DEL CASTELLANO DE «UN PEQUEÑO RINCÓN» AL ESPAÑOL INTERNACIONAL
2015
Este artículo analiza, desde una perspectiva general, las grandes etapas que se han sucedido en la historia del español con respecto a la dinámica entre variación y norma(s). Se argumenta que, partiendo de la difusión de la lengua en el mundo, así como de los nuevos enfoques en la teoría lingüística, solo en las últimas décadas parece haberse alcanzado un modelo normativo que, sin dejar de lado la preocupación por la unidad del español, puede permitir el encaje de sus diversas normas; unas normas que, por otro lado, y más allá de las Academias, tienden a una nueva convergencia en los medios de comunicación masiva que afianzará la potencia del español ante los retos que se vislumbran. This a…
Roma, faue coeptis. Pompeo e i Parti nell’ottavo libro della Pharsalia di Lucano
2015
The paper focuses on the section of eighth book of Pharsalia, in which Pompeius discusses with the members of the senate in order to decide the place to find refuge. Particularly, the choice that will bring Pompeius to death in Egypt is determined by the speech of Lentulus: in order to reject proposals for an alliance with the Parthians, he adopts the perspective of the ancient ethnocentrism and his prejudices. Nevertheless, in the architecture of the episode, it is determinant the rhetorical culture of the Author.
A framework to analyse gender bias in epidemiological research
2007
The design and analysis of research may cause systematic gender dependent errors to be produced in results because of gender insensitivity or androcentrism. Gender bias in research could be defined as a systematically erroneous gender dependent approach related to social construct, which incorrectly regards women and men as similar/different. Most gender bias can be found in the context of discovery (development of hypotheses), but it has also been found in the context of justification (methodological process), which must be improved. In fact, one of the main effects of gender bias in research is partial or incorrect knowledge in the results, which are systematically different from the real…
Products labeled as “made in domestic country”: the brand matters
2020
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to better understand an increasingly widespread practice consisting, of a brand, in signaling the domestic origin of its products aimed at domestic consumers, that is, the “made in the domestic country” (MIDC) strategy. To this end, it is proposed to analyze the MIDC label as a cue interacting with the brand’s characteristics (brand equity and country of origin of the brand). Design/methodology/approach A between-subjects experiment is conducted among 293 French consumers on four different brands of pasta. The overall design is a 2 (with/without the MIDC label) × 2 (high/low brand equity) × 2 (domestic/foreign brand) mixed design. Findings The results s…
Historicising Cultural Sport Psychology : Dare we De-centre Methodological Eurocentrism?
2021
In this essay we critically reflect on our respective journeys to and within cultural sport psychology (CSP). Since the inception, CSP scholars have advocated for opening the privileged academic space for marginalised voices and omitted subject themes; as well as cautioned researchers that the CSP project itself needs to be constantly revisited and reworked to keep it in progressive flux. We argue that, despite some notable advances, CSP remains a predominantly white Anglo-American intellec-tual space and that previous calls to engage with issues of power and privilege in the prevailing knowledge production have been largely unanswered. The lack of diverse voices within the CSP community ma…

Madness (about) seeing: dalla costruzione sociale del visuale alla costruzione visuale del sociale
2017
La cultura che siamo soliti definire come “occidentale” possiede nell’oculocentrismo, come altre, più di altre, uno dei suoi tratti maggiormente distintivi. Individuato, tra gli altri, il senso della vista come canale privilegiato per relazionarsi con il mondo, l’uomo occidentale ha dato origine ad un’operazione di trasfigurazione del reale in termini visivi che lo ha condotto, in tempi recenti, ad identificarsi con gli oggetti che tale processo ha messo al mondo; da più parti, infatti, ci viene detto che viviamo nella (non meglio definita) “società delle immagini”. Subito dopo aver analizzato il luogo e il tempo in cui la preferenza per il vedere ha piantato le proprie solidissime e rizoma…

Decreasing consumer animosity: The relationship between fast food businesses and social conflicts in Latin America and the Caribbean
2021
Consumer animosity represents discomfort towards foreign goods, services and brands originating in countries with which there is some kind of conflict; in this way, a better understanding of consumer behavior in respect of hostilities between countries is sought. On the other hand, the conflicts in Latin America and the Caribbean are often overlooked in the academic literature, which focuses on studying the major Western economies and the great Asian tigers, given their political, economic and military value; for this reason, consumer animosity studies are mostly conducted in these countries. This study seeks to contribute to the scarce literature on consumer animosity in Latin America, thr…
