Ricomporre i frammenti: Cronache del mal d’amore
2019
Nel suo saggio Ricomporre i frammenti: Cronache del mal d’amore di Elena Ferrante Claudia Carmina propone una lettura unitaria dei romanzi L’amore molesto, I giorni dell’abbandono e La figlia oscura, caratterizzati dalla condensazione della materia narrativa e da una grammatica dell’eccesso. Laddove il ciclo L’amica geniale ha un passo lento e fermo, che alterna pause distensive a improvvise accelerazioni, viceversa le vicende narrate in queste prime prove si esauriscono in un giro breve di tempo, scandito con precisione, ma sempre mosso dalle analessi e assediato dai vertiginosi ritorni di un passato perturbante. L’asse del racconto gravita, invariabilmente, intorno alla crisi e alla trasf…
At the Risk of Exaggerating : How Do Listeners React to Hyperbole?
2003
The intensive focus on the reception process of figures of speech, in terms of the psychological processes operated on their understanding, explains that nowadays a crucial limitation in figurative language theories is the production process of non-literal forms, as joint activities between speaker and hearer. Since the object of study has traditionally been the figurative sentence, either in isolation or in the context of an artificially constructed text, it is not surprising that the collaborative nature of figures has been overlooked. This paper focuses on hyperbole, a long neglected trope, despite its pervasive frequency of occurrence and co-occurrence with other tropes in everyday spee…
University Hospital Fire Disaster — Lessons to Learn
1995
Reports on hospital fire disasters are only rarely published in medical journals, and then only in journals dealing with fire fighting or hospital management. Blumenhagen found only two English language articles published between 1977 and 1987, according to which 24 500 severe events were registered in the USA, equalling three events per institution per year. However, only 30–40% of these events were reported to the fire department. In the USA only 11% of all registered events caused damage amounting to more than US$ 1 000 000.
The Bias toward the Right Side of Others Is Stronger for Hands than for Feet
2021
As shown by a series of previous studies, ambiguous human bodies performing unimanual or unipedal actions tend to be perceived more frequently as right-handed or right-footed rather than left-handed or left-footed, which indicates a perceptual and attentional bias toward the right side of others&rsquo
L’attualità della pedagogia delle arti di inizio Novecento in Est Europa. Gestaltung e Formenlehre come risorse per la didattica delle creatività fig…
2018
Le grandi innovazioni nel campo dell’elaborazione di forme e figure nel secolo scorso spesso hanno talvolta affiancato allo stupore e all’ottimismo della scoperta, un’incertezza metodologica condivisa con altri campi del Sapere. È innegabile quanto l’avvento ormai cinquantennale delle tecnologie informatiche a supporto della comunicazione e della rappresentazione – insieme ai cambiamenti socio-economici avvenuti – abbia posto le basi per un irreversibile salto ontologico nei processi di elaborazione della forma, eppure ancora molto spesso si riscontrano riferimenti storici che possono in qualche modo ispirare teorie e prassi attuali. In questo senso alcune letture ritenute classiche, da Val…
D’Annunzio e il teatro fuori dal teatro
2017
<p>At the origin of the two stage shows there is the idea of commemoration: September 11, the anniversary of the march on Ronchi, for <em>La Figlia di Iorio</em> to Vittoriale in 1927 and the homage to the Vate who has disappeared for a few months to represent <em>La Nave</em> in Venice in 1938; two different ways of celebrating and ritualising the event/theatre out of the theatre. And while in the first case, in a celebratory context he himself cared for, d’Annunzio became an enthusiastic promoter of a significant updating of the theatrical practice, in 1938 the regime finalised the event to an exaggeration of the duce’s politics in the lagoon marking a substa…
Vintage violence. La strana violenza del cinema di Losey
2015
Los textos sobre la violencia tienden a dar por sentado este concepto. En este artículo se intentará esbozar una definición semiótica a través de una breve relectura de algunos clásicos y de algunas entradas de vocabulario, para sugerir una caracterización de la violencia como dispositivo semiótico: una articulación de dos figuras diferentes de agresión («laceración»/«constricción») contra un umbral convencional. Esta hipótesis se desarrolla en el análisis de las películas de Joseph Losey, donde la violencia aparece de muchas formas, pero nunca llega a ser (con raras excepciones) totalmente explícita o espectacular. El artículo reconsidera el análisis de Gilles Deleuze en L’Image-Mouvement,…

"How to make a mountain out of a molehill": a corpus-based pragmatic and conversational analysis study of hyperbole in interation.
2006
Since antiquity figures have been widely studied within the framework of rhetoric, although contemporary rhetoric has tended to disregard their importance and relegate their study to the domain of literary criticism. However, since the 1980s, there has been a renewed interest in figurative language not only in literary studies, but also in other fields of research. Indeed, research on figuration has emerged as a new and distinct discipline, namely figurative language studies. However, within this framework, metaphor and irony have received the greatest attention, while other non-literal forms have been largely ignored. This is certainly the case of hyperbole, a long neglected trope despite …
Mapping the political toponymy of educational namescapes: A quantitative analysis of Romanian school names
2019
Abstract This study sets out to map the political toponymy of Romanian schooling network. Starting from the theoretical premise that national memory is toponymically inscribed, inter alia, on a series of public organizations that form an institutional namescape, the paper reads the Romanian historical memory through the looking glass of school names. Exhaustive data was collected for the Romanian secondary schools bearing a nominal identity (N = 2850). Data were analyzed in terms of the ethnic and gender distribution, the social (occupational), spatial, and historical structures of the Romanian educational namescape. Our findings reveal that the political toponymy of the Romanian schooling …
