Microstorie di design siciliano
2020
Il testo parte dalla considerazione che in Sicilia il design ha una matrice certa e di elevatissimo livello; ci si riferisce al design ante litteram che Ernesto Basile seppe esprimere all’inizio del ‘900 collaborando con la fabbrica Ducrot, diventato anche un possibile paradigma per riavviare, con la scuola di Anna Maria Fundarò, una via siciliana al design che promuovesse forme di sviluppo territoriale, di autonomia e consapevolezza culturale rispetto alla dilagante omologazione della grande produzione industriale. Il design è parte della storia umana e si sviluppa non solo nello specifico ambito specialistico, ma nelle pratiche e nelle strategie della quotidianità; quindi difficile tracci…
Clothes
2019
Niina Rutanen, Raija Raittila, Mari Vuorisalo write about Clothes and clothing practices in Finnish early childhood education and care. The adopted approach combines relational sociology and geography and addresses the different kinds of spaces clothing practices create in ECEC. Clothing and clothing practices play an important role in the everyday life of ECEC, but often have a different meaning to educators, to the children and to parents. Niina, Raija and Mari show how these different spaces collide with each other and create one possible story of Arctic childhood. In their understanding, space is a social construction and changes in action. They state how ‘the ‘ideal’ Nordic child is th…
Education and working life: VET adults' problem-solving skills in technology-rich environments
2015
The rapidly-advancing technological landscape in the European workplace is challenging adults' problem-solving skills. Workers with vocational education and training need flexible abilities to solve problems in technology-rich work settings. This study builds on Finnish PIAAC data to understand adults' (N?=?4503) skills for solving problems in technology-rich environments. The results indicate the critical issue that more than two thirds of adults with vocational education and training have weak skills or lack the skills in solving problems in technology-rich environments and that more than one fifth of these adults are at risk. Furthermore, this study indicates that the likelihood of havin…

L'invenzione nel quotidiano
2018
Michel de Certeau in the book "The Practice of Everyday Life" proposes the dimension of creativity as a widespread and multidirectional process, fueled by social dynamics and individual "tactics", able to evade and transform the sense and the objectives of knowledge and institutional powers. The text sets out some elements of the complex thought of the French scholar, useful to enrich the debate, the language and the visions of contemporary design. In fact nowadays the notions of "invention" and "everyday life" are recurrent in the design discourse, especially with reference to the emergence of a society founded on the diffusion of network technologies, data accumulation, artificial intelli…

La città di Alphabet. Architettura per prosumers.
2021
Attraverso alcuni aspetti salienti dell’ideazione, della produzione e dell’opposizione al progetto del Toronto Quayside di Sidewalk labs, l’articolo discute l’influenza delle infrastrutture digitali per l’informazione sul progetto della casa e del quartiere. L’ampliamento delle attività svolte da remoto nello spazio domestico, enfatizzato dal quotidiano della pandemia da Covid 19, costituisce per gli oligopolisti planetari degli urban data come Alphabet un utile volano pubblicitario e un acceleratore. La fusione dei nuovi vessilli della tecnoemancipazione e della sostenibilità in ipotesi sperimentali che mirano a costruirsi sia per intero che per parti realizza un nuovo orizzonte in cui lo …
Iperestetica. Arte, natura, vita quotidiana e nuove tecnologie
2012
La società odierna è caratterizzata dall’eccesso, dall’esasperata ricerca di bellezza sia psico-fisica (dalla ginnastica allo yoga, dalla moda alla cosmetica, dalla chirurgia estetica all’ingegneria genetica) sia materiale (dagli abiti agli accessori, dal telefonino all’automobile). Di fronte a questa realtà in cui l’apparenza, il piacere e il divertimento sono divenuti, in ogni campo, gli obiettivi dominanti l’estetica deve sforzarsi di superare i confini “canonici” di un’astratta speculazione accademica al fine di orientare in senso pragmatico la sfera d’indagine. Diviene, quindi, sempre più urgente individuare nuove categorie e adottare più adeguati modelli epistemologici. Da qui l’ipote…
What makes the difference : PIAAC as a resource for understanding the problem-solving skills of Europe's higher-education adults
2019
The ever-evolving technological landscape is challenging adults' problem-solving skills. The central goal of higher education (HE) is to guarantee a high level of know-how, which is in line with the changing demands of technology at work and in everyday life. This study builds on European data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) to understand adults' (N = 53,407) skills for solving problems in technology-rich environments. The study provides insight into the socio-demographic, work-related, and everyday factors that are associated with a strong and a weak problem-solving performance. The results indicate that HE adults stand out from adults with…
