La cultura ci salverà? Processi di touristification a base culturale nel centro storico di Palermo

2023

Negli ultimi tre decenni la cultura ha avuto un ruolo chiave nella costruzione delle politiche urbane, divenendo uno strumento decisivo nella definizione delle strategie di sviluppo economico e nell’accesso alla competizione globale che caratterizzano l’attuale regime di neoliberismo urbano (Miles e Paddison 2005). Anche nel sud Europa la cosiddetta rigenerazione a base culturale ha rappresentato e continua ancora oggi a rappresentare una vera e propria ortodossia urbana, che trova nel turismo tanto una ragione di esistenza quanto un campo di attuazione. In particolare, negli ultimi anni i centri storici di molte città sudeuropee sono stati oggetto di trasformazioni profonde in cui pratiche…

Within this framework Palermo and its historic center are no exception. The epicenter of these processes is represented here by the Kalsa district which since the early 2000s has been placed at the center of a precise strategy of culturally-based renewal called to drive the city's tourist renaissance (Vinci 2008). The culmination of this path came in 2018 when Palermo was named the Italian capital of culture and chosen as the venue for Manifesta one of the most prestigious traveling biennales of contemporary art. However the exponential increase in tourist arrivals in the last three years came to a halt with the outbreak of the pandemic which showed with unprecedented evidence the contradictions of the development strategies pursued in the historic center and the marks they leave on the territories. While this sudden interruption seems to offer an opportunity to radically rethink urban and cultural policies and find new curbs to the conditions of overtourism in which the historic centers of South European cities and beyond find themselves it could also prove to be an accelerator of the dynamics of commodification of these spaces representing the revival of tourism an easy escape route in times of crisis. The objective of this contribution is to critically explore the urban and social transformations that have crossed the Kalsa district of Palermo from the 2000s to the present using qualitative and quantitative techniques (analysis of statistical data in-depth interviews critical discourse analysis ...) with particular reference to the role that culture has played in these processes. While it is impossible to prefigure post-pandemic scenarios we will examine documents and discourses that trace possible development directions for South European cities and their historic centers.Settore ICAR/21 - UrbanisticaSettore M-GGR/01 - Geografia

First of all, the authors inquired students in order to find out their attitude to the UCIS. The inquiry results show evidence that an important role in the acquisition of UCIS has the work/study material – data. The UCIS work/study material can be associated with various branches, including health care. The data of the health care patients are of a special status.

Tiempos felices: Transformaciones en las tecnologías psicológicas de gobierno de la subjetividad

2020

This paper traces some inflections in the psy disciplines? discourses and technologies for the government of subjectivity during the last decades. It is focused on exploring different mechanisms through which psychological disciplines ?their discourses, techniques and practices? penetrate social life and contribute to establishing subject models consistent with transformations in the political and economic rationalities of late capitalism. Drawing on previous research in the field of gender politics and happiness discourses in the pop psychological culture, I track a line with three moments: i) the production of psychological individuality and identity normalization; ii) the proliferation o…

Presse de gauche, autodromes et courses de vitesse. L'Humanité et Le Populaire aux prises avec l'essor des sports automobiles (1920-1939)

2022

IV. Sous le signe de la détente ? Popularisation des autodromes et des sports mécaniques (1934-1939) V. Conclusion, perspectives Résumé : La presse socialiste et communiste est mobilisée ici comme première entrée pour la définition d'un discours « de gauche » sur les autodromes et les courses automobiles. Les archives du Populaire et de L'Humanité sont interrogées et comparées pour la période 1920-1939, à travers des méthodologies visant à croiser les discours « ordinaires » sur ces objets et ceux qui se déploient à l'occasion de « grands événements » (Grand prix de l'Automobile Club de France, 24 heures du Mans). Au fil du temps, et d'un quotidien à l'autre, l'attention accordée au sport a…

Helping Low Achievers to Succeed in Tertiary Education: Explicit Teaching of Academic Literacy as a Way to Positive Educational Experiences

2016

Since tertiary schools in Poland have started admitting all low-achieving students who are willing to continue their education, there is an urgent need to help the low-achievers, who have become a majority in many classes, to stay and succeed in college. Academic teachers are facing the challenge of how to adapt their teaching to suit the needs of these students. The paper looks for a way to teach an introductory linguistics course to students of English whose academic skills are insufficient for tertiary study, but the discussion is relevant to teaching all introductory academic courses. It addresses the issue of how to integrate content instruction with explicit teaching of academic liter…

Circuits et courses automobiles dans la France du Nord : « le territoire du vide » ? (XIXe-XXIe siècle)

2022

L’histoire des circuits automobiles dans le Nord de la France s’apparente à ce jour à un « territoire du vide ». Une historiographie peu conséquente, des corpus archivistiques incertains, une distribution « historique » des pratiques et du spectacle sportif régional qui repose encore largement sur les « sports de base » et les sports collectifs, rendent ces « mondes automobiles » peu visibles. Il s’agira ici, à partir d’une approche spatiale, d’en retracer la genèse et d’inscrire leur développement ainsi que leurs usages dans une temporalité étirée (XIXe-XXIe siècles).
