Il lavoro nei servizi alla clientela. Gestione delle Risorse Umane e modelli organizzativi nell'esperienza dei Call Center in Calabria
Authors: Bruno Antonella , Vite Eugenio
Published: June 2021

Le riflessioni proposte in questo articolo costituiscono parte di un piů ampio progetto di ricerca, in cui ci si confronta con il tema del lavoro cercando di affrontare alcune tematiche particolarmente rilevanti: le problematiche inerenti la disoccupazione e le difficoltŕ nella ricerca del primo impiego lavorativo, l'instabilitŕ del lavoro e le nuove forme di lavoro non standard e gli esiti che essi producono sul ciclo di vita e sulle carriere lavorative; le trasformazioni del lavoro e quella riorganizzazione postfordista che ha interessato alcuni nuovi settori lavorativi; il rapporto tra istruzione e competenze possedute e possibilitŕ che esse siano riconosciute e valorizzate nell'ambito lavorativo. La ricerca si pone l'obiettivo di ricostruire in forma sistematica i principali fattori individuali e relativi al contesto, che incidono sul benessere degli operatori impegnati all'interno di diversi Call Center. L'interesse e la domanda di ricerca che hanno guidato questo contributo si fondano sul tentativo di affiancare la descrizione degli elementi elencati e le riflessioni che l'analisi dei dati ha sollecitato, con l'intento di determinare se il Call Center, in quanto ambito lavorativo d'inserimento, che in Calabria pur essendo emerso solo negli ultimi decenni ha avuto un forte sviluppo, rifletta o si discosti dalle tendenze che si riscontrano, piů in generale, nel mercato del lavoro italiano e nello specifico nel Mezzogiorno.
La Fiat e il lavoro operaio nella manifattura di classe mondiale
Authors: Fortunato Vincenzo
Published: June 2021

Il paper focalizza l'attenzione sulle recenti trasformazioni nell'organizzazione del lavoro e della produzione legate all'introduzione nelle fabbriche del Gruppo Fiat Auto della cosiddetta "manifattura di classe mondiale" o World Class Manufacturing (Wcm). In particolare, attraverso i dati di una ricerca sulle condizioni di lavoro e sulle relazioni industriali nello stabilimento Fiat-Sata di Melfi, si esplora l'impatto di tali cambiamenti sul lavoro operaio. I principali risultati dell'indagine evidenziano come, nonostante alcuni importanti cambiamenti legati all'adozione del Wcm rispetto alla fabbrica snella di ispirazione giapponese, appare chiaramente una marcata continuitŕ con i tradizionali principi tayloristici quali, ad esempio, la crescente importanza nei confronti di standard, metodi, tempi di produzione, unitamente alla crescita del controllo manageria- le sui lavoratori. Tutto ciň richiede una piů strategica e sofisticata gestione delle risorse umane e relazioni industriali partecipative finalizzate a ridurre la conflittualitŕ e ad ottenere il necessario consenso dei lavoratori per una buona riuscita nell'implementazione delle nuove regole e della nuova organizzazione del lavoro in fabbrica.
Strategie d'impiego neo-liberali - responsabilitŕ sociale d'impresa o getting more from less? Il caso della Germania
Authors: Greca Rainer
Published: June 2021

Uno dei principali argomenti del pensiero neo-liberale si basa sul fatto che il mercato č un'istituzione migliore, rispetto ad interventi o regolamentazioni statali, per aumentare il livello di benessere comune. Misure politiche europee - definite da questa ideologia - incoraggiano i governi a promuovere, e le imprese a favorire, iniziative di responsabilitŕ sociale d'impresa (Rsi) e cittadinanza aziendale (Ca), in quanto strumenti appropriati per migliorare il lavoro e le condizioni di vita. Nel saggio, attraverso risultati emersi da ricerche dell'autore e analisi di dati, si mostra che la conseguenza di queste politiche spesso č un'intensa partecipazione nella Rsi e nella Ca prevalentemente nel settore delle Pr o in attivitŕ di interesse pubblico, mentre le politiche neo-liberali e strategie di business provocano una crescita della disoccupazione, dei lavori precari, dell'intensificazione del lavoro ("getting more from less") e addirittura della tratta di persone.
I lavoratori della conoscenza tra informalitŕ e ambivalenza dei networks
Authors: Armano Emiliana
Published: June 2021

The aim of this paper is to summarizes the findings of a qualitative research on subjectivity of knowledge workers with reference to the main organizational studies. The analysis takes as its main methodological references Bourdieu's "Practical Reason" and the Italian tradition of social enquiry and co-research and is based on interviews with knowledge workers who make of knowledge creation, development and transmission their own strengths, with particular reference to jobs in the field of the new media and information technologies in Turin. The substantive categories of the narratives revolve around the informal nature of relations what has proved crucial for an understanding of the modus operandi and the organizational implications. There is a sort of compulsive, lively and coactive sociality, in which the norm is to be in the network. Knowledge work often informally connects people and objectives in a porosity of fluid roles among various projects. Being in the network, an informal area of temporary roles with temporary rights and duties, seems be the tipical condition. Elevated informality, self-exploitation, but also immedesimation. The jobs are insecure but with substantial motivational and emotional rewards, and lower pay is accepted even when great commitment is demanded. It is a type of working condition which, with its characteristics, would appear nowadays as typical in an upper level of work, that of knowledge working, as were long-term relationships, high salaries, proceduralisation, repetitiveness of tasks and alienation in the type of work prevalent in the large enterprise in the Fordist phase.
Dinamica del reddito e ciclo di vita
Authors: Rigg John , Sefton Tom
Published: June 2021

- This article argues that our understanding of income and poverty dynamics benefits from taking a life-cycle perspective. A person's age and family circumstances - the factors that shape their life cycle - affect the likelihood of experiencing key life events, such as partnership formation, having children, or retirement; this in turn affects their probability of experiencing rising, falling, or other income trajectories. Using ten waves of the British Household Panel Survey, we analyse the income trajectories of people at different stages in their lives in order to build a picture of income dynamics over the whole life cycle. We find that particular life events are closely associated with either rising or falling trajectories, but that there is considerable heterogeneity in income trajectories following these different events. Typically, individuals experiencing one of these life events are around twice as likely to experience a particular income trajectory, but most individuals will not follow the trajectory most commonly associated with that life event. This work improves our understanding of the financial impact of different life events and provides an indication of how effectively the welfare state cushions people against the potentially adverse impact of these events.
Economia e felicitŕ. La teoria austriaca dei beni relazionali da Menger a Robbins
Authors: Magliulo Antonio
Published: June 2021

- The paradox of happiness in economics has aroused a growing interest among scholars all over the world. In affluent societies, despite an increase in their income, many people do not declare themselves happier. One explanation is that economic growth can destroy some relational goods affecting happiness: family life, friendship, love, civil participation. Such an explanation is based on a historical interpretation: marginalism, denying the economic nature of relational goods, would have overshadowed the issue of happiness in economics. In this paper I intend to reconstruct the story of an attempt neglected but remarkable first made by Menger and Böhm-Bawerk and later by Wicksteed and Robbins: an attempt to solve the problem of human relationships in economics. JEL classification: B13; D60 Keywords: Austrian school; economics and happiness.

Il pensiero di Kenneth Boulding, economista irenico. Relazioni sociali tra scambio, dono e coercizione
Authors: Caruso Raul
Published: June 2021

- The aim of this essay is the ‘triangular theory of social interactions as expounded by Kenneth Boulding. Rediscovering the theoretical reflections of Kenneth Boulding about social interactions is even more important nowadays when economists are emphasizing the role of both formal and informal institutions in economic development and growth. In fact, he pioneered the study of elements which are commonly considered in the economic theories of institutions, social capital, reciprocity and relational goods.
Adolphe Landry's Theory of Profits
Authors: Kurz Heinz D.
Published: June 2021

The paper provides a critical assessment of Adolphe Landry's contributions to the theory of capital and interest. His analysis represents one among several variants of marginal productivity theory. The distinguishing feature of his variant is that he considers entrepreneurship a scarce factor of production alongside with the usual factors labour, land and capital. He thus tries to put entrepreneurship - the innovative agens, as Schumpeter saw it - into the Procrustean bed of marginalist theory. It is not clear whether Landry's combination of various ideas to be found in the contemporary literature generates a coherent whole, because his argument is often suggestive and vague and lacks analytical rigour.
Reati e percezione della criminalitŕ nella zona di residenza: indifferenza o convergenza?
Authors: Sacchini Giovanni
Published: June 2021

- According to a common conception - among researchers as well - there is no apparent relation between crime perception (or insecurity) indicated in surveys and the crime trend (indicated by the police force), since the perception seems to be influenced above all by what mass-media conveys. Literature indicates two dimensions of crime perception: social concern about criminality and personal fear of the phenomenon. However resorting to a useful empirical indicator, a third dimension may be contemplated between these two: the evaluation of criminality in the residence area. This article considers data that refers to the twenty Italian regions, collected by the National Institution for Statistics - Istat, regarding the Multipurpose Survey on Families. It describes the strong correlation existing between criminality perception in the residence area and the diffusion of certain kinds of predatory crimes, in particular those in which there is a strong author-victim interaction (robbery and bag-snatching) and those in which crime authors are interested in citizens' relevant economical and symbolic goods (houses or cars).
Feconditŕ e rilevanza del concetto di "ritardo culturale" Una nota su Ogburn
Authors: Bonolis Maurizio
Published: June 2021

- William F. Ogburn's theory of «Cultural Lags» has suffered from misinterpretation and simplification in sociological literature. As a consequence it has been considered outdated, notwithstanding the fact that it is a structural interpretation of social change and not, perfunctorily, a description of two «cultures». The author, already conscious of such misinterpretations, presented a brief essay, published two years before his death, on suggestions and more specific hermeneutic statements regarding the theory. These uncover its usefulness as a conceptually versatile instrument, extremely important for the understanding of a series of phenomena that appear deeply rooted to the processes of globalization, with particular reference to dynamics of encounter among different historical and cultural configurations.
L'etica in sanitŕ: empowerment, partecipazione e informazione dei cittadini. Quali sviluppi?
Authors: Cersosimo Giuseppina
Published: June 2021

- The article underlines how techniques, rules, rights and ethics constitute, or could, a set of requirements and conditions needed to give shape to a legitimate clinical experimentation on human beings and, in particular, on subjects considered vulnerable. The article focuses on the relation between doctors, researchers, bio-ethic experts, lawyers, pharmaceutical promoters and citizens. It presents the heterogeneous knowledge and interests in ethical issues regarding health care, with overlapping of equity and equality in terms of access to clinical experimentation, as well as citizens' difficulty in comprehending clinical experimentation and its effects. Finally, the study conducted with the focus group technique leads to a model that allows citizens and non-specialists to talk about participation and responsibility regarding clinical experimentation.
Introduzione. Trionfo, declino e nuove prospettive di sviluppo del volontariato in Italia
Authors: Salvini Andrea
Published: June 2021

This contribution offers a systematization of aspects tied to the meaning of voluntarism's presence in Italy's society. It reconstructs the essential characters of voluntary service and in particular, analyses in depth its dynamics of change, which - as I believe will be clear to the reader by the end of this volume point towards issues of identity, horizons and perspectives. The essay states how triumph, decline and new development perspectives are central moments of a reflection that at the same time contemplates the evolution of the phenomenon of voluntarism in our country, and considers the present changes and future perspectives, which are already revealed by many new elements present in contemporary voluntary service.
Equivoci e illusioni su identitŕ e modernizzazione
Authors: Vezzoni Paolo , Vignera Roberto
Published: June 2021

The theme of identity as a source of representations of self and social relations is at the center of the contemporary sociological debate on dilemmas of modernization and has often been considered as the analytical framework within which such unresolved issues could be caught in their most emblematic profiling. Some of these controversial issues will be taken into account in the present essay through a comparison between the social sciences and the biomolecular sciences perspectives, both increasingly involved in the clarification of the most common misconceptions regarding the immutability of this set of signs and its progressive dissolution.
Para la autocomprensión de las ciencias del espíritu: notas al comienzo de "Verdad y método" de Hans-George Gadamer
Authors: Royo Hernández Simňn
Published: June 2021

This article is a hermeneutic commentary of the introduction to "Truth and Method" by Hans-Georg Gadamer. Here, the reference to Rilke's poem allows us to take on the beginning opus. But ending and beginning are the same from a hermeneutic point of view, and this work has a circular form. In this essay, Gadamer's hermeneutics are explored with a particular focus on some of the basic concepts of his philosophy.
The Istitutional Approach in the Economic Thought of Carlo Cattaneo
Authors: Mistri Maurizio
Published: June 2021

- Carlo Cattaneo was one the most eminent thinker of the Italy in the Risorgimento period. His interests were devoted to social sciences with a focus of the economic engineering. This paper is devoted to demonstrate the particular attention of Cattaneo to a particular approach to economics; that is the analysis of Cattaneo to economical facts presents significative conceptual elements of the modern neo-institutional approach. Particularly Cattaneo emphasised the importance of the technological progress, with a particular attention to the role of knowledge and human capital. A significative work of Cattaneo is that one devoted to the analysis of relationship between legal institutions and the professional specializations of Jewes.

Sull'inseparabilitŕ delle strutture sintattiche nell'analisi classica del valore e della distribuzione
Authors: Cavalieri Duccio
Published: June 2021

The paper deals with a fundamental issue in the history of economic thought: the alleged separability in the classical analysis of distinct and sequential logical stages. It will be recalled that the contested idea of an analytical separation of the theory of value (relative prices), the theory of production (relative quantities) and the theory of the social distribution of income was initially advanced by Ricardo, in his lost Papers on the Profits of Capital and in his Essay on Profits, but later abandoned, in the third edition of the Principles. It was then reproposed by J.S. Mill, Jevons, Sraffa and Garegnani, and opposed by Malthus, Marshall and Walras. Today a separability thesis cannot be maintained, as it presupposes the existence of a given physical vector of the real wage, a circumstance which is not satisfied in the present world.
A multilateral Framework on Investment: Attempts, Outcomes and Proposal
Authors: Sapienza Elvira
Published: June 2021

- So far the efforts to develop a multilateral regime have failed because of a divergence in approaches between developed and developing countries. States have made efforts to create rules through bargaining and negotiating within international economic institutions that they see as instruments through which pursuing their specific economic interests. These rules, in turn, will shape state behaviour. The key question, especially for developing countries, is whether such sets of rules reflect an existing distribution of economic power or whether these rules can transform power based relationships. This paper examines the complexity of the issues involved in the creation of a comprehensive framework for investment going through the different attempts, the results obtained and analysing the different positions in order to discuss the need of creating such a framework, its form and the best forum.
Lessons from the 2007-2008 Crisis: The Benefits from a "Soft" Methodological Pluralism in the Analysis of Financial Markets
Authors: Stefancic Mitja
Published: June 2021

The article argues that contemporary financial markets and financial innovation can be analysed from a number of perspectives and theoretical standpoints. The 2007-2008 financial crisis stimulates an evaluation of the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in the analysis of a remarkably complex financial system. The article provides an argument in support of the application of a "soft pluralism" in policy related to financial regulation. Particularly softer versions of pluralist methodologies enable financial analysts and professional practitioners to work on the new regulation of financial markets, and to implement the design of a dynamic and fair capitalism. Therefore, soft pluralism is relevant for providing a clear definition of the bases for sustainable wealth creation and the maximisation of the benefits from globalisation through a plurality of perspectives.
European Policy Reactions to the Financial Crisis
Authors: Panico Carlo , Purificato Francesco
Published: June 2021

The paper examines how economic policy have been carried out in Europe during the recent financial crisis. It focuses on the changes introduced in the operational procedures of monetary policy in the euro area in 2007 and 2008, pointing out that the objective of the authorities has been to respond to the liquidity needs of the monetary financial institutions, avoiding to loose control over M3. The paper argues that the interventions of the Eurosystem have produced satisfactory results and underlines the problems generated by the fall in productive activity and the need to face them with fiscal policies instruments. The inefficient forms of coordination between monetary and fiscal policies and the management of the government debt in some euro area countries are seen as the main sources of preoccupation for the evolution of the crisis.
The Wage Differentials between Skilled and Unskilled Workers: An Analysis for Italy
Authors: Corsini Lorenzo , Olivieri Elisabetta
Published: June 2021

The authors study the evolution of the wage differentials between skilled and unskilled workers in Italy from 1977 to 2004. In this period, the differentials do not show a clear trend (apart for a feeble increasing trend in the very last years) and they fluctuate around a fairly stable mean. Four factors may influence the evolution of those differentials: relative supply of skilled and unskilled workers, technological change (which may be biased toward a certain category), international commerce, and, finally, institutions in the labour market. After discussing some of these aspects from a theoretical point of view, the authors perform an econometrical analysis for the Italian case with the SUR estimation technique, and test which of these factors are important in explaining the evolution of the differentials and how they affect different categories of workers.
Budapest: progresso urbano a passi accelerati
Authors: Ordasi Zsuzsa
Published: June 2021

- Unlike other great cities of Europe, Budapest did not experience any significant urban development before the nineteenth century, especially before 1867, the year of the foundation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. After that, the city became the second pole, after Vienna, of this important European state. The capital of the Kingdom of Hungary grew through the use of various types of urban architecture and especially through a "style" that was meant to express Hungarian national identity. Architects, engineers, and other professionals from Hungary and Austria contributed to this process of modernization as well as many foreigners from Germany, France and England. The city's master plan - modeled after Paris's - focused on the area crossed by the Viale Sugár [Boulevard of the Spoke] was set on the Parisian model and so covered only certain parts of the city. The Committee on Public Works (1870-1948) played a leading role in putting the plan approved in 1972 - into effect in all aspects of urban planning, architecture and infrastructure.
Agram, Zŕgrŕb, Zagreb. Le trasformazioni urbane della capitale del regno di Croazia durante il XIX secolo
Authors: Tomasella Paolo
Published: June 2021

- Located in one of the most important crossroads of languages, customs and traditions that make up the central European mosaic, Zagreb is more than just the name of an eastern European capital. The urban development of Zagreb is a prime example of the so-called Gründerzeit or "Founding Period" during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Like Vienna and Budapest in the latter 19th century, Zagreb acquired a specific urban pattern and a contemporary building style. In the year 1850 the centuries-old division between the ecclesiastical city of Kaptol and the royal city of Gradec was ended by imperial decree. This event marked the start of its development as a modern city. The modernization of Zagreb started with a conscious urban plan that envisioned the city as an industrial centre with improved railways lines. The starting point of this development was the union of the medieval centers - Kaptol and Gradec (Gornji Grad) - with the new city's section built on the plains and referred to as the "Lower City." In 1857 the first building regulation order was published. This document first defined the grid work of the new part of the city named Donji Grad. The first regulatory plan of 1864-1865 was a technical development plan dealing with expansion of the city through solving municipal issues. (Its original drawing was destroyed.) In 1878 the earliest surviving regulatory plan was drawn up, outlining development on a grid in the area between the new railway and the Medvednica hills. The second development plan was drawn up in the year 1887. It was based on artistic principles with the creation of a monumental structure framework for the "Lower City," including the so-called "Green Horseshoe" (Zelena potkova) - the original city park enclosing public buildings and the system of gardens and squares. This urban framework was the magnificent setting for the shrines of national culture, science and education. In 1897 a new version of the building decree created the conditions for the city's urban development in the 20th century.
L'Arno come asse dello sviluppo toscano. Una funzione che si esaurisce
Authors: Bortolotti Lando
Published: June 2021

L'argomento del saggio č il sistema di trasporto delle merci per vie d'acqua interne, fiumi canali e laghi, che faceva capo all'Arno, nel Granducato di Toscana e nel piccolo Stato di Lucca, fra il 1737 e il 1859 cioč nell'epoca dei granduchi Asburgo Lorena. Sono presi in esame l'organizzazione politico-amministrativa, e aspetti geografici e tecnici: l'Arno come confine e/o elemento di unitŕ, le infrastrutture della navigazione, le imbarcazioni; ed anche le politiche condotte dai Lorena, in base ai valori diffusi dall'illuminismo L'importanza del trasporto per via d'acqua cala, anche durante il regno del principe riformatore Pietro Leopoldo. Mancano riforme organiche, gli interventi sono pochi, piů per conservare che per riformare. In realtŕ la preminenza č data alle strade, conformemente alle teorie degli illuministi e agli esempi stranieri. Il cambiamento dei valori, l'eliminazione dei privilegi, dei vincoli e dell'assistenza ai poveri con i prezzi "politici" delle "grasce" porta trasformare il lago di Bientina, e vari decenni dopo quello di Fucecchio, in aree coltivate, a favore del ceto fondiario toscano.
Acque morte: il lago e la palude di Bientina nel Settecento
Authors: Zagli Andrea
Published: June 2021

Il caso della palude di Bientina, una vasta zona umida bonificata mediante canalizzazioni alla vigilia dell'unitŕ d'Italia, viene indagato cercando di coglierne la complessitŕ e le contraddizioni. La presenza di un confine politico fra Lucca e Firenze compromise fino a metŕ ‘800, in virtů di interessi divergenti, ogni tentativo di condividere soluzioni e progetti di bonifica. Il saggio cerca di spiegare come le acque stagnanti di Bientina - "le acque morte" - fossero ancora nel XVIII secolo un ecosistema umido estremamente composito e, e come tale appariva nella cartografia e nelle fonti storiche. In realtŕ potremmo parlare, ribaltando in positivo lo stereotipo "palustre", di acque estremamente "vive", intorno alle quali ruotavano, da secoli, complesse forme di organizzazione economica e sociale. A partire dalle riforme del '700 iniziň a prevalere un modello di sviluppo incentrato sull'agricoltura e sulla progressiva riduzione e ‘domesticazione' di questo paesaggio di acque. Non si trattň, tuttavia, di un processo inevitabile ma di una graduale e assai contrastata affermazione di un modo diverso di intendere e di utilizzare lo spazio ambientale.
L'Africa delle capitali
Authors: Cresti Federico
Published: June 2021

Nell'ultimo mezzo secolo, a partire dall'‘Anno dell'Africa' (1960, quando 17 stati africani divennero indipendenti), la popolazione del continente ha avuto una crescita molto rapida, toccando recentemente il miliardo di abitanti. In particolare la crescita ha riguardato la popolazione delle grandi cittŕ: se solamente due cittŕ, Ibadan e Johannesburg, intorno alla metŕ del Novecento avevano piů di un milione di abitanti, circa un ventennio piů tardi se ne contavano, sotto questa categoria ‘milionaria', venticinque. Piů di un terzo della popolazione totale (il 38%, circa 350 milioni di abitanti) giŕ viveva in una situazione urbana nel 2005, e secondo alcune proiezioni i ‘cittadini' africani alla metŕ di questo secolo saranno molto piů della metŕ della popolazione totale, toccando il 65%. L'analisi di alcuni casi di capitali africane (Mogadiscio, Lomé, Dakar, Nairobi) nel loro sviluppo recente mostra i problemi specifici di queste grandi cittŕ africane e analizza la loro vicenda nel legame con le vicende politiche del loro paese.
Dinamiche politiche e regimi di conflitto nella Mogadiscio contemporanea
Authors: Guglielmo Matteo
Published: June 2021

La guerra civile in Somalia si protrae ormai da diciotto anni, cambiando spesso attori, interessi e caratteri. A causa di essa, le sue cittŕ sembrano essere mutate, non tanto in seguito alla definizione di politiche urbane ufficiali, ma piuttosto seguendo linee imposte dal conflitto stesso. Mogadiscio, capitale della Repubblica Somala dal 1960, č uno dei centri che ha risentito maggiormente dei cambiamenti politici e sociali post- 1991, adattando i suoi spazi e confini ai processi di scontro e, conseguentemente, di mobilitŕ forzata che continuano a contraddistinguere l'intero paese e la sua popolazione. Cosě, la geografia del conflitto ha finito col trasferire i suoi caratteri nella stessa conformazione urbana della capitale, trasformando profondamente quartieri, mercati, spazi e, al tempo stesso, aprendola a nuovi centri di potere e di autoritŕ i quali, seppur brutali e illiberali, sembrano comunque aver registrato un certo grado di successo. In tale contesto, i processi di globalizzazione hanno trovato campo fertile: Mogadiscio č diventato uno dei centri economici piů dinamici del Corno d'Africa, aperto non solo ai mercati regionali, ma anche a quelli arabi, i cui vettori principali si sviluppano tutt'oggi attraverso l'asse Dubai-Mogadiscio. Questo articolo si propone di fornire uno spaccato sulle dinamiche politiche e sociali che hanno contraddistinto la capitale somala dallo scoppio della guerra civile nel 1991 ad oggi, cercando di individuare non solo i suoi mutamenti fisici e strutturali, ma anche di identificare gli attori che ne hanno determinato i nuovi assetti economici e di potere.
"Voci di un'Italia bambina". Monumenti toponomastica e allestimenti celebrativi nella costruzione della cittŕ risorgimentale
Authors: Treccani Gian Paolo
Published: June 2021

Sono numerosi gli studi dedicati ai processi di trasformazione delle cittŕ italiane, avvenuti dopo l'unitŕ del Paese. In particolare, si tratta di ricerche che hanno indagato gli aspetti quantitativi di tale fenomeno, che riguardano lo sviluppo territoriale dei centri abitati, la dotazione di nuove infrastrutture, quali strade, ferrovie, porti, ecc, o la realizzazione di grandi opere pubbliche con finalitŕ di carattere sociale. Meno numerosi sono invece gli studi dedicati alle trasformazioni dei centri abitati e dei territori prodotte da quel fenomeno che si definisce di "costruzione dell'identitŕ nazionale". Lo scritto delinea il contesto in cui prende forma tale progetto e inquadra i temi che ne costituiscono la concretizzazione. Si tratta, nello specifico, di individuare quella "geografia" (costituita da un numero infinito di monumenti commemorativi del Risorgimento, di luoghi simbolici, di targhe in ricordo di eventi insurrezionali, di lapidi con epigrafi dedicatorie, di toponomastiche e itinerari d'ispirazione patriottica, di restauri dei cosiddetti "monumenti nazionali") in cui prende forma tale progetto e di evidenziarne i caratteri specifici. Tale rappresentazione dell'identitŕ nazionale costituisce oggi un tratto imprescindibile del volto delle cittŕ italiane, e richiede politiche di tutela e valorizzazione.
Messina l'italianissima. Il volto della cittŕ post-risorgimentale (1847-1880)
Authors: Oteri Annunziata Maria
Published: June 2021

Per il numero di vittime e i danni materiali subiti durante i moti rivoluzionari del 1848, Messina dopo l'Unitŕ d'Italia, si č meritata l'appellativo di "Italianissima" e il riconoscimento di "benemerita del Risorgimento nazionale". A una cosě appassionata partecipazione alla causa italiana non sono seguiti, perň, una volta entrata la cittŕ a far parte del nuovo regno, segni evidenti di tale adesione. A differenza che in molte altre cittŕ, anche emotivamente meno coinvolte, gli iniziali ambiziosi programmi di celebrazione, nel vivo dell'impianto urbano, di fatti e eroi del Risorgimento si esauriscono nel giro di pochi anni e sono assorbiti da un indolente processo di crescita urbana che, come altrove, nasce da esigenze di ampliamento e risanamento. Č altrettanto indicativo, che a Messina, né prima né dopo il terremoto del 1908, si siano celebrati nelle trame urbane, gli eroi del Risorgimento.Vittorio Emanuele II, Garibaldi, Cavour, Mazzini sono infatti ricordati soltanto nella toponomastica o in qualche busto di modeste dimensioni eretto in un angolo disperso di un giardino comunale o del cimitero. Il saggio analizza le ragioni di tali insolvenze in particolare i condizionamenti di una classe politica ancora agganciata ai vecchi sistemi e la scarsa incisivitŕ delle forze progressiste all'opposizione.
I confini dissolti. la dismissione delle mura urbane in Italia dopo l'unitŕ
Authors: Oteri Annunziata Maria
Published: June 2021

Generalmente s'individua, come principale causa della sistematica dismissione delle mura urbane, una vaga esigenza di modernitŕ. Č un'argomentazione senz'altro corretta, ma forse insufficiente a giustificare l'imponente processo che, dal secondo Ottocento, ha contribuito in modo decisivo al radicale mutamento della fisionomia di molte cittŕ europee di grandi, medie ma anche piccole dimensioni. Il saggio presenta i contenuti del volume dedicato alla dismissione delle fortificazioni urbane dopo l'unitŕ d'Italia. Attraverso alcuni casi esemplificativi (Milano, Brescia, Roma, Napoli, Crotone e Messina) s'indagano, senza la pretesa di fornire un quadro esaustivo, e nella specificitŕ di ciascun esempio, piů che gli esiti tangibili del fenomeno, giŕ ampiamente noti, le ragioni economiche, sociali, culturali che l'hanno prodotto. La dismissione č qui sondata come momento di avvio di quella radicale conversione che Alberto Caracciolo ben sintetizza nel passaggio da "cittŕ tradizionale in cittŕ del capitalismo". Non a caso, l'indagine si č circoscritta alle cinte, in qualche caso alle cittadelle e ai forti, escludendo gli altri insediamenti militari (caserme, cavallerizze, ospedali, collegi, officine, ecc.), la cui dismissione, per varie ragioni, ha seguito iter in tutto differenti. L'indagine riguarda in particolare il periodo postunitario, seppure con qualche rilevante anticipazione, quando, da un lato il radicale mutamento nei sistemi di difesa circoscriverŕ considerevolmente il ruolo dell'esercito entro la cittŕ, dall'altro si avranno importanti cambiamenti strutturali che influiranno sui processi di dismissione giŕ parzialmente avviati.

- Socials Networks and Urban Tourism. Touristics Patterns in a small Town, Tourism in a "non touristic" small town take a peculiar place. In one sense the tourism, or even better his success, influence many dimensions of the locals socials networks; in a second sense the tourism in smalls towns are partially different comparing other patterns of urban tourism. In the specific the analysis is focused on two issues. The first issue is the role of the "folk" in a small town as part of the urban touristic product; the second issue is the multidimensional role of the local community into the touristics patterns. Starting from this analysis, the second part of the article show the results of a survey carried out in a small town (Aosta, Northern Italy).

The imperial conquest and reordering of the production, processing, distribution and consumption of food: a theoretical contribution
Authors: van der Ploeg Jan Douwe
Published: June 2021

- Empire is a new mode of ordering and governance. Food empires are monopolistic networks that control large, and expanding, parts of the production, processing, distribution and consumption of food. But food empires are not necessarily involved in the physical realities associated with these processes. Food empires control the routing and the associated transformation of agricultural and food products. In this respect food empires clearly represent an "invisible hand", a series of combined and repeated interventions into the markets that together represent "extra- economic power". Empires (and food empires particularly) do not only center on control, they simultaneously represent the appropriation and centralization of value. Due to Empire, value has, as it were, become footloose; it is increasingly becoming "a ghost".

Key words: empire; imperial networks; food production; world market; global exclusion; theory of value.
Semi, contadini e mercati: le reti per un'altra agricoltura
Authors: Corrado Alessandra
Published: June 2021

- The search for control over resources, the re-appropriation of knowledge and the development of new relationships of exchange in local markets show the diffusion of original patterns for rural development. Moving from the case of the French association Réseau Semences Paysannes and of some Italian experiences, this paper aims to illustrate the new practices and strategies developed by small rural produces in order to cope with the expropriation process menacing their existence. These are considered as examples of peasant agriculture based on the capacity of re-socializing and re-localizing food. The paper concludes by outlining how these practices can challenge the techno-scientific system of knowledge, the institutional system of governance as well as the economic system of global market. Key words: peasant agriculture; peasant networks; biodiversity; participative selection; farmers markets; rural development practices.
Pianificazione strategica e partecipazione
Authors: Mela Alfredo
Published: June 2021

-This work proposes some critical considerations about the effective participation level in Italian Strategic Planning. It focuses on participation and governance models in the actual Italian experiences, stressing their problems and their possible alternative and outlining some possible future results for Italian Strategic Planning, with a particular widespread outlook to other processes now developing in some Italian Regions territorial planning experience. Keywords: Urban governance. Public deliberation and participation, empowerment, inclusive design, neo-corporativism. Italian Metropolitan Cities and Areas: Turin case, by Giorgia Bella This work concerns the Italian discussion about metropolitan cities and areas, with a particular attention to Turin. The author focuses on the state of art of the formal constitution of Turin Metropolitan Area (AMT) borders, with particular respect to the strategic lines given by the First and the Second Strategic Plan and considering the internal political debate about possible overlaps between different institutional levels (for example metropolitan government and Provincial government) generated by the creation of the AMT, that could perhaps engender a reorganization of the regional territorial system in the end.
La cittŕ nei manuali di pianificazione strategica
Authors: Borelli Guido
Published: June 2021

- Guido Borelli This work begins its considerations stressing the importance that strategic planning has assumed among scientific community and politicians as an innovative tool in urban government construction. Moreover, most frequently scientists, public administrators and politicians put together their experiences building a ‘community of practice'. Available studies have speeded up a systematic knowledge flown in manual book production, written not only to give some guide lines to build strategic plans but to reform the fragmented action logic; in this work the author makes a reconnaissance of these principal Italian manuals, trying to underline how they can reduce urban construction processes complexity, making them a technical activity and a skill.

L'immagine mentale dell'area vasta. Le categorie di Lynch applicate alla percezione del paesaggio
Authors: Chiesi Leonardo , Costa Paolo
Published: June 2021

Il saggio mostra l'applicabilitŕ delle categorie di Kevin Lynch alla scala dell'area vasta. In occasione di una ricerca sul rapporto tra abitanti e paesaggio nel complesso collinare del Montalbano, nella campagna toscana, gli autori ricostruiscono l'immagine mentale del luogo, mettendo in luce le molteplici articolazioni e le stratificazioni dell'identitŕ locale. Gli autori mostrano come alcuni elementi del programma di Kevin Lynch conservino la loro portata teorica se applicati ad un livello di scala diverso rispetto alla proposta originaria lynchiana.
Sviluppo urbano e localismo. Note sulla nascita del concetto di sviluppo locale territoriale
Authors: Granchi Massimo
Published: June 2021

L'autore suggerisce alcune riflessioni sulla nascita del concetto di sviluppo locale territoriale. Egli ritiene che il concetto sia piuttosto recente e cerca di dimostrare come la sua attestazione, ancora oggi incompleta, abbia portato alla definizione di alcuni contributi di carattere scientifico in merito al suo significato, che fanno riferimento innanzitutto alla pianificazione e alla programmazione territoriale. L'autore, a tale proposito, distingue prioritariamente tre periodi storici evolutivi del concetto: la fase dell'autonomismo, la nascita del sistema di sviluppo locale, la nascita del localismo, e cerca di descriverli. Le riflessioni sono sviluppate attraverso un approfondimento normativo e storico che ripercorre due secoli, XIX e XX. Il lavoro č compiuto attraverso un breve excursus dei piů rappresentativi contributi scientifici di settore esistenti nel periodo preso in esame.
Il coming out nell'era di Internet, male, female o e-mail? Relazioni omosessuali e Rete
Authors: Cantelmi Tonino , Lambiase Emiliano
Published: June 2021

- The neologism "disidentity", introduced by Lai in 1999, expressed the worry about the spreading of "that feeling of disorientation" that would have shortly became the most dramatic anthropological change of the latest years. In this study we try to understand the reasons of this change, inquiring into the progressing of the feelings of indefiniteness, vacuity, lack of planning, etc., and finding its origin in the lack of transpersonal inscriptions through an eidetic path, which covers the subjectual group analytic theory, trying to go even further. Key words: identity, disidentity, transpersonal.
Veleni. Rabbia e noia nella terapia sistemica
Authors: Arcelloni Teresa , Bertrando Paolo
Published: June 2021

- In this article the authors reflect upon the emotional aspects of the therapeutic relationship, and especially on anger and boredom, two emotions that never had room within the theory of systemic therapy. This notwithstanding, systemic therapists often find themselves in situations where they experience such emotions with their clients. The leading thread of the present work is, therefore, the description of some situations where psychotherapy appears more difficult because anger and boredom are perceived as obstacles. Manifold opportunities emerge, instead, when both therapists and clients feel free and entitled to acknowledge such emotions and meta-communicate on them. To give a processual sense to these (and other) emotions, the authors think consistent with systemic thinking to locate them in the relational space "between" the actors of therapy. Therapist(s) and client(s) create a dialogical exchange with emotional aspects: in this perspective, the information brought by so-called unpleasant emotions is as relevant as that brought by satisfaction or enthusiasm. Key words: Emotions, theory of technique, systemic therapy, therapeutic relationship, anger, boredom.

- Interest to adopt the intersubjectival optical, regarded by some researchers as having a motivational evolutionary function for the individual and the species (Stern, 2004; Liotti, 2008). Encourage the family to participate in intersubjective experience, based on the sharing of feelings, intentions and meanings - through a structured game like Lausanne Trialogue Play (LTP) - can observe and assess the family alliances analyzing the interaction and coordination of the family. Starting from these considerations, the authors propose in this work the LTP application in clinical context, building an appropriate way for the context in which it is applied. This procedure has allowed us to analyze the distribution of family alliances in a clinical family sample and the possible connection of family functioning in the presence of symptoms in their children. The work hypothesis is that the LTPc can offer advantages in the evaluation process of the family and also in the therapeutic process.
L'allevamento del bambino disabile: turbe dell'attaccamento e tratti disarmonici della personalitŕ
Authors: Sorrentino Annamaria
Published: June 2021

- The attachment theory could be a useful framework for the understanding of the emotional disturbances in disabled children. Correlation between child development phase and mother's functioning in response to child's attachment needs after the severe distress generated in parents by a severe diagnosis can explain the development of functional defences in the child. These defences explain the frequency of disturbed traits in the little patients' personalities. The most suitable attitude which the treating team should hold and purpose is highlighted, since the team has to share with the parents the difficulties of rearing the sick child.
