Omnia vincit Amor? Argomenti e domande pedagogiche sulla possibilità dell’omogenitorialità
2017
The paper examines the arguments brought for defence of the possibility that two persons of the same sex, in the name of the love (existing between each other and towards a child), can be parents like the others. Along the analysis, many questions emerge as well the crucial role in educating of sexuate belonging of each person, insofar as the relational interpersonal experiences are first of all bodily experiences. Mainly, the importance of copareting, according to which each single parent love is always incomplete, and a wide sense of generativity are progressively highlighilted.
La generatività familiare. Nuove prospettive di studio in educazione
2019
The paper aims to present, through a pedagogical approach, the concept of family generativity, without neglecting its limits and critical points. In addition to E.H. Erikson’s well-known studies, the concept of generativity occupies a crucial position for some scholars of symbolic-relational area, who explain it as an essentially relational construct: it is the value of the relationship between the generations. The analysis underlines how the intergenerational dimension, which traverses the couple and the family, is at the origin of the family generativity as it develops and grows thanks to the donative sources within the family systems. Therefore, it’s a task that delineates itself as esse…
Educare alla cura tra le generazioni. Una riflessione pedagogica sul concetto di generatività
2021
The paper aims to present, through an educational approach, a reflection about generativity, defined as the desire to leave a positive legacy and related activities that raise outcomes for future generations. However, today some studies suggest that generativity as a targeted midlife task may no longer be sufficient for explaining a life course pattern of generative concerns, commitment, and actions, and it refers to a generative concern during adolescence, to a generative commitment in adulthood, and to a sense of integrity, the result of a generative life, in old age. Some scholars of symbolic-relational area interpret the generativity as an essentially relational construct: it is the val…
Narrare la generatività familiare
2018
L’Autore propone una breve riflessione sulla formazione del sistema emozionale del soggetto; tema pedagogicamente rilevante perché permette di comprendere la prima alfabetizzazione emotiva che avviene in famiglia. Aiuta anche ad esplorare le «matrici transpersonali del sé»; e a pervenire all’intelligenza di un aspetto specifico secondo il quale ogni persona è un erede: grazie alla famiglia infatti ogni soggetto riceve come prima eredità una mente. The author proposes a short reflection on the training of the emotional system of the subject; that is a pedagogically relevant theme because it allows to comprehend the first emotional literacy that happens in family. It also helps to explore the…
A Study about Generativity in Intergenerational Care in Pandemic Time
2021
The paper aims to present, through an educational approach, a reflection about generativity, defined as the desire to leave a positive legacy and related activities that raise outcomes for future generations (Erikson, 1950; McAdams, de St. Aubin, Logan, 1993). Sustaining the future has been identified as a key factor in the welfare of future generations and the desire to leave a positive legacy (Hauser et al., 2014) helps young adult to cope with the challenges of the transition to adulthood in contemporary life. However, interdisciplinary theoretical insight suggests that generativity as a targeted midlife task may no longer be sufficient for explaining a life course pattern of generative …
Is recursion language-specific? Evidence of recursive mechanisms in the structure of intentional action
2014
In their 2002 seminal paper Hauser, Chomsky and Fitch hypothesize that recursion is the only human-specific and language-specific mechanism of the faculty of language. While debate focused primarily on the meaning of recursion in the hypothesis and on the human-specific and syntax-specific character of recursion, the present work focuses on the claim that recursion is language-specific. We argue that there are recursive structures in the domain of motor intentionality by way of extending John R. Searle's analysis of intentional action. We then discuss evidence from cognitive science and neuroscience supporting the claim that motor-intentional recursion is language-independent and suggest so…
