Desessualizzazione drammaturgica. Sociologia della visita ginecologica
No full textNel saggio che viene tradotto per la prima volta in italiano in questo volume, Henslin e Biggs mostrano come le visite ginecologiche siano orchestrate in modo drammaturgico attraverso una serie di tecniche per permettere la depersonalizzazione e la desessualizzazione delle pazienti , al fine di neutralizzare ogni potenziale erotizzazione delle condotte e per creare forme di distanziamento tra chi mostra il proprio corpo e chi lo osserva o esamina

Disabili, sì, ma “normali”. Abilismo interiorizzato e riproduzione della norma (etero)sessuale
No full textThe main aim of the article based on an exploratory research consists precisely in analyzing the processes of normative gender construction in disabled embodiment interpreted through the heterosexual matrix and sexual binarism lenses, processes that intersect with the dimension of disability providing the consolidation of an uncritical construction of disabled bodies subjected to overall processes of normalization. The conclusions and discussions focus on the further depoliticization of those complicit disabled identities who don’t challenge ableism and heterosexism

A case of hypocalcemia-related epilepsia partialis continua.
No full textAbstractEpilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a syndrome clinically defined as continuous spontaneous jerking confined to one part of the body, sometimes aggravated by action or sensory stimuli, occurring over hours, days or even years. In adults the more frequent recognized cause of EPC is an acute cerebrovascular disease. Acute severe hypocalcemia is a highly epileptogenic ionic disturbance, abnormally increasing neuronal excitability. In this short communication we describe the first probable case of acute hypocalcemia-related EPC. Eight months after a left parietal lobe cardioembolic stroke, a 74-year-old woman experienced a generalized tonic-clonic seizure for the first time in her life, at the beginning of a Clostridium difficile enterocolitis. Four days later, while the abdominal symptoms were clinically improving, continuous semi-rhythmic jerks of right face, shoulder and arm began suddenly. Despite several appropriated antiepileptic treatments those involuntary movements did not cease. On routine biochemical examination we noted a total calcium serum level of 1.2mmol/L (normal range 2.1–2.8mmol/L), not previously known. After intravenous calcium gluconate supplementation, the jerks started to fade, disappearing completely as a total calcium serum level of 1.9mmol/L was reached. Two separated CT brain scans did not reveal new cerebral lesions. Neurophysiological studies did not show any cortical activity related to jerks. Taken together, the treatment refractoriness and the clinical improvement after ionic imbalance correction point towards a highly possible role of hypocalcemia in sustaining the activity of a previously silent epileptogenic focus
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Devianze sessuali
No full textLa sessualità è una delle dimensioni umane che hanno ricevuto maggiori forme di controllo, regolamentazione e normalizzazione. In particolare, essa è divenuta argomento di studio tramite approcci essenzialisti riconducibili al concetto di scientia sexualis, che proponeva una sessualità monolitica, ancorata ai concetti di giusto e sbagliato, morale e immorale, normale e anormale. dipendentemente dalle culture e organizzazioni di riferimento. Ancora oggi, nonostante le riflessioni in chiave simbolico-interazionista offerta da autori quali Garfinkel, Goffman e Simon e Gagnon, la sessualità appare regolamentata dal discorso medico e legata a doppio nodo dalla dimensione morale.
Anche le discipline sociologiche e criminologiche non sono state esenti dagli influssi delle concezioni moralistiche della sessualità sviluppate in epoca tardovittoriana, e con difficoltà hanno
rinunciato all’impalcatura bio-psico-medica per considerare l’atto sessuale come un fenomeno umano ancorato a precisi significati simbolici, condivisi, rielaborati e adattati costantemente
all’interno delle interazioni umane e luenzati e capaci di esercitare ancora un forte e decisivo controllo in ogni aspetto della sessualità dell’individuo.Sexuality is one of the human dimensions that have received major forms of control, regulation and normalization. In particular, it has become a subject of study through essentialist approaches that can be traced back to the concept of scientia sexualis, which proposed a monolithic sexuality, anchored to the concepts of right and wrong, moral and immoral, normal and abnormal. depending on the reference cultures and organizations. Even today, despite the symbolic-interactionist reflections offered by authors such as Garfinkel, Goffman and Simon and Gagnon, sexuality appears to be regulated by the medical discourse and tied to a double knot by the moral dimension.
Even the sociological and criminological disciplines have not been exempt from the influences of the moralistic conceptions of sexuality developed in the late Victorian era, and with difficulty they have
renounced the bio-psycho-medical framework to consider the sexual act as a human phenomenon anchored to precise symbolic meanings, shared, reworked and constantly adapted
within human and luenzati interactions and capable of still exercising a strong and decisive control in every aspect of the individual's sexuality
