Muodokas vai maitovalas? Ei-hoikka ruumiinrakenne suomalaisissa internetin deittipalveluilmoituksissa
2014
Media- ja mainosmaailma kyllästää meitä tietynlaisten ”täydellisten” naisten ja miesten kuvilla. Lihavuus ei ole normatiivisen heterouden kannalta toivottua. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen tekstuaalisia tapoja, joilla suomalaisissa deittipalveluilmoituksissa tuodaan tietoon ei-hoikkaa ruumiinrakennetyyppiä. Aineisto käsittää 918 suomalaista ”Tositarkoituksella” -profiilia, joita tarkastelen tekstianalyyttisesti lähiluvun keinoin. Tarkastelu pohjaa kulttuurisen mallin teoriaan, jonka mukaan jaamme samassa kulttuurissa samanlaisia käsityksiä. Aineistosta pystyi erottamaan kuusi erilaista kategoriaa eli kulttuurista mallia sen suhteen, miten pyöreä tai XL-ruumiinrakenne otettiin esiin ja miten…
I ferri dell'Opra. Il teatro delle marionette siciliane
2013
Abstract – IT L'Opera dei pupi siciliana costituisce una preziosa testimonianza dell'intricata eredità storico-culturale della Sicilia. Le proclamazioni dell'Unesco e l'attenzione rivolta alle modalità di patrimonializzazione delle pratiche tradizionali, hanno favorito lo sviluppo di un'analisi, sia di tipo diacronico che sincronico, con una prospettiva antropologica tesa ad indagare le strategie di invenzione e costruzione della tradizione e della sua problematizzazione con particolare riferimento al concetto di “memoria culturale”. È con queste premesse che il presente lavoro si pone come obbiettivo di analizzare le strutture fondamentali, la grammatica e la sintassi dello spettacolo di O…
Educar para una ciudadanía crítica: una investigación a partir de los usos y finalidades de la historia escolar.
2020
En esta investigación se examinan los usos y finalidades de la historia en un instituto en relación a la formación ciudadana. El saber histórico tiene gran potencial crítico y permite adquirir criterios para actuar democráticamente. Se emplearán entrevistas semiestructuradas a dos docentes y cuestionarios y narrativas a su alumnado de 1.º y 4.º ESO. La investigación constata un posicionamiento docente híbrido, encontrando rasgos de modelos tradicionales en la enseñanza (el escaso tratamiento de temas controversiales), y críticos, como la creencia en el potencial transformador de la materia. En el alumnado se observarán posiciones objetivistas acerca del pasado, que conviven con ejemplos de …

Measuring Aksak Rhythm and Synchronization in Transylvanian Village Music by Using Motion Capture
2015
<p>Techniques based on motion capture can be useful in <span><span style="font-size: x-small;">analyzing a wide range of musical styles and practices</span></span>: in this case, Transylvanian village music. We focused on a repertoire known as “Gypsy songs of sorrow”, played by professional Gypsy musicians during parties and celebrations of their own community. Two parameters were the object of study: rhythmic duration, and synchronization between musicians (a violinist and a viola player). Results show that rhythm is a local variant of <em>aksak</em> and is based on two duration units (S=short, L=long) which respect the formula 2:3 &lt; S:L &am…
The Coaching Maps as a Tool for Developing Reflectivity in Organisations
2019
Our view of organizations, labour and the competencies of managers will soon need to change. In the postmodern and post-Fordist world, economy and organizations function differently than they did in the 20th century. Workers and managers will have to face new expectations. Not only has reflectivity become one of the key organisational factors; it is also taught, learnt and shaped. Drawing on an authoethnographic model and action-research, authors of this paper provide an education and development tool that managers and workers can use to develop and trigger reflectivity. Picture ethnography, coaching philosophy and hermeneutics are theoretical bases for the construction of a new model of se…
Modulation of the Endocannabinoids N-Arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) on Executive Functions in Human.
2013
Animal studies point to an implication of the endocannabinoid system on executive functions. In humans, several studies have suggested an association between acute or chronic use of exogenous cannabinoids (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and executive impairments. However, to date, no published reports establish the relationship between endocannabinoids, as biomarkers of the cannabinoid neurotransmission system, and executive functioning in humans. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between circulating levels of plasma endocannabinoids N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and executive functions (decision making, response inhibition and cognit…
All-Possible-Couplings Approach to Measuring Probabilistic Context.
2013
From behavioral sciences to biology to quantum mechanics, one encounters situations where (i) a system outputs several random variables in response to several inputs, (ii) for each of these responses only some of the inputs may "directly" influence them, but (iii) other inputs provide a "context" for this response by influencing its probabilistic relations to other responses. These contextual influences are very different, say, in classical kinetic theory and in the entanglement paradigm of quantum mechanics, which are traditionally interpreted as representing different forms of physical determinism. One can mathematically construct systems with other types of contextuality, whether or not …
Might as well jump: Sound affects muscle activation in skateboarding
2014
The aim of the study is to reveal the role of sound in action anticipation and performance, and to test whether the level of precision in action planning and execution is related to the level of sensorimotor skills and experience that listeners possess about a specific action. Individuals ranging from 18 to 75 years of age - some of them without any skills in skateboarding and others experts in this sport - were compared in their ability to anticipate and simulate a skateboarding jump by listening to the sound it produces. Only skaters were able to modulate the forces underfoot and to apply muscle synergies that closely resembled the ones that a skater would use if actually jumping on a ska…
Strategie autofinzionali in "Leggenda privata" di Michele Mari
2019
Leggenda privata (2017) is the latest in a series of autobiographical writings by Michele Mari. The novel is the factual narration of the author's childhood and adolescence, documented by family photos, but is also the narration of a fictional and fantastic situation of writing, where the reader is involved in live recording. In particular, the narrative framework is structured almost like a personal essay that engages dialogically the norms and potentials, opportunities and risks of a theory of autobiography. The purpose of this article is to explore the limits, the difficulties, indeed the impossibility of autobiographical writing in Leggenda Privata, which instead verges towards a comple…
