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

The interrelation between socio-spatial and institutional context and family business characteristics
No full textTomaselli, Agrò, Fazio e Fricano show how family firms draw strength from the regional institutional context (where the region is properly intended as an administrative sub-unit at national level), as well as contribute to its evolution via their own actions. The variation in family competencies and internal dynamics lead to differences in family firms's overlla performance. The relationship with the regional institutional system in mutually sinergic - even marginal family businesses add their voice to whole, resulting in grater collective political influence, and at the same time the institutions at the regional level provide some degree of legitimacy to all players
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

Is relationship lending still a mixed blessing? A review of advantages and disadvantages for lenders and borrowers
No full textRelationship lending is a common lending technology that is assumed to bring several benefits to small-medium enterprises (SMEs) and to financial institutions that adopt it. Notably, it could reduce information asymmetries, permitting banks to offer better credit terms to the borrower. However, it also entails some costs for both sides. The empirical evidence so far has not been conclusive in determining under what conditions relationship lending can be beneficial or harmful. Most of the studies suggest that SMEs that engage in relationship lending benefit from more credit availability (especially during a financial crisis), and lower interest rates. This occurs when they are served by small banks, are geographically close to the lender, when the bank is adequately decentralized and when it is the dominant creditor of the firm. However, under certain circumstances, banks can extract rents from the borrower or be captured by him. In addition, the consequences and the future of relationship lending will be remarkably affected by the level of competition among banks, their ownership structure, the regulatory framework and the business model that banks will have to adopt accordingly
