Analisi critica vs. produzione creativa. Le nuove sfide della media education nell’era digitale
2010
Il consumo dei media è ingrediente di base della vita pubblica e privata dei minori rivestendo un ruolo fondamentale nella costruzione della loro identità e socialità. Una dimensione cruciale delle loro esperienze mediali è costituita dal piacere e dal gioco. In questo contributo si vuole sostenere che se l’educazione formale non riconosce questo ruolo e questa dimensione, il suo divario con i «mondi vitali» dei ragazzi fuori dalla scuola è destinato ad allargarsi sempre più. L’introduzione della media education1può ridurre questo divario, a condizione però che l’analisi critica venga combinata alla produzione creativa degli studenti in classe, e cioè aprendo uno spazio dove questi ultimi p…
La media education a scuola. Un approccio olistico per la costruzione della cittadinanza digitale
2020
Il compito dell’educazione (nei contesti formali e non formali) deve essere ridefinito in un’ottica mediaeducativa e di conseguenza analizzato in termini molto più ampi, complessi e sistemici, anche in Italia. Non si tratta tanto (o soltanto) di educare con i media, né di educare tanto (o soltanto) agli usi sicuri e responsabili della Rete per combattere di volta in volta fenomeni come il cyberbullismo, le fake news o i discorsi di odio. Si tratta piuttosto di educare ai media come sistemi complessi di significazione/rappresentazione, produ- zione industriale e controllo sociale. The task of education (in formal and non-formal contexts) must be redefined from a media-educational point of vi…
Il sex work maschile: dalla strada al web
2022
Historically deviant conducts like homosexuality and prostitution gave rise to a social actor which has to convert his resources into money. Social scripts of male sex worker are very different from the female ones, just considering the way of introducing the professionist or also considering the way of having the sexual intercourse. The aim of this paper is to show through an international literature review how male sex working has changed from a historical/sociological point of view. Keywords: homosexuality; sexwork; digitalsexwork; maleprostitution; onlyfans; pornography.

The papers focuses on the potential collapse of the traditional gatekeeping function of news professionals. In the new digital ecosystem, journalists are more and more involved in new relationships with other social actors, who can become also producers and performers.
Responsibility in uncertain times: an institutional perspective on precaution
2008
Precaution is a key issue in environmental governance. Variously defined, intensively debated and introduced in many regulations, its meaning, scope and application remain problematic. This article argues that the controversy on precaution is a matter of culturally patterned expectations concerning the production and use of knowledge and the related social positions and responsibilities. The way uncertainty and its role in the policy process are understood is crucial. For some precaution is a flawed concept, to be accommodated to the current expert-based cooperative scheme. For others it is a major innovation requiring a rearrangement of the latter. Precautionary policies may evolve in dif…
Punchline behind the hotspot : structures of humor, puzzle, and sexuality in adventure games (with Leisure Suit Larry in Several Wrong Places)
2021
Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, during the embryonic era of computers, hackers, and all that digitalized punk jazz, who would have guessed that one of the period’s juvenile narrative arts—“interactive fiction” it was called at the time—would soon lead to a pop cultural revolution? A young scholar named Mary Ann Buckles did. Having spent years analyzing a piece of software that the present history knows as the most influential of all computerized text-based playthings, Adventure, in 1985, Buckles eventually completed her doctoral dissertation with a first-ever focus on something that had thus far been struggling to be taken seriously by cultural critics: storygames running on compute…
Declines in Sexual Activity and Function Predict Incident Health Problems in Older Adults: Prospective Findings from the English Longitudinal Study o…
2020
The objective of this study was to investigate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between declines in sexual activity and function and health outcomes in a large population-based sample of older adults. Data were from 2577 men and 3195 women aged ≥ 50 years participating in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Past-year changes in sexual desire, frequency of sexual activity, and ability to have an erection (men)/become sexually aroused (women) were assessed at baseline by self-completion questionnaire. Health outcomes (self-rated health, limiting long-standing illness, doctor-diagnosed diseases of the vascular system, and cancer) were self-reported at baseline (2012/2013) an…
Digital contents as a tool to address research reproducibility crisis in psychology: A case study on sexual attraction under conditions of high arous…
2020
In the field of behavioral sciences, a crisis of the replicability of data took place. Among the reasons of the crisis, there is the difficulty of replicating some classical experimental settings and the lack of reproduced studies. Nowadays, digital contents might provide valuable opportunities to re-create specific environmental situations and manipulations in a safe and cost-saving way. The present study is a preliminary attempt to replicate the relationship between arousal manipulation and sexual attraction as it was assessed in the classical study by Dutton and Aron in 1974. Here, 30 male subjects will be randomly assigned to high or low arousal condition (induced with digital contents)…
Wooden Surface Investigation: an Optical Approach Based on Shadow Moiré
2007
The interest in the mechanical behaviour of wood is a very important task due to the increasing role played by wood structures in modern architecture as well as its applicability in restoration of ancient buildings. The behaviour of wooden surfaces experiencing variable humidity conditions is of great importance both with concern to performances of wooden building’s structures and to ensure correct restoration and conservation of art works like wooden sculptures and panel paintings [1]. In literature there are only a few studies dealing with the influence of moisture on the physical properties of wood [1,2]. The characterization of wooden behaviour related to changes in the humidity level c…
An exploration of reciprocity between female athletes and their coach in elite junior swimming: a shared reality theory perspective
2021
Based on the proposition that the relationship between a coach and athlete is at its best when both parties contribute to enhancing its quality, the present study sought to investigate if Shared Reality Theory could provide new insights on the topic. Specifically, the purpose of the present study was to explore: (a) how a shared reality is established, or fails to be established, over the course of the sporting partnership between athletes and their coach; and (b) how the presence of a shared reality (or not) in the coach-athlete relationship is related to the experienced quality of the relationship between athletes and their coach, as recorded over time. Narrative inquiry, embedded within …
