Democrazia e corporazione in Léon Harmel
2019
Il nome di Léon Harmel (1829-1915) si può certamente associare alla vicenda storica del cattolicesimo sociale francese dell’Ottocento. Imprenditore e riformatore sociale, Harmel ebbe un ruolo determinante nell’apertura della Chiesa alle problematiche della società moderna. Egli non fu un teorico in senso stretto, né un pensatore politico, bensì un “realizzatore”. Eppure la sua figura e la sua opera merita, a nostro avviso, una specifica attenzione. Sia perché rappresentativo, sul piano della sua stessa biografia personale, di un’epoca di grande transizione intellettuale e sociale, sia perché fu il primo a realizzare nella sua fabbrica laniera in Val des Bois la corporazione cristiana.

Empire and Democracy. A critical reading of Michael Ignatieff
2013
Empires expand their hegemony combined two contrasting forces; one is violence the second is characterized by persuasion. Ideology works in these contexts, as an efficient instrument of self-indoctrination whereby dominated cultures accept the cultural matrix of empire. In this vein, the present essay-review not only questions the employment of human rights in the liberal thought, but also tries to respond to the conceptual problems of liberalism to understand terrorism. Based on two seminal texts written by the liberal Michael Ignatieff, we formulate the thesis that liberalism supports the war against terror because of its doctrine of self-determination.
Zoom in on Dry Joy—Dissensus, Agonism and Democracy in Art Education
2021
Literature on art education often emphasizes dialogue as a preferred approach and as a way of practicing democratic education in museums and galleries. Dialogue-based tours in such contexts are often characterized by a sense of harmony and agreement. In contrast, this article discusses the democratic aspect and political potentiality when dissensus and agonism are used as central educational strategies. The point of departure for the discussion was a teaching session on the online platform Zoom with student teachers as part of their module on art and crafts at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway, in spring 2020. Artworks from the exhibition Dry Joy, in Sø
A "grande política"
2015
Resumo Este artigo oferece uma discussão sobre o legado crítico em torno da noção de grande política na obra de Nietzsche, questão que foi dominada por três posições: 1) Nietzsche é reduzido a um ironista subjetivista, não se atribuindo a ele nenhuma (ou pouca) relevância na teoria política; 2) ou bem é estigmatizado como precursor intelectual dos totalitarismos políticos; 3) ou bem pode apresentar-se como um genuíno pensador político, para além dos totalitarismos e capaz de fecundar algumas concepções democráticas da vida política. Nesse último aspecto, apesar das críticas de Nietzsche à modernidade e à democracia, é possível vê que sua obra defende a noção de uma democracia radical, dado …
Henri-Robert Feugueray: la "République dans l'atelier"
2015
Between 1838 and 1851 the most Catholic of Philippe Buchez's disciples, Henri-Robert Feugueray (1813-1854), tried to redefine the republican and working class tradition spreading the idea of the «République dans l'atelier» in his articles, published on Correspondant, Revue Nationale, L'Ere Nouvelle, Revue des Réformes et du Progrès. According to Feugueray it was important to go beyond social conflict and recompose society's division rethinking politics and society through the application of the democratic model. He illustrated the sociopolitical value of the associationism as a process of civic education that gives workers political dignity even when electoral laws deny it. With his writing…
Higher Education in Management: The Case of Spain
2017
The history of the management education system in Spain can be described by breaking it down into four periods: (1) the emergence of the management education system, (2) the creation of formal university studies and foundation of management/economics faculties (under pre-democratic laws), (3) the structuration and universalization of the management education system (under democratic laws) and (4) the current management education system (after the implementation of the European higher education reform, or Bologna declaration). (1) Emergence of the management education system (up to 1943): The university education system in Spain is one of the oldest in Europe. The University of Salamanca was…
Planning for Sustainability: Between Risks and Lifeworlds
2015
In this chapter, Planning for sustainability: Between risks and lifeworlds, Mikaela Vasstrom and Hans Kjetil Lysgard present ideas of a planning study that takes a critical perspective on planning. What are the alternative planning ideas? Planning is a field where different paradigms meet. How can one approach that? Their suggestion is a combination of participatory and critical planning. There is a strong account of planning and sustainability with better links between planning and Higher Education. Empowerment may provide a connection. For both planning and education, we need an understanding of context. The discussion of universities is thought-provoking.
Intercultural competences of students-strategic approaches
2021
Intercultural education is a category of the „new education” and a desideratum of the European dimension of education.

Historia y memoria de la educación : HMe
2019
Finalizada la Segunda Guerra Mundial en 1945, fueron muchos los que creyeron que el fin del conflicto supondría la caída del franquismo, el regreso del gobierno republicano y la vuelta de la democracia a España. Desde el exilio, el retorno estuvo muy presente en publicaciones, reuniones, manifiestos y acciones políticas, especialmente en México y en Francia. Entre los temas tratados en los círculos de los desterrados con mayor implicación política e intelectual sobresalió la educación, dada la importancia que se le daba a la formación de las nuevas generaciones de españoles que deberían de retomar los principios y valores republicanos. El artículo examina tres documentos con propuestas de l…
