Cinema as a Place of Educational Practice during the Fascist Regime in Italy (1922-1943)
2021
The evolution of Italian cinema in the first half of the twentieth century is intertwined with the historical events that marked Italy in the period between the two world wars: the coming to power of fascism and the rise to power of Benito Mussolini. Its protectionist policy favored the growth of the film industry that, in few years, created new forms of representation and made cinema a popular and mass art with a great pedagogical impact. He defined cinema as “the strongest weapon” because, through a strategic use of moving images, it had the power to “rule the gaze of the spectators”. After the advent of the sound cinema, from the thirties, the political intervention of the regime promote…

Dalle Cronache del mal d’amore al ciclo dell’Amica geniale: continuità ed evoluzione nella narrativa di Elena Ferrante
2019
The paper analyzes the whole narrative production of Elena Ferrante, emphasizing its unity and cohesion. Cohesion coexists with discontinuity: the publication of My Brilliant Friend marks an inventive turning point and reveals new strategies. But it’s even remarkable Ferrante’s predilection for a narrative in which «the flow of storytelling that despite its density manages to sweep you away».
I paesaggi di Roberto Raviola
2020
Tra le varie espressioni del disegno, quella del fumetto costituisce un connubio indissolubile tra immagine e testo che insieme formano la narrazione. Disegnare fumetti è un’arte, la costruzione di una letteratura disegnata che lascia sempre spazio all’immaginazione. Tra i fumettisti italiani più famosi, Roberto Raviola trova un posto di riguardo. Conosciuto con lo pseudonimo di Magnus, il percorso della sua vita lavorativa è stato straordinario. Il saggio vuole descrivere parte della sua opera. Among the various expressions of drawing, that of comics constitutes an indissoluble union between image and text that together form the narrative. Drawing comics is an art, the construction of a dr…

Understanding youth athletes' life designing processes through dream day narratives
2018
A number of studies have investigated career pathways in elite sport with retrospective designs, but few studies have explored how youth elite athletes construct narratives about their future lives and how their dreams and hopes relate to their careers in sport and other life contexts.

Seventeen Finnish youth elite athletes (7 men, 10 women) in the first year of upper secondary sport school participated in the study. They were asked to make visual representations of their “dream days”, and these were used as aids for reflection in low-structured interviews where partici…

IMMAGINAZIONE FILMICA E FANTASCIENZA NELL' EDUCAZIONE DEI GIOVANI
2018
Questo articolo rivaluta l’esperienza filmica come un’occasione di apprendimento per i giovani, nei quali provoca un’immaginazione che permette loro di dotare di nuovi significati la realtà. In particolare, il cinema di fantascienza viene considerato un passaggio imprescindibile per la formazione dell’identità della persona, sia per l’aspetto avventuroso, che conduce gli spettatori ad una graduale metamorfosi da una fase ingenua ad una visione più realistica di se stessi, delle cose e degli altri, sia per la vocazione utopica, cioè per la capacità di immaginare il futuro che fornisce loro un modo per conoscere il presente, recuperare la memoria storica e progettare il futuro. This paper re-…
Imagination in human social cognition, autism, and psychotic-affective conditions
2016
Abstract Complex human social cognition has evolved in concert with risks for psychiatric disorders. Recently, autism and psychotic-affective conditions (mainly schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression) have been posited as psychological ‘opposites’ with regard to social-cognitive phenotypes. Imagination, considered as ‘forming new ideas, mental images, or concepts’, represents a central facet of human social evolution and cognition. Previous studies have documented reduced imagination in autism, and increased imagination in association with psychotic-affective conditions, yet these sets of findings have yet to be considered together, or evaluated in the context of the diametric mode…
