Echoes of Authenticity in the Voices of Belfast

By: Barbara Gabriella Renzi

This book dives deep into the heart of Belfast, a city of contrasts and resilience. In this exploration, tales of real experiences and threads of imagination are woven together. From Angela’s struggles in a city where faces like hers are rare, to Amina’s hope for her children’s future and the Chinese family confronting prejudice, each story paints a vivid portrait of life in this ever-evolving city. The book takes a journey through encounters with love, conflict, acceptance, and the relentless spirit of the people who call Belfast home. Whether you’re a local seeking to understand your city’s layered tapestry or a newcomer eager to grasp Belfast’s essence, this book offers a poignant, honest gaze into its soul.

The Space of Memory

Language and Culture of Portocannone, a Small Albanian Village in Italy. Gjaku Jonë i Shëprishur (The Albanian Diaspora)

By: Barbara Gabriella Renzi

“In 2000, two linguistic endangerment experts, Nettle and Romaine, estimated that among the world’s 6000 languages, only about 600 could be considered safe today. Arbëresh, the language that Barbara Renzi and Elsa Musacchio present to the readers in this volume, is one of those languages in danger of dying, recognized as such in UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger (2010). The great value of this volume is not limited to the preservation and analysis of cultural heritage through the tales, stories and songs included in it, but also in recording the authentic sound of the Arbëresh language that comes to life in Elsa’s voice as she reads the collected material on a special CD. The availability of this authentic voice to future generations of younger speakers of Arbëresh makes the volume a practical linguistic and cultural tool. And the best service we can pay to courageous works like this is to bring them to young speakers in their schools, without which Arbëresh and other endangered languages have a very small chance of survival.” – Eda Derhemi (PhD), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Evolutionary Analogies

Is the Process of Scientific Change Analogous to the Organic Change?

By: Giulio Napolitano,Barbara Gabriella Renzi

“Advocates of the evolutionary analogy claim that mechanisms governing scientific change are analogous to those at work in organic evolution – above all, natural selection. By referring to the works of the most influential proponents of evolutionary analogies (Toulmin, Campbell, Hull and, most notably, Kuhn) the authors discuss whether and to what extent their use of the analogy is appropriate. A careful and often illuminating perusal of the theoretical scope of the terms employed, as well as of the varying contexts within which the analogy is appealed to in contemporary debates, leads to the conclusion that such general theories of selective processes are either too sketchy or eventually not persuasive, if not altogether based on flawed views of evolutionary biology. By clarifying what is at stake, the analysis carried out in the book sheds new light on one of the dominant theories of scientific progress. It also invites criticism, of course – but that is the very fuel of philosophical confrontation.” – Stefano Gattei, IMT Institute for Advanced Studies, Lucca “This book presents a serious challenge to those, like David Hull, who seek to model scientific change as an evolutionary process. The authors point out that although there are similarities between the processes of scientific change and organic evolution, the dissimilarities present formidable difficulties to construing the relation as anything more than a weak analogy. Their argument employs what they call a ‘type hierarchical’ approach that promises to be a powerful tool for the classification of similarities between theories in all fields.” – Michael Bradie, Department of Philosophy, Bowling Green State University “This is a most interesting discussion of the analogy between biological and scientific change. Particularly commendable is the close attention paid to the thinking of the late David Hull and his pathbreaking work on this issue.” – Michael Ruse, History and Philosophy of Science, Florida State University

Star voices

By: Renzi Barbara Gabriella

Star voices This book is a collection of short stories, narrating everyday tales of depression, loneliness and anxiety but also revealing the beauty of being who you are, the importance of overcoming obstacles and growing. If one of the oldest myths tells us the story of Odysseus, here we are rediscover what the ancient myths forgot to pass on: the intrepid and courageous woman Odyssey who, in these pages, has become a mythical character that exists in each of us. Our lives are a journey of discovery and growth: the beauty of life does not lie in not finding obstacles but in overcoming them; at least that is what "Miciastella", a star who has been observing the lives of women on Earth for centuries, tells us.
