Archetypoids: A new approach to define representative archetypal data
2015
[EN] The new concept archetypoids is introduced. Archetypoid analysis represents each observation in a dataset as a mixture of actual observations in the dataset, which are pure type or archetypoids. Unlike archetype analysis, archetypoids are real observations, not a mixture of observations. This is relevant when existing archetypal observations are needed, rather than fictitious ones. An algorithm is proposed to find them and some of their theoretical properties are introduced. It is also shown how they can be obtained when only dissimilarities between observations are known (features are unavailable). Archetypoid analysis is illustrated in two design problems and several examples, compar…
SULLA FIABA E SULLA LETTERATURA PER L'INFANZIA A PROPOSITO DI ALCUNI LIBRI
2023
L’articolo riflette su alcune proposte critiche contenute nel recente volume Di cosa parlano i libri per bambini. La letteratura per l’infanzia come critica radicale di Giorgia Grilli, studiosa di letteratura per l’infanzia da molti anni e traduttrice di classici della critica e della narrativa per ragazzi. Attingendo alle scienze cognitive, agli studi di antropologia, di psicologia degli archetipi, di filosofia e alla tradizione critica di settore, Grilli si interroga sul vero significato delle storie per bambini, sulla dimensione profondamente filosofica che alcuni classici per l’infanzia possiedono per dimostrare la complessità letteraria e antropologica di un ambito letterario ingiustam…
Revisiting the patient–physician relationship under the lens of value co-creation and defensive medicine
2021
PurposeThis study formulates a new archetypical model that describes and re-interprets the patient–physician relationship from the perspective of two widespread phenomena in the healthcare delivery process: value co-creation (VCC) and defensive medicine (DM).Design/methodology/approachGrounded in the existing literature on VCC and DM, the authors designed and conducted 20 in-depth interviews with doctors (and patients) about their past relationships with patients (and doctors). After putting the recorded interviews through qualitative analysis with a three-level coding activity, the authors built an empirically informed model to classify patient–physician relationships.FindingsThe authors i…
A Brief Comparison of the Unconscious as Seen by Jung and Lévi-Strauss
2015
Retracing the primary common aspects between anthropological and psychoanalytic thought, in this article, we will further discuss the main common points between the notions of the unconscious according to Carl Gustav Jung and Claude Levi-Strauss, taking into account the thought of Erich Neumann. On the basis of very simple elementary logic considerations centered around the basic notion of the separation of opposites, our observations might be useful for speculations on the possible origins of rational thought and hence on the origins of consciousness.
On Jung and Lévi-Strauss unconscious: A brief comparison
2013
Retracing the main common aspects between the anthropological thought and the psychoanalytic one, in this paper we will further discuss about the main common points between the notions of unconscious according to Carl Gustav Jung and Claude Lévi-Strauss, taking into account the Erich Neumann thought. On the basis of very simple elementary logic considerations centered around the basic notion of separation of opposites, what will be said might turn out to be useful for some speculations upon possible origins of the rational thought, hence for the origins of consciousness.
Le camere dello scirocco: archetipi bioclimatici della Palermo antica
2014
"Scendesi più in basso a man destra vi è una grotta seu camera di scirocco con fontana in mezzo e tutto un giro di mattoni di Valenza e più sopra un lavoro di crocchiole con diversi animali per buttar l’acqua". Queste parole di un atto notarile del 1691 fanno, per la prima volta, riferimento alla 'camera dello scirocco’, singolare esempio di archetipo per il raffrescamento passivo e parte di un inestimabile patrimonio, eredità di secoli di storia e del succedersi di popoli che hanno fatto di Palermo una città d'arte e cultura. Strutture ipogee che, insieme ad altri capolavori di ingegneria presenti nel sottosuolo palermitano, testimoniano quanto le potenzialità dell'ingegno umano siano in g…
Swine flu in Buenos Aires: beyond the principle of resilience
2011
PurposeThroughout April/May of 2009 a new type of virus surfaced in Mexico and the USA, denominated H1N1 or swine flu, that has been immediately disseminated worldwide. Even though the mortality of this virus has been slow, comparing with other antecedents, the mass‐media articulated a troublesome discourse that put the world in tenterhooks waiting for the evolution of the symptoms. Emulating the mythical archetype of what we knew as Spanish flu, which affected more than 50 million people during 1918 and 1920, journalism triggered panic in the four corners of the world. Under such a context, the purpose of this paper is to explore the connection between the coverage of mass‐media and press …
A discourse on the textual-psychoidal duality in the novel "Thorn and Laurel" ["Cierń i laur"] by Wladyslaw Lech Terlecki
2018
Discourse on textual-psychoidal duality in Władysław Lech Terlecki’s novel Cierń i laur (Thorn and Laurel). The topic of the novel Cierń i Laur (Thorn and Laurel) by Władysław Lech Terlecki (1933-1999) is the fate of Master - a nameless author of historical novels whose real model might be Józef Ignacy Kraszewski (1812-1887) - a nineteenth century author of historical and domestic fiction, well known in Europe of that time. His last romance coincides with his another novel written simultaneously - two fictional perspectives penetrate and illuminate each other. The play of mirror reflections, elements of chest-like composition and duality of inter-textual perspective find explanation in inte…
