Rappresentare l’esperienza in antropologia e in letteratura
2016
Nel novembre del 2009, organizzammo, grazie al sostegno della Fondazione Buttitta, un seminario dal titolo: Li vuci di l’omini. Altre storie, storie nostre. Quattro dialoghi per “rappresentare l’esperienza” in letteratura e in etnografia. L’idea del seminario aveva una duplice matrice: da un lato nasceva dalla passione per la letteratura di autori stranieri i cui temi fossero narrazioni, rappresentazioni e visioni sull’alterità, sull’altro da noi, e dunque, dal nostro punto di vista, antropologicamente pertinenti; dall’altro, il seminario nasceva dall’ipotesi che queste narrazioni potessero offrire una sponda interessante cui agganciare una riflessione tutta interna al dibattito antropologi…
Stavo per scivolare, ho pensato a Wittgenstein!. Etnopragmatica di un concetto
2016
In questo saggio, esploro la porta semiotica e pragmatica di un’azione (‘scivolare’), comunemente appartenente all’ambito del quotidiano, per mostrarne invece la valenza teorica e metateorica oltre che d’ordine pratico. Le domande che mi pongo sono le seguenti: come si può riflettere sul quotidiano in chiave antropologica? Come analizzare il senso di un concetto soltanto in apparenza d’uso comune? Come eludere la metafisica radicata nelle nostre proprie analisi? Per rispondere a queste domande, mi sono avvalso del concetto di gioco linguistico formulato da Wittgenstein rinviando allo ‘scivolare’ in opposizione all’‘attrito’ e, infine, al concetto stesso di ‘gioco linguistico’. Ho dunque mes…
Ecotheology in the service of religion and science
2020
The aim of the text is to assess the ecumenical potential of various contemporary approaches to ecotheology, which try to take into account the achievements of natural and social sciences. It outlines the effects of the ecumenical interest of the Churches in ecology, understood as a certain style of thinking and acting, taking into account the good of the natural environment. The results of ecological interest in the Churches are discussed by numerous authors. For example, two complementary concepts from Western and Eastern Christianity are presented: Thomas Berry's Interdisciplinary Ecotheology and John Zizioulas' Ethically Oriented Ecotheology.
 
Elementary school teachers adapt their instructional support according to students' academic skills – A variable and person-oriented approach
2015
This study examined the longitudinal associations between children’s academic skills and the instructional support teachers gave individual students. A total of 253 Finnish children were tested on reading and math skills twice in the first grade and once in the second grade. The teachers of these children rated the instructional support that they gave each child in reading and mathematics. The results showed that the poorer the student’s reading and math skills were, the more support and attention the student received from his or her teacher later on. However, instructional support did not contribute positively to the subsequent development of the students’ academic skills. The person-orie…
Teolingvistika v kontekste sovremennyh âzykovedčeskih issledovanij
2021
Religion as one of the forms of social consciousness is the object of interest of various sciences, among which linguistics can be named. Theology, geography and ecology of religion, history and philosophy of religion, psychology of religion, the directions in which these studies are conducted are quite diverse: the language of theological texts, the problem of translation, stylistics, lexicology, lexicography, semantics, language communication and many others. In this article we are talking about the section of linguistics – theolinguistics.
Differential Effects of Interruptions and Distractions on Working Memory Processes in an ERP Study
2020
Interruptions (interfering stimuli to respond to) and distractions (interfering stimuli to be ignored) have been shown to negatively impact performance, particularly in tasks requiring working memory (WM). This study investigated how these two types of external interference affect task performance and attentional and WM processes as indexed by specific event-related potentials (ERPs) of the EEG. A Continuous Number Task (CNT) was applied, in which participants had to either decide whether the current number (condition without WM load) or the sum of the current and the preceding number (condition with WM load) was odd or even while responding to interlaced single letters (interruptions) or i…
Developmental dyslexia: Visual abnormalities during ocular rotation
2005
[u]Purpose[/u]: Most of the studies dealing with visual perception disabilities in children suffering from developmental dyslexia have been done in orthophoric position. The objective of the present study is to explore the visual perception during eye movements. [u]Methods[/u]: Sixty male patients (11.8 ± 1.8 years) were examined by neuropsychologists to evaluate reading difficulties. Visual perception during ocular rotation was assessed with a Clement Clarke synoptophore with G3–G4 slides, in primary gaze, then laterally at 20, 30 and 40° in dim light. [u]Results[/u]: Three main abnormalities were found. • Isolated perception abnormalities with intermittent shading of the image, central, p…
Less Effort, Better Results: How Does Music Act on Prefrontal Cortex in Older Adults during Verbal Encoding? An fNIRS Study
2014
Several neuroimaging studies of cognitive aging revealed deficits in episodic memory abilities as a result of prefrontal cortex (PFC) limitations. Improving episodic memory performance despite PFC deficits is thus a critical issue in aging research. Listening to music stimulates cognitive performance in several non-purely musical activities (e.g., language and memory). Thus, music could represent a rich and helpful source during verbal encoding and therefore help subsequent retrieval. Furthermore, such benefit could be reflected in less demand of PFC, which is known to be crucial for encoding processes. This study aimed to investigate whether music may improve episodic memory in older adult…
Le bucher de Saint Antoine. Rites du feu en Sicile
2008
In Sicilia roghi, falò e fiaccolate si incontrano in numerose celebrazioni che si susseguono lungo il corso dell’anno (Buttitta I. E. 1999a). Questi sono diffusamente accesi la vigilia delle feste dell’Immacolata (8 dicembre), di Santa Lucia (13 dicembre), di Natale (25 dicembre), di Sant’Antonio Abate (17 gennaio), di San Giuseppe (19 marzo). Fuochi rituali ricorrono anche in occasione del Martedì grasso di Carnevale, della Pasqua (Venerdì santo e Sabato santo), dell’Ascensione, della vigilia dell’Assunzione (15 agosto), di San Giovanni Battista (24 giugno) e di alcune feste di carattere locale. I vampi, i vamparotti, i pagghiara, i burgi, i fochi, a ddera (queste solo alcune delle denomin…
Feste religiose a Palermo. Temi di Ricerca e prospettive di analisi
2018
La ricerca antropologica ha sostanzialmente trascurato, almeno a partire dagli anni Sessanta delNovecento, la documentazione e lo studio delle molteplici forme e espressioni della religiosità tradizionale che intramano i tessuti sociali delle più grandi città dell’Isola, soffermandosi al più sulle grandi feste patronali. Questo disinteresse è certamente da riferirsi, oltre che all’avvertitaurgenza di raccogliere, al momento del suo definitivo tramonto, quanto ancora restava della cultura contadina, anche alla convinzione che gli stili di vita urbani avessero, in maggior misura che nei contesti dei piccoli centri rurali e costieri, disarticolato e disperso i patrimoni materiali e immateriali…
