'The Letter of Fermes: not only Marvels'
2009
La cosiddetta Lettera di Fermes, in una delle sue versioni in latino note in Inghilterra, è stata tradotta in inglese antico, all’interno delle Meraviglie dell’Oriente. Due codici anglosassoni conservano la traduzione in volgare e due il testo in latino nella versione su cui è esemplata la traduzione in inglese antico, con un ricco apparato iconografico a corredo del testo. Si analizzano anche le versioni continentali della Lettera e i loro rapporti con la Epistola Alexandri e il vasto materiale letterario legato alla figura di Alessandro il Macedone. Si illustra come Lettera di Fermes abbia influenzato anche il Liber monstrorum, la cosiddetta Lettera del Prete Gianni, alcune mappae mundi m…
Media, Power and Identity. Discursive Strategies in Ideologically-Oriented Discourses
2018
This book represents the third noteworthy product of the International Research Network MEMITÀ - “Memory, Identity, Integration to identify analysis models in media communication” (www.memita.scienzeumanistiche.eu). The most ambitious goal of MEMITA’ Network, by means of the produced reflections, is, perhaps, to facilitate social, cultural and behavioural transformations in contemporary societies, namely with a more conscious production and a more participatory reception of discourses, instruments from which everything is created and everything is transformed. The essays within this book constitute a critical approach from a linguistic and cultural point of view regarding authoritarianism’s…

Sombrero lids’ and children’s pots. An Early Bronze Age shaft grave from Tell Shiyukh Tahtani
2006
Tell Shiyukh Tahtani is one of the ancient mounds in the upper Syrian Euphrates Valley, which has been recently investigated by a team of the University of Palermo as part of the Tishreen Dam Salvage project1. Apart from various levels of occupation, ranging from the early third millennium B.C. to classical and Islamic times, these excavations have brought to light a fairly large amount of graves (about 90), which, beside providing many interesting finds, allow us to undertake a detailed study of Bronze Age burial practices at the site and in northern Syria as a whole. In dedicating the present paper to Uwe Finkbeiner, who has, as an excavator, made a great contribution to the archaeology o…

Medicina babilonese e antropologia medica. Sull’efficacia delle terapie per il ripristino del desiderio sessuale maschile in Mesopotamia
2021
Research on the medical systems of ancient Mesopotamia has progressed considerably in recent years and has been enriched by theoretical contributions from the social sciences. This paper aims to show how theories and methodologies of Medical Anthropology can be useful to understand the internal logic of nīš libbi therapies, which aim to regain the male sexual desire. The article explores Mesopotamian classificatory systems related to the body and pathologies, as well as the relationship between male and female agencies in the therapeutic itinerary. Other issues are investigated: recipients of treatment; symptomatology and ideology of binding; interrelationship between incantations and presc…
The Robotic Construction Kit as a Tool for Cognitive Stimulation in Children and Adolescents: The RE4BES Protocol
2019
Through numerous experiences, the robotics has been demonstrated to have good potential in the field of strengthening social skills in children with Special Educational Needs and in particular with autism spectrum disorder. There are still not many experimental studies on the cognitive enhancement and social skills of children with special needs conducted with robotics construction kits that, requiring both the construction of the robot body and the programming of its “mind“, bring into play a multiplicity of cognitive and social skills. For the aforementioned reasons our team from the University of Palermo and from the Center MetaIntelligenze ONLUS developed the treatment protocol RE4BES, …
