  • Mauro Berruto Presenta La World League 2013 Degli Azzurri
    Mauro Berruto presenta la World League 2013 degli azzurri Modena. La nazionale seniores maschile è pronta ad affrontare l’intensa stagione 2013, un’annata che sarà caratterizzata da quattro manifestazioni: World League, Giochi del Mediterraneo, Campionati Europei e Campionati del Mondo Under 23. Il primo impegno sarà proprio la 24esima edizione della World League, storica manifestazione che quest’anno si presenta con un format rinnovato. Il numero delle formazioni partecipanti è stato infatti allargato a 18 suddivise in tre pool (A,B,C). Oltre al numero di squadre, diverso sarà anche la formula della manifestazione che non prevede più il doppio incontro di andata e ritorno, ma due match nello stesso paese con le squadre più alte nel ranking che giocheranno tre turni in casa e due in trasferta. Sei i week end di gara della Fase Intercontinentale prima della Final Six in programma a Mar del Plata, in Argentina dal 17 al 21 luglio. Proprio la riveduta formula di gioco permetterà agli azzurri di tornare a giocare in diverse piazze del Paese: Firenze, Torino e Modena sono città abituate ad ospitare grandi manifestazioni internazionali mentre Sassari è l’assoluta new entry della manifestazione. Savani e compagni, inseriti nella pool B, saranno impegnati con Russia, Cuba, Serbia, Germania e Iran. Il debutto per i ragazzi di Berruto sarà il 7 giugno a Modena (ore 20.30) contro i tedeschi, sfida che sarà replicata il 9 (ore 18) a Torino. Sempre nel capoluogo piemontese il 14 (ore 20) sarà la volta di Italia-Cuba, incontro che due giorni dopo si terrà a Firenze (ore 20).

  • The Rebirth of Slick: Clinton, Travolta, and Recuperations of Hard-Body Nationhood in the 1990S
    THE REBIRTH OF SLICK: CLINTON, TRAVOLTA, AND RECUPERATIONS OF HARD-BODY NATIONHOOD IN THE 1990S Nathan Titman A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Dr. Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor Dr. Philip Terrie ii ABSTRACT Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor This thesis analyzes the characters and performances of John Travolta throughout the 1990s and examines how the actor's celebrity persona comments on the shifting meanings of masculinity that emerged in a post-Reagan cultural landscape. A critical analysis of President Clinton's multiple identities⎯in terms of gender, class, and race⎯demonstrates that his popularity in the 1990s resulted from his ability to continue Reagan's "hard-body" masculine national identity while seemingly responding to its more radical aspects. The paper examines how Travolta's own complex identity contributes to the emergent "sensitive patriarch" model for American masculinity that allows contradictory attitudes and identities to coexist. Starting with his iconic turn in 1977's Saturday Night Fever, a diachronic analysis of Travolta's film career shows that his ability to convey femininity, blackness, and working-class experience alongside more normative signifiers of white middle-class masculinity explains why he failed to satisfy the "hard-body" aesthetic of the 1980s, yet reemerged as a valued Hollywood commodity after neoconservative social concerns began emphasizing family values and white male responsibility in the 1990s. A study of the roles that Travolta played in the 1990s demonstrates that he, like Clinton, represented the white male body's potential to act as the benevolent patriarchal figure in a culture increasingly cognizant of its diversity, while justifying the continued cultural dominance of white middle-class males.
