Wollstonecraft: philosophy, passion, and politics/ Sylvana Tomaselli.
No full textIn English."Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, first published in 1792, is a work of enduring relevance in women's rights advocacy. However, as Sylvana Tomaselli shows, a full understanding of Wollstonecraft's thought is possible only through a more comprehensive appreciation of Wollstonecraft herself, as a philosopher and moralist who deftly tackled major social and political issues and the arguments of such figures as Edmund Burke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Adam Smith. Reading Wollstonecraft through the lens of the politics and culture of her own time, this book restores her to her rightful place as a major eighteenth-century thinker, reminding us why her work still resonates today. The book's format echoes one that Wollstonecraft favored in Thoughts on the Education of Daughters: short essays paired with concise headings. Under titles such as "Painting," "Music," "Memory," "Property and Appearance," and "Rank and Luxury," Tomaselli explores not only what Wollstonecraft enjoyed and valued, but also her views on society, knowledge and the mind, human nature, and the problem of evil--and how a society based on mutual respect could fight it. The resulting picture of Wollstonecraft reveals her as a particularly engaging author and an eloquent participant in enduring social and political concerns."--What she liked and loved -- Who are we?

New perspectives in applied linguistics
No full textThis monographic section of "Lingue e Linguaggio" contains the proceedings of the workshop "New Perspectives in Applied Linguistics" organized by D. Delfitto, G. Graffi and A. Tomaselli at the University of Verona on December 13, 2002 (http://fermi.univr.it/live/events/new%20perspectives.pdf). The papers collected and discussed offer an interesting illustration of the increasing degree of interaction between theoretical linguistics and other distinct but related domains of inquiry: cognitive science, neurolinguistics, clinical linguistics, psycholinguistics and, even more specifically, first and second language acquisitio

Suspense! Il cinema della possibilità
No full textChe cos’è la suspense? Come funziona? A che cosa serve?
Si potrebbe sostenere della suspense quello che Agostino diceva a proposito del tempo: “Se nessuno me lo chiede, lo so; se voglio spiegarlo a chi me lo chiede, non lo so più”. Tutti sappiamo a cosa ci si riferisce quando si parla di un film o di un libro di suspense ma, non appena proviamo a spingerci un po’ più in là del suo mero funzionamento tecnico-narrativo (un dispositivo drammaturgico che tiene lo spettatore con il fiato sospeso in attesa che qualcosa di imprevisto si riveli), ci accorgiamo che essa è particolarmente refrattaria all’ingabbiamento concettuale, un meccanismo sfuggente e opaco, privo di chiari appigli teorici. L’idea di Cantone e Tomaselli è che la suspense trovi nel medium audiovisivo (nel cinema, ma anche nella serialità televisiva e nel videogame) il suo terreno più fertile proprio perché l’immagine in movimento la declina in una sua specifica forma storico-ermeneutica, relativa ai diversi ambiti mediatico-culturali nei quali essa si esercita: la suspense si sostanzia più a partire dalla peculiare dimensione esistenziale e storica del soggetto-spettatore che attraverso le tecniche narrative utilizzate
Combating illegal phenomena in Professional Football in Italy: the strengths and weaknesses of the actual model of governance
No full textA recent report about football sector in Italy highlights the reduction of competitive equilibrium of the teams, as shown by their poor performances in Europe, the reduction of fans in the stands, the economic losses and the increasing of debts.
In a previous research, we analyse the governance model established in Italy in the professional football sector, and we realize a taxonomy framework helpful for identifying appropriate tools and procedures to overcome them (Cincimino, Tomaselli, Carini, 2012).
In this research we focus on a particular category of the taxonomy framework of pathologies. The aim is to explore how to contrast the illegal pursuit of football club objectives and extra club objectives.
As expected results, the paper aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the governance model of the football sector in Italy with specific reference to contrast the criminal phenomena
Tomaselli, Keyan G. — Encountering Modernity
No full textKeyan G. Tomaselli est professeur et directeur du département Culture Communication and Media Studies à l’University of KwaZulu-Natal, à Durban (Afrique du Sud). Son livre le plus connu, The Cinema of Apartheid (1988), traitait des liens entre le régime d’apartheid et l’industrie cinématographique sud-africaine, en s’appuyant principalement sur une analyse de l’économie politique à l’origine du développement de cette industrie. Après ces premiers travaux, Tomaselli avait orienté ses centres d..
La nozione di accordo nella grammatica genrativa: dalle strutture della sintassi al programma minimalista
No full textAgreement is a crucial grammatical concept throughout the whole history of (western) classical tradition from Dionysus Thrax’ treatise (where morphological agreement was introduced as the basic criterion to individuate word classes) until most recent developments of grammar models where agreement acquires the status of a syntactic notion.
Starting from the critical survey of the last 200 years of syntactic studies offered by Graffi (2001), we concentrate our attention on the role assigned to the notion of Agreement within the generative grammar framework with particular reference to the last developments of the GB model (Chomsky 1981, 1982, 1986) and to the evolution of the Minimalist Program from its first proposal (Chomsky 1993) to its most recent reformulations (Chomsky 1995, 2000, 2004, 2008).
The first two decades of generative grammar studies (from Syntactic Structures to the Pisa Lectures) saw the crucial passage from a grammar of rules (and constraints on rules) to a model of principles and parameters. During this whole period the exocentric structure of the sentence remained some sort of "primitive" of syntactic analysis:
a. S → NP VP (Chomsky 1957, 1965)
b. S → NP INFL VP (Chomsky 1981)
The introduction of the category INFL represented nevertheless a fundamental change for the notion of Subject Agreement from a pure morphological concept whose realization implied the application of a lexical (language specific) rule to a universal syntactic category whose postulation was not justified by overt morphology. Its activation was simply linked to the positive value of Tense feature in INFL:
c. INFL → +/- Tense (AGR)
During the 80s the status of AGR was invested by two further implementations of sentence analysis:
i) X-BAR theory was extended to functional categories = sentence structure was analyzed as an endocentric construction corresponding to INFL''/COMP'' (cf. Chomsky 1986);
ii) INFL'' was split into two independent projections, respectively Tense Phrase (TP) and Agreement Phrase (AgrP) (cf. Moro 1988, Pollock 1989, Belletti 1990).
These two implementations had a great impact on the theory of movement and its role in the definition of interlinguistic variations. Head movement (in particular V° movement) became a powerful and sophisticated device for a detailed analysis of typological classifications.
The theoretical consequences of this fruitful decade find formalization in the first phase of the Minimalist Program (1993) whose main points with respect to Agreement are the following:
- The doubling of AgrP (both Subject and Object Agreement head independent projections who crucially enter in the definition of Case Theory);
- The development of the checking theory which directly linked "move α" to the feature characterization of functional heads (weak versus strong features), ultimately linked to overt morphology.
In the successive intermediate phase (1995; 2000), Chomsky and others recognize that Agreement has no semantic content and that its simulation as an independent functional head present in the lexicon is not justified. Agreement remains a configurationally relation, but more structural than substantial: (multiple) specifier head agreement is assumed to be the crucial configuration for feature checking. And its central role in explaining movement and cross-linguistic variation remains.
In the most recent phase (2004, 2008) Agree gets to be an operation, completely devoided of any configurational status. Agree is an operation holding at a distance by which an unvalued feature (a Probe) searches and finds a matching valued feature (a Goal) valuating it. In this brand new definition, agreement gets dissociated both from dislocation and movement whatsoever (an additional mechanism forcing movement needs to be introduced) and from cross-linguistic variation and its morphological correlate.
The complex evolution of such a central notion in the syntactic theory will be reconstructed at the light of the analysis of some representative articles of the various phases outlined above. The final goal of our paper if to relate the evolution of the concept of Agreement to other important shifts within the Generative Model, concerning in particular the role and status of movement: from a ‘radical imperfection’ (Chomsky 1995) to a ‘conceptual necessity’ (Chomsky 2006 a.o.); from a primitive to a special instance of the structure-building operation Merge driven by pervasive Agreement
