AMBIENTE COSTRUITO E SOSTENIBILITÀ – Materiali riciclati e Design for Disassembly tra ricerca e buone pratiche
2020
In the context of environmental emergency of which the construction sector is one of the main causes – since it consumes 40% of the (embodied and operational) energy and produces about a third of the total waste – and due to the ambitious objectives set by the international community and by many countries to reduce the environmental impact of buildings during their whole life cycle, this paper wants to make a contribution to the understanding of the state of the art on cycle-based research activities, sustainable experiments and good practices that the building industry and the academy have implemented in recent years. In particular, it refers to cycle-based theoretical and experimental act…
Re-forming Rome exhibition: a pedagogical machine
2017
Il contributo descrive il contributo dell'Unità di ricerca di Palermo alla mostra “Roma 20-25. Nuovi cicli di vita della metropoli”, inaugurata il 18 dicembre 2015 nella sala Claudia Gian Ferrari del Museo MAXXI di Roma, occasione di confronto con le altre 24 università internazionali che hanno aderito al progetto. Per un mese, la mostra è stata anche l’occasione per mostrare al pubblico gli esiti del progetto Roma 20-25, un mese in cui i visitatori hanno potuto osservare i 25 progetti proposti per Roma, interrogarsi sul futuro della città e sul loro potenziale come attori del processo mentre apprezzavano la ricchezza di visioni, pensieri, approcci e linguaggi differenti di cui ogni scuola …
Verso un nuovo paradigma culturale per il design
2016
Dopo la dimensione economica e quella sociale, oggi la dimensione culturale è la più adatta a fondare la comprensione delle trasformazioni in atto. Anche la disciplina del design modifica e amplia il sua campo d’azione attraverso approcci che si basano sempre più sulle persone e i loro diritti culturali, la loro espressione identitaria e comunitaria, la loro richiesta di partecipazione ai processi ideativi e produttivi. Si aprono scenari nuovi per “ il mondo reale”, ma anche per una nuova “cultura immateriale” che può e deve dialogare con la “cultura materiale”, concetto che, tenendo assieme aspetti tecnici e simbolici degli artefatti, ha sostenuto la nascita del design come disciplina “met…
Il linguaggio dei diritti
2008
Il saggio discute le caratteristiche costantemente esibite dalle norme che istituiscono diritti fondamentali, con particolare riferimento alla loro dimensione linguistica; tali caratteristiche sono quindi messe in relazione a specifici problemi interpretativi e di ragionamento giuridico
Conceptual Metaphors and Social Action. Divine Sex as Political-Economic and Gender Paradigm in Ancient Mesopotamia
2023
Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyse, through a gender and anthropological perspective, the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it become, over the millennia, paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexual…
Los beneficios del mar: negocios e inversiones económicas de la oficialidad naval en el siglo XVIII
2019
Throughout the eighteenth century, the Spanish navy was extensively reformed and enhanced as a consequence of the new model of Monarchy that the Bourbons introduced. Among the measures adopted, it is remarkable the erection of the naval officers corps according to the needs and obligations that maritime war had in this century. This group becomes the paradigm of the new professionalization and new training approach, and its members had great relevance due to its great mobility around the empire and the power of the naval institution. This means that a part of the naval officers were placed in privileged positions and at the intersection of diverse political, social and economic networks. Th…
Acetaldehyde as a drug of abuse: Involvement of endocannabinoid- and dopamine neurotransmission
2014
Acetaldehyde (ACD), the first metabolite of ethanol, directly enhances dopamine neurotransmission (1) and has rewarding and motivational properties in paradigms tailored for studying addictive-like behaviours (2, 3). The endocannabinoid system affects distinct drug-related behaviours, since it may in turn fine-tune dopamine cell activity (4, 5). In light of this, the present study aimed at investigating the effects of a direct manipulation of the DAergic synapse, and the contribution of the endocannabinoid system on oral ACD self-administration in rats. ACD drinking-behaviour was evaluated in an operant paradigm consisting of acquisition and maintenance; extinction; deprivation and relapse;…
Evidence-based programming language design : a philosophical and methodological exploration
2015
Background: Programming language design is not usually informed by empirical studies. In other fields similar problems have inspired an evidence-based paradigm of practice. Such a paradigm is practically inevitable in language design, as well. Aims: The content of evidence-based programming design (EB-PLD) is explored, as is the concept of evidence in general. Additionally, the extent of evidence potentially useful for EB-PLD is mapped, and the appropriateness of Cohen’s kappa for evaluating coder agreement in a secondary study is evaluated. Method: Philosophical analysis and explication are used to clarify the unclear. A systematic mapping study was conducted to map out the existing body of…
La pedagogia nell'età contemporanea. Oltre il paradigma positivistico.
2022
This chapter is dedicated to the twentieth century, where pedagogy underwent a profound transformation becoming a science capable of critically reflecting on education and taking on the characteristics of a specific, complex and more articulated knowledge. Thanks to this brief history of contemporary pedagogical epistemology, it is explained why pedagogy needed to create new paradigms of scientific research.
PERSONA
2020
Nell'epoca di una grandiosa metamorfosi della condizione umana, la persona sembra ridiventata problema a se stessa. Si sono estenuate le filosofie che hanno costituito l’orizzonte di senso della nozione di persona; si avverte il bisogno di giustificarla con un una nuova fondazione filosofica. Il testo propone di ritrovare la dimensione originaria della persona, innanzitutto giustificandola come «possibilità della fenomenologia»; viene fatto nella prima parte, con un costante riferimento alle proposte di Edith Stein e di Dietrich von Hildebrand. Proprio questi fenomenologi, però, hanno innestato nel tronco della fenomenologia le categorie della metafisica classica; la Stein, in particolare, …
