A question of character : analogy and the empathic life of things
No full textIn recent debates on empathy in various disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, psychopathology, cognitive sciences, neurophysiology, the discussion has focused on empathic experiences within the intersubjective context, either between two individuals or among groups. But this is only one side of the coin. Since ancient times, subject-object and even object-object relationships were described in a way that cultural anthropology has defined as “animation”, that rhetorics has named “personification”, and that we would today call “empathic”. The chapter aims at exploring these objectual implications of empathy. Pinotti particularly criticizes the projective “hydraulic” model of communicating vessels–from subject to object–which builds the hermeneutical mainstream paradigm of any theorization of such relationships. With recourse to alternative theoretical perspectives, such as Gestalt theory of expression, “realistic” phenomenology, and theory of symbolic forms, the author proposes a newfound characterological approach that engages with acknowledging the originary expressive and pathemic character of things in themselves, and therefore in defending the fundamentum in re of objectual empathy

Pedagogie architettoniche. Scuole, didattica, progetto
No full textCittà e architettura sono gli irrinunciabili fondali di tutte le arti. Da sempre il loro intreccio favorisce la lettura di epoche storiche e spazi poiché lo studio dell'una favorisce la comprensione dell'altra. La collana si pone come luogo di confronto di studi e ricerche anche tra loro diverse per metodologie e tematiche, ma distinte per l’originalità e taglio interpretativo, capaci di mettere in evidenza le complessità della storia e della contemporaneità.

Granting more bang for the buck: The heterogeneous effects of firm subsidies
No full textWe estimate the effects of a large program of public investment subsidies targeting Italian firms of different size and age. Investment projects were ranked by numerical scores of project quality and funded until exhaustion of funds. Exploiting this allocation mechanism as an ideal regression discontinuity design, we estimate that subsidies increased investment of marginal firms near the cutoff by 39 percent, and employment by 17 percent over a 6-year period. Smaller firms exhibit higher employment growth upon receiving the subsidy, but larger firms generate more jobs at a lower cost, and younger firms do better than older firms
