Giuseppe Samonà e la “spina dorsale” di Gibellina Nuova

2020

Nel 1970 Giuseppe Samonà coordina il gruppo di progettazione formato da Vittorio Gregotti, Gianni Pirrone e Alberto Samonà per il Progetto del Centro civico, commerciale e culturale di Gibellina Nuova. Del piano è realizzato il municipio e poi, rielaborato e in altro luogo, il teatro. I monumenti, fondati su un asse pedonale in quota connesso a un suolo artificiale articolato, esprimono l’unità architettura – urbanistica e anticipano, per certi versi, una riflessione successiva del Direttore dello IUAV sulla dialettica fra urbano e rurale.

FROM SEEKERS TO ACTIVISTS

2009

Media culture is a firm part of youth cultures today. Media can also be seen as one empowering technology in the information society alongside traditional school and government. What kind of civic identities are young people constructing in contemporary media culture? This article discusses media-saturated youth and audience agency, drawing on Dahlgren's ideas of civic culture. Relying on empirical data from two case studies in Finland, we will introduce a typology of civic identities, which the young construct as members of the public in relation to media. Our first case study is a youth civic website called Vaikuttamo.net and the second is the Youth Voice Editorial Board, which consists o…

Allestimento del Museo Civico nel convento dei Padri Cappuccini a Bisacquino, Palermo; Allestimento del Museo "La Fabbrica di Guglielmo" nell'Abbazia…

1. Scheda Allestimento del Museo Civico nel convento dei Padri Cappuccini a Bisacquino, Palermo. Il progetto di allestimento museale s’inserisce nel quadro specifico proprio del museo della cultura materiale. La qualità architettonica complessiva del convento dei frati cappuccini pone la necessità di armonizzare l’allestimento museale con il carattere specifico degli ambienti costitutivi il complesso claustrale, individuati, nel progetto di restauro dell’edificio, come spazi espositivi. Proprio l’intendimento dell’allestire “come arte del porgere; ovvero mostrare con misura e porgere con intelligenza” ha indotto verso scelte progettuali declinate in ragione del percorso narrativo del muse…

Capitale sociale pubblico e capitale sociale privato nel Sud

2010

Se intendiamo per capitale sociale pubblico il senso civico, per capitale sociale privato dobbiamo intendere la rete di relazioni sociali dell'individuo. Le regioni meridionali hanno meno capitale sociale inteso come bene pubblico. Ma anche famiglia e amicizia che sarebbero i porti franchi della socialità meridionale, mostrano nel tempo segni di deperimento.

Media education and educational commons for youth civic engagement. A case study from the Horizon 2020 project SMOOTH

2023

This study presents the preliminary findings of the first round of implementation of a case study included in the Horizon 2020 project SMOOTH. The project's main objective is to introduce and study the emergent paradigm of the educational commons as an alternative system of values and actions for promoting intercultural and intergenerational dialogue and establishing spaces of democratic citizenship that support the development of local communities. Our case study adopts this paradigm with insights derived from the field of media education. Hence, our research questions were as follows: (a) How do young people collectively experience and build the educational commons? (b) How do participant…

Alternative Systems: The Interplay between Criminal Groups’ Influence and Political Trust on Civic Honesty in the Global Context

2023

Individuals’ endorsement of standards of civic honesty is necessary for democracies to flourish. A critical driver of civic honesty is the relationship of trust between individuals and institutions. Research has yet to systematically assess the contextual factors that may moderate this relationship. In the present study, we examined the societal influence of organized criminal groups. Criminal groups operate as alternative systems of authority that erode the reliability of institutions' moral standards. We employed a new indicator that quantifies their societal influence to test the hypothesis that the association between individuals’ political trust and civic honesty would weaken in countr…

Measuring the ‘Bridging’ versus ‘Bonding’ Nature of Social Networks: A Proposal for Integrating Existing Measures

2010

Recent research illustrates that two distinct interpretations and operationalizations of ‘bridging’ and ‘bonding’ social networks co-exist in the literature (based on links between diverse networks or between socio-economic groups within a given network, respectively), and that these do not coincide in empirical applications. The present contribution first confirms this conclusion using data from the United Kingdom. Then, we suggest a simple way to integrate both existing approaches into a more general measure of bridging and bonding. Applying this more general index to UK and Flemish data, a) provides stronger empirical support for the idea that memberships in bridging groups are more str…

Social Embeddedness in Farmers Decision Making

2014

Reciprocal interactions among farmers and consumers can be seen as the central point of market exchanges in Civic Agriculture (CAs). This work exploits the concept of social embeddedness as a conceptual tool for describing some phenomena related to CA. Social embeddedness concept might help to understand how consumers and producers behave in the market beyond the paradigm of neoclassical economics theory. The objective of this study is to empirically evaluate which attitudes may influence farmers decision to participate to several types of CAs. Our results confirm the strong role of social embeddedness phenomenon in those forms of CAs characterized by personal relations between farmers and …
