Multi-Destination Trips and Tourism Statistics: Empirical Evidences in Sicily
2012
Abstract The knowledge of the actual magnitude and main features of tourism flows in a given destination is an essential prerequisite for the evaluation of tourism impacts and externalities. Indeed, many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit to more than a single destination. Although the topic is well-documented in literature, the empirical results are limited to a few pioneering studies. The lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviour. This can be seen, for example, in the system of European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 95/57 EC), where information on the average number of v…
Miasto (a)polityczne: rzecz o pragmatyczności i ideologiczności polityki lokalnej
2016
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przede wszystkim spojrzenie na politykę lokalną z perspektywy politologicznej i zaproponowanie rozumienia przestrzeni polityki lokalnej jako pola, które wbrew dominującej narracji politycznej jest polem o charakterze ideologicznym. Artykuł został podzielony na dwie podstawowe części - w części pierwszej zajmujemy się przede wszystkim stroną teoretyczną całego zagadnienia - zostają przedstawione założenia teoretyczne polityki lokalnej, jej właściwości, a także kwestia polityczności i ideologiczności tego poziomu sceny politycznej. W drugiej naszą intencją jest bliższe przyjrzenie się aktualnej praktyce politycznej w tym ostatnim kontekście - bazując przede wsz…
Cartografías de la desigualdad : una década de conflictos de vivienda y nuevas resistencias en Santiago de Chile. Análisis del conflicto de la Maestr…
2018
RESUMEN La vivienda es en todo el mundo uno de los motivos de conflicto social más importantes en cualquier ciudad. En el caso chileno y con el movimiento de pobladores, los conflictos por la vivienda han cobrado además un protagonismo social y político muy relevante. El objetivo de este trabajo es, en primer lugar, realizar una actualización de la geografía de los conflictos de vivienda en Santiago de Chile; y en segundo lugar, analizar cómo el repertorio de protesta y las narrativas de los movimientos de pobladores han innovado y evolucionado notablemente desde su apogeo de los años sesenta hasta 1973, aumentando aun si cabe su complejidad, como veremos con un caso de conflicto: el proyec…
Effects of electrical stimulation pattern on quadriceps isometric force and fatigue in individuals with spinal cord injury
2015
Introduction Variable frequency trains (VFT) or train combinations have been suggested as useful strategies to offset the rapid fatigue induced by constant frequency trains (CFT) during electrical stimulation. However, most studies have been of short duration with limited functional application in those with spinal cord injury (SCI). We therefore tested force and fatigue in response to VFT, CFT, and combined patterns in strength training-like conditions (6-s contractions). Methods Ten SCI individuals underwent either CFT or VFT patterns until target torque was no longer produced and then switched immediately to the other pattern. Results Target torque was reached more times when VFT was use…
Anticipatory postural adjustments during joint action coordination
2019
International audience; There is a current claim that humans are able to effortlessly detect others’ hidden mental state by simply observing their movements and transforming the visual input into motor knowledge to predict behaviour. Using a classical paradigm quantifying motor predictions, we tested the role of vision feedback during a reach and load-lifting task performed either alone or with the help of a partner. Wrist flexor and extensor muscle activities were recorded on the supporting hand. Early muscle changes preventing limb instabilities when participants performed the task by themselves revealed the contribution of the visual input in postural anticipation. When the partner perfo…
Más allá de Marx: postobrerismo y posmarxismo. Una revisión de los fundamentos teóricos de la multitud y el pueblo
2018
The article is a synthetic essay that exposes the main theoretical lines of the postmarxist approach of Laclau and Mouffe, on the one hand, and the autonomist post-operaism of Negri, Hardt, Virno, etc., on the other hand. These theories are conceived as attempts to rationalize current political bets by various political sectors and social movements. It analyzes both argumentative strategies from «orthodox» Marxism and the structure / superstructure relationship; and the forms of constitution of new subjectivities. It compares the theoretical fundamentals of hegemonic articulations and counter-power experiences. It discusses, likewise, the scope and limitations of the categories of «people» …

La politisation de l'ordinaire : Enjeux et limites de la mobilisation numérique
2015
This article examines the politicization processes of ordinary digital practices as well as its role in the constitution of new protester groups. Its interest is also represented by the construction of an original theoretical framework aiming to underline the complementarity between different theoretical perspectives. By encouraging a connection between the sociology of social movements, the critical Theory and the studies of “information practices”, the author elaborates a new approach to mobilisation focused on the emergence of a more and more citizen's engaged position with regard to the “information world” and not only based on militant uses of the media. While claiming a critical appro…
