Post-fotografia etnografica
2021
È evidente come la nostra società tecnologica sia legata senza alcun dubbio alla diffusione delle immagini. Autori come Gottfried Boehm, John Mitchell, Hans Belting hanno indagato la natura dell'immagine ponendo le basi, negli anni Novanta, per l'idea di un pictorial turn, di una cultura totalmente dominata dalle immagini che è diventata adesso una possibilità tecnica reale su scala globale. Un nuovo statuto dell'immagine che si usa raccogliere sotto l'etichetta di iconic turner inserito nel più vasto campo visual culture studies. L'uso del termine cultura accanto a quello di visuale è indicativo dell'ampiezza del campo d'indagine che visual culture studies si prefiggono di ricercare: essi …

A Modern Classic of Fantastic Art: José Hernández
2021
José Hernández (Tánger, 1944-Málaga, 2013) es uno de los grandes maestros del arte fantástico con una extensa obra pictórica y gráfica reconocida en todo el mundo. En un momento en el que el arte fantástico empieza a valorarse positivamente en museos y el ámbito académico, Hernández es un referente indispensable tanto en el ámbito español como en el panorama internacional. Con una extensa obra desde los años sesenta, su personal poética proyecta un imaginario perturbador, onírico y grotesco habitado por monstruos y espectros que deambulan por misteriosos espacios, un universo muy relacionado con la tradición de los pintores renancentistas y barrocos y la literatura fantástica.
Higher Education in Networked Knowledge Societies
2016
This conceptual chapter articulates an analytical synthesis: Networked Knowledge Society. This synthesis incorporates the role of knowledge, information and communication technology (ICT) and networks in order to better understand the dynamic nature of contemporary societies. It also conceptualises the relationships between contemporary societies and higher education. A traditional approach to examining the relationships between higher education and society is to consider this from the societal point of departure to interpret or explain change in higher education. Our approach, by contrast, is relational with respect to the dynamic role of higher education in societies and the ways in which…
Uenighetsdramaturgier
2019
Hvordan kan samtidsteater bli arena, laboratorium og katalysator for «uenighetsfellesskaper» (Iversen, 2014)? I denne artikkelen drøfter jeg teatersituasjonens potensial for uenighetsfellesskap og ser uenighet i forestillinger i relasjon til uenighet om forestillinger før jeg analyserer to eksempler på «uenighetsdramaturgier». I de kontekstsensible analysene undersøker jeg hvordan publikumets interne uenighet kommer til uttrykk, og hvordan det dramaturgisk legges til rette for denne uenigheten.
Mapping Leisure across Borders
2013
Leisure has become an important domain in sociological research. While time is often spent in daily “pressing” activities, leisure time, in its multifaceted aspects, is rather oriented to convey new answers for individual and collective needs. Such answers are an important field for leisure studies as well as for the sociological questions connected with leisure. For instance, in developed countries, some of these answers concern the ways in which leisure may be spent in “the best way possible for me”, or “for my family”, or “for me with my friends”, hence focusing on it as a new basic human need/desire oriented to foster self-fulfillment. However, this idea of leisure as self-fulfillment m…

(5) Which are the occupations more related to innovation, and are innovative activities rewarded? The results presented in this chapter confirm that higher education graduates are crucial actors in the innovation process. The jobs of innovati…
Posted Migration and Segregation in the European Construction Sector
2015
Worker ‘posting’ or temporary migration of manual workers sent by their employers to work on projects abroad has become increasingly prominent in the European construction industry. It is now normal to find groups of workers from all around Europe on construction sites, living in nearby temporary accommodations, moving on to other projects or back home when the project is complete. This article highlights the interaction between the social and spatial segregation and transnational mobility of these workers in the European Union construction labour market. We argue that the work-focused and employer-dominated nature of the posted workers' social world abroad contributes to their segregation …

Dinamismi museali, il festival del pensiero contemporaneo nasce in Calabria negli spazi del Lanificio Leo
2009
C’è in fondo all’Italia una regione un po’ dimenticata, che fa da spartiacque tra due mari ed è da questi rosicchiata come mostrano i suoi contorni frastagliati. È una terra così stretta che da alcuni paesi posti in altura, è possibile accorgersi che è una penisola, come stando sulla prua di una nave, al centro delle grandi distese di acqua salata che si dilatano, fendendosi ai sui fianchi. È una terra che spesso viene scossa da tremori sotterranei, anche per l’essere esile e terminale, e proprio questo le permette di mostrarsi, come gambo di ginestra, flessibile e resistente. Deep down at the base of Italy, is an oft neglected region, its toe dipping into and dividing the waters of two sea…
