"Paolo Boccone’s curious observations and the Commitment to Visual Communication of Natural History", speech at International Conference "Art and Sci…
2015
In his "Recherches et observations naturelles" (Amsterdam 1674) the botanist Paolo Boccone (1633- 1704) presents himself as an advocate of a new visual method. He was supported by Jan Swammerdam, with whom he shared his scientific observations. Boccone claims to be the first to apply microscopic dissection to figured stones, in order to distinguish accidental shapes from natural ones. Boccone, as many of the members of the scientific community with whom he corresponded, had a strong commitment to painstaking observation and visual communication, that he was able to handle on many levels. The allegorical frontispiece of "Recherches" is aimed to present a range of moral and psychological atti…
Regards sur les pratiques épistolaires dans le monde monastique : Abbon de Fleury, Constantin de Micy et quelques exemples ligériens (980-1030)
2022
International audience; Dès l’Antiquité tardive, le monachisme oriental témoigne de l’importance des correspondances monastiques tant dans les échanges entre communautés que dans les relations entre les frères et le monde extérieur. L’intérêt de ces échanges est autant dans l’abondance du corpus que dans sa composition, sa diversité et l’étendue des thématiques qui y sont abordées, y compris les plus formelles. En Occident, il faut attendre les temps carolingiens pour observer un net retour de ces pratiques épistolaires en lien avec l’expansion de l’empire et surtout avec le regain de l’intérêt marqué pour l’Antiquité. Les moines ne font pas exception à ce renouveau. Loup de Ferrières ou Ra…
The path of liberation. Women’s associationism and workers’ cultures in the Second Republic (1931-1936)
2021
El presente texto reflexiona sobre algunas experiencias asociativas de las mujeres de distintas organizaciones femeninas de izquierda durante la Segunda República española (1931-1936). A través de ellas, las mujeres aumentaron su presencia pública en este período, sus vinculaciones y su compromiso, a través de múltiples acciones y propuestas. Pero a la vez, estas experiencias incrementaron el contacto y la interacción entre ellas, posibilitando su reconocimiento mutuo, su «apoyo mutuo», y con él, el desarrollo de su conciencia y de su identidad como mujeres, como socialistas y como trabajadoras. En otras palabras, su identidad como «compañeras», y su sociabilidad asociativa como «camino de …
Building Worlds Together with Sound and Music : Imagination as an Active Engagement between Ourselves
2019
By conforming to the enactive approach to human cognition, and by adopting the Tia DeNora’s concept of human–music interaction as an “in-action” perspective, Kai Tuuri and Henna-Riikka Peltola explore socially extended imagining with sounds and music. This is done through a question of how “shared places” of imagining with sound are established and maintained. Defining the activity of imagining as an essentially dynamic and generative process that takes place in a social reality, the authors propose that the processes of imagining are not only individual but also become exhibited and jointly engaged in social dialogues as well. By first discussing the theoretical foundations of this shared …
Introduction: Impression(s)
2019
This is the introduction to the volume "Impression(s)". The articles presented in this cluster discuss literary and visual impressions from the premise that literary impressionism and printmaking share the trope of impression as “impress” and as “imprints” in a technical and epistemological sense. Most works on Impressionism and literary impressionism dwell on the genealogy and mutual influence of fiction and painting, but few authors tackle the importance of printmaking. The five essays presented here all examine impressions as theme, trope and technique in 19th and 20th-century texts and images. These essays discuss intermedial practices, the mutual influence of artistic practice and text…
Il Paradigma della Città Fluida
2013
Nella recente crisi globale i poderosi flussi di capitali finanziari, sociali e relazionali che hanno alimentato la riqualificazione urbana nel corso degli ultimi quindici anni non sono più disponibili ad essere intercettati in maniera indiscriminata così come è stato possibile fino a qualche anno fa. Nell'era della crisi strutturale le città più dinamiche non sono più quelle in grado di attrarre progetti urbani iconici ed investitori spinti dal mercato immobiliare o dalla redditività delle attività ricreative, ma quelle città che, a partire dalle loro profonde e diversificate risorse culturali, saranno capaci di attuare una vera e propria “metamorfosi” per usarle come base per la creazione…

Languaging across cultures
2013
As a theoretical notion, 'languaging' denotes a fluid system of communication that is constructed and performed by individuals during 'collaborative dialogue'. In language learning, the term 'languaging' has been defined as: “the process of making meaning and shaping knowledge and experience through language” (Swain 2006: 98). Swain continues, likening languaging to reformulating, where the intent is not to change meaning but the form to improve learning (maybe writing down the thoughts, or talking about and explaining what has been writen) so that the meaning is clear or acceptable to another reader or listener. Liddicoat and Scarino (2013: 61), in their discussion of intercultural teachin…
