Letture operaiste di Gramsci. Il caso Negri
2020
This article aims to analyze the relationship between Antonio Negri and the political and philosophical categories of Antonio Gramsci. It is my intention to resume, from the Sixties of the last century to nowadays, the stragegical uses of Gramsci’s thought by Negri. According to me, we can divide four periods in the theoretical framework of Negri. In the first one, Gramsci is an author incompatible with the workerist strategy of class struggle. In the second one, there is a sort of use of Gramsci against Gramsci. Pointendly, Negri tries to subtract the author of the Prison Notebooks from the prerogatives of the Pci. After the arrest of Negri in the 1979, Gramsci’s figure became more ambiguo…

2005
En el presente artículo se pretende subrayar la importancia de que desde el Trabajo Social y la Educación Social se profundice en el conocimiento y la utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) como recurso y requisito para la intervención socioeducativa.

En este sentido, se destaca la necesidad de que …
Sense of coherence and burnout in nursing home workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Spain
2021
Abstract Care staff in nursing homes work in a challenging environment, and the COVID‐19 pandemic has exacerbated those challenges in an unprecedented way. On the other hand, the sense of coherence (SOC) is a competence that could help these professionals perceive the situation as understandable, manageable and meaningful. This study aims to analyse the extent to which potential risk and protective factors against burnout have affected nursing home workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic and to assess the contribution of these factors to their burnout. Three hundred forty professionals who worked in nursing homes in Spain completed a survey and reported on their sociodemographic characteristic…
Algo más que el adiós al marxismo. El XXVIII Congreso del PSOE y el derecho de autodeterminación
2021
El XXVIII Congreso del Partido Socialista Obrero Español, celebrado en mayo de 1979, ha sido recordado por la célebre renuncia de Felipe González a la Secretaría General. El PSOE se había reafirmado como marxista y González acababa de perder el debate nominalista sobre la definición del partido. Aquel impacto emocional y mediático permitió ocultar tras los fuegos de artificio otros debates de mayor trascendencia práctica que también se dieron cita en aquel encuentro. Entre ellos, el que tenía que ver con su modelo de política autonómica. Desde 1979 estaba en juego cómo iba a construirse el Estado de las Autonomías, y el PSOE tenía la oportunidad de establecer en la resolución sobre autonomí…
