    No full text
    In this chapter of the volume “La valorizzazione del patrimonio di prossimità tra fragilità e sviluppo locale”, the author deals with the problem of cultural heritage enhancement as a strategic asset for local sustainable development both from a social and an economic perspective. The chapter may be divided into two parts: in the first, after a review of the different approaches adopted by scholars and international organizations (i.e. Unesco) in defining the concept of cultural heritage, the author points out the most important features of cultural heritage as an economic asset, highlighting how the characteristics of local cultural heritage, i.e. the mix of tangible and intangible resources, may shape social capital and guide the development of the community as a whole. In the second part, the role of territorial marketing policies for local development are explored, focusing on the most important issues for their successful implementation: the role of meta-organizations; and the involvement of local stakeholders amongst which, first of all, the local community

    Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction: Preliminary Reflections on the Translation of a Genre

    No full text
    This paper deals with the rise of a new wave of Chinese science fiction over the last decades, attempting to draw a parallel to Twentieth-Century American science fiction. The author explores the many similarities (as well as some differences) between these two phenomena, relying on both translation studies and genre studies. Drawing on a definition of genre as a “recurring response to recurring situations” (Miller), the author briefly examines historical, social, and literary conditions of the two countries, providing examples of the agents, the works, and the reasons that allow us to describe this process as a form of “inter-generic translation”. This study aims at providing an overview of the present discourse on Chinese science fiction in relation to the American experience, highlighting the potential for further and deeper developments of this kind of analysis

    Another type of “old tales retold”. Translation and self-translation, intertextuality and self-intertextuality in Zhang Ailing’s works

    No full text
    This papers deals with Zhang Ailing’s (1920-1995) posthumous novel, Xiao tuanyuan 小团圆 (Little reunions), written in the 70s of last century but completed just before her death, and finally published only in 2009, which is an example of the continuous manipulation of the same narrative materials used in previous works, and re-presented here through a politics of self-translation and self-intertextuality. In translating this novel one is confronted with a complex “mosaic of quotations” as Kristeva says, and self-quotations, and is dragged into a forest of meanings derived from the juxtaposition of a variety of external “voices” that mix up with the internal voice of the author. This Bachtinian or babelian quality of the novel, in other words its pluri- and interdiscursivity, challenges the translator, who is called not only to reconstruct the original sources of the allusions, but is also caught between the need of disambiguation and the respect of the intertextual connections implied by the text, he/she has also to cope with the deliberate narrative fragmentation adopted by Zhang

    The essay analyzes the implementation of the principle of secularism in the national health system, focusing on three themes: religious assistance services provided in health facilities, the issue of male ritual circumcisions and the conscientious objection for healthcare professionals. The analysis carried out by the author shows that to identify how the health administration must respond to the needs for the protection of freedom of conscience and religion, which emerge in contemporary society, it is necessary to relate the principle of secularism with the other fundamental principles of public services

    Alcune considerazioni sui 'Varia poemata' di Giano Anisio (1531)

    No full text
    Sommario · La silloge dei Varia poemata di Giano Anisio è un’opera di straordinaria complessità, sia per la ricchezza dei temi trattati e dei generi letterari ivi rappresentati, sia per la presenza di un elevato numero di dedicatari, alcuni dei quali non sono facilmente identificabili. L’opera ebbe una genesi editoriale assai turbolenta: durante l’assedio di Napoli del 1528, infatti, l’autore perse il manoscritto originariamente destinato alla stampa e fu costretto ad allestire un nuovo codice in tutta fretta, servendosi degli appunti che aveva a disposizione e facendo per lo più affidamento sulla sua memoria. La raccolta, che appare ancorata ad un rigoroso classicismo militante, si ispira ai due criteri fondamentali della varietas e della citazione allusiva, che risulta talvolta oscura. Meno definito appare, invece, il criterio della consequenzialità cronologica della disposizione dei carmi, un principio che l’autore afferma all’inizio dell’opera, ma che di fatto non appare pienamente applicato all’interno della raccolta. --- Abstract · Some considerations on Giano Anisio’s Varia poemata (1531) · Giano Anisio’s Varia poemata is a work of extraordinary complexity, both for the richness of the topics and the literary genres here represented and for the presence of a large number of dedicatees, some of which are not easily identifiable. The work had a very turbulent editorial genesis: during the siege of Naples in 1528, in fact, the author lost the manuscript originally intended for printing and was forced to prepare a new codex in a hurry, using the notes at his disposal and mainly relying on his memory. The collection, which appears anchored to a rigorous militant classicism, is inspired by the two fundamental criteria of variety and allusive quotation, which is sometimes obscure. The criterion of the chronological consequentiality of the arrangement of the poems, a principle that the author affirms at the beginning of the work, does not appear fully applied within the collection
