    Visitors’ involvement in cultural organizations for a better experience

    No full text
    Cultural institutions are increasingly adopting a managerialization of their administration, i.e. the application of managerial concepts to non-profit organizations and other untraditional business to improve their efficacy and efficiency (Ferri and Zan, 2014; Pegoraro and Zan, 2017; Zan, 2000; Zan et al., 2007). In previous decades, a top-down approach was typically adopted (Zan et al., 2007), while the usefulness of a bottom-up approach to improve the products/services provided is increasingly evident from management studies (Cappa et al., 2016; Newman et al., 2012). It has been demonstrated that the public should not be seen as passive but rather useful actors who can be engaged in improving the products/services provided by organizations in different fields. To this extent science is rediscovering the crucial role of user involvement anticipated by von Hippel (1976). In this vein, cultural institutions are increasingly interested in involving visitors to improve their experience (Anberrée et al., 2015). This change in the cultural field is transforming the relationship between people and art organizations in a similar fashion to what it is happening in the R&D processes of companies with respect to citizen science and crowdsourcing phenomena (Cappa et al., 2016; Penin and Burger-Helmchen, 2011). In the specific context of cultural institutions, customers can provide their ideas to improve the cultural offer, or they can provide data related to their individual preferences to be later analyzed by the museum managers/organizers

    Oggigiorno ci troviamo a dover fronteggiare Grand Challenges, cioè pressanti problemi ambientali e sociali che impattano l’intera società. Vi è un grande fermento a livello globale per trovare e applicare strategie che possano risultare utili a tali Grand Challenges. Le risposte di Francesco Cappa e Luca Giustiniano a queste pressanti domande, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il ruolo che i cittadini (non specialisti) possono svolgere, se opportunamente stimolati, nella conduzione di ricerche scientifiche (citizen science) e nell’adozione di comportamenti virtuosi (attraverso il nudging)

Mecanismo plano que forma parte del "Artobolevsky Demonstrations Project", como "Trazador con Deslizaderas" y referencia a-z-1156. La curva que describe el seguidor (color rosa) al accionar el impulsor (color verde) es una "Cappa", cuya forma depende de la distancia entre los puntos O y A. El ángulo del impulsor puede variar entre dos posiciones límites.http://labmathematica.upv.es/eslabon/Ejercicio.asp?do=curvaCappaOliver Herrero, JL. (2018).

    Il viaggio: la ricerca di uno sguardo inquieto. Dal simile tra i simili allo sfregar di cervelli.

    No full text
    Il saggio, approfondendo la pratica del viaggio in epoca rinascimentale, evidenzia il valore formativo che tale usanza possedeva. Le modalità di tale particolare materia d’insegnamento sono approfondite sia attraverso numerosi riferimenti alla trattatistica dell’Umanesimo e del Rinascimento, ponendo tali opere in relazione ai loro antecedenti classici, sia registrando le pratiche di cui si ha testimonianza, specie grazie alle tante corrispondenze giunte fino a noi. Dal percorso compiuto, si evidenzierà quanto il viaggio, oltre a rappresentare una vera e propria affermazione del proprio status sociale, risponda anche alla necessità di straniamento e di confronto con il diverso che rappresentavano, in particolare in un autore come Michel de Montaigne, indispensabili acquisti per la formazione del nobiluomo del tardo Rinascimento

    Alberto Cappa: un autore gobettiano tra liberalismo paretiano e analisi del Risorgimento e del fascismo

    No full text
    This article aims at reintroducing and examining in depth the liberal thought of Alberto Cappa, strongly influenced by Pareto. A forgotten author nowadays, in 1920s and 1930s he reached a certain celebrity since he published two books within the editorial series of Piero Gobetti and contributed to his journals. Cappa had a prominent role in the first generation of the scholars studying Cavour and the Italian Risorgimento. His book about Vilfredo Pareto was an interesting contribution to the Italian cultural and social history. From Missiroli Cappa drew the key interpretation of the Italian unification as the enlargement of Piedmont, due to Cavour’s political ability to absorb the revolutionary tendencies of his time. Furthermore, Cappa analysed the Fascist phenomenon by highlighting that its most relevant cause in the aftermath of Risorgimento was represented by the social and political dissatisfaction of the middle class, involved in a conflict against the new popular and socialist actors emerged during the age marked by Giovanni Giolitti
