Constitutions of Site and Visitor at the Swarbrick Wilderness Discovery Site
2013
Located just off the North Walpole Road, the Swarbrick Wilderness Discovery Site can be seen as a node of several different historical trajectories which are – to different extents – documented in the artworks which frame, or decorate, the site. My account draws on my own biography and probes the investments I have in my various post-settler entanglements with the area. I critique, in particular, the idea of ‘wilderness’ as one formative to post-settler narrations and myths at the same time that it places indigenous practices of belonging under erasure. For, most recently, Swarbrick stood metonymically for the campaign to preserve ‘old growth forests’, culminating at the end of the 1990s, a…
Autistic Adult Health and Professional Perceptions of It: Evidence From the ASDEU Project
2021
The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) survey investigated the knowledge and health service experiences of users and providers to generate new hypotheses and scientific investigations that would contribute to improvement in health care for autistic adults. An online survey designed for autistic adults, carers of autistic adults, and professionals in adult services was translated into 11 languages and distributed electronically by organizations and in-country adult service facilities in 2017; 522 autistic adults, 442 carers, and 113 professionals provided answers to the health questions. Professionals, the majority in non-medical services, appeared to be poorly informed …
La dimensione tecnologica del museo: forme, tecniche, "identità mutanti" tra storia e contemporaneità
2005
Nella cultura contemporanea il tema della conservazione dell’eredità storica, della rappresentazione e della trasmissibilità dell’arte è argomento ampiamente dibattuto. La forza culturale del museo, detentore dell’eredità, può essere interpretata secondo diverse traiettorie di forme. La memoria intende esprimersi sulle origini e sul significato della "macchina museale" attraverso l’analisi critica dell’oggetto, sia esso contenitore, palco di rappresentazione o scena interattiva. Sonda i processi di comunicazione relativamente alla forma architettonica, alla funzione ed alla fruizione del prodotto espositivo. Tenendo conto delle diverse scuole di pensiero sulla spettacolarizzazione dell’arte…

Educare con la fiaba: le differenze di genere
2020
The anthropological premise to the pedagogical treatment of fairy tales contribution to the formation of sexual and gender identity in girls and boys is the origin of sexual dimorphism that, being present in all cultures, cannot only be the result of socio-cultural conditioning. Considering the mutual cooperation between men and women and the wider family and social harmony, contemporary fairy tales and the appropriate reinterpretations of classic fairy tales have great educational potential for sexual identity development and for overcoming social stereotypes related to sex in girls and boys.
An intervention focused on maternal sensitivity enhanced mothers' verbal responsiveness to infants
2021
Abstract We investigated the effectiveness of an intervention aimed at enhancing maternal sensitivity on mothers' verbal responsiveness to infants. Forty-four mothers from low-income, Brazilian homes and their 3-month-old infants were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 22) and comparison (n = 22) groups. The intervention spanned eight monthly home visits, during which mothers were trained to acknowledge and respond to infants' behaviors. Maternal verbal responsiveness was assessed during dyadic free play when infants were 11 and 18 months old. We computed the probability that mothers would follow infants' behaviors with verbal unimodal (only verbal) or multimodal (simultaneous verbal an…
