Angela Zucconi e il Centro di Educazione Professionale per assistenti sociali (1949-1963)
2016
In questo articolo viene ricostruito l’impegno educativo e sociale di Angela Zucconi che, negli anni del secondo dopoguerra, fu coinvolta dai coniugi Calogero nella direzione del Cepas (Centro di Educazione Professionale per Assistenti Sociali). La sua proposta pedagogica, orientata a realizzare un’educazione degli adulti civica e comunitaria, faceva dell’assistente sociale un educatore che doveva possedere la qualità di un maestro capace di destare gli altri a se stessi, affinché si facessero interpreti della società in vista della sua trasformazione in una democrazia partecipata dal basso. This paper retraces the educational and social commitment of Angela Zucconi that, in the post-war pe…
Les commissions de quartier à l’épreuve de l’intelligence du social
2016
The notion of intelligence of social relationships enables to explore the communicative approach of participatory democracy. Citizen life is no longer only restricted to putting a ballot into a ballot box but is getting towards true cooperation between the various actors of public communication.
Una nueva forma de hacer política: dar la voz a la militancia ¿realidad o mera apariencia?
2020
Political parties have been accused of being controlled by an elite or caste that has looked more for their own interests than for general interests. A new way of doing politics and new parties has appeared whose stated objective has been to return the voice to the militancy, assuming that it had been kidnapped by the inbreeding elites of the parties. This paper analyses whether the parties, whose power has traditionally been built from top to bottom, have assumed this change that would mean that power flows from the bottom up or has simply taken a cosmetic operation that apparently responds to this new way of doing policy, although the power is still in the hands of a minority. Summary:1. …
Epistemic Turn or Democratic U-Turn? On the Tension between Philosophical Reasoning and Political Action in Deliberative Democracy
2012
Il diritto di partecipazione nell’esperienza delle Comunità Autonome Spagnole e le esigenze di proceduralizzazione degli strumenti partecipativi.
2020
La forte e ormai sistemica crisi delle democrazie rappresentative contemporanee ha costituito un terreno fertile per la proliferazione di modelli rimediali, sviluppati sotto l’egida della democrazia partecipativa e dell’ideale deliberativo. Nonostante la casistica ricomprenda strumenti di diversa natura, si è lontani dall’affermazione di una disciplina organica della partecipazione. Si propone, dunque, l’analisi della disciplina adottata a livello autonomico in Spagna. In tale contesto, le soluzioni adottate a livello substatale in Spagna esprimono una evidente strategia uniformatrice che ha consentito di individuare e delineare un diritto autonomico di partecipazione cittadina. Tale soluzi…
Problématiser la démocratie environnementale
2015
Problematizing the environmental democracy: Can online eco-citizen participation rescue the institutional participation? The rise of the digital society came with a series of hopes picturing a liberating technology. At the same time, political institutions call for a better integration of citizens in the public affairs’ government. Knowing that this injunction to participation does not generate a massive mobilization, to what extent can online discussion platforms help to give new life to citizen participation? This issue will be brought up through an analysis of Community Management in a socio-technical perspective, as a part of our PhD Research Program.
School Staff-centered School Development by Communicative Action: Working Methods for Creating Collective Responsibility - From the Idea to Action
2020
School development is often seen as a concerted (re-)action to educational policies, curriculum development, and change in education laws or regulations, and sometimes, as stakeholders’ reactions to low school performance. Generally, school development incorporates organizational, managerial, and educational activities and measures. This is done to adapt to the new situation to achieve the desired changes and goals initiated by a given curriculum reform. In contrast, this paper focuses on school staff–driven development: It describes how teachers together with paraprofessionals contribute to school-development. Using collective responsibility creating working methods of communication, the e…
Building and Testing a Comparative Interface on Northwest European Historical Parliamentary Debates : Relative Term Frequency Analysis of British Rep…
2022
Tensions between the people and parliament over representation are a normal feature of representative democracies. In this paper, we demonstrate how digital humanities analysis tools help in answering questions about the timing of debates on popular representation, tensions over its realization, and representatives’ changing perceptions on their parliamentary role. Our long-term approach to the conceptual history of political representation is based on the analysis of digitized parliamentary debates as nexuses of multi-sited political discourse. We combine computer-assisted distant and context-sensitive close reading to consider diachronic trends and synchronic political struggles surroundi…
