The reading performances of four boys are reported. The most pervasive reading symptom was severe slowness, which was associated in some, but not all, cases with reduced text comprehension. All four dyslexics performed at chance level on a task requiring comprehension of homophonous words (Study I). Vocal reaction times to single words were delayed with respect to the controls and showed a clear word length effect (Study II). However, vocal reaction times to pictorial stimuli were normal (Study III). Eye movement recordings taken during reading indicated an increased number and a reduced amplitude of rightward saccades and longer fixation durations (Study IV). A test of letter recognition in central and peripheral vision indicated that the reading deficit could not be explained in terms of an abnormal attentional “window,” as found in other cases of dyslex...

Reconstructed in the relationship with the spaces of her house, district and town, and during the years of her youth (1924-1941), these experiences appear to be a marker of identity narrative, because they depict affinities and dissimilarities, inclusions and exclusions, disparities and equalities, behaviours and other ways of giving ‘meaning’ to the writer’s microcosm. So far, the sound experiences become an instrument of knowledge, a key through which interpret Goliarda's social practices, considered both as a relationship with her community and as interpersonal relationships intertwined in the various areas of her life.

In a study dedicated to the soundscape of the European cities of the early modern age, appeared in the scientific journal Urban History in 2003, David Garrioch highlighted the important function of the sound as fundamental part of the urban dynamics. Sound establishes a semiotic system which allows the people of a city to orient themselves in time and space, to be informed, to participate in social life as part of a community of aware listeners, to decipher and give meaning to the collective action of the urban space in which they live. On the sonic dimension of the real there are reverberations at different levels of deeper sound horizons producing more complex semantics not only of the urban collective ritual, but also of the individual sound identity, both institutional and personal.
Aim of this session is to promote a discussion on the dynamics of the sound geography in modern Italy. Particular attention will be given to the sound of the urban ceremonial, to its declinations and local connotations, to its ability to interact with the public and private dimension, to its economic impact, to the social and aesthetic dynamics regulating it, to its contribution to define an image of the city, to the control policies of the urban noise, to its impact on the civic architectural space and the environment.
