No full textEditors' Preface
No full textAt the core of human thought and expression lies the profound capacity of metaphor – the act of understanding one concept in terms of another. However, over the last decade, in response to the sociopolitical and ecological realities of the ‘Anthropocene’, disciplines like anthropology have also pointed at the limitations of human thought, highlighting its fundamental role in large scale planetary destruction. These critical enquiries into modes of thought beyond the human such as in Eduardo Kohn’s path breaking work with indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon forests, challenged our perceptions about the ‘field’ of thinking and communication as the sole domain of humans
Chinese passive constructions in environmental discourse: A corpus-assisted functional study from an ecolinguistic perspective
No full textThe passive voice has long attracted linguistic interest, yet in Chinese most studies have focused on syntactic or semantic aspects, while discourse-oriented analyses remain scarce. This study adopts a functional-constructionist approach to investigate passive constructions (i.e., bèi-, zāo-, dédào-, huòdé-, shòu- and notional passives) in Chinese environmental discourse, a politically and ideologically sensitive domain. Drawing on the tailor-made Chinese Corpus of Environmental Discourse, covering four genres, and comparing it with the Lancaster Corpus of Mandarin Chinese, the analysis combines quantitative and qualitative methods. Findings reveal that passive constructions perform a wide range of discourse functions, from vulnerabilizing patients, mitigating environmental crisis, to legitimizing institutional actions, presenting ideologically motivated content as factual, and embedding normative or evaluative stances. Overall, they emerge as powerful devices for patient perspectivization, projecting varying degrees and forms of subjectivity in ways that align with collective values of ecological responsibility

Mindscapes: Laura Riding's poetry and poetics /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta tese propõe uma leitura revisionista da poesia contemporânea através do exame do caso de um dos mais esquecidos escritores norte-americanos do século XX: Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). O objetivo é demonstrar que Riding não apenas possuía uma poética definida e singular, mas que ela permanece uma das instâncias mais extremas e paradoxais do modernismo anglo-americano, a ponto de Riding abandonar a escrita da poesia em 1938. Recorrendo a conceitos de "formação do cânone" bem como às noções de "discurso" e "função do autor", em Foucault, investigo a construção do cânone da poesia moderna anglo-americana, recuperando o contexto e as circunstâncias da ocultação de Riding. Enquanto cubro os "discursos" poéticos em circulação na primeira metade do século XX-o "imagismo" de Pound, a "dissociação da sensibilidade", "impersonalidade" e "tradição" de Eliot, a "unidade orgância" e "ambigüidade" da Nova Crítica-ofereço um panorama crítico de modernismos alternativos sendo articulados à época. Minha intenção é demonstrar que os poemas de Riding são expressões vigorosas de um escritor para quem "a mente pensando se torna a força ativa do poema", para usar a apta formulação de Charles Bernstein. Entre minhas descobertas sobre as várias e complexas razões que levaram à não-canonização de Riding estão a hegemonia da Nova Crítica, o exílio voluntário de Riding da cena literária (onde são feitas ou desfeitas as reputações), sua recusa em ser antologiada, bem como em ser explicada em termos críticos que não os dela. Todos esses fatores, mais a "dificuldade" de sua poesia, contribuíram para fazer de Riding "a maior poeta esquecida da poesia norte-americana", como escreveu Kenneth Rexroth. Ajudado pelos insights de dois importantes críticos de poesia norte-americana, Charles Bernstein e Marjorie Perloff, defendo que a "poesia da mente" de Riding-onde o que está em jogo é que o que pensamos ser a nossa realidade-representa uma mudança radical no paradigma da poética modernista: de uma poesia centrada na imagem para uma poesia centrada na linguagem. Focalizando a experiência consciente e o tempo duracional do pensamento presente em seus poemas, concluo que as "pensagens" de Riding têm o objetivo preciso de constatar um fato universal: enquanto seres humanos e pensantes, estamos numa condição permanente chamada linguagem
Creatività nell’industria alimentare: innovazione ed esporta- zioni nel settore dei formaggi nel ’900
No full textIl settore dei beni alimentari è caratterizzato da un elevato livello di competitività e, pertanto, le imprese del food devono continuamente adottare delle strategie innovative per mantenersi competitive sul mercato interno ed esterno. I prodotti caseari italiani sono tra i beni alimentari più esportati nel mondo e le imprese che operano in questo comparto si sono dotate già a partire dagli inizi del Novecento di strumenti competitivi per fronteggiare l’elevata concorrenza, interna ed esterna.
La letteratura ha, ormai da diverso tempo, riconosciuto il valore strategico dei marchi e dei brands, che sono diventati degli asset intangibili fondamentali per tutelare i prodotti e i loro processi produttivi. Da un lato, essi proteggono dall’imitazione e dalla contraffazione, nel caso del prodotto. Dall’altro, essi sono strumenti di garanzia per gli investimenti in innovazione e sviluppo dei processi produttivi.
Nello scorso secolo, Invernizzi, Locatelli e Galbani si sono collocate nei primi posti dell’industria casearia nazionale, specialmente dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. Ciascuna di queste imprese ha utilizzato brands e marchi per sostenere e rinforzare la propria posizione nel mercato nazionale e mondiale. Inoltre, la creatività imprenditoriale si è collegata, ed è un tratto che accomuna tutte queste esperienze, ad un’identità di impresa familiare con un ruolo di figure particolari: quelle dei fondatori. In sintesi, i fattori che hanno caratterizzato il percorso di sviluppo sono stati: l’innovazione di prodotto e di processo, la strategia di branding e, infine, la modernizzazione dei sistemi di conservazione e di packaging dei prodotti

Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism
