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…

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.

It addresses the issue of how to integrate content instruction with explicit teaching of academic liter…
Introduction. Penser les infrastructures des mondes automobiles : autodromes et circuits
2022
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).
