La mappa di Clarke: l'altra storia di 2001
2009
Il saggio ripercorre la genesi di "2001: A Space Odissey": da un lato il film di Stanley Kubrick, dall'altro il romanzo di Arthur C. Clarke. Queste due odissee respingono le etichette: né adattamento, né novellizzazione, ma uno strano parto gemellare. Nei parti gemellari, è noto, il maggiore cede il passo al minore, ma resta pur sempre il primogenito. E il primogenito nel nostro caso - un'attenta rilettura delle fonti lo dimostra - è il romanzo.
Producing social mobility. Class and Travel in the Romanian Novel 1901-1932
2020
The present article addresses the Romanian novelistic production between 1901 and 1932 in the attempt of identifying a series of patterns regarding the protagonists’ social mobility. Starting with the most mentioned destinations throughout the novels, I analyse how and why the different social classes travel and try to determine the landmarks between which they dispute their physical presence, on the one hand, and their aspirations, on the other. On this basis, the second part of the article conducts a quantitative analysis of the major means of transport in the period – the train, the tramway, the coach/carriage, the automobile, the aeroplane, the ship, and the waggon – and attempts to pin…
The on-line curvilinear component analysis (onCCA) for real-time data reduction
2015
Real time pattern recognition applications often deal with high dimensional data, which require a data reduction step which is only performed offline. However, this loses the possibility of adaption to a changing environment. This is also true for other applications different from pattern recognition, like data visualization for input inspection. Only linear projections, like the principal component analysis, can work in real time by using iterative algorithms while all known nonlinear techniques cannot be implemented in such a way and actually always work on the whole database at each epoch. Among these nonlinear tools, the Curvilinear Component Analysis (CCA), which is a non-convex techni…

Developing hand-worn input and haptic support for real-world target finding
2019
Locating places in cities is typically facilitated by handheld mobile devices, which draw the visual attention of the user on the screen of the device instead of the surroundings. In this research, we aim at strengthening the connection between people and their surroundings through enabling mid-air gestural interaction with real-world landmarks and delivering information through audio to retain users' visual attention on the scene. Recent research on gesture-based and haptic techniques for such purposes has mainly considered handheld devices that eventually direct users' attention back to the devices. We contribute a hand-worn, mid-air gestural interaction design with directional vibrotacti…
Said davanti al romanzo: da Mansfield Park al Gattopardo
2013
L'interazione degli studi culturali con la letteratura è stata sempre complessa, sospesa tra sviluppi significativi e pregiudizi fuorvianti. E' possibile verificarlo analizzando alcuni tra gli studi letterari di Edward Said, in particolare quelli in cui il critico si misura con un archetipo del geand romanzo moderno, Mansfield Park di Jane Austen e con una sua celeberrima, tardiva e ingannevole ripresa, Il Gattopardo di Tomasi di Lampedusa. The essay deals with the relationship between Cultural Studies and literature has always been complex, characterized both by meaningful developments and by misleading prejudices; especially analyzing the studies dedicated by Edward Said, to Jane Austen’s…

Allusioni plautine ne «Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei» di Edward Bulwer-Lytton
2021
This note presents the summary and the analysis of citations, allusions and references to Plautus’s comedies in «The Last Days of Pompeii» by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. From the analysis here conducted it emerges that the English writer used Plautus for precise purposes, for ironic and satirical resolutions, appropriately contextualizing the allusions to Plautus within the plot of the novel.
