Traces autour de la mémoire. Configuration et fonction de l’attente dans l’œuvre de Georges Perec
2022
Restituire la complessità del reale superando la crisi del linguaggio all’indomani del secondo conflitto mondiale rappresenta per Georges Perec il fine di una nuova letteratura che sia capace di interpretare il suo rapporto con il reale attraverso forme inedite. Così, a partire dal saggio su Robert Antelme (Robert Antelme ou la vérité en littérature), Perec sperimenta nuove strategie narrative riprendendo contemporaneamente il progetto autobiografico che aveva più volte abbandonato. Questo lavoro non intende quindi solo sottolineare l’importanza della scrittura di Antelme nella definizione del Perec più maturo, ma vuole anche dimostrare quale sia stata la funzione di Un Homme qui dort nel p…
Foreign literature as poison: (self-)censorship in the translation of German popular fiction in Italy during the 1930s
2018
Between the 1920s and 1930s, the translation of foreign contemporary novels into Italian was encouraged by publishers, meeting the needs of a new readership, which was larger and more heterogeneous than before the war. However, the sharp rise in the number of imported novels provoked strong disapproval. In a context of heightened nationalism and cultural autocracy, translation was considered a polluting, anti-patriotic and servile practice. The censorship that took place, however, was mostly implemented via a tacit compromise between the publishers and the regime, rather than by repressive institutional actions. In order to protect themselves from sanctions and requisitions, publishers and …
Cinema e fotografia. Su "Palermo Shooting" di Wim Wenders
2022
The topic complex of photographer and photography is of central importance for Wim Wenders' cinematic and literary work. Of course, it is not just about photography itself, but a subtle play with narrative and metapoetic references. All the figures of photographers who from the beginning repeatedly appear as protagonists in Wenders' films also tell of pictures and how to make them. Most of them are men who have a disturbed relationship to the world around them and to their own selves. Men who travel in search of a truer grip on reality.
Personal goals and well-being: How do young people navigate their lives?
2010
This chapter examines development through different life transitions, such as educational transitions and transition to parenthood during adolescence to adulthood in the context of the life-span model of personal goals. According to the life-span model of motivation, four key mechanisms—channeling, choice, co-regulation, and compensation—play a key role in how young people navigate their life. The aim is to describe how the conceptualized key factors are helpful in understanding the changes from adolescence to emerging adulthood and later in the life course and related well-being. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Young adults' achievement and attributional strategies in the transition from school to work: antecedents and consequences
2002
This study focused on investigating the extent to which the achievement and attributional strategies individuals deploy influence their success in dealing with the transition from school to work, and whether their success or failure in this particular would have consequences for the kinds of strategy they deployed later in life. Two hundred and fifty young adults filled in the Cartoon‐Attribution‐Strategy Inventory, a revised version of Beck's Depression Inventory, and a work status questionnaire at the beginning of the last spring term of their curriculum, four months after their graduation, and a year and a half after it. The results showed that the deployment of maladaptive strategies, …

Children’s beliefs concerning school transition
2016
This study examines preschoolers’ beliefs concerning their transfer into primary education. Data from 1386 Finnish preschoolers were obtained using interviews with parents at the end of the children’s preschool year. The qualitative content analysis revealed categories, which encompassed peer relationships, relationship with teacher, learning, formal schoolwork, informal activities, comfortable school entry and no concerns. The results indicated that children’s beliefs concerning their prospective school entry centred on maintaining and making friendships, and that children possessed both negative and positive expectations about their relationship with their future teacher. Both girls and b…
Markov Model for Tweets Geographic Distribution Characterization
2015
Abstract In this paper we will continue our researches regarding e-Business and e-Government modeling on Social Media presented in (Stoica, Pitic, & Mihaescu, 2013). Among message and user parameters we add a new parameter used to describe the geographical dispersion of Twitter messages. This new parameter will characterize the way one set of messages will spread in Social Graph from the physical word point of view. The first model, presented as “A Novel Model for E-Business and E-Government Processes on Social”, will be extended with the geographical parameter PG. We will define and we will describe the Markov Model used to organize the messages gathered from social media. The main idea of…
The Responsible University in Southeast Asia : A Tale of the Transition from an Elite to a Mass Higher Education System
2019
AbstractAs is the case in the Nordic countries, universities in Southeast Asia are expected to act in a responsible manner by fostering greater participation in higher education across different social groups and by promoting regional development. To date, however, few studies have investigated such important aspects within the context of emerging economies undergoing considerable political, social and economic changes. Our study setting is Indonesia, a country with large socio-economic asymmetries that is undergoing the historical transition from an elite to a mass higher education system. The chapter provides evidence of the roles played by different types of universities located in speci…
