Climate Change and Anti-Meaning
2023
AbstractIn this paper, we propose meaningfulness as one important evaluative criterion in individual climate ethics and suggest that most of our greenhouse gas emitting actions, behaviours, and lives are the opposite of meaningful: anti-meaningful. We explain why such actions etc. score negatively on three important dimensions of the meaningfulness scale, which we call the agential, narrative, and generative dimensions. We suggest that thinking about individual climate ethics also in terms of (anti-) meaningfulness illuminates important aspects of our troubled ethical involvement with CC and can make a fresh and fruitful contribution to existing discussions, which tend to focus on moral res…
Reflexividad y narratividad en Ricardo Piglia: de Macedonio a Fitzgerald

Narrativity and intertextuality in the making of a shared European memory
2016
The latest wave of European integration process, cultural Europeanization, includes complex processes, such as the attempts to create a shared European memory that would transcend national interpretations of the past. The cultural Europeanization can be perceived as a narrative operation: in it the EU, Europe, and Europeanness are given meanings and made sense of through narrativization. The article investigates the EU’s attempts to create a shared European memory by analyzing the exhibition narrative of the Parlamentarium, the visitors’ center of the European Parliament. The analysis indicates how the construction of an official shared European memory is operationalized through textual and…
Accessibilità e contronarrazione al Sole Luna Doc Festival. Sottotitolare le storie dei documentari
2021
This work is placed in the context of studies on the accessibility of audiovisual products in the realm of independent cinema, with its ability to provide access to social, cultural, historical and political truths, and also in the context of studies on audiovisual translation as an instrument providing access to audiences with specific and general disabilities, and to audiences with normal hearing. Against the backdrop of documentary festivals and, in particular, within the framework of the Sole Luna Doc Film Festival, scrutiny is placed on interlingual subtitling (also for the deaf and hard of hearing) as the most frequently used and disseminated practice. The three dominant languages are…

Donne che dipingono donne. La costruzione della femminilità nell'arte di Remedios Varo
2021
In questo articolo analizzerò la visione della femminilità che emerge nei lavori dell’artista spagnola Remedios Varo (1908-1963), la cui pittura – canonicamente definita surrealista – rivela una forte sensibilità nei confronti del ruolo della donna nella società. In particolare: - Inizierò fornendo dei riferimenti biografici essenziali per comprendere l’opera dell’artista. - Analizzerò in seguito il rapporto di Varo con il movimento surrealista. - Mi concentrerò infine sull’emancipazione di Varo dal canone surrealista, dominato da un forte, seppur implicito, maschilismo. Sosterrò che tale emancipazione sia resa possibile tramite un ripensamento della nozione di femminilità. Per analizzare l…
Īrijas vēstures attēlojuma īpatnības Džozefa O'Konnora romānā "Jūras zvaigzne" un Sebastiana Barija romānā "Slepenie raksti"
2018
Šajā maģistra darbā tiek pētītas Īrijas vēstures attēlojuma īpatnības divos romānos – Džozefa O’Konnora romānā “Jūras zvaigzne” un Sebastiana Barija romānā “Slepenie raksti”. Darba mērķis ir analizēt veidus, kā šie romāni ataino nozīmīgus īru vēstures notikumus, Lielo badu un ceļu uz Īrijas neatkarību, kā arī veidus, kādos tiek problematizēta patiesa un objektīva attēlojuma iespējamība. Abi rakstnieki pēta tādus jēdzienus kā atmiņu, traumu, narativitāti un vēstures attēlojuma ticamību, uzsverot naratīvu veidošanas procesu un valodas nepietiekamību traumas atainošanai, kā arī aicina lasītājus kritiski apdomāt naratīvus, pētot dažādu faktoru ietekmi uz tiem.
Miti politici e attori collettivi. Orlando e lo spettacolo dell'antimafia
2022
From the 1980s to 2022, the role of mayor of Palermo is inextricably linked to the name of Leoluca Orlando. The hegemony of his political narrative is such that commissionerships and defeats are considered, in this period, mere parentheses in the history of the Municipality. In this contribution, we analyze the semantic device that, at the end of his first, glorious term as 'anti-mafia mayor', avoided Orlando’s discharge to be perceived as a defeat. A book-interview, in particular, had a strategic role in this resemantization. It’s a text by Michele Perriera (1988), journalist for L’Ora and theatre author, that operates a narrative shift of the political scene of Palermo from a fabulous to …
Blocks to, and building blocks of, narrativity: Fragments, anecdotes, and narrative lines in David Markson’sReader’s block
2017
AbstractDavid Markson’sReader’s block(1996) consists of 193 pages of quotations, anecdotes, names, and fragments. The book bears the paratext “A novel,” and the work has indeed been read as a narrative whole, in which “an aging author [...] contemplates the writing of a novel.” By being out of ordinary and therefore worth of telling, the anecdotes or curiosities seemingly fulfill the requirements of a “natural” narrative as defined by Monika Fludernik (1996). However, a mass of such mini-narratives, mixed with even more fragmentary texts, seems to defy narrativity (and tellability). In my reading, the ostensive block to narrativity also functions as its very building block. Thanks to polyse…
Narrativity and its application in business ethics research
2018
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a narrative framework for doing empirical research into business ethics and shows, through two examples, how the framework can be applied in practice in this context. The focus is on interview-based research. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical research based on literature review was conducted. Findings In the developed narrative framework, two main kinds of analysis are distinguished: an analysis of the narrative and a narrative analysis. An analysis of the narrative is a matter of classifying and producing taxonomies out of the data. The purpose of a narrative analysis is to construct a story or stories based on the data. Narrative an…
