Self-Representation of Children Suffering from Congenital Heart Disease and Maternal Competence
2013
Background: Child development may be subject to forms of motor, physical, cognitive and self-representation impairments when complex congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs. In some cases, inadequacy of both self-representation as well as the family system are displayed. It seems to be important to search the likely internal and external resources of the CHD child, and the possible connections among such resources, which may help him/her to manage his/her own risk condition. Design and Methods: The research project inquires the possible resources related to the self-representation and self-esteem levels of the CHD child, and those related to maternal self-perception as competent mothers. A gr…
Tra ambiguità e malinteso: schermaglie di una «battaglia per l’identità» in una conversazione tra mafiosi
2015
Gli scambi comunicativi tra membri di Cosa Nostra sono regolati dalla duplice restrizione della legge del silenzio verso il mondo esterno e dall'obbligo di dire la verità all'interno del sodalizio. A tal fine, il linguaggio mafioso ricorre all’obliquità semantica che fornisce ai parlanti un ampio margine di libertà consentendo loro di non esplicitare le proprie reali intenzioni. È questa la ragione per la quale Tommaso Buscetta ha definito Cosa Nostra come "il regno dei discorsi incompleti". L'ordine del discorso mafioso si basa spesso sulla pratica di quello che Jankélévitch ha definito il "malinteso doppiamente beninteso” uno scambio che si fonda non tanto su una falsa relazione quanto su…
Environmental activism as counter-hegemony? A comparative critical discourse analysis of self-representations of radical environmental organisations
2021
Działalność organizacji ekologicznych wiąże się z odrzucaniem zapewnień o wystarczających działaniach ochronnych i kwestionowaniem dominujących praktyk kulturowych. Jednak aby skutecznie mobilizować opinię publiczną, ruchy ekologiczne muszą prezentować się jako wiarygodne i akceptowalne, choć ich dążenia kwestionują wartości kultury hegemonicznej. Niniejsze studium to analiza porównawcza manifestów trzech radykalnych organizacji ekologicznych, Extinction Rebellion (UK) Deep Green Resistance (USA) i Pracowni na Rzecz Wszystkich Istot (Polska), pod kątem językowych, retorycznych i wizualnych strategii prezentacji wartości opozycyjnych do głównego nurtu kultury w kontekście kryzysu klimatyczne…
Reina María Rodríguez: A Poetic of the Limits to Cuba
2013
in this article we intend to approach some of the major controversies that have affected the poetry written in Cuba in recent decades: the reflection on the relationship of poetic language with reality; the writing of the limits, the remains —that what ideology hides—; the crossing of different genres and artistic languages —poetry, fiction, image—, etc. To do this, we analyze two books published by the Cuban poet Reina Maria Rodríguez: Travelling (1995) and Variedades de Galiano (2008). And their relationship to the American “Language Poets”.
Fango pannonico. Un paradigma populista per Miroslav Krleza
2019
As an obsessive keyword, the Pannonian mud appears in several writings of Miroslav Krleza. It represents the core of Croatian periphery, in particular the Podravina region, which was for long time untouched by modernity, and oppressed by feudal governments even after the fall of the Austrian Empire, from 1918 onwards. In this timeless place watered by the river Drava, the mud acquires a paradigmatic role like a phenomenon that causes historical conflicts. However, its ambiguous status of metahistorical symbol of a long lasting collapse is a contradictory factor, because of the consequences arising from it are unpredictable. As a contribute to this paradoxical attitude some images occur in K…
Au royaume des discours incomplets : ambigüité et malentendu dans la conversation entre mafieux
2013
Im Reich der Andeutungen : Bewusst mehrdeutige und missverständliche Aussagen in Mafiosi-Gesprächen. Beim mündlichen Austausch müssen sich Mitglieder der Cosa Nostra gleichzeitig an die Schweigepflicht nach außen und die Wahrheitspflicht nach innen halten. Die Sprache der Mafiosi muss daher eine semantisch indirekte Form annehmen, die dem Sprechenden seinen Spielraum lässt, um die Unvorhersehbarkeit seiner Absichten zu bewahren. Diese Sprachform hat Tommaso Buscetta dazu gebracht, dieses Milieu als „das Reich der Andeutungen“ zu bezeichnen. Die Ordnung der Mafia beruht auf einem wohl verstandenen doppelten Spiel bewusst missverständlicher Aussagen, im Sinne von Jankélévitch, die keine falsc…
Why know myself? Flexible behaviour and the need for self-modelling: Poster
2021
In this paper I argue that some forms of the capacity for behavioural flexibility entail a specific kind of representation, a self-model. This means that systems with that capacity, among them human beings, must have self-models. In its basic form, the capacity for behavioural flexibility allows a system to respond to the same sensory stimulus differentially, depending on the values of parameters with which it represents the world. On seeing a street, I might cycle straight ahead or take a sharp turn left – depending on whether I represent it to blocked off just around the corner. More advanced forms expand on this. Self-models are a form of self-representation in which states are represent…
