Alfabeto manuale e abilità di lettura. La modalità visivo-gestuale a supporto dell’apprendimento
No full textThe volume aims to present and evaluate some intervention programmes in which the visuo-gestural modality has been used as a communication and a reading support, in different educational and developmental contexts.
Sign language appears to be a valid instrument of inclusion not only for deaf people but also for hearing children, with communication disorders.
This is the case of the study we conducted in a primary school class, in which we used sign language as an inclusive means of communication for a non-verbal autistic child. Furthermore, we discuss Sillabiamo, a reading method based on fingerspelling, the manual alphabet used in sign languages.
We conducted five case studies in order to verify the effectiveness of this method and to improve its features.
In three of them, Sillabiamo is used as a first approach to reading; we used it with two groups of pre-school children (3;4-6;2) and a case of Down’s Syndrome associated with verbal dyspraxia (10;2). In the other two case studies, Sillabiamo is used as a support to specific reading difficulties in a case of Cornelia de Lange’s Syndrome (7;9) and a case of suspected SLD.
These studies reveal promising results of the use of Sillabiamo in the contexts we analyse. Sillabiamo gives participants useful information and tools towards the objective of decoding a written text or overcoming difficulties in fluency and accuracy in reading.Sillabiamo è un metodo multimodale di supporto ai meccanismi di lettoscrittura.
Attraverso rappresentazioni diverse, tra cui l’alfabeto manuale, mira a fornire all’apprendente un’informazione ricca, esplicita e completa del sistema sillabico della lingua italiana. In questo volume è presentato il processo di sviluppo di tale metodo e alcuni studi di caso che ne dimostrano l’efficacia in contesti diversi di apprendimento.
È utilizzabile in classe, o in interventi individuali, come primo approccio alla lettura o come supporto in caso di difficoltà specifiche legate alla decodifica
Lagoonscapes. Vol. 4, n. 1 - June 2024
No full textThis issue offers a selection of contributions by esteemed authors from the most diverse universities and institutes known for their work and commitment in Environmental Humanities, Ecocriticism, An-imal studies, Blue Sciences, Ethno-Ecology. Alongside them, a great space in this volume has been dedicated to the pioneering, experimental and creative work of younger researchers and postgradu-ates.
We therefore propose a long journey through the literature and recent brilliant narratives com-ing from Africa and India, corroborated by exploratory and ethnographic scientific investigations at the ‘edge of the world’, from the distant islands of Scotland (St Kilda) to the Himalayan ridge (Sikkim). A series of Italian case studies document paradoxes and problems of the Sicilian land-scape, of feral tourism in Venice, and of the environmental policies of the lagoons in the Po River Del-ta.
A renewed session dedicated to interviews, artistic performance and aesthetics enriches the final part of this volume. Through amazing productions from Australia, India, Italy, Estonia, the artist and the performer present themselves as a new sort of eco-political agents and mediators, in the attempt to process the traumatic anthropogenic ecological disaster and to reintegrate the individual into the living planet.

Tangible Images. Reading and Writing Classical Japanese Cinema
No full textJapanese cinema has commonly been studied through the contributions of major directors and actors, its various genres, and, more recently, by audience engagement. This monograph adopts an alternative viewpoint, focusing on the significant yet overlooked role of scriptwriters in the filmmaking process and in the popular imagination during the peak of the studio system between the 1930s and 1960s. Simultaneously, it examines the role and function of a new type of readership, equipped with specific intermedial skills, facilitated by the wide and continuous availability of film scenarios. The monograph is structured into three main parts.
The first part provides an analysis of the evolution of the textual format of the Japanese film scenario, emphasising the transformative period that coincided with the advent of sound cinema and tracing the development of the standard master-scene script. It also outlines the field of scenario publishing and demonstrates how the serialisation of film scripts in various periodicals, and their subsequent anthologising, functioned as a site for canon formation. An examination of the standardised use of the manuscript paper (genkō yōshi) in scriptwriting traces the implications arising from its medium specificity as a hybrid modern writing device. The second part shifts the focus to the act of reading scripts and discusses the concerted efforts of the Shinario bungaku undō (Scenario Literature Movement) to establish the scenario as a distinct entity within the literary field. It delineates several topics that emerged in course of the debate, including the scenario’s autonomous status, its role in inviting new talent from outside the industry, and its archival capacity for film preservation.
It also examines the unique faculties and skills required from readers of the scenario form, and discusses various examples and functions of readership, including film criticism by Itami Mansaku. The final part is dedicated to exploring the social and spatial conditions of scriptwriting. It highlights how the perceived critical status and privileged writing environment have projected a particular image of the writers and their creative processes.
A discussion of the collaborative writing space, as exemplified by the jōyado (regular inn), is further complicated by the introduction of gender in scriptwriting and contributions of several female writers. Finally, an examination of script scouting practises that characterise Japanese scriptwriting, and Mizuki Yōko’s work in particular, addresses the extent of scriptwriter’s agency and authorial status.
In conclusion, this book provides a multi-faceted exploration of the role of scriptwriters in Japanese cinema, highlighting their significant contributions and the complexities of their craft. As such, this study offers a fresh perspective on some of the reasons behind the international success of Japanese film since the 1950s, arguing for a more nuanced understanding that fully acknowledges the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the diversity of audience reception through cinema’s textual means
In My End is My Beginning. Dialectical Images in Times of Crisis
No full textThe volume comprises a selection of papers presented at the 6th Postgraduate International Conference organized by the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (Venice, 9-11 October 2024): In my End is my Beginning. Dialectical Images in Times of Crisis.
Both in the past and the present, humanity has been witnessing the collapse of its own identity, sociopolitical system and cultural order, as well as their restoration.
In this imbalance, Ernesto De Martino acknowledges the roots of crisis, elaborating how the end of the world represents the culmination of the issue of existence, caught between the risk of downfall and the quest for redemption.
At that moment, an apocalypse happens to reveal when a specific order needs to be replaced by new symbolic formations that correspond to the changed Zeitgeist.
The vitality of an apocalyptic thinking, which continually transforms and produces new images of the crisis, leads us to consider a dimension in which the clash between the past and the future creates a generative power.
In this liminal space between different meanings of ‘crisis’ and their translation into images, it is fundamental to consider what Walter Benjamin conceptualized as a dialectical image, a fragment wherein “what has been comes together in a flash with the now to form a constellation” (Arcades Project, 1999, 462).
The 6th Postgraduate International Conference was aimed at investigating the liminal space between different meanings of ‘crisis’ and ‘apocalypse’, discovering how, through multiple processes of translation into images, these notions reveal new, unexpected beginnings. This volume therefore investigates the image as a representation of this dialectical moment.

Indexing the Early Modern Printed Image. A Digital Catalogue on the Illustrated Book in Lyon (1480-1600)
No full textBetween around 1480 until the end of the sixteenth century, the city of Lyon became one of the most important printing hubs in Europe, second in France only to Paris. Developed along the banks of the two rivers Saône and Rhône, placed in a unique strategic position bordering Italy, Switzerland, and the south of Germany, the Renaissance city was a crossover of people, goods, and ideas.
In Lyon was published the first illustrated book in France, Le Mirouer de la Rédemption de l’Humaine Lignage (Huss, 1478).
Funded by the Equipex Biblissima (CNRS), the project Le Livre Illustré à Lyon (1480-1600) collected a substantial number of illustrated editions printed in the city in the sixteenth century, indexing these illustrations iconographically.
The corpus includes more than 3300 indexed images currently hosted in the Warburg Institute Iconographic Database. These images also served as material to initiate a digital project in collaboration with the Visual Geometry Group in Oxford and the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities in Venice.
In between Digital Iconography, Digital Art History and the History of Collections, the book offers insight into the new methodologies of the Digital Humanities to index, search, and share early modern printed images.

Gadaa Across Domains. A Long-Term Study of an African Democratic Institution
No full textEthiopia is a multi-ethnic and multi-national state with historically complex and often contentious internal relations.
This book explores the history of the gadaa system, hailed in the post-colonial context as a paradigmatic example of African democratic institutions and a powerful symbol of Oromo political emancipation.
This customary institution has undergone a revival independent of international indigenous rights frameworks and now holds significant potential as a mechanism for protecting the common resources of communities and peoples in the Oromia region of Ethiopia.
The first part of this volume is devoted to describing the gadaa institution among the Oromo-Borana, where it continued to operate throughout the nineteenth century, a period in which it almost disappeared in other Oromo areas.
The second part outlines the history of top-down interactions with customary institutions in Oromo-Borana areas, addressing national and international development, biodiversity conservation, and especially politics and inter-ethnic conflict.
The third part broadens the focus from the Borana to the wider Oromo and Ethiopian contexts
