In a galaxy (no longer) far, far away, The Mandalorian between platformization and processes of celebrification.
The paper’s main aim is to analyse the television series The Mandalorian, placed within the transmedia narrative ecosystem (Pescatore, 2018) of Star Wars, to reflect on several particularly urgent issues concerning the contemporary mediascape and, more generally, the digital society we live in. Distributed by Disney+ in Italy in March 2020 (2019 in the USA), the series covered by the paper allows us to advance multiple considerations. First, it will enable us to reflect on complex television (Mittell, 2017) and how this has changed regarding renewed spectatorship (Tirino, 2020). Secondly, it allows us to reflect on new modes of consumption, production, and distribution related to the rise of SVOD services and OTT Television (Re, 2017b) and, in this case, the existence of a (proprietary) platform of the Walt Disney Company group. The Mandalorian also allows us to focus on the evolution of transmedia storytelling (within the Star Wars universe or, more generally, within the mediascape in which we live). A further aspect concerns the concept of celebrity: the production’s choice fell on the actor Pedro Pascal to play the Mandalorian; the actor participated in the promotional events linked to the release of the series, but for almost the entire duration of the first season and the second one a helmet and armour cover him. After contextualising the television series, the paper intends to highlight the abovementioned aspects
Lady Oscar’s Transmedia Universe between Gender Representation and Seriality in the Digital Age.
The narrative ecosystem spawned by the manga Berusaiyu no Bara (henceforth referred to by its English title The Rose of Versailles) (Riyoko Ikeda, 1972-1973) and its renowned protagonist, Lady Oscar, presents itself as a paradigmatic case study in the sphere of digital television seriality. It offers significant insights for the analysis of production and distribution, inter/transmedia dynamics, and the intercultural processes of fandom. This ecosystem stands out for its ability to permeate various media formats, thereby creating a rich transmedia universe. A prime example of its success is the 12-episode anime series, which first aired in Japan in 1979. This series delineates a path reflecting the metamorphosis of media consumption and practices in contemporary mediascape. Furthermore, Lady Oscar (the name given to the anime in France and Italy, where it achieved considerable success) (1979-1980, Nippon Television) assumes a pivotal role in discussions on gender representation in popular culture. The series challenges the tenets of heterosexual romanticism and traditional gender roles, with the protagonist serving as an icon of resistance against gender norms. She offers an alternative model of identity and relationships, resonating with contemporary issues of gender and sexuality. This analysis encompasses the intercultural and transnational processes, focusing on how The Rose of Versailles has captivated an international fandom, particularly in France and Italy. The series becomes a medium for exploring universal themes such as gender identity, social conflicts, and political dynamics, illustrating how a narrative can transcend cultural and geographical boundaries, influencing the perception and discussion of social issues in various contexts. Lady Oscar exemplifies how a television series can act as a crucial medium in narrating social and cultural transformations. Through its transmedia evolution, challenging gender roles, and intercultural resonance, the series provides a unique glimpse into the interaction between production, distribution, consumption, and participation in the contemporary media landscape
Sustainable Urban Communities. From “The Orto in Campania” to the LIFE SeedNEB Project – Beautifying cities through nature
The LIFE SeedNEB Project – Beautifying cities through nature – on various scales and in multiple types of spaces, experiments innovative urban greening solutions in three European cities. The goal is to inspire efforts for aesthetic enhancement and ecological transition within a re-formed and re-recognized local community.
The European Green Deal, with the transformations of spaces, infrastructures, uses, and habits that are necessary to achieve its ambitious targets by 2050, is facing significant challenges in being “accepted” by citizens. The New European Bauhaus policies, later introduced by the European Commission, aim to address these challenges by intertwining sustainability goals with the pursuit of inclusiveness and beauty, while emphasizing highly participatory and cooperative processes.
Recent studies and best practices demonstrate that guiding community action by citizens, each with their own skills, attitudes, and capabilities, towards achieving goals they identify as their own fosters virtuous behaviors, which go beyond the mere promise of ecological benefits which, instead, often seem abstract, intangible, and imposed. In this regard, the case of “The Orto in Campania”, whose characteristics, operating principles, and outcomes observed in over a decade of monitoring, are summarized in this paper, appears emblematic. Despite the limitations arising from the singularity of the surrounding conditions, it shows potential to be effectively replicated and adapted for experiments within the aforementioned LIFE SeedNEB Project.Il Progetto LIFE SeedNEB – Beautifying cities through nature, sperimenta, a diverse scale e su molteplici tipologie di spazi, innovative soluzioni di greening urbano in tre città europee campione. L’obiettivo è riuscire ad ispirare intenti di qualificazione estetica e transizione ecologica in una ri-formata e ri-riconosciutasi comunità locale. L’European Green Deal, con le trasformazioni di spazi, infrastrutture, modi d’uso ed abitudini necessarie al raggiungimento, entro il 2050, degli ambizioni obiettivi posti, sta incontrando rilevanti difficoltà nella “accettazione” da parte dei cittadini. Le politiche del New European Bauhaus successivamente introdotte dalla Commissione Europea cercano di rimediare intrecciando gli obiettivi di sostenibilità alla ricerca di inclusività e bellezza, peraltro puntando su processi intensamente partecipati e cooperativi. Recenti esperienze di ricerca e sperimentazione, infatti, dimostrano che orientare l’agire comunitario dei cittadini, ognuno con le proprie competenze, attitudini e possibilità, al raggiungimento di finalità riconosciute come proprie, susciti comportamenti virtuosi e coerenti al di là della promessa di benefici ecologici che, viceversa, spesso appaiono astratti, intangibili ed imposti. In tal senso il caso de “L’Orto in Campania”, di cui in questo articolo si riassumono caratteri, principi di funzionamento ed esiti di oltre un decennio di monitoraggio, appare emblematico e, seppur con i limiti conseguenti alla singolarità delle condizioni al contorno, potenzialmente in grado di essere efficacemente replicato ed adattato per le sperimentazioni del summenzionato Progetto LIFE SeedNEB
Premialità/incentivi e il Piano Spostamento Casa-Università per la promozione di una mobilità sostenibile urbana. Il caso di Genova
Planning alternative forms of mobility to the private car is an urgent challenge for urban areas. The paper presents the research developed (methodology and application) in the PRINCE project, PRemialità e INCEntivi per il cambiamento modale (MATTM, 2018-in progress) and the fruitful relationship initiated with the governance tool Pia-no Spostamento Casa-Università (home-university travel Plan), which UniGe has had since 2022. Given the considerable impact of university mobility within urban mobility, the research explores innovative methodologies addressed to universities, chosen as a sample community for the city. The main innovations introduced to change students’ mobility habits are the use of incentive policies, the use of technology and participation. Innovative participative methodologies and activities are therefore experimented with the aim of bringing students to the area, developing co-responsibility between them and the strategic actors for the project’s objective and forming active citizens in achieving the promotion of sustainable urban mobility. The results obtained are significant not only for the planning and promotion of sustainable academic mobility, but also for the objective of scaling up, at urban level, the good practices experimented, thus triggering a virtuous process of participatory planning and design, starting from universities.La pianificazione di forme di mobilità alternativa all’auto privata rappresenta una sfida urgente per le aree urbane. Nel paper viene presentata la ricerca sviluppata (metodolo- gia e applicazione) nel progetto PRINCE, PRemialità e INCEntivi per il cambiamento modale (MATTM, 2018-in corso) e la relazione fruttuosa avviata con lo strumento di governance Piano Spostamento Casa-Università, di cui UniGe si è dotata dal 2022. Vi- sto il notevole impatto della mobilità universitaria all’interno di quella urbana, la ricer- ca approfondisce metodologie innovative rivolte alle università, scelte come comunità campione per la città. Le principali innovazioni introdotte per far cambiare le abitudini di mobilità degli studenti sono il ricorso a politiche di incentivo, l’uso della tecnologia e della partecipazione. Vengono quindi sperimentate metodologie e attività partecipative innovative con lo scopo di portare gli studenti sul territorio, sviluppare una correspon- sabilità tra essi e gli attori strategici all’obiettivo del progetto e formare cittadini attivi nel raggiungimento della promozione della mobilità urbana sostenibile. I risultati ottenuti sono significativi non solo per la pianificazione e promozione della mobilità sostenibile accademica, ma anche per l’obiettivo di scalare, a livello urbano, le buone pratiche sperimentate, innescando così un processo virtuoso di piano-progettazione partecipata, a partire dalle università
Tracce agostiniane negli scritti di Husserl
The aim of my paper is to examine the presence of certain philosophical arguments of Augustine of Hippo in Husserlian phenomenology. This investigation is made possible by the citation of Augustine’s famous saying, “noli foras te ire, in interiore homine habitat veritas”, in three of Husserl's works concerning the transcendental reduction, the theme of time, and ethical-religious questions. In addition to these three fundamental aspects of phenomenological analysis, one must also consider philosophical anthropology and the relationship between the Divine and the human being. There are numerous traces of Augustine in Husserl’s analyses: some are explicitly referenced, while others can be uncovered through a comparative study of the two thinkers’ works. The connection with Augustine is therefore particularly significant in relation to theories of knowledge, anthropology, and Husserl’s unique “metaphysics”.

Una requisitoria a tratti simpatetica. Il corpo a corpo tra la fenomenologia trascendentale husserliana e il trascendentalismo di Kant
This essay develops a comparison between Kant’s transcendental idealism and Husserlian transcendental phenomenology. The theme of the transcendental is at the centre of Husserl’s interest, who aims to highlight the teleological motif that emerges in the history of modern philosophy. In particular, it was shown how in the transition from static phenomenology to genetic-constitutive phenomenology Husserl’s detachment from Kant manifested itself with increasing clarity, through Husserl’s criticism of Kant’s method of transcendentalism, his theory of knowledge, the so-called revolutionary Copernican turn, the Kant’s doctrine of the faculties of the soul and presupposition of absolute things in themselves, which introduced psychologistic and anthropologistic aspects into Kant’s thought. The profound diversity that reigns between Kantian idealism and the peculiar form of idealism claimed by Husserl concerns, above all, the respective conception of experience and transcendental subjectivity, from which derives the Husserlian need to reformulate the field of transcendental aesthetics, privileging from the constitutive point of view the theme of embodiment and intersubjectivity.

Husserl e la storia della logica
The essay aims to examine the role that the history of logic, in its different versions, has played in Husserlian thought. The essay consists of five paragraphs. In the first, I will go back over some preparatory material to the 1890-91 review of Schröder, in which the role of Viète and his specious algebra is mentioned for the first time, and the 1895 lectures on the history of contemporary logic. In the second, I will go back to the 1887-88 manuscripts on the history and philosophy of mathematics (in which Kant and, above all, Hume are discussed), then follow their development in 1896, when logic as a theoretical discipline is included, and in 1908, where an early reference to the Stoic theory of lektòn appears. In the third section, I will address the connection between the 1913 reduction of logic with the historical-critical analysis of the apophantic-formal analytic of 1923-24 and the distinction between rationalisation, comprehension and logification of the same years, through which the problem of the ideal genesis of the idea of rigorous science is posed. In section four, however, I will address the brief history of logic that Husserl composes in 1929, within Formal and Transcendental Logic, in which the link between Stoics and Viète, i.e. between symbolic knowledge and algebra, is now explicit, and in which the historical problem of logic is intimately connected to that of rationality as a praxis of responsibility and control, and the link between the documentation of the sciences and the creation of communities professionally concerned with truth is evident. Finally, in the conclusions, I will try to show how and why, in Crisis, the order of historical prominence goes from physical geometry to modern logic, and not vice versa.

Inclusive governance for water areas and coastal landscapes. Participatory planning in the Phlegraean Fields
Over the last century, coastal transformation has mainly dealt with urban waterfronts, the enhancement of logistic and economic demands, and the recovery of coastal aesthetic value. However, the current condition of urban shores highlights the need for planning and management to focus on the theme of coastal socio-environmental issues, which require a more inclusive approach. The paper describes the international project 'WAVE: Water Areas Vision for Europe', whose main aim is to propose innovative design and analytical methodologies to balance the gap between local strategies and community demands in coastal areas. Through multi-actor and multi-disciplinary cooperation, the research dealt with the issue of functional and ecological fragmentation of water areas in order to support the establishing of a lasting socio-ecological balance, working at a local and micro-local scale. This contribution explores the 'living lab' tool, applied in the Phlegraean Fields, as an innovative and integrated learning environment, both physical and virtual, in which it is possible to face community problems and propose solutions at a local level, supporting the governance processes underlying sustainable and inclusive changes.
Keywords: coastal areas, sustainable planning, Living labs, water spaces, Phlegraean FieldsGovernance inclusiva per gli spazi d’acqua e i paesaggi costieri. Pianificazione partecipativa nei Campi Flegrei
Nell'ultimo secolo, le trasformazioni costiere hanno principalmente riguardato i waterfront urbani, il soddisfacimento delle istanze logistico-economiche, nonché il recupero del valore estetico delle coste. Tuttavia, l'attuale status delle coste urbane evidenzia la necessità pianificatoria e gestionale di approfondire il tema delle questioni socio-ambientali costiere, che richiedono un approccio maggiormente inclusivo. Il contributo descrive il progetto internazionale “WAVE: Water Areas Vision for Europe”, il cui obiettivo principale è proporre metodologie analitico-progettuali innovative per bilanciare il divario tra le strategie locali e le esigenze della comunità nelle aree costiere. Attraverso una cooperazione multiattoriale e multi-disciplinare, la ricerca ha affrontato il tema della frammentazione funzionale ed ecologica degli spazi d’acqua a favore di un equilibrio socio-ecologico duraturo, agendo a scala locale e micro-locale. Questo paper esplora lo strumento del “living lab”, applicato nei Campi Flegrei, come ambiente di apprendimento innovativo e integrato, sia fisico sia virtuale, in cui è possibile affrontare i problemi comunitari proponendo soluzioni a livello locale, sostenendo i processi di governance alla base di cambiamenti sostenibili e inclusivi.

The 15-minute approach as a strategy to regenerate publicness of marginal districts: reflections from a case study
The 15-Minute City has been significantly successful, partly as a result of the pandemic’s impact on urban living, following the well-known application in Paris. It is argued that, once the pandemic is over, promoting proximity-led living becomes a strategy to restore quality in neighborhoods where it is structurally lacking. Standard facilities of the public city need nowadays to be restored in light of housing rights related to climate well-being, health, inclusion and, more broadly, sustainability. Where pubic administrations lack political and/or economic power, as well as sufficient human resources and technical capabilities to promote the extensive model of the 15-Minute City, a more localized approach is preferable. This approach should prioritize spatial and environmental justice criteria in the transformation process. Therefore, we present analysis and interpretations useful for enhancing the “15-Minute Neighborhood Approach” in a periphery where clusters of unfinished or abandoned facilities provide an opportunity to experiment with forms of resistance to marginalization.

La città dei 15 minuti ha avuto – anche a seguito dei riflessi della pandemia sul modo di vivere le città – notevole successo, sulla scia della nota appplicazione parigina. Si sostiene che, una volta lasciata la pandemia alle spalle, l’idea di promuovere l’abitare di prossimità diventa una strategia per riportare qualità nei quartieri dove manca strutturalmente. Le attrezzature da standard in dotazione alla città pubblica necessitano oggi di essere rivisitate alla luce di diritti all’abitare connessi al benessere climatico, alla salute, all’inclusione e, più in generale, alla sostenibilità. Laddove le amministrazioni pubbliche non abbiano forza politica e/o economica, né tantomeno risorse umane e competenze tecniche sufficienti a promuovere il modello estensivo dei 15 minuti, è auspicabile preferirgli un approccio situato che, prioritariamente, applichi criteri di giustizia spaziale e ambientale alla trasformazione. Diamo conto, pertanto, di analisi e interpretazioni utili a valorizzare “l’approccio del quartiere dei 15 minuti” in una periferia dove l’addensarsi di attrezzature incomplete o abbandonate offre l’occasione per sperimentare forme di contrasto alla marginalizzazione.
