I beni relazionali nei gruppi di formazione universitaria: un contributo di ricerca

2009

The aim of the study is to identify relational goods in the transcriptions produced by sound recording of a median group experience at University of Palermo. In particular, the present work proposes to analyze the most representative qualities of this phenomenon and summarized them in the following indicators: 1) emergent fact; 2) recognition; 3) solidarity. Our theoretical hypothesis is based on the fundamental group analytic epistemological assumption that defines relation as the beginning of the development of human psyche and considers the Group a primary matrix in which originate subjectivity and human relationship (Lo Verso, 1994; Mitchell, 2000).

A Joint Reading of Positional and Relational Goods

2012

Both relational and positional goods are based upon an idea of joint consumption – though with opposite signs. Indeed, in both cases, individuals’ consumption choices take into account not only the individuals themselves, but others, as well. Given that relational goods provide a form of identity to their consumers, we show that a certain degree of positionality emerges within the consumption of relational goods. Analogously, except in a two-agent context, each positional good also has a relational component. What emerges is a complex structure of economic outcomes based on both relational and positional motives.

Relational Goods: Costs and Effectiveness

Our society has undergone a great technological evolution but insufficient development about the psychic and relational maturity. In this article we affirm that group analysis and the clinical group can give a great contribution to the development of relational goods. These relational goods can become the great political objective for humanity in the third millennium. Furthermore, we believe that a therapeutic and systematic treatment can be useful in terms of costs and effectiveness.

Lo sviluppo rurale tra qualità agroalimentare e ambiente

2013

The demand to the agriculture sector of products ever more diversified and with ever greater contents of quality, as well as the growing attention for health, environmental and ethical content has led to synergistic and enhancement actions between the various functions of agriculture and in particular between the environment and rural development. This can be transformed into a competitive advantage when it becomes a strategy to diversify the business activities, and determine a reallocation of production factors on agricultural production in favor of environmental and social functions that allow to generate additional incomes. Because business success goes hand in hand with that of the ter…
