Progressive cerebellar ataxia, proximal neurogenic weakness and ocular motor disturbances: hexosaminidase A deficiency with late clinical onset in fo…
1997
Tay-Sachs disease is a genetically determined neurodegenerative disorder, resulting from mutations of the hexosaminidase (Hex) A gene coding for the alpha-subunit of beta-D-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase. Clinically, there is severe encephalomyelopathy leading to death within the first few years of life. Hex A activity is usually absent in tissue and body fluids of these patients. Juvenile and adult Hex A deficiencies are less severe but rare variants with some residual Hex A activity. All these variants are most prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews. We describe a non-Jewish family in which four adult brothers and sisters had markedly reduced Hex A activities and onset of symptoms in the second decade o…
Das sprachliche Bild „des Juden“ im essayistischen Werk Arnold Zweigs. Eine Analyse mithilfe des DIMEAN-Modells
2021
The concept of linguistic worldview has emerged as a theoretical term with analogous use outside of the discipline of linguistics, especially within the context of interdisciplinary studies, where literary works are approached from a linguistic perspective. This article aims to examine the linguistic image of the Jew in the essayistic work of German-Jewish writer Arnold Zweig (1887-1968), and to consider his role as an actor within a broader discourse. The methodological framework used is based on quantitative corpus analysis methodology and the DIMEAN model, as developed by Warnke and Spitzmüller.
Nation and/or Homeland: Identity in 19th-Century Music and Literature between Central and Mediterranean Europe
2012
The aim of this book is to focus on the development of national awareness elaborated around a series of different case studies, in which the terms nation, homeland and people have been applied. This Romantic lexicon identifies similar but various conceptions of the national idea in some countries dominated by Italian, German and Slavic cultures, and in some groups or minorities such as the Jews and the Vlachs in Central and Mediterranean Europe. In order to clarify the cultural framework, the authors explore the construction of identity through folk tunes, poetry inspired by popular culture, and opera in which the national myths or heroes appear. In the self-making tradition, the national t…

Per il testo, il ritmo e lo iato dell´Epistola di Aristea a Filocrate
2021
Epistulae Aristeae ad Philocratem loci nonnulli ad genuinam lectionem revocantur; praeterea quaeritur utrum hiatus vitetur atque clausolae numerosae sint. The aim of the first part of this paper is to cast new light on the textual constitution of some passages of the Epistula Aristeae ad Philocratem. Ca. 20 pieces are discussed and for most of them a new solution is proposed; in the other cases I argue for a solution already proposed, but not accepted by the editors. The aim of the second part is to establish whether the ps.-Aristeas used rhythmical prose or not, and whether he avoided the hiatus. The analysis shows that he wrote rhythmical prose and avoided the hiatus.
Left-Wing Italian Jews from the 1960s to 1980s: A Fluid Identity
2012
The aim of this chapter is to show how belonging to the Jewish Community as well as to the Italian left contributed to create the identity of certain Italian Jews. Through three life stories an attempt will be made to demonstrate that this link with the left-wing movement, which was very strong in the 1960s and 1970s, started to disappear in the early 1980s. At this time, due to the debate on the Lebanese war, Israel became the main component of their identity. Of course, this process had different characteristics which depended on different experiences. However, generally speaking we can talk about ‘mixed identities’ in which the link with Israel and political ideologies were balanced in v…
Il contributo di monsignor Giuseppe Lagumina alla ricostruzione della storia della Sicilia nei secoli XIV e XV
2020
Il saggio rivaluta Giuseppe Lagumina, storico e paleografo che lavorò a lungo nella Biblioteca Comunale di Palermo e partecipò alla vivace temperie culturale vissuta in questa città alla fine dell’Ottocento, quando fu fondata la “Società Siciliana per la Storia Patria” e nacquero la rivista “Archivio Storico Siciliano” e la collana “Documenti per servire alla Storia di Sicilia”. Il contributo di Giuseppe al "Codice Diplomatico dei Giudei di Sicilia", realizzato insieme con il più noto fratello Bartolomeo, è di gran lunga superiore a quanto finora ipotizzato. Inoltre, fu il primo storico che cercò di ricostruire gli atti finali della signoria dei Chiaromonte nella città di Palermo sulla scor…

Explaining the Inexplicable: Differences in Attributions for the Holocaust in Germany, Israel, and Poland
2016
Seventy years have passed since the Holocaust, but this cataclysmic event continues to reverberate in the present. In this research, we examine attributions about the causes of the Holocaust and the influence of such attributions on intergroup relations. Three representative surveys were conducted among Germans, Poles, and Israeli Jews to examine inter- and intragroup variations in attributions for the Holocaust and how these attributions influence intergroup attitudes. Results indicated that Germans made more external than internal attributions and were especially low in attributing an evil essence to their ancestors. Israelis and Poles mainly endorsed the obedient essence attribution and …
