Lo sfavillio contemporaneo della gioielleria tradizionale nel Sud Italia

2022

Il contributo riflette sul lavoro di raccolta, descrizione e interpretazione dei dati operato da Ottavio Cavalcanti in ordine all’oreficeria tradizionale, esitato in una documentazione di tipo audio-visuale, "La tradizione orafa in Calabria", che rappresenta un’attenta e accurata indagine sull’universo orafo calabrese. Fra i vari spunti che offre lo studio di Cavalcanti, uno in particolare ha attirato l'attenzione dello scrivente. Lo studioso dedica infatti ampio spazio della sua ricerca al lavoro e all’opera degli artigiani orafi calabresi, che ancora oggi propongono gioielli legati alla tradizione unitamente a proposte innovative destinate a una più ampia committenza.

Design of the stabilization control system of a high-speed craft

2016

In this paper, the main causes of technical malfunction of a hydrofoil was analyzed. In particular, a preliminary analysis evaluates the economic impact for the navigation company of the periodical maintenance related to the keeping of the vessel in dry dock. The study demonstrated that the main critical points are focused on the fragility of the stabilization control system. The increasing of operating costs has motivated the realization of a study aimed at redesigning the stabilization system. The continuing failure of the stabilization system (usually in water-immersed) severely limits the use of the high-speed craft. The proposed design solution considers the positioning of the control …

La tombe princière de Lavau et le concept d’un artisanat de cour

2018

The idea of crafts specifically linked to a high status court, with outstanding artisans who gravitated around a local prince took form during the study of objects from the Lavau tomb, the discovery of which has given scholars a rare glimpse of the riches contained within a high status tomb dating to the La Tène A1. These objects, from a tomb that is later than most tombs of this period, represent a standard Hallstattian funerary set but also include new La Tène objects. They highlight probable long distance relations involving the trade of luxury items of Mediterranean influence. These would have probably influenced or inspired local crafts people, who made objects in order to highlight th…

Teacher educators' collective professional agency and identity : Transforming marginality to strength

2017

Abstract This study investigated teacher educators' collective professional agency and identity within an identity coaching programme.

The study points to the importance of addressing individual narratives and learning pathways in seeking to understand emergent collective agency and identity in professional contexts. Our theoretical contribution includes an advanced understanding of collective identity and agency, and of their close re…

Construction Guilds in Southern Italy and the Islands (15th-16th Centuries): Leadership and Rivalries

2020

In the South of Italy and the big islands, in counter-trend with respect to the rest of the peninsula, construction guilds know a renewed vitality between the last decades of 15th and the beginning of 16th centuries. Rules, prerogatives and operative modes are regulated by statutes, often undersigned by the masters included in the trade organization, mentioning also the other actors involved in the approval processes. The intertwining of these and other archival documents sometimes reveals the leading role played within the guild by masters that overcome the anonymity usually considered to be inherent in the corporate system. Comparing the rules and the boundaries among specific trades esta…

IMPRESSIONI IN SICILIA

2014

“Impressioni in Sicilia” è la storia di una piccola azienda di design tessile che ha operato a Palermo dal 1974 fino al 1994. Proprietaria dell’impresa è Regine Hildebrandt, una svizzera trapiantata in Sicilia. La nascita di questo laboratorio s’inserisce in quel filone di esperienze finalizzate a incentivare il processo che vede l’incontro tra la cultura del progetto e la produzione artigianale, spesso legata alle tradizioni e alle risorse di alcuni territori. Gli oggetti progettati e realizzati da Regine hanno un valore durevole per la qualità dei disegni e dei materiali ma soprattutto, perché il suo progetto di ricerca è destinato all’identificazione e alla proposizione di “tratti cultur…

Fra nøster til baller : en studie av elevers møte med håndverk og materialer i et felles, utendørs veveprosjekt.

2016

Masteroppgave kunstfag- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Denne masteroppgaven handler om det didaktiske potensialet i kunst- og håndverksundervisning i skolen. Innholdet i skolens kunst- og håndverksfag er for tiden under debatt. Det foreligger et forslag fra departementet om å skille kunst og håndverk fra hverandre. Kunstdimensjonen og håndverkstradisjonen kan på mange måter ses på som hverandres motsetninger. Å lære seg å beherske et håndverk handler om å tilegne seg bestemte måter å gjøre ting på. Det handler om å ta til seg kunnskap og ferdigheter, som er knyttet til tradisjoner og systemer. Kunstens mål er å sprenge seg ut av bestemte måter, å flytte grenser og å utfordre tradisjoner. Jeg a…
