Outline of a sociology of translation informed by the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu
2010
In this article I put forward a sociology of translation informed by the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu. Founded on a theory of action, this theory may be defined as a theory of translation practice. Translation practice is examined here through the study of the translation of symbolic goods, specifically American literature into French. The notions of ‘field’, ‘habitus’ and ‘illusio’ are briefly analysed and applied to American literature in French. The habitus of Marcel Duhamel and Maurice-Edgar Coindreau are examined, as well as the illusio specific to the science-fiction field. Bourdieusian sociology serves as a foundation for raising questions that are often discussed in translation studies …
The dry stone wall of 'Paretone dei Greci': an anthracological approach
2011
International audience; Dry stone constructions are a common occurrence in many Mediterranean landscapes. One of these structures known as "Paretone dei Greci" (Taranto, Southern Italy), was subject to an archaeological investigation. Soil and sediment material within this wall, as well as those above and below it, were sampled and processed for archaeobotanical studies. In this manner it was possible to understand its building technique as well as giving it a chronological context. Through an anthracological analysis it was possible to insert the "Paretone" within the surrounding agricultural landscape, thus better highlighting its function in relation to the history of the territory

Upper limit on the cosmic-ray photon flux above 1019 eV using the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
2008
A method is developed to search for air showers initiated by photons using data recorded by the surface detector of the Auger Observatory. The approach is based on observables sensitive to the longitudinal shower development, the signal risetime and the curvature of the shower front. Applying this method to the data, upper limits on the flux of photons of 3.8 x 10-3, 2.5 x 10-3; and 2.2 x 10-3 km-2 sr-1 yr-1 above 1019 eV, 2 x 1019 eV; and 4 x 1019 eV are derived, with corresponding limits on the fraction of photons being 2.0%, 5.1%, and 31% (all limits at 95% c.l.). These photon limits disfavor certain exotic models of sources of cosmic rays. The results also show that the approach adopted…
The exposure of the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
2010
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It consists of a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level and a fluorescence detector to measure the development of air showers in the atmosphere above the array. The ‘‘hybrid” detection mode combines the information from the two subsystems. We describe the determination of the hybrid exposure for events observed by the fluorescence telescopes in coincidence with at least one water-Cherenkov detector of the surface array. A detailed knowledge of the time dependence of the detection operations is crucial for an accurate evaluation of the exposure. We discuss the relevance of monitoring data coll…
Venetsian biennaali kuvataiteen kansainvälisen kentän portinvartijana ja Suomen osallistumisen problematiikka
2008
Omassa Pro gradu -tutkielmassani pureudun Suomen ja suomalaisten taiteilijoiden osallistumiseen Venetsian nykytaiteen biennaaliin, sekä siinä vallitsevaan problematiikkaan kasvavan kulttuuriviennin aikana. Seuraan mukanaolon kehitystä ja jalostumista nykyiselle tasolleen, tuoden esille sen ongelmia ja toisaalta mahdollisuuksia. Kansallisella kuvataiteen kentällä Venetsian biennaaliin osallistumiselle annetaan paljon painoarvoa, koska biennaali on yksi nykytaiteen tärkeimmistä reiteistä kansainvälisyyteen. Ongelmat eivät kuitenkaan ole pelkästään kansallisia, johtuen Suomen yhteisesiintymisestä Norjan ja Ruotsin kanssa. Tutkimuskysymyksiäni ovat: Miten määrittyy kansalliselle toimijalle bien…
Boudon contre Bourdieu : d'où viennent les inégalités scolaires ?
2023
C’est une des polémiques, les plus célèbres de la sociologie française. Pierre Bourdieu et Jean-Claude Passeron expliquent les inégalités sociales à l’école par l’héritage culturel, quand Raymond Boudon considère qu’elles résultent de choix individuels dans une société inégale. Que valent ces explications un demi-siècle plus tard ?

Finte Pietre. Architettura dell'apparire e conservazione dei valori culturali
2012
Il volume presenta gli esiti di una ricerca incentrata sulla conoscenza delle finiture architettoniche di pietra artificiale, con particolare attenzione agli intonaci brevettati nel 1901 dai fratelli Li Vigni. Le attività di studio sono condotte attraverso la ricognizione dei documenti conservati presso l’Archivio Centrale dello Stato a Roma, e compiono una rigorosa selezione e analisi dei brevetti con l’obiettivo di tracciare il percorso evolutivo dei metodi d’intonacatura ed evidenziare i legami che s’instaurano tra le ricerche in corso nei diversi paesi. Nel XIX secolo i ricercatori di molte nazionalità avviano una selezione critica delle ricette tramandate dal passato e perfezionano pro…
