Animalità, umanità, cultura, vita. A margine della discussione tra antropologi socioculturali.

2017

L'articolo ricostruisce alcuni momenti del dibattito sui rapporti tra umanità e animalità, evidenziando, sulla scorta di Ingold, come l'umanità sia stata pensata sia in quanto appartenenza a una specie biologica, sia in quanto condizione distintiva rispetto all'animalità. La necessità di dovere superare le antinomie che derivano dall'attribuzione di questo doppio statuto all'essere umano passa per un ripensamento del concetto di cultura

La Comedia nueva e le scene italiane nel Seicento. Trame, drammaturgie, contesti a confronto.

2016

I rapporti fra teatro italiano e teatro spagnolo del Seicento sono oggetto di specifiche ricerche disciplinari da una quarantina d’anni. Questo volume è il primo a tentare, da una parte, di tracciare la storia di questi studi nei campi dell’ispanistica, della musicologia e della storia del teatro, e dall’altra di individuare nuovi percorsi di ricerca interdisciplinari, esemplificati nei saggi in esso contenuti. Le cinque sezioni di cui il libro si compone mostrano alcune delle tematiche più proficue: il rapporto di scambio con la Commedia dell’Arte; l’appropriazione di trame e drammaturgieda parte degli autori teatrali italiani (anche di quelli che scrivono testi per musica); lo scardinamen…

Verbal counting skill predicts later math performance and difficulties in middle school

2019

This study examined the role of verbal counting skill as an early predictor of math performance and difficulties (at or below −1.5 standard deviation in basic math skills) in middle school. The role of fourth-grade level arithmetical skills (i.e., calculation fluency, multi-digit arithmetic i.e. procedural calculation, and word problem solving) as mediators was also investigated. The participants included 207 children in central Finland who were studied from kindergarten to the seventh grade. Path modeling showed that verbal counting in kindergarten is a strong predictor for basic math performance in seventh grade, explaining even 52% of the variance in these skills after controlling for th…

Student–teacher relationships are crucial for adolescents’ adjustment in the school context.

In addition, students evaluated their teacher relationships and rated academic emotions in literacy and math domains. The results indicated that higher teacher closeness was related to increasing positive emotions and increasing literacy achievement during seventh grade, whereas lower levels …
