The Dangers and Virtues of Theatricality in Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso
The Dangers and Virtues of Theatricality in Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso Jack D’Amico In his essay “Alle origini della commedia,” M. Apollonio identifies the Renaissance court, particularly the Estense court and its leading playwright Ludovico Ariosto, as the institution that stabilized the multifaceted comic spirit inherited from fourteenth-century Italy. From a more critical angle he suggests that the unity and order derived from classical models …
Catastrophic Reactions of a Child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
This investigation presents analysis of the catastrophic reactions of a child with pervasive developmental disorder—not otherwise specified (PDDNOS). Upon analysis, these catastrophic reactions are effectively described as social phenomena. That is, although maladaptive coping patterns in children with autism spectrum disorders often lead to catastrophic reactions including tantrums, self-injury, and aggression, these behaviors are often oriented…
The Contribution of Language in Shaping Clinical Culture
This article explores the ways that one's language and culture shapes the expectations and clinical recovery of individuals with aphasia and the expectations and reactions of their families. Employing interview data from five Jewish individuals with aphasia, five Palestinian individuals with aphasia, and six caregivers, phenomenological analyses were performed to determine the extent to which cultural elements contribute to the shaping of treatme…
Reading Skills in an Individual with Aphasia
This case study investigates the impact of a meaning-based reading intervention program on an individual with aphasia. Through this qualitative method of inquiry, pretreatment and post-treatment change is documented and results indicate that the meaning-based approach had an impact on the recovery of literacy skills—particularly comprehension. In addition to describing the individual with aphasia and her reaction to the intervention, the program …

"Drama and the Court in "La Calandria
The play La Calandria of Bernardo Dovizi Da Bibbiena was staged in the Ducal Palace at Urbino on 6 February 1513. Baldassare Castiglione left a description of this performance in a letter to Ludovico Canossa, who, like Bibbiena, had a role to play in II Cortegiano, a work which did much to enhance the courtly image of Urbino. This essay begins with that description because it illustrates the kind of control the court exercised over theater in Ren…

Paying Attention to Pronunciation
U It is widely recognized that a crucial component in developing effective second language pronunciation is, in fact, the development of particular listening skills. In many textbooks ostensibly dedicated to improving ESL pronunciation, a substantial number of exercises are devoted to making sure that the student, as listener, can first recognize the types of sound distinctions that are phonemic in English. As Prator and Robinett (1985) claim in …
Learners in Transition
Based on the observation that some ESL learners appear to regress in performance during language learning when traditional test accuracy scores are used, another aspect of students' performance was investigated. Using a confidence-rating scale, the self-monitoring abilities of 67 intermediate ESL students enrolled in a University-level pronunciation/listening course were assessed over a seven week period and compared with test accuracy scores. Re…

The Virtue of Ruin in Machiavelli's Florentine Histories
We find in Machiavelli's work frequent repetition of a patterned re- lationship between human and natural orders that he describes in the Florentine Histories as ruin, birth and expansion.* Ruin does not simply precede the birth of cities, it constitutes and creates the very necessity for government, preparing the way by teaching men to heed a founder strong and wise enough to bring about the birth of civil order. ^Man is wed to and rises above n…
