Isula d'Anima / Soul Island

Patrizia Gattaceca

Three Rooms Press
2012
pokkari
The first bilingual (Corsican-English) poetry collection of native Corsican Patrizia Gattaceca. Well-known worldwide as a singer-songwriter, active in the Reacquistu (the Corsican cultural revival movement), and founder, with Patrizia Poli of the female polyphonic singing trio Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Courses, Gattaceca's poetry is remarkable: imagery of moons and mountains and sea and underneath it all, the taut sensation of loss and sorrow, the heartfelt exploration of the loneliness of the human condition, and, as her poetic teacher and mentor Ghjacumu Thiers describes, "the infinite within the finite." Throughout her poetry, echoes are heard of Gattaceca's modest and humanitarian nature. By publishing Isulu d'anima/Soul Island, we pay homage to a truly remarkable modern woman, her exquisite poetic voice, her language and the culture that continues to thrive and inspire.

Lexical Innovation in World Englishes

Lexical Innovation in World Englishes

Patrizia Anesa

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
nidottu
Winner of the 2020 ESSE Book Award in English Language and LinguisticsLexical Innovation in World Englishes contributes to the investigation of World Englishes by offering insights into the lexical developments of selected English varieties and their cross-fertilization potential. Taking a theoretical and empirical approach and focusing on neological formations, this book:discusses and problematizes different categorizations of English varieties and processes of word formation, considering the expansion of English across the world; draws on authentic examples taken from language corpora to gain a finer understanding of the varieties’ transformations and of their reciprocal influences from a lexical perspective;aims to validate general considerations on the lexical features of these varieties of English and test them using corpora.Including eight empirical case studies, this innovative text shows the importance of investigating lexical developments to observe the evolution of a variety while arguing for the need to go beyond a purely structuralist approach and to include a broader discursive and sociological perspective. Lexical Innovation in World Englishes is key reading for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of World Englishes and language varieties.

Performance Measurement in Non-Profit Organizations

Performance Measurement in Non-Profit Organizations

Patrizia Gazzola; Stefano Amelio

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
Performance Measurement in Non-Profit Organizations: The Road to Integrated Reporting addresses the issue of performance measurement in nonprofit companies with the aim of defining a system of useful measures to understand, manage, and improve the performance of such companies by employing systems theory to examine their conditions of existence and manifestations of life. From the proposed company model follows that the system of performance measures should make it possible to keep under control both the productive transformation, with the physical-technical efficiency indicators, and the economic transformation, with the economic efficiency indicators, and the financial transformation with the financial efficiency indicators, and finally the managerial transformation with the effectiveness indicators, taking into account the degree of satisfaction of the expectations of the main categories of company stakeholders.Readers will understand that economic analysis alone is not sufficient to assess the performance of such organizations, but it is necessary to unite it with the analysis of sustainability dimensions. It would therefore be appropriate to draw up an integrated report that combines the economic and financial dimensions with the pillars of sustainability, as in the case of companies in the second sector. There is a gap in the literature in this area that this book aims to fill, making it a valuable resource to researchers, academics, and advanced students interested in performance evaluation of NPOs.

Audiovisual Translation in the GenAI Age

Audiovisual Translation in the GenAI Age

Patrizia Giampieri; Vanessa Leonardi

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
sidottu
This book explores the ever-evolving landscape of automated audiovisual translation (AVT), charting the challenges and opportunities around dubbing and subtitling in the age of GenAI. The volume first briefly lays out foundational characteristics of human dubbing and subtitling before moving into a discussion of the hallmarks of AI-driven dubbing and subtitling. Giampieri and Leonardi discuss the most recent advancements in automated audiovisual translation to set the stage for examining these dynamics at work in case studies from translator training to legal and medical domains. Chapters look at such examples as AI-powered voice-over and subtitling in an Italian film extract, cross-comparison of the dubbing of a contract reading across different automated voice-over platforms, and a cross-comparison of automatic captions and fansubbed titles in a medical lecture. While such examples focus on particular domains, registers, and contacts, they elucidate fresh insights into the analysis, developments, and challenges around automated AVT across different contexts, paving the way for future research amidst further developments around GenAI’s role in audiovisual translation more broadly. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in translation studies, as well as key stakeholders in translator training and active translators in specialized domains.

Italian Psychology and Jewish Emigration under Fascism

Italian Psychology and Jewish Emigration under Fascism

Patrizia Guarnieri

Palgrave Macmillan
2016
sidottu
Fascism and the racial laws of 1938 dramatically changed the scientific research and the academic community. Guarnieri focuses on psychology, from its promising origins to the end of the WWII. Psychology was marginalized in Italy both by the neo-idealistic reaction against science, and fascism (unlike Nazism) with long- lasting consequences. Academics and young scholars were persecuted because they were antifascist or Jews and the story of Italian displaced scholars is still an embarrassing one. The book follows scholars who emigrated to the United States, such as psychologist Renata Calabresi, and to Palestine, such as Enzo Bonaventura. Guarnieri traces their journey and the help they received from antifascist and Zionist networks and by international organizations. Some succeeded, some did not, and very few went back.

Church and Censorship in Eighteenth-Century Italy

Church and Censorship in Eighteenth-Century Italy

Patrizia Delpiano

Routledge
2017
sidottu
Dealing with the issue of ecclesiastical censorship and control over reading and readers, this study challenges the traditional view that during the eighteenth century the Catholic Church in Italy underwent an inexorable decline. It reconstructs the strategies used by the ecclesiastical leadership to regulate the press and culture during a century characterized by important changes, from the spread of the Enlightenment to the creation of a state censorship apparatus. Based on the archival records of the Roman Inquisition and the Congregation of the Index of Forbidden Books preserved in the Vatican, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the Catholic Church’s endeavour to keep literature and reading in check by means of censorship and the promotion of a "good" press.The crisis of the Inquisition system did not imply a general diminution of the Church’s involvement in controlling the press. Rather than being effective instruments of repression, the Inquisition and the Index combined to create an ideological apparatus to resist new ideas and to direct public opinion. This was a network mainly inspired by Counter-Enlightenment principles which would go on to influence the Church’s action well beyond the eighteenth century.This book is an English translation of Il governo della lettura: Chiesa e libri nell’Italia del Settecento (Bologna: Il Mulino, 2007).

It Takes Two

It Takes Two

Patrizia Chen

Scribner Book Company
2013
nidottu
Francesca Rivabuona is fifty and exhausted by the monotony of her life. Stuck in a stale marriage with grown children who have long since fled the coop, and desperate to escape the endless cycle of Upper East Side dinner parties and charity luncheons, she jumps at the chance to write an article about Buenos Aires for a glossy travel magazine. Francesca is instantly captivated by Buenos Aires's palpable rhythm. She explores the city with her new friends--a group of tango dancers who give her an insider's scoop into the best Buenos Aires has to offer--and rediscovers the sense of passion and excitement she thought she had relinquished forever. As Francesca learns to master the sensual movements of tango dancing, she begins to let down her guard--on the dance floor, in the bedroom, and in her personal life. Embarking on a steamy love affair with Argentina's most famous plastic surgeon, she knows that she has been irrevocably transformed by the pulsing, erotic thrill of life in Argentina. At once a tale of a middle-aged woman taking a stand against the disappointments of her life and a sexy, fast-paced, entertaining novel about the ecstasy of tango dancing, It Takes Two reads like a soulful tango: irresistible, exotic, and sensual.
