Sulla specializzazione semantica di alcuni fitonimi del napoletano in -illo ed -élla
Get PDFItL'articolo mette a fuoco un piccolo campione di fitonimi del dialetto napoletano formati con i suffissi diminutivi –ìllo ed –élla: cetrulìllo, melìllo, sciurìllo, turzìllo; ammennulélla, cerzolélla, frunnélla, scarolélla. Tali lessemi di ambito fitonimico sono documentati nelle fonti testuali e lessicografiche del Dizionario Etimologico e Storico del Napoletano, le quali coprono un arco cronologico compreso tra il XIV e il XXI secolo. La prima parte del contributo svolge alcune riflessioni sulla produttività dei due suffissi diminutivi, in napoletano così come nelle altre varietà centro-meridionali della penisola italoromanza. La parte centrale dello studio invece si concentra sullo spettro semantico dei fitonimi diminutivi considerati, i quali documentano una serie di nuove accezioni, afferenti anche ad altri domini oltre a quello botanico, non rilevate nelle rispettive basi.EnThe paper focuses on a small sample of fitonyms in the Neapolitan dialect formed with the diminutive suffixes –ìllo and –élla: cetrulìllo, melìllo, sciurìllo, turzìllo; ammennulélla, cerzolélla, frunnélla, scarolélla; these phytonymic lexemes are documented in the textual and lexicographical sources of the Dizionario Etimologico e Storico del Napoletano (Etymological and Historical Dictionary of Neapolitan), which covers a period from the 14th to the 21st century. The first part of the article reflects on the productivity of the two diminutive suffixes in Neapolitan and other central-southern Italo-Romance dialects. The central part of the study focuses on the semantics of the diminutive phytonyms considered, which document a series of new meanings belonging to the botanical domain but also to other domains, not present in the respective bases
I mestieri scomparsi a Novoli
Get PDFItL'Autore, a lungo collaboratore di p. G.B. Mancarella e ricercatore su temi di onomastica salentina, propone qui un contributo simbolico offerto in suo ricordo. Si tratta di un breve saggio in cui, constatando gli incisivi cambiamenti dei settori di maggiore occupazione lavorativa nell'area salentina e in particolare a Novoli (Lecce), raccoglie una lista di nomi dialettali di mestieri. Il succinto elenco di forme lessicali prodotto consente di desumere, oltre a informazioni sulle principali componenti socio-economiche di questa comunità degli ultimi secoli, interessanti spunti di carattere linguistico e antropologico.EnThe Author, a long-time collaborator of Fr.

The concise list of lexical forms produced provides not only information on the main socio-economic components of this community over the last few centuries, but also interesting linguistic and anthropological insights
From Streets to Screens: Seriality and Political Communication in Iran's "Women, Life, Freedom" Movement
Get PDFThe proposed research investigates the role of seriality in the digital political communication of Iranian protest movements, with particular focus on the "Women, Life, Freedom" uprising. Building on scholarship on media seriality and political storytelling, the article examines how protesters employed recurring hashtags, episodic video updates, and viral formats across platforms such as Twitter/X, Instagram, and TikTok to produce an alternative narrative structure that opposed state-controlled discourse. The analysis conceptualises these practices as a form of "episodic dissent," where individual posts function as discrete narrative units while simultaneously contributing to a continuous storyline of resistance. The paper will argue that seriality served three principal functions: first, it established temporal continuity, allowing dispersed acts of protest to be framed as unfolding episodes within a larger struggle; second, it fostered participatory engagement by inviting users to reproduce and adapt recurring formats; and third, it generated a cumulative archive that strengthened transnational solidarity and countered the erasure produced by censorship. By situating Iranian digital activism within the logic of serial communication, the article contributes to broader debates on the relationship between media form and political practice, demonstrating how seriality operates as both a narrative strategy and a mode of collective resistance under authoritarian conditions
The Return of Islamic Rhetoric: Hamas and Conflict Framing in the Gaza War 2023-2024
Get PDFThe speeches of Abū 'Ubayda, the spokesperson for Hamas' military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, are one of the key aspects of the 2023–2024 war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. Abū 'Ubayda came to be viewed as the "voice of the umma" and the Palestinian people, receiving extensive media coverage, including Al-Jazeera. This article analyzes his speeches as a discursive phenomenon in terms of rhetoric (performative vs. informative), structure (opening, middle, and closing), and meaning (framing the war as a religious conflict). Here, it is argued that Abū 'Ubayda's primary objective was to use the performative rhetoric of framing, asserting, and support-calling to portray the conflict as a religious war of al-Aqsa's liberation while omitting local realities and specifics on the ground. The reintroduction of religious rhetoric to the Arab-Muslim public discourse and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is likely to make positions more entrenched and uncompromising
Pan che non muore: dall'Arcadia alla totalità del cosmo
Get PDFItLa vicenda mitica del dio Pan esemplifica la natura dinamica dei miti greci antichi, concepiti come organismi viventi in continua evoluzione, aperti a revisioni e reinterpretazioni. In particolare, la morte e rinascita del dio assumono, nell'età moderna, il valore simbolico della persistenza della cultura classica e dei suoi modelli. Il presente contributo esamina le trasformazioni del mito di Pan, dalle fonti antiche fino alle riletture nella poesia italiana del Novecento, con particolare attenzione a Pascoli e D'Annunzio.EnThe mythical narrative of the god Pan exemplifies the dynamic nature of ancient Greek myths, conceived as living organisms in constant evolution, open to revisions and reinterpretations. In particular, the god's death and rebirth acquire, in the modern age, a symbolic significance reflecting the enduring legacy of classical culture and its models. This paper explores the transformations of the myth, tracing its development from ancient sources to its reinterpretations in twentieth-century Italian poetry, with a special focus on Pascoli and D'Annunzio
Media Education: rileggerne il ruolo nell’era post-mediale
Get PDFRiassunto: La Media Education ha tra i suoi principi ispiratori la conoscenza critica dei media, a cui indirizzare educandi e discenti attraverso processi formativi appositamente studiati. Pur non travalicandone il senso originario, all’interno della società post-mediale occorre però ripensarla sotto il profilo epistemologico e didattico. I percorsi di Media Education, infatti, non possono più fare a meno di integrare elementi multiculturali e di AI Education, poiché è la stessa società contemporanea a richiederlo. Il presente contributo, pertanto, circostanziandosi alla scuola secondaria di primo grado, intende ridefinire il concetto di Media Education nella società postmoderna. Lo fa approfondendo le modalità operative mediante le quali gli elementi multiculturali e di AI Education si possono integrare nelle pratiche formative riguardanti i media, con l’obiettivo di sviluppare negli alunni una nuova concezione di cittadinanza.Parole chiave: Media Education, Intelligenza Artificiale, Multiculturalismo, IA Education, Cittadinanza Abstract: Media Education is grounded in the principle of fostering a critical understanding of media, to which learners should be guided through specifically designed educational processes. Without departing from its original meaning, however, it is necessary to reconsider Media Education within the post-media society from both an epistemological and a pedagogical perspective. Educational pathways in Media Education can no longer dispense with the integration of multicultural elements and AI Education, since contemporary society itself demands such an approach. This contribution, therefore, focusing on lower secondary school, aims to redefine the concept of Media Education in postmodern society. It does so by examining the operational strategies through which multicultural and AI Education components can be integrated into media-related educational practices, with the ultimate goal of fostering in students a renewed conception of citizenship.Keywords: Media Education, Artificial Intelligence, Multiculturalism, AI Education, Citizenshi
