Le parti e il tutto. La memoria dei Ciompi e la semantica del popolo
2020
Tra XIV e XV secolo nell’Italia comunale la natura del popolo rimaneva un problema aperto. A differenza di altre aree, a rendere più difficile nella Penisola lo sforzo di definizione era il fatto che dalla metà Duecento il «popolo» si era manifestato spesso anche come organizzazione di parte e persino come regime. Questo aveva esasperato la tradizionale ambivalenza semantica del termine («popolo» come parte della comunità e «popolo» come universale politico). In questo contributo vengono analizzati alcuni momenti della memoria della rivolta dei Ciompi (in particolare la cronaca di Giovanni Cavalcanti) per mostrare da un lato come si mantenne l’ambivalenza del termine, e dall’altro come prog…
Demand Responsive Transport Services for Improving the Public Transport in Suburban Areas
2022
Suburbs suffer from isolation from densely populated urban centers due to the poor performance of traditional public transport services such as buses. This isolation worsens the quality of life of the residents of these areas, with related problems of social exclusion. One of the possible solutions to meet the mobility needs of these people is a flexible service such as Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) systems. This article assessed the effectiveness of a DRT service as a feeder transit service, assuming a connection of three suburban districts of Palermo, Italy, with a Railway Line station. Thanks to a Revealed Preferences (RP) and Stated Preferences (SP) survey campaign, both the current…

The Unseen, the Discouraged, and the Outcast : Expressivity and the Foundations of Social Recognition
2018
AbstractThis article analyzes different pathologies of social affirmation and examines the grounds of social recognition from the point of view of the concept of expression. The red thread of the text is provided by Tove Jansson’s fictional works, and the focus will be on three cases in particular (the magic hat, the invisible girl and the figure of the Groke). The article sets out from the phenomenological distinction between the sensible expression, on the one hand, and the expressed content, on the other. By focusing on the three cases, the article distinguishes and analyses the fundamental structures of communal life and explicates different ways in which social affirmation can be one-s…
The System Hotspot: politics of refusal against the economic migrants and absence of good practicesfor contrasting the gender and sexual violence suf…
2017
Il saggio evidenzia come il discorso istituzionale, il discorso pubblico dei media e, infine, le interviste di testimoni significativi descrivono tre aspetti del fenomeno dei rifugiati / richiedenti asilo che non possono essere ricondotti in un'analisi coerente di "fare Europa" e un'interpretazione unica. L '"occidentalizzazione del pensiero critico" (Latouche, 1995) è quindi probabile che diventi un vero "nazionalismo occidentale", se i discorsi dal basso degli operatori culturali e dei mediatori linguistici non intervengono in maniera massiccia. I punti di crisi (Hotspot) confermano il tentativo di esclusione di alcuni rifugiati e richiedenti asilo. Un'esclusione dal sistema di protezione…
Dones i Ciència. Genealogia d’una exclusió
2012
És tan abundant i exhaustiva la bibliografia feminista internacional i són tan plurals els estudis des de la perspectiva de gènere que ha produït la historiografia durant les darreres dècades que la opinió pública és conscient de les raons socials, culturals i ideològiques que han contribuït a construir els models de gènere i un determinat arquetip de la dona i de la naturalesa femenina en la nostra tradició occidental. El present article no vol ser una síntesi documentada ni erudita dels factors que han propiciat històricament l’exclusió de les dones de la esfera pública i especialment de les pràctiques científiques. Simplement vol aportar una reflexió personal des de la història cultural …
Com afecta la crisi al sistema de Serveis Socials
2012
The economic crisis is affecting people and societies in a different way depending on their initial situation. As far as Social Services are concerned in the Valencian Community, an analysis needs to be made of this system as it was when the crisis first emerged. Its structure is deficient and involves overlaps, in which schemes have been replaced with individual assistance, payment of subsidies takes too long and in which subjective rights, stemming from the Personal Autonomy and Care for Dependency Law and the Law on Citizens' Guaranteed Income, are poorly applied. The values crisis precedes the economic and financial crisis, which is why any possibilities of facing up to these have to se…
Inny/obcy: doświadczenie języka i rzeczywistości (literacko-kulturowa ponowoczesność)
2017
The subject matter is developed around the Other, their presence and their personalising in the literary-cultural space. The reality becomes the source of observation (fiction and non-fiction) and reveals not only a variety of human experience in the world of multiculturalism, but also forms of “branding” the Other (rhetoric of the dominant communities towards cultural minorities) which correspond to them. The analysis of the rhetoric of speech and image permits to reveal the good and the bad side of language-cultural stereotypes, including also attitudes and behaviours affected by ideology.
Monitoring WWTP performance using size-exclusion chromatography with simultaneous UV and fluorescence detection to track recalcitrant wastewater frac…
2018
A trial monitoring of a typical full-scale municipal WWTP in Central Finland was aimed to explore applicability of high performance liquid chromatography – size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) with simultaneous UV and fluorescence detection as a tool for advanced routine monitoring of wastewater treatment. High, intermediate, and low molecular weight (MW) fractions of untreated wastewater (influent) and treated wastewater (secondary effluent) were characterized in terms of UV absorbance at 254 nm (UVA254) and specific fluorescence representing tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like, and humic/fulvic-like compounds. The activated sludge treatment removed 97 ± 1% of BOD, 93 ± 2% of COD, 71 ± 7% of D…
Judo as a tool for social integration in adolescents at risk of social exclusion: A pilot study
2020
Purpose: Social policies of the advanced countries have begun to incorporate sport to speak on manifestations of social exclusion, as tool to reach out to young people, strengthen their identity or enhance self-esteem vulnerable groups. Judo can be a good tool for the fulfilment of this purpose because has a philosophy and educational practice that contains much of the core competencies of the educational system. The aim of this study is to analyse the incidence of judo practice in changing attitudes, values, norms and capabilities across organizational forms as a means of enhancing socialization in their interventions with young people at risk of social exclusion. Material/Methods: We used…
