Skull mania. Le dinamiche di un motivo iconografico tra arte, moda e design
2013
Il motivo iconografico del teschio è uno dei più antichi e ricorrenti nella tradizione artistica. Nella contemporaneità questa immagine, oltrepassando i confini dell’arte, prolifera nella sfera della moda e del design. Questa migrazione ha il punto di svolta in For the Love of God (2007), il teschio intarsiato di diamanti, opera di Damien Hirst, a cui si è ispirato lo stilista Alexander McQueen per le sue creazioni di moda e accessori. Diffondendosi nella cultura di massa l’immagine del teschio acquista una vita autonoma, obliando la sua derivazione artistica, e caricandosi di nuove plurime valenze simboliche che rendono evidenti le contaminazioni tra arte, moda e design proprie della cultu…
Ranking-based Ties Social Networks : an illustration based on a system of Fashion Capital Cities in the world.
2012
Our paper aims to apply a non-conventional Social Network Analysis to a network generated from an initial sorting of data with mere order. The aim is to test whether and how one relationship set 'conveniently' generated by the ranking is able to provide a coherent system of interactions with possible practical and theoretical utility. We consider a system of city distributions where we focus on ¿Ranking-Based Ties¿ social networks, considering a system of 'objects' of the same class that would be able to interact. The objects in question are ordered according to their 'performance' in a particular ranking. According to a survey developed by Global Langu…
Siamo l'esercito del Selfie e non abbiamo più contatti
2017
Le tecnologie mobili influenzano profondamente il modo di pensare e di organizzare il sapere: tendenze, potenzialità e criticità. Le persone sviluppano un’adeguata concezione dei processi cognitivi implicati dagli strumenti multimediali e sono in grado di controllare tali processi in maniera funzionale. L'utilizzo di social media online, come Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, ecc., Sta diventando un fenomeno psicologico e sociale. Oltre il 55 per cento dei "Millennials" hanno preso un selfie e lo hanno condiviso sui social media e oltre 93 milioni di selfies vengono utilizzati ogni giorno con il rischio di condurre all'ossessione. Il Selfie è un'attività non così nuova ma popolare nella cultura …
A new perspective of innovation toward a non-contact society - Amazon's initiative in pioneering growing seamless switching
2022
This paper elucidates the inside of the black box of Amazon's unique research and development (R&D) dynamism that made it the world's top R&D leader by transforming “routine or periodic alterations” into “significant improvement” during the R&D process. This dynamism also succeeded in transforming the COVID-19 pandemic period into a springboard for new innovation, leading to Amazon's notable growth notwithstanding the pandemic. An empirical analysis using a techno-economic approach focusing on Amazon's endeavor to develop a series of advanced digital fashions (ADFs) and online-based luxury brands (neo-luxury) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic was conducted. Amazon became a global appa…

Balenciaga, the Master of Haute Couture
2020
This chapter deals with Balenciaga, a brand that carries the name of the designer known as “The Master of Haute Couture”, one of the most revered and influential fashion designers of the twentieth century. Characterized by sculptural quality, deft manipulation of textiles, and dramatic use of color and texture, Balenciaga creations are inspired by works of art and become works of art themselves through overlapping forms and genres. In this way, artification turns an elitist–but still commercial product—into a hybrid that acquires aesthetic and symbolic value and restores that aura lost due to production logics. Following this perspective, the main contribution of the chapter is to highlight…

‘Strange old Italian dresses’: Walter Pater, Victorian fashionista?
2019
This article discusses Aesthetic dress as conceived by Walter Pater. Indeed in “Leonardo Da Vinci” (1869), the unfinished Gaston de Latour (1888-1894?), “The School of Giorgione” (1877) and “A Prince of Court Painters” (1885), Pater mentions and describes dress with special emphasis on details. Such descriptions belong to a series of writings on Aesthetic dress, admittedly a core component of British Aestheticism. Pater’s descriptions should therefore be contrasted to the 1870s portraits of Whistler, and to the 1880s-1890s writings of Whistler, Oscar Wilde and Max Beerbohm, along with the caricatures of Aesthetes by George du Maurier and Sir Leslie Ward. Pater responds by progressively deli…
Manipulacyjne wykorzystanie słowa park w nazwach osiedli mieszkaniowych
2020
Artykuł opisuje częste obecnie zjawisko wykorzystywania w celach komercyjnych słowa park w nazwach obiektów miejskich, głównie osiedli mieszkaniowych. Nazwy te łudzą obietnicą życia w korzystnych warunkach, przesłaniając fakt, że ich budowanie nieodłącznie wiąże się z uszczuplaniem terenów zielonych w mieście. Firmy deweloperskie przenoszą na tworzone przez siebie nazwy wysoce pozytywne asocjacje, jakie wywołuje tradycyjnie rozumiany park, pierwsza część artykułu przedstawia więc treści semantyczne, które składają się na to pojęcie. Część druga pokazuje, w jaki sposób deweloperzy uzasadniają swe nazwy, kreując ich związek z realnymi cechami lokalizacji lub architektury osiedli, a także łącz…
