All in all, it’s just another mark on the wall...? Critical perspectives on sustainability and mural art in Italy
This contribution explores the relationship between sustainability and mural art, framing culture as the fourth crucial pillar of sustainable development. Adopting a distinction between “culture for sustainability” (representation) and “culture as sustainability” (material practice), the study employs a multi-method approach (literature review, documentary analysis, and semi-structured interviews with Italian street artists) to investigate the role of muralism in local development. The analysis reveals a dichotomy within the rise of “green muralism”. While institutional projects spread narratives about sustainability, some local movements criticise the risks of artwashing and the depoliticisation of public space. By examining the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability, the article highlights complex trade-offs: economic development versus the risks of gentrification; social cohesion versus museophobia and exclusion; environmental awareness versus the technical limitations of “smog-eating” paints and greenwashing. The contribution of mural art to sustainability, therefore, cannot be reduced to aesthetic or temporary interventions. Instead, this article proposes the framework of territorialised art as a necessary condition for moving from superficial decoration to true territorial sustainability
Processi di invecchiamento, ageismo e cura nei contesti ospedalieri: attori, pratiche e prospettive teoriche
The ageing of the population, a complex phenomenon that increasingly challenges contempo-rary societies, calls for multidimensional analysis and critical reflection on its social construction. This article, which introduces the Special Issue, explores key sociological themes, que-stioning the persistent dichotomies between autonomy and dependancy and between agency and passivity, that often frame the discourse on ageing. It begins by reflecting on the socio-cultural dimensions of ageing, continues with an examination of ageism in healthcare settings, and concludes by considering care practices as situated and privileged sites through which the risks of ageism can be observed and addressed
