Towards a Deeper Understanding of the Meaning of Male Beach Worker-Female Tourist Relationships on the Kenyan Coast
2017
<p>Knowledge and research on sexual-economic relationships between local men and Western female tourists in different touristic locations around the world has grown, as has public interest and awareness of the phenomenon. However, the direct perspectives of the men whose lives constitute the focus of such studies remain scarce. This has resulted in the phenomenon being understood mainly and inadequately through the concepts of 'romance tourism' and 'female sex tourism'. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Kenya's South Coast region, this article foregrounds the voices of male beach workers and the meanings they assign to these relationships, against a backdrop of the histori…

Agency and agentive prepositions in Late Latin
2011
I propose the results of an analysis whose object is the expression of the Agent by means of a prepositional phrase in Post-Classical and Late Latin passive constructions. My interest comprises both the prepositions used in Latin to encode the passive Agent (namely ab), and those constituting the bases for the development in the Romance languages (namely per and de). The analysis is based on the functional approach to Transitivity proposed by Hopper and Thompson 1980 and on Cognitive Grammar, specifically on Langaker 1991 and the various Luraghi’s works on prepositions and cases in ancient Indo-European languages.

Spaces of Liberation? Geo-Hermeneutical Reading of the New Women’s Novel in Jordan
2017
Contemporary feminist novelists in Jordan are raising issues of emancipation, patriarchal society, violence against women and social attitudes in unaccustomed ways unknown earlier in the country. This is embedded within the political and socio-economic developments taking place in the country since 1990. The main aim of this scenario is to explore and to re-think the space-gender nexus in the new women’s novel using geo-hermeneutical approaches.
Verb inflection in Ancient Greek and Sanskrit and auxiliation patterns in French and Italian. Forms, functions, system
2009
This paper deals with the complex interaction between form and function in the verb morphosyntax of four Indo-European languages (French, Italian, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit). Beyond the difference in form, auxiliation patterns in French and Italian, and verb inflections in Ancient Greek and Sanskrit correlate, thanks to the agreement for number and person, to the expression of the relationship with the Subject. The different auxiliation patterns (sum and habeo) and the different inflections (middle and active) correlate to different properties of the Subject. In particular, these forms depend on the syntactic opposition between middle and non-middle. The ways of this dependency are regulat…

L’elegia valenciana com a tòpic universal: la caiguda de València narrada des del Xarq al-Àndalus fins al romancer filipí
2016
Resum: Estudi de la formalització del concepte de València com a paradís perdut, des de la literatura àrab del Xarq al-Àndalus fins al romancer hispànic desenvolupat a l’arxipèlag filipí. S’hi analitza la conceptualització de l’elegia valenciana i el seu ús com a tòpic literari des de l’orient d’al-Àndalus fins a l’orient del món hispànic, explicant la formació del romancer filipí i la presència del Regne de València en les Lletres Filipines. S’hi estudien les elegies de la caiguda de la València islàmica a mans dels cristians, i com es formalitza una fascinació literària pel concepte de «València com a paradís», que s’exporta com a tòpic a una literatura asiàtica de base hispànica que té e…
