Primary school children’s drawings of Europe: A study on italian children”. Abstracts of the XXIX International Congress of Psychology
No full textThe study is part of a wider research ( Amann Gainotti , 2006 ; Amann Gainotti, Pallini , 2006,2007) that aimed at gaining knowledge about European children’s spontaneous ideas and representations of Europe before being taught about Europe in schools . 150 Italian children from first to fifth grade of primary school were asked , after a short interview, to make a drawing of Europe. Results show that children’s graphic representations of Europe follow precise developmental patterns, that outline their very first spatial and geographical notions and give an idea about how “cognitive maps” of a complex entity as Europe are constructed during childhood

Peter H. Amann Collection 1909-2009
No full textThis collection contains the personal and professional papers of Peter Amann, mostly correspondence but also including family papers, personal and professional writings, publicity materials relating to Peter Amann’s wife, and other personal documents. These materials reflect his role as a professor, author and prominent American historian as well as providing information about the rest of his family, including his father Paul Amann.Although most of these files date from his adult life, when he worked as a professor of history at various American universities, many files, including all of Series I, appear to have been inherited from his mother Dora Amann (née Iranyi) during the 1980s. These files include Dora Amann’s family papers and document the lives of the Iranyi/Israel family at the period before the Anschluss, during wartime, when Dora and Paul Amann lived in Paris, and conditions of Jewish individuals and families in Vienna under the Nazi regime.Other materials inherited from Dora Amann consist of some of Paul Amann’s correspondence, which contains a limited amount of post-war correspondence with prominent literary figures like Christopher Isherwood, Albert Camus, and the estate of Romain Rolland, and correspondence between Ernst Amann and his parents Dora and Paul. Included with the Paul Amann materials is an unpublished memoir, written in English, pertaining to his time as an Austrian soldier during World War I.The earlier family correspondence is almost entirely comprised of letters exchanged between Peter Amann and his parents. Starting in the mid 1950s, other figures begin to appear in the family correspondence, including Peter’s half-brother Wilhelm (Willi), who settled in Scotland, and Peter’s sister Eva. After the death of Paul Amann in 1959, the family correspondence contains an increasing amount of letters to and from Dora Amann.The professional correspondence starts during Peter Amann’s graduate studies at the University of Chicago in the 1950s. This series consists of correspondence and application materials for scholarships and fellowships, such as the Fulbright Peter Amann received in 1963, letters exchanged with colleagues and with collaborators on various research and book projects, letters seeking job placement, and letters with scholarly and academic publishers, relating both to proposed and to actual book and research projects. A substantial amount of official correspondence with the administrations of the various universities for which Amann worked, especially the University of Michigan, is also present. Additional materials in this series include diplomas and awards dating from Amann’s high school years in the 1940s through the 1970s, and various writings both academic and fictional, publications, and translations. Many of these writings included in the collection have never been published. A final subseries of professional correspondence pertains to his wife Enne Amann’s career as a folk singer, for which Peter Amann acted as manager during the mid 1960s through the early 1970s.The final series, personal correspondence, comprises letters and cards exchanged with friends and neighbors, as well as many materials pertaining to personal accommodations, such as lodging and transportation, while abroad for research purposes. The line between personal and professional correspondence is often blurry in the case of letters exchanged with professional colleagues, and therefore many correspondents appear in both the personal and professional series. The original order of the files with regards to dividing personal and professional correspondence was largely kept intact to avoid any destruction of contextual evidence. A variety of other types of correspondence, including letters to newspaper Op-Ed pages and letters to Congressional representatives expressing personal political views, were also included in this series, even if they refer to Peter Amann’s professional credentials.Peter Amann was born in 1927 in the Penzig district of Vienna, Austria. In 1939 Peter Amann fled with his family to France, and eventually reached New York via Portugal in 1941. After a few itinerant years following their arrival in the United States, Peter Amann graduated high school in Ohio and then continued his education at Oberlin College. In 1947 he completed his studies at Oberlin College and married Enne Niemi in Kentucky.For the next half decade Amann worked various jobs and wrote fiction in New York City and Milwaukee, before settling in Chicago in 1952 to work on a Ph.D. in History at the University of Chicago. Soon afterwards his first child Paula was born, and two other children, Sandra and David, were born within the following 7 years. Aside from an initial stint at Bowdoin College in Maine (1956-1959) and a few years on the faculty of the State University of New York Binghamton (1965-1968), Amann spent his entire professional career at various campuses of the University of Michigan. From 1971-2004 he was a Professor Emeritus of History at the Ann Arbor campus.Peter Amann is arguably most noted for his major work Revolution and Mass Democracy: The Paris Club Movement in 1848, but he also authored several other well-regarded scholarly books and articles on a variety of topics covering both European and American history. He has been awarded a Fulbright fellowship (1963-1964), a Guggenheim fellowship (1963-1964), and National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship (1982); for all of these awards he traveled to France for research.Dora Amann, née Israel, was born in 1894 in Vienna. Along with her immediate family, she converted to Protestantism and changed her name to Iranyi; her extended family kept the name Israel. She received a musical education in Vienna, Uppsala (Sweden), and Norway, and sang professionally. She married Paul Amann, a translator, with whom she had two children, Peter and Eva (later Eva Irrera). In 1939 she emigrated to France and then in 1941 to the United States. After Paul Amann’s death, she spent much of her life in New Paltz, New York, and died in 1993 near Washington, D.C.For a detailed biography of Peter Amann’s father, Paul Amann, please see the Peter Amann Collection, AR 3305.digitize

Internal body image in patients with eating disorders
No full textAccording to DSM-IV, in the eating disorders there is a disturbed perception of body image and a non-acceptance of one's physical characteristics (Thomson et al, 1995, Lunnar et al, 2000, van den Berg et al, 2002). The attempt to force the body into stereotypical cultural images is an important strategy to maintain one's self-esteem. This may produce a violent and partial use of the body, so that physiological processes become object 01 exercise of one's self-control and self- discipline, with the need to control the functions digestion and evacuation, and to expel through vomiting and evacuation. Another biological dimension is amenorrhea, related to the refusal of genitality. Previous researches by Amann Gainotti (Amann , 1988, 2001; 2002; Amann Gainotti, et al, 1992; 1993, 2004a, 2004b, 2004c) about inside-of-the-body drawings evidenced a developmental sequence in the spontaneous anatomical notions and a tendency in young adults to produce 'metaforic/simbolic' drawings. The purpose of the present research was to examine, in a comparative perspective, the structure, the contents and the qualitative aspects of the drawings of the inside 01 the body of subjects with eating disorders. The constant worry about physical appearance, and pathological use of the body. could al so determine a distorted representation of one's biologicaI functions. organs and biological systems involved. Subjects 01 the study were a group of 40 anorexic and bulimic women, aged 16 to 38 years, outpatients patients in a specialized structure in Rome. Results. The drawings 01 the inside of the body of the subjects show peculiar features related to their anatomical and physiological worries
Norbert and Leona Amann
No full textPhillip Amann was born on August 20, 1889 in Karlsone in southern Russia. He was one of nine children born to Phillip and Kathryn (Hapfauf) Amann, whose ancestors had migrated to the area from Germany three generations earlier. Phillip Amann was raised as an orphan from the age of thirteen on when his father passed away, his mother passed earlier on. His education was limited because he was raised by his uncles whom he lived with and worked on their farms. Phillip could read and write in German and spoke three other languages, Russian, Polish, and Bohemian, later learning English once he migrated to the USA. When Phillip was twenty-one he was drafted into the Russian army, serving two and a half years. Part of his tour of duty was spent in guarding military and political prisoners near the Siberian and Manchuria border.
In 1914 Phillip and his youngest brother Nickolas tried to board a ship at Bremen, Germany bound for Quebec, but Nickolas was refused entry because of an eye disease. Phillip then left on his own and migrated to an area near Weyburn, Saskatchewan where his sister (Justina) and brother in-law (Nick Geiger) lived. After working on farms and ranches for two years he decided to migrate to the United States to Jamestown, ND where his brother Sebastian worked as an engineer on the Northern Pacific Railroad. After working at odd jobs in the Jamestown area, he became dissatisfied and thought that if he knew the language better he could improve his position and situation so he went to the Assumption Abbey at Richardton where he spent the winter learning the English language.
During Phillip?s stay at the Richardton Abbey, he met Julia Thomas, daughter of Jacob and Genevieve Thomas and they married on February 20, 1917.
Julia Thomas (Amann) was one of seven children born to Jacob and Genevieve Thomas. Growing up she attended Richardton parochial schools and was active in the community and church related activities including the St. Mary?s church Choir. After marrying Phillip, they moved to the Welstein farm nine miles north of Richardton, where they rented a crop share basis for 25 years and where all seven of their children were born. In 1943 they purchased a farm 12 miles north west of Richardton where they lived until Phillip died, May 20, 1956 at the age of 66. After the death of her husband, Julia Amann moved to an apartment over the farmers State Bank of Richardton where she lived until she died in May of 1975.Contents are photographs of Philip Amann of Karlsruhe Colony, Beresan district, including a wedding portrait with his wife Julia Thomas of the Kutschurgan district
Disturbi dell'alimentazione e vissuto corporeo
No full textL’immagine corporea, com’è noto (Schilder, 1935; Schonfeld, 1963; Jodelet, 1963), è un concetto estremamente complesso, esito di un’interazione dinamica fra il nostro aspetto esteriore e tutti quei processi emotivi e cognitivi di percezione, valutazione, memorie e relazioni, connessi all’esperienza corporea, prima fra tutti, l’esperienza di contatto con i propri genitori nei primi anni di vita e l’esperienza di rispecchiamento legata alle prime relazioni interpersonali. Le esperienze successive andranno a collocarsi e a integrare l’immagine originaria, frutto anche delle esperienze fisiologiche, legate all’alimentazione, all’evacuazione e a tutti i processi organici. Ove vi sia una particolare preoccupazione corporea, nelle nostre immagini mentali, il correlato anatomico e il processo fisiologico coinvolto saranno comunque posti al centro dell’attenzione. In base alle considerazioni di cui sopra abbiamo ipotizzato che l’attenzione selettiva su determinate zone e funzioni anatomiche che si verifica nei disturbi dell’alimentazione potrebbe tradursi in rappresentazioni alterate delle proprie funzioni biologiche e degli apparati a esse deputate. Per verificare tale ipotesi ci siamo avvalsi dei numerosi studi da noi condotti sul disegno dell’interno del corpo (Amann Gainotti, 1988; Nenci, Di Prospero, Amann Gainotti, 1989; Amann Gainotti, et al. 1993, 1999; Amann Gainotti, Carpentieri, 2003) in età evolutiva, con bambini e adolescenti dai 5 ai 18 anni, e con campioni di popolazioni adulte, normali e patologiche. I primi risultati conseguiti mostrano che nei soggetti anoressici e bulimici, il vissuto corporeo problematico e la focalizzazione su determinate funzioni fisiologiche si riflette nel disegno dell'interno del corpo, con un’attenzione privilegiata sulle aree anatomiche connesse ai vissuti problematici
