This essay investigates the relationship between the idea of movement and the concept of translation in Licia Canton’s short story “The Motorcycle” and in its Italian translation. The essay looks at translation both as a metaphor of negotiation and mediation that bridges two linguistic and cultural backgrounds and as a process thanks to which a text can effectively circulate in several languages and cultures. Thanks to some excerpts taken from the Italian text, the issue of the accent, that of self-translation and identity are explored through the lens of language, underlining its role in shaping and conveying images and narratives of the migrant.

Cinema constitutes an important source of data on representations about accompaniment and practices of professionals in the biomedical field, among them nurses.

It discusses some of the ethical issues on accompaniment which can occur in a hospital setting during the treatment of patients in a state of coma.

Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919) and Francisco “Pancho” Villa (1878-1923) are two legendary figures of the Mexican Revolution's collective memory (1910-1920). We examine how the history of these men of action is conditioned by myth in the form of images. We draw a distinction between popular myths of local origin born from the revolutionary process, and the national myth conveyed by the post-revolutionary state, from 1920 on. We find confirmation here of the thesis advanced by Roland Barthes in Mythologies, according to which the revolution itself is not a mythical process because it is characterized by action; the myth is not elaborated until the process has begun to freeze or congeal. The analysis aims to free the history of the revolution from its myths, the better to examine it as a privileged moment of the political.

The main conflicts and antagonisms presently plaguing the world are the conflicting interpretations as to the substance of what constitutes human rights. According to the author, the conflict must be recognized instead of hidden under a list of additional rights which serve only to add heterogeneous requirements. This process is essential and a prerequisite to the search for a rational compromise.
