Preserving Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in and through Translation: From Theory to Practice
No full textOn one hand this paper offers theoretical reflections on the phenomenon of translation in a postcolonial framework, referring mainly to the Anglophone context, and to India in particular. On the other, it forges concrete links between theory and practice. Major issues raised by Postcolonial Translation Studies are discussed, like the concepts of translation as a channel of colonization, as an instrument for maintaining cultural inequalities, even after the collapse of the British Empire, and as a possible, and desirable, means of de-colonization (Robinson 1997).It is argued that, in order to convey linguistic and cultural diversity when translating literary texts from Indian English into Italian, the radical method championed by postcolonial scholars (Niranjana 1992; Spivak 1992) - which can be clearly linked to Venuti's ‘foreignization' (1995) - is not the only solution and that ‘hybridization' (Wolf 2000; Tymoczko 2000) represents a viable choice. Different translation strategies that can be employed to produce a ‘hybrid' text are illustrated through case studies on Indian English literary works translated into Italian by the author of this study (Narayan 1997; Narayan 1998; Chandra 1999; Dhondy 2003). The paper not only proposes that this method is instrumental in safeguarding language, culture and identity in the process of translation; it also posits that, through translation, linguistic and cultural differences can be conveyed to the European world
Postgenomic histochemistry
No full textIn my editorial covering the year 2001, I drew attention to «the torrency of information pouring out of the multiorganizational genome sequence projects into the field of active biological research». On that occasion I also expressed the opinion that this enormous quantity of data coming from genomics and proteomics had to be elaborated by resorting even to new models of cell activity, as for instance, models based on the role of transcripts. The data from this postgenomic biology have to be compared, however, with the qualitative and quantitative data emerging today from the histochemical literature obtained from a variety of models and from the complexity of integrated morphological, submorphological, enzymo- or immunohistochemical in situ biological approaches which are the mainstays of the important refluorishing of the new histochemistry that our Journal has always supported. The objectives of this science are the molecular foundations of the function of the cell organelles, the coordinations among the different organelle activities in a cell, the rhythm of life of different cell populations and their correlation with different tissutal and extratissutal specialisations in humans, mammals, vertebrates, invertebrates and plants and finally bacteria and viruses during development under normal and pathological conditions (see Manfredi Romanini, 2002)
La sorte dei contratti dei calciatori professionisti nell’emergenza Covid-19
No full textThe essay focuses on the impact generated by the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and by the subsequent numerous regulatory actions. It takles the world of sports and the football players’ contracts in relation to the global pandemic. It analyses all the different Italian Governament decrees enacted in order to regulate sports matters, stressing their effects. The author exam- ines the civil aspects concerning the modi cation or the interruption of ser- vices due under the contract by the player and by the sports society

Nitric oxide and prostacyclin pathways: an integrated mechanism that limits myocardial infarction progression in anesthetized rats
No full textNitric oxide (NO) and cyclooxygenase-derived prostaglandins, such as prostacyclin (PGI2), are involved in vascular homeostasis. To better understand the reciprocal role of both NO and PGI2 on myocardial infarction in the rat, we have investigated the cardioprotective effect of nitro-naproxen, isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), L-arginine, defibrotide and naproxen. In this study, male Wistar rats were treated orally once a day for 5 consecutive days with the compds. under investigation and then, under anesthesia, the animals were subjected to acute myocardial ischemia (30 min) and reperfusion (120 min). Systemic blood pressure, left ventricular pressure and related parameters of cardiac mechanics were recorded. Ventricular arrhythmias and infarct size of the left ventricular wall were also evaluated. Furthermore, cardiac myeloperoxidase (MPO) and plasma creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activities were detd. Defibrotide, nitro-naproxen, ISDN and L-arginine all provided a cardioprotection characterized by significant prevention of arrhythmias with high survival rate of the rats. Infarct size restriction was paralleled by redn. of both cardiac MPO and plasma CK. Cardioprotection of nitro-naproxen, ISDN and L-arginine involve nitrites/nitrates and PGI2-increased in the circulation assocd. to a redn. of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in the blood. Defibrotide displays a cardioprotection by increasing PGI2 release and by reducing TXB2 in the blood. Naproxen was devoid a lower protecting activity on myocardial infarction, and PGI2 inhibition may have played a crit. role in this context. The results suggested that the increase of both NO and PGI2 brings about a cascade of integrated cellular and mol. events which are of paramount importance in prevention of myocardial ischemic insult
Biohaking
No full textThis volume – which reports on the results of the research project EXCEL The Pursuit of Excellence, coordinated by the author at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon – presents ambitions, desires and practices of beautification and human improvement, discussing the dramas associated with the normativity of hegemonic ideals of beauty and perfection in contemporary society. This volume is driven by the hope that in the near future we will be able to make our ideals of beauty more inclusive and inclusive. So that each person can be who they are, in their specificity, occupying the space they want in the world, in freedom
Imparare a volare: note di campo sulle sospensioni corporee
No full textThis article aims to present an ethnographic experience focused on body suspensions, initiated in 2008 and developed mainly in Italy. The research has used qualitative methodology, with semi-structured interviews and participant observation during Italian festivals known as Suscon, as well as private performances with nonpaying audiences. Body suspension is a performance in which a person is hanged up with ropes or chains hooked into his/her skin and tied to a special structure overhead. The research is focused on the performers' reasons for having such an experience: these include their need for a change, particularly if there is no ritual passage in their own culture that fulfills this desire; they therefore decide to organize their own rites and mould their own human shape. The author proposes applying the theory of auto-poiesis in order to analyze this trend.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
