Introduzione di "La Grande Guerra nella Stampa Mondiale"
2020
Il presente libro si configura come un ulteriore prodotto del Network Internazionale Memità che vuole rendere omaggio al centenario della Prima Guerra Mondiale attraverso l’analisi della misura in cui la stampa abbia giocato un ruolo significativo nella costruzione di un’immagine del conflitto ad uso e consumo propagandistico dei governi di riferimento. La stampa di quel periodo si è resa protagonista della narrazione del conflitto e, per la sua natura di strumento di divulgazione, in essa è possibile riscontrare la massima porosità tra il concetto linguaggio e quello di ideologia. Il discorso giornalistico si configura, quindi, come uno dei mezzi d’elezione in cui viene esercitato sul lett…
Growing Up to Belong Transnationally: Parent Perceptions on Identity Formation Among Latvian Emigrant Children in England
2019
AbstractAs a result of the wide availability of social media, cheap flights and free intra-EU movement it has become considerably easier to maintain links with the country of origin than it was only a generation ago. Therefore, the language and identity formation among children of recent migrants might be significantly different from the experiences of children of the previous generations. The aim of this paper is to examine the perceptions of parents on the formation of national and transnational identity among the ‘1.5 generation migrant children’ – the children born in Latvia but growing up in England and the factors affecting them. In particular, this article seeks to understand whether…
Woven folklore: computers promoting cross-cultural understanding
2004
Multicultural cooperation requires participants to understand the cultural background and identity of all the partners. In this respect, computers provide the cooperation with a new and interesting instrument. A team of students from two schools, one in Tanzania, another in Finland, implemented a multimedia version of an African folklore story. A computer served as a platform for genuine cooperation: the whole team worked on one electronic artefact, despite the geographical distance between the members. The collaborative process helped each participant to clarify his/her own cultural background whilst also becoming acquainted with that of his/her distant partner.
A Polysystemic Study of Folk Literature in Nineteenth-Century Norway
1999
The Norwegian Folktales, collected, transcribed and re-written by Per Christian Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe from 1842, had a pivotal role in the shaping of a cultural and linguistic identity in the emerging nation-state. After four centuries of ‘union’ where Denmark and Sweden were the dominant partners, Norway was finally declared an independent nation state in 1914. The folktales, handed down orally through the generations across the country, embodied important symbolical, cultural and linguistic characteristics from the rural environment. The paper describes the context and process through which The Norwegian Folktales influenced both the emerging natonal identity and the emerging Norwegia…
The reliability of forensic osteology — a case in point
2001
The medico-legal investigation of skeletons is a trans-disciplinary effort by forensic scientists as well as physical anthropologists. The advent of DNA extraction and amplification from bones and teeth has led to the assumption that morphological assessment of skeletal remains might soon become obsolete. But despite the introduction and success of molecular biology, the analysis of skeletal biology will remain an integral part of the identification process. This is due to the fact, that the skeletal record allows relatively fast and accurate inferences about the identity of the victim. Moreover, a standard biological profile may be established to effectively narrow the police investigator'…
Geography of Emotions Across the Black Mediterranean: Oral Memories and Dissonant Heritages of Slavery and the Colonial Past
2019
AbstractThis contribution is dedicated to analysing oral memories about the Black Mediterranean through interviews with people from or culturally linked to the Horn of Africa. The aim is to consider how the interviewees make use of archives to voice their feelings about the past and present in Africa and Europe. I introduce the concept of a “geography of emotions” as a set of different perceptions of Europe and its past. The mobilization of these memories in new interpretative perspectives is part of a dissonant heritage which is actively working inside the European borders in order to produce new cultural identities, to reiterate forms of belonging to black diasporic communities, and to in…
Freud and the Philosophy: precedents of a fundamental ambivalence.
2021
La relación del psicoanálisis con la filosofía debe tener en cuenta el propio rechazo que Freud declaró contra todo intento de reducir la psicología al conocimiento de los fenómenos de la conciencia, que de modo temprano e insistente vinculó a la noción idealista de “cosmovisión” (Weltanschauung). Sin embargo, un seguimiento minucioso de las principales tendencias filosóficas que se daban en su contexto muestra el verdadero lugar de privilegio que corresponde al pensamiento filosófico de cara a la configuración identitaria del psicoanálisis como disciplina (y de su objeto de estudio: el inconsciente), con un marco epistemológico propio que bebe de la con-fluencia ideológica que el neopositi…
Identitetens uppklarnande och kulturvärden
1987
Pulkkinen, L.: Identity achievement and cultural values. Nordisk Psykologi, 1987, 39 (3), 186–202. Relationships between identity achievement and cultural values were studied with 240 young adults. A questionnaire contained a scale for Identity Achievement modified from Crotevant & Adams' (1984) EOM-EIS and questions concerning the importance of various values (e.g. religious, scientific) for one's life, and expectations about and fears of the future. LISREL analyses revealed that Identity Achievement was divided into two components, ethical (friendship, religion) and functional identity (sex roles, politics), rather than ideological and interpersonal identity suggested by Grotevant and Ada…
Struggling for a professional identity: Two newly qualified language teachers' identity narratives during the first years at work
2013
Abstract Although teachers' first years in the profession are a widely studied field, the factors that would help to understand the difficulty or the ease with which individuals enter full time teaching and construct their professional identity are still little studied. This narrative study approaches the topic by comparing two newly qualified teachers' professional identity formation. The participants' stories display two different experience narratives: a painful and an easy beginning. The findings show the importance of the teachers' initial identities and the storytelling process to their professional identity formation. The study is part of a longitudinal research project in Finland.
