Captures of common angelsharks Squatina squatina (Squatinidae) from the Algerian coast (Southwesternern Mediterranean Sea)
Get PDFThe authors report in the present paper the captures of two specimens of common angelshark Squatina squatina (Linnaeus, 1758) from the eastern region of the Algerian coast. Both specimens were adult females, they measured 1270 and 1320 mm in total length, their total body weights probably reached more than 15 kg. The specimens are described and comments on their distribution indicate that probably a viable population exists in the Algerian marine waters. However, a management should be implemented to avoid a decline of the species in the area
Taxonomic insights: an identification key to Mediterranean Spionidae Grube, 1850
Get PDFItGli Spionidae rappresentano una famiglia di policheti diversificata e cruciale negli ecosistemi bentonici mediterranei come bioindicatori e nel ciclo dei nutrienti. L'identificazione accurata a livello specifico è complessa, ed ostacola gli studi ecologici. Questo lavoro fornisce una chiave per i generi e le specie di Spionidae del Mediterraneo. Questa chiave mira ad essere una risorsa vitale per ricercatori e studenti, migliorando l'identificazione degli Spionidae nel Mediterraneo, in particolare considerato il loro significato ecologico e il potenziale impatto delle specie non indigene sui popolamenti nativi e sulle attività umane.EnSpionidae is a diverse polychaete family crucial in Mediterranean benthic ecosystems as bioindicators and in nutrient cycling. Accurate identification is challenging, hindering ecological studies. This work provides a key for Mediterranean Spionidae genera. This key aims to be a vital resource for researchers and students, improving Spionidae identification in the Mediterranean, considering their ecological significance and invasive potential
“I Remember when The Beatles Came”: A Corpus-Assisted Discourse Study of Women’s Musical Oral Histories
Get PDFCombining corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, this article examines the language used by American women of the Boomer generation to describe what it meant to listen to rock music in the late 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on their first-hand accounts, the study focuses on the realisation of stance through which participants construct meaning and negotiate their positioning within a historically male-dominated cultural space. The findings reveal that they employ emotionally rich and evaluative language to articulate a nuanced affective stance, integrating personal investment with informed appreciation. This stance not only shapes their musical experiences but also serves as a means of resisting dominant, often stereotypical, models of fandom by foregrounding reflective, critical, and culturally significant forms of engagement. The study further demonstrates that incorporating corpus methods into oral history research can uncover specific linguistic patterns that might remain unnoticed in purely qualitative analyses. The article is relevant to the field of linguistics and may also be of interest to scholars in cultural studies, music studies, and memory studies
Translating into Italian Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Herland (1915)
Get PDFCharlotte Perkins Gilman’s Herland (1915) setting is considered the first feminist literary utopia centred on a land inhabited and governed by women. During the geographical and metaphorical journey of three male characters through fictional locations in South America, they gradually question the working mechanism of the patriarchal order, discussing the hegemonic discourse, binary opposition, and the culturally embedded assumptions about gender. In the following essay I will analyse some passages from the Italian translation Terradilei (1980) by Angela Campana and Terra di lei (2011) by Anna Scacchi, with a short reference to Franco Venturi’s version, published in 2015, in order to discuss the complex concepts of the active presence and creativity of the translator in the text, a self-sufficient node in a dynamic web, connected with the principle of fidelity in translation
