La Sicilia negli Orsi di Dino Buzzati e Lorenzo Mattotti
2022
Nella fiaba illustrata di Dino Buzzati La famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia (1945) e nella sua trasposizione filmica ad opera di Lorenzo Mattotti (2019) l’ambientazione siciliana è determinante. In entrambi i casi la Sicilia è un’isola con un grande vulcano – trasfigurata in un ambiente fantastico o riscritta secondo alcuni stereotipi – che i due autori utilizzano con accezioni diverse nella costituzione dell’ecosistema delle loro narrazioni. Soltanto attraverso una comparazione tra le due opere sarà possibile distinguere la rappresentazione delle due Sicilie che vengono raccontate con un intervallo di circa settanta anni. Se non si considera la storia degli Orsi soltanto una fiaba per…

Boosting Phonological Fluency Following Leftward Prismatic Adaptation: A New Neuromodulation Protocol for Neurological Deficits?
2020
Abstract Prism adaptation (PA) has been recently shown to modulate a brain frontal-parieto-temporal network, with an increase of excitation of this network in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the side of prismatic deviation. This effect raises the hypothesis that left prismatic adaptation, modulating the excitability of frontal areas of the left hemisphere, could modulate subjects’ performance on linguistic tasks that map on those areas.To test this hypothesis, sixty-one healthy subjects participated in experiments in which leftward, rightward or no-PA were applied before the execution of a phonological fluency task, i.e. a task with strict left hemispheric lateralization and mapping onto fron…
Acculturation profiles, psychosocial adaptation and perceived discrimination among Tunisian adolescents
2014
The study refers to data coming from the Italian section of MIRIPS project. It was focused on the analysis of the adaptation of Tunisian adolescents living in Italy and it was guided by the integration hypothesis, stating that migrants feel better if they are engaged in both their own culture and that of the larger society than if they engage in one or the other culture only. Using a person-oriented approach, the study investigated the relationships between acculturation profiles - namely patterns of relations between factors associated to the acculturation process (e.g., acculturation strategies, ethnic and national identities, ethnic and national language use, social contacts with people …
Loneliness and social adaptation in Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese and Italian children
2004
Background: Research on children's loneliness has been conducted mostly in Western, especially North American, cultures. The purpose of the study was to examine relations between loneliness and social adaptation among children and adolescents in four different societies. Methods: A total of 2263 children from grade 3 to grade 6, aged 9 to 12 years, in Brazil, Canada, P. R. China, and Southern Italy participated in the study. The participants completed a self-report measure of loneliness. Information about social behaviors and peer relationships was obtained from peer assessments. Results: Multi-group analyses revealed that the overall patterns of relations among social behaviors, peer re…
Shakespeare a part: Scenes of Translation in Jean-Luc Godard's Bande a part and the Nouvelle Vague
2018
The article explores the "otherness" of Shakespeare in some films of the nouvelle vague of the early sixties, and argues that this otherness is bound up with processes of cultural translation involving different kinds of movements (i.e., across cultures, languages as well as media boundaries
Shakespeare in the Extreme: Addiction, Ghosts and (Re)Mediation in Alexander Fodor’s Hamlet
2011
This article is an analysis of Fodor's filmic version of Hamlet as simultaneously reverent and irreverent toward the canonical status of the Bard. It shows how Hamlet is being recycled by being brought into contact with contemporary citational environments, from pop music to drug culture.
Multi-temporal and Multi-source Remote Sensing Image Classification by Nonlinear Relative Normalization
2016
Remote sensing image classification exploiting multiple sensors is a very challenging problem: data from different modalities are affected by spectral distortions and mis-alignments of all kinds, and this hampers re-using models built for one image to be used successfully in other scenes. In order to adapt and transfer models across image acquisitions, one must be able to cope with datasets that are not co-registered, acquired under different illumination and atmospheric conditions, by different sensors, and with scarce ground references. Traditionally, methods based on histogram matching have been used. However, they fail when densities have very different shapes or when there is no corres…
