Rielaborazioni del mito nel fumetto contemporaneo
No full textIncontri e collisioni, narrazioni trasversali efficaci e pervasive: il mito a fumetti è un campo di indagine di grande interesse e attualità, e da qui nasce l'esigenza di investigarne gli intrecci, le trame sotterranee e le funzioni politiche, sociali e artistiche. Rielaborazioni del mito nel fumetto contemporaneo raccoglie le riflessioni a tal proposito di alcuni degli studiosi che negli anni hanno preso parte alle attività di ricerca del Seminario Intorno al Mito
Volere o potere? Hildesheimer, Joyce e Annalivia Plurabelle
No full texti rapporti tra Hildesheimer e Joyce e l ́ influenza di Finnegans Wake sull ́autore tedescoThis paper deals with an array of diverse and yet interrelated topics, such as the Irish folklore and its musical legacy, James Joyce and his Finnegans Wake, in order to think, through its relevance to Hildesheimer’s understanding of art and literature, how and to what extent these elements affected the author’s poetics. Despite starting from Hildesheimer’s scholarly works, the essay especially focuses on his stylistic choices in translating the Anna Livia Plurabelle section into German, so as to retrospectively appreciate his compelling reasons to embark on such an ambitious venture

Mito e fumetto negli ultimi trent'anni. Una lettura transmediale
No full textIl saggio di Frezza fornisce una descrizione aggionata dei cambiamenti intervenuti nel rapporto fra narrazioni del fumetto e rappresentazioni del mito negli ultimi trent'anni (dal 1978 a oggi), analizzando gli elementi portanti della rielaborazione del mito fra fumetto e cinema (in particolare di quello digitale) e i tratti socio-culturali che caratterizzano lo "spirito del tempo" dei vari decenni
Sub-lethal effects induced by a mixture of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the freshwater bivalve Dreissena polymorpha
No full textNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the sixth top-selling drugs worldwide and are commonly found in freshwater ecosystems in the high ng/l to low mu g/l range. Recent studies have investigated both the acute and the chronic toxicity of single NSAIDs on different biological models, but these studies have completely neglected the fact that, in the environment, non-target organisms are exposed to mixtures of drugs that have unforeseeable toxicological behavior. This work investigated the sub-lethal effects induced by a mixture of three common NSAIDs, namely, diclofenac, ibuprofen and paracetamol, on the freshwater bivalve, the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha). The mussels were exposed to three different environmental concentrations of the mixture (Low, Mid and High). A multi-biomarker approach was used to highlight cyto-genotoxic effects and the imbalance of the oxidative status of the treated specimens. The Neutral Red Retention Assay (NRRA) was used as a biomarker of cytotoxicity, whereas the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase were measured to assess the role played by the oxidative stress enzymes. In addition, the single cell gel electrophoresis assay, the DNA Diffusion assay and the micronucleus test were used to investigate possible genotoxic effects. According to our NRRA results, each treatment was able to induce a significant cellular stress in bivalves, probably due to the raise of oxidative stress, as indicated by the alteration of enzyme activities measured in treated specimens. Moreover, the mixture induced significant enhancements of DNA fragmentation, which preluded fixed genetic damage, as highlighted by the increase of both apoptotic and micronucleated cells

Educational gender gap, inequality and growth: a gender sensitive analysis
No full textAdopting a gender-aware perspective, this paper investigates the controversial relationship of inequality and growth studying the effects of income disparity on the differences between male and female schooling in the presence of liquidity constraints and inefficient financial markets. In cultural contexts where male education is considered more profitable, financial markets’
inefficiency has biased effects on human capital accumulation; given the significant contribution of women’s education to economic prosperity, a theoretical model and a panel data analysis of sixty three countries for six five years periods from 1965 to 1994 show a negative impact of income inequality on economic growth through the disincentives to invest in female schooling. A financial markets’ reform to improve efficiency and increase available liquidity could offer an important
contribution to the closure of the gender educational gap
