Videogames and Inclusive Education project in Palermo Secondary School
2017
Attempting to support videogames for education and learning purposes has prompted considerable attention over the last years. The great variety of digital games available has provided much for educators and researchers to explore, resulting in intense disputes that many games have benefits both in and out of the classroom for learners of secondary school. Many games have been revealed as strong educational tools for their design as well as their effective implementation in the classroom. Thus far, research on the impact and outcomes of this pedagogy is somewhat limited, but promising. Further projects and evaluations are required to provide the support needed in order to encourage more teac…
Advertising in disguise? How disclosure and content features influence the effects of native advertising
2020
Abstract Native advertising has recently become a prominent buzzword for advertisers and publishers alike. It describes advertising formats which closely adapt their form and style to the editorial environment they appear in, intending to hide the commercial character of these ads. In two experimental studies, we test how advertising disclosures in native ads on news websites affect recipients’ attitudes towards a promoted brand in a short and long-term perspective. In addition, we explore persuasion through certain content features (i. e., message sidedness and use of exemplars) and how they affect disclosure effects. Results show that disclosures increase perceived persuasive intent but d…
L’intervention psychologique à domicile : une pratique de funambule auprès de patients atteints de pathologie somatique grave et de leur famille
2016
Resume Ce travail ouvre une reflexion sur une forme de pratique du psychologue peu repandue qu’est la visite a domicile. Le psychologue doit pouvoir se deloger des reperes lies a la pratique de l’entretien clinique classique. A partir de rencontres a domicile avec un patient atteint d’une pathologie somatique grave et sa famille, nous proposons d’interroger la specificite de ce lieu et en quoi, il peut biaiser la creation d’un espace de pensee. Le delicat exercice pour le psychologue, tel un funambule, consisterait a instaurer une permanence du cadre dans un cadre mouvant qu’est l’espace de vie d’un autre. Ce theâtre du domicile favoriserait chez le patient un recours a l’agir prenant la fo…
Entangled photographers: Agents and actants in preschoolers’ photography talk
2020
Photographs taken by young children have engendered a growing amount of research across diverse academic disciplines. Photographs have been used as visual data for analysing for example children’s social relations and well-being. However, only a few studies have addressed the photographic practices of young children as means for them to explore, imagine and coexist with the surrounding world. In this article, I introduce a case study that draws on research from art education and sociology of childhood. The data were gathered in a photography workshop in a Finnish early childhood education and care centre, where fourteen preschoolers discussed their photographs inspired by contemporary Finni…
On some difficulties of putting in dialogue animal rights with anthropological debates: a historical view in three episodes
2018
In this paper, I try to identify the reasons why the dialogue between sociocultural anthropology and animal rights theories and movements continues to be difficult and scarce. At first sight this weakness of communication is surprising, if one looks at the amount of anthropological studies on human/animal relationships, in most cases pointing to how animals are considered in many cultures as non- human subjects or persons. For understanding the roots of this state of affairs, I compare the ways anthropologists and animal rights theorists and activists have engaged with the issue of the differences and commonalities between human beings and nonhuman animals. For this aim, I contrast the sear…
How to study bureaucracies ethnographically?
2019
We propose a short epistemological and methodological reflection on the challenges of doing ethnographical research on public services (‘bureaucracies’) from the inside. We start from the recognition of the double face of bureaucracy, as a form of domination and oppression as well as of protection and liberation, and all the ambivalences this dialectic entails. We argue that, in classical Malinowskian fashion, the anthropology of bureaucracy should take bureaucrat as the ‘natives’, and acknowledge their agency. This means adopting basic anthropological postures: the natives (i.e. the bureaucrats) must have good reasons for their seemingly ‘absurd’ (or arbitrary) practices, once you underst…
L'histoire du droit constituée en discipline : consécration ou repli identitaire ?
2001
La reconnaissance de l’histoire du droit en tant que savoir est la consequence du developpement de l’Ecole historique allemande du droit. L’histoire du droit est-elle une science methodologique ou une pure connaissance erudite ? La question n’a pas fait l’objet de reponses claires de la part des disciples de Savigny. Quand des chaires d’histoire du droit furent creees en Italie, en France ou en Allemagne, le risque etait grand d’un isolement des nouveaux specialistes de la matiere, conduisant a une rupture avec les autres sciences humaines. Cet article essaie d’expliquer cette evolution dans l’histoire de la pensee juridique et des facultes de droit en Europe.

Empiricism and Relationism Intertwined: Hume and Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
2016
Einstein acknowledged that his reading of Hume influenced the development of his special theory of relativity. In this article, I juxtapose Hume’s philosophy with Einstein’s philosophical analysis related to his special relativity. I argue that there are two common points to be found in their writings, namely an empiricist theory of ideas and concepts, and a relationist ontology regarding space and time. The main thesis of this article is that these two points are intertwined in Hume and Einstein.
