"Lo specchio della terra": Down Below e le visioni fantasmagoriche di Leonora Carrington
2020
This article focuses on the phantasmagorical vision that can be observed in Leonora Carrington’s memoir Down Below, a work which mingles autobiography with some elements of fiction to tell about the author’s experience of mental disorder during World War II. The work is disseminated with hermetic messages animated by animal transfigurations of human beings and symbolic descriptions of space which are analysed here with the aim to restore literary value to the conscious phantasmagorical representation of this life experience. The memoir is here considered as an admirable surrealist narration of the young artist’s resistance towards family and social constraints. The rich visual language used…
Challenges concerning argumentative writing in a second language context
2018
The current study is based on parts of the data collected in a quasi-experiment conducted in four English classes of Norwegian upper secondary school students. The purpose of the quasi-experiment was to explore whether a teaching intervention based on systemic functional linguistics and genre-pedagogy would support students in improving their competence in writing argumentative texts in English. The improvement was measured by comparing evaluations of pre-and post-tests. The current study investigates what seemed to be the main challenges for Norwegian students concerning this type of genre in a second language context based on the pre-tests and the evaluations of the pre-tests. The most ch…
The Illegible Doctor’s Writing as a Visual Artifact and Creative Stimulation for Art Education
2014
El presente artículo analiza las posibilidades educativas de la particular escritura de los médicos, estudiando la componente gráfica de sus documentos, tanto históricos como recientes. Defendemos la escritura manual como un elemento gráfico importante para la educación artística, a partir de las premisas de la cultura visual. Nos basamos en los resultados positivos de la exposición “Caligrafías de la enfermedad. Letra de médico”, una muestra en la que los visitantes son protagonistas, intérpretes y constructores de significados. Utilizamos la metodología de los estudios de caso, incorporando la observación directa de varios grupos de visitantes. También aportamos otros datos de la experien…
Terahertz electrical writing speed in an antiferromagnetic memory
2018
The speed of writing of state-of-the-art ferromagnetic memories is physically limited by an intrinsic gigahertz threshold. Recently, realization of memory devices based on antiferromagnets, in which spin directions periodically alternate from one atomic lattice site to the next has moved research in an alternative direction. We experimentally demonstrate at room temperature that the speed of reversible electrical writing in a memory device can be scaled up to terahertz using an antiferromagnet. A current-induced spin-torque mechanism is responsible for the switching in our memory devices throughout the 12-order-of-magnitude range of writing speeds from hertz to terahertz. Our work opens the…
Teaching How to Write Essays in Secondary Education: Didactic Sequences Analysis
2021
[EN] The development of the writing expression competence, and in particular, the argumentative competence has awoken interest among the different educational levels. The essay has been studied from different pers-pectives in Secondary Education, however there are not any studies on how books teach the writing process at this level, where the mini-essay format is actually worked on more. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to learn more about the examples of didactic sequences to teach how to write essays/mini-essays in textbooks of third and fourth year of Secondary Education. The methodology applied is the analysis of the qualitative content and the gathering of information fro…

Le storie proibite sono le uniche che valga la pena di leggere, o così avrebbe potuto dire Oscar Wilde. Ma cosa c'è nella storia che suggerisce l'idea del segreto o del proibito? E per quale motivo le autrici contemporanee dovrebbero mostrare un siffatto fervore nel riscriverle? Negli ultimi decenni del ventesimo secolo e nei primi anni del nuovo millennio si è registrata una crescita della narrativa storica nella produzione delle donne: Margaret Atwood, Antonia S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Tracy Chevalier, Margaret Forster, Valerie Martin, Tony Morrison, Michèle Roberts, Katie Roiphe, Adhaf Soueif, Sarah Waters, Jeanette Winterson e molte altre [...] hanno fatto della storia, del coinvolgiment…
Sexuality and Translation: Rewriting Identities and Desires
2018
Abstract This chapter offers a panorama of research on sexuality and translation, a promising field of research still underexamined. Two directions are identified: the translation of sexuality and the sexualization of translation. The cooperation between disciplines has generated a number of new areas of study, including erotic/pornographic translation, (self)censorship in translation, and gay/queer translation. These promising lines of inquiry are briefly presented, and a few examples of analyses are added. Though much more work is needed, the critical alliance of translation and sexuality seems to be offering valuable insights into the ideological construction of a given society, particul…
