1. La construction de l’altérité par la « définition naturelle »

Abstract

Through his works, Celestino Testore gave an important reflection on the construction of otherness by the “natural definition”. The missionary discourse ends up confirming or invalidating, through the play of representation, the identity of the young protagonists. In order to understand the linguistic and cultural issues of missionary discourse in a given intercultural context, this article is centred on a corpus of 23 missionary narratives for youth. These texts – published in Quebec and edited by l’Apostolat de la Presse – present a classical ethnological approach for which the identification of the Other results in a closed network of meanings that use comparisons based on an ethno-centred perspective. However, in this kind of discourse we can also observe some unexpected signs of interculturality.

2. La traduction comme paradigme de la communication interculturelle

Intercultural communication. Mediation. Migrant Writer. Quebec literature.

Abstract

Marco Micone is among the most important French-speaking writers in Quebec. Through his works, he gave an important reflection on literature as a means of mediation and expression of intercultural communication. He also translated some classics of Italian literature. In our work, we intend to investigate how much the translation of Carlo Goldoni’s La Locandiera can become a paradigm through which to investigate the characteristics of intercultural communication. His Locandiera can be defined as a migrant translation, in the sense that, through it, its author expresses the complex approach to diversity and inclusion.

Abstract

Eminente francesista, Liana Nissim ha dedicato la sua intensa attività di ricerca al XIX secolo, in particolare a Gustave Flaubert e Stéphane Mallarmé. I suoi studi si sono concentrati anche sulle letterature francofone dell’Africa Nera e del Québec, che ha contribuito a introdurre in Italia e a diffondere su scala internazionale. Questo trittico di volumi «La grâce de montrer son âme dans le vêtement». Scrivere di tessuti, abiti e accessori illustra e approfondisce in molteplici direzioni una tematica a lei cara e ampiamente presente nei suoi lavori. Tramite la ricchezza delle metodologie e delle prospettive critiche, la comunità scientifica che ha condiviso con lei la passione per la ricerca e la dedizione alla vita universitaria vuole renderle un omaggio riconoscente.

8. Da una lingua all’altra. I costumi e gli accessori di scena nel teatro di Marco Micone

Abstract

Teatro migrante, l’opera drammaturgica di Marco Micone ha messo in scena costumi ed accessori che si caricano di una valenza che rinvia alla cultura d’origine offerta allo sguardo dello spettatore quebecchese. Essi appaiono come segni di un’identità che incontra un’alterità alla ricerca di un’accoglienza. L’opera prima, Gens du silence, declinata nelle sue tre versioni del 1982, del 1991 e del 1996, mostra, infatti, come l’uso dei costumi di scena risponda ad una esigenza di rappresentazione ...

Abstract

Nel maggio del 2016 il Centro di Studi Linguistico-Culturali, Ricerca – Prassi – Formazione (CeSLiC) del Dipartimento di Lingue, Letterature e Culture Moderne dell’Università di Bologna ha promosso una Giornata di studi sul tema “Il testo letterario nell’apprendimento linguistico: Esperienze a confronto”. Scopo dell’iniziativa era quello di avviare una riflessione interdisciplinare sul ruolo del testo letterario nello sviluppo delle competenze linguistico-culturali, nella convinzione che, come scrive Hasan (1989 [1985]: 91), “nell’arte verbale il ruolo della lingua è centrale. […] la lingua non è come l’abbigliamento per il corpo, ma è il corpo stesso”. La Giornata ha visto la partecipazione di relatrici e relatori provenienti da scuola e università, i quali hanno illustrato diverse proposte e modelli di analisi e uso del testo letterario, partendo dalle proprie esperienze di insegnamento e ricerca. Ne è nato uno scambio intenso e fecondo, da cui sono emersi stimoli e idee utili tanto dal punto di vista didattico quanto da quello della riflessione scientifica. Il presente volume raccoglie nove interventi presentati e discussi in quell’occasione.

Abstract

In human, OCTN2 (SLC22A5) and ATB0,+ (SLC6A14) transporters mediate the uptake of L-carnitine, essential for the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria and the subsequent degradation by β-oxidation. Aim of the present study was to characterize L-carnitine transport in EpiAirway™, a 3D organotypic in vitro model of primary human tracheal-bronchial epithelial cells that form a fully differentiated, pseudostratified columnar epithelium at air-liquid interface (ALI) condition. In parallel, Calu-3 monolayers grown at ALI for different times (8d or 21d of culture) were used as comparison. OCTN2 transporter was equally expressed in both models and functional at the basolateral side. ATB0,+ was, instead, highly expressed and active on the apical membrane of EpiAirway™ and only in early-cultures of Calu-3 (8d but not 21d ALI). In both cell models, L-carnitine uptake on the apical side was significantly inhibited by the bronchodilators glycopyrrolate and tiotropium, that hence can be considered substrates of ATB0,+; ipratropium was instead effective on the basolateral side, indicating its interaction with OCTN2. Inflammatory stimuli, such as LPS or TNFα, caused an induction of SLC6A14/ATB0,+ expression in Calu-3 cells, along with a 2-fold increase of L-carnitine uptake only at the apical side; on the contrary SLC22A5/OCTN2 was not affected. As both OCTN2 and ATB0,+, beyond transporting L-carnitine, have a significant potential as delivery systems for drugs, the identification of these transporters in EpiAirway™ can open new fields of investigation in the study of drug inhalation and pulmonary delivery.

Abstract

A series of carbamides derived from 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-gluco- and D-allofuranose as well as their 5,6-O-deprotected analogues (2 and 4) and methyl 3,4-O-isopropylidene-alpha- and beta-D-galactopyranosides (5 and 6) have been prepared in order to evaluate their ability to induce erythroid differentiation of human erythroleukemic K562 cells. Twenty out of 51 carbamides tested exhibit an appreciable activity as inducers of erythroid differentiation and have been fully characterized and described.

26. Human macrophage differentiation induces OCTN2–mediated L-carnitine transport through stimulation of mTOR–STAT3 axis

Author

Abstract

Monocyte-to-macrophages differentiation associates with upregulation of carnitine transport due to mTOR-dependent activation of STAT3. l-Carnitine, in addition to playing a fundamental role in the ß-oxidation of fatty acids, has been recently identified as a modulator of immune function, although the mechanisms that underlie this role remain to be clarified. In this study, we addressed the modulation of l-carnitine transport and expression of related transporters during differentiation of human monocytes to macrophages. Whereas monocytes display a modest uptake of l-carnitine, GM-CSF–induced differentiation massively increased the saturable Na+-dependent uptake of l-carnitine. Kinetic and inhibition analyses demonstrate that in macrophage l-carnitine transport is mediated by a high-affinity component (Km~4 µM) that is identifiable with the operation of OCTN2 transporter and a low-affinity component (Km> 10 mM) that is identifiable with system A for neutral amino acids. Consistently, both SLC22A5/OCTN2 and SLC38A2/SNAT2 are induced during the differentiation of monocytes to macrophages at gene and protein levels. Elucidation of GM-CSF signaling demonstrates that the cytokine causes the activation of mTOR kinase, leading to the phosphorylation and activation of STAT3, which, in turn, is responsible for OCTN2 transcription. SLC22A5/OCTN2 therefore emerges as a novel member of the set of genes markers of macrophage differentiation.

Abstract

L'articolo analizza le onomatopee presenti nell'opera di Louis-Ferdinand Céline, rilevandone il ruolo fondamentale nel costruire la "chronique du réel". Viene così dimostrato come l'intera opera del controverso scrittore francese possa essere definita una "oto-fiction".
