Creators: name: -, maliki
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Gamification elements provide apersonal drive to urge user experience, emotion, fun, and engagement, positively or negatively. These gamification elements may have been unintentionally employed through the designand implementation process of social media platforms to encourage users’ behaviour towards misinformation sharing. This study intends to answer the subsequent question” What are the mostly used gamification elements that could possibly encourage users to share misinformation on social media platforms?”. The study empirically investigates the usage of gamification elements and their relation to U&G theory with 286 participants. The results indicated that gamification elements usage scored high with regard to the self-expression perspective (frequency=216), as well as the interaction & collaborations perspective (frequency=198). whereas, the information seeking perspective scored low (frequency=59) and leaderboard were the least usage(frequency=43). The results may be useful to guide software engineering, developers, GUI specialists to cater for design elements settings and their possible negative effects in social media contexts.

description: This paper proposes a novel approach for speech signal prediction based on a recurrent neural network (RNN). Unlike existing RNN-based predictors, which operate on parametric features and are trained offline on a large collection of such features, the proposed predictor operates directly on speech samples and is trained online on the recent past of the speech signal. Optionally, the network can be pre-trained offline to speed-up convergence at start-up. The proposed predictor is a single end-to-end network that captures all sorts of dependencies between samples, and therefore has the potential to outperform classical linear/non-linear and short-term/long-term speech predictor structures. We apply it to the packet loss concealment (PLC) problem and show that it outperforms the standard ITU G.711 Appendix I PLC technique.

description: We make a more general determination of the inflationary observables in the standard 4-D and 5-D single-field inflationary scenarios, by the exact reconstruction of the dynamics of the inflation potential during the observable inflation with minimal number of assumptions: the computation does not assume the slow-roll approximation and is valid in all regimes if the field is monotonically rolling down its potential. Making use of the {\em Hamilton-Jacobi} formalism developed for the 5-D single-field inflation model,we compute the scale dependence of the amplitudes of the scalarand tensor perturbations by integrating the exact mode equation. We analyze the implications of the theoretical uncertainty in the determination of the reheating temperature after inflation on the observable predictions of inflation and evaluate its impact on the degeneracy of the standard inflation consistency relation.

description: For a graph $G$ and integer $k\geq1$, we define the token graph $F_k(G)$ to be the graph with vertex set all $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_k(G)$ whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in $G$. Thus vertices of $F_k(G)$ correspond to configurations of $k$ indistinguishable tokens placed at distinct vertices of $G$, where two configurations are adjacent whenever one configuration can be reached from the other by moving one token along an edge from its current position to an unoccupied vertex. This paper introduces token graphs and studies some of their properties including: connectivity, diameter, cliques, chromatic number, Hamiltonian paths, and Cartesian products of token graphs.

description: We report on the experimental observation of Feshbach resonances in large mass-imbalance mixtures of Erbium (Er) and Lithium (Li). All combinations between ${}^{168}$Er, ${}^{166}$Er and ${}^7$Li, ${}^6$Li are cooled to temperatures of a few microkelvin, partially by means of sympathetic cooling together with Ytterbium (Yb) as a third mixture component. The Er-Li inelastic interspecies collisional properties are studied for magnetic fields up to 680 G. In all cases resonant interspecies loss features, indicative of Feshbach resonances, have been observed. While most resonances have sub-Gauss widths, a few of them are broad and feature widths of several Gauss. Those broad resonances are a key to the realization of ultracold Er-Li quantum gas mixtures with tunable interactions.

description: Introduction: Osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) is a disease affecting the subchondral bone and the overlying articular cartilage. The etiology is most likely a combination of biological and mechanical factors. The incidence is highest in children >12 years old and it predominantly affects the knee. In high-grade OCD lesions, free osteochondral fragments usually are refixed via titanium screws or biodegradable screws or pins. In this case, headless compression screws made from magnesium were used for refixation. Case report: A thirteen-year-old female patient with a two-year history of knee pain was diagnosed with an OCD lesion of the medial femoral condyle. After initial conservative treatment, displacement of the osteochondral fragment occurred. Refixation was performed using two headless magnesium compression screws. At the 6 months follow up, the patient was pain free, and the fragment showed progressive healing while the implants were biodegrading. Discussion: Existing implants for refixation of OCD lesions either require subsequent removal or show less stability and possible inflammatory reactions. The new generation of magnesium screws used in this case did not lead to a gas release, as described for previous magnesium implants, while maintaining stability during continuous biodegradation. Conclusions: The data available to date on magnesium implants for the treatment of OCD are promising. However, the evidence on the magnesium implants in refixation surgery of OCD lesions is still limited. Further research needs to be conducted to provide data on outcomes and possible complications.

description: We calculate the magnetic phase diagram of the Hubbard model for a Bethe lattice with nearest neighbour (NN) hopping $t_1$ and next nearest neighbour (NNN) hopping $t_2$ in the limit of infinite coordination. We use the amplitude $t_2/t_1$ of the NNN hopping to tune the density of states (DOS) of the non-interacting system from a situation with particle-hole symmetry to an asymmetric one with van-Hove singularities at the lower ($t_2/t_1>0$) respectively upper ($t_2/t_1<0$) band edge for large enough $|t_2/t_1|$. For this strongly asymmetric situation we find rather extended parameter regions with ferromagnetic states and regions with antiferromagnetic states.

description: Next generation radio observatories such as the MWA, LWA, LOFAR, CARMA and SKA provide a number of challenges for interferometric data analysis. These challenges include heterogeneous arrays, direction-dependent instrumental gain, and refractive and scintillating atmospheric conditions. From the analysis perspective, this means that calibration solutions can not be described using a single complex gain per antenna. In this paper we use the optimal map-making formalism developed for CMB analyses to extend traditional interferometric radio analysis techniques--removing the assumption of a single complex gain per antenna and allowing more complete descriptions of the instrumental and atmospheric conditions. Due to the similarity with holographic mapping of radio antenna surfaces, we call this extended analysis approach software holography. The resulting analysis algorithms are computationally efficient, unbiased, and optimally sensitive. We show how software holography can be used to solve some of the challenges of next generation observations, and how more familiar analysis techniques can be derived as limiting cases.

Studies on histone modification and chromatin structure in developing trout testi
Creators: name: Honda, Barry M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: During spermatogenesis in rainbow trout, a synchronous development of stem cells → spermatocytes → spermatids → mature sperm occurs, with replacement of the histones in chromatin by protamines. PART A: Histone methylation. Along with histone acetylation and phosphorylation, methylation of specific lysyl residues of histones H3 and H4 can be observed. This histone methylation occurs predominantly in the large diploid stem cells and primary spermatocytes, which actively synthesize DNA and histones. In spermatids, histone methylation is minimal and so probably has no role in the replacement of histones by protamine. Other labelling experiments suggest that histone H4 methylation is a late event in the cell cycle, occurring after the synthesis, acetylation and deacetylation of histone H4. This methylation may be necessary for histone phosphorylation or chromatin condensation prior to cell division. PART B: Chromatin subunit structure. When a sample of trout testis nuclei is digested with micrococcal nuclease, the DNA is cleaved almost entirely to discrete fragments approximately 200 base pairs long and multiples thereof. The same DNA fragments can be obtained when isolated chromatin, as opposed to intact nuclei, is nuclease digested. These DNA fragments can also be found in discrete chromatin "subunits" isolated from nuclease-digested nuclei. Sedimentation through sucrose gradients, or velocity sedimentation in an analytical ultracentrifuge separates these chromatin subunits into 11S (monomer), 16S (dimer), 22S (trimer) etc. species. Subunits can also be fractionated on a Sepharose 2B column equilibrated and run in low salt. High salt (>40 mM NaCl) or divalent cations (≃5 mM) cause subunit precipitation. Chromatin subunits have a protein:DNA ratio of approximately 1.2 and contain all the histones, including the trout-specific histone H6. There are however no detectable nonhistone chromosomal proteins. Mg⁺⁺ precipitates of the 11S chromatin monomers, when pelleted, are thin and clear, while oligomer Mg⁺⁺ pellets are thick and white. This could reflect a more symmetrical or ordered packing of 11S monomers, which are deficient in histone Hi. This histone may crosslink the larger oligomers, resulting in a disordered Mg⁺⁺ complex. These results are consistent with the subunit model of chromatin structure, based on 200 base pair long regions of DNA associated with histones. These subunits would be separated by nuclease-sensitive DNA spacer regions, and crosslinked by histone Hi. Testis consisting predominantly of early spermatids (meiotic tissue, containing mainly nucleohistone) gives similar yields of DNA fragments and 11S subunits. Later stage testis (protamine has replaced the histones) however, gives no DNA fragments or 11S subunits. This presumably reflects large differences in structure between nucleoprotamine and nucleohistone.

description: The groundbreaking image of the black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy has raised questions at the intersection of observational astronomy and black hole physics. How well can the radius of a black hole shadow can be measured, and can this measurement be used to distinguish general relativity from other theories of gravity? We explore these questions using a simple spherical flow model in general relativity, scalar Gauss--Bonnet gravity, and the Rezzolla and Zhidenko parameterized metric. We assume an optically thin plasma with power-law emissivity in radius. Along the way we present a generalized Bondi flow as well as a piecewise-analytic model for the brightness profile of a cold inflow. We use the second moment of a synthetic image as a proxy for EHT observables and compute the ratio of the second moment to the radius of the black hole shadow. We show that corrections to this ratio from modifications to general relativity are subdominant compared to corrections to the critical impact parameter, and argue that this is generally true. We find that astrophysical model parameters are the dominant source of uncertainty in this calculation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the astrophysical model. Given a sufficiently accurate astrophysical model, however, it is possible using measurements of the black hole shadow to distinguish between general relativity and other theories of gravity.

description: Using recently developed quantum SU(2)xU(1) rotor approach, that provides a self-consistent treatment of the antiferromagnetic state we have performed electronic spectral function calculations for the Hubbard model on the square lattice. The collective variables for charge and spin are isolated in the form of the space-time fluctuating U(1) phase field and rotating spin quantization axis governed by the SU(2) symmetry, respectively. As a result interacting electrons appear as composite objects consisting of bare fermions with attached U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields. This allows us to write the fermion Green's function in the space-time domain as the product CP^1 propagator resulting from the SU(2) gauge fields, U(1) phase propagator and the pseudo-fermion correlation function. As a result the problem of calculating the spectral line shapes now becomes one of performing the convolution of spin, charge and pseudo-fermion Green's functions. The collective spin and charge fluctuations are governed by the effective actions that are derived from the Hubbard model for any value of the Coulomb interaction. The emergence of a sharp peak in the electron spectral function in the antiferromagnetic state indicates the decay of the electron into separate spin and charge carrying particle excitations.

description: Infrared emission features at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.2 $μ$m, attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, show variations in relative intensity, shape, and peak position. These variations depend on the physical conditions of the photodissociation region (PDR) in which strong PAH emission arises, but their relationship has yet to be fully quantified. We aim to better calibrate the response of PAH species to their environment using observations with matching apertures and spatial resolution. We present observations from the Field-Imaging Far-Infrared Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS) on board the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) of the gas cooling lines [OI] 63, 146 $μ$m and [CII] 158 $μ$m in the reflection nebula NGC 1333 and use archival dust continuum observations from the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) on board Herschel. We employ PDR modelling to derive the physical conditions and compare these with the characteristics of the PAH emission as observed with the Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) on board Spitzer. We find distinct spatial characteristics for the various PAH spectral components. We conclude that the ionic bands (6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.0) and the 7-9 $μ$m emission are due to multiple PAH sub-populations and that the plateaus are distinct from the features perched on top. The 6-9 $μ$m PAH emission exhibit a significant change in behaviour between the irradiated PDR and diffuse outskirts, confirming these bands arise from multiple PAH sub-populations with different underlying molecular properties. We find multiple promising relationships between PAH ratios and the FUV radiation field strength but no clear correlations with the PAH ionization parameter.

description: We study structural and thermophysical properties of a one-dimensional classical fluid made of penetrable spheres interacting via an attractive square-well potential. Penetrability of the spheres is enforced by reducing from infinite to finite the repulsive energy barrier in the pair potentials As a consequence, an exact analytical solution is lacking even in one dimension. Building upon previous exact analytical work in the low-density limit [Santos \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. E \text{77}, 051206 (2008)], we propose an approximate theory valid at any density and in the low-penetrable regime. By comparison with specialized Monte Carlo simulations and integral equation theories, we assess the regime of validity of the theory. We investigate the degree of inconsistency among the various routes to thermodynamics and explore the possibility of a fluid-fluid transition. Finally we locate the dependence of the Fisher-Widom line on the degree of penetrability. Our results constitute the first systematic study of penetrable spheres with attractions as a prototype model for soft systems.

description: We construct a fully self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory that describes a spinless Fermi gas with long-range interaction. We apply this theory to a system of uniform dipolar fermionic polar molecules, which has attracted much attention recently, due to rapid experimental progress in achieving such systems. By calculating the anisotropic superfluid order parameter, and the critical temperature $T_{c}$, we show that, "hign $T_c$" superfluid can be achieved with a quite modest value of interaction strength for polar molecules. In addition, we also show that the presence of the Fock exchange interaction enhances superfluid pairing.

description: Fault-tolerant quantum computation is a basic problem in quantum computation, and teleportation is one of the main techniques in this theory. Using teleportation on stabilizer codes, the most well-known quantum codes, Pauli gates and Clifford operators can be applied fault-tolerantly. Indeed, this technique can be generalized for an extended set of gates, the so called ${\mathcal{C}}_k$ hierarchy gates, introduced by Gottesman and Chuang (Nature, 402, 390-392). ${\mathcal{C}}_k$ gates are a generalization of Clifford operators, but our knowledge of these sets is not as rich as our knowledge of Clifford gates. Zeng et al. in (Phys. Rev. A 77, 042313) raise the question of the relation between ${\mathcal{C}}_k$ hierarchy and the set of semi-Clifford and generalized semi-Clifford operators. They conjecture that any ${\mathcal{C}}_k$ gate is a generalized semi-Clifford operator. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for $k=3$. Using the techniques that we develop, we obtain more insight on how to characterize ${\mathcal{C}}_3$ gates. Indeed, the more we understand ${\mathcal{C}}_3$, the more intuition we have on ${\mathcal{C}}_k$, $k\geq 4$, and then we have a way of attacking the conjecture for larger $k$.

description: The 99942 Apophis close encounter with Earth in 2029 may provide information about asteroid's physical characteristics and measurements of Earth's effects on the asteroid surface. In this work, we analysed the surface and the nearby dynamics of Apophis. The possible effects of its 2029 encounter on the surface and environment vicinity are also analysed. We consider a 340 metres polyhedron with a uniform density (1.29 g$\cdot$cm$^{-3}$, 2.2 g$\cdot$cm$^{-3}$ and 3.5 g$\cdot$cm$^{-3}$). The slope angles are computed, as well their variation that arises during the close approach. Such variation reaches 4$^{\circ}$ when low densities are used in our simulations and reaches 2$^{\circ}$ when the density is high. The zero-velocity curves, the equilibrium points, and their topological classification are obtained. We found four external equilibrium points and two of them are linearly stable. We also perform numerical simulations of bodies orbiting the asteroid, taking into account the irregular gravitational field of Apophis and two extra scenarios of perturbations: the solar radiation pressure and the Earth's perturbation during the close approach. The radiation pressure plays an important role in the vicinity of the asteroid, only cm-sized particles survived for the time of integration. For densities of 2.2 g$\cdot$cm$^{-3}$ and 3.5 g$\cdot$cm$^{-3}$, a region of 5 cm radius particles survived for 30 years of the simulation, and for 1.29 g$\cdot$cm$^{-3}$, only particles with 15 cm of radius survived. The ejections and collisions are about 30-50 times larger when the close encounter effect is added, but around 56-59% of particles still survive the encounter.

description: The aim of this paper is to explore the state of the art about the connection between anger and sexual behavior in eterosexual couples. After a description of anger in psychiatric and psychological literature, the Authors review the available studies about anger-sexuality relationship from theorethical, clinical and experimental point of view. They conclude that there is, till now, a significant confusion about the question. Therefore, Authors suggest a new approach to this problem, due to the possible relevance of the topic in clinical practice. Despite the complexity of this research area, there is a need of clarification regarding methodological trends and clinical perspectives. Authors suggest the relevance of such a research for the understanding of sexual behavior, sexual couples problems and the finding of treatment strategies for anger problems connected to sexual behavior.

The discrepancies seen are most likely due to use of a set of inelastic hadronic cross sections that are too high.

«Mi è tornata la fantasia del narratore»: Pasolini cinquant'anni fa
Creators: name: Barberis, Alfredo

description: Per quanto sia ossessivamente evocato, santificato, servito in tutte le salse, legato  a tutte le bandiere, tirato in ballo a ogni proposito e pure a sproposito, si sa che con Pasolini non si finisce mai. Anche per la banale ragione che è stato un autore abituato a non risparmiarsi, sempre generoso di sé, sempre sulla breccia: tra l’altro, presente sui giornali nei modi più vari, attraverso articoli, tavole rotonde, interventi polemici, note occasionali, e interviste del tipo più dinamico, in cui le risposte all’intervistatore disegnavano un autentico ragionamento in fieri. Ripresentiamo qui una delle più interessanti: rilasciata a un brillante giornalista di lungo corso, Alfredo Barberis, comparsa alla fine del 1964 sul supplemento culturale del «Giorno», e ripubblicata una sola volta, in un volume a cura di Oronzo Parlangèli ormai fuori catalogo.

institutional changes

description: The current document, titled “Final Evaluation and Impact Assessment Report”, has been developed within the framework of the TIME4CS project which is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 101006201. 

Evaluation and impact assessment activities in TIME4CS aim to:

●        jointly assess the progress of implemented institutional changes in the participating organisations and understand mutual learning effects between Front-Runners and Implementers of the project.

●        provide research performing organisations (RPOs) and research funding organisations (RFOs) with a monitoring toolkit to self-assess and monitor their progress towards organisational change (see D5.4 Monitoring Toolkit for RFOs and RPOs)

●        learn about the implementation process of institutional changes in implementing organisations to understand the different pathways taken within the organisations and their intended and unintended consequences.

In TIME4CS, evaluation was integrated in all project activities from the very beginning - in a first step we elaborated an Evaluation and Impact Assessment plan (D5.1: Evaluation and Impact Assessment Plan) together with representatives from the four implementing organisations - CRG, KTU, UniSR and Tyndall (which we call Implementers in this deliverable). This plan defined key indicators for the summative and formative evaluation, as well as evaluation instruments and a timeline. Also, a stock-taking exercise with the Implementers helped to understand the baseline before implementing the Roadmaps and Grounding Actions. Based on the initial planning and an interim stock taking, we elaborated an Interim Impact Assessment report in year 2 (D5.2 Interim Evaluation and Impact Assessment Report The main insight was the fact that the Implementers faced several challenges related to the integration of Citizen Science in their research activities. Nonetheless, Implementers had succeeded in triggering first institutional changes to support Citizen Science. In every implementer organisation “core teams” with representatives of different research support services had started to form, plan and continually adapt the Grounding Actions to the given circumstances.

description: In the present paper, we study complete and vertical lifts of tensor fields from a smooth manifold $M$ to its Weil bundle $T^A M$ defined by a Frobenius Weil algebra $A$. For a Poisson manifold $(M,w)$, we show that the complete lift $w^C$ and the vertical lift $w^V$ of the Poisson tensor $w$ are Poisson tensors on $T^A M$ and establish their properties. We prove that the complete and the vertical lifts induce homomorphisms of the Poisson cohomology spaces. We compute the modular classes of the lifts of Poisson structures.

description: In this paper classification of mental task-root Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) is being investigated, as those are a dominant area of investigations in BCI and are of utmost interest as these systems can be augmented life of people having severe disabilities. The BCI model's performance is primarily dependent on the size of the feature vector, which is obtained through multiple channels. In the case of mental task classification, the availability of training samples to features are minimal. Very often, feature selection is used to increase the ratio for the mental task classification by getting rid of irrelevant and superfluous features. This paper proposes an approach to select relevant and non-redundant spectral features for the mental task classification. This can be done by using four very known multivariate feature selection methods viz, Bhattacharya's Distance, Ratio of Scatter Matrices, Linear Regression and Minimum Redundancy & Maximum Relevance. This work also deals with a comparative analysis of multivariate and univariate feature selection for mental task classification. After applying the above-stated method, the findings demonstrate substantial improvements in the performance of the learning model for mental task classification. Moreover, the efficacy of the proposed approach is endorsed by carrying out a robust ranking algorithm and Friedman's statistical test for finding the best combinations and comparing different combinations of power spectral density and feature selection methods.
Modelling of Massive Multiple Systems with VLTI Interferometry, BRITE Photometry, and Spectroscopy
Creators: name: Oplištilová, Alžběta
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Massive stars have relatively short lifetimes (millions of years), however, they are crucial cosmic engines with influence on cosmic evolution that outlasts their lives. They exert strong feedback on their environment and are not only essential sources of energy, ionising photons, and heavy chemical elements --through stellar winds or core-collapse supernova explosions-- but also precursors of neutron stars, black holes, and consequently gravitational wave sources. The very characteristic of massive stars is multiplicity. More than 90% massive hot OB stars possess or have possessed at least one massive stellar companion, which influences their evolution throughout their entire lives. Massive star's evolution still remains poorly constrained by observations. The primary kind of observation constraining diameters is the long-baseline interferometry. While the most massive stars in the LMC are too distant (50 kpc) for interferometric measurements, the Orion OB association in our Galactic vicinity hosts several massive stars, e.g., Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, and Sigma Ori. We have already constructed a model (Oplištilová et al. 2023) of a triple star Delta Ori A based on various kinds of observations (BRITE photometry, astrometry, radial velocities, eclipse timings, eclipse duration, spectral line profiles, and spectral energy distribution), except for interferometry; VLTI/AMBER data was not useable. The conclusions were that the compact binary of Delta Ori is a pre-mass-transfer object, while the tertiary seems to be unusually inflated (according to the HR diagram). We also noticed that Delta Ori could be related to other bright stars in Orion, in particular, Zeta Ori, which has a surprisingly similar architecture, or Epsilon Ori, which is a single supergiant and possibly a post-mass-transfer object. Therefore, we applied for and successfully obtained VLTI/GRAVITY interferometric observations. Using VLTI interferometry and BRITE photometry together with other kinds of data, we are going to construct models of massive stars in the Orion belt.
On the use of stereodynamical effects to control cold chemical reactions: the H + D$_{2}\longleftrightarrow$ D + HD case study

description: Quantum calculations are reported for the stereodynamic control of the H + D$_{2}\longleftrightarrow$ D + HD chemical reaction in the energy range of 1-50 K. Stereodynamic control is achieved by a formalism similar to that reported by Perreault et al. [Nature Chem. 10, 561 (2018)] in recent experimental works in which the alignment of the molecular bond axis relative to the incident relative velocity is controlled by selective preparations of the molecule in a specific or superposition of magnetic projection quantum numbers of the initial molecular rotational level. The approach presented here generalizes the experimental scheme of Perreault et al. and offers additional degree of control through various experimental preparation of the molecular alignment angle. Illustrative results presented for the H + D$_{2}$ and D + HD reactions show significant control with the possibility of turning the reaction completely on or off with appropriate stereodynamic preparation of the molecular state. Various scenarios for maximizing and minimizing the reaction outcomes are identified with selective preparation of molecular rotational states.
«... And now I have to enter Father Mike’s head, I’m afraid» Parallessi, onniscienza omodiegetica e “io” autoriali nella narrativa contemporanea (I)
Creators: name: Pennacchio, Filippo

Subjects: Parallessi; onniscienza; pseudodiegesi; situazioni narrative

description: Si presenta qui la prima parte di uno studio incentrato su alcune particolari articolazioni del rac- conto in prima persona. La pratica della parallessi, la fusione di narrazione onnisciente e omo- diegesi e più in generale l’assunzione, da parte di un narratore-personaggio, di prerogative auto- riali sono fenomeni in effetti piuttosto complessi, che da un punto di vista teorico pongono problemi di non immediata risoluzione. Tant’è che da sempre sono stati letti come infrazioni, alterazioni ai modi più condivisi di raccontare. Eppure oggi ricorrono frequentemente, “pratica- ti” da autori tra loro anche molto diversi, e in certo modo chiedono di essere ri-descritti. In que- sto senso, dopo un breve excursus su alcune interpretazioni “classiche” di tali fenomeni, nelle prossime pagine ci si soffermerà su una serie di romanzi suscettibili di metterne in discussione la tenuta. Nella seconda parte del saggio, che sarà pubblicata sul prossimo numero di «Enthyme- ma», si rifletterà invece sull’opportunità d’inquadrare i fenomeni in questione anche tenendo conto della prospettiva del lettore, del suo coinvolgimento cognitivo. In ultimo, si tenterà di ri- spondere alla domanda forse più importante: per quale motivo oggi si è diffuso questo modo di raccontare?
