The Hangman's Game: Karen King-Aribisala's "diary of creation"
2008
The structure of King Aribisala's multi-layered novel "The Hangman's Game" is complex: each narrative thread reverberates onto the other, creating an intricate network of (sometimes distorting) mirrors, suggesting an interconnectedness between past and present, reality and fiction, living and writing. This paper endeavours to explore this complex relationship and to demonstrate how the protean phenomenon of resurgence informs "The Hangman's Game".
Social Inequality in French Education : Extent and Complexity of the Issues
2007
Educational inequality is a matter of acute concern in France as it is in most democratic countries. We rely on schools to assess the skill levels of all students and on this basis to guide them into employment in a way which is impartial and independent of their social origins. However, since the end of the 1960s, French sociology has very cogently denounced sharp and persistent inequalities both in access to different levels of education and in academic success understood more narrowly. This critique took the form of a general theory, presented by Bourdieu and Passeron in 1970 in Reproduction, which made social inequalities a necessary outcome of the way in which school systems worked.
Explaining the Adoption and Habits of Playing Exergames: The Role of Physical Activity Background and Digital Gaming Frequency
2015
Exergaming, a form of digital gaming that combines physical exercise and video games, has become increasingly common in recent years.

The study is based on analyzing an online survey sample of 1,091 respondents through contingency tables, the Pearson’s χ2 tests of independence, and the Cramér’s V coefficients. The results reveal interest…
Inadempimento e mora debendi nelle obbligazioni pecuniarie tra diritto europeo ed interno.
2014
Il lavoro di tesi muove dall’idea di ricostruire, analizzando le attuali linee di tendenza del diritto comunitario e interno in materia di obbligazioni aventi ad oggetto una somma di denaro, il sistema che governa la vicenda patologica che si schiude con il ritardo nel pagamento. Infatti, una serie di disposizioni di matrice europea e municipale contribuiscono a revocare in dubbio la tradizionale unitarietà del pagamento eseguito con pezzi monetari, cui si è venuto affiancando, anche sulla spinta della prassi, un paradigma nuovo di adempimento dell’obbligazione pecuniaria, che può definirsi “necessariamente intermediato”. In esso risulta indefettibile, per volontà della legge o dei privati,…
