Vittoria e dissoluzione: Franco Fortini traduttore e interprete del Surrealismo
No full textThis essay reconstructs Franco Fortini’s complex theoretical, critical, and poetic trajectory in relation to Surrealism, highlighting the metamorphosis of his judgment over more than thirty years. Beginning with his early interest in the 1940s and 1950s—culminating in the 1959 anthology published by Garzanti—Fortini engaged with the French avant-garde movement in multiple ways, both as a critic and as a translator and poet, focusing above all on the relationship between poetry and politics and on the dissemination (and dissolution) of Surrealism within contemporary culture. In the 1970s, the shift in historical and cultural conditions led Fortini to formulate the concept of “mass Surrealism,” describing the transformation of Surrealism into a depoliticized collective imaginary absorbed by the society of the spectacle and by the mechanisms of consumption. In this new phase, the author developed a systematic critique of the notion of immediacy—psychic, linguistic, mnemonic—opposing to it the necessity of voluntary memory, mediated form, and conscious historical transmission. This stance is also reflected in his poetic production, which reuses Surrealist procedures—critically—to reveal their limits and move beyond them. The essay focuses in particular on texts such as L’ora delle basse opere, in which the visionary dimension is reabsorbed into a clear-sighted representation of bureaucratized horror. In his essays as well, Fortini arrives at an anti-Surrealist position that requires the abandonment even of masters such as Proust and Benjamin, in the name of a poetry grounded in conscious remembrance, in fidelity to the intergenerational pact, and in the ethical-political function of mediation.This essay reconstructs Franco Fortini’s complex theoretical, critical, and poetic trajectory in relation to Surrealism, highlighting the metamorphosis of his judgment over more than thirty years.

Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes : Mémorialiste du surréalisme sur les ondes
No full textBetween 1947 and 1974, the poet, composer, and playwright Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes played the role of a witness and chronicler of Dadaism and Surrealism on the airwaves of Radiodiffusion française. Alongside the numerous radio plays he created during this time, he hosted a wide range of cultural programs, a significant portion of which focused on these avant-garde movements or featured their representatives. The familiarity with which he addresses his former comrades and his way of questioning them about the Surrealist adventure reflect an intention to move beyond the quarrels and vicissitudes of the movement, in order to avoid corroborating the assumptions of obsolescence that burden it. This article seeks to define the posture adopted by the poet-memoirist at the microphone, and to observe how his talks and interviews fit into the historiographical process of Surrealism that was being constructed at the mid-century, following—or in reaction to—Maurice Nadeau’s History of Surrealism and the Interviews of Breton on Parinaud's microphone, in particular.Between 1947 and 1974, the poet, composer, and playwright Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes played the role of a witness and chronicler of Dadaism and Surrealism on the airwaves of Radiodiffusion française.

The planetary man: Nature and visions in post-Christian cosmologies
No full textDespite evidence of a biblical influence on the anthropocentric model of man’s dominance over nature, some trends of Christian thought dialogue with the contemporary philosophical and anthropological insights on nature and human relationship with it. Beside Pope Francis’ relevant contribution to the debate on climate change and anthropocentrism at large, and his call for integral ecology, other Christian experiences are of great interest in this regard. The article focuses on the work of an Italian Catholic thinker who anticipated some of the current theoretical questions about Anthropocene, and envisioned a novel post-Christian, generally post-religious and even post-cultural, cosmology which is worth to investigate. In L’uomo planetario (The Planetary Man) (1985), Ernesto Balducci presents a vision of human interdependence with nature, echoing themes later explored by posthumanist anthropology. Balducci advocates for transcending the human-centered view of nature as a separate object, and embracing a planetary consciousness, urging a re-evaluation of the human-nonhuman relationship. His perspective, which predates current onto-ecological debates, underscores the urgency of overcoming anthropocentrism and embracing a holistic approach to environmental stewardship. Balducci’s vision aligns astonishingly with Chakrabarty’s concept of the “planetary age” and resonates with his argument on overcoming sustainability toward planetary habitability. Revisiting Balducci’s insights, we can find inspiration in our constant search for new visionary visions of nature and our place within it
Rethinking sustainability: When social conformity and identity transform students’ consumption
No full textIn the face of intensifying environmental degradation and unsustainable consumption trends, fostering sustainable consumption behaviour among university students has become a strategic imperative for global sustainability agendas. Although environmental education is widely endorsed as a key driver of pro-environmental behaviour, its real-world impact often remains limited when psychosocial dynamics are overlooked. This study investigates how conformity, social environment, and self-concept function as moderating factors that enhance the impacts of environmental education on sustainable consumption behaviour. Employing a large-scale quantitative design, data were collected from students across 122 public universities in Indonesia using structured questionnaires. The model was tested using Structural Equation Modelling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) through WarpPLS. The findings reveal that these psychosocial factors significantly strengthen the link between environmental education and sustainable consumption, suggesting that social identity and peer context are critical enablers of behavioural change. The study offers a novel contribution to the sustainable consumption literature by integrating educational, social, and psychological constructs within a cohesive theoretical framework. It also provides actionable insights for higher education institutions and policymakers to design transformative educational interventions that cultivate social influence, internalized norms, and environmentally responsible identities among students
Il Safety Walk Around come strumento proattivo per migliorare la qualità delle cure assistenziali: un’indagine esplorativa tra i professionisti sanitari.
No full textOBIETTIVI
Lo studio si propone di esplorare la conoscenza, la percezione e l’interesse dei professionisti sanitari dello Stabilimento Ospedaliero “Mazzoni” dell’AST di Ascoli Piceno nei confronti degli strumenti del Clinical Risk Management e, in particolare, del Safety Walk Around (SWA).
MATERIALI E METODI
Lo studio osservazionale descrittivo, di tipo cross-sectional, è stato condotto tra gennaio e aprile 2025 presso lo Stabilimento Ospedaliero “Mazzoni” dell’AST di Ascoli Piceno reclutando Medici, Infermieri e Coordinatori Infermieristici. La raccolta dati è avvenuta tramite un questionario elaborato sulla base di uno strumento precedentemente impiegato in uno studio italiano, adattato per il contesto locale, composto da una sezione anagrafica e 15 item su scala Likert. Il campione, selezionato secondo un criterio di convenienza, ha incluso esclusivamente personale in servizio.
RISULTATI
Sono stati analizzati n° 320 questionari sui n° 373 distribuiti, con un Response Rate (RR) pari all'86%, prevalentemente composto da infermieri di genere femminile. I dati hanno mostrato una conoscenza del Safety Walk Around pari al 29%. L’analisi inferenziale, eseguita mediante test del Chi-quadro, ha rilevato associazioni statisticamente significative con valore p-value <0.05 tra la qualifica professionale e la partecipazione a corsi di formazione sul Rischio Clinico e tra la qualifica professionale e la conoscenza pregressa del Safety Walk Around.
DISCUSSIONI
Il limitato livello di conoscenza del Safety Walk Around tra i professionisti dello Stabilimento Ospedaliero “Mazzoni” dell’AST di Ascoli Piceno sembra riconducibile a disomogeneità nei percorsi formativi e a una diffusione ancora parziale della metodologia nella pratica clinica aziendale, suggerendo quindi la necessità di una maggiore esposizione formativa principalmente per il personale infermieristico e, in misura minore, per i Coordinatori Infermieristici. Le criticità percepite hanno individuato ostacoli prevalentemente organizzativi e culturali, quali carenza di tempo, difficoltà comunicative e resistenza al cambiamento, che possono condizionare l’implementazione sistematica della metodologia. Le principali criticità percepite rispetto all’adozione del SWA sono risultate essere: carenza di tempo, resistenze culturali al cambiamento e difficoltà nella comunicazione interprofessionale.
CONCLUSIONI
L’indagine ha evidenziato una scarsa conoscenza del Safety Walk Around tra i professionisti sanitari e, parallelamente, una propensione formativa in tema di approcci proattivi nella gestione del Rischio Clinico. Le criticità emerse suggeriscono la necessità di promuovere interventi strutturati di sensibilizzazione e formazione, nonché di consolidare la leadership clinica, al fine di sostenere l’implementazione sistematica di tale metodologia e favorire una cultura della sicurezza matura e condivisa
The Joint Research Centre of the EU Commission: An Ideological Dispositif for Whom? A Critical and Positive Discourse Analysis
No full textThis paper comprehensively examines the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) public communication and its practices when interacting with recruited external contributors, shedding light on its role as a Foucauldian dispositif in shaping political narratives and policy decisions. Drawing inspiration from the works of Gilbert and Wodak (2000), Rossetti di Valdalbero (2021), and building upon the insights of Hughes (2018), this study employs a blend of Critical and Positive Discourse Analysis, quantitative and qualitative multimodal corpus linguistics, and autoethnography (Chang 2008; Adams et al. 2015) to dissect the JRC's activities and their implications for decision-making processes within the EU. The paper particularly focuses on the political struggles among actors involved in decision-making processes and the impact on report authors.
Keywords: Joint Research Centre; dispositif; European Union; discourse analysis; multimodality; autoethnography; political communicatio
FIFTY YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF CONTRACT: THE SCHRÖDINGER’S DEADALIVE CONTRACT’S PARADOX
No full textThis paper revisits Grant Gilmore’s The Death of Contract five decadesafter publication. Rather than resolving the tensions he exposed, it embraces thesuspension in which Gilmore left Contract Law, a juridical Schrödinger's box wheredoctrinal coherence and disintegration coexist. By resisting closure, this approachinvites readers to engage with Gilmore's paradoxes as if they remain ever-present.The contradictions within the Restatement (Second) of Contracts were never resolved,and the proliferation of sub-disciplines meant to coexist with the general contracttheory has only obscured the deeper reality: that Private Law is a terrain ofirreconcilable tensions. If Contract Law retains any centrality, it is preciselybecause it exposes—rather than reconciles—these structural contradictions,serving as the fault line along which the illusions of coherence in Private Lawuntangle
Il progetto OnFoodAtlas: per una rete italiana degli Atlanti locali del cibo
No full textQuesto lavoro esplora il ruolo del progetto OnFoodAtlas nel rafforzare la capacità di produrre e condividere conoscenze sui sistemi alimentari locali, supportando la costruzione di politiche territoriali del cibo. Questo ruolo può essere ricoperto dagli Atlanti del Cibo intesi come strumenti di mappatura, analisi e co-produzione di conoscenza, capaci di integrare saperi scientifici e pratiche locali, attivare reti di attori e accompagnare processi decisionali. Il progetto mette in rete gli Atlanti già esistenti (Torino, Roma, Laguna Veneta, Matera) e punta a sperimentare il modello in aree “follower” (Cuneo metromontana, Rieti, Padova, Lecce), con approcci contestualizzati e partecipativi. I risultati evidenziano come gli Atlanti possano costituire laboratori territoriali di innovazione sociale e politica, favorendo processi di food democracy, giustizia sociale e sostenibilità. In prospettiva, la rete degli Atlanti e le piattaforme digitali connesse potranno contribuire al consolidamento dell’Osservatorio nazionale delle politiche locali del cibo, fornendo strumenti conoscitivi, metodologici e operativi a supporto della governance multilivello dei sistemi alimentari
