    Per un buon uso dell'idea di dignità umana nell'argomentazione bioetica

    No full text
    The author presents the debate concerning the value and usefulness of the notion of “dignity” in ethics as well as the position of Demetrio Neri on the issue. In dialogue with him, the author presents the conception of “dignity” as a notion capable of overcoming the abstract character of both conservative and liberal contemporary ethical theories. Dignity is also adequate in clinical ethics since it can be applied to safeguard a single patient in a specifc situation

    Le kleksografie poetiche di Corrado Govoni

    No full text
    L’articolo si occupa di un gruppo di poesie che Corrado Govoni pubblicò tra il 1914 e il 1915 su varie riviste (tra cui «La Riviera Ligure», «La Voce», «Lacerba»), presentandole sotto la titolazione collettiva di "Kleksografie", poi non conservata quando parte di queste poesie confluì nella raccolta poetica "L’inaugurazione della primavera" (1915). La lettura proposta, partendo da una contestualizzazione cronologica e culturale di queste poesie, cerca di ricostruire le ragioni espressive dell’analogia istituita da Govoni tra scrittura poetica e disegno kleksografico, curioso esempio di dialogo tra forme letterarie e categorie della rappresentazione visiva, del quale si trova traccia anche in altri testi della produzione coeva del poeta ferrarese.The article deals with a group of poems that Corrado Govoni published on various literary magazines («La Riviera Ligure», «La Voce», «Lacerba», «Myricae») between 1914 and 1915, under the collective title of Kleksografie; the poems were then included in the book L’inaugurazione della primavera (1915), where the title Kleksografie doesn’t appear. The essay tries to determine the meaning of the analogy drawn by the author between poetic writing and klecksography (the art of making images from inkblots, that has also been used by psychiatrists and psychoanalysts like Hermann Rorschach as a tool to study the subconscious); it also illustrates the connections between these poems and Govoni’s contemporary production, influenced both by Futurism and Crepuscularism

    Dream sources, associative mechanisms, and temporal dimension.

    No full text
    Using the technique of free association in an experimental setting, this author and colleagues previously found differences in the quality of memory traces involved in the production of REM and sleep onset (SO) dreams. The present study aims to answer two questions raised by those results: (a) Must the associative session be temporally contiguous to the dream production to gain access to the sources of the dream? (b) Are the differences between SO and REM associations due only to differences in structure and content of the two types of dream reports? Free associations with the same dream collected immediately after an experimental awakening were compared with those recalled 2 months later. A first group of results supports the hypothesis that free associations are sensitive to the proximity to the amount of dream production. A second group shows that the differences between SO and REM dreams noted in the previous research are not attributable to differences in formal characteristics of the report

    Land and Labour Contestation in Manica, Mozambique: Historical Issues in Contemporary Dynamics

    No full text
    This chapter discusses issues of land access and rural development within the context of the policies pursued in the province of Manica, Mozambique, under the colonial and independent governments. It focuses on the relationship between land access and rural development on the one hand, and the distinctive element that characterised much of the discussion on Mozambique in the past, labour, on the other. Drawing on a number of research works centred on this area, and on the author research experience from the late 1990s to mid–2000s, this chapter explores how far the developments of the last two decades fit in with the history of a country in which labour has always been considered more important than land in shaping local politics and power relations in the country. Certainly, the current context has increased the visibility of issues related to land access and distribution, but these were not missing in previous historical periods; indeed, we need to understand them as part of a history of interdependence between land, labour and rural development. During the colonial period, one crucial factor was the command that the colonial state tried to exercise over surplus African labour through co–opting African authorities and limiting peasant mobility within the context of the forced–labour system. This last feature shaped local power relations and hindered the full development of African progressive farming. The early years of independence showed ambitious plans to reverse previous imbalances and exploitations, but also showed some points of continuity with the political practices of the colonial administration at a local level. After the war period, when Mozambique started to address this difficult heritage, it also hosted new investments from abroad, and new development programmes and policy reforms on land and natural resources were launched. In this context, the overall fertile province of Manica has again been the theatre of debate as to land contestation and about development options centring on the promotion of African progressive farmers. However, notwithstanding the fashionable arguments about land grabbing, it appears that, as in the past, land access per sè is not such a problem. Rather, in the light of the author specific research experience in a territory bordering on Zimbabwe, it is questioned to what extent local power bargaining on the control of the labour, mobility and settlement of African peasants may still be affecting, today as in the past, rural development prospects centered on the bolstering of medium and small–scale ‘advanced’ African farmers. Building on the few recent studies on the structure of the labour market in Manica and Mozambique, by throwing light on labour and power contestation from a historical perspective, may be a way forward
