Palermo sonorissima: istituzioni ecclesiastiche, musicisti e committenza musicale nell’età di Filippo II (1556-1598)
2010
Partendo dalle cerimonie organizzate a Palermo in occasione della morte di Filippo II, il contributo si incentra sulla chiesa di San Domenico, ricostruendone le attività musicali e fornendo informazioni sui musicisti che vi operarono nel corso del Cinquecento (sia locali che stranieri). La seconda parte tratta, invece, delle tipologie cerimoniali più diffuse (entrate trionfali, cavalcate, processioni) e del rapporto con la musica, gettando uno sguardo alla Cappella Palatina e al ruolo di Filippo II nella riforma della cappella musicale di quest'ultima.
“The (anti-)establishment blues”: la doppia geografia di Sixto Rodriguez tra marginalità e sovversione
2016
The life and career of Sixto Rodríguez, the American folk-singer born in Detroit in 1942, weave together two different places. On the one hand, we find Detroit where at the turn of the Sixties Rodríguez recorded two albums without success. On the other, there is Cape Town where unknown to Rodríguez his music became very influential and its subversive contents found an unexpected space of resonance. This paper aims at investigating the double geography emerging from this astonishing musical biography. The analysis will focus on the complex relationship between musical practices and spatial formations, examining how power geometries shape and carve the field of their mutual production. If the…
All Eyes on Me : Behaving as Soloist in Duo Performances Leads to Increased Body Movements and Attracts Observers’ Visual Attention
2020
Duo musicians exhibit a broad variety of bodily gestures, but it is unclear how soloists’ and accompanists’ movements differ and to what extent they attract observers’ visual attention. In Experiment 1, seven musical duos’ body movements were tracked while they performed two pieces in two different conditions. In a congruent condition, soloist and accompanist behaved according to their expected musical roles; in an incongruent condition, the soloist behaved as accompanist and vice versa. Results revealed that behaving as soloist, regardless of the condition, led to more, smoother, and faster head and shoulder movements over a larger area than behaving as accompanist. Moreover, accompanists …
Relationships Between Audio and Movement Features, and Perceived Emotions in Musical Performance
2023
A core aspect of musical performance is communicating emotional and expressive intentions to the audience. Recognition of the musician's intentions is constructed from a combination of visual and auditory performance cues, as well as compositional features. The current study attempted to quantify these contributions by measuring relationships between ratings of perceived emotion, and motion and auditory performance features. A pianist and violinist with advanced degrees in music performance individually performed four short western tonal pieces. The musicians were tasked with performing the pieces while invoking different expressive intentions: sad, happy, angry, and as a control, deadpan. …

The shape of the water
2016
The Po River is a living organism that breathes: it inhales and swells; it exhales and releases its energy. Between two extreme phases of overflow and shallows, there are endless variations. In Piacenza, at the riverside, hydrometric instruments also took size and shape of a special building in reinforced concrete crowned by conical elements. When the water level rises, it floods the earth gradually; it deletes some marks lapping, and then reveals other things. The water clears and continuously constructs, in a surreal atmosphere of expectation, always in the balance between the catastrophe and the regeneration of a soil that emerges like an archaeological plan. Visible volumes are like the…
Derechos Humanos, discapacidad y toma de conciencia: artículo 8 de la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, un camino previ…
2013
La tesis defiende que la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad y su artículo 8 relativo a la toma de conciencia crean una estructura de interpretación y aplicación que entrelaza obligaciones, principios y derechos que se vertebran en la toma de conciencia. De manera que la toma de conciencia se apoya en los derechos contenidos en la Convención, y los derechos contenidos en la Convención se estructuran en la toma de conciencia. De esta forma se supera la dimensión enunciativa y declarativa de los derechos, y se plantea al mundo jurídico la necesidad de buscar fórmulas que, más allá del conocimiento de lo preceptuado en las normas, lleven a la observancia. Por ello se…
Early Career Women in Academia: An Exploration of Networking Perceptions
2016
This chapter explores women’s networking perceptions by focusing on early career women in social sciences. Within an exploratory research design it asks how early career women define the early career stage in academia, what definitions, meanings and interpretations they give for networks and networking, how they construct the networking process and their ability to establish and/or join networks, as early career researchers and as women. Based on two group interviews with 12 participants, our findings show that early career women in academia favour networking with peers based on shared interests (organic networking). At the same time though, they challenge and step over the perceived gender…

Associations of physical performance and physical activity with mental well-being in middle-aged women
2021
Abstract Background To investigate whether physical performance is independently of physical activity (PA) associated with positive and negative dimensions of mental well-being in middle-aged women. Methods Data were drawn from the Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis (ERMA) study in which women 47 to 55 years were randomly selected from the Finnish National Registry. They (n = 909) participated in measurements of physical performance (handgrip force, knee extension force, vertical jumping height, maximal walking speed, and six-minute walking distance). Both mental well-being (the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule…
