The experience of activities and their meaning for people who live with schizophrenia : a phenemenological investigation
Creators: name: Casey, Regina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: BACKGROUND: This study aims to answer the call to advance knowledge within the occupational therapy and occupational science literature to explore the experience and meaning of occupation/activity participation from both ontic and ontological perspectives. OBJECTIVE: This phenomenological inquiry sought to understand the meaning of activity participation for 10 adults who live with schizophrenia on the west coast of Canada METHODS: Rich descriptions of people’s lives were collected by means of multiple in-depth interviews over a period of two years. The analysis process was guided by the hermeneutic writings of Husserl (1859-1939), Heidegger (1962), and Gadamer (2004), and drew on occupational science and occupational therapy concepts such as doing, being, belonging and becoming (Rebeiro, Day, Semeniuk, O’ Brien & Wilson, 2001; Hammell, 2004; Wilcock, 1998). Analysis involved writing, reflecting and re-writing the findings such that themes and aspects of meaning showed themselves over time. RESULTS: Three interrelated themes that show aspects of meaning are presented. They include: (1) activities of citizenship, recognition and skill development for social inclusion, (2) activities for health and well-being and for justice, and (3) activities that resonate with the call to be “more fully human.” Findings provide understanding of the ways in which others can influence the experience and meaning of activity participation. Study findings also provide a hopeful discourse regarding participants’ engagement in productive activities. CONCLUSION: This study adds to the literature as it analyses the range of activity participation over a two year period for participants. It is unique in that it is the first study within the field of occupational therapy and occupational science to inquire about the meaning of activities related to citizenship with and for people who live with schizophrenia. The conclusions are that: (1) activity participation is a source of hope and is influenced by notions of inclusion and justice, (2) all activity has meaning, positive and/or negative and (3) meaning in activity is connected to, and has implications for, meaning in life and well-being. This work opens space for further dialogue and research on the topic.

description: We consider the weak turbulence of whistler waves in the in low-β inner magnetosphere of the Earth. Whistler waves with frequencies, originating in the ionosphere, propagate radially outward and can trigger nonlinear induced scattering by thermal electrons provided the wave energy density is large enough. Nonlinear scattering can substantially change the direction of the wave vector of whistler waves and hence the direction of energy flux with only a small change in the frequency. A portion of whistler waves return to the ionosphere with a smaller perpendicular wave vector resulting in diminished linear damping and enhanced ability to pitch-angle scatter trapped electrons. In addition, a portion of the scattered wave packets can be reflected near the ionosphere back into the magnetosphere. Through multiple nonlinear scatterings and ionospheric reflections a long-lived wave cavity containing turbulent whistler waves can be formed with the appropriate properties to efficiently pitch-angle scatter trapped electrons. The primary consequence on the Earth's radiation belts is to reduce the lifetime of the trapped electron population.

Pensare per metafore: l’hydre e l’arbre nella guerra civile tra gli increduli

description: The essay is concerned with the instrumental use of two specific metaphors (the hydra and the tree) in the conflict, which arose in the second half of the eighteenth century, between the moderate wing (led by Voltaire) and the radical one (led by d’Holbach) of the French philosophical party. The main aim is to show how the choice of these particular metaphorical images it is neither fortuitous nor neutral, but it meets precise objectives. Indeed, if the Herculean monster allows us to highlight the political nature of religion, the poisonous tree is a polemical resemanticization of some biblical figures.

description: We develop from first principles Markovian master equations suited for studying the time evolution of a system evolving adiabatically while coupled weakly to a thermal bath. We derive two sets of equations in the adiabatic limit, one using the rotating wave (secular) approximation that results in a master equation in Lindblad form, the other without the rotating wave approximation but not in Lindblad form. The two equations make markedly different predictions depending on whether or not the Lamb shift is included. Our analysis keeps track of the various time- and energy-scales associated with the various approximations we make, and thus allows for a systematic inclusion of higher order corrections, in particular beyond the adiabatic limit. We use our formalism to study the evolution of an Ising spin chain in a transverse field and coupled to a thermal bosonic bath, for which we identify four distinct evolution phases. While we do not expect this to be a generic feature, in one of these phases dissipation acts to increase the fidelity of the system state relative to the adiabatic ground state.

description: Presently, dedicated instruments at large telescopes (SPHERE for the VLT, GPI for Gemini)
are about to discover and explore self-luminous giant planets by direct imaging and
spectroscopy. The next generation of 30m-40m ground-based telescopes, the Extremely Large
Telescopes (ELTs), have the potential to dramatically enlarge the discovery space towards
older giant planets seen in reflected light and ultimately even a small number of rocky
planets. EPICS is a proposed instrument for the European ELT, dedicated to the detection
and characterization of Exoplanets by direct imaging, spectroscopy and polarimetry. ESO
completed a phase-A study for EPICS with a large European consortium which, by simulations
and demonstration experiments, investigated state-of-the-art diffraction and speckle
suppression techniques to deliver highest contrasts. The paper presents the instrument
concept and analysis as well as its main innovations and science capabilities. EPICS is
capable of discovering hundreds of giant planets, and dozens of lower mass planets down
to the rocky planets domain.

Singular order parameter interaction at nematic quantum critical point in two dimensional electron systems

description: We analyze the infrared behavior of effective N-point interactions between order parameter fluctuations for nematic and other quantum critical electron systems with a scalar order parameter in two dimensions. The interactions exhibit a singular momentum and energy dependence and thus cannot be represented by local vertices. They diverge for all N greater or equal 4 in a collinear static limit, where energy variables scale to zero faster than momenta, and momenta become increasingly collinear. The degree of divergence is not reduced by any cancellations and renders all N-point interactions marginal. A truncation of the order parameter action at quartic or any other finite order is therefore not justified. The same conclusion can be drawn for the effective action describing fermions coupled to a U(1) gauge field in two dimensions.

description: Direct detection and spectral characterization of extra-solar planets is one of the most
exciting but also one of the most challenging areas in modern astronomy due to the very large
contrast between the host star and the planet at very small angular separations. SPHERE (Spectro-Polarimetric
High-contrast Exoplanet Research in Europe) is a second-generation instrument for the
ESO VLT dedicated to this scientific objective. It combines an extreme adaptive optics system,
various coronagraphic devices and a suite of focal instruments providing imaging, integral field
spectroscopy and polarimetry capabilities in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges. The
extreme AO system, SAXO, is the heart of the SPHERE system, providing to the scientific
instruments a flat wavefront corrected from all the atmospheric turbulence and internal defects. We
present a status of SAXO assembly integration and testing. The main AO system characteristics are
recalled, then each sub system is individually presented and characterized. In the end, SAXO shall
meet its challenging requirements (more than 90% of SR in H band with a residual jitter lower than 3
milli-arcseconds for average observation conditions on the VLT). Assessment of the performance
shall be performed in a near future, but we propose first results of the AO system in its current status.

description: In this paper we investigate special generalized Bernoulli polynomials with a,b,c parameters that generalize classical Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. The present paper deals with some recurrence formulae for the generalization of poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials with a,b,c parameters. Poly-Bernoulli numbers satisfy certain recurrence relationships which are used in many computations involving poly-Bernoulli numbers. Obtaining a closed formula for generalization of poly-Bernoulli numbers with a,b,c paramerers therefore seems to be a natural and important problem. By using the generalization of poly-Bernoulli polynomials with a,b,c parameters of negative index we define symmetrized generalization of poly-Bernoulli polynomials with a,b parameters of two variables and we prove duality property for them. Also by stirling numbers of the second kind we will find a closed formula for them. Furthermore we generalize the Arakawa-Kaneko Zeta functions and by using the Laplace-Mellin integral, we define generalization of Arakawa-Kaneko Zeta functions with a,b parameters and we obtain an interpolation formula for the generalization of poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials with a,b parameters. Furthermore we present a link between this type of Zeta functions and Dirichlet series. By our interpolation formula, we will interpolate the generalization of Arakawa-Kaneko Zeta functions with a,b parameters.

description: Generalizing de Broglie's hypothesis, we show that the basic quantum behavior of ordinary field theory can be retrieved in a semi-classical and geometrical way from the assumption of intrinsic periodicity of elementary systems. The geometrodynamical description of interactions that arises in from this approach provides an intuitive interpretation of Maldacena's conjecture and it turns out to be of the same type of the one prescribed by general relativity.

description: Layer-oriented Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics systems apply two
or more wavefront sensors (WFS), each with its own deformable mirror (DM)
and each conjugate to a different turbulent layer in the atmosphere. Because these
sensors apply correction in series, they are largely decoupled from one another,
lending them to a phased commissioning approach. Commissioning instruments
on large telescopes, while almost always successful in the end, can be, experience
has shown, inefficient and difficult to schedule. For LINC-NIRVANA we
plan to take advantage of the natural decoupling between the ground-layer subsystem
(a 12-star pyramid WFS operating in conjunction with the LBT adaptive
secondary) and the mid-high subsystem (an 8-star pyramid WFS working in conjunction
with a Xynetics 349 actuator DM) to mitigate the difficulties that have
been experienced commissioning complex instruments on large, over-subscribed,
telescopes. Pathfinder is a test-bed, consisting of only those subsystems needed to
operate, stand-alone, one of the two LINC-NIRVANA ground-layer subsystems.
The Pathfinder effort will tease out top-level interface issues; while at the same
time providing a valuable characterization of the Mount Graham ground-layer.
To what extent will this ground-layer system provide a seeing-corrected image to
the next WFS/DM pair in the LINC-NIRVANA system: the mid-high wavefrontsensor
(MHWS)? We present status and plans for the LINC-NIRVANA Pathfinder
effort, a novel approach for commissioning MCAO systems on large telescopes.

description: We present spectroscopic confirmation of a z=0.99 galaxy cluster discovered using data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). This is the first z~1 cluster candidate from the Massive Distant Clusters of WISE Survey (MaDCoWS) to be confirmed. It was selected as an overdensity of probable z>~1 sources using a combination of WISE and SDSS-DR8 photometric catalogs. Deeper follow-up imaging data from Subaru and WIYN reveal the cluster to be a rich system of galaxies, and multi-object spectroscopic observations from Keck confirm five cluster members at z=0.99. The detection and confirmation of this cluster represents a first step towards constructing a uniformly-selected sample of distant, high-mass galaxy clusters over the full extragalactic sky using WISE data.

description: We study the low-temperature properties of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 chain of magnetic impurities coupled to a (normal) metal environment by means of anisotropic Kondo exchange. In the case of easy-plane anisotropy, we obtain the phase diagram of this system at T=0. We show that the in-plane Kondo coupling destabilizes the Tomonaga-Luttinger phase of the spin-chain, and leads to two different phases: i) At strong Kondo coupling, the spins in the chain form Kondo singlets and become screened by the metallic environment, and ii) At weak and intermediate Kondo coupling, we find a novel dissipative phase characterized by diffusive gapless spin excitations. The two phases are separated by a quantum critical point of the Wilson-Fisher universality class with dynamical exponent $z\simeq2$.

description: This article provides a completion to theories of information based on entropy, resolving a longstanding question in its axiomatization as proposed by Shannon and pursued by Jaynes. We show that Shannon's entropy function has a complementary dual function which we call "extropy." The entropy and the extropy of a binary distribution are identical. However, the measure bifurcates into a pair of distinct measures for any quantity that is not merely an event indicator. As with entropy, the maximum extropy distribution is also the uniform distribution, and both measures are invariant with respect to permutations of their mass functions. However, they behave quite differently in their assessments of the refinement of a distribution, the axiom which concerned Shannon and Jaynes. Their duality is specified via the relationship among the entropies and extropies of course and fine partitions. We also analyze the extropy function for densities, showing that relative extropy constitutes a dual to the Kullback-Leibler divergence, widely recognized as the continuous entropy measure. These results are unified within the general structure of Bregman divergences. In this context they identify half the $L_2$ metric as the extropic dual to the entropic directed distance. We describe a statistical application to the scoring of sequential forecast distributions which provoked the discovery.

description: It is expected that a substantial fraction of wave-front distortions at ELTs will be
isoplanatic, being produced jointly by near-ground and dome turbulence, wind buffeting,
flexures, and vibrations. We compare various strategies for sensing this ground component
using (i) several sodium LGSs, (ii) one or several Rayleigh LGSs and (ii) NGSs in a wide
field. The experience gained so far with the RLGS GLAO system SAM at 4-m telescope is
presented. The results include wide-field partial correction with NGS, vibrations in focus
and astigmatism, PSF modeling, and first tests of SAM with UV RLGS.

description: Il Beato Antonio da Fano era un frate francescano decedu-to nel 1435, dopo essere stato confessore del re d’Aragona Alfonso V e ambasciatore presso la Santa Sede. Il suo cor-po, recentemente rinvenuto nella chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova in Fano, è stato sottoposto ad ispezione esterna, esami radiologici e successive indagini di laboratorio. La mummia, ben conservata e parzialmente scheletrizzata, mostrava evidenza di obesità, aterosclerosi e carie dentale, lasciando ipotizzare una dieta ricca di zuccheri e grassi. L’antropometria indicava un’altezza di 168 cm. Lo studio ergo-nomico mostrava un impegno moderato e simmetrico degli arti inferiori con un carico assai minore del distretto superiore. I rari processi artrosici riguardavano la colonna toracica e lombare. La cavità cranica conteneva materiale amorfo, resti ossei di roditori e frammenti di tessili relativi alla prima sepoltura. La ricostruzione facciale è stata effet-tuata mediante tomografia computerizzata.

BCS ansatz, Bogoliubov approach to superconductivity and Richardson-Gaudin exact wave function

description: The Bogoliubov approach to superconductivity provides a strong mathematical support to the wave function ansatz proposed by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS). Indeed, this ansatz --- with all pairs condensed into the same state --- corresponds to the ground state of the Bogoliubov Hamiltonian. Yet, this Hamiltonian only is part of the BCS Hamiltonian. As a result, the BCS ansatz definitely differs from the BCS Hamiltonian ground state. This can be directly shown either through a perturbative approach starting from the Bogoliubov Hamiltonian, or better by analytically solving the BCS Schrödinger equation along Richardson-Gaudin exact procedure. Still, the BCS ansatz leads not only to the correct extensive part of the ground state energy for an arbitrary number of pairs in the energy layer where the potential acts --- as recently obtained by solving Richardson-Gaudin equations analytically --- but also to a few other physical quantities such as the electron distribution, as here shown. The present work also considers arbitrary filling of the potential layer and evidences the existence of a super dilute and a super dense regime of pairs, with a gap \emph{different} from the usual gap. These regimes constitute the lower and upper limits of density-induced BEC-BCS cross-over in Cooper pair systems.

description: The unprecedented angular resolution soon to be offered by extremely large telescopes
(ELTs), together with recently developed high contrast imaging techniques (coronagraphy
and wavefront control), can enable direct imaging and spectroscopic characterization
of potentially habitable planets around nearby M-type stars. While the habitable zone
of M stars is challenging to resolve, the planet to star contrast and the apparent brightness
of the planet are highly favorable, thus providing the only opportunity for direct
imaging and spectroscopic characterization of habitable planets from the ground. The
key to imaging and characterizing such planets lies in the ability to perform high
contrast imaging (approximately 1e-5 raw contrast) at 1 to 2λ/D with high photometric
efficiency. We demonstrate that technical solutions to this challenge exist: a full
throughput coronagraph concept offering sub-λ/D inner working angle at high contrast
on segmented aperture is shown, and schemes to achieve the necessary level of pointing
and low order wavefront error control are presented. Demonstrations of these key
techniques are ongoing in laboratories and on ground-based telescopes, already
yielding encouraging results. We conclude that a highly specialized, but relatively
simple, high contrast imaging system can be build for ELTs within this decade, and
that it would likely provide the first opportunity to acquire high quality spectra
of habitable planets, before space-based telescope can provide similar capabilities
for brighter F-G-K type stars
Materialising political economy: olive oil, patronage and science in Eighteenth-century Rome
Creators: name: Maddaluno, Lavinia
Publisher: name: Diciottesimo Secolo

description: The present article will explore some significant moments of the patronage bond between the Piarist Bartolomeo Gandolfi and Prince Andrea Doria Pamphilj Landi, patron of arts and science and one of the most powerful members of the Papal States’ landed aristocracy in the 1790s. Chair in Philosophy, Mathematics and Theology at the Collegio Nazareno (1780s), Gandolfi had worked as tutor to the children of Prince Andrea, developing a relationship of mutual trust with the Doria Pamphilj Landi family and carrying out land surveys to increase their grain and olive oil productions. This article will focus on Gandolfi’s scholarly identity and scientific endeavours and on his agronomic collaboration with the Doria Pamphilj Landi family as a lens to enquire into the function of patronage practices and improvement in the concrete realisation of political economic reforms in the Papal States under Pius VI.

description: We explore the implications of 7 TeV LHC searches for a scenario in which one of the stops is the next-to lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP). The NLSP stop (\tilde{t}_1) is assumed to decay exclusively into neutralino and charm quark. We consider processes where the stops are pair produced together with a hard QCD jet. We also consider stop quarks from gluino decays, \tilde{g}\to t\tilde{t}_1^\ast+\bar{t}\tilde{t}_1. We show that the monojet ATLAS and CMS searches corresponding to 1 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity are sensitive to stop masses of up to 160 GeV, with the 20% neutralino-stop coannihilation region essentially ruled out for M_{\tilde{t}_1}\lesssim 140 GeV. The region M_{\tilde{t}_1}\lesssim 130 GeV is excluded with even relatively larger mass difference, M_{\tilde{t}_1}-M_{\tildeχ_1^0}\sim 40 GeV, by the multi-jets search. The b-jet and same-sign dilepton searches are sensitive to a heavier gluino because they only pick up gluino pair production events followed by top quarks decaying into b-jets and same-sign dileptons, respectively. We find that the LHC data places a lower limit on the gluino mass in this scenario of about 600 GeV (700 GeV) from b-jets (same-sign dileptons) searches.

description: LINC-NIRVANA is a near infrared interferometric imager that will achieve ELT-like spatial
resolution for panoramic imagery on the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). The LBT is a unique platform
since its two, co-mounted 8.4-meter primary mirrors, coupled with fully adaptive secondary mirrors,
present a time and view-direction independent entrance pupil. This allows Fizeau-mode beam
combination, giving 23-meter equivalent spatial resolution and the collecting area of a 12-m telescope. In
order to achieve diffraction limited image quality and maximum sky coverage, in particular for finding
fringe-tracking reference stars, LINC-NIRVANA employs unique multi-conjugate adaptive optics
(MCAO). The NIRVANA system comprises a total of five control loops for atmospheric turbulence:
sequential ground and high-layer NGS AO correction for each telescope, coupled together through a
common delay line to remove differential atmospheric piston and vibration. The MCAO operates in layeroriented,
multiple field-of-view mode with up to 12 ground-layer and 8 high-layer natural stars per
telescope. LINC-NIRVANA is a pathfinder for ELT instrumentation and AO systems in more ways than
merely spatial resolution: in terms of physical size, complexity, alignment tolerances, and integration
challenges, LINC-NIRVANA serves as an instructive precursor for future efforts. In this paper, we
provide an update on the integration and testing of the instrument, and attempt to foresee and forestall
future lessons learned.

description: We describe the current status of the HARMONI instrument design, which will
form the basis for the first-light integral field spectrograph on the European Extremely
Large Telescope. We review the phase A design, and highlight current on-going work to evolve the
design in-line changing telescope requirements and lessons learned during the Phase A work.
We also outline the key science drivers for the instrument, and describe briefly the
requirements for the laser tomographic adaptive optics system which is expected to feed
HARMONI.

Identified hadron compositions in p+p and Au+Au collisions at high transverse momenta at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 200$ GeV
Creators: name: STAR Collaboration

description: We report transverse momentum ($p_{T} \leq15$ GeV/$c$) spectra of $π^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $p$, $\bar{p}$, $K_{S}^{0}$, and $ρ^{0}$ at mid-rapidity in p+p and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV. Perturbative QCD calculations are consistent with $π^{\pm}$ spectra in p+p collisions but do not reproduce $K$ and $p(\bar{p})$ spectra. The observed decreasing antiparticle-to-particle ratios with increasing $p_T$ provide experimental evidence for varying quark and gluon jet contributions to high-$p_T$ hadron yields. The relative hadron abundances in Au+Au at $p_{T}{}^{>}_{\sim}8$ GeV/$c$ are measured to be similar to the p+p results, despite the expected Casimir effect for parton energy loss.

description: La prima donna laureata in Medicina e Chirurgia presso l’Università di Roma risulta essere Edvige Benigni, nel 1890, seguita da Marcellina Corio e dalla celebre Maria Montessori. Il presente articolo approfondisce il caso di questa “pioniera”: i documenti reperiti, tuttavia, dimostrano che Edvige Benigni non era una donna, come si è ritenuto fino a oggi, bensì un uomo, lasciando così il primato a Marcellina Corio.

description: Resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, neutron scattering and x-ray crystallography measurements were used to study the evolution of magnetic order and crystallographic structure in single-crystal samples of the Ba1-xSrxFe2As2 and Sr1-yCayFe2As2 series. A non-monotonic dependence of the magnetic ordering temperature T0 on chemical pressure is compared to the progression of the antiferromagnetic staggered moment, characteristics of the ordering transition and structural parameters to reveal a distinct relationship between the magnetic energy scale and the tetrahedral bond angle, even far above T0. In Sr1-yCayFe2As2, an abrupt drop in T0 precisely at the Ca concentration where the tetrahedral structure approaches the ideal geometry indicates a strong coupling between the orbital bonding structure and the stabilization of magnetic order, providing strong constraints on the nature of magnetism in the iron-arsenide superconducting parent compounds.

Cognitive processes involved in hypothesis judgment and underlying functional brain networks
Creators: name: Whitman, Jennifer C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The manner in which we judge multiple hypotheses and consider multiple items of evidence is fundamental to diverse aspects of behaviour. One goal of the studies reported here was to identify cognitive biases in this process. A probabilistic reasoning paradigm involving objectively quantifiable evidence allowed the manipulation of factors biasing hypothesis judgment while mathematically normative responses were kept constant. This revealed two cognitive biases. The first was a tendency to overestimate the strength of gradually accumulated evidence. The second was a tendency to judge a self-selected hypothesis as being more probable than an externally selected one, despite equivalent supporting evidence. This selection bias was exacerbated in delusional schizophrenia patients. Our second goal was to describe brain networks involved in hypothesis judgment. To this purpose, we collected functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data during performance of a probabilistic reasoning task. Functionally connected brain networks were identified using constrained principal component analysis (CPCA). The fMRI results showed task-related activity in a network including the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and bilateral parietal cortex. The activity of this dACC-based network was strongest when the evidence was consistent with the hypothesis being judged (evidence-hypothesis matches). This result is discussed in terms of functional connectivity between the dACC and other brain regions as a possible mechanism for coherence between components of a mental representation. Both our behavioural results and our neuroimaging results show evidence of processing unique to situations involving cognitive coherence between the hypothesis being judged and the relevant evidence.

Il ‘vero’ Ottantanove. Alle fonti dei «diritti dell’uomo» e della «laicità»
Creators: name: Quintili, Paolo
Publisher: name: Diciottesimo Secolo
Year: 2020

description: This essay investigates the intellectual and political filiation between the Philosophy of Human Rights, the French Revolution and the Philosophy of the Enlightenment in general. In particular, the study attempts to reconnect the links between the key texts of the great Philosophes (Montesquieu, Rousseau, Diderot, d’Holbach, Raynal etc.) and the birth of the secular and anti-religious thought of the West, also linked to the anti-colonialist struggle, in Diderot and Raynal. Finally, the genesis of the notion of «laicity» (laïcité) and its long and intricate birth after the ‘real’ Eighty-nine, the Jacobin and radical one, are investigated. The civil constitution of the clergy, the emancipation of the Jews and, finally, the abolition of slavery represent the main stages of this ‘real’ 1789.

Tradurre Winckelmann nel secondo Settecento: i casi di Francia, Inghilterra e Italia
Creators: name: Ferrari, Stefano
Publisher: name: Diciottesimo Secolo
Year: 2020

description: The translations of Winckelmann’s works in the second half of Eighteenth century are prepared on the basis of two distinct methods: on the one hand, those produced by the European publishing market, independently of the personal control of the German art historian; on the other, those that Winckelmann himself seeks to manage directly or to which he subsequently grants his approval. The first case is strongly influenced by the lack of an intellectual property law that prevents the author from intervening in the revision of the text to be translated. In the second, other factors come into play, much more personal, such as the trust accorded to the translator or the guarantor of the translation.
