In light of the ends. Copyright hysteresis and private copy exception after the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and oth…

2015

In British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and others v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, the High Court of Justice in matter of private copy exception provides the twofold prime opportunity to shed light on the state of the art of copyright in the UK and to flesh out the idea of 'legal hysteresis’. I support the reintroduction of the private copy exception, possibly in a less narrow fashion, and I explain the reasons why I am confident that my expectations will be fulfilled.

Monete false. Le contraddizioni del capitalismo occidentale nella narrativa di Elvira Dones e Anilda Ibrahimi

2020

Il saggio analizza il modo in cui il modello economico occidentale diventa oggetto di narrazione in Vergine giurata di Elvira Dones e Rosso come una sposa di Anilda Ibrahimi. Questi due romanzi, pubblicati rispettivamente nel 2007 e nel 2008, reinterpretano da un punto di vista “diverso” le questioni economiche, dando voce ad una alterità che non è solo geografica, ma anche esistenziale e biologica. Lo sguardo impietoso di Dones e Ibrahimi si appunta sulle contraddizioni del capitalismo globale: il mito della ricchezza occidentale, che attraverso la retorica dei media colonizza l’immaginario migrante, si traduce narrativamente nell’ottica dello smascheramento. The essay analyzes how the Wes…

Learning from the Past : The Women Writers Project and Thirty Years of Humanities Text Encoding

2017

In recent years, intensified attention in the humanities has been paid to data: to data modeling, data visualization, “big data”. The Women Writers Project has dedicated significant effort over the past thirty years to creating what Christoph Schöch calls “smart clean data”: a moderate-sized collection of early modern women’s writing, carefully transcribed and corrected, with detailed digital text encoding that has evolved in response to research and changing standards for text representation. But that data—whether considered as a publication through Women Writers Online, or as a proof of the viability of text encoding approaches like those expressed in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Gu…

Metaphors in dialogue: feminist literary critics, translators and writers

2011

This article seeks to investigate the changing perception of the term “translation” in feminist TS thanks to a continuous dialogue with other fields such as, feminist literary criticism, post-structuralism, postcolonial studies and cultural studies that have borrowed and utilised the notion of translation. “Translation” has become a “travelling concept” for feminist scholars who have utilized it in a metaphorical way for a feminist critique of language and ideology. The essay proposes a new approach to feminist translation studies from an interdisciplinary perspective that takes into account key-concepts and figurative language in different feminisms in dialogue. Metaphors of translation an…

Vengo a vivere da te. Enclavi/exclavi: l''altro' e il rapporto con lo spazio urbano

2019

Among the factors involved in the development of individual personalities, the space, and especially home, is certainly the most significant one. The destabilization of the concept of home as a nest, and the consequent sense of belonging to it, find in the texts of migrant writers a new centrality, telling about others perspectives and imaginary with respect to the dominant one. Often forced to confine themselves in enclaves that exclude them from the territory of the natives, immigrants are driven to transform these spaces into exclusive places of their supportive diversity.
