Le réalisme social américain à l'ère postmoderne : (Russell Banks, Raymond Carver, Richard Ford)
2012
His study focuses on the works of Russell Banks, Raymond Carver and Richard Ford. They started writing during the 1960s and 1970s, at a time when the self-reflexivity and metafictional play of postmodernist writers were drawing a lot of critical attention in academic circles. However, they consider themselves to be realist writers. In “A Few Words about Minimalism,” John Barth suggested that the return to realist fiction in the mid-1970s could be both a reaction against so-called “postmodernist” fiction and a symptom of the social and economic unease of the period.

Implementare il patrimonio archivistico: ricostruzione virtuale di una villa non realizzata di Giuseppe Samonà in Sicilia
2023
Questo saggio vuole essere una testimonianza dell’importanza culturale e cognitiva degli archivi (del progetto) intesi come patrimonio pubblico. L’azione di re-immaginarli può costituire un veicolo per la loro conoscenza? Con l’analisi di un caso-studio di un’abitazione non realizzata di un architetto del Novecento come Giuseppe Samonà si prova a verificare l’efficacia degli strumenti digitali per l’interpretazione dell’architettura come mezzi per l’implementazione comunicativa di un archivio.

After an introduction on the issue of the art-architecture relationship during Fascism, the paper analyzes four significant cases in the delicate historical transition from the Regime to the republican age in Sicily, in order to understand the role of artistic decorations in the facade, in relation to the architecture and cultural traditions of the island. The first two belong to the monumental type of the Palace of Justice, while the others are representative buildings: a Hotel and a Bank.

2019
Il presente fascicolo di RSA, dedicato a cinque casi-studio (Milano, Venezia, Firenze, Napoli e Palermo) in un arco cronologico che va dal periodo napoleonico fino alla Riforma Gentile, nasce da un motivo duplice: entrare nel merito della discussione recente sul rapporto degli studiosi con gli artisti del proprio tempo («Journal of Art Historiography», 19, 2018, fasc. a cura di E.

Sérié) e nello stesso tempo mettere a fuoco un aspetto marginalizzato anche dagli studi sulla storia delle Accademie, che solo di recente sono torn…

30 Years on: How the Neurodevelopmental Hypothesis of Schizophrenia Morphed into the Developmental Risk Factor Model of Psychosis
2017
At its re-birth 30 years ago, the neurodevelopment hypothesis of schizophrenia focussed on aberrant genes and early neural hazards, but then it grew to include ideas concerning aberrant synaptic pruning in adolescence. The hypothesis had its own stormy development and it endured some difficult teenage years when a resurgence of interest in neurodegeneration threatened its survival. In early adult life, it over-reached itself with some reductionists claiming that schizophrenia was simply a neurodevelopmental disease. However, by age 30, the hypothesis has matured sufficiently to incorporated childhood and adult adversity, urban living and migration, as well as heavy cannabis use, as importan…
