Litorali dell'autofinzione: spigolature lacaniane

2017

Questo articolo intende applicare gli strumenti teorici della psicoanalisi lacaniana allo studio del romanzo autofinzionale. Si tratta, per un verso, di operare una lettura del romanzo "L'étreinte" di Philippe Vilain al livello del significante; per un altro, di cogliere le implicazioni del Simbolico in vari romanzi dello scrittore omosessuale marocchino Rachid O. L'articolo intende inoltre formulare una riflessione sul valore della critica letteraria per Jacques Lacan e sul come tale critica debba concepirsi nella logica dell'oltre-Edipo. This article aims to apply the theoretical tools of Lacanian psychoanalysis to the study of the self-fictional novel. On the one hand, it is a matter of …

Friday Black et Intruders : lecture croisée au prisme de l'afrofuturisme

2022

This article contrasts “The Finkelstein 5” and “Zimmer Land”, from Nana Kwame Adjei Brenyah’s short story collection Friday Black (2018) with the “Untitled” series from Mohale Mashigo’s Intruders (2018), using Mark Dery’s definition of Afrofuturism as a reading grid and a starting point. While both collections draw on the codes of science fiction and dystopia to portray racialized characters in futuristic settings to examine their relation to technology and their place in fictional ‘future’ societies, they take on different approaches. The article concludes that Adjei-Brenyah’s writing, in Friday Black, leans towards what could be termed ‘Afropresentism’ based on François Hartog’s definitio…

The Concordance between Teachers’ and Parents’ Perceptions of School Transition Practices: A Solid Base for the Future

2015

This study focuses on parents’ and teachers’ perceptions of practices aimed at easing the transition to formal schooling (e.g., familiarization with the school, discussions about the school entrants). A total of 230 preschool teachers, 131 elementary school teachers, and 2,662 mothers and fathers filled in a questionnaire containing items on how important they considered different preschool-school transition practices. The participants considered the various transition practices to be at least somewhat important. On average, familiarization with the school was considered to be most important, whereas teacher co-operation and joint writing of curricula were considered to be least important. …

Marriage, sexuality, and holiness: Aspects of marital ethics in the <i>Corpus Paulinum</i>

2011

A fundamental change in the understanding of marriage becomes apparent in the first century A.D., described by M. Foucault as the transition from a “matrimonial” to a “conjugal” marital concept. While early Christianity participated in this development, it also influenced it at decisive points and developed its own marital ethics. Through a consideration of philosophical (Musonius, Plutarch) and early Judaic (esp. Qumran, Jubilees) texts, this article outlines the marital concepts existing in the NT environment. In this context, the reciprocal community and the duration of the marital relationship are emphasized while sexuality remains wholly limited to reproduction. The core of the article…

The Work of Cultural Transition: An Emerging Model

2016

In today’s uncertain, fluid job market, transnational mobility has intensified. Though the concept of cultural transition is increasingly used in sport and career research, insight into the processes of how individuals produce their own development through work and relationships in shifting cultural patterns of meaning remains limited. The transnational industry of sports, in which athletes’ psychological adjustment to cultural transitions has implications for both performance and meaningful life, serves as a backdrop for this article. This study applied the life story method to interviews with 15 professional and semi-professional athletes, focusing particularly on the cultural transition …

Based on a true story: how fictionality affects spatial cognition of events: Oral presentation

Brisures du romaneque: 'La Malédiction de la Madone', ou d'une pratique ironique du docufiction.

2023

La Malédiction de la Madone, pubblicato nel 2022, è il primo romanzo in cui Philippe Vilain, scrittore tra i maggiori rappresentanti dell’autofinzione, ab- bandona la narrazione in prima persona per un “docufiction” in terza persona basato sulla vita della camorrista Pupetta Maresca. questo cambio di rotta, an- cor più sorprendente per un autore come Vilain che aveva sempre vilipeso que- sto genere letterario, è occasione di mettere in questione le sue concezioni del romanzo e della letteratura. Ne vien fuori una narrazione tesa tra l’aspirazione a far corpo unico con la sua precedente produzione letteraria e le condizioni im- poste dalla “docufinzionalizzazione” della storia. La Maléd…

The Romanian Academic Novel and Film through the Postcommunism/Postcolonialism Lens

2019

The last two decades have witnessed an intensified academic interest in a potential rapprochement between Postcolonial Studies and Postcommunist Studies, the former a firmly established discipline in global academia, while the existence of the latter as a discipline in its own right is still debatable. As the possibility of this alliance is – as was to be expected – both contested and supported by various scholars, this article attempts to investigate this issue as illustrated by the postcommunist Romanian academic novel. Aware as it is of contemporary intellectual debates, the genre of the academic (or campus) novel seems particularly suitable for shedding light on the matter: academic fic…
