From the shade into the sun: exploring pride and shame in students with special needs in Finnish VET
2021
This paper reports on a study of the dynamics of social emotions and social bonds between students and class teachers by analysing the narratives of students receiving intensive special support in the Finnish vocational education and training (VET) system. Pride refers to a strong and safe involvement in interaction, and shame implies intimidated social bonds. The analysis is based on abductive content analysis for which Greimas’ actant model worked as an analysis tool. We found some students showing high respect to their teachers who acted as senders setting the objects for students’ studying. Pride is based on the students’ experiences in achieving the objects, thereby pleasing their teac…
this is how we artistically visualise it.
2017
[EN] This study forms part of the project titled: “Aesthetic Quality Research of Three Valencian Schools”. Through it, one may perceive how the architecture, visual culture and daily aesthetics constitute a network that encompasses the conditions for a quality teaching`learning process. Therefore, the aesthetic experience is presented in a way to explore the daily school routine from an interactive perspective between one’s body and their environment. This research took place during 2016 at three schools located in Alicante (Spain). Those schools were chosen as being representative of diverse situations: a multicultural urban school a gypsy`ethnic background urban school and a transient`pop…
Embryo of a Quantum Vocal Theory of Sound
2019
Concepts and formalism from acoustics are often used to exemplify quantum mechanics. Conversely, quantum mechanics could be used to achieve a new perspective on acoustics, as shown by Gabor studies. Here, we focus in particular on the study of human voice, considered as a probe to investigate the world of sounds. We present a theoretical framework that is based on observables of vocal production, and on some measurement apparati that can be used both for analysis and synthesis. In analogy to the description of spin states of a particle, the quantum-mechanical formalism is used to describe the relations between the fundamental states associated with phonetic labels such as phonation, turbule…
La definizione di sillaba della poetica di Aristotele
2013
This paper is an attempt to reconsider the definition of syllable in Aristotle’s Poetics. The problems arising from this text can be solved, in my opinion, by reading it in the full context of the twentieth chapter of the Poet- ics, and by comparing it with what Aristotle wrote about syllables and phonet- ic unities in the whole Corpus Aristotelicum. The definition of ‘syllable’ (syl- labé) must thus be read in close connection with the definition of ‘element’ (stoicheion). For Aristotle, the syllable cannot be reduced to its elements (Met. Z 17), because the syllable has a prosodic and metrical structure which de- fines it as minimal linguistic unity. A vocal expression is a prosodic confi…
Coming up Roses
2022
Discussing two short stories by contemporary Scottish author Ali Smith, my article recommends a close reading of short prose narratives as potential examples of ungendered character-narration. I combine queer and unnatural narrative theory to consider how forms of telling contribute to gender ambiguity. Further, I advocate interpretative strategies that resist naturalization and causal explanations. Instead, a queer reading of Smith’s “erosive” (2003) and “The beholder” (2015) delights in their ambiguity, waywardness, and narrative inventiveness. The texts can be approached as exercises in unknowing.
 Keywords: queer narratology, unnatural narratology, ungendering, narrative voice, cau…
L’altro e le sue immagini. Note sul soliloquio
2016
The paper examines the soliloquy activity by means of some conceptual artifacts borrowed from three research programs: 1) the Enunciative Narratology of René Rivara; 2) the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations of Antoine Culioli; 3) the Dialogical Syntax of John Du Bois. It is composed by three parts. In the first one, we discuss some definitions of soliloquy. The second part is devoted to the analysis of some aspects of such activity with particular reference to some language operations: a) laminations of voice; b) construction of the (interior) co-enunciator. Finally, in the last part we examine some questions that remain open in the debate on soliloquy activity.

Onomatopeya, imitación y poesía en Grecia y Roma
2019
A partir de Platón se desarrolla en la reflexión gramatical y filosófica griega la idea de que ciertos vocablos tienen un origen onomatopéyico, tomándose como modelo de su uso (tanto por su conveniencia como por su condena) su aparición en el epos homérico. Mientras la filosofía vinculará tales palabras, entendidas como onomatopeyas, al origen del lenguaje, los autores de poética y gramática las estudiarán como elementos significativos en la valoración estética de la poesía. La doctrina griega sobre la onomatopeya pasará, a su vez, a las letras latinas.

Ciešamās kārtas lietojums zinātnisko rakstu un bakalaura darbu anotācijās
2019
Pētījuma tēma ir ciešamās kārtas lietojums anotācijās. Ciešamā kārta dzimtās un svešvalodas akadēmiskajos rakstos ir pētīta pirms (Hinkele, 2004); taču to lietojums anotācijās netiek pētīts. Šis pētījums attiecas uz ciešamās kārtas analīzi angļu kā svešvalodas studentu bakalaura darbu anotācijās un pētnieku zinātnisko rakstu anotācijās. Teorētiskais pamatojums ir balstīts uz Kvirka (Quirk et al., 1985), Baibera (Biber et al.,1999), Hadlestona un Pulluma (Huddleston un Pullum 2005), Kollinas un Hollo (Collins un Hollo 2010) un citu autoru darbiem. Pētījums ietver aprakstošās un secinošās statistikas rīkus un specializētā korpusa piemēru kvalitatīvās analīzes aspektus. Rezultātu aprakstā ir a…
