  • LA FAMIGLIA the Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks
    LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Eva Carlestål LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Anthropology presented at Uppsala University in 2005 ABSTRACT Carlestål, Eva, 2005. La Famiglia – The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks. DICA, Disser- tations in Cultural Anthropology, 3. 227 pp. Uppsala. ISSN 1651-7601, ISBN 91-506-1791-5. Anthropological data from fieldwork carried out among a fishing population in western Sicily show how related matrifocal nuclear families are tightly knit within larger, male-headed networks. The mother focus at the basic family level is thereby balanced and the system indi- cates that the mother-child unit does not function effectively on its own, as has often been argued for this type of family structure. As a result of dominating moral values which strong- ly emphasise the uniqueness of family and kin, people are brought up to depend heavily upon and to be loyal to their kin networks, to see themselves primarily as parts of these social units and less so as independent clearly bounded individuals, and to distinctly separate family members from non-family members. This dependence is further strengthened by matri- and/or patrivicinity being the dominant form of locality, by the traditional naming system as well as a continual use of kin terms, and by related people socialising and collaborating closely. The social and physical boundaries thus created around the family networks are further streng- thened by local architecture that symbolically communicates the closed family unit; by the woman, who embodies her family as well as their house, having her outdoor movements restric- ted in order to shield both herself and her family; by self-mastery when it comes to skilfully calculating one's actions and words as a means of controlling the impression one makes on others; and by local patriotism that separates one's co-villagers from foreigners.

First, the Government moves in limine to preclude (1) the cross-examination of FBI special agent Carrillo; (2) reference to notes made by Joseph Massino during trial preparation; (3) references to Massino’s cooperation agreement with the Government; (4) allegations about FBI special agent DeVecchio; (5) and references to defendant Locurto’s state court acquittal.

  • Influence of Michael Corleone's Personalities on His Relationship
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 497 Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Literature, Art and Human Development (ICLAHD 2020) Influence of Michael Corleone’s Personalities on His Relationship With Other Characters in Trilogy of The Godfather Longhe Cao Shenzhen Middle School, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518034, China *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Analyzing the personalities and relationship of the characters is an effective method for both the professionals and the ordinary audience to comprehend movies. By discovering and explaining how Michael Corleone in The Godfather influences his relationship with other characters, this dissertation is aimed at assisting readers to fully comprehend the essence of movies in detail. This paper utilizes the method which extracts a variety of conflicts and major transitions between Michael and other characters to reflect how Michael’s personalities work on these relationships. Based on the facts in the movie, Michael demonstrates different attitudes to his family members and the outsiders of his family. It will be helpful for the audience if there are researches which can deeply analyze a more well-rounded image of Michael’s Corleone, besides analyzing his relationship and personalities appears in the future. This paper finally concludes that Michael’s personalities cause him to have completely different relationships with two types of character, as the family members and the outsiders. Keywords: Personalities, relationship, influence, gangster, Godfather 1. INTRODUCTION 2. OVERVIEW OF MICHAEL CORLEONE’S PERSONALITIES The Godfather, as a classic and representative Italian gangster movie, reflects the conflicts between Corleone Overall, Michael has two types of personalities, including family and other forces in United States as well as the stable personalities and the variational personalities.

    Studia Humana Volume 5:3 (2016), pp. 83 —89 DOI: 10.1515/sh-2016-0017 The Godfather : A Translator’s and Writer’s Subconscious and Conscious Skills in the Process of Evoking Reader’s Emotions Dominika Dziurawiec University of Rzeszow, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The article is an unyielding argument supporting the thesis that not only a writer, but also a translator is expected to use their creativity so that nothing is lost in translation. Amongst various factors that influence the process of translating a novel the article focuses on two of them: a translator should stick to the original text with taking the semantic fields differences into account while s/he should keep the atmosphere of the source language, making as little changes in the target language as possible. Marking a translator’s existence in a text is strongly connected with a perlocutionary act. A great example of the translation that covers both principles is The Godfather, written by Mario Puzo and translated from English into Polish by Bronisław Zieli ński. He translated only English words into Polish, leaving the target Italian words with no metamorphosis. The article presents the effect obtained by such an action. Keywords : emotions, reader, the godfather, translation, translator. 1. Introduction A translator ought to have some peculiar skills and is undoubtedly seen as a person whose responsibility of the usage of the language is one of the highest. Not only is s/he expected to be an absolute specialist about the language itself, but also a linguist with a great command of writer’s abilities.

On June 1, 2006, Baldassare Amato (“Amato”) objected on Confrontation Clause and Due Process Clause grounds to my ruling that witness Salvatore Vitale’s inculpatory coconspirator statements regarding defendant Amato were admissible. (Trial Transcript of June 1, 2006, at 473.)

(Trial Transcript of May 31, 2006, at 386-88.) To the extent that Amato moves for reconsideration of this ruling on Confrontation Clause and Due Process grounds, I deny his motion because the statement is non-testimonial, and Amato has provided no authority supporting the view that his due process rights were violated by the admission of this testimony.
