Circuits et courses automobiles dans la France du Nord : « le territoire du vide » ? (XIXe-XXIe siècle)
2022
L’histoire des circuits automobiles dans le Nord de la France s’apparente à ce jour à un « territoire du vide ». Une historiographie peu conséquente, des corpus archivistiques incertains, une distribution « historique » des pratiques et du spectacle sportif régional qui repose encore largement sur les « sports de base » et les sports collectifs, rendent ces « mondes automobiles » peu visibles. Il s’agira ici, à partir d’une approche spatiale, d’en retracer la genèse et d’inscrire leur développement ainsi que leurs usages dans une temporalité étirée (XIXe-XXIe siècles).
Dagens Rødhette i en flerkulturell kontekst – mulighet for en ny identitet?
2013
The starting point for this article is the tendency in recent Norwegian children’s and Ya fiction to thematize cultural encounters in an increasingly multicultural and globalized world. The picturebook Little Miss Eye Flap ( Skylappjenta , 2009) written by the Pakistani-Norwegian author and actor Iram Haq and illustrated by Endre Skandfer, presents a modern version of traditional folktales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel . However, the traditional structure of home – away – home gives particular emphasis to the phase of homelessness, not providing any safe return to harmony. This condition of liminal space between cultures is discussed in light of the concepts of reflexive ident…
Ladinia dolomitica
2020
Scopo di questo contributo è offrire una panoramica sull’area che viene usualmente definita “Ladinia dolomitica” e sulla varietà linguistica che vi viene tradizionalmente parlata, il ladino. L'articolo descrive brevemente la storia dell'area e dello sviluppo del ladino, e in seguito descrive le caratteristiche fonologiche, morfologiche, sintattiche e lessicali principali del ladino, che lo distinguono dalle vicine varietà italoromanze. In seguito si illustrano le peculiarità linguistiche dei singoli dialetti ladini, che sono parlati ognuno in una valle diversa delle Dolomiti. L'articolo è fortemente innovativo e originale, perché permette di ascoltare i file audio che esemplificano i tratti…
Subtitling in the digital era: TV crime drama series in domestic languages
2022
This study is set within the context of extensive academic attention to and exploration of audio and visual data as resources, methods and practices in the Digital Humanities (henceforth DH) (Gallitelli 2016). DH are seen and understood as a large and heterogeneous container that accommodates different research areas and affects various media. It is a relatively young field of study, inextricably linked to the development of information technologies within which the audiovisual dimension plays a central role. Audiovisual texts as forms of knowing, learning and entertaining have recently achieved a strategic position in the field of DH alongside current advances in computing. The digital acc…
Adapting to a Global Health Challenge: Managing Antimicrobial Resistance in the Nordics
2020
This article explores the adaptation of Norway and Sweden to one of the major challenges to global public health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Guided by assumptions derived from institutional theory, the article investigates whether, and, if so, how the AMR problem has affected the two Nordic countries’ administrative systems and frameworks for Nordic cooperation. The article builds on selected literature, expert interviews, and public documents. The findings suggest that the international impact on Norway and Sweden’s managerial adaptation to AMR is limited. Instead, adaptation takes place through incremental change within existing structures for disease prevention and control and follo…

Nordic research on educational and vocational guidance: a systematic literature review of thematic features between 2003 and 2016
2018
Educational and vocational guidance has received increased attention with regard to policymaking in the Nordic countries over the last 15 years. This has led to a growing interest in research-based knowledge. Updating an earlier article, we undertake a systematic literature review of guidance research in the Nordic countries during this 15-year period. Features and themes, both country-specific and in the region as a whole, are revealed through the analysis of a variety of research documents. Therefore, this article provides insight into research-based knowledge grounded in the Nordic context—relevant for both practitioners and policymakers on a national, Nordic, and international level. pe…
Contemporary performance art by Helena Walsh: embodiment as empowerment in an Irish context
2016
Ever since the 1970s, performance artists have used their bodies as a means to question the patriarchal control of women. In Ireland, where the body is at the center of debates over contraception, abortion and divorce, feminist performance art has proved particularly pertinent to substitute the real experiential body to the allegorical or fetishized female body. Through her performances, Helena Walsh incites the viewers to respond to the effect of ideology on the physical body. Embodiment, impersonation and incorporation make the body explicit and reopen historical wounds.

Recensione di La geografia del racconto. Sguardi interdisciplinari sul paesaggio urbano nella narrativa italiana contemporanea, a cura di Davide Papo…
2015
Il volume ha un impianto spiccatamente duale, che riflettendosi sul testo e marcandone la struttura riesce a produrre un confronto serrato nel quale la specificità degli sguardi non si disperde né confonde, alimentando un fitto gioco di rimandi e allacciamenti. L’introduzione, nella versione sdoppiata messa a punto dai curatori, svela pur non tematizzandolo esplicitamente il primo punto di contatto fra i due oriz- zonti disciplinari. Tanto la geografia quanto lo studio della letteratura vengono infatti presentati al lettore come discipline in crisi, attraversate cioè da trasformazioni profonde che ne hanno in tempi recenti messo radicalmente in questione i confini. Ed è proprio a partire da…
