Natural Capital is one of the new scenarios in which the discipline of Design - in particular of visual communication - is called to be able to have its say. A radical paradigm shift and approach to the Natural System’s communication project has been underway for about 10 years. The park authority system and the network of actors involved in the management of the Natural Capital of our planet has begun to implement Design-Driven solutions.
The restoration of modern architecture have plently entered in the theory of conservation of monuments. For this kind of architecture the principal problem is to join authenticity with interventions for repairing, may be substituting, which takes part in order to conserve. Within restoration of modern architecture, although technological differences and the use of reinforced concrete as innovative material, does´nt meens any doctrinal and methodical difference with the restoration of historic or traditional buildings.
The disproportion between the continuous attention to the military orders by the popes of the early modern age and the meager results obtained is evident. However, these were not imposed by the religious foundations of the State of the Church. The pope’s army never worked effectively because it failed to build a peculiar identity for those who militated within it. By resorting to sociology, this paper traces the mechanisms of identity building and shows the cultural proposal of a “Soldier of the Holy Church”, with repercussions in military legislation and even in the history of art.
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to deal with the link between identity and crisis deriving by natural disasters, exploring the function of the shared identity linking individuals, groups, organizations and its external networks. The shared identity is not static. It is a dynamic self-reflexive learning process and is reciprocal. The object of the research is a medium-sized multi-utility company, which experienced the 2012 earthquakes, and how responsibly and rapidly it responded and recovered in collaboration with its stakeholders in the local territory.
Oggetto di questa rassegna sono alcuni studi recenti dedicati alla deportazione degli ebrei di Roma, che consentono di mettere a fuoco importanti nodi storici della vicenda e di sviluppare la riflessione sul posto da essa occupato nell'identità e nella memoria dell'Italia contemporanea. Secondo l'autore, quattro temi principali emergono da queste ricerche. La necessità di collocare la vicenda romana all'interno della politica complessiva della Germania nazista nei confronti degli ebrei nell'Europa occupata. Il ruolo della Chiesa cattolica in questo specifico contesto.
One of the main characteristics of the contemporary aesthetic debate is the recovery of the concept of mimesis, as a dimension that is originally involved in the foundation of human culture and the processes of cultural learning. This is evident in the aesthetic reflection developed by Gunter Gebauer and Christoph Wulf. For these two authors, mimesis is never a mere reproduction of the given reality, but always implies the production of the New, of the Other, of the different with respect to the empirical world, i.e. to the existing categorical order of the world.
Identity is a long discussed concept in many areas of philosophy. Authors of the Forum tackle the notion of identity, focusing on its history and its theoretical analysis. The normative claim embedded in the notion of identity is analysed in relation with its biological, psychological, metaphysical and political aspects.
The concept of human identity is generally built upon the view that human beings are somehow central and unique among all the other living beings. Nonetheless, presumed human uniqueness is no longer tenable after the “revolution” caused by Darwin’s theory. According to the scientific image produced by Darwinian biology human beings can no longer be understood as the outcome of a project. Furthermore, cognitive ethology undermines also the idea that Homo sapiens is equipped with unique capacities and shows unique behaviors.
Emanuela Ceva's remarkable amendment to political liberalism ushers in more tenable notions of value and conflict. Yet, in this note I claim that they could be reinforced. In particular, I contend that values are manifestations of a deeper interplay of belief and practice. Based on this, I advance a more radical view of conflicts as productive of politica! identities. The text concludes by explaining why this integration to the notions of value and conflict might benefit Ceva's theoretical project.
The paper aims to analyse the relationship between identity and
professionalism of journalists in the shift between news media and
personal accounts on social network sites. On the one side, in fact,
the correspondence between journalistic identity and journalistic
professionalism is clear; on the other side, this correspondence might
not be explicit. The paper presents a theoretical analysis on the main
critical issues raised by the use of SNs by journalists, and the results
