The neurolinguistics of the US/THEM structure in aphasia
2015
The aim of the paper was to show the importance of distinction between US and THEM which is disrupted in the patients with aphasia and leads to social isolation. It should be stressed that the distinction between US and THEM is deeply rooted in couture and language. It has great social and psychological significance since foreigners – speaking imperfect language are as a rule excluded from the society. Hence, aphasic persons tend also to be excluded and they become an object of pity. Neurolinguistic aspects of aphasia are also discussed. It is stressed that the structure of person and number constitute essential conditions (along with time) for the proper use of verbs. After presenting diff…
The impact of deep dysgraphia on graphemic output buffer disorders
2004
This article describes an investigation into the residual writing skills of a severely dysgraphic patient (DA). We found that they were powerfully influenced by a number of lexical variables (lexicality, frequency, imageability, length and geminates). His error pattern was characterized by semantic, lexical, substitution, deletion errors and fragment responses that preserved the first letter. Thus, DA's written spelling was characterized by both deep dysgraphic and graphemic output buffer effects. It is proposed that this pattern of performance represents a new "putative functional syndrome."
Selective proper name anomia in a patient with asymmetric cortical degeneration
1998
All cases of selective anomic deficit for proper names described until now are a consequence of focal cerebral lesions. In the present paper, we report the case of a patient, AF, with a deficient access to proper names of persons and normal access to common names probably subsumed by a degenerative process of the left cerebral hemisphere. MRI evidenced an atrophy of the left temporal lobe and SPECT highlighted hypoperfusion of the left hemisphere. Neuropsychological examination documented a deficient production of proper names belonging to famous personalities both on visual presentation and verbal definition. Moreover, on verbal fluency tasks, AF was poor for the categories of famous peopl…
Anomia, funzionalismo e teorie subculturali nello studio del crimine e della devianza
2017
Il saggio introduce i principali assunti delle teorie struttural-funzionaliste della devianza e del crimine che si concentrano sulle condizioni strutturali dei contesti sociali, tenendo conto della distribuzione delle opportunità legittime e illegittime o dello squilibrio istituzionale di potere e, conseguentemente, focalizzando la propria attenzione sull’ordine sociale, sul consenso sociale e sul controllo sociale. Il saggio, in particolare, analizza lo sviluppo storico della prospettiva dai classici alle analisi contemporanee.
Uno e nessuno. L'identità negata nel tempo della globalizzazione
2003
La proposta fatta dell’autrice di questo volume è quella di “un’identità trascendentalizzata”, determinatasi mediante la riflessione neutra, “pensiero dialogante con i tanti Nessuno”. Tale esercizio, oltrepassando i contrassegni sociali dello status, del ruolo, del genere, è in grado di volgersi, privo di ogni paludamento spazio-temporale, alla radura autentica del nostro “Sé”. La società di domani potrà allora divenire una società di individui che, pur chiamati con il loro nome, siano disposti a divenire “Nessuno” nella pratica democratica della decisione comune.
