Quel "mezzo pollice" di materia
2012
Il capitolo contiene una riflessione sul ruolo delle superfici architettoniche nei monumenti e nei contesti antichi. Nel tentativo di tracciare l'evoluzione del concetto di restauro fino all'indirizzo attuale, il contributo richiama, tra gli altri, il pensiero di John Ruskin e Alois Riegl, che hanno evidenziato il valore di autenticità e rimarcato il ruolo delle superfici nella percezione dell'architettura storica, contestando i restauri distruttivi in corso in molte città (come il restauro della Basilica di San Marco a Venezia). This chapter includes a reflection on the role of architectural surfaces in monuments and ancient contexts. In attempt to trace the evolution of the concept of res…
Self treating in the moderne era
2013
In the modern era, self healing is to respond to situations created by medicine. Its effectiveness, its limits, its interventions, its practice, its tendency to medicalize existences, its inclusion in market economy are as many factors that interact with the self healing ability as attest the disruption of the patient's identity schema during interventions to repair physical trauma, chronic patient which depends on medicine, the medicalization of the aging. As well the task assigned to the modern man is to escape from enslavements, weathering effects, interferences generated by medical activities. In this sense, self healing is, on the one hand, to decrypt the aims of medicine and to determ…

Understanding the fluctuations of perceived authenticity in cultural tourism : an investigation of Bali and Alsace contexts
2022
The marketing of cultural tourism faces a dilemma between maximizing the economic return and nurturing the culture’s social functions. It needs to attract segments driven by cultural motifs, through a differentiation based on authenticity. Perceived authenticity changes over a time, but how it does remains elusive to researchers. This research investigated fluctuations of existential authenticity in cultural tourists in Bali. Participants were purposively and conveniently-sampled among visitors of cultural attractions. It comprised two stages: qualitative for building the model, and quantitative fortesting the variables. The first employed Grounded Theory interviewing 24 visitors, found the…
Balenciaga, the Master of Haute Couture
2020
This chapter deals with Balenciaga, a brand that carries the name of the designer known as “The Master of Haute Couture”, one of the most revered and influential fashion designers of the twentieth century. Characterized by sculptural quality, deft manipulation of textiles, and dramatic use of color and texture, Balenciaga creations are inspired by works of art and become works of art themselves through overlapping forms and genres. In this way, artification turns an elitist–but still commercial product—into a hybrid that acquires aesthetic and symbolic value and restores that aura lost due to production logics. Following this perspective, the main contribution of the chapter is to highlight…
Współczesny (neo)nomadyzm a edukacja kulturowa
2014
The aim of the article is to notice the cultural-cognitive character of the contemporary travel. Chasing the exotic, understood as a trial to save the authentic, has gained much strength in the world threatened by cultural unification. The vision of the world not touched by the Western culture has become a perfect selling material. This trend has been confirmed by incredibly popular traveling programs, as well as a rich and original offer of the traveling agencies, tempting clients with meeting the world of the Masai, Hamer or Mursi tribes. In the age of globalization the cultural tourism is an important alternative to mass travel, mainly aimed at entertainment.
Wine and Terroir(s) : an Identity between Myth and reality
2020
To speak about wine is obviously a sign of socialization, but is also a trend, which is part of the global interest in gastronomy. In order to build up discourses on wine, which heavily draw on marketing communication, referring to AOP and AOC labels and classifications does seem to be necessary but not sufficient, as the notion of ‘terroir’ has become prominent in many discourses and on a variety of media. The crave for authenticity and proximity permeates gastronomy and oenology markets, and the idea of terroir alone seems capable of just responding to this crave. Terroir can be seen as a warrant of identity offered by wine growers and makers, but is also demanded by consumers in quest of…
Using movies in EFL teaching : the point of view of teachers
2011
Koska kieltenoppijat ovat nykypäivänä entistä homogeenisempi ryhmä, kaivataan vieraan kielen opetukseen vaihtelevia ideoita ja opetusmetodeja. Elokuvat ovat muun muassa autenttisuutensa ja monikanavaisuutensa vuoksi hyödyllinen keino opettaa vierasta kieltä, myös englantia vieraana kielenä. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten suomalaiset englanninopettajat käyttävät elokuvia omassa opetuksessaan ja mitä mieltä he ovat elokuvien käytöstä viidellä eri kieltenopetuksen osa-alueella: suullisen kielitaidon, kirjoittamisen, sanaston, kieliopin ja kulttuurin opettamisessa. Tutkimus toteutettiin internet-kyselynä kevään 2011 aikana. Vastaajat valittiin satunnaisesti Länsi-Suomen eri kaupun…
