'L'ADAMO, OVVERO IL MONDO CREATO' DI TOMMASO CAMPAILLA. UN CONTRIBUTO AL RINNOVAMENTO DELLA CULTURA SCIENTIFICA E LETTERARIA IN SICILIA
2022
L’articolo analizza L’Adamo, ovvero il Mondo creato, poema scientifico-filosofico di Tommaso Campailla (1668-1740), accademico modicano, che partecipò con i suoi esperimenti scientifici e la sua opera letteraria a diffondere la filosofia cartesiana e le nuove mirabili scoperte in ogni campo del sapere. Nel poema Campailla ricorre al motivo tradizionale del viaggio di conoscenza per squadernare al Primo Uomo, Adamo, le straordinarie meraviglie della creazione, tentando una sintesi tra istanze scientifiche e nuove direttrici della poesia settecentesca.
Transcreation and the professions
2014
In Cultus 6 David Crystal said "I don't expect my translator to be a mind-reader [...] knowing about the presuppositions and intentions underlying the utterances made by the participants". Issue 7 will focus on this very point. Who should translate, and who is translating the presuppositions and intentions underlying the utterances made by the participants in the real world? A term for this process is "transcreation", which has been used in the Arts (in particular poetry and drama) to talk about transposition into a different language or into a different medium (a poem is transcreated into an art form or onto the stage). Transcreation has also been closely linked with localisation, but diff…
Suicidio e autocensura nelle traduzioni italiane dei Frauenromane
2015
Fra i numerosi romanzi tedeschi che si imposero sulla scena editoriale dell’Italia degli anni Venti e Trenta, i Frauenromane, romanzi scritti da donne e rivolti a donne, veicolavano il modello della Neue Frau weimariana, donna lavoratrice, economicamente indipendente e sessualmente emancipata. La circolazione di alcuni di questi volumi fu ostacolata dal regime fascista che, impensierito dal potenziale anticonformista di questi testi, era attento ad assegnare ben altri ruoli alle donne italiane, isolando ogni minaccia di sovversività.Uno dei temi più scomodi – aborto, emancipazione femminile – era il suicidio, ritenuto tanto immorale quanto pericoloso per il suo rischio emulativo. Tramite un…
A Note on Tourism and Regional Development: some Policy Issues in the Post-crisis Framework
2014
In this final note we offer some considerations about the current role of tourism for regional development by focusing mainly on two aspects, the impact of the economic crisis together with the institutional changes derived from it and the new policy issues arising from the new framework.
Understanding the Microfoundations of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: Toward a Value-Based Method and Theory
2023
Despite the progress made by scholars, empirically investigating entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) remains problematic because of the inherent complexities and nonlinearities of interactions among EE actors. The research to date has shown a tendency to focus on macrolevel ecosystem dynamics while neglecting the microfoundations of EEs. We contend that this negligence is due to a lack of appropriate methodologies that can capture EE microfoundations through a systemic value-based perspective. To fill this gap, in this article, we propose a novel methodological approach, the value system method, which enables framing EEs through critical causal interdependences between key actors’ business mod…
Shopping malls and neoliberal trends in Southern European cities: post-metropolitan challenges for urban planning policy
2016
Whilst shopping malls have been explored at length by critical urban studies, there has been little exploration of their role in restructuring the practice of urban and spatial planning. This article uses the shopping mall as an object of study in the light of the neoliberal trends and post-metropolisation in Southern Europe, with the aim of exploring challenges for urban governance and planning practice and with a focus on the role of the ongoing economic crisis. A threefold exploratory framework – the ‘lost-in-time scenario’, the ‘messianic mall model’ and the ‘(im)mature planning explanation’ – is used to make sense of the local versions of shopping mall development in Lisbon (Portugal) …
Uncertainties in shoreline position analysis: the role of run-up and tide in a gentle slope beach
2017
Abstract. In recent decades in the Mediterranean Sea, high anthropic pressure from increasing economic and touristic development has affected several coastal areas. Today the erosion phenomena threaten human activities and existing structures, and interdisciplinary studies are needed to better understand actual coastal dynamics. Beach evolution analysis can be conducted using GIS methodologies, such as the well-known Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), in which error assessment based on shoreline positioning plays a significant role. In this study, a new approach is proposed to estimate the positioning errors due to tide and wave run-up influence. To improve the assessment of the wave…
«Jusqu’à nos désirs, jusqu’aux formes de notre plaisir»: feminism’s development in Les Temps modernes
2017
Les Temps Modernes has been a basic ground for the growth both of the second-wave feminism and of the third-wave one, and has skaken old roles also by questioning traditional longings, as some writings we can (re)read here show: several remarks by Simone de Beauvoir, an article by Colette Audry, an issue of the column Le Sexisme ordinaire.
Constructive Leisure as a Strategy For Adolescents Integration in Conflict with the Law
2014
Las actividades de ocio deben representar por sí mismas, acciones educativas con capacidad de conquistar el espacio cotidiano de los nuevos tiempos. Además, se establecen como actividades constructivas en el tránsito hacia la madurez capaces de enlazar prácticas educativas con lúdicas. Cuando se producen fracturas entre estas dos dimensiones (aprendizaje y diversión), pueden generarse espacios sobre los que las actividades orientadas al recreo constituyan en si mismas un riesgo asociado a las propias dinámicas adolescentes. La alerta surge si estos períodos acaban por esconder otras actividades desviadas que, representadas en el espacio cotidiano, transformen rutinas lúdicas en habituales p…
Predictores socio-contextuales y motivacionales de la intención de continuar participando: Un análisis desde la SDT en danza. (Social-contextual and …
2011
En el marco de la Teoria de la Autodeterminacion (Deci y Ryan, 1985; 2000), se estudiaron los predictores socio-contextuales y motivacionales de la intencion de seguir practicando danza, y el papel del burnout en estas relaciones, poniendo a prueba dos modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Los participantes, 197 bailarines vocacionales, completaron los cuestionarios con las variables clave de interes. Los resultados revelaron que las percepciones del apoyo a la autonomia ofrecidas por el profesor de danza actuo como predictor positivo de la motivacion autonoma (motivacion intrinseca, regulacion integrada y regulacion identificada) y como predictor negativo de la motivacion controlada (regula…
