The Unseen, the Discouraged, and the Outcast : Expressivity and the Foundations of Social Recognition
2018
AbstractThis article analyzes different pathologies of social affirmation and examines the grounds of social recognition from the point of view of the concept of expression. The red thread of the text is provided by Tove Jansson’s fictional works, and the focus will be on three cases in particular (the magic hat, the invisible girl and the figure of the Groke). The article sets out from the phenomenological distinction between the sensible expression, on the one hand, and the expressed content, on the other. By focusing on the three cases, the article distinguishes and analyses the fundamental structures of communal life and explicates different ways in which social affirmation can be one-s…
Everyday aesthetics on staycation as a pathway to restoration
2017
This multidisciplinary study enforces a suggested link between everyday aesthetic experiences and restoration. The studied phenomenon is staycation, a short-term holiday spent at home or at one’s home region, to identify how people use a (culturally) familiar environment for everyday aesthetic enjoyment and how that influences restoration. This focus minimises the potential effect of long-distance travel, novelty and escapism to restoration. Staycation has not been studied before from the perspective of everyday aesthetics and restoration. I explore staycation through a lens of qualitative media analysis; history and empirical research of holiday-making; and theories in everyday aesthetics.…

Oggetti narrati, oggetti narranti. Le scarpe come simbolo, racconto e rappresentazione
2022
Gli oggetti hanno voce, se hanno vita. Bisogna prima interrogarsi sulla vita delle cose per poter ascoltare le loro voci. Mettendo a fuoco un caso esemplare, le scarpe, si prenderanno in considerazione sia gli oggetti narrati nei componimenti letterari, sia gli oggetti narranti, cioè quegli oggetti simbolici che sono capaci di raccontare uno stile di vita. Infine si esaminerà la relazione tra design e narrazione al fine di evidenziare le strategie e dispositivi narrativi attraverso cui il designer riesce a rendere significante la voce degli oggetti nelle istallazioni artistiche. Objects have a voice, if they have a life. We need earlier to think of the life of things in order to listen to t…
The Translation of Sex-Related Language: The Danger(s) of Self-Censorship(s)1
2009
While censorship is an external constraint on what we can publish or (re)write, self-censorship is an individual ethical struggle between self and context. In all historical circumstances, translators tend to produce rewritings which are ‘acceptable’ from both social and personal perspectives. The translation of swearwords and sex-related language is a case in point, which very often depends on historical and political circumstances, and is also an area of personal struggle, of ethical/moral dissent, of religious/ideological controversies. In this paper we analyse the translation of the lexeme fuck into Spanish and Catalan. We have chosen two novels by Helen Fielding—Bridget Jones’s Diary (…
