Into the development of relational tourism: opportunity and threats
2010
The article starting from the concept of "relational tourism" (Ruisi, 2004) suggests the use of two matrices ("complementarity" and "compatibility") for a better selection of the partners of a network of tourist firms (i.e. hotel companies). Moreover, the article presents an example of best practice in relational tourism: the cous cous fest in San Vito Lo Capo (Sicily)
Relational Ethnic Tourism in Sicily. Linguistic minorities and rural development.
2010
Mass tourism has contributed to the spread of English throughout the world, and to portrait local traditions and languages as archaic and folkloristic cultural traits, not a part of real life. Under globalization and the thrust to linguistic homogeneity, local minority language communities are going to weaken their cultural heritage, when conforming to English speaking mass tourists expectations. This is not, however, necessary nor unavoidable. Evidence of the contrary exists: in some cases tourism plays a fundamental role to preserve minority languages (Greathouse-Amador 2005). In the past, languages were not considered as attractors in tourist markets; they showed their potentialities to …

Rational-experiential thinking style and rational intergroup cooperation: the moderating role of intergroup conflict / Estilos de pensamiento raciona…
2016
AbstractCooperative relationships between groups are difficult because of the high human capability to differentiate between in-group vs. out-group members. This obstacle exists even when the groups can obtain benefits for themselves from cooperation with other groups (rational cooperation). Based on an interactionist approach, the authors propose that personal (individual differences) and situational (conflicts) factors contribute to rational intergroup cooperation. The authors conducted a preliminary correlational study (Study 1) and an experimental investigation (Study 2). In Study 1, the authors examined, with 105 participants, the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the R…
Towards a theory of transnational academic capitalism
2013
This article draws attention to the relative lack of theoretically and methodologically elaborated approaches to understand and explain the complex relations between transnationalization of higher education and globalization seen especially from the point of view of global capitalism. The main aim of this article is to contribute to the construction of a theory of transnational academic capitalism (TAC). A theory of TAC argues that those networks, practices and activities that are blurring the boundaries between higher education, markets and states are increasingly becoming transnational without supposing that this transformation implies that local and national levels are insignificant in s…
L'autovalutazione delle Soft skills organizzativo-gestionali e relazionali degli insegnanti
2018
L’interesse della ricerca anche in ambito internazionale converge sempre più sulla necessità di estendere la conoscenza dei fabbisogni formativi e professionali ad un’ampia gamma di competenze trasversali ritenute fondamentali per lo sviluppo personale e professionale del docente. Quali competenze connotano il docente professionista oggi? Quali azioni e dispositivi di autovalutazione possono supportarne lo sviluppo professionale? Il concetto di competenza rimanda ad una serie di conoscenze specialistiche necessarie, ma non più sufficienti per la formazione degli insegnanti: le competenze specialistiche necessitano di essere “orientate e finalizzate da metacompetenze progressivamente affinat…
