Producer’s e Critic’s Game di Alessandro Blasetti. Riposizionamenti dal regime al secondo dopoguerra
No full textAlessandro Blasetti’s career reaches a turning point in 1942: at the end of the year Quattro passi fra le nuvole is released. The film is retrospectively considered a forerunner of Neorealism. Since then, Blasetti focuses on realistic dramas in humble settings e.g., Nessuno torna indietro (1944), up to the partisan resistance themed Un giorno nella vita (1946). However, from the late 30s to the first half of 1942, Blasetti works mainly on historical films, such as Ettore Fieramosca (1938), Un’avventura di Salvator Rosa (1939), La corona di ferro (1941) and La cena delle beffe (1942). As a result of this productive repositioning, how does Blasetti change his critical posture to reconfigure himself within the field? The paper aims to retrace Blasetti’s works in parallel with his public statements on the press to find fluctuations and shifts. To do so, the author uses the concepts of producer’s game and critic’s game derived from Altman’s genre theory, together with some of Bourdieu’s tools. Blasetti’s repositioning takes place within a context of drastic political and cultural changes, from the first signs of the Second World War to the Postwar period, from the fascist Regime to Neorealism.Il 1942 rappresenta per la carriera di Alessandro Blasetti un anno di svolta: mentre esce nelle sale La cena delle beffe – in continuità con la serie dei film in costume da Ettore Fieramosca (1938), a Un’avventura di Salvator Rosa (1939), fino a La corona di ferro (1941) – è in produzione Quattro passi fra le nuvole, distribuito alla fine dello stesso anno. A partire da quest’ultimo film, considerato a posteriori prodromico del neorealismo, la regia di Blasetti s’indirizza verso temi sociali trattati con un linguaggio più dimesso, per confluire, in definitiva, nel resistenziale Un giorno nella vita (1946). Alla luce di questo riposizionamento produttivo, come cambia la postura critica di Blasetti per riconfigurarsi all’interno del campo? L’elaborato, servendosi dei concetti di producer’s game e di critic’s game propri della teoria sui generi di Altman e mutuando alcune categorie da Bourdieu, ripercorre parallelamente le regie di Alessandro Blasetti e le sue posizioni espresse sulla stampa per rintracciare oscillazioni e spostamenti nel contesto di drastico mutamento politico e culturale tra le prime avvisaglie del conflitto mondiale e il Dopoguerra
HLA-B27 negative ankylosing spondylitis and hidradenitis suppurativa: report of a case.
No full textThe association between hidradenitis suppurativa and joint involvement is well recognized. We describe a 63-year-old man with a severe HLA-B27 negative ankylosing spondylitis associated with hidradenitis suppurativa. We are not aware of any reports of such an association in the literature
Intraocular pressure in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency
No full textPurpose: Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is one of the most common human genetic abnormalities, with a high prevalence in Sardinia, Italy, where the reported rates range from 10% to 15%. Hemizygous males have totally deficient erythrocytes. We are unaware of any previous report investigating intraocular pressure (IOP) in G6PD deficiency. The purpose of this study was to assess IOP in G6PD-deficient and G6PD-normal Sardinian men and ascertain whether there are significant differences between the two groups.
Methods: IOP was measured by applanation tonometry in 104 G6PD-deficient and 104 age-matched G6PD-normal men. The Student t test was used to assess differences in IOP values between the two groups.
Results: Mean IOP was 13.94 ± 2.62 mm Hg in G6PD-deficient men and 14.29 ± 2.84 mm Hg in G6PD-normal men, a not statistically significant result (P = 0.096).
Conclusions: Results suggest that men with G6PD deficiency do not have a higher risk of increased IOP
Metabolically healthy versus metabolically unhealthy obesity
No full textObesity-related disease complications reduce life quality and expectancy and increase health-care costs. Some studies have suggested that obesity not always entails metabolic abnormalities and increased risk of cardiometabolic complications. Because of the lack of universally accepted criteria to identify metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), its prevalence varies widely among studies. Moreover, the prognostic value of MHO is hotly debated, mainly because it likely shifts gradually towards metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). In this review, we outline the differential factors contributing to the metabolic heterogeneity of obesity by discussing the behavioral, genetic, phenotypical, and biological aspects associated with each of the two metabolic phenotypes (MHO and MUO) of obesity and their clinical implications. Particular emphasis will be laid on the role of adipose tissue biology and function, including genetic determinants of body fat distribution, depot-specific fat metabolism, adipose tissue plasticity and, particularly, adipogenesis. Finally, the emerging role of gut microbiota in obesity and adipose tissue dysfunction as well as the search for novel biomarkers for the obesity-related metabolic traits and associated diseases will be briefly presented. A better understanding of the main determinants of a healthy metabolic status in obesity would allow promotion of this favorable condition by targeting the relevant pathways
