Gëzim Hajdari. Ultime frontiere letterarie.
No full textNell’intervento proposto si desidera tentare una lettura della vicenda poetico-letteraria di Gezim Hajdari, poeta italofono albanese già candidato al Nobel e residente in Italia dal 1992. Considerato tra i maggiori poeti viventi, sin dal suo arrivo in Italia si è distinto per il costante percorso di ricerca di una personale via di transculturazione tra la propria identità d’origine -che egli definisce linguistico-affettiva- e la letteratura e cultura italiana, sineddoche dell’intera letteratura occidentale.
In particolar modo, Hajdari, con la produzione poetica recenziore (Delta del mio fiume, Roma, 2015) e con la speculare politica editoriale posta in essere come direttore della collana Erranze della casa editrice romana Ensemble, sembra aver attuato il proposito di un ulteriore attraversamento delle due culture frequentate nella produzione poetica precedente, sospesa in un cammino biunivoco di attraversamento e percorrimento osmotico e ambo-direzionale, alla volta di una ancor più compiuta letteratura totale.
La convergenza della scelta poetica e di quella editoriale, unica nel panorama italiano (cui si deve recentemente il merito di aver pubblicato le sole opere tradotte in italiano di Gemino Abad, Dove le parole non si spezzano, Roma, 2016; e Kamau Brathwaite, Diritti di passaggio, Roma, 2014), sembra realizzare compiutamente l’intento dell’avventura umana e poetica condotta precedentemente, e già giunta ad avanzato esito con il poema tragico Nur (Roma, 2012), avverando ulteriormente la tensione poetica hajdariana alla creazione di una poesia-mondo assoluta che, evolvendo da una precedente condizione liminare sospesa tra la sua cultura d’origine e quella d’approdo, la amplia in una silloge ancora una volta echeggiante la genesi concentrica dell’intera opera poetica, globalmente leggibile come poema ininterrotto e monocentrico, pur se variato attorno alla costante modulazione, anticipazione e prolessi di un vocabolario dell’immaginario sistematico, che vela le molte strutture di appartenenza selezionate come fonte etica ed estetica del suo discorso umano, culturale e poetico.I'd like to propose in my speech an interpretation of Gezim Hajdari’s poetic and literary story. Hajdari is an Albanian Italian-speaking poet who has been nominated to Nobel Prize several times, and is considered one of the most important living poet.
Since his arrival in Italy in 1992, Hajdari pursued a personal search for transcultural identity, starting from his linguistic-affective albanian origin and mengling it with Italian culture and literature, which he interpreted as a synecdoche of all Western literatures.
Hajdari seems to cross both cultures equally to lead torward a total-word literature. He does that especially in his newest poetic production (Delta del mio fiume, Rome, 2015), and in his series Erranze, printed with the publishing house Ensemble in Rome.
The convergence between his poetic production and his editorial line, unique in the Italian review, seems to fulfill his previous human and poetic adventure, already outlined in his tragic poem Nûr (Rome, 2012). He achieves the word-poem he seemed to have in mind by extending a concentric path from an internal nucleus, and by a constant modulation, anticipation and prolepsis of an imaginative vocabulary which can be read as the ethic and aesthetic root of his human, cultural and poetic speech
Matrici classiche e italiane nella produzione italofona dei poeti brasiliani contemporanei in esilio in Italia.
Full text linkDopo un iniziale censimento dei poeti migranti operanti in Italia, la ricerca evidenzia la centralità della produzione dei poeti di origine brasiliana all'interno della letteratura della migrazione in lingua italiana e la sua concomitanza con la coeva produzione poetica dell'esilio. Essa sottolinea la centralità di fattori - poi definiti funzioni- quali la produzione del lustro brasiliano di Giuseppe Ungaretti e la riflessione stanziale di argomento meridionalista degli anni Cinquanta. Tali funzioni appaiono centrali nella riflessione dei poeti contemporanei italofoni di origini brasiliane, caratterizzata da una approfondita e costante ricerca intorno alle strutture linguistiche proprie dell'attraversamento interlinguistico ed a riflessioni sulla valenza del dato somatico nella significazione del passaggio verso la patria d'elezion
Assessing Causal Effects in a Longitudinal Observational Study With “Truncated” Outcomes Due to Unemployment and Nonignorable Missing Data
No full textImportant statistical issues pervade the evaluation of training programs' effects for unemployed people. In particular, the fact that offered wages are observed and well-defined only for subjects who are employed (truncation by death), and the problem that information on the individuals' employment status and wage can be lost over time (attrition) raise methodological challenges for causal inference. We present an extended framework for simultaneously addressing the aforementioned problems, and thus answering important substantive research questions, in training evaluation observational studies with covariates, a binary treatment and longitudinal information on employment status and wage, which may be missing due to the lost to follow-up. There are two key features of this framework: we use principal stratification to properly define the causal effects of interest and to deal with nonignorable missingness, and we adopt a Bayesian approach for inference. The proposed framework allows us to answer an open issue in economics: the assessment of the trend of reservation wage over the duration of unemployment. We apply our framework to evaluate causal effects of foreign language training programs in Luxembourg, using administrative data on the labor force (IGSS-ADEM dataset). Our findings might be an incentive for the employment agencies to better design and implement future language training programs

No full textEvaluating COVID-19 screening strategies based on serological tests
Full text linkBackground. Facing the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic requires intensive testing on the population to early identify and isolate infected subjects. Although RT-PCR is the most reliable technique to detect ongoing infections, serological tests are frequently proposed as tools in heterogeneous screening strategies. We analyze the performance of a screening strategy proposed in Tuscany (Italy), which first uses qualitative rapid tests for antibody detection, and then RT-PCR tests on the positive subjects. Methods. We simulate the number of RT-PCR tests required by the screening strategy and the undetected ongoing infections in a pseudo-population of 500000 subjects, under different prevalence scenarios and assuming a sensitivity of the serological test ranging from 0.50 to 0.80 (specificity=0.98). A compartmental model is used to predict the number of new infections generated by the false negatives two months after the screening, under different values of the infection reproduction number. Results. Assuming a sensitivity equal to 0.80 and a prevalence of 0.3%, the screening procedure would require on average 11167.6 RT-PCR tests and would produce 300 false negatives, responsible after two months of a number of contagions ranging from 526 to 1132, under the optimistic scenario of a reproduction number between 0.5 to 1. Costs and false negatives increase with the prevalence. Conclusions. The analyzed screening procedure should be avoided unless the prevalence and the rate of contagion are very low. The cost and effectiveness of the screening strategies should be evaluated in the actual context of the epidemic, accounting for the fact that it may change over time
