It starts with the metaphor of debris and the linguistic-literary metaphor of texture/textus. It then proceeds to elucidate how Keats deals with flotsam and jetsam in his work. A short overview of the theory of organic unity begins the last section of the article, which focuses on the poet's penchant for hybrid poetic endeavours and envisions some of his work as a metaphorical manifestation of the cyborg myth.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the Muslim Organisations Working Group are observed in their efforts to improve knowledge and awareness of halal slaughter among food and meat industry operators in the UK through the production of ad hoc documents. Firstly, an introduction to halal (etymological, semantic and legal) is provided in order to foreground its relevance as a cultural-religious concept, which must be accommodated within the UK (host) culture. Secondly, two documents are analysed: the Code of Practice for Halal Slaughter and the Guidance Note on Halal Food Issues. The former was drafted by the Muslim Organisations Working Group, it is addressed to meat industry workers and aims at providing standard guidelines for the correct practice of halal slaughter; the latter was drafted by the FSA in order to improve awareness of issues connected to halal slaughter among food law enforcements officers. The analysis will show UK institutions in their commitment to cross-cultural integration and to the popularisation of halal

"Solarscape" is first analyzed in context and its meaning drawn from specialist texts: the collection of these data forms the basis for a formal definition and for the production of a terminological entry. Secondly, "solarscape" is analyzed as a complex term (a compound noun): its formal characteristics are investigated by closely observing its two component parts, the adjective/noun "solar" and the combining form "-scape"

Le fasi del viaggio hanno valore simbolico: il mare é un non-luogo e la Maria Crowther un'eterotopia, "grandi separatori" fra Londra e Roma, passato e presente, vita e morte. Gli echi letterari nelle lettere di Keats e del suo compagno di viaggio, Severn, mostrano che l'esperienza in mare ha una struttura narrativa e può quindi essere paragonata al racconto del Vecchio Marinaio di Coleridge, alla traversata dell'Acheronte nella Divina Commedia, al naufragio nel Don Juan byroniano, e al tumultuoso viaggio per mare di Leigh Hunt (1821-1822).

This article provides the title of this puppet show and offers evidence of the play-text, one version of which is found in the archives of the world-famous Milan-based puppeteers, the Colla family. Furthermore, the article speculates as to the Shelley party’s peculiar and considerably specific interest in puppet shows, which is read as a sign of potential awareness of the political import of and critique implicit in them, and especially in the history of the puppet they saw on stage, Gerolamo, as well as evidence of a sustained interest in movement, gesture, and the body.
