“Seconde generazioni”, identità e partecipazione politica
2020
Il volume si colloca nell’attuale dibattito sociologico sulle “seconde generazioni”. Questo concetto presenta problemi definitori che rievocano questioni più profonde legate alla doppia appartenenza culturale di questi giovani. Il volume si articola in due parti. Nella prima sono approfonditi aspetti teorici ed empirici relativi ai giovani di “seconda generazione” e ai loro percorsi di costruzione identitaria e di partecipazione politica, fortemente segnati dalla mancanza di riconoscimento come cittadini, dalle discriminazioni subite e dai sentimenti di esclusione provati. Nella seconda parte viene effettuata un’analisi quali- quantitativa (con il supporto del software T-Lab) di un corpus e…

Employee-driven digitalization in healthcare: codesigning services that deliver
2020
Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore and conceptualize how Nordic principles of employee participation combined with enterprise social media/web 2.0 could enable co-creation as an input to digital transformation of healthcare services.

We then discuss how these principles of participation can be further enhanced by state-of-the-art web 2.0 technologies for Enterpris…
Co-designing a social media service for civic participation
2010
User participation in social media design processes has similarities with civic participation for example in urban planning. Internet enables new virtual environments that can be planned collaboratively and be used for civic participation. In the Monimos case study we developed a social media website for immigrants and multicultural associations in a participatory design process together with the users. In this paper we present the critical issues in co-designing a social media service that aims at civic participation. We also give suggestions for how to cope with the challenges in a multicultural participation process. We claim that constant meta-level discussion about the goals and partic…

From smart to lean : how to design for better cities, happier citizens and save the world
2018
Come è possibile progettare città più “sostenibili”, “resilienti” e “smart” in un’era di scarsità di risorse, profondi conflitti sociali ed epocali emergenze ambientali? Le nuove e complesse sfide urbane stanno profondamente cambiando il ruolo di progettisti e pianificatori, sempre più “designer/manager” di un costante processo di revisione di tutto ciò che concerne l’habitat umano. Indagando in modo cross-disciplinare il complesso sistema di relazioni fra uomo, città e risorse naturali, si presenta un nuovo approccio a progetto e attuazione delle politiche urbane per la sostenibilità ambientale e sociale. Un approccio manageriale mutuato dall’ambito della gestione di imprese e l’innovazion…

2019
Action research project of the LabCity Architecture (DARCH-UNIPA), directed by Prof. Renzo Lecardane, with the IACP within the wider urban regeneration process of the Ballarò Market in Palermo. Action research is a field work, a fragile and complex work, which through a relational approach access to critically enter into places, commits to attend spaces, to face the repeated human and urban conflicts of the community through a process of re-appropriation of the right to the city. Through the use of light materials, shapes and structures, still with lights, colors, smells and sounds, the project of the new Market Hall and the public space of Piazza del Carmine redesigns the places of relatio…
