Digital health technology enhances resilient behaviour: evidence from the ward
No full textPurpose: In the healthcare management domain, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the role of resilience practices in improving patient safety. The purpose of this paper is to understand the capabilities that enable healthcare resilience and how digital technologies can support these capabilities. Design/methodology/approach: Within- and cross-case research methodology was used to study resilience mechanisms and capabilities in healthcare and to understand how digital health technologies impact healthcare resilience. The authors analyze data from two Italian hospitals through the lens of the operational failure literature and anchor the findings to the theory of dynamic capabilities. Findings: Five different dynamic capabilities emerged as crucial for managing operational failure. Furthermore, in relation to these capabilities, medical, organizational and patient-related knowledge surfaced as major enablers. Finally, the findings allowed the authors to better explain the role of knowledge in healthcare resilience and how digital technologies boost this role. Practical implications: When trying to promote a culture of patient safety, the research suggests healthcare managers should focus on promoting and enhancing resilience capabilities. Furthermore, when evaluating the role of digital technologies, healthcare managers should consider their importance in enabling these dynamic capabilities. Originality/value: Although operations management (OM) research points to resilience as a crucial behavior in the supply chain, this is the first research that investigates the concept of resilience in healthcare systems from an OM perspective, with only a few authors having studied similar concepts, such as “workaround” practices
Preserving Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in and through Translation: From Theory to Practice
No full textOn one hand this paper offers theoretical reflections on the phenomenon of translation in a postcolonial framework, referring mainly to the Anglophone context, and to India in particular. On the other, it forges concrete links between theory and practice. Major issues raised by Postcolonial Translation Studies are discussed, like the concepts of translation as a channel of colonization, as an instrument for maintaining cultural inequalities, even after the collapse of the British Empire, and as a possible, and desirable, means of de-colonization (Robinson 1997).It is argued that, in order to convey linguistic and cultural diversity when translating literary texts from Indian English into Italian, the radical method championed by postcolonial scholars (Niranjana 1992; Spivak 1992) - which can be clearly linked to Venuti's ‘foreignization' (1995) - is not the only solution and that ‘hybridization' (Wolf 2000; Tymoczko 2000) represents a viable choice. Different translation strategies that can be employed to produce a ‘hybrid' text are illustrated through case studies on Indian English literary works translated into Italian by the author of this study (Narayan 1997; Narayan 1998; Chandra 1999; Dhondy 2003). The paper not only proposes that this method is instrumental in safeguarding language, culture and identity in the process of translation; it also posits that, through translation, linguistic and cultural differences can be conveyed to the European world

Imparare a volare: note di campo sulle sospensioni corporee
No full textThis article aims to present an ethnographic experience focused on body suspensions, initiated in 2008 and developed mainly in Italy. The research has used qualitative methodology, with semi-structured interviews and participant observation during Italian festivals known as Suscon, as well as private performances with nonpaying audiences. Body suspension is a performance in which a person is hanged up with ropes or chains hooked into his/her skin and tied to a special structure overhead. The research is focused on the performers' reasons for having such an experience: these include their need for a change, particularly if there is no ritual passage in their own culture that fulfills this desire; they therefore decide to organize their own rites and mould their own human shape. The author proposes applying the theory of auto-poiesis in order to analyze this trend.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
