FAMILY ASSOCIATIONISM AND DISABILITIES: APPROACHES AND INTERVENTION STRATEGIES A SCOPING REVIEW
No full textThis contribution intends to investigate the phenomenon of associationism of families of children with disabilities through a Scoping Review which has set itself, among its main objectives, that of identifying the approaches and support strategies adopted by the families of the associations. The results are in continuity with the first part of the study presented in a previous work by the author (****) which had the purpose of studying the roles, motivations and purposes of associations of families of children with disabilities, offering interesting suggestions and factors for reflection also for this article.The results described below urge special pedagogy to undertake research trajectories that turn the spotlight on the evolving pedagogical processes within families of children with disabilities, with particular attention to the associative dimension. The approaches of empowerment and resilience as well as coping and parent to parent support strategies attribute a strategic role to the family in its plurality of voices, identities, needs and desires which deserve to be adequately investigated
Homoerotic Desire and Masculine Identity in Tachibana Sotō’s Narrative
No full textThis paper explores two little-known works by Tachibana Sotō (1894–1959), a Japanese author marginal in modernist studies yet briefly mentioned in queer cultural studies. His 1938 novel Narin Denka heno Kaisō (My Memories of Prince Nalin), awarded with the Naoki Prize, belongs to mass literature and recounts the friendship between the narrator and an Indian prince in Japan. What initially appears to be the story of a friendship with veiled homoerotic undertones that challenges gender norms in pre-war Japan, then takes on the characteristics of a spy story in which the Japanese protagonist sides with the Indians against British interference. The second text, Nanshoku Monogatari (A Tale of Homoerotic Experiences, 1952), adopts a humorous, quasi-confessional style to depict the author’s adolescent infatuation with a younger classmate. Published amid the liberalised atmosphere of post-war kasutori culture, it revisits the Edo-period tradition of male-male desire (nanshoku) while exposing the stigma and contradictions surrounding sexuality in mid-twentieth-century Japan. This paper investigates how Tachibana’s fiction negotiates the continuity and rupture between the legacy of nanshoku, the moralisation of the war period, and the more tolerant expression of sexuality in the post-war period
La "censura cattolica" e il documentario industriale. Nazareno Taddei condanna un film sul Mezzogiorno
No full textIn 1953, a member of the political party Democrazia Cristiana, Enrico Mattei founded the Ente nazionale idrocarburi (ENI). The various corporate advertising tools also included documentaries. Gela antica e nuova (1964) shot by Giuseppe Ferrara participated in the Monza Film Festival for industrial cinema and was negatively judged by Nazareno Taddei, a Jesuit member of the jury. The author deals the relationship between the Catholic and political-industrial worlds, argued about the relationship between the representations of religion and modernity, since it takes place in the period of the Italian economic miracle
Un'estate a Zushi
No full text"My Memories of Prince Nalin" is probably Tachibana's best-known work, which earned him the seventh Naoki Prize in 1938. The story retraces the brief period in Japan of Nalin, the prince son of the Maharaja of Birpur. The protagonist from whose point of view the story is told is called Tachibana like the author. Despite his literary ambitions, he works as a shop manager for a company that trades with foreign countries and it is during a meeting with some Indian customers that he gets to know Nalin. Tachibana is unaware that he is a maharajah and is so impressed by his good looks and refined manners that he first invites him to dinner and then offers to guide him around Tokyo. The two spend pleasant days together and Tachibana is surprised by the intelligence and entrepreneurial plans of Nalin, who would like to build a cinema in Birpur to recreate and educate his countrymen. It is only in the course of their acquaintance that Tachibana discovers that Nalin is actually a maharajah who has come to Japan to study. He wants to research the Japanese textile industry in order to acquire the necessary skills to develop that sector in his country. The two become good friends until the British government forces Nalin to leave Japan.
"A Summer in Zushi" is set in the mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture not far from the town of Zushi. The narrator has recently lost his wife who died of tuberculosis and decides to retire to live there for a while. During his summer there, he repeatedly ventures near an ancient, now abandoned Buddhist temple. It is in the temple's desolate cemetery that an unexpected encounter takes place. Next to one of the tombs, he spots a beautiful child in the company of an old man and a young woman. Frightened and at the same time intrigued by the three mysterious figures, the protagonist investigates their identity and discovers that they are ultimately three ghosts. Haunting him in particular is the child who materializes in the most unlikely places. However, the suspense and frightening atmosphere that pervade the tale leave room for an unexpectedly serene ending
Quando il rito inganna: azioni rituali e μηχαναί in Euripide (El., IT. Hel.)
No full textQuesto lavoro esamina tre casi euripidei nei quali il riferimento ad azioni rituali specifiche (il riconoscimento di un nuovo nato, la celebrazione di un rito funerario, la purificazione di un omicida) funziona come strumento di inganno utilizzato da uno o più personaggi ai danni di un altro. Si tratta di casi in cui il rito assume una precisa funzione drammatica e permette di creare una complicità con l’uditorio, che coinvolge tanto l’autore quanto coloro che, in vari momenti dell’Elettra, dell’Ifigenia tra i Tauri e dell’Elena, si trovano sulla scena.The article deals with three euripidean passages (from Electra, Iphigenia among the Taurians and Helen) in which the enactment of ritual actions (such as the admission of a newborn child to the familial group, the celebration of a funerary rite, the purification of a murderer) works as a deceiving or misleading resource. In such circumstances rites play a major dramatic role in creating a complicity between the author, the audience and the characters acting on scene
“Lo so, ma preferisco non dirlo”. Silenzi e strategie etnografiche in Hdt. II
No full text“Why they do this, I do not feel like saying” (Hdt. II 3.2); “Although I know it, it is not appropriate for me to say it” (Hdt. II 47.2). Despite expressions such as these, which also occur in other passages of Book II, Herodotus does indeed provide a great deal of information about the lands he explores, on the journey southwards by which he leads listeners and future readers to the north coast of Africa. In this paper, I intend to investigate more closely the instances in which reticence becomes a tool of ethnographic account and emerging historiographical practice, as well as other technical verbs in Herodotus’ vocabulary. More in particular, I will focus my attention on cases where the reticence concerns specific rituals and festivals, the invention of which Herodotus attributes to the Egyptians. The festivals and cults thus become one of the possible parameters around which the historian constructs his performative practice, which is particularly interesting when the author states that – if something he does not want to say will be said instead – this will happen “constrained by the necessity of narration” (Hdt. II 65.3)
Effects of NaCl, Na2SO4, H2SO4, and glucose on growth, photosynthesis and respiration in the acidophilic alga Dunaliella acidophila (Volvocales, Chlorophyta).
No full textThe effects of solute showed that photosynthesis was not significantly affected, while a slow but constant increase of the respiratory rates resulted from increasing the osmolality of the medium. -from Author
Synthesis of Pyrazoles by 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition under Aqueous Micellar Catalysis
No full textEthyl diazoacetate (EDA), which is easily prepared from ethyl glycinate and NaNO2, reacts in situ with alkynes in a water micelle environment without organic solvent to form pyrazoles. The reaction is pH dependent, as in the presence of protic catalysis (H2SO4 4%, pH 3.5) a mixture of 3,5- and 4,5-disubstituted pyrazoles was obtained, while, at pH 5.5, only the 3,5-disubstituted isomer was obtained. The presence of the surfactant TPGS-750-M was crucial to secure clean crude reaction mixtures and high yields of the products. The same protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of substituted pyrazolines. © 2022 The Author
