Cultura, transformación urbana y empoderamiento ciudadano frente a la gentrificación: Comparación entre el caso de Getsemaní (Cartagena de Indias) y …
2016
La cultura se ha convertido en un elemento esencial en los procesos de transformación urbana, especialmente en los barrios céntricos de las ciudades históricas. Ello se explica por lo decisivo de su rol en cuanto a fomentar el consumo y la marca territorial en el marco de la globalización de flujos económicos y turísticos. Este papel de la cultura en la refuncionalización del espacio urbano ha sido reiteradamente criticado por diversos autores. Sin embargo, también se plantea que la cultura puede contribuir a revalorizar los barrios marginales construyendo una imagen positiva, y a empoderar a la ciudadanía contra la gentrificación. Asimismo, como se analizará en el caso de Getsemaní y del R…
The changing role of the English language in Finland : The role of English from the point of view of entrepreneurs in the metal industry in Southern …
2016
Englannin kielen käyttö yleisenä yhteisenä kielenä, lingua francana, on lisääntynyt niin maailmalla kuin Suomessakin erityisesti muutaman viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana. Globalisaation myötä muutos on ollut kiivasta myös yritysmaailmassa. Ulkomaalaisen työvoiman käyttö Suomessa, esimerkiksi rakennus- ja metallialalla, on lisääntynyt, minkä johdosta englannin kielen käyttö yhteisenä kielenä metallialan yrityksissä on selvästi kasvanut. Työyhteisöjen lisääntynyt englannin kielen käyttö ei siis koske vain suomalaisia monikansallisia yrityksiä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka aikanaan 1970- ja 1980-luvuilla ammattikoulupohjaisella tai pelkällä peruskoulupohjaisella koulutu…
Design ed eco-sostenibilità: le fibre vegetali in Sicilia tra tradizione ed innovazione
2012
Il dibattito sulla questione ambientale, sorto tra gli anni ‘60 e ‘70 del secolo scorso, con la formazione delle prime associazioni ambientaliste, ebbe come nodo centrale il rapporto tra economia e ambiente, nella sempre più evidente necessità di preservare la qualità del patrimonio naturale e nella consapevolezza che, essendo le risorse del pianeta tendenzialmente esauribili, dovessero essere rivisti ed equilibrati i modelli di sviluppo. Gli oggetti, secondo la lezione di Bruno Latour, simboleggiano stili di vita che comprendono al loro interno processi comunicativi e riguardano in ogni caso la sfera dell’informazione, dell’interazione, del ricordo e anche del desiderio. L’omologazione del…

Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Human Sciences. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.insanbilimleri.com/ojs/index.php/uib/article/view/2133/873 Open access. The contemporary idea of Bildung is in danger of becoming a concept of mere historical significance as its content is poorly elaborated upon in terms of underlying processes. The main aims of the present paper are to (1) argue that this concept must evolve by specifying its content or perish from contemporary use in educational settings (2) present a model of Bildung which builds on a combination of current global educational movements and basic adaptive psychological processes common…

COVID-19 and globalization
2020
The world is experiencing a major pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, the Coronavirus causing COVID-19. This disease first entered the human population in Hubei province, China, in mid-November 2019 and manifested in Wuhan, the largest metropolitan area of Hubei, when a cluster of patients were admitted to hospital with a ‘severe pneumonia of unknown cause’ in early December. Although humanity has survived previous pandemics by infectious agents, the present one is unprecedented in its capacity to take advantage of modern globalization allowing for massive transborder spread at a surprising speed. When writing these lines, the pandemic affects 181 countries and territories, with around 1,084,000…
