Pragmatic revolution
2015
Abstract La fine del secolo breve ha definito la globalizzazione come mainstream politico sociale e intellettuale. L’Ottocento della rivoluzione industriale determina un modello in cui il progresso tecnologico e la crescita economica avrebbero dovuto emancipare i popoli, seguendo il credo liberale, dispensando benessere e democrazia. Il modello intellettuale e di vita basato sul mercato autoregolato definisce un mondo sempre tendente alla crisi materiale e intellettuale. Le bolle speculative e le ricorrenti crisi economiche hanno definito una realtà asimmetrica rispetto alla teoria. Karl Polanyi ricostruisce abilmente sia tutti gli stadi evolutivi della trasformazione sociale che conducono …
Against cyber-utopianism. Utopian discourse "versus" sociological analysis of the transition to the digital paradigm of the cultural sphere
2015
La cultura ha dejado de ser la esfera social que iluminaba la modernidad. A pesar de su mayor centralidad social y económica propia de la sociedad postfordista, las transformaciones económicas y tecnológicas de los últimos años están cuestionando su propia existencia como esfera autónoma. En este contexto, el discurso ciberutopismo hace una lectura totalmente positiva de estas transformaciones como un empoderamiento del consumidor o del surgimientos de nuevas cadenas de cooperación creativa. Frente a este discurso ideológicamente cargado, es necesaria una ruptura epistemológica y una construcción de un programa de investigación desde la sociología de las artes y la cultura, que evalúe de fo…
A Territorial Contradiction
2014
Spatial planning and environmental restoration are essential corollaries to the management of protected natural areas; however, without a sound awareness of the evolutionary consistency of biocoenoses, the harmonious integration between human activities and ecosystem preservation remains an unattainable utopia. The theorisation of a balanced welfare, inspired by the universal tendency of ecosystems to reach a steady state, has to go along with the defection from any economic greed. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.

Architectural Utopias as Methods for Experimenting with the (Im)Possible
2020
Dominating, Protecting, Creating. A Philosophical Essay about Utopianist Attitudes
2017
La cuestión medioambiental acapara cada día la atención internacional y condiciona en buena medida las fantasías condenatorias de la sociedad actual. Persistentemente se nos anuncian finales del mundo y escenarios apocalípticos brotados de la venganza de la naturaleza, víctima, se cuenta, del progreso irresponsable y devastador del ser humano. En este artículo pretendemos reflexionar filosóficamente en torno a los impactos de la acción humana sobre el mundo físico adoptando como objeto de estudio las actitudes de la utopía ante la naturaleza. Nuestra intención principal es la de sugerir una aproximación utopista a los problemas ecológicos que haga frente, por igual, a las contraindicaciones…
Utopia e distopia nel progetto digitale
2020
Sono passati più di venti anni dalla pubblicazione di Being Digital, il celebre libro di Nicholas Negroponte, all’interno del quale il fondatore del MIT Media Lab affermava che “il passaggio dagli atomi ai bit è irreversibile e inarrestabile”. Tale preannunciata rivoluzione, sembra oggi giunta a una fase più matura coinvolgendo sia la sfera pubblica che quella privata, le professioni, la politica e l’economia. Il digitale, facilitando e razionalizzando di giorno in giorno processi precedentemente analogici, è diventato ubiquo. Se da un lato gli aspetti positivi di queste trasformazioni sono evidenti, altrettanto palesi appaiono le aporie: dalla dipendenza tecnologica al rapporto con i socia…
Interpreting the Sustainable Development Goals through the Perspectives of Utopia and Governance
2021
The article analyses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the perspective of their self-understanding of political sense expressed in key SDG documents, including both UN documents and reports produced by individual countries. Utopia and governance are presented as ideal-typical approaches and analytical tools for qualitative content analysis. This approach is argued to be particularly illuminating in the case of politics of international development, as international development is simultaneously highly utopian and deeply embedded in rationalities of governance. As this analytical framework is applied to the SDGs, it is shown that their utopian pronouncements are related to the id…
Future urban utopias
2018
The main issues, through the scenario of urban utopias, concern the forms of the city of the future, and mainly the relationship between nature and artifice in the urban context stressing a second theme, the contamination. From here some questions were developed: what are the possible integrations of innovative forms of use of nature in the contemporary city? What could be the potential sustainable landscapes to be designed for the future of our cities?
“Al infierno los cuerpos”: el transhumanismo y el giro postmoderno de la utopía
2012
Se ha convertido en habitual afirmar que en la postmodernidad la utopía deja de ser viable. No es cierto. La postmodernidad produce sus propias utopías. Al examen del transhumanismo, quizás la más representativa de ellas, se presta este artículo. Objeto rector de estudio, las vicisitudes del cuerpo en la utopía citada. It has turned into a common fact to state that utopia in postmodernity is no longer feasible. It’s no true. Postmodernity produces it’s own utopies. This article focouses in the study of transhumanism, wich is probably the most representative among them. The guiding object of research will be the vicissitudes of the body in the quoted utopia.
