Sex and translation: On women, men and identities
2014
Synopsis Much has been written on gender and language over the last two decades with an emphasis on feminist translation, on the translation of woman's body or on the re-discovery of a growing genealogy of translating — and translated — women in diverse languages and cultures (see Santaemilia & von Flotow, 2011). In this paper we wish to focus on the translation of sex-related language. Without a doubt, sex — and more specifically, sex-related language — is overwhelmingly present in our daily lives, in our texts, in our symbolic projections. Though traditionally proscribed for a number of reasons, the study of the translation of sex is nowadays more openly dealt with. Translating the langua…
An extended version of the theory of planned behavour: Prediction of intentions to quit smoking using past behaviour as moderator
2010
It was hypothesised that: (i) intentions to quit smoking were predictable from group identity, self-identity, moral norms and past quit attempts, beyond the components of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), and (ii) that past experiences with the behaviour (quit attempts) would increase the predictive utility of the extended TPB model on intentions. The data was collected among 357 daily smoking students (M = 24 years). The TPB components accounted for 12.3% of the variance in quitting intentions, while the extension variables added 16.5% to the explained variance in intentions beyond the impact of the TPB. Past behaviour had the strongest impact on intentions (α = 0.30), followed by mor…
Food waste and out-of-home-dining: antecedents and consequents of the decision to take away leftovers after dining at restaurants
2021
The rising trend of eating out has contributed noticeably to the increase in food waste generated by the hospitality sector. Therefore, it is essential to understand the drivers of food waste generation and the mitigation intentions of diners. Academic research in the area so far is fragmented, with particularly limited insights regarding the intentions to take away leftovers after dining out. The present study addresses this gap by using the theoretical lens of Behavioural Reasoning Theory (BRT) to examine the antecedents of diners' intentions to take away leftovers and how these are associated with their food over-ordering and leftover reuse routine. The hypothesised associations are test…
Análisis geodemográfico y planificación territorial en España
2002
This article studies the current role of geodemographic analysis in Spanish spatial planning; its importance, gaps and problems. This is done both from a theoretical and planning perspectives. The theoretical perspective studies the references to the population in the legal norm of the several forms of planning, and in particular in the very recent Autonomous Regions' laws. The planning perspective refers to the specific spatial plans that have been aproved. The article identifies three types of spatial planning: urban planning, town and country planning and environmental planning. Therefore, excluding the sectorial planning with spatial incidence.
Deficiencies of regulation of euthanasia in legal acts of foreign countries
2014
Today in most countries the practising of euthanasia is not permissible and as in any case of a criminal offence, which endangers the life of a person, criminal liability applies here. However, the analysis of legal norms in foreign criminal codes reveals several deficiencies, ranging from – the absence of legal regulation which leads to a paradoxical situation, when ignoring the motive and aim of the offence, euthanasia is qualified according to the article of the criminal code which provides for liability for murder with no mitigating circumstances, but assisted suicide liability does not apply at all, – to including special legal norms pertaining to this problematic issue, in the structu…
Il paternalismo giuridico tra principio del danno e moralismo giuridico. Alcune riflessioni a partire dal libro di Giorgio Maniaci
2021
Nell’articolo si sostiene che il paternalismo giuridico non costituisce un autonomo principio di criminalizzazione. A tal fine, si analizza il ruolo dell’immoralità dell’atto nel funzionamento dei tre princìpi di criminalizzazione del moralismo giuridico, del principio del danno e del paterna- lismo giuridico: la tesi è che, al di là delle apparenze, tutti e tre questi princìpi suppongano che l’immoralità dell’atto costituisca l’oggetto intenzionale di una criminalizzazione legittima. Que- sta tesi è sostenuta, dapprima, con riferimento specifico al principio del danno, del quale si pro- spettano diversi possibili tipi di moralizzazione, e poi, più diffusamente, con riferimento al pa- terna…
African Law in Action
2014
AbstractThis article discusses the issue of the effectiveness of law in Africa, looking at it from a perspective different from those commonly used in dealing with this theme. It proposes an analysis of the interactions between traditional, religious and official law in the course of the historical development of African law through the lens of the stratigraphic method. The analysis takes into consideration the different legal layers that have been posed upon each other. The work focuses on areas of law that are not commonly considered in this regard; in addition, the discourse is conducted using examples taken from jurisdictions that are not normally present in debates on African law. This…
Il futuro del diritto

Family Needs and Female Work: A Comparative Survey of Public Policies and Private Choices on Equal Opportunities
2015
Abstract Recent studies show that Italian women’s education and skills are high and that they have access to the job market, but, at the same time, there are many difficulties in maintaining a job in certain periods of their lives. Exactly, the critic period is connected to the choice of having children or a “traditional family” and, in general, with family duties. To explain the different percentage of women participation to job market in different countries, recent studies have looked to peculiar institutional structure of “municipal” job market and to social support services. The public offer of childcare and family support explains lots of the differences among different countries, but …
