Sobre una literatura europea
2015
"La necesidad de un cambio en la literatura de los pueblos es algo ya demasiado evidente, como para que sea necesario malgastar las palabras. Los acontecimientos, las instituciones, las nuevas creencias, los cambios de costumbres y las pasiones de distinta manera forjadas han creado la necesidad de una nueva literatura que exprese la situación y las opiniones de la civilización moderna; porque la literatura, cuando no se adentra en la vida civil y política de las naciones, es terreno abonado a nimiedades y solo sirve para reblandecer el espíritu". Con estas palabras arranca uno de los textos más célebres de Giuseppe Mazzini, D’una letteratura europea (1829). El texto, que ofrecemos en tradu…

Paper contagions
2022
Over the weeks of forced self-confinement imposed on us by the pandemic, many of us discovered a sort of thematic library, one which this exceptional and dramatic event seems to have generated by itself: novels, stories, and creative writing more generally that tell of epidemics and quarantines, contagions and pandemics.
Anglicisms and Italian Equivalents in the Era of Covid-19: A Corpus-Based Study of Lockdown
2020
The whole globe has been going through an unprecedented historical moment since World War II. COVID-19, the disease against which we have all been trying to defend ourselves for several months now, has spread worldwide with a significant impact in all spheres of life. With the pandemic outburst and English the language of globalization, several Anglicisms have entered the lexicon of other languages, especially Italian, traditionally open to foreign words. COVID-19-related Anglicisms are used in Italian to such an extent that we can reasonably refer to them as the ‘language of pandemic’. The English words and expressions employed in Italian to refer to the current disease are numerous. Some …

Ver, imaginar, escribir el mar
2014
Como lo han mostrado numerosos poetas y escritores, el mar permanece desde siempre en el imaginario humano y se manifiesta, por medio de imágenes simbólicas, tanto en los textos narrativos o poéticos, como en las más diversas creaciones artísticas. Según las épocas y las corrientes literarias e las mutaciones del pensamiento humano, debidas a factores múltiples (coyunturales, históricos, sociales, etc.)presenta unas caracterizaciones que reflejan el estado de ánimo del individuo y su medio cultural. También, como lo demuestran los estudios en el campo de la publicidad y del turismo, el mar ejerce un atractivo innegable en la sociedad contemporánea. Lugar imaginario de nuestros temores y de …
The Historiae Florentini populi by Poggio Bracciolini. Genesis and Fortune of an Alternative History of Florence
2020
During the last years of his life, Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), former Apostolic Secretary and Chancellor of Florence, was working on a long text that he characterized, in a letter written in 1458, as lacking a well-defined structure. This was most probably his history of the people of Florence (Historiae Florentini populi, the title given in Jacopo’s dedication copy to Frederick of Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino), revised and published posthumously by Poggio’s son, Jacopo Bracciolini (1442-1478). Contrary to what is often assumed, Poggio’s treatise was not a continuation, nor even a complement, to Leonardo Bruni’s (1370-1444) official history of Florence. It concentrates on the most recent…
Ethnic prejudice, resilience, and perception of inclusion of immigrant pupils among Italian and Catalan teachers
2021
In the current study we investigated the relationship between ethnic prejudice and resilience and the perception of inclusion of immigrant students among primary and middle school teachers in two different countries (Italy and Spain). Participants were 315 teachers: 75 Catalan women, 25 Catalan men, 202 Italian women, and 13 Italian men. Participants completed the Classical and Modern Racial Prejudice Scale, the Resilience Process Questionnaire, and an ad hoc questionnaire evaluating teachers’ perceptions about immigrant students and their inclusive education process. The results showed two different models: The first one, referring to Italian teachers, suggested that the resilience compone…
We Had to Feed the People: The Italian Lira and the Political Economy of Currency in British Eritrea, 1941–1950
2021
Following the occupation of Eritrea in 1941, British authorities in London promoted a currency policy aimed at replacing the Italian lira with a sterling-based currency basket. In May 1942, they opted for the enforcement of the East African shilling as the new legal tender. The lire, however, did not disappear overnight. Their circulation was tolerated—and, in some cases, even encouraged—by British authorities in Asmara, which exploited the small deal of autonomy they enjoyed from London to adapt the new monetary system to the needs of local governance. The case study is a useful lens to analyse the multiplicity of interests that shaped the political economy of currency of the United Kingdo…
