Quando è design
2020
Quando è design è il titolo di un convegno che, per iniziativa di Paolo Fabbri, si è svolto nel Centro Internazionale di Semiotica dell’Università di Urbino nel settembre del 2018, e che abbiamo organizzato insieme a Dario Mangano con la collaborazione di Projekt (EA 7447), Laboratorio di ricerca in innovazione sociale attraverso il design dell’Università di Nîmes (Francia). Gli articoli presenti in questo numero di Ocula sono il risultato dell’evoluzione delle riflessioni della maggioranza dei relatori presenti al convegno anche in seguito agli scambi iniziati proprio in quell’occasione When is Design, we find those characteristics and values of “design culture” that regard design processe…
Indispensability and Effectiveness of Diagrams in Molecular Biology
2019
Abstract: In this paper I aim to defend a twofold thesis. On one hand, I will support, against Perini (2005), the indispensability of diagrams when structurally complex biomolecules are concerned, since it is not possible to satisfactorily use linguistic-sentential representations at that domain. On the other hand, even when diagrams are dispensable I will defend than they will generally be more effective than other representations in encoding biomolecular knowledge, relying on Kulvicki-Shimojima’s diagrammatic effectiveness thesis. Finally, I will ground many epistemic virtues of biomolecular diagrams (understandability, explanatory power, prediction and hypothesis evaluation) on their cog…
Designing Dialogs Around Picture Book Apps
2019
In Norwegian kindergartens there is a strong emphasis on communication and language stimulation. In this educational context the reading of picture book apps offers an opportunity for extended dialogs, which have great didactic potential in that they integrate language knowledge with cultural knowledge. In this chapter we discuss what dimensions of the picture book text (words and pictures), medium (app on digital tablet) and situation (adult-child relations) that the teacher needs to take into consideration when designing dialogs to encourage early language and literacy development in kindergarten. This work represents the first phase of a major innovation project that will develop a resea…

This article focuses on a young teacher-researcher’s beliefs about language and language skills. The research is motivated by findings of former studies according with which teachers’ beliefs are often relatively permanent and have a strong effect on their teaching and evaluation practices. The data consists of a teacher-researcher’s diary notes from storytelling events (n=19) in which storycrafting has been used with young primary school pupils. The study was carried out by a theory-driven content analysis in order to reveal and to be able to assess teacher-researcher’s beliefs that are only implicitly present in the data: diary markings were analyzed by comparing them to widely used dicho…
Rappresentazioni vertiginose. Tre esempi: Perec, Lequeu, Douat
2022
Nel novembre del 2009 il Museo del Louvre decise di affidare a Umberto Eco la direzione di una serie di conferenze da tenere su un argomento di sua scelta. Eco scelse il tema della ‘lista’ conferendo a quella manifestazione il nome di Vertige de la liste a cui seguì un saggio dallo stesso titolo pubblicato da Bompiani. Questa breve nota prende in prestito la stessa tematica che, per via del suo carattere altamente ete-rogeneo, è in grado di coinvolgere diversi ambiti del sapere senza minimamente accennare ad esaurirsi. L’elenco, strettamente legato alla figura retorica dell’accumulazione, può infatti costituirsi di segni, parole, suoni e di qualsiasi altra forma di rappresentazione utile a …
Time Use of the Self-Employed
2007
SUMMARY It is a well-documented empirical regularity that it is more satisfying to be self-employed than to work as an employee for an organization. A large part of this difference in job satisfaction is attributed in the literature to the strong perception of independence by the self-employed. In this paper we study people's time use as a source of entrepreneurial independence. By making use of disaggregated sequential microdata on people's time use, we are able to document that the self-employed work longer effective hours, as well as more in the evenings and weekends, than those employed by an organization. Even though being able to decide when to do one's work may be a sign of flexibili…
Lo ausente como discurso : elipsis y fuera de campo en el texto cinematográfico
2003
RESUMEN El punto de partida es la oposición al modelo de representación institucional para buscar en elipsis y fuera de campo un camino desestabilizador que evidencie sus carencias y contradicciones más profundas mediante la plena asunción como discurso de lo ausente, lo no visible, a través de la connotación. Desde la tipología física, material, que aportan otras teorizaciones, se desarrolla una alternativa, abierta, que no sólo tiene capacidad para contemplar la perspectiva del modelo hegemónico sino que abre también el camino para una ruptura con él. La primera parte de la tesis está dedicada al establecimiento del marco teórico y del estado de la cuestión al tiempo que sitúa la perspect…
Bodies, emotions and tourism: a study of Costa Cruises commercials
2013
Nowadays, tourism industry proposes different opportunities to live a vacation where the body is the main interest and the central focus of experience. Each form of tourism shows a particular universe of representation of the body and a corresponding emotional language. In this context, where bodies and spaces are associated and reciprocally constructed as symbolic languages for the benefit of the tourist’s extraordinary experience, cruise tourism is an interesting case in point to analyze above all because on cruises, people use the space of the ship in different ways and, at the same time, following general corporeal and spatial schemes. These uses and schemes reflect a particular concept…
