2014

In reflecting upon the role of environmental capital as represented by old towns in smart cities, the author reveals the consequences of re-plastering the facade of ancient buildings while emphasizing the resulting risk of globalization of historic districts.

Small towns between Globalization and Sustainability

2011

I piccoli centri urbani rappresentano una frazione significativa della popolazione totale in molte regioni del mondo. Molti di questi centri hanno subito modifiche in seno alla loro economia e tipologia a causa della globalizzazione e dei cambiamenti economici del mondo avvenuti già nella metà del ventesimo secolo. L’economia locale indipendente delle piccole città, che è stata assorbita dall’economia globale, ha determinato la perdita delle identità locali e la loro stessa qualità di vita. In tale ragione risiede l’importanza di una progettazione urbana sostenibile - intesa come l’interazione tra economia, ambiente e benessere sociale – finalizzata a conservare i valori locali delle piccol…

THE GLOCAL STRATEGY OF GLOBAL BRANDS

2010

A few years ago, globalization was the new paradigm in international business, however from a branding perspective it has lost its initial efficiency giving the fact that consumers do not seem to feel a connection anymore with the standardized products of global corporations, catered to them in mass marketing communication programs. With their centralized decision making, most companies simply stopped having a connection with the new global marketplace and neglected its emergence. Hence, the influence of local characteristics arose, and with that a new term that encapsulates the global and the local – glocal. “Glocalization” encourages companies to “think global, act local”, and they could …

Cuerpos moldeables y vidas modulables: La invención del estado holísticamente saludable como bienestar (integral)

2020

The article argues ?from the Deleuzian concepts of society of control, moulding and modulation and the Rosean theory on the economization and medicalization of life? that the expansion of the concept of health in terms of integral and subjective well-being is the effect of a socio-historical shift in the way we relate to this signifier, and therefore to our bodies and ourselves.
