“Seconde generazioni”, identità e partecipazione politica
2020
Il volume si colloca nell’attuale dibattito sociologico sulle “seconde generazioni”. Questo concetto presenta problemi definitori che rievocano questioni più profonde legate alla doppia appartenenza culturale di questi giovani. Il volume si articola in due parti. Nella prima sono approfonditi aspetti teorici ed empirici relativi ai giovani di “seconda generazione” e ai loro percorsi di costruzione identitaria e di partecipazione politica, fortemente segnati dalla mancanza di riconoscimento come cittadini, dalle discriminazioni subite e dai sentimenti di esclusione provati. Nella seconda parte viene effettuata un’analisi quali- quantitativa (con il supporto del software T-Lab) di un corpus e…

Crossing Disciplinary Knowledge Boundaries and Bridging the Gap Between Science Education Research, Educational Practices, Society and Citizens: Inqu…
2020
It is widely acknowledged today that an Inquiry-Based approach to Research and Innovation processes can improve the interest of students in studying scientific topics. Such approaches can enable students to have the opportunity to interact with cutting edge topics, research results and work with researchers and other societal actors to better align research processes and their outcomes with the values, needs and expectations of today's society. However, there is still no clear consensus between researchers about the impact that inquiry-based approaches have on the student scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding at different ages and cultural levels. This paper discusses these aspe…
Regenerating Landscape from Resilient Citizens: Parco Uditore, Three Years of "Low Cost Landscape"
2016
In the always surprising capital of Palermo, a hidden garden of opuntia indica relics has been discovered again after decades of oblivion, due to the work and the unceased promotion made by a huge group of citizens, students, teachers and volunteers. In this 9 hectares area owned by the regional government of Sicily since a long time ago (1963), the remains of a dense opuntia plantation characterizes a green forgotten area, casually survived to the building growth of Palermo. Along three decades (1963‐1993) after being a military underground stowage plant for fuel in WWII, the Fondo Uditore is still a full opuntia place, where the sweet fruits and the green and prickly “leaves” where sold r…
La povertà vista da Sud, tra diseguaglianze e diritto alla città. Il caso di Palermo
2020
Nei territori estesi della post-metropoli, le diseguaglianze, e i più ampi diritti di cittadinanza, investono differenti popolazioni urbane. Dai diritti negati ai nuovi arrivati (immigrati, rifugiati, ecc.), alle difficoltà di accesso alla casa di porzioni sempre più significative di abitanti tanto dei centri urbani quanto dei sobborghi suburbani, fino alla richiesta di servizi da parte degli abitanti delle estese periferie suburbane. Il presente contributo affronta la domanda di conoscenza più stimolante e, al medesimo tempo, più allarmante sui processi di regionalizzazione dell’urbano, ossia quella relativa alla rilettura socio-spaziale della crescita delle diseguaglianze e delle forme di…
CO2 reduction exploiting RES for EV charging
2017
The world is facing an urgent need to reduce emissions, limiting pollution for a better quality of life. This objective has to be reached by all cities and governments worldwide. This paper focuses on the field of transportation, which is greatly responsible for air pollution, mainly in cities and urban areas such as towns, airports and seaports. The diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) enables a significant reduction of air pollutants emitted by combustion engines; however, their recharge can affect the total pollution by their increasing energy demand. A solution is the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to charge EVs. This paper analyzes the feasibility of integrating EVs and RES, foc…

Five Years of the Citizens Directive in the UK - Part 2
2011
This two-part article reviews how the UK authorities have fared in the practical application of Directive 2004/38/EC in the five years since it entered into force. It identifies and examines the most common problems faced by EU citizens when seeking to have their rights recognised by the UK authorities applying the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 by reference to questions and complaints received by Your Europe Advice. In examining the experience of EU citizens and their family members living in the UK, account is taken of a number of recent judgments of the European Court of Justice concerning EU citizenship, including Metock, Lassal, Eman & Sevinger and Ruiz Zambrano.…
