort of a young journalist from London, Harry, to write the biography of a very famous author of Indian origin, Mamoon, who now lives in the quiet English countryside. Starting from the very beginning, with its symbolic title, the novel is built upon a metatextual framework as it discusses the power of words and narratives in a literary context. In particular, the thematic coordinates of the text incessantly creates intersections between the conceptual domain of writing, which includes its peripheral subdomains such as researching, remembering, but also the manipulation and revision of facts and stories. The overall effect is to hybridise the fields of narrative, (fictional) biography and authorship, and deliberately challenge the reader in the construction of meaning and the attribution of reliability to characters. Therefore, the governing megametaphor living is writing and its possible micro-articulations emerge as a network of rhetorical devices of representation and conceptualisation of life experience through the practice of writing and communicating. This paper intends to investigate the range of these metaphorical renditions in the novel, and their power to symbolically encapsulate lives in words (Mamoon’s life recorded and/or reinvented through words). The central argument is that such structures superficially serve to mirror reality and experience, blending the macro-concepts of writing and living, but in reality they are also endowed with the possibility to set off a sequence of ambiguities, given their ideological potential (i.e. biography writing as a process of adjustment and interpretation of facts in spite of claims of faithfulness). As readers are asked to apply a kind of “double vision” (Gavins 2007) to the text, various text worlds are generated, bringing to light the language continuum connecting the coterminous spaces of fiction and non-fiction and the key role of metaphor as a tool to approach the self and the other, and human existence at large. The purpose of this article is twofold, namely a) to take into account various metaphoric expressions originating from the central megametaphor in select extracts from the novel and b) to provide a preliminary examination of their ideological effects. Methodologically I follow an interdisciplinary frame that draws from stylistics, postcolonial discourse, biography studies and literary studies (Adami 2006; Ashcroft 2009; Bradford 1997; Browse 2016; Douthwaite 2000; Kövecses 2000, 2002; Stockwell 2009; Sorlin 2014).

The Republic of China and a new opportunity: Mahatma Gandhi’s revolution through non-violence
Creators: name: De Togni, Monica
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies

description: The history of how the nonviolent proposal of Mahatma Gandhi resonates with Chinese intellectuals is a history of variability. In the late Forties, it seems appealing to some Chinese politicians who actually apply non-cooperative means, whereas during the Twenties, even if it is not at all a dominant idea, it resonates well with some Chinese intellectuals. However, during the Thirties, after Gandhi refused to compromise with Stalin, and while the Marxist proposal disseminated worldwide, the nonviolent leanings were paling. In Hu Yuzhi we find an example of this track toward nonviolence: he was a strong supporter during the Twenties, becoming an opponent in the Thirties. Copious are the difficulties in combining other political proposal with Gandhism, itself a comprehensive proposal, and not just a political one. Some perceived Gandhism as a competitor in the supremacy over the masses. Others disagreed about the possibility to use violent means. Another leading theme of objection concerned the industrialization, strongly opposed by Gandhi because of its deadly effects over the Indian population. Generally, an intense opposition came from the misunderstanding of the nonviolent path as a passive one. Moreover, the consideration of Gandhi’s experiments changed from it being perceived as “native” (because it came from an Asian country, and in opposition to Marxism coming from Europe) to a perception as an external one when Marxism was “sinicised.” Anyway, the main reason of the difficulty in implementing Gandhism is that it does not aim to triumph over the opponents, but it is rather a way to individuate and assert the Truth (satyagraha), with both side winning. When this intent is absent, it is impossible to realize it.

description: Two copper(II) coordination complexes, formulated as [Cu(tmen)(Clba)2] (1) and [Cu(tmen)(Hsal)2·H2O] (2) (where tmen = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl ethylenediamine (C6H16N2), Clba1− = 2-chlorobenzoate (C7H4ClO21−), and Hsal1− (C7H5O31− = monoanion of o-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid)), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental combustion analysis, spectroscopic techniques, thermal studies, and single crystal X-ray analyses. Complex 1 consists of two distinct monomeric units in which the coordination environment around the central copper(II) ion is a distorted octahedron with a CuN2O4 chromophore, constituted by a chelating tmen molecule, and two 2-chlorobenzoate1− anions coordinated through their carboxylate-O atoms in an asymmetrical bidentate fashion. Complex 2 is also a monomer and consists of an CuN2O3 chromophore, in which tmen is coordinated to Cu(II) through its two N atoms in a chelating bidentate fashion, and an aqua-O and the two o-hydroxybenzoate1− (HSal1−) anions are coordinated through one of their carboxylate-O atoms in a monodentate mode, forming a square pyramidal structure. Hydrogen bonding interactions especially of O–H…O, N–H…O, and C–H…Cl types interweave monomeric units and stabilize the overall crystal structures in both complexes. Thermal analysis and antibacterial activities of 1 and 2 against various bacterial strains were also investigated.
Comparison of body composition, basal metabolic rate and metabolic outcomes of adults with Prader-Willi syndrome and age- and BMI-matched patients with essential obesity

description: This study compared metabolic syndrome (MetS) features in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) to those in age-, BMI-, and gender-matched subjects with essential obesity (EOB). Methods: Thirty-two PWS patients (23 females, 9 males; median age 31.6 years; BMI 42.0 kg/m2) underwent several assessments, including anthropometric measurements, body composition via bio-impedance analysis, basal metabolic rate (BMR) using indirect calorimetry, and blood sampling. Results: Their data were compared to a matched EOB group (23 females, 9 males; median age 31.4 years; BMI 43.5 kg/m2). The study groups (PWS and EOB) were subsequently divided into two subgroups based on the International Diabetes Federation criteria for the definition of MetS. Results showed that individuals with PWS had significantly lower (p < 0.001) body weight (BW, −20.9%), height (−8.9%), fat-free mass (FFM, −23.5%), and fat mass (FM, −19.2%) in absolute terms compared to EOB subjects. However, the relativepercentages of FFM and FM were similar. Absolute BMR was 25.5% (p < 0.001) lower in the PWS group; however, this difference disappeared when adjusted for FFM or body weight (BW). Metabolic outcomes were broadly similar between the groups, except for higher fasting glucose (+7.3%) and HbA1c levels (+7.9%), and lower fasting insulin (−29.0%) in PWS patients. Conclusions: Moreover, PWS subjects exhibited higher total cholesterol (+9.6%) and HDL-cholesterol (+19.8%), suggesting a more favourable lipid profile and no extra risk beyond severe obesity.

These data cannot be made publicly available as they include sensitive information, but they can be made available upon reasonable request of interested researchers to the corresponding author, who will forward a data transfer agreement request to the relevant Ethical Committee.

 Notes: Swedish collections recorded as Dendryphiella salina (G.K. Sutherl.) Pugh et Nicot by Erneholm (1972) from Bohuslän, Skåne, and Västergötland. Also, under the same name, in Henningsson (1974) from Bohuslän.
 This species name has changed repeatedly as indicated in the above synonymy, the most recent based on molecular data. Jones et al. (2008) (ITS, SSU, LSU), concluded that the marine Dendryphiella Bubák et Ranoj. species, Dendryphiella arenaria Nicot and Dendryphiella salina, belong to the Pleosporaceae in a sister clade to the Pleospora Rabenh. ex Ces. et De Not. / Stemphylium Wallr. complex. They also showed the type species of Dendryphiella, Dendryphiella vinosa (Berk. et M.A. Curtis) Reisinger, to be only distantly related to D. arenaria and D. salina. The marine Dendryphiella species are morphologically different from Scolecobasidium E.V. Abbott as they lack denticles on the conidiogenous cells as described by Ellis (1976).

Gopīnāth Kavirāj e la scienza solare
Creators: name: Bianchi, Sara
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2019

description: This paper outlines the richness and complexity of Gopīnāth Kavirāj’s (1887-1976) contribution to the Indological studies, in particular in the field of Tantric studies. Kavirāj was at the same time an important academic scholar acknowledged both in India and in the West, a traditional paṇḍit and a Tantric sādhaka. These three experiences were inextricably connected: for him the only valuable knowledge was the one that allows spiritual achievements. The focus is in particular on sūrya-vijñāna (solar science), a nearly unkown technique to materialize objects seemingly from nothing, strictly connected to Kavirāj’s guru, Viśuddhānand Paramhaṃs. In my opinion Kavirāj’s treatment of sūrya-vijñāna is an interesting example of the link between sādhanā world and critical thought in his work.

description: We present a general analytical formalism to determine the energy spectrum of a quantum particle in a cubic lattice subject to translationally invariant commensurate magnetic fluxes and in the presence of a general space-independent non-Abelian gauge potential. We first review and analyze the case of purely Abelian potentials, showing also that the so-called Hasegawa gauge yields a decomposition of the Hamiltonian into sub-matrices having minimal dimension. Explicit expressions for such matrices are derived, also for general anisotropic fluxes. Later on, we show that the introduction of a translational invariant non-Abelian coupling for multi-component spinors does not affect the dimension of the minimal Hamiltonian blocks, nor the dimension of the magnetic Brillouin zone. General formulas are presented for the U(2) case and explicit examples are investigated involving $π$ and $2π/3$ magnetic fluxes. Finally, we numerically study the effect of random flux perturbations.

La danza nel buddhismo antico

description: The article analyses the status of dance in the Pāli Canon. At a first sight, it seems that dancing, watching dancers’ performances and their organization were not approved by the Buddha; but the comparison between some canonical Pāli passages shows that this apparently negative evaluation was motivated by the expectations of the Indian people towards ascetics, rather than an absolute refusal of this art on its own.

description: Reaction between (E)-2-((pyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol (HL) and copper(II) nitrate provides tetrakis[{(E)-2-((pyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenolato}(hydroxido)0.5(nitrato)1.5tetracopper(II) nitrate hydroxide, [(CuL)4(NO3)1.5(OH)0.5](NO3)(OH) (1). ESI-mass spectra show the ion peaks for the dinuclear species at m/z 565 for [(CuL)2(HCO2)]+ and 521 for [(CuL)2+H]+ and the mononuclear species at m/z 260 for [(CuL)]+. Vibrational spectra show very strong bands at 1604/1546 cm−1 for ν(C = N/C = C) and at 1384, 1351 cm−1 for ν(NO3–). Cyclic voltammograms demonstrate an irreversible redox processes for the Cu(II)/Cu(I) and Cu(I)/Cu(0) couples in acetonitrile. X-ray molecular structure determination explored the formation of a cationic tetranuclear copper(II)-complex, in which a deprotonated ligand molecule chelates to one copper ion with the phenolate-O and imino-N atoms. In addition, a phenolate-O atom bridges between two neighboring copper ions and a pyridine-N atom coordinates to a third copper ion, so that each ligand bridges among three copper ions in a κ2N,O:κO:κN' coordination sphere. Thus, the four copper ions and four chelating-bridging ligands assemble primarily into a cationic [(CuL)4]4+ complex. The two copper ions are further coordinated by either a nitrate anion (75% occupancy) or a hydroxide anion (25% occupancy) and form the core of a tetranuclear [(CuL)4(NO3)1.5(OH)0.5]2+ cation.
Do murdoṁ ke lie guldastā: Ritratti di genere e gioco intertestuale nella prosa di Surendra Varmā
Creators: name: Ghirardi, Veronica
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2019

description: Do murdoṁ ke lie guldastā (A bunch of flowers for two corpses) is a novel by Surendra Varmā, published for the first time in 1998. It is a sort of reversed Bildungsroman, with a highly theatrical flavor, still almost unknown among Western readers and largely overlooked by Hindi scholars. With this paper I aim at investigating two specific aspects of the text that may encourage reflections on a planetary scale: the deconstruction of conventional gender roles and the presence of intertextual irony. After introducing the plot and the main characters — not only the corpses mentioned in the title, but also the city of Mumbai where most of the events take place — I will firstly linger over the pictures of masculinity and femininity provided by the author, and the beneath problematization of conventional gender roles. As regards this, I argue that Surendra Varmā’s novel should be read as a possible counterpart of Hindi feminist writing, as it represents a different perspective from which to observe the transformations of gender roles and of the relationships between men and women. Subsequently, I will show how the author plays with intertextuality, introducing ironic and often desecrating connections between Itihāsa (particularly the Mahābhārata) and his characters’ vicissitudes. Both these aspects of the novel are extremely thought-provoking and allow to link Varmā’s work to a conspicuous part of contemporary planetary literature.
