Il recupero del mito nella Philosophy for children: un farmaco contro il cyberbullismo
Get PDFThis essay offers a translation to a Mediterranean and classical style of the American curriculum of Philosophy for Children, by recovering the traditional Roman and Greek mythological narrative, interpreted as the source of the archetypal European identity and pedagogy. In fact, throughout history, by mean of the myth, the European culture could build upbringing techniques based on sentiment and emotions. Today, as the contemporary world is punctuated by renewed tribal and viral violences, it becomes urgent to reinstate methods and shapes of a discourse and a logos designed specifically for children and pre-teens subject to the dangerous risk of an affective illiteracy
Didattica inclusiva: aspetti metodologici, epistemologici e percorsi di ricerca
Get PDFInclusive education in international educational research occupies a very important position. However, the meaning of the term inclusion is not always clear. The article explains how to understand the authentic meaning of inclusive education, through the perspective of Disability Studies. In particular, the concept of normative and relative abilities will be compared, and some inclusive educational strategies will be analyzed. Finally, the links between inclusive education and educational research and the influence of J. Dewey's thought in the development of inclusive educational theory and practice will be described
La funzione affettivo-educativa dei genitori nell’affidamento “diviso”. Una nota di commento pedagogico al disegno di legge Pillon
Get PDFThe paper deals with the issue of the parents’ affective-educational function towards their offspring, after the failure of their union and comments on the Pillon bill. This bill strictly defines the time spent by minor children with each of the parents. This option appears very critical: the task of the legislator should only be to define a principle; the time for children to attend with each parent should be ample, bearing in mind the concrete situation and children’s need for a serene and balanced growth. The Pillon bill also offers the opportunity for an educational reflection on the topic of the “right of love”, as a subjective right to parental affection, essential for the emotional life of children and for their harmonious education. Denying the right of love means denying freedom and dignity
Populismi e futuro della democrazia in Europa. Una riflessione sulle orme di Dahrendorf
No full textThe article proposes a critical reading of contemporary populisms in the footsteps of Ralf Dahrendorf’s thought. Neoliberal globalization has been accompanied – for a significant part of citizenship – by a reduction in life chances, as a consequence of a model of development that has increasingly tended to place the emphasis on economic development at detriment of political freedom and social equity. On the political side we have witnessed the development of a novel kind of technocratic and scarcely democratic governance. We explore how the de-legitimization of institutions and traditional political actors and the worsening of the life condition promoted the rise of populist and anti-establishment movements. Populism expresses an view of democracy which stress the principle of popular sovereignty to the detriment of the rule of law and denies, or minimizes, the existence of a plurality of legitimate conflicting interests and opinions. According to Dahrendorf legacy, the rise of populism can be read as the expression of an ambiguous and dangerous phase of transformation of democracy. It represents, in its main expressions, a model of post-liberal democracy that can nevertheless feed risky forms of democratic authoritarianism
Dahrendorf e Habermas. Un sodalizio intellettuale
Get PDFThe essay describes some crucial moments in the intellectual biography of Ralf Dahrendorf and Jürgen Habermas, focusing on their frequent relationships in the first forty years. This research shows that, beyond the many divergences, what linked them in an enduring sodality was a radically democratic orientation that was consolidated in some epochal caesuras of German history: the advent of the Third Reich, the Second World War and the Anglo-American liberal “re-education”, the “normalization” of the Adenauer era, the crisis of democracy and the protest of the “Sixty-eight”
Aortic arch branching pattern variation: its incidence on a 20030 cases review
Get PDFVariations in the branching pattern of the aortic arch are clinically relevant because of the direct influence that their presence can have on the success of cardio-vascular procedures, neck or thorax surgery, trauma management or intensive care. In most cases these anatomical variations are asymptomatic and considered clinically benign, but some particular aortic branching patterns have been associated with surgical complications or with vascular diseases in non-surgical patients. The main objective of this work was to study the frequency of variation of the aortic arch branching pattern in a wide and varied population on the basis of literature reports. The aortic arch branching pattern of 20,030 cases reported by 40 anatomical or radiological studies were analyzed. 84,52% of the studied population had a three branches pattern and 14,65% had a two branches pattern. The four primary arteries were seen arising directly from the aortic arch in 0,81% of the cases and only 0,02% had them all arising from a common trunk
Neither Darwin’s nor Woolner’s, rather Matsys’s tubercle in the 16th century
Get PDFThe description of a swellinmg of the posterior part of the ear helix is usually credited to Darwin and Woolner, but they were preceded by the Flemish artist Quentin Matsys (1466-1530) in his painting Ecce homo, now exhibited at the City Museums of Venice
