How older and younger people see technology in Northern and Southern Europe : Closing the generation gap

2016

Background Mental representations of technology can be affected by many social and biological factors. The aim of this study was to test the effects of two of these factors, age and culture, on how people mentally represent and experience technologies by comparing the conceptions of old and young people in Spain and Finland. Both Spain and Finland are European countries, but they are historically, geographically, and culturally very different. Method The study is framed within the life-based design (LBD) paradigm, where culture and age interact to define particular forms of life in which technology might be used and perceived differently. We hypothesised that there are differences in the me…

Affective contents of cross-cultural audiovisual experience

2015

Audiovisual presentation of a product has a direct impact on the mental representation of an individual when interacting with a product. Companies produce audiovisual contents that can be used in different cultural environments as a way of having broader impact at a cheaper cost. But do video contents have the same impact in different countries? We addressed this question by using images and videos of Iittala products (Finnish design) with the goal of finding whether participants from two countries, Finland and Spain, appraised the designs similarly. We performed an experiment in which participants interacted with three audiovisual products depicting images/videos of the brand design. Throu…

Introduzione al volume Crescere/Svilupparsi

2020

Complessivamente 12 sono i saggi che compongono questa raccolta dedicata alla riflessione antica e moderna sulla crescita e sviluppo delle forme di vita. Ogni saggio rappresenta un vero e proprio viaggio che attraversa diverse regioni del sapere: i classici antichi, greci e latini, sono in effetti quantitativamente predominanti, e questo a ragione dei prevalenti interessi scientifici dei curatori, i quali però si sono ben guardati dall’isolare il ‘classico’ nella sua idiosincratica prospettiva ante litteram, ma hanno cercato e trovato la collaborazione con altri settori della ricerca scientifica. Il che si traduce nella partecipazione al progetto editoriale e scientifico anche di antropolog…

Cuerpos de energía: Formas alternativas de ser-en-el-mundo

2020

Based on an ethnographic approach, this paper explores how members of a new age spiritual movement known as ?Llave Mariana? (LLM) build and experience their bodies. At the same time, it develops a thick description of their ritual practices and later it analyzes, delving fundamentally into the phenomenological perspective, how these members shape and transform their forms of self-perception, experience, and representation of others and the environment. Finally, it considers the implications these spiritual practices have in the search and consolidation of alternative ways of being-in-the-world

L’efficacité de la communication pour la marque de destination urbaine. Représentations de touristes et de résidents

2019

Face à la concurrence, l’enjeu des destinations consiste à se différencier en développant une identité spécifique. La communication touristique joue alors un rôle capital dans la formation de l’image touristique de la destination. Toutefois, la multiplication des campagnes de communication des différentes strates territoriales ainsi que la couverture médiatique des divers événements peuvent brouiller l’image des destinations. Les recherches universitaires dans ce domaine étant peu nombreuses, il importe d’étudier l’efficacité de la communication des différentes strates territoriales envers une destination urbaine sous l’éclairage de la théorie des représentations sociales. À partir d’une co…

Evolution of nurses' social representation of hospital hygiene: From training to practice

2011

Nurses' social representations of hospital hygiene were analyzed. A cross-sectional method was used to compare and analyze the social representations of the concept domain of "hospital hygiene" across three independent groups of participants (N=744). The groups included: (a) professional nurses (N=114); (b) student nurses (N=315); and (c) psychology students (N=315). Comparisons were drawn: (a) between professionals and students; and (b) between student nurse cohorts at three different levels (years) of training. The results show an ongoing evolution of the social representations of hospital hygiene during training and in the course of professional practice. The representation of hospital h…

Postmetropoli in contesti al 'margine'

2014

Il sud Europa, ad eccezione del nord Italia, è considerato come una porzione 'marginale', la 'meno globale' del continente e fino a poco tempo fa c'era chi lo dipingeva come appartenente al 'Terzo Mondo'. La Sicilia e  considerata al limite di questa 'marginalità' e, per molte ragioni, lo è. Eppure, nuovi processi sono in corso. I territori siciliani stanno attraversando notevoli fasi di cambiamento fisico, sociale ed economico, mostrando una transizione, per molti aspetti inedita, verso forme post-metropolitane. Si tratta di aree per molti aspetti paradigmatiche in grado di restituire le diverse nature del 'post' sotto il profilo spaziale, economico, demografico e sociale. Si affronterà, d…

La contestación a los próceres. Pugna de facciones y desórdenes en Valencia (1376-1478)

2021

La intermitencia de los ataques verbales y escritos contra las decisiones de gobierno de la ciudad de Valencia a lo largo de un siglo se inscriben en una dinámica absorbente, liderada por partidos rivales de la oligarquía, capaces éstos de asumir reivindicaciones grupales ajenas y de arrastrar a parte de los ciudadanos y de los menestrales bajo fórmulas clientelares. Las circunstancias concretas de las protestas superaron los cauces institucionales previstos en una asamblea municipal renovada anualmente y con amplia representación social, la cual se demostró más como plataforma para la adhesión de los vecinos respecto a los líderes de la sociedad política y menos como órgano de discusión po…

Linguistic representation of ethnicities in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag

2018

Tässä tutkimuksessa analysoidaan Assassin’s Creed: Black Flagia, suosittua historiallista seikkailuvideopelia (Ubisoft, 2013). Peli kertoo monisyisen tarinan, joka antaa pelaajille mahdollisuuden olla vuorovaikutuksessa hyvin kirjoitettujen, kolmiuloitteisten hahmojen kanssa. Pelihahmot edustavat lukuisia eri etnisiä ryhmiä ja heidät on sijoitettu huolellisesti rakennettuun historialliseen kontekstiin. Pelin monipuolinen ja monikielinen tapahtumapaikka on myös tärkeässä asemassa ja kieli on siinä erittäin tärkeä immersion, maailmanrakennuksen ja tarinankerronnan väline. Pelidiskursia analysoitiin sosiolingvistikan, proseduraalisen retoriikan, narratologian ja aiemman historiallisia seikkail…

Femminicidi a processo. Dati, stereotipi e narrazioni della violenza di genere

2021

Il volume espone i risultati di una ricerca sulle rappresentazioni del femminicidio in ambito giudiziario in Italia, illustrandone il quadro teorico, le scelte metodologiche, l’impianto analitico, gli strumenti. La tematica del potere e della diseguaglianza tra i sessi è analizzata attraverso le definizioni fornitene in ambito giuridico e nei codici penali, esplorandone i significati sociali e questionando i possibili ancoraggi politici ed economici, attraverso il modello del “campo giuridico” di Bourdieu quale luogo di espressione di una forza simbolica che contende il potere ad altri “campi sociali”. L’indagine empirica è condotta attraverso un triplice livello di approfondimento di natur…
