La conoscenza del quadro patrimoniale come orizzonte metodologico per riabitare i territori interni
2020
Il paper propone un contributo al macro-tema dello sviluppo locale, partendo dai concetti chiave indispensabili per trattare tale argomento e, concentrandosi successivamente, sulla visione patrimoniale del territorio e sul potenziale detenuto dalle aree interne dove i nuclei storici, ma non solo questi, sono luoghi che stanno soffrendo una crisi delle identità e assistono impotenti a processi di spopolamento e di impoverimento economico e sociale. Il patrimonio assume quindi un ruolo determinante per uno sviluppo locale auto-sostenibile, capace di mettere a valore le componenti sottoutilizzate per nuovi abitanti e nuovi stili di vita, non tralasciando un fattore di grande rilevanza e cioè l…

Ripensare i territori interni a partire dai nuclei storici minori. Uno sguardo all’Area Interna dei Nebrodi
2019
Within the framework of local development in Inner Areas in Italy, the paper focuses on the potential of historical centers as territorial capital of exceptional value that, among other resources of these territories, are largely unused, suffering an identity crisis and powerless assist processes of depopulation and economic and social decline. In these contexts, heritage can take a decisive role in self-sustainable local development, able to enhance underutilized components for new inhabitants and new lifestyles, without neglecting a factor of great importance, that is the quality of life that these places offer, far above the average of urban areas. The contribution proposes an initial sc…
Places of Belonging, Places of Detachment:
2022
This chapter contributes to the ongoing discussion about rural belonging by considering the role of historical consciousness (Rüsen, 2004) in the process of belonging in a place. The chapter suggests that young people’s temporal orientation in relation to local culture and history plays a significant role in their commitment to rural communities. The analysis draws on qualitative longitudinal data from Finnish girls, aged 16–19, from two sparsely populated regions (Central Finland and the Northern Finnish Sámi homeland). The chapter shows how multiple strands of commitment tie rural young people to their local surroundings, where the past is present in the landscape and everyday life in a m…
Using historical school book excerpts for the education of mature mathematics teachers
2015
International audience; The use of historical and cultural perspectives in university mathematics education can support the development of self-esteem and maturity. It can bring together students with similar interests. We present the concept of a seminar on the analysis of mathematical textbooks and of learning contexts based on the consideration of historical excerpts. Such a seminar can become a starting point for a community of practice with the potential to develop social recognition and personal appreciation of the individual interests and talents of its members and their joint activities.
Pulling Harriot Out of Newton’s Shadow: How the Norwegian Outsider Johannes Lohne Came to Contribute to Mainstream History of Mathematics
2016
The focus of this paper is on the peculiarities of Lohne ’s “outsider approach” to the historiography of mathematics and physics. The main thesis is that the circumstances of Lohne ’s outsider position both narrowed down and sharpened the focus of his research, but that he succeeded because he joined the then rising tide of archival based and content oriented internalist research in the history of physics and mathematics and because he was supported by scholars such as D.T. Whiteside and J.E. Hofmann , whose connections to the international community were better than his own. The main conclusions are based on Lohne ’s Nachlass in Oslo and on some other archival sources. In addition Lohne ’s…
Looking for an Order of Things: Textbooks and Chemical Classifications in Nineteenth Century France
2002
The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the issue of the creativity of textbook writing by exploring the links between nineteenth-century French textbooks and the quest for a classification of elements. The first section presents the elegant combination of didactic and chemical constraints invented by eighteenth-century chemists: the order of learning - from the known to the unknown - and the order of things - from the simple to the complex - were one and the same. In section two we argue that the alleged coincidence did not help the authors of elementary textbooks required for the new schools set up by the French revolution. Hence the variety of classifications adopted in the early nine…
Los modelos de género discursivo en la planificación y revisión de una reseña de lectura
2018
En este trabajo se analiza la incidencia de los modelos de género discursivo en la planificación y revisión de la escritura desde una intervención educativa cuyo diseño sigue el modelo de secuencias didácticas para aprender a escribir. La secuencia diseñada tenía como objetivo que alumnos de 3º ESO elaboraran una reseña de lectura y para ello ofrecía diferentes modelos de este género. El análisis de los datos del proceso (textos intermedios e interacciones) y del producto (textos elaborados por los alumnos) permite vincular el uso de modelos de género, las operaciones de planificación y revisión y la apropiación de los estereotipos (representaciones mentales arraigadas en una dimensión soci…
Data from: Long live the alien: is high genetic diversity a pivotal aspect of crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata) long-lasting and successful invasi…
2016
Studying the evolutionary dynamics of an alien species surviving and continuing to expand after several generations can provide fundamental information on the relevant features of clearly successful invasions. Here, we tackle this task by investigating the dynamics of the genetic diversity in invasive crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata) populations, introduced to Italy about 1500 years ago, which are still growing in size, distribution range and ecological niche. Using genome-wide RAD markers, we describe the structure of the genetic diversity and the demographic dynamics of the H. cristata invasive populations and compare their genetic diversity with that of native African populations of …
