Transnational Constructors of Parliamentary Democracy in Swedish and Finnish Constitutional Controversies, 1917–1919
2019
During the First World War, the legitimacy of established polities was challenged everywhere in Europe. Not only the combatant great powers but also smaller states witnessed a resurgence of constitutional disputes and competing ideological conceptualizations of revolution and reform, the will of the people, democracy, and parliamentarism. While these controversies primarily focused on the future of the national polities concerned, historical experiences and discourses accelerated by the war and the Russian Revolution were transnationally interconnected and contributed to discursive transfers between political cultures. Swedish and Finnish socialists were linked by their internationals, libe…
Reform and revolution in Scandinavia, 1917–1919 : Entangled histories and visions of the future
2019
The articles in this special issue, entitled Reform and Revolution in Scandinavia, 1917–1919: Entangled Histories and Visions of the Future, deal with the political turmoil in Scandinavia in the late 1910s, accelerated by the First World War and the revolutions in Russia in February/March and October/November 1917 and eventually in Germany in the autumn of 1918. Their special focus is on the political debates about reform and revolution and the related visions of the future of political order and social structures in national contexts and across borders. The articles examine how actors with different agendas in different contexts exploited the opportunities opened up by a window of change. …
How to blend language and ICT in the didactics of scientific translation
2014
New information and communication technologies (ICT) have burst into all spheres of our lives, modifying them in ways inconceivable barely 10 years ago. Generally speaking, these modifications have enhanced interaction processes (telecommunications), work and human production (task automation). The field of professional translation has been particularly affected by this technological revolution and has led to new research, professional and didactic paradigms, known as Automatic Translation and Computer Aided Translation. This is the framework for our present work, which attempts to put together the development of communicative (linguistic) competences with procedural (instrumental) and eval…

La Seconda Vita dell'Ambiente Costruito
2021
Il contributo inquadra i saggi, gli studi, le ricerche e progetti pubblicati sul numero 9 di AGATHÓN su ‘La Seconda Vita dell’Ambiente Costruito’, tema di interesse per il mondo accademico, delle professioni e dell’industria. Cambiamenti climatici, eccessivo consumo di suolo e di risorse non rinnovabili, produzione sempre crescente di rifiuti, emergenza pandemica e crisi socio-economica globale sono entrati di fatto nel nostro quotidiano: seppur drammatiche, per certi versi, tali questioni possono essere colte come un’opportunità per ripensare il modo e il mondo in cui viviamo. In questo contesto di ‘rivoluzione’(Floridi, 2020) e di ‘policrisi’ (Losasso, 2020), e con riferimento specifico a…
L’innovazione tecnologica e il Faculty Development.
2023
La crisi pandemica ha accelerato la diffusione di ambienti di apprendimento caratterizzati dall'uso intensivo della tecnologia. Questa novità rappresenta un obiettivo trasversale della professionalizzazione del docente universitario, con una particolare declinazione sul versante pedagogico-didattico-valutativo quale questione strategica per lo sviluppo dell’alta formazione. Il contributo illustra i risultati di una ricerca condotta con 119 docenti universitari neoassunti e 20 Direttori di dipartimento. La finalità della ricerca è stata, da una parte, rilevare la percezione dei docenti neoassunti relativa alle proprie competenze didattiche, metacognitive e valutative, con riferimento alla di…
Reimparare il comune: A teatro dopo il 1989
2020
L'articolo coglie l’invito a recarsi a teatro con una domanda in mente: in che misura la data ‘spartiacque’ del 1989 ha influenzato, cambiato, sfidato la creazione scenica in Europa? Si tratterà di vedere in che misura la scossa dell’evento 1989 (di cui non è detto che coincida del tutto con la data 1989) permise alle arti sceniche di anticipare, nel paradossale ‘in più’ di una perdita di parola (che rintracceremo in alcuni lavori teatrali dell’epoca), una profonda trasformazione di cui viviamo oggi gli effetti.

Autonomiczna Republika Krymu: pogranicze ukraińsko-rosyjskie
2014
Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest kategoria pogranicza ukraińsko-rosyjskiego ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Autonomicznej Republiki Krymu. Istotne jest ukazanie pogranicza w różnych kontekstach i ujęciach, dlatego w pierwszej części artykułu odniesiono się do wydarzeń, jakie rozgrywały się na terytorium Ukrainy na końcu 2013 roku i w pierwszych miesiącach 2014 roku. Wydarzenia ostatnich miesięcy pokazują wyraźnie, że Południowy Wschód Ukrainy nie jest monolitem. Inaczej funkcjonuje społeczeństwo Krymu, inaczej Donbasu, a jeszcze inaczej Odessy czy Charkowa. W drugiej części artykułu przedstawiono zarys historyczny etnosu Tatarów krymskich, który okazał się niezbędny do ukazania przynależ…
