Final Considerations and Open Scenarios

2016

European river contract experiences demonstrate a growing integration between these contractual agreements and the other instruments of water resources management, and urban and territorial planning. Therefore, river contracts represent innovative places for a new governance of river ecosystems and territories, also in compliance with subsidiarity principle. The twofold nature of these contractual agreements—technical dimension and concertative approach—together with their expected wide evolution, allow to identify river contracts not only as sectoral tools for water resource protection and management, but also as catalysts of a new culture of water, recalling the deep interrelationships ex…

Concezioni dei luoghi e figure dell’alterità: il mare tra i Wayuu. Parte prima

2010

Prima parte di un articolo in cui si propone un’analisi della cosmologia dei Wayuu,una popolazione indigena sudamericana, dalla prospettiva delle valenze simboliche che vi assume il mare, luogo di provenienza o residenza dell’Altro da sé, identificato sia con figure di spiriti, sia con i colonizzatori di origine europea, sia con gli animali da loro introdotti. Dopo aver presentato alcune posizioni del dibattito antropologico contemporaneo sui rapporti tra concezioni dell’alterità e senso dei luoghi, si esamina la relazione complessa tra i valori simbolici e sociali della pesca e quelli della pastorizia (attività introdotta dopo l’arrivo dei primi Europei), e la connessione tra il mare e una…

Concezioni dei luoghi e figure dell’alterità: il mare tra i Wayuu.Seconda parte.

2011

Tra i Wayuu, una popolazione indigena sudamericana che ha adottato l’allevamento di bestiame nel secolo XVII, il mare ha valenze simboliche differenti, che oscillano tra due poli opposti. Da una parte, esso è rappresentato come un luogo destinato a restare sotto il dominio del ‘mondo altro’, associato con la morte e le malattie;dall'altra, esso diventa un luogo addomesticabile e appropriabile. In questa seconda parte, esamino dapprima i modi in cui il mare compare nei miti cosmogonici, e del suo rapporto con l’immagine dei Bianchi; successivamente analizzo il legame tra la credenza secondo cui gli animali marini sono gli animali domestici di Pulowi, la signora del ‘mondo altro’, e quella ch…

Parenté et organisation sociale chez les Wayùu. Retour sur la question

2021

Dans cet article, l’auteur revient sur certaines questions concernant le domaine de la parenté et de l’organisation sociale des Wayùu de la péninsule de La Guajira, dans la zone frontalière du nord de la Colombie et du Venezuela. Prenant pour point de départ le désaccord entre Goulet et Saler sur l’existence de catégories et de groupes de lignages et sur la place de ceux-ci dans le monde social des Wayùu, il opte pour le point de vue de Saler, à savoir que ces catégories peuvent être considérées non seulement dans les mythes au sujet de l’origine de la société wayùu, mais aussi dans les différents concepts qui réfèrent à l’ancestralité utérine commune d’un groupe de gens apparentés, ainsi q…

Territorial songs and intraspecific evolution of East Asian Willow Tits (Parus montanus)

1995

Territorial songs of 4 Asian Willow Tit subspecies namelyParus montanus kamtschatkensis, P. m. songarus, P. m. affinis andP. m. stoetzneri and in addition those of a southern outpost ofP. m. baicalensis are dealt with. These far-eastern subspecies use song types of their own, but nearly identical types may used by different geographical representatives, which are not closely related. The consequences for reconstructing the evolution of the Willow Tit complex by means of acoustical characters are discussed.

Wittgenstein come etnografo del pensare

2017

Wittgenstein è stato giustamente considerato un grande filosofo, annoverato tra quegli studiosi del Novecento che hanno prodotto un pensiero innovativo nel campo del linguaggio. Nel mio saggio, proprio per meglio mettere in evidenza la forza agentiva del suo pensiero ‘in atto e situato’, prendo le distanze da un’impostazione disciplinare univoca, concentrandomi soprattutto sulle Ricerche Filosofiche in quanto testo risultante da un modo di ‘pensare autoriale’ non lineare, non generalizzato, non essenzialistico: un pensare, quello di Wittgenstein, messo dunque concretamente in forma attraverso strategie operative, sistemi figurativi e insiemi combinati di metafore concettuali, da mettere opp…

Facets of Women’s Migration

2014

This volume collects papers presented during the sixth edition of the Summer School “Migration, Human Rights and Democracy”, organized by the University of Palermo (Italy) in September 2012, which focuses on specific topics concerning migrations and motilities questions in contemporary world, gathering many scholars, activists, NGO’s members and researchers interested in discussing these issues. The women’s migration here represents the main topic, which has been examined bringing into dialogue a variety of theoretical perspectives, within an interdisciplinary context which includes not only sociology, anthropology, psychology and political geography, but also linguistics and literature. Mo…

SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS’ ETHICAL STRAIN AND RUMINATION: INDIVIDUAL PROFILES AND THEIR ASSOCIATIONS WITH WEEKLY WELL-BEING

2016

We investigated school psychologists’ experiences of ethical strain (the frequency of ethical dilemmas at work and the stress caused by these dilemmas) and dilemma-related rumination outside working hours. Individual latent profiles were estimated at the study baseline based on these three dimensions. The psychologists’ weekly well-being (vigor, exhaustion, and sleep quality) was compared against their profile during the following three working weeks. The sample included 133 school psychologists, among whom four groups were identified: Low ruminators (39%), an Intermediate group (39%), High ruminators (20%), and Atypical outliers (2%). High ruminators fared least well in terms of weekly wel…

Background: Normal aging is associated with working memory decline. A decrease in working memory performance is associated with age-related changes in functional activation patterns in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Cognitive training can improve cognitive performance in healthy older adults. We implemented a cognitive training study to assess determinants of generalization of training gains to untrained tasks, a key indicator for the effectiveness of cognitive training. We aimed to investigate the association of resting-state functional connectivity (FC) of DLPFC with working memory performance improvement and cognitive gains after the training.Method: A sample of 60 healthy o…

Working memory (WM) performance declines with age. However, several studies have shown that WM training may lead to performance increases not only in the trained task, but also in untrained cognitive transfer tasks. It has been suggested that transfer effects occur if training task and transfer task share specific processing components that are supposedly processed in the same brain areas. In the current study, we investigated whether single-task WM training and training-related alterations in neural activity might support performance in a dual-task setting, thus assessing transfer effects to higher-order control processes in the context of dual-task coordination. A sample of older adults (…
