Cantor Type Attractors in Stochastic Growth Models.
No full textWe study a one-sector stochastic optimal growth model where production is affected by a shock taking one of two values. Such exogenous shock may enter multiplicatively or additively. A result is presented which provides sufficient conditions to ensure that the attractor of the iterated function system (IFS) representing the optimal policy, is a generalized topological Cantor set. To indicate the role of the strict monotonicity condition on the IFS in this result, examples of attractors, which are not of the Cantor type, are constructed with iterated function systems, whose maps are contractions and satisfy a no overlap property.

Le colpe della cultura pagana: riflessioni sull'Epistola 69b di Giuliano
No full textThe article is a reflection starting from the epistle 89b of the emperor Julian, which is presented as an illuminating document for the reconstruction of the values of the Hellenic civilisation, based on a precise paideutic-religious programme, which takes the form of a kind of canon of praiseworthy and/or inadvisable author
La donna, il diritto e il patrimonio nella testimonianza libaniana
No full textIn this study about the role of Antiochian imperial women I aim at investigating the interrelationship between law and society and at analysing the way social changes lead to birth of new laws, in the period marked by a gradual replacement inside the Mediterranean world. Leafing through the numerous pages dedicated to Antiochene society in the 4th century by an author such as Libanius, who has always set himself up as a strenuous defender of the Hellenic tradition and champion of the ancient civic ideal, and who was influenced less than anyone else by the attraction of the new ideas of Christianity, a pattern emerges thanks to which we can understand the degree of consideration to which women being was held in Late Antiquity, coinciding with a new morality of the couple, which tended to make marriage a conjugal community
JULIEN : LES ANNÉES PARISIENNES
No full textThis article intends to scrutinize in what ways Julian’s stay in Gaul as a Caesar were decisive in Julian’s political
and military education, and whether a specific ruling style and manner may be detected in the Parisian years of
Julian’s government. Relying on a critical analysis of the documentation (Julian himself, Mamertinus, Ammianus,
Libanios), the author examines the military and civilian aspects of Julian’s training as an apparently inexperienced
ruler but quick learner. She carries out a prosopographical study of the Caesar’s circle and the administrative staff
which was then on duty, combining friendly and hostile persons. Gaul offered him a training ground and he became
even the experimenter of Paris as a capital. An attempt is made at reconstructing Julian’s vision of and attitude
towards barbarians, Celts and Romans, and how he perceived Gaul and Paris (taking in account what was Paris
like in his days in the light of recent archaeological research). The Parisian years are a valuable test for checking
Julian’s adaptability – and its limits –to life in a non hellenic worl
Presupposti culturali nella formulazione delle domande di medici ginecologi a pazienti migranti
No full textThe paper presents analyses conducted on a corpus of (audio) recorded and fullytranscribed doctor-patient interactions with native and non native patients, carriedon in a outward department of Obstetrics and Gynechology in a public hospital inItaly. The focus is on the doctors’ strategies employed to elicit information fromthe patients with particular regards to the patient’s job status and the likelihood thatshe continues to work during pregnancy. Applying CA principles to the analysis ofboth the sequential structure and the design of the question, the author highlightshow the activity of questioning about the patient’s job includes larger sequenceswith non native patients as compared to native patients, in which not only thepatient’s physical conditions but also her juridical status is questioned. The paperfinally discusses the implications of the analyses on the doctors’ training on onehand, and on the social representation of the migrant identity on the other.The paper presents analyses conducted on a corpus of doctor-patient interactions that was carried on in a outward department of Obstetrics and Gynechology in a public hospital in Italy. The corpus includes medical visits with both native and non native patients, (audio) recorded and fully transcribed according to the jeffersonian conventions (Sacks, Schegloff & Jefferson, 1974). We focus on the doctors’ strategies employed to elicit information from the patients with particolar regards to the patient’s job status and the likelihood that she continues to work during pregnancy. Applying Conversation Analytic principles to the analysis of both the sequential structure and the design of the question, the authors highlights how the activity of questioning about the patient’s job includes larger sequences with non native patients as compared to native patients, in which not only the patient’s physical conditions but also her juridical status is questioned.

Between Conformity and Resistance: Essays on Politics, Culture, and the State by Marilena Chauí (Review)
No full textSelections of the work authored by the renowned Brazilian philosopher Marilena Chauí are the material found in this volume. The book is part of a Palgrave Macmillan series that proposes to divulge the work of scholars from different parts of the word, assembled by interest, relevance, and the degree to which they are representative of the overall academic production of the scholars in question. Marilena Chauí is one of Brazil\u27s most highly regarded Brazilian thinkers of modern times and the selection presented in this volume is both historically relevant and representative of the author\u27s work. Under the theme Between Conformity and Resistance: Essays on Politics, Culture and the State, the organizers combined a number of Chauí\u27s texts, not organized chronologically, but by how they relate to the overarching theme. The volume is also timely—given Brazil\u27s prominence in the continent—and a good title not only for those interested in critical theory and political philosophy, but also for Brazilianists, or those more generally interested in Brazil\u27s development over the past decades
Chi osserva chi: interpretazioni dei partecipanti sull’identità del ricercatore in un ambulatorio ginecologico di gravidanza
No full textIl lavoro si fonda su un progetto cui l’autrice ha collaborato con Franca Orletti negli anni 2009-2010 riguardante l’interazione medico-paziente in un ambulatorio ginecologico di gravidanza di un ospedale pubblico (cf. Orletti, Fatigante 2013).
Dal corpus complessivo di 40 interazioni (audio e /o videoregistrate e trascritte), raccolte nel corso di tale progetto, il contributo esamina un repertorio specifico di estratti, nei quali i partecipanti (medico, paziente, infermiera ed accompagnatore/i eventualmente presenti) interpretano l’identità del ricercatore, talvolta presente in stanza, e commentano la presenza dei suoi strumenti di registrazione.
Le analisi si inscrivono nella prospettiva teorico- metodologica dell’Analisi della Conversazione (Sacks, Schegloff e Jefferson 1974; Schegloff 2007; Orletti 1994), particolarmente applicata all’analisi del parlato istituzionale (Drew & Heritage 1992; Orletti 2000) nell’intento di mostrare, all’interno della struttura sequenziale dell’evento, i procedimenti e le categorie che i partecipanti stessi rendono rilevanti per attribuire senso alle azioni del ricercatore costruendo, corrispondentemente, rappresentazioni valorizzate anche della propria identità e agency personale.The paper grounds on a research project, done in collaboration between the author and Franca Orletti in 2009-2010, on doctor-patient interactions unfolding during gynecological consultations with pregnant patients in a public hospital (cf. Orletti, Fatigante 2013).
From the overall corpus of 40 (audio and /or videorecorded and transcribed) interactions, the paper focuses on a specific collection of instances, in which the participants (the doctor, the patient, the nurse and, where present, the accompanying person) makes interpretations about the researcher’s identity, sometimes present in the room, and they comment upon her recording instruments.
Analyses rely on the theoretical and methodological perspective of Conversation Analysis (Sacks, Schegloff e Jefferson 1974; Schegloff 2007; Orletti 1994), particularly applied to the analysis of institutional interaction (Drew & Heritage 1992; Orletti 2000) in order to show, within the sequential structure of the event, the interpretive procedures and categories, which participants themselves make relevant to make sense of the researcher’s actions, while reflexively projecting, at the same time, representations of self-identity and personal agency
