Mondiale ma non troppo
2020
La Storia mondiale dell’Italia costituisce un’interessante sperimentazione di scrittura in chiave non piu nazionale della storia (o delle storie) della penisola. Priva, volutamente, di una logica narrativa, si pone l’obiettivo di reperire, nel passato lontano, o lontanissimo, e recente, quanti piu spunti possibili di costruzione dell’Italia come oggetto culturale fino all’emergere recente dell’idioma nazionale, e dell’Italiano come tipologia o carattere. Si nota che lo spazio entro cui si attivano questi meccanismi, una volta gettato lo sguardo fuori dalla penisola, e si il mondo, ma e molto di piu l’Europa.
Improving Irony and Stereotype Spreaders Detection using Data Augmentation and Convolutional Neural Network
2022
In this paper we describe a deep learning model based on a Data Augmentation (DA) layer followed by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The proposed model was developed by our team for the Profiling Irony and Stereotype Spreaders (ISSs) task proposed by the PAN 2022 organizers. As a first step, to classify an author as ISS or not (nISS), we developed a DA layer that expands each sample in the dataset provided. Using this augmented dataset we trained the CNN. Then, to submit our predictions, we apply our DA layer on the samples within the unlabeled test set too. Finally we fed our trained CNN with the augmented test set to generate our final predictions. To develop and test our model we us…
Ciència i literatura. Ja han acabat les guerres entre les dues cultures?
2014
Des que l’alquímia va començar a desafiar l’autoritat de l’Església, l’estatus del coneixement científic especialitzat i de l’alta cultura, sempre relatiu, ha estat molt qu?estionat. Durant segles, els escriptors, com a adalils de la cultura, han atacat les pretensions de la ciència ridiculitzant els seus practicants bé com a éssers malvats, obsessius i fins i tot alienats o bé com a ximples i ineptes inventors els experiments dels quals fallen irremissiblement. Discutirem exemples d’ambdós models en el seu context històric. A les acaballes del segle XX apareix un nou gènere, conegut com a «literatura de laboratori» (lab-lit). Els científics s’hi veuen retratats no segons els estereotips si…
Coming out comparative report. Gender-stereotyped jobs and gender-based identities in the school-to-work transition
2019
Coming out comparative report presenta los principales resultados obtenidos por la parte cualitativa del proyecto de investigación "Free to choose". Se encuentran evidencias obtenidas en los 4 países involucrados acerca de la influencia de los estereotipos de género en la transición escuela trabajo. La persistencia de los estereotipos de género es emerge claramente tanto en las narrativas juveniles, como en los discursos de los educadores y orientadores que con ellos trabajan. Sin embargo, se aprecian intentos de tomar decisiones más libres de tradiciones y convenciones, sobre todo en países como Espña y Portugal. Free to choose JUST/2015/RGENAG/ROLE/9717 Free to Choose (FtC) is an EU-funde…
Opinions about people with schizophrenia among medical students: Findings from an Italian cross-sectional study.
2020
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that stigmatisation toward people with schizophrenia (PWS) is common among healthcare professionals and represents a major barrier to care. Aim: The study aimed at comparing the opinions about PWS among Italian medical students at different stages of education. Methods: Study participants were 234 medical students, attending either the first three-years pre-clinical or the following three-years clinical stage. Participants read an unlabelled case-vignette of schizophrenia and completed the Opinions on Mental Illness Questionnaire. Results: A greater proportion of students at the clinical stage identified schizophrenia in the clinical description, c…
ENTREACTO / ENTR?ACTE Un film / A Film Chopin y los Sand, amor a cuatro bandas. Aproximación a la esfera privada de Fryderyk Chopin a partir de la pe…
2021
Two centuries later, the legend Chopin-Sand continues to supply the collective imaginary with vague readings, where historical truthfulness, let alone musical truth, is often contingent on the literary. The much discussed and bellicose romance between the Polish composer and the French novelist, George Sand, tends to some reductionism and evades an obvious reality: Fryderyk Chopin meets George Sand when she was already the mother of two children. This circumstance suggests reformulating certain romantic stereotypes. Jerzy Antczak?s biographical film Pragnienie Mi?o?ci (Chopin: Desire for Love, 2002) does not overlook this detail and makes it one of its narrative axes. The relationship betwe…
La dirección orquestal y su dimensión social: hacia la inclusión de la mujer
2022
Por influencia de las teorías freudianas suele decirse que, en el contexto de una orquesta, la batuta representa la virilidad, al ser un elemento usado única y exclusivamente por quien ostenta el liderazgo de aquella. El director, batuta en mano, se transforma en un mediador entre el conjunto musical, la obra y el público. Sin embargo, esta analogía únicamente funciona a nivel de recepción musical y social cuando estamos ante un líder varón. El presente artículo analiza con perspectiva de género el rol del director de orquesta partiendo de su origen, como figura que surge en el siglo XIX y evoluciona hasta la actualidad. En concreto se exponen los resultados de una investigación cuyo objeti…
Concepts, proto-concepts, and shades of reasoning in neural networks
2019
One of the most important functions of concepts is that of producing classifications; and since there are at least two different types of such things, we better give a preliminary short description of them both. The first kind of classification is based on the existence of a property common to all the things that fall under a concept. The second, instead, relies on similarities between the objects belonging to a certain class A and certain elements of a subclass AS of A, the so-called ‘stereotypes.’ In what follows, we are going to call ‘proto-concepts’ all those concepts whose power of classification depends on stereotypes, leaving the term ‘concepts’ for all the others. The main aim of th…
Co-educar la mirada contra los estereotipos de género en TV
2008
TV serials analyzed in this paper show a representation of stereotyped gender. These cultural products, despite its apparent modernity, reproduce inequalities in the representation of the feminine and masculine through gender stereotypes which are sexist models for the construction of gender identity among its young viewers. Besides, a gender and co-education approach for an audiovisual alphabetization should be a good way against inequality. Se analizan en este trabajo un conjunto de series de televisión que plantean una representación estereotípica de los géneros. Pese a su aparente modernidad, múltiples productos culturales-televisivos siguen siendo portadores de discursos que reproducen…
Dalla parte di Caino? Aspetti teorici, dati empirici, stereotipi e politiche di intervento sul caso degli uomini maltrattanti
2021
Partendo dai dati empirici raccolti nel corso di un progetto Prin su Rappresentazioni sociali della violenza sulle donne: il caso del femminicidio in Italia – e, in particolare, dai risultati emersi dallo studio sulle rappresentazioni del femminicidio nei procedimenti giudiziari – il saggio affronta il controverso tema del profilo dell’uomo maltrattante intorno al quale si concentrano stereotipi e timori sociali ma la cui conoscenza è un tassello indispensabile per affrontare – con il necessario “distacco analitico” – il fenomeno della violenza di genere, evitando derive esorcizzanti o altrettanto pericolosi scivoloni paternalistici, patologizzanti e moralizzanti. Il quesito centrale riguar…
