Posting for Consensus, Sharing Consensus. The Case of Migrants on Facebook, Ideological Views and Echo Chambers
2018
This study analyses posts and comments on a popular social network (Facebook) in order to investigate how web-users take advantage of participative platforms to post ideologically-driven comments, and how the exchanges create echo chambers. In particular, the study addresses populism expressed in online debates concerning migrants and used as a pretext to show group identities and ideologies. Facebook is thus taken as an example and considered a participatory platform (Boyd 2014) of political (populist) activism and the milieu for consensus-finding. The dialogic structure of comments is studied within Conversation Analysis adapted to online written texts (Antaki et al. 2005; Giles et al. 20…
I will not serve: la Stilistica dei Corpora e A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man di James Joyce.
2016
Questo manuale non aspira a fornire un quadro esaustivo della Stilistica dei Corpora, ma a proporre oltre che una sintesi dei più recenti studi sull'argomento, un'ipotesi di lettura di alcuni aspetti di un classico della letteratura di lingua inglese, A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man dello scrittore irlandese James Joyce, sovente inserito nei programmi universitari degli studenti di lingua e letteratura inglese. Essendo la bibliografia critica sul romanzo joyciano piuttosto generosa e sempre in progress, si è cercato di adottare un corpus-based approach, ovvero di partire da orientamenti già consolidati per la formazione di nuove prospettive di lettura. Lo scopo è altresì quello di f…
Subjectivity on the Web: The Case of Social Networks and the H1N1 emergency
2010
Blogs are extensively used for personal accounts and news reports. In particular, health blogs can be considered as both information sources and communication channels be- tween Science and Society, since they face the growing need for information among non-insiders. This study is concerned with the dimension of reality portrayed in blog comment en- tries; focusing particularly on participants'' representation of facts and their commit- ment to the truth of the proposition. The framework for this study has been shaped by the typologies in Chafe (1986), Willett (1988), Van der Auwera and Plungian (1998), Plungian (2001), Marìn (2002, 2004). Data are taken from three health and science we- bl…
Accessible film festivals: a pilot study
2020
This work provides an overview of the state of accessibility at film festivals all over the world, identifies its selected audiences and also encourages innovative solutions in relation to linguistic and technical issues emerged during the processes of subtitling. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 has resulted in many film festivals all over the world being either cancelled, postponed or moved to online platforms. What has arisen is the question whether and to what extent people with sensorial disabilities, in particular deaf and hard-of-hearing and blind and visually impaired people, have been left behind or have been part of projects of inclusion. The accessibility of forms of…
English for Nurses: Needs Analysis and Syllabus
2021
In recent years, health profession degree courses entirely taught in English have become more and more frequent in Italy. Among these degree courses, the Associate Degree in Nursing has gradually spread in Italy since nursing is a profession that is highly required all over the world. As a matter of fact, Nursing is a profession that requires much specialized clinical competences and advanced communication skills (Schmidt 2003; Collins, 2005). From a linguistic standpoint, nurses have been defined as a sort of ‘communication broker’ (Bourhis et al. , 1989) becoming linguistic mediators between doctors and patients (Garone & Van de Craen, 2017) since they have both to understand the doct…
Framing diversity in teen drama: Streaming series as a case study for social and discursive constructions.
2023
Concepts of inclusivity and diversity are socially and discursively constructed through a variety of contexts, including televisual/streaming series. Undoubtedly, televisual/streaming products strongly impact how individuals (especially younger generations; Trudgill 1986, Bednarek 2017) are exposed to and have experience with construed situations, since they broaden the range of different positions in contexts. In fact, certain themes are problematized in dramas and are successively negotiated in dialogues, favoring different viewpoints and attitudes. In ongoing screen interactions, therefore, the audience participates in the enactment and alignment of meanings that challenge the different …
The Role of the Creative Industries: Translating Identities on Stages and Visuals
2018
Drawing on research on narrative theory (Baker, 2006, 2014) in translation and interpretation studies, on the interdisciplinary relationship between translation studies and the visual and performing arts, and on the principal diversities between media discourse representations and aesthetic constructions on the topic of the migration crisis, this study addresses the issue of transferring cultural difference and language diversity within public and digital spaces through the telling and visualization of authentic stories belonging to migrant people, which contribute to the reversal of anti-refugee media discourses. Against the lens of a political reframing of migrant communities in the arts,…
Intercultural Aspects of Specialized Translation The Language of Traditional Chinese Medicine in a Globalized Context
2022
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a very ancient history and its importance for human health has long been acknowledged worldwide. The significant role that TCM plays in the global healthcare system has been officially recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), which devoted a chapter to TCM in the 2019 latest version of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11). TCM, alone or in combination with Western Medicine (WM), has been recommended for various health conditions (Aung et al., 2013; Cai et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2015) – including mild COVID-19-related symptoms (Zhao et al. 2021). As a result of globalization, which has fostered th…
Prefazione alla versione italiana
2022
Tradurre e scrivere sono processi mentali e linguistici estremamente diversi, sebbene le due attività richiedano entrambe conoscenze, impegno e dedizione. Scrivere significa portare alla luce concetti e significati nuovi, mentre tradurre significa trasportare concetti e significati già scritti, da una lingua ad un’altra. Quando abbiamo pensato di intraprendere un progetto di ricerca e di studio quale è una traduzione, ci siamo chieste cosa ci sarebbe piaciuto tradurre e ci siamo imbattute nel testo Formare allo Yoga contemporaneo: trasformare il corpo, la mente e l’anima. Io, Barbara, in quanto docente di inglese nel Corso di Studi in Scienze Motorie dell’Università di Palermo, e io, Franca…

Le storie proibite sono le uniche che valga la pena di leggere, o così avrebbe potuto dire Oscar Wilde. Ma cosa c'è nella storia che suggerisce l'idea del segreto o del proibito? E per quale motivo le autrici contemporanee dovrebbero mostrare un siffatto fervore nel riscriverle? Negli ultimi decenni del ventesimo secolo e nei primi anni del nuovo millennio si è registrata una crescita della narrativa storica nella produzione delle donne: Margaret Atwood, Antonia S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Tracy Chevalier, Margaret Forster, Valerie Martin, Tony Morrison, Michèle Roberts, Katie Roiphe, Adhaf Soueif, Sarah Waters, Jeanette Winterson e molte altre [...] hanno fatto della storia, del coinvolgiment…
