Tradición y modernidad en las políticas educativas en España: una revisión de las últimas décadas
2008
In the present paper, we will present an approximate outlook of a few of the more relevant issues that determine, at the same time that reflect, the Spanish educative policies deployed from 1980 up to now. This scan of the last 25 years will allow us to see (even in a superficial and inevitably partial fashion) the tension and dialectic between tradition (noted for the persistence of outdated forms of conceiving and delivering education) and modernity (bearer of innovative trends, although not exempt from ambivalence and contradictions in its own development). We will pay close attention to those axes that can work as a starting point for our reflection, namely: educative policies, organiza…
Il padiglione commerciale "Salamone & Pullara" di Gabriele Nicoletti a Palermo
2019
In Italia il Codice dei Beni Culturali (2004- 2011) determina un destino incerto per le opere del secondo Novecento. Le incongruenze delle attuali procedure legislative sollecitano profondamente il ruolo culturale delle ricerche che usano metodologie meta progettuali e pongono la questione del ruolo culturale degli Uffici che di fatto decidono del destino della città costruita. Il saggio presenta il caso dell’edificio commerciale “Salamone & Pullara” (1964 - 1968) opera di Gabriele Nicoletti lungo la circonvallazione di Palermo. Nonostante la possibilità concreta di trasformarlo con efficacia per un nuovo uso, dimostrata da ricerche progettuali eseguite nell’ambito universitario e ampia…
Higher education graduates' employment and the uncertainty of working life.
2012
The aim of this chapter is to examine how the uncertainty and instability of working life is reflected in Finnish polytechnic graduates’ employment. The present study investigates the fields of business and engineering by comparing two graduate cohorts. The societal context in which new graduates enter working life is that of an increasing precariousness in the labour market, which affects higher education graduates as well as the general population. Nowadays, a higher education qualification is not necessarily a guaranteed path to a high income and high social status as it used to be. Insecurity and uncertainty in society and working life can be considered as general features of late moder…
La constitución de la imagen actual del hombre
2013
The article analyses critically three dififerent models about human being: the homo faber, or tecnocratic humanism, dominant along Modernity from Descartes and Bacon to Marx; the homo natura and the homo ludens , which represent antihumanist models of the late Modernity. In front of these models we can find a fourth one: the homo patiens or excentric humanism, openned to God, others and nature. Only this model gives a consistent foundation to the universality of the rights because it identifies the concepts of human being and person.

“Time Is the Flimsiest Surface.” Affective Distance and the Weight of History in Yiyun Li’s Kinder Than Solitude
 This article examines the linkages between personal and political history and their relationship to the experience of time and a ective distance in Yiyun Li’s (b. 1972) novel Kinder an Solitude (2014). The method of analysis is a combination of close reading with a specific focus on affective distance, and a historically contextualizing approach. In this article, the notion of affective distance refers to an individual level psychic and emotional experience of estrangement, loneliness, and temporal and spatial discontinuity. The manifestation of a ective distance in Li’s no…
Matrix e la dialettica servo-padrone nella tarda modernità
2019
Si prendono in esame i punti di contatto tra la trilogia di Matrix, gli Animatrix e la logica della Dialettica dell'Illuminismo di Horkheimer e Adorno.Si illustra il modo in cui, nella logica tardomoderna, si produca l'assorbimento sistematico delle controculture all'interno della dominante industria culturale. Si riprende il problema dei riflessi sulla sfera cognitiva, e si illustra, con il supporto di una ricerca affrontata con una simulazione ad agenti, come l'overload informativo e la ipersecializzazione dei saperi producano ansia, panico, rifiuto delle conoscenze capaci di mettere in crisi i saperi dominanti. In this article are examined the points of contact between the Matrix trilogy…
Bar-sur-Aube (Aube). 13 rue Beugnot et 2, 4, 10 rue du Prieuré [notice archéologique]
2019
Un projet immobilier de réhabilitation de l’îlot du prieuré Saint-Pierre (dépendance de l’abbaye Saint-Claude dans le Jura), accolé à l’église éponyme, au NO de la ville ancienne de Bar-sur-Aube, a entraîné la prescription d’un diagnostic archéologique sur les deux « cours » concernées par le projet et sur une analyse du potentiel archéologique conservé en élévation. Ce diagnostic a montré d’importants aménagements médiévaux encore conservés au sein du prieuré Saint-Pierre dont la création est antérieure au milieu du XIIe s., tant dans les élévations que dans les données stratigraphiques. Bien que les remaniements modernes et contemporains soient conséquents, et caractéristiques d’une opéra…
Tourism as a Form of New Psychological Resilience: The Inception of Dark Tourism
2012
Tourism industry is considered as an activity based on higher tolerance to frustration, in other terms as a resilient industry. At some extent, the diverse threats that impinge on tourism in late modernity not only did not alter its logic, but strengthened its presence worldwide. Concepts as dark tourism or thanatourism started to be adopted and applied in tourism-related research. Nonetheless, these studies are not interested in revealing neither the anthropological roots of the issue nor the representation of founding trauma (as sacralisation of the dead). Natural and made-man disasters give lessons to communities that are rechanneled by means of mythical mechanism of resiliency. Tourism,…

John Lehmann’s New Writing: The Duty to Be Tormented
2011
John Lehmann’s magazine New Writing, launched in 1936, may be said to give literary historians a slow-motion image of the evolution of artistic consciousness in one of the most turbulent periods of the twentieth century. Throughout the fourteen years of its existence, encompassing the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War, the magazine covers a neglected period of transition in the evolution of modernism. Through his editorial policy and a susceptible interpretation of the Zeitgeist, Lehmann voices the particular torments of his generation, too young to have participated in the First World War, but deeply affected by it. The magazine constitutes an attempt to change the role and social…
