L'incommensurabile valore dei ritorni. Andrea Pinchi
No full textCatalogo della mostra di Andrea Pinchi "L'incommensurabile valore dei ritorni", a cura di Alessandra Bertuzzi, presso il museo civico di Bevagna (PG). Il catalogo, edito da ADD art edizioni, riporta il percorso espositivo che ripercorre la carriera di Andrea Pinchi, artista visuale umbro, attraverso opere che segnano la sua appartenenza al territorio.
La mostra intende infatti esporre quadri e sculture che non hanno mai lasciato l'Umbria, perché presenti in collezioni private e pubbliche locali.
Il richiamo è quello ai legami, vissuti a volte come radici e a volte come catene, che lo spingono a intraprendere un percorso artistico ricco di viaggi e di incommesurabili ritorni.
Le opere di Pinchi dialogano con l'antica collezione permanente del Museo Civico di Bevagna in una conversazione riservata e discreta, caratterizzata da un profondo rispetto per il territorio, ma ugualmente espressiva e potente
Una protesta senza movimento? L’animalismo in Italia e la centralità dell’advocacy individuale
No full textThe article investigates forms of organized interest for animal rights and wellbeing. The field consists in a variegated composition of individual and collective actors, quite different in terms of ideological values and action strategies. The author presents a historical overview of the phenomenon during the twentieth century. However, the main focus of the paper is on the present situation, and specifically on the importance assumed by the personal action frames and individual repertoires of contention. Through an online survey (704 responses) and 20 semi-structured interviews, the author frames animal advocacy within a number of typical characteristics of modernity, and especially the process of individualization. Considering these elements, the forms of protest and advocacy are widespread, while an actual movement identity is in crisis

The individualization of political activism: A reflection on social movements and modernization, starting from the case of Italian animal advocacy
No full textPurpose: The study aims to investigate a relevant topic, but still underestimated by sociological studies: animal advocacy, namely, the organized interest in non-human animals' life, rights and well-being. The Italian case is discussed, with a twofold objective: to highlight the evolution of some repertoires of contention and to use this study to analyze the changes of contemporary collective mobilizations and their relation with the modernization process. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis is based on an online survey (704 responses nationwide), 24 semi-structured interviews with relevant members of groups and associations and a protest event analysis. Furthermore, a vast empirical archive and some academic studies concerning Italian animal advocacy in its historical dimension have been consulted. Findings: The paper underlines the current specificities of Italian animal advocacy, compared to past decades. The great importance assumed by personal action frames and repertoires of contention emerged as characterizing elements. Activism is always more individual and less related to collective organizations: the central role of veganism and of the internet as protest tool is underlined. Both the increasing possibilities offered by better discursive opportunities structure, but also the possible incorporation of more radical frames within consumer market dynamics emerged from the interviews and the survey. Originality/value: The phenomenon of animal advocacy (and, more generally, the activities of contemporary social movements) is contextualized within some typical characteristics of modernity, looking both at structural “opportunities” (e.g.: the diffusion of post-materialist values) and “constraints” (e.g.: veganwashing operations). Based on previous definitions coming from social movements studies and following a debate hosted by this journal, the role of collective organizations and especially the centrality assumed by individual activism is critically analyzed, evaluating the new possibilities, but also the possible negative sides. Not only cultural changes, but also political and legal contexts matter. In this sense, both a focus on Italy and more general reflections on western modernities are proposed, trying to go beyond animal advocacy and reflecting on social movements and collective mobilizations more widely
Dissenso Informato. Pandemia: il dibattito mancato e le alternative possibili
No full textDurante la pandemia – e più di recente anche sul conflitto russo-ucraino – si è assistito a una riduzione del pluralismo informativo e all’espulsione delle voci critiche, fenomeni che hanno pericolosamente spinto il dissenso verso percorsi di radicalizzazione. Il “dibattito mancato” ha impedito una reale discussione su questioni cruciali che riguardano le politiche sanitarie e le loro conseguenze, così come i molteplici intrecci tra medicina, scienza, economia e politica. Tramite analisi rigorose e documentate, questo libro contribuisce ad aprire finalmente un dibattito plurale, per elaborare strumenti utili a orientarsi nel nuovo scenario e per immaginare modalità alternative, inclusive e democratiche, di gestione delle crisi
An experimental study on the transverse vibration of a power transmission belt
No full textIn this paper an experimental study on the transversal vibrations of a rubber flat belt is presented. The aim is to evaluate the influence of the axial velocity on system vibrations and to study the nonlinear system behaviour in resonance conditions. Since the transversal vibration of a non-still surface cannot be measured through classical testing tools such as accelerometers, strain-gauges, etc., the measurements are performed using a laser-Doppler vibrometer. The axial velocity is identified by a simple axially moving string model. Nonlinear vibrations are observed and qualitatively compared with those of a hardening Duffing oscillator. The experimental results are compared to, and explained through, the theoretical and numerical predictions presented in the literature
No Expo Network: a failed mobilization in a post-political frame
No full textIn 2015 Milan hosted the Universal Exposition with the theme ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’. Even if characterized by various scandals and problems, the edition was narrated by the mainstream media as a political and economic success. Critical voices were almost completely obscured by favorable propaganda and the ideas of development and the future proposed by the Expo rhetoric was presented as inevitable, configuring ‘the best of all possible worlds’ in a more general post-political frame. In this profile I first present the main characteristics of the No Expo Network, e.g. the actors that composed it and the main critiques that they advanced. I will then focus on the reasons for its defeat, which is then contextualized in relation to the election of the Chief Executive Officer of Expo 2015 as new Mayor of Milan. Here, we can see the continuation and structural strengthening of the neoliberal politics of Expo2015 beyond the mega event itself
