A Imagem alimentar e o advento do menor na literatura infantil: estranhamentos de Gianni Rodari
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011Elaborou-se esta tese a partir da pesquisa sobre a presença da imagem do alimento em alguns contos clássicos da tradição oral e em (re)leituras literárias para crianças. Tomam-se aqui o alimento e o ato de comer em uma dimensão estética, levando em consideração o duplo código que se articula nos livros infantis: o texto e a ilustração. O trabalho visa, em uma distribuição rizomática, potencializar a literatura infantil em sala de aula a partir do aparato teórico-metodológico oferecido pelo escritor italiano Gianni Rodari em sua Gramática da Fantasia (1982). Alimento, imaginação, fantasia, estranhamento e relações com o menor articulam-se como conceitos que favorecem a formação de um leitor híbrido ou, nos termos da pesquisa, um leitor menor. Por meio de estratégias interdisciplinares, discute-se a comensalidade e suas mudanças histórico-sociais - da escassez do alimento ao comer em excesso -, e tais estratégias resultam em uma metafórica alimentar que pensa o alimento na literatura e a literatura como alimento. Neste sentido, chega-se a um encontro produtivo entre as narrativas e o leitor, tendo, por um lado, o livro atrativo e/ou nutritivo, e, por outro, um percurso da fome ou do desejo de comer, da devoração cultural, de uma educação alimentar.This thesis was elaborated from the research on the presence of food images in classical tales of oral tradition and in literary (re)readings for children. Here, food and eating are viewed on an aesthetic dimension, taking in consideration the double code articulated on children?s books: text and illustration. The purpose of this paper is to optimize, on a rhizomatic distribution, the use of children?s literature in the classroom, based on the theoretical-methodological apparatus offered by the Italian writer Gianni Rodari in his book The Grammar of Fantasy (1982). Food, imagination, fantasy, estrangement and relationships with the minor are articulated as concepts that promote the development of a hybrid reader or, in the terms of the research, a minor reader. Through interdisciplinary strategies, commensality and its social-historic changes are discussed - from scarcity of food to excessive eating - and such strategies result on a metaphor that analyzes food in literature and literature as food. In this sense, a productive encounter between narratives and reader is reached, having the attractive or nutritious book on the one hand and, on the other hand, a trajectory of food or the desire to eat, of cultural devouring, of nutritional education

No full textTonight the Courtyard Doesn’t Sleep is a unique case in the Mass Theatre, both because the actors are children, and because it joins historical topics and fantastical stories. The script written by Gianni Rodari and Marcello Sartarelli is staged in Carlo Felice Theatre in Genova on 17th February 1951. The story which revolves around a courtyard and the children that enliven it, develops from 1943 to the second postwar period. In Tonight the Courtyard Doesn’t Sleep the real dimension and the fantastic one live together. The latter is analyzed in relation to a fable utopia that, even if in minority, is no extraneous to the realism of the 50s.Tonight the Courtyard Doesn’t Sleep is a unique case in the Mass Theatre, both because the actors are children, and because it joins historical topics and fantastical stories.

Gli Struzzi 14
No full textI have learned a little in my attempt at last to catalogue this book found years ago. Rodari was perhaps the most beloved and accomplished Italain children's book author of the twentieth century. I found a review of this book in Italian and will attach a very rough Google translation. Apparently the fables are fanciful, engaging and tend toward healing and unification. I wish I could say more! My Italian is only good enough to bargain for books like this in the flea market! This seems to be the 24th printing in 1993.Language note: ItalianGianni Rodar
Physiopathology and clinical management of blackwater fever: a scoping review
No full textBackground: Blackwater fever (BWF) is a severe syndrome occurring in patients with malaria upon antimalarial treatment, characterized by massive intravascular haemolysis and haemoglobinuria. BWF is a neglected condition and management recommendations are unavailable.Objectives: We performed a scoping review to appraise available data on clinical picture, treatment and physiopathology of BWF, which could guide rationally its clinical management.Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, and the reference list of relevant publications, were searched. Papers reporting original data on BWF cases or investigating the physiopathology of BWF were eligible. Data regarding case characteristics, trigger event, clinical man-agement and outcome were extracted. For papers investigating the physiopathology of BWF, study design and principal findings were extracted. No quality assessment was performed. Data are presented as numbers and percentages, and summary of findings, grouped by paper focus (clinical description or physiopathology).Results: 101 papers were included. The majority of BWF cases were observed in autochthonous children (75.7%) and adults (15.3%), in contrast with historical perception that BWF patients were typically ex-patriates. Clinical management was described for 794 cases; corticosteroids were used in 23. Outcome was reported for 535 patients, with 18.1% mortality. The trigger was reported for 552 (47.5%) cases; in 70.4% identified as quinine. However, two RCT comparing artesunate and quinine for falciparum malaria treatment did not find significant difference in BWF occurrence after their administration. Two case -control studies did not find significant difference in G6PDH deficiency between malaria patients with and without BWF.Conclusions: The physiopathology and optimal treatment of BWF remain similarly unknown as they were over a century ago. Empirical supporting treatment approach seems reasonable, while change of antimalarial drug and use of corticosteroids remain object of debate.

ALBI grade for outcome prediction in patients affected by hepatocellular carcinoma treated with transarterial radioembolization
No full textIntroduction and aimDiagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often occurs when the disease is unresectable and therapeutic options are limited. The extent of disease and liver function according to Child-Pugh (C-P) classification are the main prognostic factors guiding clinicians in the management of HCC. The integration of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade is emerging to assess liver function on account of its objectivity and reproducibility. Our aim was to investigate the value of the ALBI grade in predicting the outcome in patients treated with transarterial radioembolization (TARE).MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled patients with advanced and unresectable HCC treated with TARE in our institution. All patients underwent a preliminary dosimetric study before Yttrium-90 resin microsphere TARE. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC), C-P, and ALBI scores were established at the time of TARE. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and survival after TARE were assessed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Survival analyses were stratified according to ALBI grade, C-P, and BCLC classification. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional regression models determined the association between prognostic factors and clinical outcomes.ResultsIn total, 72 patients were included in the study, showing an OS of 51 months. The ALBI grade identified groups of patients with different prognoses both in the whole cohort and within the C-P classes, especially between ALBI 1 and ALBI 2. This result is confirmed also within BCLC classes. In treatment naïve patients, the ALBI grade was not able to predict outcomes, whereas the presence and degree of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) significantly affected prognosis.ConclusionsThe ALBI grade provided a more accurate prognostic stratification than the C-P classification in patients with intermediate and advanced HCC treated with TARE. However, the outcome of HCC is affected not only by liver function but also by disease-related characteristics, such as disease burden and degree of PVT. Including the ALBI grade in clinical guidelines may improve the management of patients affected by HCC.</jats:sec
Neorealism in the work of Gianni Rodari. Reflections 100 years after the birth of the author
No full textWithin the influence of Gramsci’s pedagogical model in the work of Gianni
Rodari, this article examines the novel Piccoli vagabondi (Small vagabonds) (1952-
1953), a unicum in the author’s production of Grammatica della fantasia (The Grammar
of Fantasy), as it is characterized by neorealistic themes and by a communicative
style that uses “proletarian” rhetoric, progressive vision and utopian elements. After
mentioning the national issue of the non-existence of children’s literature (which
Gramsci mentions in his essays on popular literature) and the neorealistic traits present
in Rodari, the paper enters more directly into the merit of the neorealist novel, which
presents itself as a document of the pedagogical effort (even contradictory) made by
the Partito Comunista Italiano (Italian Communist Party) in the political climate of the
“cold war” and as a testimony to the origin of the author’s search to reconcile realism
with fantasy, dream and invention
Gianni Rodari e le tecniche di fantasia
No full textItGianni Rodari (1920-1980) è ricordato come scrittore per l'infanzia, pedagogista, teorico della fantasia e giornalista. L'autore ha contribuito, per mezzo delle sue Opere, al rinnovamento stilistico e didattico. I temi della creatività e della divergenza predominano delle sue Opere letterarie. Lo scrittore per tanto, fa riferimento a una teoria della mente che tiene presente la fantasia, considerato elemento fondamentale della sua ricerca (Cambi, 1985, pp. 121-122). Nell'Opera maggiore, intitolata la Grammatica della Fantasia, vi sono presenti i temi e riportate delle tecniche tra cui "il binomio fantastico", "l'errore creativo" e "le fiabe". Le tecniche evidenziano l'intreccio tra narrativo, fantastico ed educazione mantenendo un'importante valenza educativa. Gli strumenti inoltre, sollecitano la fantasia del soggetto che lo portano a comprendere il suo mondo interiore e la realtà che lo circonda.EnGianni Rodari (1920-1980) is remembered as a childhood writer, pedagogist, fantasy theorist and journalist.
