  • Robert Fisk: Once again, a nation walks through fire to give the West its ‘democracy’
    In 2005 the Iraqis walked in their tens of thousands through the thunder of suicide bombers, and voted – the Shias on the instructions of their clerics, the Sunnis sulking in a boycott – to prove Iraq was a “democracy”. There followed the most blood-boltered period in Iraq’s modern history. Yesterday, the Iraqis walked in their [...]
  • Della serie “facciamo un po’ come cazzo che ci pare“: I fatti li conoscete. Convinti assertori della libertà, sul nostro sito internet www.clubdellaliberta.it giovedì mattina abbiamo pubblicato un sondaggio per sapere cosa pensaste del caos creato intorno alle liste elettorali e, in particolare, se riteneste giusta l’esclusione delle liste del Popolo della Libertà.

  • Il meglio della Palestra di Luttazzi della settimana (secondo me)
    2 marzo: Nel Lazio il Pdl non ha presentato le firme in tempo quindi sarà escluso. In Lombardia, nei fogli firme di Formigoni sono presenti delle irregolarità, quindi anche lui sarà escluso. Preoccupati i vertici del Pd: questa volta perdere risulterà più difficile del previsto. (Marco Braghin). 1° marzo, indetta dagli stranieri la “giornata senza di noi”. [...]
  • Dans les grandes écoles, mieux vaut être boursier que fille
    Les filles ne représentent que 20 % des effectifs dans les grandes écoles d’ingénieurs, et 15 % dans les écoles les plus prestigieuses (Polytechnique, Ecole des mines, Ecole des ponts et Centrale Paris), a calculé l’association Grandes écoles au féminin (GEF). Cette bataille nécessaire ne doit néanmoins pas en occulter une autre : l’insuffisante mixité hommes [...]

The story behind The Webzone PDF Print E-mail
Written by Giorgio Guzzetta

Hello and Welcome. My name is Giorgio Guzzetta and this is my academic website.

Why I decided to open The Webzone? Once I realised that most of my working hours were spent in front of a computer screen, I made two decision:

  • to read everything I could on computer eye fatigue and similar issues
  • to open a website to organise and keep track of my online activities

I am in fact very interested in how new media interacts with academic work (both teaching and research) and how I can use the web (especially the semantic web) to improve my work. I have a blog (The Italian Teacher) in which I talk about this project and related things (you can see the most recent posts on the left column).

Let me say something about the website and how it is structured. Is a bilingual site (you can switch to Italian and back by clicking on the buttons on the left column), and is amateurish (that is to say I work on it in my free time) and self-financed (this is why I added here and there, as discreetly as possible, google ads).

The main sections of the site are Research, Teaching and Italian Studies Guide. You can reach them through the top menu. The other sections of the menu are Home, About me (self-explanatory), Online Courses (a link to an online linguistic course I am working on), Creative Reading (a place where I plan to collect short reviews of novels I read), News (where you can find links to various italian and global news source I usually read), and Blog (a link to my blog).

More detailed descriptions of the main sections will follow. You can find them in the articles below (as soon as I find the time to write them).
