Prospettive fenomenologiche: verso una città post-smart = Phenomenological perspectives: toward a post-smart city
No full textThe essay, grounded in phenomenology, critiques the technocratic paradigm of the smart city, whose algorithmic logic overrides lived experience and proves unsustainable on multiple levels. The Urbanocene is reinterpreted not just as a contrast to the Anthropocene, but as an onto-epistemic condition shaped by hyper-rational urbanization and non-porous architecture. Through Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, the essay recovers the meaning of dwelling and Boden-the embodied ground of spatial experience-contrasting the smart city with Benjamin's idea of a porous, hybrid urban space. Drawing on Tim Ingold, it envisions a post-smart city marked by relational, open-ended habitability. Central to this vision is urban rewilding, promoting city-nature hybridity and new modes of cohabitation, exemplified in the urban design work of Bernardo Secchi
Biopolíticas del trabajo en Rafael Arévalo Martínez
Full text linkThis paper reflects on the relationship between the power of life and the regulation of work in the short story by Guatemalan author Rafael Arévalo Martínez, “Por cuatrocientos dólares (Un guatemalteco en Alaska)”, published in the seventh edition (1951) of the collection El hombre que parecía un caballo (The Man Who Looked Like a Horse) (1915). Drawing on the studies of Foucault, Deleuze, Gabriel Giorgi, and others on biopolitics, this paper seeks to investigate the fictionalization of the rationalization of life in the productive world—or, in other words, the narrative tension between the power of life and governmentality, the counterpoint between irreverent feasting and the organization of bodily consumption in industrial production. The aim of this work is to define the role of queer aesthetics and baroque style, both in terms of form and content, in the definition of a subalternity (from the point of view of work and social role) as one of the key tensions that characterizes modernity
Raising the Bar in Audiovisual Translation: Developing a Subtitling Competence Framework
Full text linkOver the last decades, audiovisual consumption has been thriving thanks to the emergence of streaming platforms which have triggered the proliferation of media content and the need of large pools of qualified professionals capable of satisfying these new demands in multiple languages. While many scholars have developed translation competence frameworks in recent years, the body of literature focused on audiovisual translation (AVT) in general, and subtitling in particular, is very limited. Inspired by previous work on translation competence and skills, the present paper puts forward a set of core competences, the Subtitling Competence Framework (SCF), that can be used in academic environments and has been implemented in the design of a professional certification in subtitling launched in 2023. This project responds to a desire to raise the visibility of the work carried out by subtitlers, by addressing the lack of a professional framework of reference in the media localisation sector, and to safeguard the professionalism of a field that is expanding at an ever-increasing rate
Di grasso e di magro: cibo e valori
Full text linkIn our society, the distinction between fat and thin signals the difference between two lifestyles, the first based on the consumption of animal food, the other on the prevalent consumption of foods of plant origin. The positive values of sobriety and healthiness are associated with this dietary practice: the success of the Mediterranean diet is combined with the affirmation of these value: olive oil, which is a fat, but vegetable, summarizes them in itself. On the feast of Saint Joseph, which is celebrated in numerous places in southern Puglia during Lent, the preparation of abundant food to offer to the community and, symbolically, to the saint, takes place in compliance with the food prohibitions of the period; they prohibit the consumption of meat, eggs, dairy products, even if some transgressions are considered legitimate: it is a celebration of the lean. In Spongano, near Otranto, on the occasion of the feast of Santa Vittoria, on the eve of the day, the residue from pressing the olives is used to prepare large candles carried in processions: it is a celebration whose fundamental element is the waste of oil olive oil: the value celebrated, in this case, is that of reuse which contrasts with exasperated consumerism
Diritti e doveri morali, attivismo e agency: oltre i confini cronotopici del griko
Full text linkIn this chapter, I address issues of language ideologies that affect agency by presenting the case of Griko, or Salentine Greek, a Greek variety used in the Southern Italian province of Lecce (Salento) in the region of Apulia. I will argue that agency is constantly contested and negotiated among a multitude of social actors and enacted with reference to morality in its dual articulation: as the recognition of the moral right to represent Griko, and as a fulfilment of a perceived moral duty towards the language and its speakers, past and present
L'asino in corpo. Sesso e pazienza tra monaci e santi nel Medioevo
Full text linkThe essay, suspended between history and anthropology, aims to explore the perception of the donkey between the High and Late Middle Ages. The donkey, long mistreated in the popular mind due to ingrained clichés surrounding it, and especially contrasted with the horse, considered a more noble and useful animal than the humble donkey, was instead redeemed when, thanks to Christian and hagiographic literature, it gained a wholly positive charge capable of engendering sentiments of clear evangelical inspiration
The Evolving Political Discourse of Movement-Parties: The Case of La France Insoumise - Nouveau Front Populaire in the 2024 French Legislative Elections
Full text linkThis paper examines the evolving political discourse of La France Insoumise (LFI) during the 2024 French legislative elections, following the unexpected dissolution of the National Assembly by President Macron. These elections led to the creation of the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP), a left-wing coalition that included previously opposed parties like the Parti Socialiste (PS). The study explores whether LFI's discourse, traditionally opposed to mainstream parties, has shifted. Combining visual, content and discourse analysis, the paper analyzes 10 speeches by LFI leaders, focusing on framing and discourse evolution. It finds that LFI's opposition to mainstream parties has softened, emphasizing unity against the far-right Rassemblement National (RN). However, LFI maintains its left-wing populist themes, particularly appeals to the people and national identity. This research sheds light on how movement-parties adapt their rhetoric when institutionalized, offering insights into the dynamics of contemporary populism in Europe
Introduction - Exploring the Kurdish Movement: Power Relations, Historical Dynamics and Theoretical Perspectives
Full text linkThis editorial positions Kurdish politics at a turning point initiated by the PKK's 2025 decision to dissolve its armed wing and by concomitant institutional realignments in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Building on feminist, post-colonial, and transnational scholarship, the special issue advances a three-level framework. First, it traces the historically sedimented repertoires of state coercion and colonial governance that define Kurdish political opportunities. Second, it examines the movement's evolving ideological corpus-especially Democratic Modernity and Jineolojî-which articulates a counter-theory of decentralised authority. Third, it analyses the micro-processes of recruitment, activist identity formation, and disciplined internal hierarchy that embed revolutionary ideas in everyday practice. A state-power cluster, an ideology cluster, and a micro-sociology study show the framework's reach. Two cross-cutting themes structure the issue: power, understood as the intersection of coercive sovereignty, revolutionary decentralisation, and intra-movement organisation; and history, viewed simultaneously as a state instrument of closure and a movement resource for alternative futures. Building on the volume's findings, the introduction sketches three forward research paths: (i) a sociology of mobilisation under post-insurgency transition; (ii) a comparative politics agenda on peace settlements, DDR, and autonomy design; and (iii) a political-theory programme probing how post-statist and decolonial imaginaries can be institutionalised
