Introduction: Working Stars
No full textThis chapter describes the rationale of the edited collection, connecting it to the Italian research project it stems from. Building on previous theoretical understandings of actorship and on literature on Italian actors, and showcasing the main methods to survey the subject, i.e., performance studies, celebrity studies, and production studies. It shows describes how the subject of Italian contemporary film and media performers is investigated: by looking at the training and the early steps of actors, by following multifaceted careers across different projects, audiences, and media, and by tracing the design of personas and their recognition through press, PR, awards, and social media. Both the agency of actors and the role of intermediaries are highlighted, scrutinizing the background of a changing landscape, with the aim of providing our readership with a thorough account of the individual Italian case histories
La business fable come strumento formativo aziendale: Who moved my cheese? di Spencer Johnson e il tema del cambiamento
No full text Abstract – This paper is about a business fable that was issued in 1998 by Spencer Johnson and has never stopped being a publishing success: Who Moved My Cheese: An Amazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and in your Life is a simple story, a fable, or as the genre is now called a business fable. In particular we would like to see what the book shares with fables and how it conveys to the reader the core theme, that is change. The analysis focuses on the (business) fable as a type of simple literature which is able to persuade the reader to change a “wrong” attitude and to adopt new points of view regarding change. My interest was mainly based on the language style and the type of words used by the author in order to reach his target as well as on the readability assessment of the text. This was possible thanks to the use of Textalyser, a simple tool of automated text analysis available on the Internet, very effective and useful to trace some linguistic and extra-linguistic observations of the content.Keywords: cheese, business fable, change, text analysis, word frequency Abstract - Questo articolo tratta di una business fable pubblicata nel 1998 da Spencer Johnson e che da allora non ha mai cessato di essere un successo editoriale: Who Moved My Cheese: An Amazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and in your Life è una storia semplice, una favola, o come viene ora definito il genere una business fable. In particolare vorremmo scoprire ciò che il libro condivide con le favole e come viene trasmesso al lettore il tema centrale, il cambiamento. L’analisi si concentra sulla favola (manageriale) come un genere letterario semplice che è capace di persuadere il lettore a modificare un atteggiamento “sbagliato” e ad adottare nuovi punti di vista in merito al cambiamento. Il mio interesse era principalmente basato sullo stile linguistico e sul tipo di lessico utilizzato dall’autore al fine di raggiungere il suo obiettivo nonché sulla valutazione della readability del testo. Ciò è stato possibile attraverso l’uso di Textalyser, uno strumento semplice di analisi automatica del testo disponibile in rete, molto efficace e utile per tracciare alcune osservazioni linguistiche ed extra-linguistiche del contenuto.

Contro la prospettiva: monocentrismo individuale della visione
No full textGiancarlo De Carlo, in the introduction to the volume
Il Palazzo di Federico da Montefeltro, 1985, edited
by Maria Luisa Polichetti, speaks of Luciano Laurana and
Francesco di Giorgio Martini as the “spirits” of the Palazzo.
We cannot help but imagine De Carlo himself as a presence
for the city, always present and alive through his project.
In L’architettura della partecipazione he exposes how often
the representation of architecture does not include the
people who live in it; a custom whose origins the author
traces back to the “individual monocentric vision” of the
Renaissance perspective.
Based on this consideration eight internationally
renowned photographers, Urbino ISIA teachers, tell the
story of De Carlo’s work in Urbino. These images tell the
story of De Carlo in Urbino today. What interests us is their
potential as a lesson for the present. Paola Binante,
Luca Capuano, Mario Cresci, Paola De Pietri, Jason Fulford,
Stefano Graziani, Armin Linke, Giovanna Silva, explore
and recount the nature of this lesson through photography.
Alongside their multiple perspectives is the performative
work, carried out by the graphic designer Patrick Lacey and
the artist Ben Cain, with the ISIA students and the narrations
developed by the students of the Iuav University of Venice,
together with Armin Linke, using photographic material
from the archives.
Besides curators’ texts, this book includes contributions
by Roberta Valtorta, with respect to the long-term
relationship between architecture and photography,
by Mirko Zardini, on De Carlo’s relationship with the city
of Urbino, and by Sara Marini, on the architect’s textual
production

The language of diplomacy. A linguistic analysis of Jerzy Buzek’s address on ‘EU-China: strategic partnership in light of the challenges for global governance'
No full textAs China has become a leading political and economic power in the last few decades and trading relations have risen hugely between the EU and China, the main interest of the article is to analyze how language is used in a diplomatic context such as a speech given by the president of the European Parliament at the University of Nanjing. The main features that characterize the language of diplomacy, such as the wise use of rhetoric, vocabulary and ambiguity are the indispensable tools of a diplomat in a very delicate context whose success is based on the ability to persuade the audience
The Language of Diplomacy in Inaugural Speeches: Roberta Metsola's speech as the New President of the EU Parliament
No full textThe study of inaugural speeches is fairly consolidated, especially if we refer to the analysis of the speeches of American presidents. Much less is available on the subject when we delve into lesser-known presidential figures, such as the presidents of European institutions. The analysis of the speeches of American presidents through the methodology of discourse analysis has helped to reveal their political intentions, their way of persuading listeners, building trust and empathy with the public, but also reaffirming their policies and measures relating to the economy, foreign affairs and social issues.
In this paper I will focus on the new President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola, elected on January 18, 2022. We are therefore in a completely different context, since the two forms of presidency are different in terms of roles, tasks and powers granted. Metsola’s inaugural speech will be analysed from a Discourse Analysis perspective, with a focus on lexical choice, personal pronouns and rhetorical figures to show how she plans to construct the image of the new presidency of the EU parliament and her intended objectives. The paper analyses how those who work in institutions such as the EU try to convey political messages, maintain or change the point of view of their public on certain issues, and understand whether they tend to conform to the consolidated structural and linguistic protocols that characterize their role or whether they (may) lapse into discursive practices that sometimes seem trite and worn-out
DEFINITION AND MAIN FEATURES OF BUSINESS ENGLISH WITH A SPECIAL REGARD TO DIFFERENCES WITH THE LANGUAGE OF ECONOMICS
No full textAlthough English for Specific Purposes has now a consolidated role in language teaching and specialized discourse has been analysed by many scholars, Business English still has some definition problems. In my article I try to provide the reader with an overview of the studies in this field, by identifying the main features of Business Discourse/Business English (BD/BE) based on previous studies. I also try to identify similarities and differences between Economic Discourse/English for Economics (ED/EE) and BD/BE by starting from the premise that economics and business are two related but different disciplines
