Del policial clásico al post-neopolicial
No full textDel policial clásico al post-neopolicial: La estética del crimen en la narrativa mexicana, 1940–2020 is a comprehensive study of Mexican crime fiction from cultural, gender, social, political, and literary perspectives. This book covers the different phases Mexican crime fiction has evolved through in the past eighty years: classical detective fiction (1940–1960s), género negro (1970s), neopolicial (1980–2000), narconarrative (1990s to the present), and post-neopolicial (2000 to the present). The first half of the book offers an overview of the development of crime fiction in the United States, how it was adopted by Mexican writers in the 1940s, and the changes it went through in its various phases. Writers studied include, among others, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, Rafael Ramírez Heredia, and Juan Hernández Luna. In addition, the author of this book coins a new term, post-neopolicial, to describe the most current form of crime fiction in the twenty-first century as exemplified in a corpus of novels that depict the realities of contemporary Mexico. The second half of the book focuses on the evolution of crime fiction by Mexican women writers from the 1940s to the present: from the classic detective formula to contemporary realistic narratives protagonized by subversive female characters in the works of María Elvira Bermúdez, Margos de Villanueva, Rosa Margot Ochoa, Ana María Maqueo, Carmen Boullosa, Myriam Laurini, Susana Pagano, Liliana Blum, Cristina Rivera Garza, Ana Ivonne Reyes Chiquete, Orfa Alarcón, Malú Huacuja del Toro, and others.Del policial al post-neopolicial: La estética del crimen en la narrativa mexicana, 1940-2020 es un estudio comprensivo de la narrativa criminal mexicana desde una perspectiva cultural, de género, social, política y literaria. Este libro abarca las diferentes facetas de la evolución de la narrativa criminal mexicana durante los últimos ochenta años: el policial clásico (1940–1960s), el género negro (1970s), el neopolicial (1980–2000), la narconarrativa (1990s-presente), y el post-neopolicial (2000-presente). La primera sección del libro ofrece una vista panorámica del inicio y evolución de la narrativa criminal en los Estados Unidos, su adopción por los escritores mexicanos en los años 1940s y los sucesivos cambios por los cuales el género ha atravesado durante sus diferentes facetas. Entre los escritores que se analizan en detalle en esta sección se encuentran Paco Ignacio Tabo II, Rafael Ramírez Hereda y Juan Hernández Luna. Cabe destacar que la autora de este libro ha acuñado un término nuevo, el post-neopolicial, para describir las formas más vigentes de la narrativa criminal mexicana del siglo veintiuno, ejemplificada en un corpus de novelas que retratan las realidades contemporáneas. La segunda mitad del libro se enfoca en la evolución de la narrativa criminal escrita por mujeres desde 1940 hasta el tiempo presente: de la fórmula clásica a las narrativas realistas contemporáneas protagonizadas por personajes femeninos subversivos en las obras de María Elvira Bermúdez, Margos de Villanueva, Rosa Margot Ochoa, Ana María Maqueo, Carmen Boullosa, Myriam Laurini, Susana Pagano, Liliana Blum, Cristina Rivera Garza, Ana Ivonne Reyes Chiquete, Orfa Alarcón, Malú Huacuja del Toro y otras
Una Bloomsbury mediterranea. Domenico Rea nella Napoli del Dopoguerra
No full textThe text sets out the reasons why it was thought to juxtapose the “Sud” group, active in post-World War II Naples, with the one called Bloomsbury, named after the London neighborhood that in the early decades of the twentieth century was home to the intellectuals who made it famous. In fact, the two communities turned out to be significantly related: both constituted by relations at the same time intellectual, political and affective, both cultivated innovative projects on the level of thought and custom, cultivated the civilizing force of culture and literature and believed in utopia, recognizing themselves as promoters of a “renaissance” of their respective realities. The environment and atmosphere of Rea's youth, marked first by the magazine “Sud” and then by that of “The Narrative Reasons,” are thus placed in full light and enhanced in the perspective of the intellectual biography of the writer whose centennial is being celebrated. The interventions that follow then explore Rea's own relationship with, respectively, Mario Stefanile, Luigi Incoronato, Anna Maria Ortese, Raffaele La Capria, and Michele Prisco. While the city of Naples, as a text and as a paradigm of thought, serves as a backdrop for the various reflections; Rea's language and style are subjected to an enlightening revisiting; and the rereading of the two journals, “Sud” and “Le ragioni narrative,” allows us to profitably scan the writer's career.PublishedIl volume aspira a rendere conto delle ragioni per le quali si è pensato di accostare il gruppo “Sud”, attivo nella Napoli del secondo dopoguerra, a quello chiamato Bloomsbury, dal nome del quartiere di Londra che nei primi decenni del Novecento ospitò gli e le intellettuali che lo resero famoso. Le due comunità si sono rivelate infatti significativamente affini: costituite entrambe da relazioni allo stesso tempo intellettuali, politiche e affettive, entrambe hanno coltivato progetti innovativi sul piano del pensiero e del costume, hanno coltivato la forza civilizzatrice della cultura e della letteratura e creduto nell’utopia, riconoscendosi promotrici di un “rinascimento” delle rispettive realtà. L’ambiente e l’atmosfera della giovinezza di Rea, contrassegnati dapprima dalla rivista “Sud” e poi da “Le ragioni narrative”, vengono dunque posti in piena luce, e valorizzati nella prospettiva della biografia intellettuale dello scrittore di cui si celebra il centenario. Gli interventi che si susseguono esplorano quindi la relazione dello stesso Rea con, rispettivamente, Mario Stefanile, Luigi Incoronato, Anna Maria Ortese, Raffaele La Capria, Michele Prisco. Mentre la città di Napoli, come testo e come paradigma di pensiero, fa da sfondo alle diverse riflessioni; la lingua e lo stile di Rea vengono sottoposti a una illuminante rivisitazione; e la rilettura delle due riviste, “Sud” e “Le ragioni narrative”, permette di scandire con profitto la carriera dello scrittore
Auslandsstudium an der Schwelle zum Erwachsenenwerden
No full textIn contrast to the other EU countries, Luxembourg has an almost 100 per cent student mobility rate (apart from the coronavirus pandemic). Although there is a long and still practised tradition of studying completely abroad (degree mobility), as well as comprehensive short-term mobility (credit mobility) at the University of Luxembourg, few academic studies are dedicated to Luxembourg students studying abroad. This publication partially fills this gap. Based on narrative interviews and an online survey, it examines how stays abroad are organised by credit and degree students from Luxembourg and what significance they have for young people. Not only the what, but also the how and, above all, the why of studying abroad are examined. The different orientations of degree and credit students show that the norm of study-related mobility in Luxembourg is questioned by young people. In addition, various roles of parents and peers in the process of student mobility make it clear that time abroad cannot be seen as a context-free part of young people's lives. Rather, study-related mobility is discussed in this study as a special and multidimensional biographical moment on the threshold of adulthood. In addition, the two forms of study-related mobility - degree and credit - are systematically compared with each other, as this perspective has been neglected in previous debates.PublishedIm Gegensatz zu den anderen EU-Staaten weist Luxemburg (abgesehen von der Corona-Pandemie) eine nahezu 100-prozentige Quote bei der Studierendenmobilität auf. Obwohl es eine lange und immer noch praktizierte Tradition, vollständig im Ausland zu studieren (Degree-Mobilität), sowie flächendeckende Kurzzeitmobilität (Credit-Mobilität) an der Universität Luxemburg gibt, widmen sich wenig wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen dem Auslandsstudium von LuxemburgerInnen. Diese Publikation schließt diese Lücke teilweise. Anhand von narrativen Interviews sowie einer Online-Umfrage wird untersucht, wie Auslandsaufenthalte von Credit- und Degree-Studierenden aus Luxemburg gestaltet werden und welche Bedeutung sie für junge Menschen haben. Es wird nicht nur nach dem Was, sondern auch nach dem Wie und vor allem nach dem Wieso bezüglich des Auslandsstudiums gefragt. Die verschiedenen Orientierungen der Degree- und Credit-Studierenden zeigen, dass die Norm der studienbezogenen Mobilität in Luxemburg von jungen Menschen in Frage gestellt wird. Darüber hinaus verdeutlichen diverse Rollen der Eltern und Peers im Prozess der Studierendenmobilität, dass die Zeit im Ausland nicht als ein kontextfreier Teil des Lebens junger Menschen betrachtet werden kann. Vielmehr wird die studienbezogene Mobilität in der vorliegenden Arbeit als ein besonderer und multidimensionaler biographischer Moment an der Schwelle zum Erwachsenwerden diskutiert. Darüber hinaus werden die beiden Formen der studienbezogenen Mobilität – Degree und Credit – systematisch miteinander verglichen, da diese Perspektive in den bisherigen Debatten vernachlässigt wurde
Educação inclusiva: em foco a formação de professores
No full textOs novos desafios postos aos professores são imensos. Como, por exemplo, flexibilizar o currículo, atuar de forma colaborativa com profissionais do atendimento educacional especializado, intérpretes de Libras, professores de apoio? Como organizar, na prática, a bidocência? Quais conhecimentos os professores devem ter na sua formação inicial para que tenham condições reais de trabalharem e construírem uma escola para todos? Que conhecimentos são necessários para garantir aos professores a articulação entre os diferentes saberes teóricos e práticos para atuar com a diversidade de alunos que integram o público da Educação Especial? Como os professores do atendimento educacional especializado articulam suas práticas com as ações pedagógicas realizadas no ensino comum? Que conhecimentos fundamentam suas práticas? Como organizar currículos e conteúdos que auxiliem na formação de professores numa perspectiva inclusiva? Basta oferecer uma ou duas disciplinas para atender as dimensões que envolvem as explicações teóricas e práticas sobre a constituição da diversidade humana? Algumas dessas questões são abordadas nos capítulos que constituem este livro, problematizando certezas e indicando caminhos, possibilidades e desafios a serem enfrentados pela pesquisa e pelas políticas públicas no que diz respeito à formação de professores.Publishe
Misurare la fragilità negli anziani
No full textThe steady ageing of the population poses growing challenges for welfare systems, given the rising number of older individuals living with compromised health. In this context, the concept of “frailty” plays a crucial role: being able to identify frail individuals means detecting early signs of vulnerability and guiding targeted preventive interventions. This volume explores the theoretical and methodological foundations of the various perspectives on frailty, offering a comprehensive and structured overview of the tools currently available for its measurement. Readers are guided through a structured journey that encompasses key definitions, measurement tools, and methodological approaches. Each element is examined with regard to its strengths, limitations, and empirical applicability, through a statistical and methodological lens and with careful attention to data sources. In addition to physical frailty, significant attention is given to cognitive and social frailty – dimensions often overlooked but essential to an integrated and multidimensional understanding of the phenomenon. This resource is designed for healthcare professionals, social workers, statisticians, researchers, and policy makers who aim to study, measure, and address frailty through a rigorous, quantitative approach
Gli Essais in altra lingua. Traiettorie europee di Montaigne
No full textPublished‘Gli Essais in altra lingua‘ indicano nella traduzione dell’opera di Montaigne l’oggetto dell’indagine a cui sono dedicati i contributi di questo volume, che spaziano in più contesti linguistici – segnatamente tedesco, inglese, spagnolo e italiano – e in più secoli, dalla prima traduzione italiana del 1590 alle versioni tedesche del XVIII secolo, fino a quelle pubblicate a Milano lungo tutto l’Ottocento. Due linee direttrici complementari sostengono la ricerca: la prima propone l’analisi dei testi e delle singole scelte traduttive, tese innanzitutto a valorizzare la ‘scrittura’ dell’écrivain bordolese e a collocare i suoi Essais all’interno di un’ideale biblioteca linguisticoletteraria di matrice europea; la seconda esplora le cosiddette ‘traiettorie’ del testo e delle sue traduzioni all’interno di un poli-sistema culturale che riguarda parte consistente dell’Europa e che interessa strategie editoriali, politiche linguistiche, istituzioni e società.
Nonostante il carattere specificamente nazionale delle singole traiettorie europee degli Essais, esistono punti di convergenza mobili, ‘passerelle’ che travalicano la diversità dei contesti geografici, politici, culturali, e depotenziano quella sorta di illisibilité che accompagna nei secoli l’opera di Montaigne.
La traduzione è esercizio di ascolto e restituzione, di misura della conoscenza di sé e dell’altro, indagarla in modo approfondito offre una riflessione importante sul piano diacronico quanto su quello sincronico dell’ermeneutica montaignana: le traduzioni valorizzano la polisemia degli Essais, palesano elementi che nell’originale restavano silenti e lo fanno spesso per vie inattese, operando scelte, sostituzioni, negoziazioni non solo necessarie ma anche rivelatrici di una cultura europea, en mouvement
Dioptrice
No full textKepler's Dioptrice is a seminal work in the fields of optics and astronomy. Written in response to the ground-breaking telescopic discoveries announced by Galileo Galilei in March 1610, the Dioptrice contained the first theory of the telescope—a theory that Kepler was uniquely qualified to develop--and provided an essential foundation for modern geometrical optics.
In the preface, Kepler highlights several examples of the close links which, then as now, exist between optics and astronomy. His excitement about Galileo's new observations is palpable, especially the discoveries of the four moons orbiting Jupiter and the phases of Venus. Both discoveries lent crucial support to the Copernican system, of which Kepler had been an ardent supporter since his days as a student in Tübingen.
The Dioptrice is available here in a complete English translation for the first time, along with an introduction and numerous notes to help guide the reader through Kepler's text

Erzählte Mode
No full textErzählte Mode zeichnet sich durch historische, medienspezifische, regionale, ästhetische und theoretische Charakteristiken aus. Dieser Band versammelt multi- und transdisziplinäre Analysen, die einen Eindruck von dem Facettenreichtum sowie den spezifischen Eigenheiten des Themas vermitteln. Gefragt wird etwa danach, warum es sich im Fall von Lewis Carrolls Alice um eine modische Ikone handelt, wie Modezeitschriften mit Papierpuppen eine neue, transnationale ›Celebrity-Kultur‹ im 19. Jahrhundert etablieren, was es mit dem »bunten Kleid« auf sich hat, das der Protagonist in Thomas Manns Romanwerk »Joseph und seine Brüder« geschenkt bekommt, oder auf welche Weise textile Artefakte in multi-modalen Textsorten wie den ›Dress Diaries‹ konserviert und rezipiert werden können
Shaping Film Festivals In a Changing World
No full textThis volume is a collective attempt on the part of a community of academics, film festival curators, and archivists to come to terms with practical and intellectual challenges of the pandemic and post-pandemic realities affecting cultures of film festivals. The collection draws contours of critical inquiry orienting current film festival research and practice to explore new directions in archiving and decolonizing practices and big data analysis in the post-Covid-19 context and beyond. The four-part study gathers the voices of academics and practitioners who engage in a dialogue to articulate critical areas for both study and practice of film festivals, and identifies conceptual tools to address them: “Archival Turn,” “Decolonizing Film Festival Studies,” “Post-Covid-19 and Film Festival Studies” and “Data Visualization and Film Festival Research and Practice.
