Alf Nilsen-Børsskog — The Author Chosen by the Language
No full textThis article discusses Alf Nilsen-Børsskog’s four-volume series of novels Elämän jatko [Continuation of life, 2004–2015], seen as the first literary works treating the Kven culture from a native perspective. Nilsen-Børsskog’s novels are analysed as constituting a “counterstory”, a term coined in the postcolonial cultural research paradigm to refer to self-representation. The Kvens have been considered a national minority in Norway since 1999, and their language has been an official minority language since 2005. The present author scrutinizes how Nilsen-Børsskog’s work differs from previous literary descriptions of this minority, often marked by the frequent use of stereotypes of the Kven language and culture

Johann Siegmund Valentin Popowitsch (Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič), Vocabula Austriaca et Stiriaca 1-2 (Frankfurt am Main 2004)
No full textThe Austrian dictionary composed by the Slovenian scho-lar Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič (1705-1774) in the third quarter of the 18th century was only published in 2004, and edited by Richard Reutner, who wrote an extensive introduction to it. The dictionary comprises many language-geographical data for the German language, excellent explanations and many comparisons with much information provided regarding Popovic's mother tongue. The author broad horizon is admirable, especially with regard to the German language area and the linguistic literature of that time.Avstrijski slovar, ki ga je v tretji četrtini 18. stoletja sestavil slovenski učenjak Janez Žiga Valentin Popovič (1705-1774), je izšel šele leta 2004 v uredništvu Richarda Reutnerja, kije k njemu napisal obsežen uvod. Slovar vsebuje mnogo jezikovnogeografskih podatkov za nemščino, odlične razlage in marsikaj primerjalnega, veliko pa se najde tudi v zvezi s Popovičevo materinščino. Občudovanja vredna je avtorjeva razgledanost predvsem po nemškem jezikoslovnem prostoru in po takratni jezikoslovni literaturi
Effets du style de vie et du sommeil sur les atteintes cognitives et cérébrales au cours du vieillissement et au stade préclinique de la maladie d’Alzheimer
No full textOne of the major challenges for society is to keep the growing population of elders in good health by protecting them from cognitive decline and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Maintaining quality of life and sleep, which decline with age, is also essential to achieve healthy aging. The main objective of this thesis was to contribute to a better understanding of the factors and mechanisms associated with quality of life, with a particular interest for cognitive reserve – a compensatory mechanism that promotes better cognitive functioning – and age-related sleep changes. Our results show that perceived physical health is positively associated with the integrity of several brain areas, known to be vulnerable to the effects of age. In addition, cognitive reserve, measured using the Lifetime of Experiences Questionnaire (LEQ) – a questionnaire that we also validated in several languages – moderates the negative effects of age-related sleep changes, and specially the decrease of slow wave sleep, on executive functions and episodic memory. Thus, preventive and / or interventional strategies which aim to improve quality of life and sleep or to increase cognitive reserve, throughout life, would promote successful aging.L’un des défis majeurs de la société est de maintenir la population croissante de personnes âgées en bonne santé en les préservant du déclin cognitif et des risques de développer une maladie d’Alzheimer. Maintenir la qualité de vie et du sommeil, qui diminuent avec l’âge, est également essentiel pour atteindre ce vieillissement en bonne santé. L’objectif principal de cette thèse était de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension des facteurs et des mécanismes associés à la qualité de vie chez le sujet âgé, avec un intérêt particulier pour la réserve cognitive – mécanisme compensatoire qui favorise un meilleur fonctionnement cognitif – et les modifications du sommeil. Nos résultats montrent que la santé physique perçue est positivement associée à l’intégrité de régions cérébrales qui sont particulièrement sensibles aux effets de l’âge. De plus, la réserve cognitive, mesurée à l’aide du Questionnaire sur les Expériences de la Vie (QEV ou LEQ) – questionnaire que nous avons également validé en plusieurs langues – modère les effets négatifs des troubles du sommeil, et plus particulièrement la réduction du sommeil lent profond, sur les performances exécutives et de mémoire épisodique. Ainsi, des stratégies préventives et/ou interventionnelles qui visent à améliorer la qualité de vie et du sommeil ou à augmenter la réserve cognitive tout au long de la vie permettraient de promouvoir le vieillissement en bonne santé

Valentin N. Volóchinov: um filósofo da ciência da linguagem
No full textThis text address the work of Russian scholar Valentin N. Vološinov, author of the book Marxism and the Philosophy of Language. The objective is to demonstrate a set of characteristics that place Vološinov as a participant in the critique of science movement, which had its epicenter in Germany, between the years 1840 and 1900. To this end, in addition to a general reflection, which recovers the meaning of the term “criticism” most present in the academic environment of the time, this text considers two points of the much mentioned – and, apparently, somewhat misunderstood – opposition of the Russian thinker to the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure, as this linguistics is presented in the Course in General Linguistics. Finally, by way of provocation, this text outlines a few words about the proximity between the epistemological works of Valentin N. Vološinov and Wilhelm Dilthey.Este texto aborda la obra del estudioso ruso Valentin N. Voloshinov, autor de la obra Marxismo y filosofía del lenguaje.

Dal genere all'allegoria: concerti di Valentin de Boulogne nei disegni e nelle stampe di traduzione
No full textLa studiosa, muovendo dall’analisi di un dipinto di Leandro Bassano, conosciuto attraverso una stampa di fine Settecento, sottolinea i collegamenti tra la figurazione veneta del concerto e il linguaggio utilizzato nei quadri musicali da Caravaggio e dai suoi seguaci.
I seguaci della manfrediana methodus usavano descrivere i momenti musicali inserendoli nell’atmosfera scura delle taverne e dei vari ritrovi mondani. Gli strumenti musicali, raffigurati in queste scene si ricollegano ad una complessa simbologia. Gradualmente il concerto dipinto assume significati reconditi che travalicano l’apparente consesso di musicisti: ora i concetti di armonia e di musica si fondono nella definizione figurativa del concerto allegorico.
Valentin de Boulogne non tardò a farsi la nomea di raffinato esecutore di composizioni di genere, in particolare a carattere musicale, successivamente tradotte a stampa. Molti motivi raffigurati, in un suggestivo schema di riflessi, appaiono all’interno delle altre scene di concerti e riunioni varie realizzate dal pittore, ove le espressioni naturalistiche si confondono con gli elementi simbolici.
Alla luce delle osservazioni e dei dati riferiti in questo studio, si può avanzare l’idea che la scena allegorica ambientata in taverna sia una delle principali espressioni della tradizione manfrediana, particolarmente nelle declinazioni di Valentin.
Infine si proposne l'attribuzione al frnacese di un disegno rintracciato dall’autrice, e tradizionalmente attribuito a Rutilio Manetti; si aprono interessanti quesiti, costituendo un inedito tassello nella storia del dipinto di Valentin de Boulogne Concerto a quattro personaggi e un bevitore (New York in collezione privata, 1626).The author analyses a painting by Leandro bassano, through a print of the late eighteenth century, and empahsizes the connections between the figuration used in Venetian concert painting and the language applied in the musical paintings by Caravaggio a nd his followers.
Finally the analysis of a drawing found by the author, and tradinally attributed to Rutilio Manetti, opens up interesting questions in regard to the history of the paioonting Concert with Characteres and a Drinker by Valentin de Boulogne, now in private collection in New York
