Comunità polimorfe. Famiglia, sesso, potere e religione in Big Love.
No full textIl saggio analizza la serie televisiva Big Love in relazione al dibattito giuridico e culturale sul matrimonio negli Stati Uniti. Guardando alla componente fondamentalista della chiesa mormone che pratica la poligamia (non riconosciuta dagli ordinamenti giuridici statunitensi) la serie delinea infatti insistiti parallelismi tra la rappresentazione di questa comunità e le battaglie per i diritti civili dei soggetti LGBT e mette in luce la tensione, costitutiva a livello legislativo e culturale negli U.S.A., tra nazione e realtà locale, tra comunità e individuo
Telling Findings. Translating Islamic Archaeology through Corpora
No full textThis study is located at the fruitful intersection of Corpus Linguistics and Translation Studies and brings the theoretical contribution of both fields to the investigation of a corpus of highly specialized texts in the field of Islamic Archaeology. The tools and methodologies elaborated by Corpus Linguistics are applied to the analysis of a complex bilingual corpus (ArIIEL: Archaeology of Islam – Italian-English Lexicon), comprising academic texts in Italian and English. The investigation of this corpus highlights some crucial aspects of translation praxes (such as the identification of multi-word units of meaning) and allows the emergence of significant asymmetries at the level of the specialized lexicon between the two languages. These insights are based on the analytic examination of the two sub-corpora constituting ArIIEL, namely, a parallel corpus of texts originally written in Italian and their translation into English (ParArIIEL) and a comparable corpus of academic texts in English from the same field (CompArIIEL).
This data-driven approach has theoretical outcomes for the study of translation, but also yields results that can lead to very practical applications, such as the gradual building of bilingual tools for professional translators and scholars alike. As an example of this, a corpus-based monodirectional Italian-English glossary of Islamic Archaeology is presented at the end of this volume
“Humanity is overrated”: umani e macchine in House M.D
Full text linkA self-confessed detective fiction under the guise of a medical drama, House MD is among the most interesting recent renderings of the procedural genre in US television. It combines, in fact, the spectacularization of the human body and the intensification of the scientific method championed by CSI with the ticking bomb scenario epitomized by 24 to produce a narrative that ultimately reflects America’s fear of unknown and lethal enemies generated by the 9/11 attacks. Within this framework, this essay investigates how, by staging the use of sophisticated technology and machine-mediated medical tests, the series explores surveillance as a viable and reassuring defense against external threats, only to expose it as limited and delusional. The protagonist himself, on the other hand, with his disabled body and unorthodox, non-deontological approach to diagnostics, embodies a radical interrogation of the state of exception as the nation’s response to trauma and endless danger.Una fiction poliziesca sotto le spoglie di un medical drama, House MD è tra le più interessanti interpretazioni recenti del genere procedurale nella televisione statunitense. Essa combina, infatti, la spettacolarizzazione del corpo umano e l'intensificazione del metodo scientifico promosse da CSI con lo scenario da bomba a orologeria incarnato da 24 per produrre una narrazione che, in ultima analisi, riflette la paura dell'America verso nemici sconosciuti e letali generata dagli attacchi dell'11 settembre. All'interno di questo quadro, questo saggio indaga come, mettendo in scena l'uso di tecnologie sofisticate e test medici mediati da macchine, la serie esplori la sorveglianza come una difesa valida e rassicurante contro le minacce esterne, solo per esporla come fallace e illusoria. Il protagonista stesso, d'altra parte, con il suo corpo segnato dalla disabilità e il suo approccio non ortodosso e non deontologico alla diagnostica, incarna una interrogazione radicale dello stato di eccezione come risposta della nazione al trauma e al pericolo senza fine
