Zerbe, Cambridge Scholars, June 2025 The rapid development of the Internet and social media platforms hastransformed the landscape of medical science communication where avariety of societal stakeholders, including the research academy,healthcare professionals, policymakers, and patients, increasingly turn tothe readily usable functionalities of online information and knowledgeplatforms. This transformation has had a significant impact on digitalcommunication within the medical academy and the healthcare sector asa whole. Opportunities are spawning an increasingly diverse digitalecosystem of less formal practices of medical scholarly communicationon web and social media platforms (research blogs, tweets, newspaperarticles, press interviews, ResearchGate, WikiPathways, info-graphicsand video-abstracts), making the scientific process more democratic andresponsive to societal needs and fostering ‘open’, rapid scientificcommunication between researchers, citizens, and other societal actors.This book brings together academics and practitioners from the area oflinguistics and other fields to critically discuss and rethink emergingtrends and variations in medical science communication models whereculture, knowledge, expertise, and identity are played out, contributing tothe discursive study of texts and genres that matter to internal and externalprocesses and practices of medical science communication This book is part of a series.

THE TASTE OF SUSTAINABILITY: A corpus-assisted comparative ESP analysis of promotional tasting notes for conventional and alternative wines

Books, News /

Can You Taste Sustainability? Based on the premise that the grandiloquent and frequently satirised language of wine tasting emerged from the globalising socio-economic dynamics of the 1970s, the aim of this volume is to investigate whether a recent market trend — namely, sustainable wine — has engendered an alternative wine-tasting discourse that aligns with the demands of environmentally conscious consumers.

The Song of Songs and Its Tradition in Renaissance Love Lyric

Books, Members' Publications, News /

Camilla Caporicci Oxford University Press, 2024, pp. 480. ISBN: 9780192848833 Traditionally attributed to King Solomon, the Song of Songs is one of the most fascinating and controversial biblical books, and played an essential role in the shaping of European spirituality and culture. Combining a sensual and deeply lyrical celebration of love with a well-established tradition of Christian allegorical interpretation, this text, crucial to both the Middle Ages and the early modern period, held a particular appeal for poets. The Song of Songs and Its Tradition in Renaissance Love Lyric is the first systematic and wide-ranging investigation of the multifaceted use of the Song of Songs in Renaissance love lyric poetry, with specific attention to Italian, French, and, especially, English poetic production. At the same time, this investigation is embedded into a narrative that, comprising two initial chapters devoted to medieval poetry and to Francesco Petrarca, represents an unprecedented attempt to trace the role of the Song of Songs in the rise and development of the European love lyric, following its path – or rather, one of its paths – from the medieval origins of this tradition to the end of the sixteenth century. While the comparative standpoint characterizing this study fosters a deeper comprehension of the evolution of the European love lyric, its multidisciplinary approach, which considers the Song of Songs as the centre of a web of dynamics pertaining to the fields of literature, philosophy, theology, and religious and cultural history, contributes to the understanding of the thought and spirit of ages crucial to the shaping of European culture.

Imprinting Anglo- Italian Relations in The Liberal by Lilla Maria Crisafulli (Volume editor)Serena Baiesi (Volume editor) Carlotta Farese (Volume editor)  ©2023Edited Collection262 Pages   When the first issue of The Liberal was published on 10 October 1822, the periodical was largely dismissed by the British press as a political project conceived by well-known and controversial figures (L. Hunt, P.B. Shelley, Lord Byron, W. Hazlitt, and Mary Shelley). They were all members of the so-called “Pisan circle”, an Anglo-Italian community of liberal writers aspiring to cultural and social reform. Even though The Liberal was addressed to an English public, it was entirely conceived in Italy, a country which had become a symbolic as well as a geographical space, playing a crucial role in defining the journal’s aims and themes. This collection of essays examines the short and difficult life of the periodical, reassessing its cultural politics, its relationship to Italy, the controversial British reception, and its relevance to Romantic (and indeed contemporary) debates on Liberalism.

Framing Ethics and Plagiarism in Medical Research Writing and Publishing – Girolamo Tessuto, Michele Caraglia (eds)

Books, News /

Framing Ethics and Plagiarism in Medical Research Writing and Publishing, edited by Girolamo Tessuto, Michele Caraglia As scientific knowledge is continually refreshed by new experiments and theoretical insights and openly communicated to the medical community, upholding the academic integrity of scientific publishing is a key ethical issue in medical research. Academic integrity does not just involve commitment to a moral code or ethical policy, it is also about adherence to a set of values that avoid plagiarism and support trustworthy, fair, and honest behaviour in medical research and publishing, thus ensuring that knowledge dissemination proceeds unhampered. However, plagiarism is often framed in narrow, judgmental terms that leave little room for doctors and researchers to understand its complexities and consequences, made all the more complicated by the increasing use of the internet as a research space. This book provides an extensive exploration of ethics and plagiarism, helping its readership to understand how and to what extent the language-and-text processing components of medical discourse can and should be scrutinized across the genres that matter to scientific medical research writing practices and publishing. This book is part of Medical Discourse and Communication internationally peer-reviewed series – Editor in Chief: G. Tessuto Cambridge Scholars Publishing ISBN: 1-5275-6311-1 Release Date: 17th January 2024 Pages: 113 https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-5275-6311-7
