Mantrana. Un gioco
2020
Mantrana è una collezione di aforismi che costituisce una “magica enciclopedia” del sapere. Ciascun Mantra – in sé autonomo – è ordinato tematicamente insieme ad altri a formare diverse raccolte. Mantrana, però, è anche una sorta di domino in cui ogni giocatore può disporre i Mantra a proprio piacimento. Può dare agli uni la precedenza nei tempi rispetto agli altri, trovare nuove relazioni tra i Mantra e allinearli diversamente. È come cercare conchiglie sulla spiaggia, disporle secondo motivi e scompigliarle di nuovo: il gioco vive proprio di questo.

2015
Globally, debates on the notion of a third set of activities aimed at linking higher education institutions more closely with surrounding society are not new. In the last decade or so, calls for a re-engagement of the university in helping to tackle the great challenges facing societies and local communities have propelled the third mission to the forefront of policy discussions – this time under the mantra of ‘relevance’ and ‘social impact’. Yet, as some of the articles in this special issue attest, there is a fundamental tension in the notion of a third mission. The chief aim of this special issue is to provide a critical assessment of the extent to which the third mission has become an i…

This paper explores the perceptions and usability of the MANTRA app amongst rural women and Female Community Health Volunteers …

Par savienojošo elementu tiek izvirzīts šajās tradīcijās klātesošais antropoloģiskais skatījums. Kopīgais motī…
