“Poisonous plants” or schools of virtue? The second “rise” of the novel in eighteenth-century Spain
2007
If Spanish literature (both Catalan and Castilian)had played a central role in the development of fictional prose narrative from the fifteenth century, the late eighteenth century witnessed a second "rise" of the novel, consisting not only of original works, but also of translations, in connection with changes in reading practices and new models of domesticity and sensibility. This essay focuses on moral debate about the sentimental novel, showing how it was both politicised (new types of fiction being usually perceived as foreign and subversive) and gendered, and how it contributed to shape women's uneasy relation to the novel in their reading and writing.
Los debates sociocientíficos: Un recurso para potenciar la competencia argumentativa en las clases de Física y Química
2013
En un centro público de educación secundaria de la ciudad de Valencia se realizaron debates socio-científicos en las clases de Física y Química durante los últimos cuatro cursos académicos en los niveles de 3º y 4º ESO y 1º de Bachillerato con la intención de mejorar la competencia argumentativa de los alumnos. Se observaron resultados positivos a lo largo del tiempo probablemente como consecuencia de las actividades realizadas. Se constata que estas mejoras son más fáciles de conseguir en el discurso escrito que en los debates orales. Los debates sociocientíficos son valorados muy positivamente por los alumnos en general y en algunos casos consiguen un cambio de actitud de alumnos pasivos …
Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo
2021
L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…

Landfill Culture: Some Implications to Degrowth
2016
To some extent, waste is just one more sign of the unsustainability of growth. Waste from industrial and socio-economic metabolism must be understood as any unusable material left over after a job, function or operation has been completed, which however, retains the ability to disrupt natural systems and interfere with them as one of its inherent properties. As part of such waste, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) represents the unusable (or underused) and rejected fraction of the material resources mobilized by the sophisticated urban and/or industrial ecosystem. Although the volume of MSW is relatively small compared to other waste types, it is increasingly important as a result of its steady r…
Desafíos para el mantenimiento de una esfera pública democrática en la sociedad digital
2023
El presente trabajo se propone analizar cómo el creciente protagonismo de las redes sociales en el debate público puede implicar –de forma contraintiutiva- serios riesgos para la construcción y el mantenimiento de una esfera pública democrática. Para ello, en primer lugar, se identificarán las que hasta ahora han sido consideradas como características esenciales de una esfera pública democrática, exponiendo cómo dichas características han sido reconocidas y protegidas en los ordenamientos jurídicos –tomando como referencia el ordenamiento jurídico español. Enumeradas estas características, el trabajo analiza cómo la dinámica de las redes sociales puede poner en jaque cada una de ellas. Pres…
INNOVAZIONE DEI MATERIALI NATURALI: TERRA E NANOTUBI DI ARGILLA PER UNA SFIDA SOSTENIBILE
2019
All’interno del dibattito culturale che vede la questione ambientale come prioritaria e con riferimento a studi e ricerche che negli ultimi anni hanno promosso materiali compositi a base di terra cruda, gli Autori, consapevoli della necessità che il rapporto fra Progetto e Materia debba assumere una nuova centralità supportato dalle specificità della Tecnologia dell’Architettura, illustrano le risultanze di una sperimentazione che ha l’obiettivo di migliorare le prestazioni della terra cruda con l’apporto delle nanotecnologie, sviluppando un ‘nuovo materiale’ con una ridotta embodied energy e una ridotta quantità di emissioni di CO2 in atmosfera.
24/7 Society—The New Timing of Work?
2018
Public debate on societal rhythms, in particular working hours, has been dominated by a (fear) scenario about a shift towards a 24/7 society. Factors such as the services- and information-driven economy, deregulation of opening hours, changes in the rhythms of consumer culture have been expected to disrupt “normal” working time. The term ‘24/7 society’ is part of the popular discussion and occasionally encountered in academic writing as well. 24/7-society is expected to create both new opportunities and new risks. In this chapter, we produce up-to-date literature review to examine how the post-industrial, services-dominated economy changes work and leisure time practices. This chapter also …
