Scholastic valuation: between normative and practices
No full textSchool evaluation is an important part of the teaching profession, as well as an educational and pedagogical resource. However, it also represents an area of misunderstanding and sometimes erroneous interpretation. The aim of this article is to provide, through an analysis of the relevant regulations and related case law, useful insights to avoid disputes and to guide teachers, especially those with little experience, towards a clear understanding of their role in this area. The ultimate goal of these pages is to offer educational support for university courses preparing for the teaching profession in primary and secondary schools.La valutazione scolastica costituisce un importante adempimento, oltre che una risorsa educativo-pedagogica, della professionalità docente ma allo stesso tempo rappresenta un campo su cui si giocano misconoscenze e interpretazioni, a volte, erronee. L’obiettivo del contributo è quello di fornire, attraverso un’analisi delle norme vigenti in materia e della relativa giurisprudenza, riflessioni utili a evitare l'insorgere di contenziosi e di accompagnare i docenti, specialmente se poco esperti, a una serena consapevolezza del proprio ruolo in tale ambito. Lo scopo ultimo di queste pagine è offrire un supporto didattico per i corsi universitari di preparazione alla professione di docente presso le scuole del primo e del secondo ciclo di istruzione
Piacere e ansia nell’apprendimento del francese in contesto universitario italofono: come navigare nel paesaggio emotivo della classe di lingua
No full textThis article examines the emotional dimension of learning French as a foreign language in Italian-speaking university contexts. Through a quantitative survey conducted on 88 university students, the research analyzes the levels and main sources of foreign language enjoyment and foreign language anxiety, exploring correlations between these emotions and factors such as multilingualism and French proficiency level. Results highlight how positive emotions facilitate learning and the necessity to create optimal cognitive, linguistic and affective conditions to improve the educational experience. The study contributes to the debate on the emotional dimension of language learning, proposing affective strategies for integrating emotions in the language classroom
Edith Stein (1891-1942)
No full textEdith Stein (1891–1942), filosofa, fenomenologa, pedagogista, allieva e assistente di Edmund Husserl e appartenente alla scuola di Gottinga, rappresenta una figura di rilievo nella filosofia del ‘900. Il suo pensiero è indissolubilmente legato alla propria vita e a esperienze personali esistenzialmente fondamentali. Il desiderio di conoscere la verità e le possibilità dell’essere umano, insieme alla ricerca di un’armonia interiore intersoggettiva e comunitaria, sono tra i principali temi dei suoi scritti. La filosofa dedica inoltre gran parte del proprio lavoro allo studio dei principali quesiti antropologici in relazione alla metafisica e alle scienze del suo tempo. La sua vita è segnata dall’appartenenza a due culture: quella ebraica tedesca e quella cristiana. Nonostante la conversione al cattolicesimo nel 1922 e la professione all’ordine del Carmelo nel 1933, la sua identità ebraica la espone alle atrocità del regime nazista. Arrestata nel 1942, morirà ad Auschwitz, ma non prima di aver lasciato un’impronta duratura nel pensiero filosofico e religioso. Fu successivamente riconosciuta come martire e santa dalla Chiesa cattolica, nonché compatrona d’Europa. I suoi studi sull’empatia rappresentano la principale innovazione filosofica di Stein, nonché una delle più importanti ricerche scientifiche di tutto il Novecento. Stein sosteneva che l’empatia fosse fondamentale per la comprensione dell’altro/a e che questo atto fosse essenziale nella costruzione delle relazioni intersoggettive e nell’autentica comprensione del proprio io. Stein, infatti, afferma che la costituzione dell’altro, che ha inizio con la percezione esterna della sua fisicità, non potrebbe progredire sino al riconoscimento di un io estraneo senza l’atto empatico. L’altro, dunque, si costituisce per l’io all’interno del vissuto empatico: in esso un io fa esperienza della persona altrui e di ciò che vive. La conversione di Stein al cattolicesimo rappresenta un momento cruciale della sua esistenza, nonché della sua riflessione filosofica tutta. Attraverso lo studio della spiritualità cristiana, in particolare attraverso le opere di Tommaso d’Aquino, Stein ha cercato di integrare la fenomenologia con la teologia cristiana, esplorando il concetto di Dio come puro spirito dall’essenza tripartita e archetipo di tutto l’essere spirituale. Il pensiero di Stein continua a esercitare una forte influenza nel panorama filosofico contemporaneo: la sua opera offre una prospettiva positiva che affronta le difficoltà esistenziali dell’essere umano, suggerendo un cammino verso una comprensione più profonda della propria essenza e della interdipendenza dagli altri
Salvaguardare la natura e l’agro-biodiversità per la sostenibilità del Pianeta: note introduttive
No full textRiabilitazione virtuale e digitale
No full textI disturbi neurologici rappresentano, a livello mondiale, una delle principali cause di disabilità e richiedono un approccio riabilitativo multidisciplinare. La riabilitazione è fondamentale nel recupero funzionale, nella prevenzione e nell’informazione dei pazienti. Oggi, grazie al progetto Interreg Italia–Slovenia X-BRAIN, la Clinica Neurologica dell’Università di Trieste utilizza presso l'Ospedale di Cattinara tecnologie avanzate, che consentono di proporre esercizi sicuri, coinvolgenti e personalizzati. Il valore aggiunto, come hanno scoperto i visitatori di questo spazio espositivo, è l’alto impatto emotivo, che stimola motivazione e costanza nel trattamento
Oltre la compartimentalizzazione: ricomporre i frammenti dell'esistenza e ripensare il senso della ricerca filosofica
No full textThis study seeks to explore the notion of compartmentalization, drawing on the insights and perspectives offered by Alasdair MacIntyre in his last book Ethics in the Conflicts of Modernity. I begin by examining several key passages in which he critiques compartmentalization as a phenomenon typical of advanced modernity (1). I then trace these insights back to their original psychological and sociological contexts, and I connect them to similar reflections found in MacIntyre’s earlier writings. This issue emerges as a fundamental concern throughout this philosophical work, one to which he has returned at various stages (2). Next, starting from MacIntyre’s theses, I highlight some of the “costs” that compartmentalization entails for moral life (3). Finally, I focus on the aspiration to restore philosophical enquiry to the unity of human life, beyond academic specialization and disciplinary fragmentation (4)
L’idea messianica come unione di esilio e utopia in Gershom Scholem e Walter Benjamin
No full textGalut (exile) and redemption (utopia) in Gershom Scholems conception of the Lurian Cabbalà are not manifestations specific to Israel, but pertain rather to all being, and they also include the mystery of divinity. The Messiah becomes the entire people of Israel and is no longer an indi-vidual redeemer: the entire people corrects the original sin. The redemption of Israel as a secu-lar, national fact remains, but expands and becomes the symbol of the redemption of the entire world, the “return of the universe to the state that should have come about when the Creator conceived Creation” (G. Scholem, The Messianic Idea in Kabbalism , in Id., The Messianic Idea in Judaism and other Essais on Jewish Spirituality, Schocken, New York, with a new Fo-reword by Arthur Hertzberg, 19952, first ed. 1971, p. 58). The Jews no longer see any contra-diction between the rationalistic, secular aspect of redemption and its mystical, universalist aspect, because the first symbolizes the second. Anguish over exile was no less acute, but it ca-me with the conviction that exile itself was rooted in Creation itself (God too shared in it!) and that the whole cosmos needed to be redeemed, an achievement requiring the work of man. It is my conviction that the vision of Walter Benjamin, so close to Scholem’s in centering on the idea of construction together with that of destruction, nevertheless stands apart in its rejec-tion of an apocalyptic conception of redemption, in which there is no continuity between histo-ry and redemption. Benjamin’s conception is influenced by the secularized doctrine of Luria, which would fuel the progressive, rationalistic, and Enlightenment-oriented vision of the follo-wing centuries, up to the reform of Haskalah and beyond, even up to the messianic ideas of Marx himself. “The liberation of Israel,” Scholem wrote, “will proceed side by side with the li-beration of the entire world.” (ivi, p. 48)
Interpreting gender-based violence against women and sex trafficking. A scoping literature review of community interpreting and transcultural mediation with survivors of violence
No full textCommunity interpreters and transcultural mediators working with survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) against women and sex trafficking are called to work in contexts that require specific knowledge, a gender perspective, and specialised training to deal with complex emotions and accounts of trauma. Despite the importance of these professionals in every service that survivors encounter on their way out of violence, not many systematic studies have been dedicated to this topic, nor does a literature review of relevant research on these issues exist. With the aim of collecting existing studies and identifying research gaps, this paper proposes a scoping literature review of contributions dedicated to interpreting in GBV and sex trafficking contexts, thematically divided and analysed in four subtopics: development and characteristics of the subdiscipline and interpreters’ specific skills; interpreter’s role in relation to neutrality and impartiality vs active involvement; exposure to trauma and risk of vicarious traumatisation; training needs and available training materials for interpreters
La «grande affaire» des socialistes français: un éclairage nouveau sur le travail de parti de Marx
No full textThe aim of this article is to highlight the contribution of the recent publication of Marx’s hitherto unpublished letter to Jules Guesde of 10 May 1879 to an understanding of his ‘party labor’. It begins by setting out Marx’s recommendations for building a workers’ party in France. He then sets out to show the specific role that Marx ascribes to the French party as part of a global revolutionary strategy unfolding on an international scale. Finally, it attempts to highlight the general orientations of this party labor by reflecting on the status of the correspondence with Jules Guesde
Apollo nelle Gallie: uno e multiplo
No full textCaesar’s list of the major deities of the Gauls mentions Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Minerva, but also Apollo, ‘who drives away disease’. However, unlike Tacitus, who, a century and a half later, equates the Alci with Castor and Pollux (and this is the only explicit attestation of interpretatio romana), Caesar mentions only Roman theonyms, without letting us know what they represent. It would be methodologically incorrect to look for a single ‘hidden god’ behind Caesar’s Apollo, because the Gallic religion was multiple. Conversely, hypothesising a multitude of local gods, all different from each other, converging in Roman times under the name of Apollo would explain nothing. The truth probably lies somewhere in between: we can identify some recurring deities, as well as multiple phenomena of attraction. In the Celtic world, two deities with non-Latin theonyms correspond preferentially to Apollo, with complementary areas of distribution: Belenos in the south and Grannos in the north. There are about twenty epicleses of Apollo in the north-western provinces, but most are simply qualitative epithets (Apollo Anextlomaros, Atepomaros, Mogetimaros, Vatumaros, etc.) or topic. The self standing theonyms equated with Apollo (apart from Belenos and Grannos) are Maponos, Borvo, Vindonnus and Moritasgus. These are deities associated with springs, as are their consorts, Sirona and Damona. That’s not to say that Apollo in Gaul should be mechanically and universally linked to spring waters. The reality is more nuanced, as shown by the case of Apollo Moritasgus in his sanctuary at Alesia. Although the cult site is characterised by the presence of springs and numerous water-related features, the theonym Moritasgos is nevertheless linked to the sea and is in fact located on the great road that crosses Gaul towards the Ocean
