New Literacy for Reading Using ICT
2014
This article will analyse the key strategies in the relationship between reading and writing in the area of ICT and the resulting importance in supporting literacy in this area so that the education system as a whole (primary and secondary schools and universities) can be guided to make full use of the opportunities ICT can provide. ICTs are able to help improve overall comprehension, evaluate general perspectives and raise awareness of the value of cooperation and, as a result, the essential quality of individuals and their contributions. These contributions are far-reaching and strategic. The benefits of applying ICT in reading and writing are also felt in oral expression and can result i…
Applying the Identity Status Paradigm to Managers’ Moral Identity
2019
We investigated the applicability of the identity status paradigm in identifying different stages of moral identity maturity among managers, focusing on how they solve moral conflicts in the context of work. Researchers conducted two theory-driven studies. Study 1 was based on focus group discussions among 16 managers, while Study 2 was based on open-ended questionnaire items from 180 managers. Both studies supported the hypothesized identity statuses. The status named diffusion included a lack of commitment to moral values and associated with avoiding moral questions at work. In foreclosure, extrinsic (e.g., organizational) values were adopted and applied to personal decision-making. Manag…
The communicative power of an extreme territory – the Italian island of Pantelleria and its passito wine
2018
Purpose This paper aims to examine how Pantelleria’s wineries communicate the extreme territory of Pantelleria through its passito wine and whether this may be a value added for consumers.

Design/methodology/approach All websites of wineries producing passito wine in Pantelleria were analyzed using the adaptation, goal-attainment, integration and latent pattern maintenance (AGIL) scheme for measuring communication dimensions. Findings Results suggest that wineries and stakeholders should apply territory-…

An existential perspective on meaning, spirituality and authenticity in athletic careers
2014
This research examines athletes’ career paths and reflections of meaning in their sporting practices through an existential psychological lens. Through notions of spirituality and authenticity, we examined how competitive sport practices and bodily movement gain meaning, and often fundamentally shift meaning, in athletes’ lives. Reflective writings with a follow-up from 10 athletes were interpreted through an existential-narrative analysis. The results suggest that while the early years of sport practice are most often characterised as highly enjoyable experiences, for some, the later career development involves existential challenges such as value conflicts, losing a sense of authenticity,…
Tommaso Stanislao Velasti e il filellenismo di fine Settecento
2022
The work of the Greek Jesuit originally from Scio, Tommaso Stanislao Velasti, constitutes a compendium of the philhellenic ideology which, starting from the second half of the eighteenth century, influenced the irredentist processes which in 1821 led Greece to proclaim its independence from the Sublime Porte. In his research path, Velasti was lucky enough to come across the works of Albanian intellectuals from Sicily, at whose Palermo seminar he was able to dwell in the crucial years of his ideological turning point. The study of some fundamental documents that emerged from the archive of the Seminary founded by Fr. Giorgio Guzzetta highlighted the filiation of fundamental ideas of identity…
Oblio, identità e verità (parte seconda)
2022
Può esistere un diritto a dimenticare a fronte di indiscutibile diritto a ricordare, senza che si consegni alle Corti il potere di riscrivere la storia eliminando frammenti della sua memoria? È attorno tale interrogativo che si snodano le riflessioni dell’autore, dirette ad accertare l’esistenza e la natura di un diritto all’oblio, inteso come diritto ad essere dimenticati. La rivoluzione digitale ha consentito la creazione di un archivio infinito e permanente, ma legittimo appare il dubbio circa l’opportunità di un suo indiscriminato sviluppo e di una illimitata tutela del diritto alla memoria, a fronte di istanze di tutela individuale di dignità umana. La risposta, secondo l’autore, è nel…
