Les enjeux cognitifs et linguistiques du sujet parlant plurilingue en néoténie linguistique : le cas du locuteur chypriote-grec
2019
It is not realistic to claim that a speaker can use a language perfectly or that he /she has an excellent knowledge of whichever language, like many speakers like to claim when asked. It is true that a speaker may have some excellent linguistic skills, however cognitively speaking, this doesn’t say much. The cognitive relations that we maintain with the world’s languages are far beyond the linguistic dimension, excessively found in textbooks. Speaking a language means being able to exist in that language, in the sense that our being is there registered. We are led by our linguistic intuition to express ourselves and we do it spontaneously with respect to each language’s boundaries. However,…
Entre la realidad y la ficción, la razón y la locura: el drama coral como terapia individual y social
2017
Desde la función política de la tragedia griega, las diferentes formas dramáticas occidentales han asumido de manera más o menos explícita unas funciones del espectáculo dramático que integran bajo distintas acepciones la pretendida kátharsis aristotélica, en ocasiones para rechazarla y evitarla, que incluso van más allá del prodesse et delectare horaciano, tendiendo hacia una función terapéutica individual y social en unas formas dramáticas de elevado trasfondo coral en las que los límites entre realidad y ficción, entre cordura y locura se difuminan hasta llegar a confundirse, en las que la llamada “cuarta pared” deja de existir. El objeto de este trabajo es realizar un breve recorrido po…
On deictic motion verbs in Homeric Greek
2017
This paper investigates the basic motion verbs ‘go’ and ‘come’ in Homeric Greek. In particular, it aims to examinewhether the deictic component,which is usually ascribed to the inherent semantic meaning of these verbs cross–linguistically, has to be considered as a prototypical semantic property of εἶμι ‘go’ and βαίνω ‘step; go; come’. These latter can indeed take a deictic interpretation at a pragmatic, syntactic or discourse level, but I will show how the deictic component is not inherently associated with their lexical semantics. Data from the contexts of use of these verbs, in both narrative discourse and direct speech, strongly suggest that the original semantic opposition between ‘go’…
Italian and Spanish Students Perception on Use of Technology in Classrooms of Classics in Secondary School
2019
A society that is becoming increasingly digital must explore new ways of learning. In fact, digital technologies have an impact on the education through the development of more flexible learning environments adapted to the needs of a high-mobility society. To prepare future citizens to the needs of the digital labor market, recent educational reforms in Italy and Spain focused their attention on students' Digital Competences. Therefore, we are interested in probing how students of classical studies in Italian and Spanish high schools perceive the use of new technologies in the classroom. It is important to investigate classics at school, because traditionally this program is perceived as le…
Platone e gli Eleati (II)
2017
Si cerca di mostrare che le tendenze eleatiche erano molto diffuse nell´ Atene del IV secolo, probabilmente nella stessa Accademia e che Platone ha scritto Sofista e Parmenide essenzialmente contro i Megarici Plato gives two constrasting accounts of Zeno's philosophical purposes in the Phaedrus and Parmenides. The Parmenides is more accurate in detail, and consequently it is more probable that Zeno intended to defend Parmenides' teaching, as he is represented as doing in this dialogue, than to accumulate eristic contradictions for their own sake, as he is represented as doing in the Phaedrus. Plato seems to be aware that one of the main features of Socratism, dialectic reasoning, originates…
Unraveling the Complexity of Tourist Experience with NFC Technology and Mobile Wallets
2014
By considering the tourist experience as a complex dynamic system, in this paper we depict the traveler as a kybernetes (κυβeρνήτης is the ancient Greek word for ‘sea captain’, ‘steersman’, or ‘governor’) in search of powerful tools to help him or her to obtain directions in the mare magnum of complexity, overcoming the fear of action and taking decisions. We focus our attention on the key role of Near Field Communication technology and mobile wallet as ‘attenuators of complexity’ in the travel and tourism industry.
Le suppellettili liturgiche dell'Eparchia di Piana degli Albanesi
2007
Il saggio analizza le suppellettili liturgiche d'argento dell'Eparchia di Piana degli Albanesi esposte alla mostra "Tracce d'Oriente", per lo più realizzate da argentieri palermitani del XVIII e XIX secolo. Le opere della liturgia greco-albanese vengono messe a confronto con quelle utilizzate per le celebrazioni di rito latino. The essay analyzes the silver liturgical furnishings of the Eparchy of Piana degli Albanesi exhibited at the exhibition "Tracce d'Oriente", mostly made by silversmiths from Palermo in the 18th and 19th centuries. The works of the Greek-Albanian liturgy are compared with those used for the Latin rite celebrations.

Travestirsi per Dioniso
2020
Starting from the definition of “performativity” and “gender parody” developed by Judith Butler, this paper aims to investigate the performative functions of male cross-dressing within the dynamics of social categorization in classical Athens. For this purpose I have adopted an eclectic hermeneutic toolbox, borrowing elements from Harvey Sacks’ Membership Categorization Analysis to René Girard’s scapegoat theory. Through the philological analysis of some literary representations of transvestism, such as Pentheus’ cross-dressing in Euripides’ "Bacchae", and the anthropological interpretation of the mythical-ritual complex relating to the effeminacy of Dionysus, my work focuses on the polyval…
'Graeci sumus et hoc nobis gloriae accedit'. La grecità salentina di Antonio Galateo
