Introduction : spaces of upset in the Nordic region
2022
Abstract This introductory article opens the thematic issue Spaces of Upset in the Nordic Region. It introduces the contributions of the issue, outlines the concepts that unite them, and discusses the sociolinguistic area in which they are set: the Nordic region. Centering on Denmark, Finland and Sweden, the article offers an overview of some of the sociolinguistic, ideological and political characteristics of the region and the countries it comprises. The Nordic region is widely seen as a paradigm case of social stability, consensus and cohesion. This vision is, however, a mirage. To be sure, upset often lingers below the discursive veneer of Nordic harmony, concord and agreement. Breaking…
(Re) producció, traducció i manipulació. Qüestions d'identitat i localització en un context valencià
2006
The question of identity in Valencian Catalan writing is necessarily linked bothnto the language model («model de llengua») followed by authors in original works and in translation, and to the dialogue of this model with actual local varieties. This articlenapproaches the question from the perspective of ideology in discourse, namely thenconstruction of a dialectics of belonging or not belonging, Us and Them, that is atnwork in any linguistic element and at all levels of language. In my discussion of such dialectics of cultural articulation and self-translation I present several examples of recontextualization with relevant ideological implications: intralinguistic translation between conte…
A vueltas con la traducción en el siglo XXI
2009
El concepto de traducción ha cambiado muchísimo durante las últimas décadas: hemos pasado de la equivalencia absoluta a la ampliación de la definición de este campo hasta límites a veces insospechados. Y es que, efectivamente, la traducción es siempre reflejo del tipo de sociedad que la genera, así que no es de extrañar que una cultura como la occidental, contradictoria, híbrida, enriquecida por las migraciones pero también cargada de problemas por los choques interculturales, ofrezca una definición de traducción que es ahora un proceso nunca neutro y éticamente complejo. Las distintas teorías contemporáneas ayudan mucho a reflexionar sobre todo ello, y reflejan las elecciones que como trad…
Rethinking translation in the 21st century
2009
In the latest decades the concept of translation has dramatically changed: we have gone from absolute equivalence to a widening of the definition of this field which sometimes reaches unforeseen limits. Translation certainly reflects the kind of society which produces it and, thus, it is hardly surprising that a culture like the western one – contradictory, hybrid and enriched thanks to migration but at the same time burdened with problems arising from cross-cultural clashes – offers a definition of translation as a never-neutral and ethically-complex process. The different current theories provide much help when pondering over these issues and reflect the choices which we, translators, con…
Tommaso Stanislao Velasti e il filellenismo di fine Settecento
2022
The work of the Greek Jesuit originally from Scio, Tommaso Stanislao Velasti, constitutes a compendium of the philhellenic ideology which, starting from the second half of the eighteenth century, influenced the irredentist processes which in 1821 led Greece to proclaim its independence from the Sublime Porte. In his research path, Velasti was lucky enough to come across the works of Albanian intellectuals from Sicily, at whose Palermo seminar he was able to dwell in the crucial years of his ideological turning point. The study of some fundamental documents that emerged from the archive of the Seminary founded by Fr. Giorgio Guzzetta highlighted the filiation of fundamental ideas of identity…
F.A. Wolf, la scienza dell’antichità e noi: come possiamo uscire dal XIX secolo?
2011
International audience; Wolf’s historical-philological Altertumswissenschaft was an academic knowlegde helpful to the State because of its space and time limits, its methods and rhetoric, his idea of the Ancients as a mirror of modern ideals. The present crisis of this paradigm can be related to State’s decline and to modern globalisation, then to the development of fragmented research fields. This development isolated scholars from society and strengthened the problem of the meaning of studies. We can find a possible meaning of these studies for example: 1) by writing the history of the non-violent fights, 2) by trying the counterfactual history or the countertextual writing, examining the…

Shame and Desire: A Reading of Gozzano’s La Signorina Felicita
2012
La lettura del poemetto La signorina Felicita studia il nesso tra vergogna e desiderio come accesso privilegiato alla poesia di Gozzano, se non in generale alla cultura poetica del primo Novecento. L’analisi dei suoi nuclei tematici (il personaggio di Felicita, Villa Amarena e gli oggetti che la popolano, il ‘coro borghese’ che condivide questo spazio con i due protagonisti) e della sua genealogia letteraria (Jammes e Nerval in particolare), condotta in una prospettiva formale e psicanalitica, conduce a identificare le condizioni di coesistenza tra vergogna e desiderio, e il ruolo che gioca la forma poetica come sostituto dell’Oggetto.
Journalistic Autonomy as a Professional Value and Element of Journalism Culture: The European Perspective
2017
The current combination of economic recession and info-technological revolution is drastically affecting the working environment of journalists and challenging their autonomy more than ever. This article focuses on how journalists in specific European countries perceive professional autonomy and analyzes the various factors that affect such autonomy. Continuity and discontinuity in journalism cultures are factors that can help us to understand the barriers to media independence and the occupational freedom of journalists. Periods of political and economic instability or crisis can bring about a break down in professional values, the loss of whole journalistic communities, and abrupt changes…
How Chinese Auditors' Relativistic Ethical Orientations Influence Their Love of Money
2013
Love of Money (LMOS) theory is well developed and widely used in studying people’s beliefs about money (Luna-Arocas & Tang 2004). This study examines the views of 612 Chinese auditors and establishes that the ideological positions adopted influence how they regard money and that these positions are related to underlying cultural norms. Forsyth’s (1980) EPQ is used to establish a viable model, which establishes that relativism strongly influences Chinese auditors” attitudes towards money and has important implications in terms of the impact on the accounting profession in that rapidly growing nation. peerReviewed
