Celebrities' Memorial Afterlives: Obituaries, Tributes, and Posthumous Gossip in the Romanian Media Deathscape.
2017
Cross-culturally, dead are protected from posthumous negative evaluations by the universal “nil nisi bonum” precept that governs the ethics within the community of mourners. In this study, we set out to test the observance of this injunction against posthumous gossiping in the Romanian public deathscape. Obituaries and other posthumous articles ( N = 1,148) were collected that covered the deaths of 63 celebrities who passed away between 2013 and 2016. Materials were gathered from the digital archives of three Romanian news sources (a news agency, a “quality” newspaper, and a tabloid), published one week after the moment of death. The findings show that 22% of the articles do contain negati…
"Tea for two": the Archive of the Italian Latinity of the Middle Ages meets the CLARIN infrastructure
2020
This paper aims at showing how integrating the Archive of the Italian Latinity of the Middle Ages (ALIM) into the ILC4CLARIN repository can provide mutual benefits. Making ALIM available to a large community of scholars and researchers, on the one side, represents the first step to reduce the lack of resources for Medieval Latin in CLARIN and, on the other side, constitutes an unprecedented contribution to not only linguistic investigations, but also to the studies of the culture and science at the basis of the Western European society. The paper describes the adopted approach aiming to keep intact the structure of the archive and its metadata, which are both accurately mirrored into the IL…
Global responsibility: An exploratory corpus assisted discourse analysis of the Rohingya crisis in online media
2021
This study conducts an exploratory corpus-assisted discourse analysis of the representation of the Rohingya minority group across online news media in the United Kingdom. The purpose of the study is to identify and interpret the discursive patterns employed in popular online news media when depicting the Rohingya minority and associated crises affecting the group in Myanmar and worldwide. Through the use of a combination of frequency, collocation, and concordance analysis, a synchronic study was undertaken using data collected from fifteen major online news media producers in the United Kingdom. The data was collected over a period from January 2017 – August 2020 through freely accessible d…
Siti Web Museali: Identità Perdute. Appunti per una “storia” del progetto web museale nei primi anni 2000
2021
This discussion tries to investigate the theme of the "web amnesia" in relation to the website project of cultural institutions. More precisely, the reflection is inspired by a "rereading" of a research experience gained within the University of Palermo through the drafting of a doctoral thesis entitled "The web for culture. From digital identity to the design of online services” which had as its objective the mapping of the websites of museums or cultural institutions in relation to quality criteria, operational indications, design guidelines and, in general, to all the issues of the sectoral scientific debate of the early 2000s. Today, thanks to this possible reinterpretation, this resear…
Architetture nel cassetto
2017
Lo studio riguarda la lettura di due progetti mai realizzati di Gae Aulenti, del 1963 e del 1972, la Casa nel bosco e la Villa a Capalbio. Si vuole dimostrare che la ricostruzione congetturale attraverso i modelli digitali è un atto chiarificatore di alcuni aspetti dell’architettura demandati, spesso, soltanto alla parola scritta; attraverso la costruzione di inedite rappresentazioni le parole prendono forma attraverso un nuovo corpus figurativo; il modello digitale non è soltanto l’immagine virtuale dell’edificio ma esso assurge a immagine possibile diventandone la sua sola realtà esistenziale. The study concerns the reading of two unbuilt projects by Gae Aulenti, of 1963 and 1972, the Hou…
