Cultura figurativa popolare. Suoi usi e riusi
2021
Il saggio, dopo una ricognizione della riflessione sulla nozione di arte popolare in ambito demoetnoantropologico, con particolare riferimento all'orizzonte figurativo in Sicilia, su sofferma su alcuni esempi della produzione contemporanea di oggetti che hanno assunto figurazioni proprie del repertorio della pittura del carro e come questo comporti un ripensamento del rapporto "langue"/"parole" del fare artistico popolare che diventa un "brand". The essay, after a survey of the reflection on the notion of popular art in the demo-ethno-anthropological field, with particular reference to the figurative horizon in Sicily, focuses on some examples of the contemporary production of objects that …
Popular Religiosity and Collective Effervescence in Contemporary Sicily
2014
This paper focuses on the religious feasts of St. Agata, one of the most important religious feasts in Southern Italy, in the city of Catania. Drawing upon participatory observation and a netnography of virtual communities of devotees, the Christian popular religiosity towards this female Saint can be seen to represent an annual consecratory encounter between the Saint/Sacred and the local community, and also a kind of contemporary ordeal for young people. As Durkheim suggested, religion is what brings people together by reinforcing social relations and moral norms through a “collective effervescence”. This group energy, when felt by the individual, is not recognized as the result of commun…

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Trains at 1 Hz Frequency of the Right Posterior Parietal Cortex Facilitate Recognition Memory
2021
Neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and brain stimulation studies have led to contrasting findings regarding the potential roles of the lateral parietal lobe in episodic memory. Studies using brain stimulation methods reported in the literature do not offer unequivocal findings on the interactions with stimulation location (left vs. right hemisphere) or timing of the stimulation (encoding vs. retrieval). To address these issues, active and sham 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) trains of 600 stimuli were applied over the right or left posterior parietal cortex (PPC) before the encoding or before the retrieval phase of a recognition memory task of unknown faces in a grou…
Haptic Perception in Extreme Obesity: qEEG Study Focused on Predictive Coding and Body Schema
2020
Haptic perception (HP) is a perceptual modality requiring manual exploration to elaborate the physical characteristics of external stimuli through multisensory integrative cortical pathways. Cortical areas exploit processes of predictive coding that collect sensorial inputs to build and update internal perceptual models. Modifications to the internal representation of the body have been associated with eating disorders. In the light of this, obese subjects were selected as a valid experimental model to explore predictive coding in haptic perception. To this purpose, we performed electroencephalographic (EEG) continuous recordings during a haptic task in normally weighted versus obese subjec…
Introduzione
2019
La cultura del cibo investe un' ampia dimensione simbolica che, radicandosi nella storia lunga dei territori e delle civiltà che li hanno abitati, si riverbera nelle concezioni e nelle pratiche legate a certi alimenti e allo stesso atto del mangiare inteso come momento di condivisione rituale di un momento fondante la socialità e la stessa comunità. Tutto questo è ben visibile in ambito festivo. Nelle feste, infatti, universo simbolico e universo sociale si presentano strettamente correlati. I simboli del sacro alludono al vario modo in cui le comunità rappresentano se stesse, i loro valori, le loro interne gerarchie.
Il sacro pasto. Le tavole degli uomini e degli dèi
2019
I saggi di questo volume stimolano modalità nuove di studiare e rappresentare il cibo. Non già perché la sfera alimentare, storicamente, è mutevole, ma soprattutto perché sono sorte nuove consapevolezze da parte di chi produce, prepara e consuma cibi e al contempo sono sorte nuove prospettive analitiche da parte di chi si occupa di studiare questi fenomeni. In tal senso i contributi forniscono importanti indicazioni per la comprensione del presente, per l’interpretazione della complessa fenomenologia che orbita attorno al vasto e articolato tema del cibo e delle pratiche alimentari, per la decifrazione critica del rapporto che ha l’uomo con l’alimentazione in un periodo di grandi trasformaz…

An aphasia research agenda–a consensus statement from the collaboration of aphasia trialists
2021
Coordination of international aphasia research would minimise duplication of effort, support synergistic international activities across languages and multidisciplinary perspectives, and promote high-quality conduct and reporting of aphasia research, thereby increasing the relevance, transparency, and implementation of findings. The Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CATs) sought to develop an aphasia research agenda to direct future research activities, based on priorities shared by people with aphasia, family members, and healthcare professionals. Our established international research network spanning 33 countries contributed to this activity. Research literature reporting the prioritie…
