L’imitazione come strumento per sapere e comunicare: un dialogo tra psicologia e scuola
Get PDFThe binomy between psychology and school brings to mind, almost immediately, at least three different inflections on how these two terms might be linked to each other. The first, and most immediate, is the close relationship between psychologic research and test subjects availability, offered spontaneously by the scholastic institutions. The second one, refers to the contribution that the dialogue between pedagogy and psychology can offer to the formations of teachers, of any order, and their operativity, to be applied in regards of their students. And finally a fruitful dialogue implies that the school is able to offer interrogatives, themes for analysis and support in regards to the new issues that the same school needs to face. In light of this "dialogue", in this article the authors aim to present some ideas concerning the recent mechanisms of learning that might be transmitted to teachers during their formation and inspire them during their daily pedagogic action
Antonio Gramsci: la letteratura per l’infanzia tra radici culturali-popolari e educazione
Get PDFThe paper intends to offer an in-depth analysis of Antonio Gramsci’s contribution to the reflection on children’s literature, whose non existence, in the years in which the intellectual writes the Quaderni from the fascist prison, leads to a “nexus of problems” concerning the lack of a national popular Italian literature. There are many suggestions that rose through the interest shown by Gramsci, on various fronts, towards children’s literature: from the ‘public’ Gramsci of the Quaderni to the ‘private' Gramsci of the Lettere, from the affirmation of the need for literary enjoyment of the people to the exemplary exercise of a ‘living paternity’, we not only grasp an example of method, but also a militant pedagogical commitment to the people/childhood world expressed with extraordinary clarity, rigor, sensitivity, yet to be investigated to rediscover its richness and actuality
Paternità emigrata, transnazionale, ritrovata: in conversazione con la comunità bangladese di Firenze
Get PDFWhat relationships are being established between fatherhood and human mobility? How the paths of these two social realities intersect, and what mutual influences may derive from? And what if these dynamics happen to be incorporated into a transnational dimension between Bangladesh and Italy? Starting from these possible questions, this paper aims at analysing the topic of emigrated, transnational, and eventually regained fatherhood, against family reunifications within the Bangladeshi community of Florence. From this perspective, the reflection lays particular emphasis on the experience of separation and reunification in the context of transnational migrations, on the resultant father-child relationship, and the impact that the phenomenon of transnational parenthood may produce upon educational relationships and practices in family
La produzione linguistica del razzismo ovvero la costruzione di frontiere nell’interazione sociale
Get PDFThis article aims at describing the production of “races” as the result of categorization processes. During the social interactions of everyday life, in its different spheres, borders are linguistically and continuously realised and, in that way, value-related assumptions and moral pre-conceptions – on which discriminatory behaviours of different intensity are sometimes based – are imported. To examine the mechanisms of linguistic production of the border is exactly what will allow us to point out the need of knowing how to maintain ourselves able to abandon our categories, to think the “between” and to perform the crossing
The Diminution of Thomas Kyd
Get PDFThomas Kyd is traditionally accepted as the author of The Spanish Tragedy, Soliman and Perseda, and Cornelia. Kyd may also have written a lost Hamlet play that preceded Shakespeare’s version. Among his contemporaries, Kyd enjoyed a far higher reputation than he does today. Thomas Dekker and Ben Jonson’s respective epithets, ‘industrious’ and ‘sporting’, suggest that Kyd’s canon was considerably larger than the three plays now acknowledged as his, and that he may have written comedies. The article explores the ways in which Kyd’s reputation as a major dramatist has been impeded, with scholarly arguments for his authorship of anonymous texts often displaced by claims for Marlowe and/or Shakespeare. Furthermore, the theory that Kyd wrote the original Hamlet play has been countered by Terri Bourus, who argues that Q1 represents an older version of the play written by Shakespeare. The article thus surveys recent attribution and textual scholarship and suggests that Kyd has been the victim of a curious ideological phenomenon in early modern literary studies, which at once isolates Shakespeare, while enforcing notions of authorial plurality, even when the evidence for co-authorship is lacking. The article calls for a reassessment of Kyd’s legacy as a major dramatist of the period
