Il presente lavoro esplora l’evoluzione del potere nella società contemporanea, analizzando la transizione dalla sorveglianza alla governamentalità algoritmica. L’autore discute come la rivoluzione digitale abbia trasformato ogni aspetto della vita umana in dati, dando origine a nuove forme di controllo sociale. Queste forme di controllo, basate su algoritmi e big data, sfidano le tradizionali nozioni di libertà, diritti e democrazia. Vengono esaminate le implicazioni di questo nuovo paradigma, inclusi i rischi di discriminazione algoritmica e la perdita di autonomia individuale. Infine, si considerano le possibilità di resistenza a questo potere diffuso e invisibile, proponendo nuove forme di soggettività e di lotta.

Oscillometry is a non-invasive technique that evaluates the mechanical properties of the respiratory system. While the technique is very simple and requires minimal patient cooperation, the underlying theory is complex. Oscillometry measures the impedance of the respiratory system, which consists of resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs). Recent recommendations have greatly simplified its interpretation. This technique has been applied in various fields and has recently proven particularly useful in the bronchodilation test, with standardized thresholds to define a significant response. Moreover, it is increasingly used in the diagnostic-therapeutic process of various respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, and others, thanks to its ease of execution and minimal cooperation required, although the results are not always easily interpretable. Despite its potential, oscillometry is not yet capable of replacing spirometry, but the two methods are complementary. Future research will need to further clarify the clinical interpretation of oscillometric results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reconstructs the role and functions of the Servizio informazioni of Florence’s Partito d’Azione, during the period from 1943 to the conclusion of WWII, through the analysis of numerous published and unpublished sources. During this crucial period, the information provided by the Servizio informazioni to the Allies was a valuable element in the strengthening of partisan institutions and their political legitimisation. However, after the liberation, the forces of the Servizio informazioni were redirected to observe the policies of the Communist Party. The analysis of this political body of the Pd’A sheds new light on the history of the Italian resistance during the WWII [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyzes the relationship between interpretation and construction, underlining the conjectural value of constructions. The author traces the Freudian conceptualization of interpretation and construction in relation to dreams, transference and resistance, which must be taken into consideration as a priority. The vision of the Kleinian school is also critically explored, specifically regarding the emphasis on the need to provide systematic transference interpretations, which tends to excessively personalize the transference, overriding its value of repetition of the past. Starting from the vision of the French school and Winnicott, it is underlined how the main task of the analytical work is to facilitate the transformation of instinctual impulses into representations to subsequently make them accessible to interpretation. Starting from the difference between interpretation and construction, emphasis is also placed on their different use in neurotic and non-neurotic structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This contribution intends to present the reflections and methodological reconsiderations that have arisen following a case of difficult management of a community memory. The episode is part of an investigation promoted in the municipality of Viola (Southern Piedmont) as part of the investigations promoted by the Atlante Toponomastico del Piemonte Montano. In Viola, a place name directly recalls a never shared nor pacified narration of a painful fact of bloodshed that occurred during the Resistance, a historical parenthesis that in the Casotto and Corsaglia Valleys, on the border between Piedmont and Liguria, was of considerable complexity.

Departing from the direct testimonies gathered in Afghanistan during over 20 years of fieldwork, the paper offers an overview of Afghan women's resistance, especially following the experience of the RAWA association, in their fight against all the oppressive regimes that have featured Afghanistan's history, from the resistance against the Red Army, to that against the United State’s and NATO invasion, to the restored Taliban regime. The paper, also, focuses on the struggles of the Afghan democratic resistance in the years of the Soviet occupation, which the A. personally witnessed in 1980.

Questo breve saggio, dopo aver accennato alle attività delle donne partigiane in generale e di Ada Gobetti e Renata Viganò in particolare, si soffermerà sulla scelta delle due scrittrici di raccontare nei loro due racconti “Si sentì più alto” di Gobetti (pubblicato nel 1952) e “La grande occasione” di Viganò (pubblicato nel 1976) il cambiamento di percezione dei protagonisti nei confronti della propria casa che, da spazio domestico di oppressione, diviene, al termine di entrambi racconti, luogo che accoglie la maturazione etica dei due protagonisti.

The project for the recovery of the Paraloup hamlet in Piedmont represents the possibility of bringing back to life an abandoned village. This experience also represents the enhancement and communication of one of the most intense pages of the history of our country, both for its value as document and for its anthropological and social interest. Paraloup is a small alpine village in the middle of the valley, composed of a group of stone houses, once linked to seasonal mountain pastures. The essay focuses on the recovery of the small, abandoned hamlet and the concrete results in terms of cultural, social, and economic aspects. Paraloup today is a living and repopulated reality in a mountain place that was a desert and a pile of rubble. For these results, the recovery of Paraloup has become famous in Europe and received many awards and honorable mentions. In 2018 the project was exhibited at the 16th Venice Biennial for the Italian Pavilion entitled “Italian Archipelago - Projects for the future of the country’s internal territories”. Un ritorno possibile: il caso della borgata Paraloup nelle Alpi occidentali Il progetto per il recupero della frazione Paraloup in Piemonte rappresenta la possibilità di riportare in vita un villaggio abbandonato. Questa esperienza mostra anche il processo di valorizzazione e comunicazione di una delle pagine più intense della storia del nostro Paese, sia per il suo valore come documento che per il suo interesse antropologico e sociale. Paraloup è un piccolo villaggio alpino al centro della valle, composto di un gruppo di case in pietra, un tempo legate ad alpeggi stagionali. Il saggio si concentra sul recupero del piccolo borgo abbandonato e i risultati concreti in termini di ricadute culturali, sociali ed economiche. Paraloup oggi è una realtà viva e ripopolata in un luogo di montagna prima deserto e ridotto in rovina. Per questi risultati, il recupero di Paraloup è diventato famoso in Europa e ha ricevuto molti premi e menzioni d'onore. Nel 2018 il progetto è stato esposto alla Sedicesima Venezia Biennale per il Padiglione Italia dal titolo “Arcipelago Italiano - Progetti per il futuro dei territori interni del Paese ".

The article intends to use Victor Šklovskij’s concept of estrangement as an interpretative key for the analysis of one of the most significant French texts of the immediate postwar period: Aucun de nous ne reviendra by Charlotte Delbo. In particular, the formal procedures used by Delbo in the novel’s introductory chapter to build up the Lager’s imagery are examined. The article assesses the peculiarity of Charlotte Delbo’s writing within the French and European concentration Holocaust literary landscape.

Il saggio analizza la produzione di Beppe Fenoglio e la sua continua ricerca volta alla ricerca del romanzo della resistenza, attraverso il filtro della sua indecisione delle sue rinunce. Si punta l'attenzione sulla prolificità di Fenoglio che scrive, riscrive, cancella, modifica, abbandona e riprende un testo dopo l'altro, cercando un qualcosa che da solo potesse testimoniare ai posteri la verità sulla Resistenza.

Respiratory muscle dysfunction is a common finding in patients with COPD, especially during exercise. The main cause of this dysfunction in COPD patients is the development of dynamic hyperinflation and associated intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi). In this condition, the diaphragm is subjected to a mechanical disadvantage due to the progressive shortening of its muscle fibers, and its force generation capacity is compromised. As a result, the normal balance of inspiratory muscles capacity/load is altered and this is associated with dyspnea and reduced exercise tolerance. It is important for a respiratory physiotherapist to monitor the respiratory muscle strength and endurance of the patients, in order to associate the results with possible objectives to work on (like reduction of respiratory limiting symptoms during exercise) with specific physiotherapy intervention, like strength and endurance inspiratory muscle training. Such monitoring will also have the purpose to verify the effectiveness of such interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The punk-rock band Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti (CSI) exemplifies a wider movement of musical memorialization of the World War II antifascist Resistenza in contemporary Italy. Considering music as communicative medium, affective experience and social practice hatched within networks of engaged citizenship, I probe its contribution to public debates about the Resistenza since the 1990s until today. Perspectives from memory studies, art history, critical historiography, and political philosophy assist me in elucidating through CSI's example how antifascist memories are creatively reformulated and reinterpreted in Italian popular music, such that the Resistenza comes to animate an interrogation of present inequalities and emancipatory struggles.

Attraverso l’analisi di due recenti romanzi (Il Romanzo della Nazione di Maurizio Maggiani, 2015 e Here I am di Jonathan Safran Foer, 2017), il contributo si propone di istituire un dialogo teorico fra due distinte categorie formali (il “modo” epico e il “genere “del romanzo di famiglia). È possibile, nell’epoca “ipermoderna” in cui viviamo, configurare una narrazione nazionale, mettendo in scena per via allegorica una soggettività collettiva, attraverso un genere così privato e catafratto, per definizione posto al di qua della Storia? Che specie di canto (o di controcanto) sortisce da un innesto in apparenza così incongruo? Through the analysis of two recent novels (Il Romanzo della Nazione by Maurizio Maggiani, 2015, and Here I am by Jonathan Safran Foer, 2017), this paper aims to establish a theoretical dialogue between two different formal categories (the epic mode and the family novel genre). In the “hypermodern” era we live in today, is it possible to build a national narrative, representing allegorically a collective subjectivity, through a genre which is so private and confined, put before history by definition? What kind of ‘melody’ (and ‘countermelody’) results from such an apparently incongruous graft?

The article focuses on the literary notes ("Verticale") prepared by Giacomo Debenedetti for «L’Unità» in the years 1946-1947, examining them both from the philological side (to attest the degree of reliability of the published texts and to clarify their relationship, on the one hand with the specimens provided by Debenedetti, and on the other with the «manuscripts» from which, as revealed by the author, they were cut out), and from the historical and exegetical side (to attest the specific weight that the «notes» have in the critical path and in the author's intellectual biography).

La mistica, come l’essere, si può dire in molti modi diversi e questi modi non possono essere presi in considerazione in maniera sistematica. Accostando autori non considerati mistici in senso proprio, si intende fornire qualche spunto di riflessione, mostrando come aspetti tradizionalmente considerati mistici, si possano trovare nei più diversi ambiti: scienza, filosofia, poesia, politica. Se questo livello del pensiero è indispensabile per non cedere alle pretese tiranniche della ragione analitica, è opportuno in ogni caso evitare di farne un mondo a parte che si nutre della propria diversità e del proprio orgoglio. Mysticism, as well as being, can be said in many different ways and these ways cannot be taken into account in a systematic way. By comparing authors not considered mystical in the proper sense, we intend to provide some ideas for reflection, showing how aspects traditionally considered mystical can be found in the most diverse contexts: science, philosophy, poetry, politics. If this level of thought is indispensable in order not to submit to the tyrannical claims of analytical reason, it is necessary in any case to avoid making it a separate world that is nourished by its own diversity and pride.

The volume by Giuseppe Filippetta represents an important step forward in the interpretation of the Italian Resistance, as it provides the readers with a new approach, which offers an innovative understanding of the civil war period. The author, who has a legal background, analyses the Resistance as a fight over sovereignty, adopting a point of view which has never been tried before. By using a wide range of sources - literature, memoirs, films -, he traces in the lives and actions of the partisans the origin of a novel conception of power and of the relationship between individuals and the State. In the post-war years, such a conception would give a key contribution to shaping the new democratic Constitution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this section we present and discuss two data bases which are supported by the National Parri Institute in Milan: The Piedmontese partisan movement and civil society (Cesare Panizza) and The data base of trials of fascists and collaborationists (Andrea Martini). They are two valuable resources for new studies on the Resistance and the Italian Social Republic (RSI), which need to be used carefully, with due attention paid to the specific nature of the resources and a methodological awareness of their limits.

Gillo Pontecorvo regista per il quale ogni progetto equivale a ricominciare da zero. Il suo atipico percorso di formazione rispetto alla maggior parte dei cineasti formatisi con il Neorealismo e affermatisi all’indomani del Dopoguerra. La scarsa attenzione critica e saggistica ricevuta in Italia. La trasversalità dell’opera di Pontecorvo, capace di esplorare orizzonti storici, geografici e antropologici estremamente lontani fra loro, e di dare vita a un autentico “cinema delle nazioni”. Cenni biografici, con un’attenzione particolare ai principali progetti non portati a termine tra un film e l’altro

On 8 September 1943, following the widespread surprise caused by the proclamation of the armistice, the flight of the reigning house and the disruption of the armed forces, every Italian citizen was called to decide whether to be loyal to the legitimate government which had moved to Brindisi or to the Republican Fascist movement which would have settled in Salò, whether to be allied to the old Anglo-American enemy or be an enemy to the old German ally. This article, concerning what happened in the days following the proclamation of the surrender, proposes a general reflection on the adjective ‘fascistissima’ given to the Royal Air Force and a specific reflection on the connection between the leading figures of the Air Force staff and the Fascism. For this purpose, specific documents contained in the 181 files composing the archive ‘Discriminati Gen’ kept at the Air Force Historical Archive will be analyzed.
