Come la tecnocrazia e il lavoro giovanile, e poi ancora la violenza, il terrorismo e i rapporti con l’Islam. «C'è un'ingiustizia diffusa - ci ha detto monsignor Beschi - che è spesso la prima causa delle guerre, del terrore, della violenza. Anche sulle nostre strade e tra le nostre case. Ci sono però nello stesso tempo dei “segni” che sono “semi” da coltivare. Il pontificato di Papa Francesco in questo orizzonte è una grande forza morale che viene offerta al mondo». E di forza morale, nella Bergamasca, ci sono molti fulgidi esempi.

  • Casting Couch
    The Casting Couch The ‘casting couch’ scenario: Impact of perceived employment benefit, reporting delay, complainant gender, and participant gender on juror decision-making in rape cases. Shona Mcintosh and Josh P Davis Department of Psychology, Social Work and Counselling, University of Greenwich, UK Correspondence to: Dr Josh P Davis Reader in Applied Psychology School of Human Sciences University of Greenwich London, SE10 9LS, UK [email protected] Keywords Casting couch, Jury decision making, juror decision making, rape myths, sexual assault Thanks To Bethan Burnside and Katy Weatherley for help with this project. 1 The Casting Couch Abstract Recent media reports of contemporary and historical rape and sexual assault cases have focused on the entertainment industry, particularly around the notion of the ‘casting couch’. This scenario in which a powerful figure obtains sexual acts from subordinate actors in exchange for employment was used to explore the influence of rape myths and Sexual Economic Theory on mock-juror decision-making. Participant-jurors (n = 907) viewed video and written testimony of a male or female complainant, accusing a male producer of rape. Delay before reporting the incident to the police (immediately, six months, ten years), and whether the complainant secured the acting role or not were varied. Females (79.7%) were significantly more likely than males (62.7%) to deliver a guilty verdict and to recommend longer prison sentences. When the complainant did not secure the acting role, and they delayed reporting the incident for six months, there was a trend for guilty verdict rates to be slightly higher when the complainant was male (80.5%) than female (64.5%).

  • Ingeborg Bachmann's Literary Critique of the Journalistic Media
    “Es ist ein unglaublicher Betrug.” Ingeborg Bachmann’s literary critique of the journalistic media by Gisela Nittel A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for admission to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2008 Department of Germanic Studies The University of Sydney Abstract Despite the consistency and regularity of Bachmann’s critique of journalists and journalistic content, there has been to date no dedicated study of her portrayal of the journalistic media in individual works or her work as a whole. This dissertation addresses this gap in Bachmann studies by undertaking a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Bachmann’s literary portrayal of the journalistic media from the time she first came into the literary spotlight in the early 1950s until her 1972 Simultan collection, the last work to be published in her lifetime. The primary focus of this dissertation is a close textual analysis of literary works in which Bachmann makes significant references to journalists and journalism, examining these references closely in the context of existing scholarly analyses. In a systematic analysis of each literary genre that Bachmann tackled—poetry, radio plays, short prose and novels—this study demonstrates that Bachmann’s critique of journalists and journalism recurs with notable frequency and consistency throughout her work from 1952 onwards. The detailed analyses show that Bachmann’s critique of the “fourth estate” ranges from the mildly critical to the vitriolic, and constantly returns to a core set of concerns about the misrepresentations perpetrated by the journalistic media. The negativity of Bachmann’s critique is, however, almost always offset (and even undercut) by evidence that the journalistic media are not always successful in their (according to Bachmann’s portrayal) deceitful and destructive practices.

    Patrick Lang’s Column 11th December 2019 LA «SQUADRA ROSA» C’È! THE STRONG ITALIAN TEAM! The winners’ list of the numerous World Cup stages organized in Sestriere since 1967 – many part being of in the prestigious Arlberg-Kandahar “Classic” – really is impressive… Most of the stars and “Skiing Legends” from the 1960s until 2016 excelled on the various slopes of the Vialattea which also hosted thrilling medal events back in 1997 (FIS World Championships) and 2006 (Olympics), without forgetting the exciting World Cup Finals in 2004! Among the winners on the women’s tour one can find the name of two Italian aces - Giustina Demetz who enjoyed a memorable win in downhill in March 1967 (sharing first place with France’s exceptional Marielle Goitschel) while Maria Rosa Quario won a slalom later on in 1983! In January 2020, a group of specialists of the “Squadra Rosa” will surely be fighting hard to claim the first Italian victory in a World Cup giant slalom race on the challenging G. Agnelli course, 23 years after the gold medal triumphs of Deborah Compagnoni in both tech events of the FIS World Championships. Interestingly enough, there are several Italian candidates ready to strike as shown by the results of the first competitions held in Austria and North America, where four Italian champions celebrated a brilliant victory and several podium finishes in three different specialties – giant slalom, downhill and Super-G. At Killington, 23-year-old Marta Bassino enjoyed her maiden World Cup victory after two blistering runs. She beat all the
