Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo

2022

Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…

Olsen 2018Settore ICAR/21 - UrbanisticaSettore M-GGR/01 - GeografiaSacco and Blessi 2009). In the current (post-) pandemic context and through the lens of a southern European perspective the purpose of this article is to critically reflect about the role of culture as possible vehicle of urban and community regeneration. In particular we will focus on the activities of the no profit organization «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in ZEN2 one of the last large popular and peripheral neighborhoods built in Palermo at the end of 80s in order to explore and understand how cultural practices work as agent of urban and social transformation capable of addressing emerging issues especially in the pandemic scenario we are experiencing. Thecasestudy has been conducted through analysis of documents participative observations (Honer and Hitzler 2015) and qualitative in-depth interviews with key actors involved in the conception organization and management of the activities carried out by Laboratorio Zen Insieme with representatives of local institutions and non-formal conversations with participants of the workshops heldin the neighborhood. The experience we narrate finds that cultural practices have re-conceptualized their design and functions as strategies of urban and community regeneration and at the same time have contributed to answer to emergent issues in developing proximity and local based strategies facing up to problems inherent civil rights educationalpoverty socio-spatial justice and have changed the image and identity of urban places they inhabit.In this sense the research provides a framework for development of strategies and legitimization for cultural practices and a point of discussionabouttheirrolein urban development.Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic its impacts on the territories yet to be understood are unevenly distributed revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places.

In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and groups a response to the new social and individual needs has been offered by cultural institutions that play a role of territorial agency often independently or in the absence of political institutions. Far from the idea of entertainment and divertissement it is in fact increasingly clear how the practices of cultural innovation experimenting with various forms of action and participation can in some cases play a fundamental role in the processes of social cohesion and community building representing an antidote to the worsening of the phenomena of marginalization and socio-spatial inequalities within cities and territories (Colantonio and Dixon 2011

Lo civil en el Código napoleónico y la libertad de los modernos

2020

RESUMEN:El propósito de este artículo es explicar el cambio de significado que lo civil sufre en el Código napoleónico. Me centro, a tal efecto, en el discurso preliminar pronunciado por Portalis en la presentación del proyecto de 1801, y comparo su concepción con la de Montesquieu. Para este último, las leyes civiles son aquellas que regulan las relaciones de los ciudadanos entre sí, a fin de garantizar el mantenimiento y la unidad de la comunidad política. Portalis pretende, en cambio, que esta misma función de cemento cívico la desempeñe un Código civil que se ocupa únicamente de esa esfera privada en la que los individuos disfrutan de su propiedad. Como muestro en la conclusión, Benjami…

A scale on beliefs about children's adjustment in same-sex families: reliability and validity.

2012

In this study, we developed a new instrument named Scale Beliefs about Children's Adjustment on Same-Sex Families (SBCASSF). The scale was developed to assess of the adults' beliefs about negative impacts on children who are raised by same-sex parents. An initial pool of 95 items was generated by the authors based on a review of the literature on homophobia and feedback from several focus groups. Research findings, based on a sample of 212 university students (mean age 22 years, SD = 8.28), supported the reliability and validity of the scale. The final versions of the SBCASSF included items reflecting the following two factors: individual opposition (α = .87) and normative opposition (α = .…

Tiesības uz labvēlīgu vidi un to īstenošanas tiesiskās problēmas Latvijā

2013

ANOTĀCIJA Ideju par cilvēka tiesībām uz vidi parasti saista ar cerībām, ka šo tiesību īstenošana destruktīvo attieksmi pret vidi varētu aizstāt ar „zaļāku un tīrāku” sabiedrību. Latvijā tiesības uz labvēlīgu vidi ir vienas no cilvēka pamattiesībām. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt tiesību uz labvēlīgu vidi būtību un analizēt šo tiesību aizsardzības praksi Latvijā, lai veidotu labāku izpratni par cilvēka tiesību uz vidi institūtu. Darbu veido divi pētniecības virzieni. Pirmais ir cilvēka tiesību uz vidi būtības konceptuālo un teorētisko aspektu analīze, bet otrais – tiesu prakses pētniecība. Darba saturiskā struktūra veidota, pirmkārt, lai tiesības uz vidi būtu iespējams apskatīt no trim perspektīvām…

The Freedom to Be Free. Riflessioni su uno scritto di Hannah Arendt recentemente edito per la prima volta

2018

Un saggio di Hannah Arendt è rimasto inedito per oltre 50 anni. Su quelle carte non è apposto un vero titolo, ma solo: A lecture. Il testo sviluppa uno dei temi più cari all’autrice: le diverse declinazioni della libertà e il loro rapporto con la rivoluzione. Manca di data, ma, essendo presenti molti riferimenti all’attualità, è facile dedurre che esso sia stato scritto tra la fine del 1966 e il 1967. Si tratta di un saggio apparentemente poco originale, poiché riprende molte idee espresse altrove, soprattutto nel grande trattato Sulla Rivoluzione pubblicato nel 1963. Tuttavia è interessante vedere come alcuni concetti già apparsi in altre pubblicazioni vengano impiegati per leggere gli acc…

Have the constitutions of the new latin american constitutionalism succeeded?

2018

Resumen Desde la decada de los noventa del siglo pasado, America Latina esta experimentando un ciclo de procesos constituyentes democraticos que suele conocerse en la doctrina como nuevo constitucionalismo. Decadas despues de su aprobacion, cabe analizar criticamente los efectos de esta corriente que buscaba mejorar la situacion social, democratizar la politica y transformar el Estado. El presente articulo de investigacion se plantea cuatro preguntas: 1. ?Las Constituciones han servido para mejorar las condiciones de bienestar de los ciudadanos?; 2. ?Se ha podido limitar el poder de los organos constituidos?; 3. ?Ha disminuido la desigualdad y la pobreza?; 4. ?Ha mejorado la situacion de lo…

Los derechos fundamentales como normas jurídicas materiales en la teoría de Robert Alexy

2011

RESUMEN. La teoría de los derechos fundamentales de Robert Alexy se fundamenta en un concepto material de norma jurídica que es de carácter doble. Por un lado, se define por los rasgos propios de los principios, en consonancia con la idea de argumentación correcta. Pero, por otro lado, sigue teniendo peso la validez jurídica de las normas que contienen derechos fundamentales, consideradas como reglas constitucionales. Tal y como se argumenta en el trabajo, esta ambigüedad de la teoría de la norma de Alexy permite distintos acercamientos, positivistas y no positivistas, que es signo de su riqueza teórica. ABSTRACT. The theory of the civil rights of Robert Alexy is based on a material concept…
