O ser narrativo e ressonante em Novecento, de Alessandro Baricco
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.Neste trabalho analisamos na narrativa italiana Novecento: un monologo, do escritor contemporâneo Alessandro Baricco, o estabelecimento de uma suspensão na qual é possível narrar, contar histórias. Essa suspensão é criada pelo personagem Novecento, protagonista da narrativa, pianista que passa a vida toda dentro de um navio e conhece o mundo somente por meio das narrativas dos passageiros, as quais faz ressonar em sua música e na narrativa da própria história, que transmite ao amigo Tim, o personagem-narrador do enredo. Com base principalmente nos estudos de Walter Benjamin, consideramos a pobreza de experiência a que o homem foi submetido na modernidade, a necessidade de pensar a História por um viés discursivo questionador e a possibilidade de uma resistência por meio do ato de contar histórias. Novecento é o ser que torna possível a ressonância, nos termos de Jean Luc-Nancy, por meio da qual as narrativas se fazem ouvir, compartir e circular.This study analyzes, in the contemporary Italian writer Alessandro Baricco's narrative Novecento: un monologue, the establishment of a suspension in which it is possible to narrate, to tell stories. That suspension is created by the protagonist Novecento, a pianist who has lived his whole life on a ship and knows the world by means of its passengers' narratives, which resonate in his music and in the narrative of his own story, imparted to his friend Tim, the character-narrator of the plot. Based mainly on Walter Benjamin's studies, we consider the poverty of experience to which man has been subjected in modernity, the need to think History from a questioning point of view and the possibility of resistance through the act of telling stories. Novecento is the being who makes possible a "resonance" (in the sense given by Jean Luc-Nancy) through which narratives can be heard, shared and circulated
Striving for difference: On the spontaneous preference for ingroup members who maximize ingroup positive distinctiveness
No full textPrevious research demonstrated that individuals spontaneously prefer ingroup members who display ingroup favoritism
rather than egalitarian behaviors (Castelli, Tomelleri, & Zogmaister, 2008). In the current work, we explored what specific strategies toward ingroup favoritism are spontaneously preferred. Results from four studies showed that ingroup members who made it possible for the ingroup to achieve a positive intergroup differentiation were preferred as compared to ingroup members who maximized the absolute gain for the ingroup. Study 5 further demonstrated that in the search for positive distinctiveness people are sensitive to the ratio between the gains of the ingroup and outgroup. Study 6 ruled out a possible alternative explanation. Overall, the current findings indicate that group members who set the difference from an outgroup elicit the most positive spontaneous responses demonstrating that the search for a positive intergroup distinctiveness automatically affects intragroup perception
I Castelli Romani: storia di una identità
No full textIl saggio ripercorre per nodi salienti le trasformazioni infrastrutturali, economico-produttive, sociali e politico-associative che, dall’Unità agli anni più recenti del nuovo secolo, anche in continuità con fili lunghi del passato, vanno a delineare una specificità dell’area dei Castelli nell’ambito della regione romana.The transformations in infrastructures, economic activity, social and political environment that from Unification to the beginning of 2000's indicate the peculiarity of the area of Castelli in the Roman region, also in continuity with the threads of the past
Perceiving ingroup members who use stereotypes: Implicit conformity and similarity
No full textPrevious studies have shown that people subtly conform more to ingroup members who use stereotype-consistent rather than stereotype-inconsistent information when describing an outgroup member (Castelli, Vanzetto, Sherman, & Arcuri, 2001). In the present article, we will address two important issues. First, we will examine whether this subtle conformity toward stereotypers is related to individuals’ prejudice level (Study 1). Second, we will examine one of the processes that underlie the perception of ingroup members who use stereotype-consistent information, hypothesizing that individuals implicitly feel more similar to such sources than to ingroup members who use stereotype-inconsistent information (Study 2). Both hypotheses were confirmed and results are discussed in terms of the distinction between implicit and explicit attitudes and their implications in the maintenance of social stereotypes
Political ideology and attitude change toward moral and immoral persons.
No full textRecently, there has been a renewed interest in the investigation of the specific features that characterize people who endorse different ideologies (e.g., Carney et al., 2008). For instance, research has pointed out that conservatives and liberals emerge as very distinct groups, not only for personal opinions, personality and cognitive style (Jost et al., 2009), but also for deeper mechanisms. For instance, conservatives (vs. liberals) display an automatic selective attention for negative (vs. positive) stimuli (Carraro et al., 2011) and this seems to have important social consequences. For instance, conservatives tend to more easily form illusory correlations between negative information and minority groups (Castelli & Carraro, 2011; Carraro et al., 2013). In the present study, we further explored the likely consequences of this attentional asymmetry in attitude formation and change processes toward moral and immoral persons. Participants were initially (phase 1) presented with moral (vs. immoral, between participants) behaviors performed by a person. Then, implicit (IAT; Greenwald et al., 1998) and explicit attitudes toward that person were detected. Subsequently (phase 2), participants were presented with counter-attitudinal information regarding the same person, and then implicit and explicit attitudes were detected again. Overall, conservatives demonstrated a higher tendency to change their implicit attitudes when negative information was presented as second information. That is in line with the idea that conservatives weight more negative than positive information and thus they are more likely to change their opinion about a moral person but they are less likely to change their opinion about an immoral person
Emotional correlates of political ideology: differences in disgust sensitivity.
No full textWithin political psychology there is a vibrant interest toward the differences between conservatives and liberals, such as differences in personality profiles, cognitive styles, musical and artistic preferences (e.g., Jost et al., 2003). More relevant here, recent studies found differences in the reaction to negative stimuli: conservatives (vs. liberals) display more intense physiological reactions (e.g., skin conductance) to threatening information (Oxley et al., 2008). Moreover, their attention seems to be automatically grabbed by negative vs. positive stimuli (Carraro et al., 2011). Finally, research has described conservatives as higher in disgust sensitivity (e.g., Inbar et al., 2008). The main aim of the current work is to further investigate both controlled and automatic reactions of conservatives and liberals to disgust. Indeed, in Study 1 in a pencil and paper questionnaire (FEE/QADS, Schienle, 2002) conservatives reported more disgust sensitivity as compared to liberals. Subsequently, in Study 2 (Implicit Approach Avoidance Task; Paladino & Castelli, 2008) and Study 3 (Mouse Tracker; Freeman & Ambady, 2010) automatic reactions toward images that may elicit disgust has been analysed. Overall, results indicated that conservatives (vs. liberals) were slower in response to disgusting (vs. neutral) images because their automatic attention was selectively attracted by negative stimuli. More interestingly, conservatives emerged to be slower in approaching disgusting images and faster in avoiding such stimuli (Study 2); moreover, in the mouse-tracking task (Study 3) they described smaller and straight trajectories with the hand movements. Finally, Study 4 analysed automatic reactions toward faces expressing either positive (i.e., happiness) or negative (i.e., disgust) emotions, with an Emotional Stroop Task (Pratto & John, 1991). Results indicated again that conservatives (vs. liberals) were slower in response to negative (vs. positive) emotions. In conclusion, the present work indicates that conservatives and liberals show different explicit and automatic reactions to disgusting stimuli, with conservatives prioritizing negative information
Reazioni automatiche a stimoli negativi in conservatori e progressistsi: Approccio o evitamento?
No full textConservatori e progressisti sono diversi non solo per opinioni e stili di vita, ma anche per processi cognitivi di base. In particolare, i conservatori presentano un’attenzione automatica selettiva per gli stimoli negativi (Carraro et al., 2011). Il presente contributo si propone di indagare le risposte comportamentali automatiche nei confronti di stimoli positivi/negativi. Nello Studio 1, utilizzando un Implicit Approach Avoidance Task (Paladino & Castelli, 2008), ai partecipanti sono state presentate al centro del monitor immagini positive/negative, alcune senza alterazioni, mentre altre a mosaico. Al partecipante, era chiesto di indicare se le immagini fossero normali oppure a mosaico, senza nessun riferimento esplicito alla valenza, con un movimento di avvicinamento oppure di allontanamento della mano dallo stimolo. I conservatori si sono dimostrati più lenti con le immagini negative vs. positive, sia in approccio che in evitamento, confermando quindi come la loro attenzione automatica sia catturata proprio da tali immagini. Inoltre, i conservatori hanno manifestato una tendenza automatica ad allontanarsi non appena possibile da tali stimoli, essendo più rapidi nell’evitare vs. approcciare stimoli negativi. In seguito, a livello esplorativo, nello Studio 2, le reazioni comportamentali sono state indagate con uno strumento innovativo in grado di rilevare la traiettoria descritta con il mouse nel categorizzare gli stimoli (Mouse Tracker; Freeman & Ambady, 2010). Ai partecipanti sono state presentate le immagini usate nello Studio 1, ed era chiesto loro di categorizzarle sia in base alla valenza che alla modalità con cui erano presentate (due compiti controbilanciati). Nel categorizzarle, dovevano compiere un movimento con il mouse dal centro inferiore del monitor a uno dei due vertici superiori del monitor stesso, descrivendo quindi una curva. Anche in questo caso i risultati hanno mostrato delle modulazioni legate all’ideologia politica del partecipante
