Victims of Racket: Entrepreneurs and Traders Dealing with Cosa Nostra, Ndrangheta, and Camorra
2015
This work proposes research on a still unexplored psychical world: thoughts, emotions, and real events experienced by racket victims of the three largest criminal organizations of the South of Italy: Mafia, Camorra, and Ndrangheta. The purpose is to understand the multifaceted psycho-anthropological and social issues criminal organizations have settled on, and particularly which psycho-relational dynamics and sociocultural codes come into play in the complex and controversial relationship between victim and criminal system, between victim and support systems. With entrepreneurs and tradesmen victims of organized crime, we have analyzed lived experiences - in particular fear - and psychologi…
Effect of synchronized or desynchronized music listening during osteopathic treatment: An EEG study
2013
While background music is often used during osteopathic treatment, it remains unclear whether it facilitates treatment, and, if it does, whether it is listening to music or jointly listening to a common stimulus that is most important. We created three experimental situations for a standard osteopathic procedure in which patients and practitioner listened either to silence, to the same music in synchrony, or (unknowingly) to different desynchronized montages of the same material. Music had no effect on heart rate and arterial pressure pre- and posttreatment compared to silence, but EEG measures revealed a clear effect of synchronized versus desynchronized listening: listening to desynchroni…
Conspiracy of silence and emotional distress in patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme
2012
Objetivo: En el ámbito de enfermedades muy graves y de mal pronóstico, continúa existiendo un importante porcentaje de familiares que, por motivos beneficentes y de protección, deciden ocultar la verdad a los enfermos que desean conocer lo que les ocurre. El objetivo es identificar la incidencia de conspiración de silencio familiar y su repercusión en los niveles de ansiedad y depresión del paciente diagnosticado de glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Método: Los niveles de ansiedad y depresión fueron recogidos en cinco momentos del proceso de enfermedad: ingreso, después de la comunicación del diagnóstico, en el alta hospitalaria, un mes después del alta y seis meses después del alta. Las neces…
2015 : « Le vouloir-dire et le silence des langues », dans Acta linguistica, Journal for Theoretical Linguistics, Banská Bystrica, Ekonomická fakulta…
2015
This paper deals with so-called “mind-saying” and “silence of languages”. These concepts mainly belong to cognitive linguistics and specifically to “linguistic neoteny” (theory of uncompleted speaker). Every human being develops a different cognitive relation with the languages he speaks. Nevertheless, those languages obligate him to accept cognitive restrictions to deal with quantity, quality and frequency of the formulations. The restrictions force the speaker to choose between the linguistic production (le dire) and the lack of linguistic production (le non-dire). In the first case, the enunciation is built with the units needed for the expression and the expressiveness of the language. …
Obmowa, osądzanie, narzekanie czy milczenie? Rozważania Ojców Pustyni
2021
Pod koniec III wieku rozpoczyna się ruch monastyczny zainicjowany przez św. Antoniego. Powstała w ten sposób nowa forma ascezy charakteryzująca się zerwaniem ze światem, społeczeństwem (anachoreza, czyli pustelnictwo). Odtąd życie pustelników ma być pełne wyrzeczeń, na które składają się post, wstrzemięźliwość seksualna, modlitwa i praca, ale też milczenie. Wierzono bowiem, że tylko w ciszy brat otrzyma szansę spotkania z Bogiem, że usłyszy Jego Słowa i tym samym wkroczy w Jego tajemnicę, a potem będzie mógł innych do tej tajemnicy doprowadzić dzięki potędze miłości i pokory. Milczenie, zachowanie ciszy, powstrzymywanie się przed uwolnieniem słów były niezwykle ważnymi i częstymi tematami p…
La fragmentation dans l'écriture durassienne : marges textuelles
2018
The work of Marguerite Duras draws on such concepts as rejection, loss, and transgression. A deviation from the current norms and rules of language and rhetoric is part of a wider reflection on the discourse of women in the public sphere. The issue of exclusion in Duras’s texts resonates particularly strongly in the context of ‘thresholds’ of paratext defined by Gerard Genette. Such analysis shows the coexistence of text and nontext in the creative process. The author avoids explicitness to underscore the specificity of her unfinished/broken writing. Particularly noteworthy is the fragmentation of the meta-narrative. Using decomposition, cross-genre, and silence, Duras makes the reader awar…
Conflict between truthfulness and tact in parent–teacher conferences
2009
The purpose of this article is to explore how teachers’ and parents’ conversations are affected by their notions about truthfulness. The study is qualitative and draws on data from observations of parent–teacher conferences about pupils with special needs in a Norwegian lower secondary school and from interviews with participants. The findings show that teachers’ and parents’ conversations are constrained by positive talk, decency and silence and, especially when the pupil participates, they choose a careful point of view, gloss over it, and talk about what is OK and not unpleasant. Furthermore, teachers act communicatively in a strategic way. It is concluded that teachers and parents often…
La democrazia nel misticismo paidetico di Aldo Capitini: l'apertura di un orizzonte internazionale nella ricerca pedagogica contemporanea
2014
L’originale pedagogia di Capitini, con il suo messaggio utopico-profetico, consegna alle nuove generazioni una concezione inedita dell’educazione democratica, che viene pensata come pratica religiosa. Il suo sguardo lungo va oltre il suo tempo e oltre le confessioni religiose, indicando la via del misticismo pratico, maturata grazie allo studio delle tradizioni occidentali e orientali, in cui centrale è un agire paidetico che trasforma il rapporto con Dio da incontro personale e intimista a rapporto dinamico, che avviene nella compresenza di tutti, dei morti e dei viventi. La democrazia è una pratica religiosa in cui il silenzio acquista un nuovo valore educativo: è l’incontro con Dio che s…
Silence and Resistance as Experiences and Presentations of Pupil Agency in Finnish Elementary School English Lessons
2014
This paper explores the multitude of ways in which Finnish fifth and sixth grade elementary school pupils experience and present their agency in English lessons, with a special focus on pupils' silence and resistance. Pupil agency is often seen as observable action that is oriented towards institutionally accepted goals and norms. In communicative and constructivist understandings of foreign language learning, learner agency is related to the idea of learning by participating. Participation in the classroom is not only individually but also socially constrained. This article is based on a larger, ecologically oriented ethnographic study on fifth and sixth graders' language learner identitie…
