Critica/crisi. Una questione degli studi culturali
2014
Critica/crisi è un'endiadi fondamentale per il pensiero moderno e contemporaneo. Essa ha caratterizzato la nascita del moderno concetto di cultura. L'esistenza di numerosi e fecondi "cultural turns" è la prova più evidente che la modernità si è immaginata a partire dai concetti di critica e crisi. Nel volume autori italiani e stranieri si confrontano sui numerosi significati dei due concetti e sulla loro relazione in campo teorico, culturale e storico, mettendo l'accento sul ricco repertorio di tradizioni che negli ultimo due secoli e mezzo si sono concentrate sul concetto di cultura.
Sexual Compulsivity Scale: Adaptation and Validation in the Spanish Population
2013
Sexual compulsivity has been studied in relation to high-risk behavior for sexually transmitted infections. The aim of this study was the adaptation and validation of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale to a sample of Spanish young people. This scale was applied to 1,196 (891 female, 305 male) Spanish college students. The results of principal components factor analysis using a varimax rotation indicated a two-factor solution. The reliability of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale was found to be high. Moreover, the scale showed good temporal stability. External correlates were examined through Pearson correlations between the Sexual Compulsivity Scale and other constructs related with HIV prevention. …
Growing old with antiretroviral therapy or elderly people in antiretroviral therapy: two different profiles of comorbidity?
2022
Abstract Background In persons living with HIV (PLWH), the burden of non-communicable chronic diseases increased over time, because of aging associated with chronic inflammation, systemic immune activation, and long-term exposure to the combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods To explore the association of chronological age, age at first ART, and exposure to ART with non-communicable chronic diseases, we performed a cross-sectional analysis to evaluate the prevalence of comorbidities in patients enrolled in the SCOLTA Project, stratified by groups of chronological age (50–59 and 60–69 years) and by years of antiretroviral treatment (ART, ≤ 3 or > 3 years). Results In 1394 subjec…
Un questionnaire sur les archives des sciences humaines et sociales en France
2006
Depuis une decennie au moins, plusieurs demarches ponctuelles ont porte l’attention sur l’importance d’une discussion sur les archives des sciences sociales et sur l’urgence de mesures conservatoires pour sauvegarder un patrimoine scientifique menace. Ces initiatives se prolongent aujourd’hui dans une demarche plus large, nationale, qui mobilise les etablissements de recherche et d’enseignement et les Archives nationales. La Maison des sciences de l’homme de Dijon a entrepris l’elaboration d’un inventaire des gisements conserves en France dans le domaine des sciences humaines et sociales en etablissant le questionnaire que nous proposons ici.
Framing Migrant Memories: Lampedusa's Fragmented Archives
2022
The small island of Lampedusa, a key destination of the Central Mediterranean Route connecting Africa to Italy, offers a special observatory on the contemporary trans-Mediterranean odyssey of migrants, although often transformed into a “border spectacle.” Upon landing, migrants are stripped of their belongings, as these are impounded by the authorities. Such an act of dispossession is intended to deprive them of their histories, family ties and cultural identity. Photographer Mario Badagliacca has portrayed a selection of these lost and retrieved items in his work Fragments (2013). Each object reveals expectations, fears, desires, endurance, but cannot tell a full story. They are fragments …
Política de la supervivencia / Politics of Survival
2017
Resumen: Distintas intervenciones desde prácticas activistas y culturales en torno al VIH escenifican poéticas y políticas del resto corporal en las que se juegan, por un lado, una reorganización de los modos en que se dramatiza en umbral entre lo vivo y lo muerto en lo público –redefiniendo así el tejido mismo de lo que llamamos “comunidad”—; y por otro, indican los modos en que estos activismos impulsan una disputa sobre los “marcos de temporalización” desde los cuales lo viviente se vuelve reconocible políticamente y donde la noción de supervivencia adquiere una centralidad decisiva. Combinando materiales heterogéneos el artículo busca iluminar los modos en que los activismos y las cultu…
Marta Dillon y Joaquín Hurtado : crónicas de la enfermedad crónica. / Marta Dillon and Joaquín Hurtado: chronicles of a chronic disease
2017
Resumen: A través de la lectura de las crónicas sobre el VIH/sida de Marta Dillon y Joaquín Hurtado, analizo cómo estos autores narran la convivencia crónica con el VIH que les impone el aprendizaje de nuevas formas de gestionar la vida y de autorrepresentarse. Estudio las crónicas no solo como estrategias terapéuticas para lidiar con los profundos cambios corporales y emocionales que trae consigo el diagnóstico, sino también como estrategias políticas para incidir en la normalización y percepción social de la enfermedad como entidad crónica. La reescritura del cuerpo, consustancial al devenir crónico de la enfermedad, enfrenta a los autores a cuestionar la improductividad o incapacidad de …
The Saving Narratives of Daša Drndić
2018
The starting point for this paper is the assumption that by obsessive revisiting the events of World War II, the Croatian writer Dasa Drndic attempts to influence indirectly the present. It parallels her narrators’ declarations who—with a great dose of probability—can be simultaneously read as her alter egos. Hence, the article investigates and describes the strategy whose main aim is to retain memory about the past. In Drndic’s texts this function is achieved through the acts of archiving, writing down, and grouping. These acts constitute non-standard ways to enhance the literary text with, for example, whole pages filled with the victims’ names (integrated within the text or acting as a p…
Guardar como. La historia y las fuentes digitales
2011
Este artículo pretende analizar los cambios que vive la historia en el mundo digital. En particular, se centra sobre la digitalización de las fuentes. Por un lado, trata las implicaciones de la conversión digital de antiguos documentos escritos; por otro, se plantea el significado de aquellas otras que llamamos "nacidas digitales". El ensayo repasa algunas de las distintas actitudes de los historiadores ante esas modificaciones y señala que necesitamos atender a sus críticas, pero que también hay otros aspectos que debemos estudiar. En suma, defiende que la historia digital supone un reto sobre el que los historiadores han de reflexionar. This article analyzes the changes that the discipli…
“This England”: Re-Visiting Shakespearean Landscapes and Mediascapes in John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010)
2017
The paper will offer a reading of John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010), a 90-minute experimental feature film that has been defined as “one of the most vital and original artistic responses to the subject of immigration that British cinema has ever produced” (Mitchell). It will focus on the multifarious ways in which the film makes the “canonical” literary material that it incorporates, including Shakespeare, interact with rarely seen archival material from the BBC regarding the experience of Caribbean and South Asian immigrants in 1950s and 1960s Britain. It will argue that through this interaction the familiarity of Western “canonical” literature re-presents itself as an uncanny landscap…
