Finanziarizzazione e mercati urbani in chiave di low geopolitics: considerazioni sul caso Milano
Full text linkAbstractFinancialization and Urban Markets through the Lens of Low Geopolitics: Reflections on the Case of MilanThe financialization of real estate has reshaped global financial geographies, clustering investments in major cities following low geopolitics strategies. This study explores the nexus between financialization and hegemony from the angle of the Milanese real estate dynamics, where sovereign and institutional funds have driven capital flows into its market, amplifying global players’ influence and highlighting the city’s dependence on global investments. Using a qualitative approach, it examines such investment trends, literature, and local-global-actor interactions. The findings show how financialization shapes low geopolitics and city diplomacy practices affecting real estate markets and call for further research on the geopolitical role of the State within such a complex phenomenon
Non solum metu poenarum …
No full textAbstractFrom the extensive debate developed in Rome, arisen in the philosophical and rhetorical field, came out a ‘multipurpose’ view of punishment, not limited to metus, and the awareness that the combination of poena and praemium is able to more effectively guide the behaviour of the members of society
Intelligenza artificiale e istruzione: tra sperimentazione e prospettive evolutive
No full textARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EDUCATION: BETWEEN EXPERIMENTATION AND EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVESAbstractThis article examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, emphasizing its potential to personalize learning pathways and enhance the quality of education. Particular focus is given to an ongoing research project aimed at improving Italian students’ mathematical skills through the use of AI tools like ChatGPT, integrated into the design of teaching activities employing innovative and inclusive methodologies. The goal is to define a replicable and scalable educational model aligned with the objectives of the European Education Agenda 2030, while addressing the cultural, ethical, and regulatory challenges associated with AI adoption, such as data protection and equitable access. Finally, the article highlights how AI can become a strategic ally in reducing educational inequalities, fostering excellence, and enhancing essential skills
The Ecosocial World of Education: Perception and Interaction in Multispecies Society
Full text linkThe recognition of human-caused environmental crises has increased the need to think and act in a way that bridges the ecosocial realities of humans and the rest of nature. Therefore, this theoretical article challenges the anthropocentric assumption of human social life and communication. We formulate an educational philosophy on the nature of sociality, that recognizes the intertwining of human and other realities, and we ask how this kind of multispecies approach can guide education towards an eco-socially sustainable transformation. Based on biological and phenomenological perspectives, we describe the multispecies social community through three concepts: holobiont, flesh, and umwelt. First, human sociality must be understood in a multispecies context. Second, the ontological intertwining of humans and other living beings forms an interdependent and non-hierarchical web of life. Third, the social interaction in this multispecies society must begin by recognizing different perceptual realities. The inability to interact and participate amid different perceptual realities within the same flesh of the world with other species has proved destructive to both fellow living beings and humans. Thus, we conclude that bringing different perceptual realities to education could make learners more sensitive to different manifestations of life and create aptitudes for living together in a more-than-human world
WAR Metaphors and Agency: The Case of the COP27 News Coverage
Full text linkAbstractThis study investigates the role of war metaphors in conveying agency and responsibility within climate discourse, specifically in the context of COP27. Using a corpus of The New York Times articles and editorials from October to December 2022, the article analyses linguistic metaphors and frames and the extent to which metaphors can influence perceptions of climate action. The methodology involved using WMatrix 5 to extract words related to the source domain of war. The results show that war metaphors effectively convey the urgency to act against climate change, representing it as a violent force that especially affects vulnerable nations. The war frames assign different levels of agency to groups of social actors. Nations categorized as poor are depicted as the most affected by climate events and requiring external assistance while developing countries are portrayed as active participants in fighting climatechange. Developed countries are framed as vaguely responsible and committed to future actions rather than immediate measures against climate change. The study shows how war metaphors can shape perceptions of agency and global responsibility in climate discourse
Advancing towards Cenozoic Community Ethics: A Holistic Framework for Surpassing Anthropocentrism
Full text linkThis paper introduces the groundbreaking concept of Cenozoic community ethics or Cenozoic ecocentrism, which signifies a shift away from the anthropocentric perspective that has largely fueled environmental degradation. It advocates for a new ethical framework beyond anthropocentrism, one that integrates the principles of sentiocentrism (valuing sentient beings), biocentrism (valuing all living things), and ecocentrism (valuing ecosystems as wholes), thereby acknowledging the intrinsic value of everything from individual organisms to entire ecosystems. This forwardthinking approach leverages insights from geology and evolution to highlight the interconnectedness and essential worth of all life forms during the Cenozoic era. Instead of seeking to resolve the conflict between individual rights and the health of ecosystems, this document proposes a flexible, situation-aware balancing of these diverse ethical views. It envisions humans as considerate partners within a thriving, multi-species community, prompting us to rethink our moral obligations to the vast non-human world. The aim is to shed light on the intricate moral relationships we share with the broader living world, calling for a deeper empathy and fairer coexistence among all species
Discourse, Conflict and Cognition: Construals of the Aimara Protesters’ Representation within the Peruvian Press
No full textAbstractWithin the framework of cognitive linguistics, this article aims to study how the Peruvian press discursively represented the Aimara people and their actions in the context of a protest that resulted in human casualties following the rise to power of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte. In this civil war-like scenario, the article uncovers and highlights two types of hegemonic representations. On the one hand, it analyses how the actions of the Aimara protesters are portrayed from a certain perspective to convey a series of extremely negative evaluations or ideologies. On the other hand, the analysis shows how the Aimara are represented through metaphorical (and metonymical) processes and the implications that socially construct them as violent, criminal, and destructive subjects, among other characterizations, in the eyes of Peruvian society
