COVID-19 and The International Political Economy of Everyday Life: An Introduction to the Special Issue
No full textLa caduta di Icaro: Su spazi e forme in Geografie di Anedda.
No full textA partire dal dialogo tra arte, ambienti raffigurati e scrittura nelle prose di Geografie, il saggio indaga i dispositivi formali adottati da Anedda nella rappresentazione degli spazi. Vengono prese in analisi le strategie narrative utilizzate per scardinare la dialettica tra spazio umano, risultato di una stratificazione temporale e culturale, e paesaggio indipendente dalla presenza umana: questa postura antiantropocentrica, insieme con gli elementi formali che ne derivano, fanno reagire l’opera di Anedda con la linea darwiniano-leopardiana che, nel Novecento, arriva fino a Italo Calvino.
English title: \u27The Fall of Icarus. On spaces and forms in Anedda\u27s Geografie\u27
Starting from the dialogue between art, depicted environments and writing in the prose of Geografie, this essay investigates the formal devices adopted by Anedda in representing spaces. The essay analyzes the narrative strategies used to unhinge the dialectic between human space, as a result of temporal and cultural stratification, and landscape, as a space independent from human presence: this anti-anthropocentric posture, together with the formal elements that derive from it, make Anedda\u27s work react with the Darwinian-Leopardian line that, in the twentieth century, reaches an author like Italo Calvino.
Soglie dell\u27impermanenza: Lo spazio etico della poesia di Antonella Anedda
No full textThe article focuses on the relevance of space in Antonella Anedda\u27s work, understood as an experience of openness to reality and history, as well as loss of protection and guarantees. It is then highlighted how the author\u27s poetics of space can be usefully placed in dialogue with Benjamin\u27s reflection in the Passages on "threshold experiences". Subsequently, the article aims to show the peculiarity of the reception by Anedda of the German-speaking poet Paul Celan, in an ethical rather than an aesthetic or merely existential key, starting precisely from a proximity regarding the relationship between the poetic word and "threshold words", between silence and the need to speak (and testify), in both authors
STEMinism in the classroom: Reflections from a female GTA
Get PDFThe need for professionals with a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) background is higher than ever before, and this need will continue to rise in future years, particularly for those with a university degree. Applications for STEM degrees in the UK are at an all-time high; however, women are significantly underrepresented in STEM courses at university, have higher dropout rates from these courses than their male counterparts, and even when they obtain a STEM degree, are less likely to choose a career in this field. These issues have been well-documented in the literature for over a decade, yet these issues still persist in the present day.This is a reflective piece from my perspective as a female graduate teaching assistant (GTA) teaching in STEM, highlighting the tools I use in the classroom to try and empower particularly female students and equip them for success. It also reflects on my own experiences, both as student and teacher, and discusses how GTAs working in STEM subjects can be pivotal in addressing some of the gender gaps outlined above
Unveiling the Crossroads: Reflections on Teaching Chinese Master’s Students in Chemical Engineering Labs
Get PDFIn recent years, the number of Chinese students enrolled in one-year postgraduate taught (PGT) programmes in UK universities has continued to increase, making graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) need to teach in a more international and diverse classroom environment. Such changes have impacted students\u27 learning expectations and the GTAs’ teaching experiences. Therefore, this reflection paper is based on my personal experience as a GTA to discuss the current situations and problems of teaching PGT students in engineering and provides insights for PGR teachers involved in teaching based on classroom observations and teaching reflection
«Onzi tandu naro una limba mia»: Aspetti, temi e problemi della poesia in «limba» di Antonella Anedda
No full textL’articolo si propone di analizzare la produzione in lingua sarda di Antonella Anedda. A partire dalla raccolta Dal balcone del corpo si mettono in evidenza i principali snodi tematici connessi a questa particolare zona creativa della poesia aneddiana, relazionandoli con quelli maggiori presenti anche negli altri libri della poetessa. A conclusione del discorso si propone una interpretazione che indaga i motivi e le implicazioni intertestuali comportate dalla scelta del dialetto sardo, inteso dall’autrice come una lingua “ibrida” che di necessità si relaziona con il proprio vissuto esistenziale.
The article aims to analyze Antonella Anedda\u27s poems in Sardinian language. Starting from the collection Dal balcone del corpo, the article point out the major themes inside Anedda’s works and investigates reasons and intertextual implications involved in the choice of the Sardinian dialect, understood by the author as a "hybrid" language that necessarily relates to one\u27s own existential experience
The Renaming of Those Hidden by the State: Mexico City’s La Glorieta de las Mujeres que Luchan
No full textThis article examines the anti-monument La glorieta de las mujeres que luchan, designed and stealthily placed by the Mexican collectives Antimonumenta and the Frente Amplio de Mujeres que Luchan to recognise the socio-political relevance of the feminist activists, commemorate and name victims of feminicide, decolonise the city and question the patriarchal official historical narrative. The wooden statue of a girl and the renaming of the site took place on 25 September 2021, after Mexico City’s government removed the statue of Christopher Columbus (to protect it from activists) and proposed to replace it with a monument that reproduced colonialist and patriarchal political mechanisms. I argue that La glorieta de las mujeres que luchan is a useful tool to remember the feminist protest and a memorial for victims of feminicide; meanwhile, it confronts the patriarchal historic narrative. Since the statue resulted from consent amongst feminist groups, it successfully represents the majority of women engaging in different movements against gender-based violence. The statue is located in Paseo de la Reforma, the most important avenue in Mexico City, where only two of the monuments represent female figures (both mythological characters) surrounded by several representations of male heroes. Drawing on Suzanne Lacy’s concept of “new genre public art” (Lacy, 1995) –popularised in Mexico by feminist artist Mónica Mayer– and Julia Antivilo’s (Antivilo Peña, 2008) (‘Ponencia Arte Feminista-Julia Antivilo’, 2020) analysis of feminist activism, I argue that the anti-monument is a constant reminder of feminist’s demands and stands as a perpetual activist act
What ‘Teeny’ Group Seminar Teach Us: Enhancing Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Small Group Seminar through Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) and Anecdotal Pedagogy
Get PDFThis reflective study delves into the nuanced impact of varying class sizes on the pedagogy of teaching literary theories and explores the ways of improving diversity in different classroom settings. It is based on my comparative analysis of the outcomes from teaching two different sizes of small seminar groups previously: one with eleven students and one that had between two and four students in regular attendance (what I term as a ‘teeny group’). To empower students to better empathise with the racial and gender inequalities portrayed in theoretical texts, and to facilitate a friendly and open dialogue for students to share their own perspectives and experiences, I employ technological tools such as Padlet and Vevox as well as my own perspective as anecdotal pedagogy, namely, the inclusion of personal experience into teaching methods and contents. In doing so, I create an online platform to allow my students to share their opinions anonymously and visually and make use of my identity as an Asian woman to encourage underrepresented marginalised groups to get involved in discussions. This reflective piece draws on the article ‘‘Violating Pedagogy’ by Heather G. S. Johnson (2015) as a theoretical framework to demonstrate both the strengths and limitations of the teeny group in comparison with the normally small group and further to evaluate different pedagogic methods in advancing Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) from a unique perspective. In doing so, this article contemplates the optimal classroom sizes for effective teaching and examines how various pedagogical approaches counteract the differences in class sizes
