The Spread of English
2013
English descends from a set of Germanic dialects spoken 4,000 years or so ago in a small area of the far south of Scandinavia. The arrival of Germanic speakers on the island of Britain a millennium and a half ago led to the growth of the language we now call English. This language remained confined to this island for most of its history and, indeed, was not spoken in all parts of the island until extremely recently. During the last five centuries native-speaker English also spread to the Western Hemisphere and then to the Southern Hemisphere, leading to the development of new varieties of the language in the colonised areas, but also to the massive loss of indigenous languages in the Americ…
Host specificity ofOschmarinella rochebruniandBrachycladium atlanticum(Digenea: Brachycladiidae) in five cetacean species from western Mediterranean …
2010
AbstractWe investigated patterns of specificity of liver flukes (fam. Brachycladiidae) in a community of cetaceans from the western Mediterranean. The liver and pancreas of 103 striped dolphins,Stenella coeruleoalba, 18 Risso's dolphins,Grampus griseus, 14 bottlenose dolphins,Tursiops truncatus, 8 common dolphins,Delphinus delphis, and 5 long-finned pilot whales,Globicephala melas, were analysed for brachycladiid species. Two species were found:Oschmarinella rochebruniin striped dolphins (prevalence (P): 61.2%; mean intensity (MI) (95% CI): 34.2 (25.7–45.6)), andBrachycladium atlanticumin striped dolphins (P: 39.8%; MI: 7.1 (4.8–13.1)) and a single individual of common dolphin (P: 12.5%; in…
Taking historical embeddedness seriously : Three historical approaches to advance strategy process and practice research
2016
International audience; Despite the proliferation of strategy process and practice research, we lack understanding of the historical embeddedness of strategic processes and practices. In this paper, we present three historical approaches with the potential to remedy this deficiency. First, realist history can contribute to a better understanding of the historical embeddedness of strategic processes; in particular, comparative historical analysis can explicate the historical conditions, mechanisms, and causality in strategic processes. Second, interpretative history can add to our knowledge of the historical embeddedness of strategic practices, and microhistory can specifically help to under…
El asesoramiento genético en los déficits visuales y auditivos
2008
espanolObjetivo: Las enfermedades hereditarias que afectan a la retina y la audicion presentan una amplia heterogeneidad clinica y genetica. Durante la pasada decada se han producido importantes avances en el conocimiento de la patogenia molecular de estas enfermedades y, actualmente, mas de 200 genes y loci estan implicados en enfermedades de la retina y mas de 60 son responsables de perdida de audicion. Metodo: El estudio genetico molecular es crucial para confirmar el diagnostico clinico, permite, en ocasiones, conocer el pronostico de la enfermedad, un consejo genetico y reproductivo adecuado y permite la posibilidad de crear grupos de pacientes geneticamente homogeneos para futuros ens…
LA FAMIGLIA COME ESISTENZIALE. SAGGIO DI ANTROPOLOGIA PEDAGOGICA
2014
Il libro tesse un elogio dell’amore dell’uomo e della donna e della vita di famiglia. S’alimenta dell’intuizione che quest’amore possa diventare generativo in modo eminente: fa amare d’essere, può rivelare che essere è per amare, tal che se ne possa dire come di un trascendentale. Un assunto entusiastico, cui l’autore perviene scegliendo il linguaggio asciutto di un’analisi fenomenologica delle intenzionalità che li costituiscono, ai loro diversi livelli di realtà e di senso. In avvio si prende atto che nelle società della tarda-modernità esistono forme differenziate di coppia, ognuna sembra dar luogo ad una coppia mista; che non c’è la famiglia, ma una vera e propria polinesia di famiglie.…
Una memoria di carta : i Firmaturi di Corleone (secc. XV-XVIII)
2011
Il saggio ricostruisce le modalità di organizzazione e di conservazione della memoria familiare tra invenzione di tradizioni e trasmissione di fonti autentiche.
1993
Let us sit on the terrace of a street cafe and watch the crowds pass by. The first basic unit we observe is the individual: tall, small, fat, long-faced, round-faced — the diversity is large. Among these individuals there will be a few with particular features, such as colour of skin or type of hair, which differ from the vast majority of local individuals, thereby indicating that they originated from another part of the world. We shall install a video camera at this site and will carry out the same observations simultaneously in Paris, Dakar, and Tokyo. When the films are then brought together and shown in the same room, the observers will not fail to note that the individuals of one city …
The Norwegian Hogganvik Stone as an Emblem of Social Status and Identity
2013
Abstract This paper scrutinizes the lexical content and sociocultural functions of the recently discovered Hogganvik runestone from 4th- or 5th-century Norway. Archaeological excavations in 2010 did not confirm the general expectation that the stone belongs to a grave and hence supported the suspicion that this type of runic monument neither constitutes a gravestone nor a prototypical memorial stone commemorating the dead. I argue that Hogganvik functions as an emblem of status and identity and hence prefigures sociocultural structures of power not unlike those evidenced by the early 7th-century Blekinge inscriptions with their lycophoric names, e.g., hAriwolAfz (KJ 96 Stentoften). This lex…
'Traveling Barbies' and rolling blackouts Images of mobility in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding
2003
AbstractThis article proposes to read Mira Nair's film Monsoon Wedding through a critical framework provided by transnational anthropology. Such a framework suggests that approaches celebrating transnational mobility must be balanced against nationally specific forms of constraint. It is argued that Monsoon Wedding bears out precisely such a balance. Nair's film suggests that the mobility of human lives may not be quite as unfettered as that of cultural commodities. Moreover, the filmic narrative insists on a differentiation within the Indian diasporic community. Similarly, some theorists of transnationalism have cautioned that the concept of a 'diasporic community' may serve to obfuscate c…
Was the Christian conquest of al-Andalus irreversible?
2012
The consideration of the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa as a turning point in history must necessarily be contemplated within the larger framework of the incapacity shown by Andalusi society to oppose the conquering dynamics manifested by the Iberian feudal aristocracies and monarchies since the conquest of Toledo (1085). This is a crucial matter that cannot be seen in isolation from the wider context of the expansion of Latin Christendom. In this regard, the present article suggests a comparison between the disparate fortunes of the Iberian kingdoms and the Latin principalities in the East through the critical assessment of three factors: (i) dissemination of, and role played by the ideolog…
