Discussion of generic interpretations of Ariosto's "Orlando furioso"
Music style not only modulates the auditory cortex, but also motor related areas
2021
The neuroscience of music has recently attracted significant attention, but the effect of music style on the activation of auditory-motor regions has not been explored. The aim of the present study is to analyze the differences in brain activity during passive listening to non-vocal excerpts of four different music genres (classical, reggaeton, electronic and folk). A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment was performed. Twenty-eight participants with no musical training were included in the study. They had to passively listen to music excerpts of the above genres during fMRI acquisition. Imaging analysis was performed at the whole-brain-level and in auditory-motor regions …
The role of customer online reviews in the discourse-dialogic construction of hotel websites
2015
Esta comunicación da cuenta de una investigación que intenta desvelar si las webs hoteleras incluyen una comunicación hotel-cliente (autor-lector), partiendo de las reseñas de los viajeros y transformando estas críticas en estrategias discursivas para implicar al cliente. Para ello, se han analizado las reseñas de cuatro hoteles, de forma cuantitativa y cualitativa. Los resultados muestran así un mejor conocimiento del rol de las reseñas en línea en la construcción discursiva de las webs hoteleras. This research attempts to assess whether hotel websites include writer-reader interplay using stance markers from customer reviews and transforming them into engagement strategies, which are nece…
A Genre Approach to Electronic Rapid Responses from the Online British Medical Journal
2015
El contínuo crecimiento de las comunicaciones electrónicas en las ciencias médicas ha creado nuevas esferas de interacción en las que sus participantes evalúan las contribuciones científicas realizadas por otros expertos. El presente estudio se aborda como caso práctico de Análisis de Discurso Comparativo. En la tradición del Análisis del Discurso, y del Análisis de Género, la presente tesis procede inicialmente a caracterizar cuantitativamente, en términos de frecuencia, un corpus de Respuestas Rápidas Electrónicas (e-RRs) en la revista British Medical Journal (thebmj.com) para, a continuación, proceder al estudio de las diferencias en la organización del discurso de dos subgéneros médicos…
'I love Rock 'n' Roll'--music genre preference modulates brain responses to music.
2013
The present study examined the effect of participants' music genre preference on the neural processes underlying evaluative and cognitive judgements of music using the event-related potential technique. To this aim, two participant groups differing in their preference for Latin American and Heavy Metal music performed a liking judgement and a genre classification task on a variety of excerpts of either music genre. A late positive potential (LPP) was elicited in all conditions between 600 and 900 ms after stimulus onset. During the genre classification task, an early negativity was elicited by the preferred compared to the non-preferred music at around 230-370 ms whereas the non-preferred g…
La scolarisation féminine à Djibouti
2012
A la croisée de la sociologie du genre, de la sociologie de l'éducation et de l'anthropologie politique, cette recherche s'intéresse à la complémentarité des approches disciplinaires et méthodologiques au travers d'une étude sur les élèves de Djibouti pour sortir d'une "lecture en négatif" sur la scolarisation des filles limitée en contexte africain. A la suite de ce travail d'immersion sur lequel a reposé cette recherche, ce sont cependant les angélismes qui se cachent derrière la promotion de l'éducation des filles africaines qu'il convient d'interroger et qui donnent à mieux comprendre la persistance des thèses "afropessimistes" dans les rapports d'experts ou la littérature scientifique.
Genre-dependent effects of 3D film on presence, motion sickness, and protagonist perception
2016
Do the increasingly popular 3D movies change how we perceive the content of the movie? We presented short (3.21 min) film sequences to observers equipped with shutter glasses. Three genres (horror, action, and documentary) were crossed with three between-subjects viewing conditions (director’s 3D, artificial 3D, and 2D). Observers had to rate how the film impressed them in terms of arousal, motion sickness, presence, and immersion. They also judged the personality, attractiveness, and intelligence of the protagonist in all viewing conditions. Not surprisingly, horror films produced more arousal and presence than action films. Documentaries scored lowest on presence. Action movies produced t…
Automatic subgenre classification of heavy metal music
2011
Automatic genre classification of music has been of interest for researchers over a decade. Many success-ful methods and machine learning algorithms have been developed achieving reasonably good results. This thesis explores automatic sub-genre classification problem of one of the most popular meta-genres, heavy metal. To the best of my knowledge this is the first attempt to study the issue. Besides attempting automatic classification, the thesis investigates sub-genre taxonomy of heavy metal music, highlighting the historical origins and the most prominent musical features of its sub-genres. For classification, an algorithm proposed in (Barbedo & Lopes, 2007) was modified and implemented i…
In-Between discourse and genre: doctor-patient interaction in online communication. Formal and informal features in CMC
2012
Abstract This paper presents the results of a corpus-based study which investigates the genre of medical eexchanges between doctors and medical website users. Three conversational routines (greetings, politeness, formal and informal linguistic features) are analyzed. The framework of the study is what some researchers refer to as net linguistics (Posteguillo 2003), consisting of the linguistic study of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). The findings indicate that health posts are a relatively informal type of d/p interaction which is largely influenced by e-mails and chat conventions.
Le relazioni familiari nel cinema degli anni cinquanta verso una nuova genitorialità
2017
In questo articolo viene proposta una ricostruzione storica delle relazioni educative familiari dell’Italia degli anni Cinquanta. Dallo studio dei diversi generi cinematografici diffusisi in quegli anni (neorealismo, melò e commedia) emerge l’immagine di una famiglia in transizione, divisa tra il vecchio e il nuovo. Il cinema neorealista descriveva la crisi del modello educativo autoritario, il melò rappresentava i difficili rapporti tra uomo e donna, la commedia si faceva interprete delle nuove conflittualità relazionali vissute all’interno della famiglia nucleare, sia tra padre e madre sia tra genitori e figli. Il cinema si faceva pertanto interprete dei conflitti dell’epoca, mettendo in …
