Argonauti e Colchi in Istria: Timagene fonte di Trogo e Plinio?
No full textLa leggenda del passaggio dei Colchi in Istria è evocata in epoche diverse da Plinio il Vecchio e Giustino, i quali la ricollegano all’origine del popolo degli Istri. L’obiettivo del contributo è individuare gli elementi di accordo tra le due fonti e di originalità rispetto alla tradizione antica, per verificare se si fossero ispirati alla medesima tradizione letteraria. In secondo luogo, vengono avanzati argomenti per identificare in Timagene di Alessandria una delle probabili fonti consultate da Pompeo Trogo e da Plinio sull’origine degli Istri.In different periods, Pliny the Elder and Justin recount the legend of the Colchians’ passage through Istria, associating it with the origins of the Istrian people. The purpose of this study is to identify the points of convergence between the two sources as well as the elements of originality in relation to ancient tradition, in order to demonstrate that both derive from a common literary tradition. Furthermore, the paper advances a set of arguments to support the hypothesis that Timagenes of Alexandria served as one of their sources of inspiration
Lo stato di diritto in una democrazia costituzionale. Contributo al dibattito su “Lo normativo: variedades y variaciones” di José Juan Moreso
No full textThe article addresses Moreso’s idea of the rule of law as an “organic unity” (Moore 1903) that combines three inter-dependent ideals: legality, democratic self-government, and the protection of human rights. First, the article points out that this idea goes beyond the contrast between formal (“thin”) and substantive (“thick”) conceptions of the rule of law to ground a new under-standing, according to which the rule of law is a set of integrated sub-ideals. Second, the paper discusses the terms in which this complex, integrated ideal may shape and guide the exercise of public powers in constitutional democratic orders. With a focus on public administration as a crucial actor in realizing this ideal

MacIntyre's Reading of Vasilij Grossman and the Contemporary Ways of Realism
No full textThe last book of Alasdair MacIntyre, recently translated into Italian, considers the peculiarity of Grossman’s life and work (MacIntyre 2016). Grossman appears as one of the examples of practical reasoners who succeeded in achieving a virtuous life. On the one hand, MacIntyre’s reading is a sign of the growing popularity of Grossman in our epoch. On the other hand, philosophically speaking, MacIntyre’s peculiar reading is part of a tradition of readers focused on Grossman’s work, which is considered part of or an emblem of a philosophical theory.This paper attempts to recall those fundamental early theoretical readings (1), to situate MacIntyre’s reading of Grossman within this tradition, emphasizing in particular his realism (2), and further to qualify Grossman’s realism, taking into account the chronological developmentof his thought in a metaphysical sense (3)

Transforming Education in Somalia: Empowering Teachers for a Promising Tomorrow
No full textThe education sector in Somalia faces significant challenges, particularly in teacher training and education. There is an urgent need for teacher empowerment, crucial for developing a generation of skilled learners capable of making significant contributions to national development. This article presents a narrative of the notable progress made by the Somali government in recruiting, training, and hiring public teachers over the past few years. The article asserts that meaningful educational reform for the country hinges on strategic in¬vestment in teacher development. This investment must include standardising teacher training and certification processes, creating conducive working conditions that promote job satisfaction, and addressing systemic barriers such as inadequate funding, lack of infrastructure, and societal perceptions of the teaching profession.Il settore dell’istruzione in Somalia si trova ad affrontare sfide significative, in particolare nella formazione e nell’istruzione degli insegnanti. Vi è un urgente bisogno di responsabilizzazione degli insegnanti, fondamentale per formare una generazione di studenti qualificati in grado di apportare un contributo significativo allo sviluppo nazionale. Questo articolo presenta i notevoli progressi compiuti dal governo somalo nel reclutamento, nella formazione e nell’assunzione di insegnanti pubblici negli ultimi anni. L’articolo afferma che una riforma educativa significativa per il Paese dipende da investimenti strategici nello sviluppo degli insegnanti. Questo investimento deve includere la standardizzazione dei processi di formazione e certificazione degli insegnanti, la creazione di condizioni di lavoro favorevoli che promuovano la soddisfazione professionale e l’affrontare di barriere sistemiche rappresentate da finanziamenti inadeguati, dalla mancanza di infrastrutture e percezioni della professione docente nella società
Introducing OTRM: a YouTube-based approach to media dialogue interpreters’ education
No full textAccelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, the digital revolution has radically changed our living, professional, and teaching/learning environments. In the field of Interpreting Studies, technology-mediated resources are now widely used by educators and students. With specific reference to dialogue interpreter education, the focus has increasingly been on situated learning approaches based on the use of real-life data. Building on these premises, this paper reports on a preliminary qualitative investigation of educational resources available on YouTube in the fields of healthcare and media interpreting. Findings reveal the presence of simulation-based learning materials in the former versus an absence of pedagogically embedded resources in the latter. In light of this, a research-based proposal for a social constructivist learning model is put forward: designed for both in-class and self-study education, the On-the-Tube Role-play Method (OTRM) aims at enabling students of media dialogue interpreting to engage with authentic data through a guided and structured learning process inviting personal as well as shared reflection on the specific challenges posed by the broadcast entertainment
