Parlers populaires et paysans dans la fiction en prose (XVIe-XVIIe siècles)
2018
In fictional narrative and comedy of sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, staging lower-class or country people is a pretext to make up a comic stereotype. One of the main attributes of this stereotype is the use of a low language level, a faulty French, soiled by regionalisms. To this « popular » French language are often associated dull-wittedness, naivety, foolishness, as well as conversations limited on common place subjects. This linguistic standard is often presented on the occasion of a dialogue with a learned, well-read and refined interlocutor. Contrasting standards make laugh and disqualify as rough some uses and turns of phrase of French, at the time when grammatical and stylisti…

2019
Following approximately 1,800 Finnish children, this longitudinal study examined the associations between students’ perceived social support (teacher-student relationships, family support, and peer support), behavioral engagement, cynicism towards school, and academic achievement during the transition from primary to lower secondary school. After controlling for parental educational level and cynicism before the school transition, the results showed that the more students experienced pre-transition peer support, the less they reported post-transition cynicism. Furthermore, pre-transition peer support contributed to students’ increased academic achievement and behavioral engagement after the…
Cartoline da Palermo

Tarantino's Round Flat Characters: A (Mainly) Verbal Study of Reservoir Dogs (1992).
2012
International audience; This article revisits E.M. Forster's distinction between round and flat characters in order to study the balancing between genre characters and realistic characters Tarantino's first film effects. It starts by examining the relationship between the fictional director of the heist (Joe Cabot), the other characters and the real director in a scene where Tarantino's cameo as a minor character endows the fictional director with authority and consequently emphasizes the shared dimension of filmmaking. The author then argues that the characters' capacity to identify and articulate flatness and rotundity in themselves and each other makes them appear round as it implies tha…
