Sémiotique et critique de la culture

2017

Par rapport aux autres sciences humaines et à la philosophie, la sémiotique semble avoir quelque chose en plus, une capacité méta-critique. En effet, en tant qu’étude, à tous niveaux, du discours social en général, elle est également en mesure d’analyser de façon critique, grâce à ses modèles d’analyse, le discours scientifique lui-même, ainsi que le discours philosophique, en explicitant ainsi leurs conditions de possibilité et, donc, les limites historiques que rencontrent leurs fréquentes prétentions à l’universalité. Et cela, en soumettant également son propre discours à cette exigence critique. La critique sémiotique de la culture est donc toujours une mise en crise, un exercice de sus…

Digital Islamophobia: The Swedish woman as a figure of pure and dangerous whiteness

2016

This article addresses the digital culture of Islamophobic bloggers, focusing on the online circulation of a forensic photograph of a Swedish woman who was assaulted. The analysis shows how through appropriating this image, the bloggers created a unifying, imagined whiteness in the transnational Islamophobic network. The empirical analysis clarifies how this one image migrated and transformed in the blogosphere and legitimated the recurrent discursive trope of “Muslim rape.” This image became a subcultural “memory freeze frame” crystallizing the contemporary Islamophobic ideologies articulated in connection to race, ethnicity, nation, gender, and sexuality. The viral circulation of this im…

Phantom/liminal fat and feminist theories of the body

2017

This article brings together two concepts, ‘phantom fat’ and ‘liminal fat’, which both aim to grasp how fat in contemporary culture becomes a kind of material immateriality, corporeality in suspension. Comparing the spheres of representation and experience, we examine the challenges and usefulness of these concepts, and feminist fat studies perspectives more broadly, to feminist scholarship on the body. We ask what connects and disconnects fat corporeality and fat studies from ways of theorising other embodied differences, like gender, ‘race’, disability, class and sexuality, especially when thinking through their perceived mutability or removability, and assumptions about their relevance …

Women's Appearance as the Focus of Attention in Organizations

2019

This teaching case focuses on appearance and gender discrimination in the workplace. Previous studies show, for example, that appearance, women’s especially, can be an invisible mechanism of discrimination and interpreted as a justification for sexual and gender-based harassment. Prior research also indicates that women suffer from gendered ageism, also related to looks. However, issues about appearance are seldom analysed from the perspectives of organizational (mal)practices and women’s career barriers and problems. This teaching case presents the case of Anna. The case is meant for management and organization students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Anna is a well-educated youn…

TECNOLOGIE E STRATEGIE PER LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEI BENI CULTURALI E ARCHEOLOGICI - Technologies et stratégies pour la promotion du patrimoine culturel …

2014

I beni archeologici costituiscono un capitale di valore strutturato con propri elementi distintivi di identità e di autenticità. Valorizzare queste importanti risorse del territorio, significa potenziarne la conservazione e la tutela ed al contempo incrementarne la promozione e la fruizione responsabile. In questo processo di produzione di valore, il contributo della disciplina tecnologica si pone in modo propositivo e strategico: sia in termini di diffusione della conoscenza, potenziando l’interpretazione materiale ed immateriale del bene archeologico, attraverso l’uso di strumenti evoluti per l’analisi del reperto archeologico; sia nel miglioramento dell’utilizzazione pubblica del bene, n…
