A Imagem alimentar e o advento do menor na literatura infantil: estranhamentos de Gianni Rodari
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011Elaborou-se esta tese a partir da pesquisa sobre a presença da imagem do alimento em alguns contos clássicos da tradição oral e em (re)leituras literárias para crianças. Tomam-se aqui o alimento e o ato de comer em uma dimensão estética, levando em consideração o duplo código que se articula nos livros infantis: o texto e a ilustração. O trabalho visa, em uma distribuição rizomática, potencializar a literatura infantil em sala de aula a partir do aparato teórico-metodológico oferecido pelo escritor italiano Gianni Rodari em sua Gramática da Fantasia (1982). Alimento, imaginação, fantasia, estranhamento e relações com o menor articulam-se como conceitos que favorecem a formação de um leitor híbrido ou, nos termos da pesquisa, um leitor menor. Por meio de estratégias interdisciplinares, discute-se a comensalidade e suas mudanças histórico-sociais - da escassez do alimento ao comer em excesso -, e tais estratégias resultam em uma metafórica alimentar que pensa o alimento na literatura e a literatura como alimento. Neste sentido, chega-se a um encontro produtivo entre as narrativas e o leitor, tendo, por um lado, o livro atrativo e/ou nutritivo, e, por outro, um percurso da fome ou do desejo de comer, da devoração cultural, de uma educação alimentar.This thesis was elaborated from the research on the presence of food images in classical tales of oral tradition and in literary (re)readings for children. Here, food and eating are viewed on an aesthetic dimension, taking in consideration the double code articulated on children?s books: text and illustration. The purpose of this paper is to optimize, on a rhizomatic distribution, the use of children?s literature in the classroom, based on the theoretical-methodological apparatus offered by the Italian writer Gianni Rodari in his book The Grammar of Fantasy (1982). Food, imagination, fantasy, estrangement and relationships with the minor are articulated as concepts that promote the development of a hybrid reader or, in the terms of the research, a minor reader. Through interdisciplinary strategies, commensality and its social-historic changes are discussed - from scarcity of food to excessive eating - and such strategies result on a metaphor that analyzes food in literature and literature as food. In this sense, a productive encounter between narratives and reader is reached, having the attractive or nutritious book on the one hand and, on the other hand, a trajectory of food or the desire to eat, of cultural devouring, of nutritional education

No full textTonight the Courtyard Doesn’t Sleep is a unique case in the Mass Theatre, both because the actors are children, and because it joins historical topics and fantastical stories. The script written by Gianni Rodari and Marcello Sartarelli is staged in Carlo Felice Theatre in Genova on 17th February 1951. The story which revolves around a courtyard and the children that enliven it, develops from 1943 to the second postwar period. In Tonight the Courtyard Doesn’t Sleep the real dimension and the fantastic one live together. The latter is analyzed in relation to a fable utopia that, even if in minority, is no extraneous to the realism of the 50s.Tonight the Courtyard Doesn’t Sleep is a unique case in the Mass Theatre, both because the actors are children, and because it joins historical topics and fantastical stories.

La Vestale 'incesta'
No full textMarcello Salvadore: La Vestale incesta.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Pliny the Younger and Plutarch are the sources
of a detailed account of Vestalis incesta’s punishment: they say that she was
sentenced to death. Dionysius adds that there was no after death ritual.
Modern scholars generally accept what the three authors assert. In this article
the author surmises that the Vestalis incesta, together with the parricida, was
not condemned to death: both of them were sentenced to a particular kind
of banishment from the Society
De Lope a Celano: la adaptación italiana de "Los tres diamantes"
No full textAbstract
This paper explores an Italian adaptation of Lope de Vega’s play Los tres diamantes, written in the
second part of the seventeenth century. Its author, Carlo Celano, was a famous writer of opere regie,
i.e., adaptations of Spanish comedies of situation. The analysis focuses on the way in which the
adaptation of the Aristotelian units of space and time leads to a reduction of the characters and a
simplification of the situation, although this is compensated by enriching its ludic component. This
last trait can be also observed in a previous re-elaboration of Lope’s comedy, the scenario of the
Commedia dell’arte titled Il cavaliere dai tre gigli d’oro
ALBI grade for outcome prediction in patients affected by hepatocellular carcinoma treated with transarterial radioembolization
No full textIntroduction and aimDiagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often occurs when the disease is unresectable and therapeutic options are limited. The extent of disease and liver function according to Child-Pugh (C-P) classification are the main prognostic factors guiding clinicians in the management of HCC. The integration of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade is emerging to assess liver function on account of its objectivity and reproducibility. Our aim was to investigate the value of the ALBI grade in predicting the outcome in patients treated with transarterial radioembolization (TARE).MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled patients with advanced and unresectable HCC treated with TARE in our institution. All patients underwent a preliminary dosimetric study before Yttrium-90 resin microsphere TARE. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC), C-P, and ALBI scores were established at the time of TARE. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and survival after TARE were assessed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Survival analyses were stratified according to ALBI grade, C-P, and BCLC classification. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional regression models determined the association between prognostic factors and clinical outcomes.ResultsIn total, 72 patients were included in the study, showing an OS of 51 months. The ALBI grade identified groups of patients with different prognoses both in the whole cohort and within the C-P classes, especially between ALBI 1 and ALBI 2. This result is confirmed also within BCLC classes. In treatment naïve patients, the ALBI grade was not able to predict outcomes, whereas the presence and degree of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) significantly affected prognosis.ConclusionsThe ALBI grade provided a more accurate prognostic stratification than the C-P classification in patients with intermediate and advanced HCC treated with TARE. However, the outcome of HCC is affected not only by liver function but also by disease-related characteristics, such as disease burden and degree of PVT. Including the ALBI grade in clinical guidelines may improve the management of patients affected by HCC.</jats:sec

Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography for Patients with Recurrent Colorectal Liver Metastases: Impact on Restaging and Treatment Planning
No full textBackground. The impact of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) still is debated. Its relevance could be enhanced in the case of recurrent disease. The current study aimed to elucidate the role of PET-CT in restaging and treatment planning for recurrent CLM. Methods. A series of 352 consecutive patients undergoing their first liver resection for CLM between 2005 and 2014 was reviewed. Of these patients, 224 (63.6 %) had a recurrence. The 107 patients who had received PET-CT at diagnosis of recurrence before chemotherapy were analyzed. CT was available in all cases, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was available in 64 cases. Results. Extrahepatic lesions were found in 59 patients. Liver and lung recurrences were detected with excellent sensitivity by CT/MRI and PET-CT (liver: 100 vs. 96.7 %; lung: 95.8 vs. 95.8 %). In detecting other recurrence sites, PET-CT had higher sensitivity than CT/MRI (91.5 vs. 54.2 %, p < 0.01; lymph nodes: 93.5 vs. 64.5 %, p = 0.011; peritoneum: 80 vs. 20 %, p = 0.023; bones: 87.5 vs. 37.5 %, nonsignificant difference). For 28.8 % (17/59) of the patients, the diagnosis of extrahepatic disease was obtained thanks to PET-CT (39.5 % considering nonpulmonary lesions). PET-CT modified treatment strategy in 16 (14.9 %) patients, excluding from surgery 15 (20.3 %) of 74 patients resectable at CT/MRI. This latter subgroup had a lower survival rate than the patients resectable after PET-CT (2-year survival, 22.7 vs. 77.8 %; p = 0.004), similar to the patients unresectable at CT/MRI (57.6 %). Conclusions. In the authors' experience, PET-CT has offered a relevant contribution to restaging of recurrent CLM. It disclosed one fourth of extrahepatic lesions and prevented worthless surgery for about 20 % of patients
