Una segregazione paradossale e multi-scalare: il caso del quartiere ZEN di Palermo
2016
L’articolo affronta la questione della segregazione nel quartiere ZEN di Palermo (Sicilia). L’impianto teorico dialoga con la letteratura anglosassone, ma ne prende le distanze nel tentativo di individuare alcune specificità locali del caso. L’obiettivo è duplice: intanto indentificare alcuni “movimenti geostorici” che hanno caratterizzato il quartiere, collegando a ciascuno di questi una fase del processo segregativo; inoltre, rappresentare la segregazione del quartiere in forma cartografica, mediante l’uso di alcuni ideogrammi e mappe mentali. This article deals with the issue of segregation in the ZEN district of Palermo, Sicily. The theoretical framework is built around Anglo-Saxon refe…
Place names as evocative elements of historical landscape. Analysis of urban place names in the Vinalopó Basin
2017
La cuenca del Vinalopó, al sur del País Valenciano, está compuesta por una serie de comarcas industriales densamente pobladas que han sido habitadas desde la Antigüedad. Aprovechando la perspectiva diacrónica que ofrecen los nombres de lugar, se reconstituyen virtualmente ciertos elementos naturales y culturales del paisaje histórico de la comarca del Vinalopó mediante un análisis toponímico basado en elucidar la etimología de los nombres de lugar, en el método de observación de los rasgos geográficos de dichos lugares y en las fuentes históricas que se refieren a los mismos. The Vinalopó basin, in the south of the Valencian Community (Spain), is composed of densely populated industrial tow…

Assessing Teacher’s Discourse Effect on Students’ Learning: A Keyword Centrality Approach
2020
The way that content-related keywords co-occur along a lesson seems to play an important role in concept understanding and, therefore, in students’ performance. Thus, network-like structures have been used to represent and summarize conceptual knowledge, particularly in science areas. Previous work has automated the process of producing concept networks, computed different properties of these networks, and studied the correlation of these properties with students’ achievement. This work presents an automated analysis of teachers’ concept graphs, the distribution of relevance amongst content-related keywords and how this affects students’ achievement. Particularly, we automatically extracted…

Learning How to Tell, Learning How to Ask: Reciprocity and Storytelling as a Community Process
2020
AbstractIn this article, we discuss the discursive processes that surround storytelling of traumatic experiences in the case of minor asylum seekers involved in the recent migration flow to Italian ports. We argue that in order to understand not only how traumatic experiences are told but also how they are overcome, it is necessary to focus on the reciprocal relationships and impact of the members of the communities in which migrants are received. Such approach shifts the focus from the content of stories toward the protagonists of their tellings and from asylum seekers as ‘subjects’ to asylum seekers as members of communities to which they and others contribute. The article is based on nar…
