Metaficció irònica a «Estremida memòria», de Jesús Moncada
2006
The reception of Jesús Moncada’s work at the beginning of his literary career was determined by the debate between «rural novel» and «urban novel», up to the point of directing its reading towards an elegiac dimension, at the expense of other distinctive traits of greater importance. In this sense, Moncada’s work has been understood, in an almost exclusive way, as a literary recording of the collective memory. The present article suggests a different reading of «Estremida memòria», in order to discover the essenciality of the irony in the author’s world, in this case, through the characteristic procedures of metafiction: metalepsi and metatextuality. The recreation of Mequinenza’s history i…
Gli ebrei in Italia, il dibattito su Israele e la questione ebraica. Quattro riflessioni recenti
2022
La storia degli ebrei nell'Italia contemporanea è stata molto discussa dalla recente storiografia. In questa nota si prendono in esame quattro libri pubblicati tra il 2018 e il 2020 che affrontano il tema da prospettive differenti come il ruolo politico degli ebrei nell'Italia liberale e negli anni della grande guerra, la storia delle persecuzioni in età fascista, il problematico avvento della Repubblica, la raffigurazione degli ebrei e di Israele nelle sinistre italiane e la più generale percezione di Israele nel mondo politico e culturale italiano.
Da Lotta continua alla religione civile. La memoria di Peppino Impastato nelle storie di quattro militanti
2019
Il saggio vuole studiare il modo in cui si è trasformata la memoria pubblica di Peppino Impastato, ucciso dalla mafia nel 1978 a Cinisi, paese vicino Palermo. Per farlo, si seguiranno i percorsi biografici di quattro militanti di Lotta continua, il gruppo politico nel quale Impastato aveva militato fino al 1976, che si collocava nel vasto e complesso mondo della sinistra italiana esterna al Partito comunista. In particolare, ci si concentrerà sul modo in cui la memoria di Impastato si è intrecciata con lo stratificarsi del discorso pubblico sulla mafia e con i riti pubblici legati ad altre vittime della criminalità organizzata siciliana. Cet article présente la façon dont la mémoire publiqu…
Tiempo de memoria, olvido y manipulación : los jesuitas españoles expulsos y la vindicación de la conquista de América
2021
Este trabajo se incluye en el Proyecto de Investigación «Cambios y resistencias sociales en los territorios del Mediterráneo Occidental en la Edad Moderna. Un análisis comparativo entre el centro y la periferia mediterránea de la Monarquía Hispánica» con referencia HAR2011- 27898-C02-01, financiado por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad. Su autora se beneficia además del programa VALi+d para investigadores en formación de la Generalitat Valenciana. Desde el exilio y bajo los auspicios del conde de Floridablanca, un grupo particular de jesuitas expulsos participaron en la polémica del Nuevo Mundo llevando a cabo una vigorosa defensa del colonialismo español. Mediante las apologías de…
Gaze cueing in naturalistic scenes under top-down modulation – Effects on gaze behaviour and memory performance
2022
Humans as social beings rely on information provided by conspecifics. One important signal in social communication is eye gaze. The current study (n = 93) sought to replicate and extend previous findings of attentional guidance by eye gaze in complex everyday scenes. In line with previous studies, longer, more and earlier fixations for objects cued by gaze compared to objects that were not cued were observed in free viewing conditions. To investigate how robust this prioritization is against top-down modulation, half of the participants received a memory task that required scanning the whole scene instead of exclusively focusing on cued objects. Interestingly, similar gaze cueing effects oc…
Progress towards innovative and energy efficient logic circuits
2020
Abstract The integration of superconductive nanowire logic memories and energy efficient computing Josephson logic is explored. Nanowire memories are based on the integration of switchable superconducting nanowires with a suitable magnetic material. These memories exploit the electro-thermal operation of the nanowires to efficiently store and read a magnetic state. In order to achieve proper memory operation a careful design of the nanowire assembly is necessary, as well as a proper choice of the magnetic material to be employed. At present several new superconducting logic families have been proposed, all tending to minimize the effect of losses in the digital Josephson circuits replacing …
Revisiting CD8 T-cell ‘Memory Inflation’: New Insights with Implications for Cytomegaloviruses as Vaccine Vectors
2020
Murine models of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection have revealed an exceptional kinetics of the immune response. After resolution of productive infection, transient contraction of the viral epitope-specific CD8 T-cell pool was found to be followed by a pool expansion specific for certain viral epitopes during non-productive &lsquo

The effects of mobile banking application user satisfaction and system usage on bank-customer relationships
2016
This study examines mobile banking (m-banking) application usage in Finland by linking it with customer-bank relationship development. Specifically, we examine how usage is related to relationship commitment, overall satisfaction, intention to recommend the bank and future intentions to remain with the bank. A survey was used to collect data from experienced mbanking application users. In total, 273 valid responses were received. The results support the hypotheses and reveal that user satisfaction with m-banking application usage has a strong positive association with usage of m-banking applications. Usage, in turn, was positively related to all examined bank-customer relationship related v…
