Sorelle d'Italia. Scrittrici e identità nazionale. Introduzione
No full textSorelle d'Italia offre una riflessione critica sul contributo che poetesse e scrittrici di diverse epoche hanno dato alla costruzione del discorso identitario nazionale. I saggi raccolti nello studio tracciano una linea d'indagine che mostra come la scrittura delle donne si sia confrontata con una materia comunemente ritenuta di pertinenza maschile, dialogando talvolta in modo conflittuale con il discorso dominante, e restituendo prospettive formali e culturali alternative
Sorelle d'Italia. Scrittrici e identità nazionale
No full textSorelle d’Italia offre una riflessione critica sul contributo che poetesse e scrittrici di diverse epoche hanno dato alla costruzione del discorso identitario nazionale. Sempre relegata ai margini del canone, la produzione poetica e romanzesca delle donne, fin dalla prima modernità, ha concorso a definire il concetto di identità nazionale, declinandosi di volta in volta in modo diverso. I saggi raccolti in questo studio tracciano una linea d’indagine che mostra come la voce delle donne si sia confrontata con una materia comunemente ritenuta di pertinenza maschile, quale quella politica e civile, dialogando, talvolta in modo conflittuale, con il discorso dominante, e restituendo prospettive formali e culturali alternative
DAI GALATEI ALLA LETTERATURA ROSA: UN’ANALISI DI MODELLI COMPORTAMENTALI E LINGUISTICI
No full textil contributo ha per oggetto un’analisi dei riflessi che i modelli comportamentali e linguistici, quali emergono da alcuni galatei scritti da donne negli anni immediatamente successivi all’Unità d’Italia, hanno avuto nella caratterizzazione di alcune protagoniste della letteratura rosa prodotta in Italia negli anni 1915-1945. Se da una parte, infatti, la fine dell’Ottocento è un periodo in cui le donne sono particolarmente attive nella produzione di galatei, e ciò anche in virtù del loro ruolo di educatrici, responsabili della trasmissione di modelli comportamentali ma anche linguistici nel neonato stato italiano, dall’altra il periodo compreso tra l’inizio della prima e la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale si caratterizza per la necessità di trasmettere – da parte delle e per le donne – modelli sociali e linguistici che ne rafforzino il ruolo in funzione dell’identità nazionale (cfr. Fresu 2011).
Nell’ambito della letteratura di condotta, risulta di particolare interesse verificare come l’eredità dei galatei di fine Ottocento sia stata raccolta dalla letteratura rosa, evidenziando sia la congruenza tra aspirazioni letterarie e vocazione pedagogica, sia la persistenza degli immaginari e dei modelli sociali e linguistici proposti già nel secolo precedente

No full textTutela dei minori e nuove transizioni familiari
No full textAbstract. The Author claims that the protection of minors in our contemporary society is primarily concerned with the changes in family transitions. As a matter of fact, family transitions loose the normative regulations they had in the past. The emergent effect is an overall increase in the risks and uncertainties that minors have to face. What does it happen when the relative stability of the transitional stages that families meet wither away? What are the consequences on children? What kind of interventions (social policies, personal social services, etc.) addressed to minors can be envisaged in a society which configures family transitions as an unbound morphogenesis of its relations? The social condition of minors becomes an unceasingly transition due to many factors, but basically because the societal morphogenesis makes the reflexive abilities of the families more and more problematic. The paper suggests that, in order to protect children, we have to go beyond the conditional and muddling through models of the past. We need to adopt a new model of analysis and intervention, called ODG-system, which is relational and reflexive. It consists in developing the relational reflexivity of the family as a social system able to cope with children’s needs
The rice transcription factor OsWRKY47 is a positive regulator of the response to water deficit stress
No full textOsWRKY47 is a divergent rice transcription factor belonging to the group II of the WRKY family. A transcriptomic analysis of the drought response of transgenic rice plants expressing P (SARK) ::IPT, validated by qPCR, indicated that OsWRKY47 expression was induced under drought stress in P (SARK) ::IPT plants. A PCR-assisted site selection assay (SELEX) of recombinant OsWRKY47 protein showed that the preferred sequence bound in vitro is (G/T)TTGACT. Bioinformatics analyses identified a number of gene targets of OsWRKY47; among these two genes encode a Calmodulin binding protein and a Cys-rich secretory protein. Using Oswrk47 knockout mutants and transgenic rice overexpressing OsWRKY47 we show that the transcription of these putative targets were regulated by OsWRKY47. Phenotypic analysis carried out with transgenic rice plants showed that Oswrky47 mutants displayed higher sensitivity to drought and reduced yield, while plants overexpressing OsWRKY47 were more tolerant
Price caps, efficiency payoffs, and infrastructure contract renegotiation in Latin America
No full textTwenty years ago, as the United Kingdom was getting ready to launch the privatization of its public services, Professor Littlechild developed and operationalized the concept of price caps as a regulatory regime to control for residual monopoly conditions in those services. Ten years later, Latin American countries, as they embarked into their own infrastructure reforms, also adopted the price cap regulatory model. Relying on a large data base on the factors driving contract renegotiation in the region and a survey of the literature on efficiency gains, the authors assess the impact of this regulatory regime in Latin America. They show that while the expected efficiency gains were amply achieved, these gains were seldom passed on to the users. Instead they were shared by the government and the firms. Moreover, the adoption of price caps implied higher costs of capital and hence, tariffs, and brought down levels of investment.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Decentralization,Labor Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Water Supply and Sanitation Participation,Community Participation in Water Supply and Sanitation
Anhedonia and Emotion Regulation in Delay Discounting
No full textThis study focused on two research questions. First, it examined how one’s low regard for future reward can influence one’s time-bound decision making also known as temporal decision making. Second, it examined how the control (i.e. emotion regulation) of negative emotion also influenced temporal discounting. The study hypothesizes that 1) low anticipatory wanting and 2) employing suppression and reappraisal predict discounting behavior. TEPS was used to measure anticipatory and consummatory anhedonia whereas the emotion regulation task and delay discounting task were adapted from previous experimental studies and appropriately designed using Superlab 5. The data were collected from participants composed of 206 and was analyzed using process macro SPSS version 21. The results failed to show that the proposed predictors were directly associated with discounting. The author resolved to conditional indirect process analysis using different models. The initial pathway modeling showed a conditional indirect effect of anticipatory anhedonia on delay discounting mediated by negative affect and moderated by suppression condition (template 14 in Haye's Process model in SPSS 2013).
This project designed two readily available experiment materials. First, the emotion regulation tasks in inducing negative affect derived from Dan-Galusser and Gross (2011) using IAPS (Lang, 1998) wherein 75 photos will be shown to participants. The other one is the delay discounting task using Philippine peso currency which is derived according to Rachlin, Raineri & Gross’s (1991) method of titrating hypothetical monetary rewards until the indifference points are reached in each delay time points
