Da Epimenide a Teodoro di Mopsuestia, attraverso Calli¬maco, San Paolo e Giuliano
Get PDFAn examination of the citation by St. Paul (Epist. to Titus1.12)of a famous hexameter attributed to Epimenides, while tracing its polemical use by Pagans and Christians and discussing modern interpretations, highlights the sarcastic employment of the verse (against Paul) by the emperor Julian in his work Contra Galilaeosand the reaction of the Antiochean exegetes Theodore of Mopsuestia and John Chrysostom
Rutilio Namaziano e Seneca, paradossi e polemiche (a pro¬posito dei vv. 439-452 e 515-526)
No full textThis article focuses on some passages of the poem De reditu suo, vv. 439-452 and 515-526, where Rutilius Namatianus polemicizes against the hermit monks of the lonely Tuscan islands Capraia and Gorgona. The relevant verses show striking resemblances with texts by Seneca, when the philosopher criticizes the withdrawn lifestyle of some of his contemporaries. In my opinion the echoes of Senecan paradoxes are especially remarkable from a stylistic point of view

Improving governance learning for sustainable development: introductory reflections on a specific issue in adult education
Get PDFGood governance is considered a pillar in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. Failures in governance processes are considered to be at the origin of countless problems in ecosystem services management. The influence of formal and informal institutions, the role of state and non-state actors, the nature of multi-level interactions and the importance of social and economic conditions, that can facilitate or increase citizen participation, are identified as structural features of governance systems. The functioning of these systems is conceptualized as social learning as a conceptual framework to understand the dynamics and the adaptive capacity of governance systems to develop learning. Informal networks are considered to play a crucial role in these learning processes. This contribution presents a reflection on learning dimension of governance, based on relationships among sustainability, human development and ecosystem protection. Apprendimento e governance per lo sviluppo sostenibile: riflessioni introduttive su un tema specifico dell’educazione degli adultiUna buona governance è considerata un pilastro nell’attuazione dell’Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile. I fallimenti nei processi di governance sono considerati all’origine di numerosi problemi nella gestione dei servizi ecosistemici. L’influenza delle istituzioni formali e informali, il ruolo degli attori statali e non statali, la natura delle interazioni multilivello e l’importanza delle condizioni sociali ed economiche, che possono facilitare o ostacolare la partecipazione dei cittadini, sono identificate come caratteristiche strutturali dei sistemi di governance. Il funzionamento di questi sistemi è interpretato come apprendimento sociale in un quadro concettuale volto a comprendere le dinamiche e la capacità adattativa dei sistemi di governance in termini di apprendimento. Alle reti informali è riconosciuto un ruolo cruciale in questi processi. Il presente contributo presenta una riflessione sulla dimensione dell’apprendimento nei processi di governance, basata sulle relazioni tra sostenibilità, sviluppo umano e protezione degli ecosistemi.

Robotics, 3D virtual worlds and social stories. A proposal for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Get PDFThe studies on robotics and immersive virtual worlds with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder highlight a growing attention on the identification of affordances that such technologies have and on their impact for the development of social comprehension. The article will deal with a discussion of some researches in the field as well as of affordance of technologies of interest to introduce the design of a specific learning path for the creation of social stories for the comprehension of a specific emotion. Technologies will play the role of mediators at different levels: from the natural setting to the virtual one and from the interaction human-robot to the interaction avatar-robot. Robotica, mondi virtuali 3D e storie sociali. Una proposta per il disturbo dello spettro autisticoGli studi sulle applicazioni della robotica e dei mondi immersivi multi-utente con persone con disturbo dello spettro autistico evidenziano un interesse crescente per la definizione delle affordance che tali tecnologie rivestono negli interventi per il potenziamento della comprensione sociale. Il contributo, dopo una disamina di alcuni studi di settore e la discussione delle affordance delle tecnologie oggetto di interesse, presenterà una proposta di intervento sul riconoscimento di una specifica emozione. L’ipotesi di percorso proposto è basata sulla costruzione di storie sociali in cui il concetto di mediazione sarà affrontato su livelli differenti, dalla predisposizione di setting fisici naturali alla costruzione di setting virtuali e dall’interazione uomo-robot all’interazione avatar-robot

Immigrants in agricultural sector in Sicily: the experience of Sicilia Integra project
Get PDFThe overview of the most relevant literature on migration, whose main issues were human rights, work in agriculture, cultural and social inclusion, highlighted one common point: the need to foster the legal work of migrants as a driver for social integration. This finding was confirmed by a CREA-PB survey that, after outlining the role of foreign workers in Sicilian agriculture, has emphasised how their state of isolation derived mainly from their bad housing conditions directly connected to illegal employment. The evaluation of the project “Sicilia Integra”, which was born under the patronage of the UN to include young immigrants in urban agriculture activities in Sicily, was carried out through the SWOT methodology for verifying if it could be spread in the Sicilian region
