Miradas urbanas del profesorado iberoamericano desde la cultura visual
2018
We are interested in knowing if there is a proper view of the teaching staff towards the urban reality. We start with verbal and visual descriptions, through images and texts. The research has been developed in Santiago de Chile, Valencia, Lima, Medellin, Montevideo and Buenos Aires, and combines direct participatory actions with personal interviews. The methodology follows a mixed method and is based on a case study that is complemented by research based on the arts. We concluded that there is a particular view of the teaching group towards their own city, which is full of critical reflection. This is a topic that has been little addressed and needs more attention.
Participación ciudadana y posverdad: la amenaza de la posverdad participativa
2020
Citizen participation is presented today, within the political discourse, as the legitimizing and revitalizing panacea par excellence of the worn and reviled representative democracy. However, the instruments that supposedly promote it, the language with which it is proposed and the enormous force with which the ‘post-truth’ has broken into the political landscape, capable of imposing on the public opinion an adulterated and falsified version of reality has not only caused the citizen to withdraw and distrust the regenerative force of the current participatory paradigm. Even more, we must be on our guard against the extraordinary manipulative power that is contained in the conjunction of pa…

Partycypacja obywatelska na poziomie lokalnym — przykład miasta Opola
2020
The issue of citizen participation at the local level becomes important in the practice of Polish cities. How-ever, it should be noted that the initiatives on participation in social consultations undertaken in this area are of an optional nature. The experiences of individual urban centres regarding the involvement of residents in this type of political participation are probably very diverse. The participation of the local community en-ables real recognition and taking into account the needs and expectations of the residents regarding shaping their immediate environment. Thus, it influences the improvement of the quality of life and the optimization of the urban offer. Bad experiences fro…

The discourse types with high occurrence in the public sphere of communication with the authorities are: open letter, petition, appeal, resolution of opinion, and comments in the social media (e.g. on Facebook).

The themes of public magazines are varied, most often „ hot cases ” referring to decisions currently taken by the authorities. …

Why Enforcing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is Morally Questionable
2008
Docketed literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) exhibits heated contentions on the nature of business-society relations. This paper seeks to explore this contentious issue in the light of contemporary incorporation of CSR in business strategic plans. It notes that enforcing CSR on business might lead to its manipulation to advance corporate organisations’ purely self-interested ends rather than pursuing intrinsic philanthropic activities for the good of society. An insight into the undesirable consequences of enforcing CSR is given. Using Kantian ethics, the paper notes that the instrumental use of CSR by corporate organisations is immoral because it does not treat CSR as an en…
Waste management e comportamento ecologico nell’era del Covid-19: Dallo stigma dei rifiuti alla cittadinanza ambientale
2022
La pandemia da Covid-19 ha avuto un forte impatto sulle vite dei cittadini, portandoli a ricontestualizzare il rapporto con l`ambiente e la concezione del waste management, un settore di servizi complesso la cui mission può essere raggiunta solo grazie alla co-partecipazione. Il presente lavoro traccia alcune ipotesi di ricerca circa il senso di cittadinanza ecologica nel post-Covid e su come i servizi di waste management possano ridurre, attraverso l'alleanza con l'utenza, le percezioni negative del proprio business. Dal momento che le organizzazioni stigmatizzate soffrono dei pregiudizi negativi, per i quali sono ritenute moralmente responsabili rispetto alla propria inefficienza, i servi…
