Il Caucaso e la cultura russa tra XIX e XX secolo	Daniele Artoni	La visione del Caucaso dei viaggiatori occidentali, da un lato, e dei rappresentanti delle culture locali e di quella russa, dall'altro, può differire in modo significativo. I diversi punti di vista sono un interessante aspetto di analisi per la comprensione delle complesse dinamiche culturali dell'area. L'argomento si presta a considerazioni sul post-coloniale.

Other authors object of study in the nineteenth century are: A. Puškin (Karamzinian tradition in Pikovaja dama, dynamics of the subject in Mozart and Salieri); F. Dostoevskij (correspondence).

Onomastica e calligrafia nel processo creativo. Fedor Dostoevskij	Giorgia Pomarolli	Il ruolo di onomastica e calligrafia nei processi creativi specifici che portano alla gestazione delle opere letterarie di F.M. Dostoevskij.
