THE CARIBBEAN BILDUNGSROMAN IN ENGLISH: A RESPONSE TO COLONIAL EDUCATION
No full textIl presente elaborato si propone di esplorare la tradizione del romanzo di formazione caraibico considerando il genere del romanzo di formazione, le sue caratteristiche, la sua storia, e individuando le peculiarità che il genere ha sviluppato all'interno della tradizione post-coloniale, soprattutto nel contesto caraibico di lingua inglese. Il primo capitolo stabilisce cosa si intenda con “romanzo di formazione caraibico” e introduce i dodici romanzi selezionati per questo studio. La tesi quindi procede identificando quattro argomenti principali, o macro temi, a ciascuno dei quali è dedicato un capitolo, e confrontando il modo in cui questi vengono sviluppati nei diversi romanzi. I temi sono: la scuola e l’istruzione, la cultura e la storia, la politica, la partenza. La tesi si chiude con una breve riflessione sul tema del ritorno.The present study aims to explore the Caribbean Bildungsroman tradition by considering the Bildungsroman genre, its features, and history, and by pointing out the peculiarities that the genre developed within the postcolonial tradition and specifically in the anglophone Caribbean context. The first chapter establishes what is meant by “Caribbean Bildungsroman” and introduces the twelve novels selected for this study. The study then proceeds by identifying four main topics, or macro themes, each developed in a separate chapter, and by comparing the way such themes are dealt with in each of the novels. The themes are: school and education, culture and history, politics, departure. The study closes on a brief reflection on the possibility of return
Non-trivial stimuli-responsive collective behaviours emerging from microscopic dynamic complexity in supramolecular polymer systems
Get PDFSupramolecular polymers are composed of monomers that self-assemble non-covalently generating distributions of fibres in continuous exchange-and-communication with each other and the surroundings. Intriguing collective properties may emerge in such molecular-scale complex systems, following mechanisms often difficult to ascertain. Here we show how non-trivial collective behaviours may emerge in dynamical supramolecular polymer systems already at low-complexity levels. We combine minimalistic models, simulations, and advanced statistical analyses investigating how cooperative and non-cooperative supramolecular polymer systems respond to a specific stimulus: i.e., the addition of molecular sequestrators perturbing their equilibrium. Our data show how, while in a non-cooperative system all assemblies populating the system suffer uniformly the perturbation, in a cooperative system the larger/stronger assemblies survive at the expense of the smaller/weaker entities. Collective behaviours typical of larger-scale and more complex (social, economic, etc.) systems may thus emerge even in relatively simple self-assembling systems from the internal (microscopic) dynamic heterogeneity of their ensembles

The perception of risk and safety in urban mobility from the perspective of blind people. An exploratory study.
No full textAccording to the 11th Sustainable Development Goal in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Devolopment adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, cities should aim at being inclusive (as well as green and safe), with a special focus on vulnerable groups. For an inclusive city, improving mobility and the related sense of autonomy for visually impaired people (VIP) is therefore a growing challenge. Unfortunately, there is a lack of data examining how urban mobility is experienced and perceived by these category of road users in terms of safety.
Aim of the present research is to investigate the mobility habits and the related perceptions of safety of VIP.
106 VIP from an urban area of Northern Italy took part in a semi-structured telephone interview. The interview explored the use of public transport (PT), the experience with transport services organized by volunteers, the representation of pedestrian walks and the perceptions of risk and safety related to the different modes of travel.
The key findings showed that 10% of the sample did not feel safe when walking at all, 30% feel safe only when walking with a companion and the remaining 60% feel safe also when walking independently. Regarding PT use, 20% of respondents do not use it, and among those who do, 52% do not feel safe.
The collected results provide useful information for planning the spatial layout of urban environments and developing urban infrastructure and innovative devices and sensors based on the subjective perception of risk and safety, so as to promote inclusive mobility
