Didattica e differenze di genere in alunni di 8-12 anni
2013
I risultati presentati fanno parte di una più ampia ricerca -tuttora in corso-, che mira ad individuare i metodi, le tecniche e gli strumenti didattici che facilitano il successo scolastico degli uomini e delle donne facendo leva sul loro diverso modo di affrontare lo studio. Le diversità fra maschi e femmine, che appartengono al naturale ordine psico-biologico e si manifestano in modo diverso nel tempo e nei luoghi, incidono in modo diretto non solo sullo sviluppo affettivo e relazionale degli alunni ma anche sul loro modo di apprendere; in questo articolo sono presi in considerazione solo gli aspetti che richiedono una particolare attenzione didattica, per quanto riguarda la fascia d’età …
À la recherche d’un langage de l’action
2018
Dans le champ des Relations internationales, Vincent Pouliot développe une théorie du praticable comme une théorie « matérielle » de la pratique, complémentaire à celle des conséquences, de la convenance, de l’argumentation. La logique du praticable serait paradoxalement la base non théorique de toutes les théories en ri. Comment l’approche de Pouliot, inspirée par les travaux de Bourdieu, se prête-t-elle à ce genre d’exercice ? Deux questions me semblent essentielles pour une analyse sociologique de la pratique en ri d’un point de vue « webero-bourdieusien » : le rôle du politique et de la domination, puis la logique de la pratique.
Observing – Treating – Classifying: On the Educational Practice of Human Differentiation
2016
Abstract Sociological research often states the reproductive function of educational systems. Thus, students are differentiated according to their cultural capital and their social background. One central dimension of the selection process is the grading performed by teachers. The paper outlines a conceptional framework of dealing with this kind of human differentiation sociologically. It therefore gives insight into the prerequisites provided by the school administration and into the empirical organization of grading – from classroom assessment to teacher meetings where final decisions are taken. Two forms of objectifying students’ performances are presented: a social as well as a numerica…
Il dibattito internazionale e la (ri)appropriazione locale del confronto sugli spazi autonomi
2014
Da alcuni decenni ormai, le pratiche di (ri)appropriazione e riconversione temporanea a fini “pubblici” di aree in disuso hanno fatto emergere esperienze interessanti, nelle principali città europee (e non solo) e in maniera significativa in alcune tra le più importanti città italiane. Un rinnovato interesse per questi temi ha dato vita, in particolare negli ultimi anni, a una serie di analisi teoriche oggi di riferimento per il dibattito internazionale. In questo contesto sembra oggi più che mai necessario introdurre autori e riferimenti internazionali per legittimare un confronto accademico su temi di pianificazione radicale come quello che riguarda il “diritto all’appropriazione” (Lefebv…
"Minéralité des vins : parlons-en !" : la conceptualisation d'un descripteur sensoriel mal défini
2016
The word minerality is widely used and spread by professionals and consumers. Since it’s first appearence in Marguerite Duras’ “Les Impudents” in 1946 in relation to wines, it passed from a fad in the early 1980’s to a phenomenon and a sensory reality today, even though no precise definition exists. Since the last decade, the use of the term “mineral” or “minerality” by the press, guides or producers themselves has notably increased in the world of wine. This enthusiasm for "minerality" concept was the origin of clever marketing and the reason for consumers to ask: What is minerality? Should I pay more for a bottle of mineral wine?The aim of this thesis is to better understand the concept o…
Best Practices for International eSourcing of Software Products and Services
2008
This paper analyzes how the information and communications technology-supported international eSourcing of software products and services (IeS) can be effectively executed. The extant literature falls short of providing a systematic and detailed enough set of best practices to guide IeS. This paper presents best practices for IeS to facilitate further research, and to help managers and other stakeholders to understand, execute, and proactively improve and manage international eSourcing. The practices emphasize the need to establish and enact rigorous, mature, and quantitatively managed eSourcing life- cycles in order to transcend temporal, geographical, social, technical, and other boundari…
Explaining Change Paths of Systems and Software Development Practices
2010
This chapter discusses how systems development practices are shaped. Based on interviews conducted in ten development organizations and previous literature, we identify eight types of change paths in systems development practices: emergence, adoption, idealization, formalization, abandonment, informalization, entropy, and disobedience. We argue that the eight change path types provide an integrated theoretical framework on the study of how systems development practices change in organizations, projects, and among individual developers in a given context. We discuss how this framework complements existing theories and concepts of the contemporary literature on systems development.
Cuerpos moldeables y vidas modulables: La invención del estado holísticamente saludable como bienestar (integral)
2020
The article argues ?from the Deleuzian concepts of society of control, moulding and modulation and the Rosean theory on the economization and medicalization of life? that the expansion of the concept of health in terms of integral and subjective well-being is the effect of a socio-historical shift in the way we relate to this signifier, and therefore to our bodies and ourselves. We use this interpretative network to analyze the effects that the biopsychosocial health paradigm has had in the context of aesthetic surgery and fitness practice. As a result, we see that the expansion of the concept of health has extended the domain of medicine into the spheres of personal care and physical appea…
Encountering ethics in studying challenging family relations
2013
This article focuses on ethical considerations in the study of challenging family relations. Our perspective derives from multidisciplinary family studies, including social sciences, psychology and educational sciences. Our concerns include why and how to apply a sensitive approach in studying challenging family relations, and what the key ethical issues are in studies of this kind. We examine questions of multiplicity in family relations, the particularity of vulnerable family relations and the roles of researchers and gatekeepers in the research process. The article is based on a research project where informants were both children and adults, and both qualitative and quantitative data we…
