La questione del confine italo-francese sul Monte Bianco
2020
Even though the common interest of France and Italy in relation to their Alpine border should be enhancing co-operation on cross-border issues (such as improving climate change adaptation as well as preventing and managing risks) a dispute on the delimitation of the border in the area around Monte Bianco has arisen in last years. As any other international dispute on territorial borders, it presents three different plans of analysis: the interpretation of boundary treaties and their official maps; the legal weight of “other” maps; the relationship between the boundary treaty and subsequent practice of the Parties (above all the relevance of effectivités). This article shortly discusses thes…
THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABLE HISTORICAL CENTERS: THE CASE OF ROSETTE, EGYPT
2011
Historical centers of many Egyptian cities managed to survive as living cities in spite of physical decline and economic depression. Their fabric carries out the spiritual and cultural messages that communicate with their present citizens. The heritage of these historic city centers are not only Material character, but much more. Generally, the conservation of historic centers is fundamentally different from conservation of single monument. While a single monument can be kept on a chosen state of evolution, the historic centers cannot be preserved in particular state “with exception of the small areas conserved for tourist purposes”. The historic centers, as living cities must meet the vary…
The Strategic Cognition View of Issue Salience and the Evolution of a Political Issue : Landis & Gyr, the Hungarian Uprising and East-West Trade, 195…
2017
Why do firms facing similar stakeholder issues respond quite differently? The recently introduced strategic cognition view of issue salience and firm responsiveness (hereinafter: issue salience model) seeks to tackle this core question of stakeholder theory. I extend the nascent theorizing with a historical case study in order to rethink the model’s firm-centric perspective. The firm under examination in this historical case study is the Swiss multinational Landis & Gyr (LG) during the Cold War period. Like many other Swiss exportoriented companies in the 1950s and early 1960s, LG was challenged by Swiss pressure groups, which were highly effective at putting an issue on the public agenda: …
Le riflessioni di Poggi e Baratono su Marx e Kant
2020
Viene presa in esame la stretta relazione esistente tra la filosofia pratica di Kant e il materialismo storico di Marx nell’ampio e complesso contesto della cultura determinatasi in Europa a cavaliere dei secoli XIX e XX. A tale scopo, non si può trascurare l’analisi di quanti hanno rimarcato la stretta relazione tra la filosofia critica di Kant e il materialismo storico di Marx. In tal senso la memoria conduce immediatamente e in primo luogo alla chiave di lettura offerta da Alfredo Poggi ad inizio del Novecento. La linea interpretativa di Poggi fu in seguito ripresa da Adelchi Baratono, così come si può riscontrare sulle pagine de «La Critica Sociale» degli anni intorno al 1920.

Rethinking Vygotskian Cultural-Historical Theory in Light of Pepperian Root Metaphor Theory : Dynamic Interplay of the Organicism and Contextualism
2016
This article examines Vygotskian cultural-historical theory by putting it into dialogue with Stephen Pepper's root metaphor theory. I focus on Vygotsky's insistence on the dialectical unity of the phylogenetic and ontogenetic domains in ontogenesis, which he articulated in his account of how the natural-psychological and cultural-psychological lines of development merge with the emergence of speeching in ontogenesis. I compare Vygotsky's two genetic domains and Pepper's world hypotheses of organicism and contextualism. I argue that Vygotsky transcended what is often thought of as a fundamental dichotomy between organicism and contextualism. In accomplishing this effective reconciliation, Vy…
Contemporaneità Responsabile in ambiente storico: strumenti e ricerche tecnologiche
2020
Riteniamo che ci sia una pratica del fare in tema di Architettura che non possa più prescindere dalle ricadute che in senso globale abbia nei confronti dell’ambiente del tuo territorio. Il buon Architetto non dovrebbe essere del tutto convinto che le migliori pratiche vengano solamente dalla ‘innovazione’ Tecnologia in nome del progresso; oggi abbiamo il dovere di voltarci indietro ed osservare le Tecnologie già in uso e porle nuovamente in azione con ‘rinnovata’ attenzione. In futuro saranno proprio queste pratiche ‘adattive’ capaci di rigenerare l’Architettura; quindi innovazione associata a ‘rinnovamento’ tecnologico proporranno beneficio per nuove azioni del fare provenienti dal nostro …
À la recherche des maillages communaux d'antan. Présentation du projet ANR COMMUNES et de quelques résultats préliminaires
2020
The COMMUNES project aims: 1) to produce the first H-GIS in the world providing annualised boundary data for all French municipalities from the Revolution to the present day. Each spatial unit will include population data and metrics of access to networks of transport; 2) to develop a multimodal model of transport to allow the dynamic analysis of the relationship between economic and demographic changes and accessibility from the end of the 18th century to the present day; 3) to represent and analyse on a very fine scale some key demographic and socio-economic phenomena. Our method for reconstructing historic administrative boundaries combines the study of historical and cartographic source…

History as an explicative recourse and codifying aid in current academic works
2011
This paper analyzes the widespread presence of history and diachronic linguistics in the labour of codification recently carried out by Real Academia Española and Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española in their new books Nueva gramática de la lengua española and Ortografía de la lengua española. These works draw on a wide-ranging and reliable corpus of examples from previous historical periods.
