La prima cattedra universitaria in Lingue Moderne negli Stati Uniti. Carlo Bellini (1734-1804) e il College of William and Mary
Get PDFThis paper aims to reconstruct the context in which the first chair of Modern Languages was established in the United States. The chair, which was created at the College of William and Mary in 1779 and entrusted to Charles Bellini, who had arrived in the New World with Philip Mazzei, is the result of various factors: on the one hand the Revolution, on the other the higher education system reform and Thomas Jefferson’s personal interests
La didattica del cinese al Collegio dei Cinesi di Napoli durante il decennio francese. La Scuola Speciale di Lingua e Caratteri Cinesi e la Gramatica Chinese di Gennaro Terres
Get PDFIn 1812/13, Italian high school students at the Scuola Speciale di Lingua e Caratteri Cinesi of the Chinese College in Neaples were taught Chinese by native teachers. One of them, Gennaro Terres, wrote Gramatica Chinese, the first work ever written in Italian and entirely dedicated to the Chinese language. Through the analysis of this work and other related documents, this essay aims to reconstruct the educational context and teaching activities carried out at the Chinese College during the so-called ‘French decade’ in Naples
Aproximación universitaria decimonónica al estudio de la lengua española Egidio Gorra (1898), Lingua e letteratura spagnuola delle origini, Milán, Hoepli
Get PDFIn 1832, Bachi published a work that is considered the first university grammar book of Spanish for learners of Italian, who were not Italian native speakers. It was dedicated to students of Harvard University (USA). As far as Italian is concerned – although there are some other previous texts (Spagnolo de Monaci and D'Ovidio 1879) – Egidio Gorra’s work (Lingua e letteratura spagnuola delle origini), published by Hoepli in Milan (1898), constitutes the first historical grammar book specifically dedicated to a higher-education audience. It is a work intended for students of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Pavia, which includes many of the typical features of a university textbook. The purpose of the paper is to consider this characterization in light of previous Spanish grammars for Italian speakers, highlighting those elements that distinguish it as a university textbook

Ideology and Attitudinal Shift in Persian Political Interpreting
Get PDFOur paper contends that interpreters and translators cannot be regarded as mere conduits of non-contextualized meanings, but rather that they perform ‘readings’ of texts against situational and cultural contexts. Such performers are also liable to be constrained by their position as perhaps unconscious agents of their employers or ‘patrons’, whose influence is exerted on the ways in which the interpreters produce their readings. Using an analysis of two live televised presidential interviews and speeches with real-time translation for an Iranian audience, we suggest that extra-linguistic factors such as the ideological stance of the ‘patron’, led to attitudinal shifts during interpretation tasks in the Iranian political context of the time. These shifts were traced using the Appraisal framework (Martin and White 2005), where literal (English) translations of both the source texts and the interpreted texts by one of the authors allowed us to compare the evaluative resources used in each. The results of analysis demonstrate an interdependency between what is being said in the original language and the degree of the interpreters’ mediation in the communicative process. We present evidence of the interpreters’ inclination to mediate in the communicative process, apparently to ensure preserving the patrons’ stance in the political and ideological context in which they operate
Tolerance toward migrants among Italian adolescents and young adults: The role of civic and political participation
Get PDFThis paper aims at clarifying the relationship between being involved in different forms of participation and tolerance toward migrants in young people. Almost 3000 participants from two European-funded research projects – FP7 PIDOP and H2020 CATCH-EyoU – answered a questionnaire that measured socio-demographics variables, the dimension of fairness in school climate, different forms of civic and political participation, and tolerance toward migrants and refugees. The results are consistent between the two studies, showing that civic participation demonstrated a major positive effect on tolerance. Being older, female, born in a foreign country, having more educated parents, and perceiving fairness at school, were also conditions, which sustained the development of tolerance

Economic Polarization and Antisocial Behavior: an experiment
Get PDFWe experimentally study a situation where only the rich can reduce inequality while the poor can express their discontent by destroying the wealth of a rich counterpart with whom they had no previous interaction. We test whether the emergence of such forms of antisocial behavior depends only on the level of inequality, or also on the conditions under which inequality occurs. We compare an environment in which the rich can unilaterally reduce inequality with one where generosity makes them vulnerable to exploitation by the poor. We find that the rich are expected to be more generous in the former scenario than in the latter, but in fact this hope is systematically violated. We also observe that the poor engage in forms of antisocial behavior more often when reducing inequality would be safe for the rich. These results cannot be rationalized by inequality aversion alone, while they are in line with recent models that focus on anger as the result of the frustration of expectations
