Gender and Toxic Meritocracy in Competitive Overwatch: Case “Ellie”
2022
AbstractThis chapter examines toxic meritocracy in relation to gender in competitive Overwatch, asking how gender affects a player’s opportunities for engagement in that scene. It analyzes online news stories and community discussions concerning “Ellie” – a fabricated competitive woman gamer created as a “social experiment” by a man player. The confluences between gender and toxic meritocracy become visible in the assumption there must be an experienced man gamer behind the battletag, the gender-based harassment targeted at Ellie, and the reflections on the importance of setting an example as the first team taking a woman player for Contenders. The analysis shows that despite a strong belie…

2020
The aim of this essay is to assess the capacity of innovative credit scoring techniques to improve financial inclusion of the unbanked.

Atipicità del contratto e tipicità dei diritti reali: il nodo della meritevolezza dell’interesse
2022
: Il requisito della meritevolezza degli interessi è stato di recente riproposto dal legislatore quale filtro per l’ammissibilità dei vincoli di destinazione di cui al nuovo art. 2645-ter c.c.: in questa sede la meritevolezza non può che coincidere con il perseguimento di interessi superindividuali, dal momento che legittima vere e proprie operazioni di conformazione negoziale della proprietà privata.

In questa sede è stato tradizionalmente interpretato come mera “non illiceità”. Il presente contributo si propone di rip…
Piotr Ogrodzki (1958-2013)
2013
News about the death of Piotr Ogrodzki came so suddenly that it left us numb. A good and unique person passed away – a lawyer, an expert on historical monuments, a theoretician on securing works of art, a sensitive soul. His loss is irreparable. Having known Piotr for years as a modest person shying from acclaim I am aware that he would not have wanted to become the topic of written reminiscences. On the other hand, it is our duty to express gratitude to men of merit and pay homage in return for all that they did for us. In this way, we demonstrate our respect, admiration and appreciation. Piotr Ogrodzki never sought popularity. He performed tasks, which he regarded as his duty as best and …
Meritokratia meriitteihin perustuvana ulossulkemisena
2020
Meritokratia on järjestelmä, jossa jotkut ihmiset suljetaan ulos, koska he eivät ole tarpeeksi hyviä. Termi kehitettiin kuvaukseksi dystopiasta, synkäksi kuvaukseksi tulevaisuudesta. Siitä tuli kuitenkin nopeasti ihanneyhteiskunnan malli. nonPeerReviewed
