How hotel websites may discursively adjust to customer preferences using online criticism
2019
This paper explores discursive ways in which hotels may improve their own websites using online criticism to adjust to customer preferences. To this end, a combined method was used, consisting of a netnographic approach (Kozinet, 2010; Mkono, 2011, 2012) together with an interpersonal discourse framework (Hyland, 2008) applied to e-tourism genres (Suau-Jiménez, 2012, 2016). Four hotel websites, together with 200 corresponding negative reviews from TripAdvisor, were diachronically analyzed to identify common topics. Attitudinals were sough, being the core markers of online critiques, as well as boosters, acting as enhancing markers in hotel websites and paralleling criticized topics. Results…
¿Música o magia? La presentación de las ondas musicales de Maurice Martenot en España
2015
On 1928, the French musician Maurice Martenot presented at Paris Opera a new electronic musical instrument which he called musical waves. It had success like only a few and attracted the interest of the composers, Martenot strove to spread it with a initial tour that took it all around the world between 1931 and 1932. From the information given by the press –because there are not more references– this article aims to rebuild the presentation of the instrument in Spain all along 1932, to report about the reception by the review and to justify the mystery that involved the instrument because of its unknown electronic running and its performance only with the hands movement on the air.En 1928,…
Comparisons of two diaphragm ultrasound-teaching programs: a multicenter randomized controlled educational study
2019
Abstract Background This study aims to ascertain whether (1) an educational program is sufficient to achieve adequate Diaphragm Ultrasound (DUS) assessments on healthy volunteers and (2) combining a video tutorial with a practical session is more effective in making learners capable to obtain accurate DUS measurements, as opposed to sole video tutorial. Results We enrolledstep 1: 172 volunteers naïve to ultrasound. After watching a video tutorial, a questionnaire was administered and considered to be passed when at least 70% of the questions were correctly answered. Course participants who passed the theoretical test were randomized to either intervention or control group. Learners randomiz…
Strategie autofinzionali in "Leggenda privata" di Michele Mari
2019
Leggenda privata (2017) is the latest in a series of autobiographical writings by Michele Mari. The novel is the factual narration of the author's childhood and adolescence, documented by family photos, but is also the narration of a fictional and fantastic situation of writing, where the reader is involved in live recording. In particular, the narrative framework is structured almost like a personal essay that engages dialogically the norms and potentials, opportunities and risks of a theory of autobiography. The purpose of this article is to explore the limits, the difficulties, indeed the impossibility of autobiographical writing in Leggenda Privata, which instead verges towards a comple…
Mai ali che volano alto
2011
Cosa succede quando due studiosi del linguaggio dànno inizio a un inarrestabile gioco di parole a distanza? Il libro è il frutto di un serrato scambio a due voci. Una raccolta di tic verbali, calembours, doppi sensi e aforismi. Un modo di interrogarsi sui sistemi attraverso cui la nostra attenzione si scontra con la realtà di ogni giorno, resistendo e talvolta producendo improvvise impennate che sfociano nel doppio senso e nell'ironia più tagliente.
Ismail Kadare tra la verità dell'arte e l'inganno della realtà (parte seconda)
2016
L'opera narrativa di Ismail Kadare è tra le più importanti della letteratura contemporanea albanese. L'analisi condotta nel saggio ne illumina il percorso e ne rintraccia le influenze in un quadro epistemologico comparato e allo scopo di differenziarla dalla cosiddetta prassi del realismo socialista. Ismail Kadare's narrative work is among the most important in contemporary Albanian literature. The analysis conducted in the essay illuminates its path and traces its influences in a comparative epistemological framework and in order to differentiate it from the so-called praxis of socialist realism.
Gli "scartafacci" di Attilio Bertolucci". Edizione critica
Il lavoro di ricerca condotto da Luciano Longo, su un gruppo di testi inediti di Attilio Bertolucci -stesi tra 1930 e 1940 e conservati presso l’Archivio di Stato di Parma- si è svolto sul doppio fronte della realizzazione di un’edizione critica secondo l’ecdotica tradizionale e, insieme, di un’edizione critica digitale secondo la codifica in XML (eXtensible Markup Language)-TEI (Text Encoding Iniative). Oltre a tali inediti, la tesi esamina pure -con la finalità di creare il corpus poetico degli anni Trenta- tutti i nuovi testimoni delle poesie edite intorno a quegli anni che la Palli Baroni non ha preso in considerazione nella sua edizione critica del 1997. La tesi di Longo, oltre a esser…
