Anti-schoolness in context: the tension between the youth project and the qualifications project
2011
Published version of an article in the journal Social Psychology of Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11218-011-9153-3 In this ethnographic study conducted in two classrooms in Norway, grade nine (14-year-olds) in lower secondary school and the first year (16-year-olds) of upper secondary school, attention is drawn to how classroom culture is constituted through relationships between students. Through processes of power, dominance, hegemony and marginalisation, classroom culture forms the conditions for a learning environment, and has different opportunities, dilemmas and costs for the students. As classroom culture is negotiated in contextual and r…
Transexualidad, adolescencias y educación: miradas multidisciplinares
2017
En las últimas dos décadas, la temática trans (transexual/transgénero) ha emergido como un asunto de interés creciente a nivel social y cultural. Esto se ha debido, entre otros motivos, al trabajo de colectivos y asociaciones trans que han conseguido que las administraciones competentes legislaran a favor de sus necesidades y demandas en materia de educación, sanidad y ocupación. En la actualidad, una consecuencia de estos avances es la mayor visibilidad de las personas trans en los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales. Por ejemplo, una búsqueda reciente del término Transgender en Google (noticias) nos ha proporcionado un resultado de 3.160.000 artículos. En Norteamérica, gracias al …
On the history of torsional stress concentrations in shafts: From electrical analogies to numerical methods
2014
This article proposes a retrospective on experimental and numerical methods developed throughout the past century to solve the torsion problem in shafts, with particular emphasis on the determination of shear stress concentration factors in discontinuities of typical use in shaft design. This article, in particular, presents the theory and related solutions distinguishing between two classes of geometries: shafts with constant cross section and axisymmetric shafts with variable diameter. Emphasis is given to approaches based on physical analog methods and, in particular, those based on electrical analogies proposed since about 1925. Experimental methods based on structural physical models …
Short article: Eye movements when reading text messaging (txt msgng)
2009
The growing popularity of mobile-phone technology has led to changes in the way people—particularly younger people—communicate. A clear example of this is the advent of Short Message Service (SMS) language, which includes orthographic abbreviations (e.g., omitting vowels, as in wk, week) and phonetic respelling (e.g., using u instead of you). In the present study, we examined the pattern of eye movements during reading of SMS sentences (e.g., my hols wr gr8), relative to normally written sentences, in a sample of skilled “texters”. SMS sentences were created by using (mostly) orthographic or phonological abbreviations. Results showed that there is a reading cost—both at a local level and at…
Shape-Shifting Tales. Michèle Roberts's Monstrous Women
2010
The book provides an analysis of the representation of women’s bodies and their monstrous metamorphoses in selected short stories by contemporary English writer Michèle Roberts. The author explores the relationship between traditional fairy tales such as the Grimm Brothers’ and Charles Perrault’s, the lives of female saints and Roberts’s counter-narratives, focussing on the analysis of images of sublimed fleshliness and of acts of monstrous violence on the body. The book takes into account relevant Women’s Studies criticism regarding the mother-daughter relationship, as Roberts’s stories question the role of mother figures in traditional fairy tales and hagiography and at the same time rewo…
Canti di Sicilia: un percorso musicale fra Otto e Novecento
2017
Il saggio prende le mosse dalle prime ricerche sulla musica popolare siciliana condotte da Vigo, Salomone Marino e Pitrè per soffermarsi sulle raccolta dei "Canti della terra e del mare di Sicilia" (1907) di Antonio Favara e sulla rielaborazione di una melodia trascritta da Alberto Favara inclusa da Luciano Berio nel ciclo "Folk Songs" (1964).

A Brief Study of German Sinology Origins and the Dissemination of Daoism
2018
The dissemination of Daoism in the West is a process that, although it begins late and slow, will lead to the great interest that this way of thinking has finally awakened, not only in the academic field, but also in some popular media. In order to clarify the history of the Western study of Chinese doctrine, the present article reviews the contribution of what we call the German sinology until the mid-twentieth century to focus the contribution of the Germanic works. With the recognition that the first works in German language on the Daoism are due to the Austrian sinologist and Japanese scholar August Pfitzmaier, we review the history of sinology in Germany highlighting authors and summar…
