“Stop whining and be a badass”: a postfeminist analysis of university students' responses to gender themes
2021
PurposeThis paper critically examines how female students at a Finnish business school understand gender in management.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is based on female students' learning diaries from a basic management course.FindingsThe findings show how students respond to the topic of gender inequality through a neoliberal postfeminist discourse. The students' discourse is structured around three discursive moves: (1) rejecting “excessive” feminism, (2) articulating self-reliant professional futures and (3) producing idealized role models through successfully integrating masculinity and femininity.Originality/valueThis article contributes to current understanding of the role of…
Algunas consideraciones sobre el arte en México de las décadas de 1990 y 2000
2016
Titulo : “Algunas consideraciones sobre el arte en Mexico de los 1990s y 2000s” Resumen : En los ultimos 25 anos, una forma distinta de hacer, exhibir y circular arte en Mexico se incorporo a la economia global con ayuda de fondos publicos y privados. El arte en Mexico de los 1990s y 2000s abarca la transicion de una reflexion sobre las promesas rotas de la modernidad desde un punto de vista periferico, y un desafio a la hueca imagen de mexicanidad y su institucionalizacion, a lo que se conoce como “arte contemporaneo”. La liberalizacion del mercado llego de la mano con la liberalizacion de la identidad, construcciones historicas y la hibridez-pastiche mestiza de lo postmoderno, dando lugar…
Theorizing religion and media in contemporary societies: An account of religious ‘publicization’
2011
This article argues that a combination of the rapid development and dissemination of media technologies, the liberalization of national media economies and the growth of transnational media spheres is transforming the relationship between religion, popular culture and politics in contemporary societies in ways not adequately accounted for in existing sociological theories of religion (secularization, neo-secularization and rational choice) and still largely neglected in sociological theories of media and culture. In particular, it points to a series of media enabled social processes (de-differentiation, diasporic intensification and re-enchantment) which mirror and counter processes identif…
Identità nazionale, monarchia, impero. Costruire la Spagna nell'età del liberalismo (1782-1868)
2018
Nella storiografia sulla Spagna contemporanea i termini nazione ed impero, costruzione nazionale e imperialismo sono spesso rappresentanti come tra loro contraddittori o autoescludenti. Con i processi rivoluzionari americani del primo quarto del XIX secolo, la dimensione imperiale spagnola avrebbe ceduto il passo a quella prettamente nazionale, dove le diverse famiglie liberali, attraverso un processo rivoluzionario, prima introdussero un sistema monarchico costituzionale e poi si scontrarono per l'articolazione politica e culturale interna della nazione. Secondo tale lettura, solo durante la Restauración borbonica e con la crisi del 1898, sarebbe riemersa una "coscienza imperiale" come com…

Designing Deliberation Systems
2010
In a liberal democracy, the evolution of political agendas and formation of policy involves deliberation: serious consideration of political issues. Modern day political participation is dependent on widespread deliberation supported by information and communication technologies, which also offer the potential to revitalize and transform citizen engagement in democracy. Although the majority of web 2.0 systems enable these discourses to some extent, government institutions commission and manage specialized deliberation systems (information systems designed to support participative discourse) intended to promote citizen engagement. The most common examples of these are political discussio…

Managing the liberalization of Italy's retail electricity market: A policy proposal☆
2020
Abstract Italy will phase out electricity retail price regulation by July 1st, 2020. Until then, residential customers and small businesses who do not choose their supplier are served under a regulated tariff named “maggior tutela” (greater protection), supplied by the local distributor at a price set by the regulator. We review the literature on electricity retail competition – with particular regard to its expected effects on prices, innovation, and customer engagement – and the conditions under which competition is expected to deliver benefits. We perform a Structure-Conduct-Performance analysis of Italy's retail electricity market for residential customers, finding two issues potentiall…
Autorizzazioni amministrative e liberalizzazione dei mercati tra diritto europeo e diritto interno
2018
Il libro ripercorre le trasformazioni della disciplina nazionale delle autorizzazioni amministrative per l'influenza del diritto dell'Unione europea che ha profondamente modificato la base giuridica del potere autorizzatorio. Dopo un'ampia premessa dedicata all'affermazione delle politiche di liberalizzazione in Europa, un'ampia parte del lavoro è rivolta ad esaminare i nuovi principi in materia di procedimenti autorizzatori che si possono ricavare dalla giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia e dalla normativa europea. Inoltre, sono analizzati i cambiamenti che hanno riguardato i diversi settori nazionali in cui trovano applicazione le autorizzazioni amministrative, per dimostrare la progr…
