Gender, Discourse and Ideology in Italian

By: Federica Formato

This book analyses gendered language in Italian, shedding light on how the Italian language constructs and reproduces the social imbalance between women and men, and presenting indirect and direct instances of asymmetrical constructions of gender in public and private roles. The author examines linguistic treatments of women in politics and the media, as well as the gendered crime of femminicidio, i.e. the killing of women by their (former) partners. Through the combination of corpus linguistics, surveys, and discourse analysis, she establishes a new approach to the study of gendered Italian, a framework which can be applied to other languages and epistemological sites. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of sociolinguistics, language and gender, discourse analysis, Italian and other Romance languages.

Research and Professional Practice in Specialised Translation

By: Federica Scarpa

Specialised translation has received very little attention from academic researchers, but in fact accounts for the bulk of professional translation on a global scale and is taught in a growing number of university-level translation programmes. This book aims to provide three things. Firstly, it offers a description of what makes the approach to specialised translation distinctive from wider-ranging approaches to Translation Studies adopted by translation scholars and applied linguists. Secondly, unlike the traditional approach to specialised translation, this book explores a perspective on specialised translation that is much less focused on terminology and more on the function and reception of specialised (translated) texts. Finally, the author outlines a professionally-oriented hands-on approach to the teaching of specialised translation resulting from many years of teaching it to MA students. The book will be of interest to Translation Studies students and scholars, as well as professional translators who are interested in the theory on which their activity is based.

Photography and Modern Icons

The Visual Planning of Myth

By: Federica Muzzarelli

This volume analyzes how six protagonists of culture, between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, built their media image by exploiting the innovations brought about by the invention of photography. By exalting the cult of personality, eccentric narcissism and the nascent mass communication, they made the photographic portrait the tool through which they could become celebrities and, at the same time, found fashion and clothing styles that are still of reference today. From De Mérode’s stereotype of beauty to Baudelaire’s total black dandyism, and from Schwarzenbach’s lesbian-chic style to Nijinsky’s eroticizing exoticism, the book provides detailed insights into the life and work of various protagonists, always keeping in the background the cultural and artistic context of European Modernism. It will particularly appeal to scholars and students of contemporary art, the history of photography, fashion studies and mass communications.

International trade and climate change: part of the problem or part of the solution?

By: Cecilia Nardi,Davide Consoli,Elena Paglialunga,Federica Cappelli,Giovanni Marin,Ilaria Fusacchia,Luca Salvatici,Valeria Costantini

La relazione tra commercio e cambiamento climatico è molto complessa e le interazioni tra i due fenomeni si manifestano in molteplici modi. I meccanismi sono sia diretti che indiretti e le caratteristiche globali degli impatti sul clima e le relative responsabilità incrementano le difficoltà interne al dibattito politico. A tal fine, una profonda conoscenza dei collegamenti tra settori e regioni come così come tra diversi livelli decisionali, è un prerequisito per gli esercizi di valutazione delle politiche climatiche e/o commerciali.

Il coraggio di restare

By: Federica Paccaferri

“Ho conosciuto Federica Paccaferri in tribunale, a Macerata, nella cittadina che il 29 gennaio del 2018 è stata teatro di uno dei delitti più efferati del nostro tempo: l’omicidio, il depezzamento, il vilipendio e l’occultamento del cadavere dell’allora diciottenne romana Pamela Mastropietro, ad opera del pusher Innocent Oseghale. Sono stata consulente di parte della famiglia della vittima e, benché sia alquanto avvezza a casi efferati, di fronte a quello di Macerata, per ovvi motivi, ero obiettivamente attonita. Quando ho visto l’interprete, nella persona di Federica, sedere accanto all’imputato, a pochissimi centimetri da lui, anzi, praticamente attaccata a lui, per rendere possibile lo svolgimento della traduzione, ho provato una sorta di tenerezza. Da questa esperienza nasce il racconto di tutte le emozioni che hanno abitato la mente dell’interprete per la durata del processo, che Federica, a mio avviso, descrive in maniera esemplare. Per questo il ruolo in assoluto più controverso credo l’abbia avuto proprio lei, per non parlare dell’aggravante del lutto (con la morte del padre) che l’ha colpita all’indomani dell’accettazione dell’incarico. Ciò che ha fatto di Federica una donna intraprendente è stata la perseveranza nel procedere in un momento della sua vita in cui forse avrebbe volentieri abbandonato la sedia accanto all’imputato, per lasciare il posto al silenzio e al raccoglimento. È un libro appassionato, accorato, un vero appello al coraggio e alla forza di non mollare mai, nemmeno di fronte alle sfide più insormontabili. Un libro pieno di speranza, di amore, quell’amore indescrivibile per un padre tramutato nel coraggio di fronteggiare qualsiasi avversità. Un invito a non fuggire il dolore anche quando questo sembra letteralmente lacerare. Un inno alla vita, alla passione e all’umanità, malgrado tutto.” Roberta Bruzzone (Criminologa)

Poteri signorili e feudali nelle campagne dell'Italia settentrionale fra Tre e Quattrocento

fondamenti di legittimità e forme di esercizio : atti del Convegno di studi, Milano, 11-12 aprile 2003

By: Federica Cengarle,Giorgio Chittolini,Gian Maria Varanini

This volume contains the proceedings of the study convention held in Milan on 11 and 12 April 2003. The objective of these study days was to address the question of the powers of lordship which were exercised in the countryside of central-northern Italy between the mid fourteenth century and the end of the fifteenth century. The discussions focused on what instruments and what foundations of legitimacy these same powers had and what was their relationship with the authority of the prince and with the ordinary citizen, on the one hand, and with the community and the homines on the other. These and various other issues thrown up by the study of feudal power are the topics which emerge in the various contributions gathered in this volume, devoted principally to the Lombardy of the Visconti and the Sforza, but also to other areas of Italy.

Feminism, Corpus-assisted Research and Language Inclusivity

By: Federica Formato

This Element presents an investigation into the use of the gender inclusive strategy schwa in a corpus of tweets; the schwa is employed in Italian to overcome grammatical (feminine and masculine) morphological inflections, having at its core linguistic and social binarism. The investigation is set in a country where LGBTQIA communities still face institutional discrimination, yet it is contextualised in the growing work on inclusivity discussed in languages and contexts worldwide. The corpus is examined quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as read through a triangulation of two frameworks: Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies and Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis. The findings, obtained from corpus-assisted research and digital ethnography, show that the new linguistic strategy is used creatively, functionally, and not exclusively as a self-representation tool but is also a viable and powerful replacement for generic sexist language.
