European Politics of Food Origin. A Semiotic Analysis of Geographical Indications
2021
This chapter investigates the relationship between food products and origin places within the European Union food policies. In the 1990s, the EU established a Geographical Indication (GI) system, constituted of a set of food quality brands and a legal framework for food, wine and spirits. This system, defined as a sui generis model by insiders, entails a strong EU government participation in the typical food symbolic and material modelling. The sui generis model establishes a government monopoly on the place-based labels registration and institutes an atypical kind of intellectual property based on geographic marks. By proposing a semiotic approach toward the analysis of European Geographic…
Tutta la Russia è il nostro giardino
2018
Anton Chekhov lived in a tumultuous period that strongly influenced the future of Russia: he was a conscious and careful observer of this changing political landscape. Parallel examination of Chekhov’s drama and short stories yield the most complete understanding of his realism. The contents of his short stories are explicitly connected with the subject matter of his later plays. Gorky disagreed with the critics who, after the first productions of Chekhov’s plays, had characterized Chekhov’s as a ‘simbolic realism’. He saw in the playwright’s approach a unique ability for capturing and communicating universal meaning.
Repair of O(6)-methylguanine is not affected by thymine base pairing and the presence of MMR proteins.
2001
Methylation at the O(6)-position of guanine (O(6)-MeG) by alkylating agents is efficiently removed by O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), preventing from cytotoxic, mutagenic, clastogenic and carcinogenic effects of O(6)-MeG-inducing agents. If O(6)-MeG is not removed from DNA prior to replication, thymine will be incorporated instead of cytosine opposite the O(6)-MeG lesion. This mismatch is recognized and processed by mismatch repair (MMR) proteins which are known to be involved in triggering the cytotoxic and genotoxic response of cells upon methylation. In this work we addressed three open questions. (1) Is MGMT able to repair O(6)-MeG mispaired with thymine (O(6)-MeG/T)? (…

Fenomenologia zingara. Etnografia di una comunità rom a Palermo
2015
Il volume, esito di una ricerca etnografica, prova a fornire un quadro esaustivo della fenomenologia zingara a Palermo, come caso idiografico, con costante riferimento comparativo all'ambito nazionale, per un possibile assioma nomotetico. Il focus tematico è centrato sulla marginalità dei gruppi rom, sulle loro strategie di sopravvivenza negli interstizi della società maggioritaria e sulla riproduzione dei loro etnemi. Il testo si sofferma, inoltre, sulle prassi di insediamento, adattamento e conservazione dei principali tratti culturali della più grande minoranza etnica europea. Un esempio della trasmissione culturale è l'analisi ermeneutica del rito festivo di San Giorgio (Herdelezi), la …
Estudiantes Universitarios con Trastornos del Espectro del Autismo: Revisión de sus necesidades y notas para su atención
2021
[ENIn the last 10 years we have seen an increase in the number of publications related to the inclusion in university classrooms of students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger's Syndrome or high functioning autism. This article summarizes the literature on the presence of students with Autism Spectrum Disorders at the University and reflects on the need to develop specific programs for their care within the framework of support services for students with disabilities or other similar service structures. Among the specific measures, we have found experiences on awareness programs for teachers and students with the aim of generating a culture about "autism", programs to treat anxiety, m…
The effect of environmental uncertainty and diapause investment on the occurrence of specialist and generalist species
2014
The evolution of specialist and generalist strategies is a central topic in ecology with strong implications for the biodiversity and structure of communities. Environmental unpredictability has been suggested as a key factor affecting the relative advantages of generalist species. However, life cycle features, like diapause, can also play a major role in the competitive dynamics between generalists and specialists. Zooplanktonic communities of continental waters are suitable models to study this; they inhabit water bodies that vary temporally with different degrees of uncertainty and rely on the production of diapause stages to survive across the year. We developed a simple theoretical mod…
Su mortu mortu vs Halloween. Questue infantili in Sardegna
2020
Il contributo indaga il rapporto fra questue infantili tradizionali e Halloween in Sardegna. Dalle ricerche sul campo è emerso che in diversi centri Halloween è subentrato ai giri di raccolta consuetudinari, in altri convive con essi, ma nella maggior parte dei paesi il festival di origine anglosassone non si è ancora diffuso poiché, appunto, sono vitali le questue tradizionali. Si tratta di due manifestazioni rituali diverse, espressione di contesti storici e socioculturali ma anche politico-economici differenti e tuttavia i simboli rituali più noti della “carnevalata americana" – la zucca con la candela accesa, la formula rituale per la richiesta dei doni e la minaccia di ritorsioni per l…
“Allouì? Mezus mortu mortu!” Processi identitari, retoriche del passato e mercato culturale in Sardegna
2014
In Europa, e segnatamente in Italia, Halloween continua a dividere ogni anno favorevoli e contrari. Ma quali sono le ragioni che stimolano il rifiuto del festival d’importazione statunitense? Una ma non unica motivazione è il ricordo delle questue infantili tradizionali che in passato scandivano i calendari cerimoniali di numerosi centri della penisola. Scomparse quasi dappertutto, le questue infantili si conservano diffusamente in Sardegna. Qui Halloween convive in alcuni casi con le questue tradizionali, in altri le ha sostituite, ma nella maggior parte dei paesi non si è ancora diffuso. Piuttosto, più o meno recentemente, altre comunità isolane, in risposta ad Halloween, hanno riproposto…
Recensione di The Players’ Advice to Hamlet: the Rhetorical Acting Method from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment
2020
The Players’ Advice to Hamlet (2020), scritto da David Wiles per la Cambridge University Press (370 pp.), è un lavoro che raccoglie i dati e le riflessioni di molti anni di ricerca, e indica quali debbono essere gli strumenti di analisi e rilevazione della filologia teatrale. The Players’ Advice to Hamlet (2020) written by David Wiles and published by Cambridge University Press (370 p.) is a volume that houses resources which have been analysed during a long period of work, and underlines methods and models of the theatrical philology.
