Orientation as a Compass for Life
Get PDFPermanent orientation assumes a central role in the whole course of human existence. It is the goal to which the whole of society should strive: orient to be oriented. In this paper, critical issues arising from the atavistic problem of confusing the ends and means of education are highlighted. Through the investigation of some distortions concerning the educational system, the inability in the resolution of school dropout and inequality is revealed. The problem of orientation as a mere means of information close to moments of transition, together with the misrepresentation of orientation in the economy and the labor market, reveals the importance of orientation as a lifelong educational process. The fundamental role of teachers/orientators emerges in the analysis of some of the European and Italian policies and regulations on orientation. Finally, the role of pedagogues as apex figures in education and as a driving force for social and human progress globally is highlighted.Permanent orientation assumes a central role in the whole course of human existence.

The Educational Value of Dwelling
Get PDFThis article constitutes a theoretical reflection from an educational perspective that places emphasis on the notion of inhabiting in the present technological society. The discussion is based on John Dewey's pragmatism, particularly on the idea of technology resulting from the fundamental tenets of his conception of experience and aesthetics. A key element is the notion of habit, through which we manage our relationship with reality or inhabit it. Starting from an examination of technology in relation to the Deweyan notion of experience, the discussion moves towards the importance of the aesthetic dimension to come, finally, to some considerations on the meaning of habits in education and human existence.This article constitutes a theoretical reflection from an educational perspective that places emphasis on the notion of inhabiting in the present technological society.

The Inner Realm of Life in Ikeda Daisaku’s Philosophy and Practice of Human Education
Get PDFThis article examines Ikeda Daisaku’s perspectives on the inner realm of life in his philosophy and practice of ningen kyōiku, or human education. Also rendered incompletely as “heart” or “spirit” in English translations of Ikeda’s works, the inner realm of life pervades Ikeda’s corpus and is central to his view that external change in the world and society happens only through profound internal change in the individual. Through analyses of the original Japanese and English translations of Ikeda’s works, this article examines how Ikeda articulates the nature and cultivation of the inner realm of life in general and relative to human education, and explicates important denotative aspects of that Japanese that warrant attention as we consider Ikeda’s perspectives (in translation) relative to the meaning and role of spirituality and religiosity in education today, as well as to the constituent elements of human education
Valutazione, qualità e riflessività: un’analisi multidisciplinare tra teoria, ricerca, pratiche professionali ed esperienze sul campo
Get PDFWhat have been the main evolutions of evaluation models and approaches in the context of training, planning and public bodies? What are the current challenges facing research, administrations and professionals? What are the possible directions to take to improve the dimensions of effectiveness, quality and reflexivity within public services and policies? These are some of the questions that guided the articulation of this paper, in a multidisciplinary perspective and in a circular relationship between theory and practice.Quali sono state le principali evoluzioni dei modelli ed approcci valutativi nell’ambito dei contesti formativi, progettuali e degli enti pubblici? Quali sono le attuali sfide con cui la ricerca, le amministrazioni e i professionisti si confrontano? Quali le possibili direzioni da intraprendere per migliorare le dimensioni dell’efficacia, della qualità e della riflessività all’interno dei servizi e delle politiche pubbliche? Questi sono alcuni degli interrogativi che hanno guidato l’articolazione del presente contributo, in un’ottica multidisciplinare e in un rapporto circolare tra teoria e prassi
Abitare la follia. Spazi di resistenza e omologazione in The Bell Jar di Sylvia Plath
Get PDFThis paper aims to analyze Sylvia Plath’s semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, by highlighting the multiple interactions between the character Esther’s madness and her relationship to public spaces. The city of New York, the interstitial spaces like streets and trains, as well as her neighborhood and the heterotopia of the asylum, are all places where she repeatedly stages her very own performance. For each of them, Esther’s engagement with mental issues is a way of responding to or escaping multiple conflicting desires and social pressures. Finally, the paper attempts to show the problems with categorizing The Bell Jar as a Bildungsroman: Esther’s reintegration into public life is actually not an active process of self-improvement or development, but a coercion to stage a socially approved norm
«Dio tace, resta Venezia». Prospettive estetiche su abitazione e attraversamento letterario dello spazio veneziano
Get PDFThe article explores the concepts of transit and dwelling within the urban spatiality of Venice through literary analysis. It begins with an examination of Josif Brodskij’s Watermark, followed by an exploration of Guido Ceronetti’s philosophical perspective as presented in Un viaggio in Italia. By adopting a critical-philosophical approach, the analysis delves into the thematic and aesthetic elements of both texts, grounded in the authors’ viewpoints. The article then discusses comparative aspects, preceded by an overview of relevant theoretical frameworks. Through a focus on the creative processes of the works, a shared philosophical alignment is highlighted
At the Edge of Existence. Transgressive Spatialities that Subvert Expectations and Orders in Aphra Behn’s The Fair Jilt and The History of the Nun
Get PDFThroughout history, the figure of the nun has exerted an incredible fascination on writers, much like the mysterious and inaccessible places where they resided – specifically nunneries. However, the dichotomous nature of convents and monasteries – confinement and freedom – is a fundamental element through which these spaces could be reimagined. Indeed, these institutions are of great scholarly importance because they stand at the intersection of different social and cultural spheres and serve as a reflection of perspectives on gender, religion, and politics. This is perfectly illustrated in Aphra Behn’s The Fair Jilt (1688) and The History of the Nun (1689). In her novellas, Behn compares the experiences of women living in enclosed spaces to highlight the contradictory liminal spaces where legitimate socio-cultural forms are reshaped
Da locus amoenus ed eterotopia a nuovo oikos postumano: Die Wand/La parete di M. Haushofer
Get PDFHaushofer’s work has long been misunderstood, although the authoress rather anticipated central issues of feminism. Her modernity is particularly evident in Die Wand/The Wall (1963), her masterpiece, which, thanks to its great interpretative potential, not surprisingly contributed to the rediscovery and reinterpretation of the writer’s entire oeuvre. It is also the only novel that does not focus on the private and claustrophobic sphere of the domestic dwelling. The peculiarity of this text lies in the fact that, on the one hand, it is still highly topical and, on the other, its different interpretations complement rather than exclude each other, thus paving the way for always new hermeneutic approaches. This paper offers a posthuman reading of the text, which traces the stages of the protagonist’s metamorphosis as a progressive dissolution of the self and of its anthropocentric perspective in an ‘entanglement’ of space-time reticular interconnections and in a ‘fusion’ of the human with the animal and even the inorganic kingdom. In this way, although the ambivalent initial mountain idyll suddenly seems to turn into a heterotopic open-air prison, it ultimately proves to be a space for the protagonist’s ’re-location’ in a new paradoxically ‘public’ oikos of nature
