Cities' identity and urban redevelopment: a study for the enhancement of self-built houses
2021
The study objective is the knowledge of the ways in which ‘the universe of the house is structured’ , in particular in a selected neighbourhood located on the northern edge of Favara - a town in the Sicilian hinterland, few kilometres far from Agrigento - characterized by self-building. The hope is that the investigated built-up heritage, together with public open spaces, can be recovered and enhanced by the community and local governance through strategic urban redevelopment actions not to lose a significant part of the city’s identity and history.

2016
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en italiano e inglés Monográfico con el título: Educación para la ciudadanía : significado y experiencias La globalización económica, política y comunicativa es uno de los principales problemas de la realidad histórica actual que socava las identidades sociales basadas en la pertenencia a comunidades locales y bien definidas.

Memes y Políticas de Identidad. El poder de la risa en la cultura digital
2020
Una de las formas más arcaicas y evidentes de la comunicación es reír. En la cultura digital, las imágenes humorísticas, en concreto las satíricas, se unen a la sociedad de masas mediante la configuración de ideas e identidades. Durante el s. XIX, la identidad y el nacionalismo han sido dos caras de la misma moneda. Su representación por medio de símbolos e ideas siguen estando patentes en la actualidad. En el ámbito nacional, la identidad catalana no solo sigue teniendo una vinculación nacionalista propia del XIX, sino que ha devenido en un fenómeno de identidad propio unido asimismo al procés de independencia. Por eso mismo y con el objetivo de poner en relieve el poder de las imágenes hu…
No one ever steps in the same discussion twice: The relationship between identities and meaning
2016
The concept of identification is a relational construct; that is, identities are not static but rather negotiated based on available material and symbolic resources. However, we know relatively little about how identities play a dual role when students collaborate. The aim of this paper is to explore this process through multiple case studies: we aim to explore how identities are enacted and used in making personal sense and understand the content knowledge, while at the same time we are interested in how this process can take a form of renewing process in the sense that the identities enacted are themselves changed, transformed or re-negotiated. Our results show that due to its dual role, …

Narratives Around Iberian Culture at Valencia Museums and Archaeological Sites: From Official Discourses to Social Perceptions
2016
Los museos y los yacimientos arqueológicos constituyen los espacios más autorizados para hablar sobre el pasado y el patrimonio desde un punto de vista científico. Como tales, sus discursos son asumidos por los visitantes como veraces y rara vez son puestos en duda o contestados. Sin embargo, desde la arqueología debemos plantear una mirada crítica sobre las narrativas que se generan en estos espacios patrimoniales y el impacto que tienen sobre los visitantes, pues con frecuencia traducen y sancionan realidades políticas, sociales e identitarias que tienen más que ver con el presente que con el pasado. En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar los discursos oficiales sobre la cultura ibérica …
Haciendo desigualdad de la diferencia: meritocracia y derecho a la identidad cultural. A propósito de la posición del pueblo gitano
2009
The persistent information on high levels of unemployment and premature abandon of school of roma students (with all the precautions with regard to undue generalizations, cases of full integration etc.) allow that the question of the right to a cultural identity turns out to be current, as well as its repercussion in areas as those of education and employment. This work analyzes the implication of the cultural difference, in the concrete case of the roma, taking into account the kind of economica inequality legitimized according to the meritocratic system wich informs the mentioned areas. It is dealing with a dissatisfaction judgement in human rights terms for the situation of a group wich …
Effects of Perceived Identity Based on Corporate Social Responsibility: The Role of Consumer Identification with the Company
2009
The paper focuses on the mediating role of consumer identification with a company in the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR)-based perceived identity on consumer behaviour. More specifically, it deals with the direct and indirect influences of identification with a socially responsible company on purchase intent, through two affective variables – attitude and affective commitment to the company. After the literature review that supports the hypotheses, an empirical study was carried out to test the proposed model. Findings show that CSR-based consumer-company identification influences purchase intent through the mediator role of company attitude and company commitment. This invo…
Choosing Who You Are: The Structure and Behavioral Effects of Revealed Identification Preferences
2017
Differences in individuals’ social identity have recently been shown to explain differences in behavior. But where do differences in social identity come from? Theory claims that identification allows people to affect their social identity by choosing who they are. Accordingly, this paper treats social identity as a choice and analyzes its behavioral effects. We find identification to be systematically related to behavioral heterogeneity in group-specific social preferences. In a first step, we measure identification preferences using a revealed preference approach in a laboratory experiment. Confirming social identity theory, participants reveal a stronger identification preference for gro…
Planar Quasiconformal Mappings; Deformations and Interactions
1998
The theory of quasiconformal mappings divides traditionally into two branches, the mappings in the plane and the case of higher dimensions. Basically, this is not due to the history of the topic but rather since planar quasiconformal mappings admit flexible methods (so far) not available in space. In this expository paper we wish to describe some recent trends and activities in quasiconformal theory peculiar to the plane. It is obvious, though, that not all topics can be covered no matter which point of view is taken; many important advances and connections must necessarily be bypassed. Therefore we concentrate on a specific theme, a property that singles out the difference between mappings…
