“In fin dei conti non so che parlare di me”: Sulla lingua e lo stile di Rapato a zero
No full textIl contributo intende fornire una lettura linguistico-stilistica di Rapato a zero (1986), la raccolta degli articoli inviati e dettati al telefono da Carlo Coccioli al quotidiano fiorentino La Nazione. Dopo aver presentato i tratti più peculiari dello stile coccioliano (digressività, egotismo, allocutività) e aver mostrato com’essi siano espressione di una ben definita postura e strategia enunciativa, si propongono sondaggi lessicali e sintattici

Behind the 1944 “Great Escape”: Cycling and Politicized Memories at the VEMU Estonian Museum Canada
No full textThis paper presents the case of the Estonian Museum Canada in Toronto, also known as VEMU, to study the role of the community museum and archives in the Estonian migrant community’s identity formation and narrative construction. This paper takes up key concepts in diaspora studies, such as the uniquely fluid notions of home and identity embodied by diaspora communities. Through a visit to VEMU’s exhibition, titled 1944 The Great Escape, and a subsequent interview with the director of the institution, the authors find that the Estonian Canadian community provides an example of this phenomenon. Through holding archival records and active cultural events that draw upon the communal memory of overcoming hardship and maintaining cultural identity, VEMU encourages the younger generations of Estonian heritage—now third and fourth generation immigrants—to build a fluid, transnational identity that is not hard-bound to either their ancestral homeland or the newly settled diasporic land. Instead, the notion of “home” is tied to the culture people partake in enjoying and maintaining. VEMU offers a unique space for reflecting on the past and carving out a place for Estonian Canadians in the national narrative of multicultural Canada
Two-Eyed Seeing for Parents: Developing an App for Parents in the syilx Okanagan First Nation
No full textThis paper describes development of an offline app entitled Two-Eyed Seeing for Parents, which promotes syilx Okanagan Territory parents’ knowledge, confidence, and cultural practices for supporting optimal infant development, including exposure to their traditional language (nsyilxcən). “Two-Eyed Seeing” blends Indigenous and Western epistemic principles (syilx traditions complemented and supported by evidence-based content). Elders, members of the səxʷkn̓xitəlx k̓l̓ c̓əc̓málaʔ Early Years Table, and University of British Columbia researchers partnered to develop the offline app. The Table is committed to improving the well-being of syilx Okanagan Territory children. An Elder representing the Table signed a university cooperative research protocol agreement with one researcher. The agreement required signatories to adhere to principles of free, prior, and informed consent and Indigenous ownership, control, access, and possession and specified that the səxʷkn̓xitəlx k̓l̓ c̓əc̓málaʔ Early Years Table retained the exclusive ownership of and right to reproduce Indigenous knowledge in the app. Elders decided on content and organization of the app and crafted additional information to reflect community priorities. The content incorporates some elements of SmartParent, an evidence-based online SMS app. The offline app clusters resources by months of infants’ first years of life and by topic (including parents’ and infants’ emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, and mental and physical aspects of parenting). It contains original recordings of nsyilxcən language and extensive First Nations materials. Memotext created the app architecture. Elders and Table Members approved the final offline app version. The app offers syilx parents continuous access to culturally grounded information and overcomes problems with Internet access and prohibitive data costs to access links
