A forza di essere isolata, essenzializzata e statualizzata, la figura di Melusina (Mélusine) ha subito un certo impoverimento, persino una paradossale sterilizzazione, nella misura in cui dovrebbe, al contrario, collocarsi sul versante dell’eccesso e della fertilità. Risalendo ai tre testi principali – i romanzi di Giovanni di Arras (completato nel 1393), Coudrette (scritto poco dopo il 1401) e Thüring von Ringoltingen (scritto nel 1456) – questo articolo propugna il ritorno a una Melusina storicizzata ed epica. Né mostro solitario né vice del demonio, la madre dei Lusignani si comprende attraverso i suoi discendenti fatati: è tramite i suoi prodigiosi figli che rivela, al ritmo della narrazione, la sua verità. In ogni muscolo, in ogni deformità facciale, in ogni tratto di grandezza o di follia dei suoi dieci figli, emerge la presenza di Melusina. Il personaggio chiave della storia è Goffredo dal Grande Dente (Geoffroy la Grand-Dent), il suo sesto figlio: in una discesa agli inferi che è allo stesso tempo geologica e genealogica, egli scopre i segreti di famiglia e l’origine del male. Ritornando a questo motivo, ci proponiamo di restituire la singolarità della narrazione melusiniana: quella di un’intensa interrogazione sulla filiazione, da cui dipendono le moderne riflessioni sull’individuo e sulla famiglia, sulle pulsioni di vita e sull’istinto di morte.

Anterior pelvic ring fractures are common in geriatric patients. The Supraacetabular External Fixator (SEF) is a relatively simple and effective surgical procedure. On the other hand, there is the option of a Subcutaneous Iliopubic Plate (SIP) osteosynthesis. Only limited comparative biomechanical data of these two devices are available. Therefore, this biomechanical study’s objective was to compare the stabilizing effect of the SEF versus the SIP in a model of Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis (FFP) type Ia. A test stand for pelvic biomechanics testing that emulates the gait loading cycle with physiological relevance was used. The osteotomy on the right pelvic ring was stabilized either with the SEF or the SIP. Strain gauges were used to measure strain in the pelvic ring. The osteotomy’s spatial interfragmentary displacement (SID) was monitored using a 3D digital image correlation system. The SEF stabilization reduced the SID by approximately 10%, whereas the locking SIP could reduce displacement by about 62%. Additionally, the SIP reduced the stress/strain levels by 67% in the posterior pelvic ring. We could demonstrate that the SIP is superior to SEF in treating FFP type Ia as it significantly reduced the osteotomy’s SID and the strain in the posterior pelvic ring. [less ▲]

In the paper by Inna Ganschow, the camp experience in the Soviet Union as a result of forced conscription will be treated, specifically in its artistic processing: secretly written diaries and letters by Luxembourg Wehrmacht soldiers. Contemporary historical research today calls them ego documents – private, handwritten texts of a personal nature. The range of texts to be examined in the lecture ranges from the smuggled out notes and letters that their released comrades took with them to Luxembourg, through diaries, speeches and self-made dictionaries to poems, short stories and drawings, some of which were in the camp and some immediately after the return from Tambov and other camps in the Soviet Union. The focus is on the question of dealing with the thesis of the Auschwitz concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist and neurologist from Vienna, that the meaning of camp life - logotherapy - can have a self-healing effect and increase the self-healing powers, which increases the chances of survival.
