Di rammendi e consapevolezze: la cura per le periferie di Palermo
2014
Commoning tra Brobdingnag e Laputa: il caso di Villa San Pio a Partinico (Palermo)
2016
La crisi del welfare state sta causando, tra le sue conseguenze, anche una sempre più ridotta disponibilità di intervento da parte dei Comuni italiani. In alcune aree già problematiche per ragioni socio-economiche e soprattutto politiche, peraltro, tale crisi prefigura una totale assenza degli enti pubblici nei contesti urbani più periferici. L’obiettivo del presente contributo consiste nell’analisi di un caso studio specifico (Villa San Pio a Partinico), per poi indurre – secondo un principio ermeneutico e un processo qualitativo – alcune considerazioni generali sul ruolo dello spazio pubblico urbano come bene comune. L’area di Villa San Pio nasce, nelle previsioni di un Piano di Zona del …
Guano-related phosphate-rich minerals in European caves
2019
International audience; Guano is a typical deposit found in caves derived from the excretions of bats and in minor cases of birds. These organic deposits decompose and form a series of acid fluids and gases that can interact with the minerals, sediments, and rocks present in the cave. Over sixty phosphates are known and described from caves, but guano decay also often leads to the formation of nitrates and sulfates. In this study twenty-two European caves were investigated for their guano-related secondary minerals. Using various analytical techniques, seventeen phosphates, along with one sulfate (gypsum), were recognized as secondary products of guano decay. Among those minerals, some are …
La scuola adotta e progetta il quartiere. Un’esperienza di progettazione partecipata a Palermo
2020
This chapter describes two research-action experiences that the authors have carried out over the last few years and which are linked to the themes of the Laboratorio del Cammino, as they frequently use the neighborhood walk technique as a tool for territorial knowledge and basis for a participatory planning of the neighborhood itself. The activities described stem from the many years of cooperation between the Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo and the School Department of the Municipality of Palermo. The experiences made within this collaboration constitute the scientific substratum that has allowed the writers to export the methodology in other initiatives that were …
Risk narrations and perceptions in the COVID-19 time. A discourse analysis through the Italian press
2020
This paper explores how the risk related to the pandemic of COVID-19 was managed, narrated and perceived in Italy during the lockdown phase, from February until June 2020. To reach this aim, the study provides a discourse analysis of three main level: the official institutional discourses declaimed by the government and the health authority; the risk narration spread through the diaphragm of the Italian press, and specifically through two of the most-read newspapers in Italy (Repubblica and Corriere della Sera) and their related weeklies (Venerdì di Repubblica and Sette); finally, the diverse reactions and perceptions to the risk coming from the most affected and most vulnerable subjects, c…
From the Metropolitan Areas to the Post-metropolitan Dimension
2021
This chapter introduces a description of the two main areas that will be discussed throughout the book: the metropolitan region of Palermo and South-Eastern Sicily. The chapter starts with a socio-economic analysis describing the characteristics of demography, employment and income in these two parts of Sicily, by comparing them to the situation of other areas in Italy. A spatial analysis of housing and land use complements the socio-economic outlook. Each section describes the most consolidated trends in these areas, but also discusses the most innovative changes and the challenges Sicily has been facing over the years.
Architettura e Potere. Peter Eisenman, intervista di Gregorio Carboni Maestri e Simona de Simoni.
2012
La relazione tra architettura e potere risulta complessa da molti punti di vista. Ogni forma di potere, infatti, rappresenta e amministra se stessa attraverso dispositivi spaziali e architettonici. Lei come interpreta questa relazione? Si potrebbe dunque sostenere che soltanto l'opera ha potere, ma non l'architetto?
Educación Geográfica y las salidas de campo como estrategia didáctica: un estudio comparativo desde el Geoforo Iberoamericano
2016
Las salidas de campo integran algunas de las principales estrategias didácticas y prácticas pedagógicas utilizadas por profesores de diferentes disciplinas escolares. En la Geografía, numerosas publicaciones académicas y experiencias de enseñanza han sido divulgadas en eventos científicos, artículos y libros. Haremos aquí un estudio de cómo las salidas de campo o visitas de estudio han sido abordadas en la educación geográfica en los países ibero-americanos, en especial en los estudios realizados en Brasil y España. El objeto que queremos abordar en este estudio tiene como núcleo básico el Foro 21, realizado en el Geoforo Iberoamericano, iniciado en febrero de 2015. En él se discutían las s…
