Social comparison processes, narrative mapping and their shaping of the cancer experience: a case study of an elite athlete.

2011

Drawing on data generated by life history interviews and fieldwork observations we illuminate the ways in which a young elite athlete named David (a pseudonym) gave meaning to his experiences of cancer that eventually led to his death. Central to this process were the ways in which David utilized both social comparisons and a narrative map provided by the published autobiography of Lance Armstrong (2000). Our analysis reveals the selective manner in which social comparison processes operated around the following key dimensions: mental attitude to treatment; the sporting body; the ageing body; and physical appearance. The manner in which different comparison targets were chosen, the ways in…

Narrating ambivalence of maternal responsibility

2007

Early motherhood and caring for the infant involve a moral ambiguity that is related to the questions of responsibility and vulnerability. By means of the ethics of care, motherhood can be understood as belonging to the moral domain, as relational, and as linked with everyday social situations. The culturally dominant narratives of ‘good mothering’ easily naturalise and normatise maternal agency. This study illustrates the process of adopting responsibility for the infant and the moral ambivalence that is inscribed in early maternal care. The data consist of four interview sessions with each of seven first-time mothers conducted during pregnancy and the first post-natal year. The interview…

Spat' chocetsja e The Child-Who-Was-Tired: procedimenti e tecniche narrative a confronto

2019

Il saggio mira a comparare le tecniche narrative di due racconti: Spat' chocetsja di A. Cechov e The Child-Was-tired di K. Mansfield. L'articolo prende in esame l'impiego di alcune tecniche narrative, simili e differenti, elaborate dai due scrittori al fine di enucleare l'originalità delle due opere. L'analisi di focalizza principalmente su tre elementi ricorrenti delle due narrazioni: la strada, le due eroine, gli infanticidi, al fine di sottolineare i contenuti ideologici e i molteplici significati simbolici.

From stage to brain: Montage as a new principle of scientific narrative

2013

German Dadaists, Italian and Russian Futurists and Constructivists created in their experiments multi-medial orthopedic bodies as products of collage and montage. Sergei Eisenstein, who was influenced by these experiments, organized his theatrical productions as a chain of independent fragments capable of entering any possible combination/recombination and labelled this method “montage of attractions”. He used the same montage principle not only for a new theatrical or cinematic narrative but also to conceptualize the expressive movement of the theatrical or cinematic body created on stage and on screen. Finally he conceptualized montage not only as a means of conveying movement, but also o…

Incorporazione non riduttiva ed autoreferenzialità causale. Note per una concezione realista del sé nella teoria della coscienza di Antonio Damasio e…

2008

La critica al sostanzialismo ed al solipsismo cartesiani e l'elaborazione di una concezione naturalista ed antisostanzialista della mente hanno storicamente comportato, da David hume al funzionalismo ed alle scienze cognitive contemporanee, l'affermarsi di un atteggiamento eliminativista nei confronti del sè quale si dà ad esempio nella "narrative view" di Daniel Dennett e nella teoria della mente estesa di David Chalmers ed Andy Clark. Scopo di questo saggio è argomentare che la connessione essenziale tra mente e individualità può sopravvivere alla crisi del paradigma cartesiano mediante una rilettura del sè come processo causalmente reale e biologicamente incorporato quale si evince dalla…

Karta z kalendarza, czyli wspomnienie o Gdyni

2022

On September 23, 1922, the Legislative Sejm of the Republic of Poland passed an act on the creation of the port in Gdynia. The resolution was a confirmation of the will of the Polish nation, which, although in the Treaty of Versailles, received access to the Baltic Sea, but without a port, which was necessary for the development of the state. Bearing in mind this important and round anniversary, the authors of the article decided to recall the most important circumstances and figures related to the construction of the port and the city of Gdynia. The article contains a historical outline of Gdynia, reminding that the first historical mention of it dates back to 1253. However, a lot of space…

Storie, malgrado tutto. Per una teoria dell'autopatografia

2022

L’idea di narrazione che intendo proporre per schizzare una possibile teoria delle storie di malattia (illness narrative), è quella di una teoria che cerca di pensarle malgrado tutto. Malgrado, in prima istanza, la teoria letteraria e in particolare la narratologia che hanno preteso di dirci tutto sul funzionamento delle narrazioni, malgrado il silenzio e il mutismo che spesso abita le storie di malattia, malgrado l’illu- sione – certo rafforzata dalla psicologia dopo Jerome Bruner che ha connesso il Sé alla narrazione – che le storie possano rappresentare, incarnare, esprimere tutto il Sé, tutta una persona, tutta una vita.

Narrativa dei Caraibi nel nuovo millennio

2020

L’etichetta “Letterature franco-caraibica” utilizzata, per convenzione, dalla critica per indicare unitariamente la produzione letteraria in lingua francese della regione centrale del Continente americano è assai impropria. La regione dei Caraibi abbraccia, infatti, sia alcune delle isole dell’arcipelago delle Piccole Antille (Martinica, Guadalupa), sia l’isola di Haïti, che fa parte delle Grandi Antille, che la Guiana incastonata sulla costa orientale dell’America meridionale. Pur nella diversità dei movimenti ideologici e degli avvenimenti storici che si sono succeduti nella regione, le opere letterarie degli scrittori caraibici francofoni, nel loro insieme, hanno oscillato, e continuano …

The definition "Franco-Caribbean Literature" used by convention from the critique to indicate all the literary production in French of the central region of the American continent is very improper. The Caribbean region includes in fact the islands of Martinique Guadeloupe Haïti and the Guiana. Despite the diversity of ideological movements and historical events that took place in these countries the literary works of the Caribbean writers have fluctuated and continue to oscillate between two tendencies: that of rooting in tradition and that of escape from it. The writers show themselves open to comparison and dialogue with other literary and cultural traditions in order to create a narrative form that corresponds to the many inheritances of those composite populations. Here the cultural syncretism that has been created allows to recognize a common identity in the name of all that the West wanted to extinguish. The common denominator seems to be inverted in the contradictory result of courageous but dangerous encounters of curiosities that can lead to conflicts to exclusions.
