The City and the Ghetto
No full textUrban scholars have pointed out that Venice had developed features which at a very early stage would become a trademark for ideal city planning. The port city which arose around the Doge’s Palazzo was composed of settlements originating on the islands. These separate units were organized around the parish, and soon evolved into autonomous polities which were provided with all the main social and political organs – church, market, charity venues, representative political bodies and government members – resembling the structure of the city’s government. But Venice was also the city which gave birth to the ghetto. This article explores the relationship between some prominent Jewish scholars, Christian presence, and the city in fueling cultural and religious debates
Jewish books and Catholic censorship in XVIII century Italy: unpublished documents from the Archive of the Holy Office
No full textWith this research it would be possible to explore the relationship between Catholic censorship and the Jews in two areas: on the one hand, considering the place of the Church and its institutional role in the context of permitted knowledge, reshaping the boundaries of Catholic orthodoxy; on the other hand, looking at the influence that the control of Jewish texts has exerted in the reorganization and downsizing of Jewish culture in the general Italian context and in the local context of the individual communities (local history). Alongside the control of the expansion of Jewish settlements, confinement in ghettos, professional limitations and conversionist policies, the Church has exercised further regulated the reproduction of Jewish culture precisely through the control of books

Full text linkNew public management (NPM) has dominated the reforms in the higher education sector and the academic discussion on how universities should be governed since the 1980s. Besides, the introduction of accountability and efficiency measures in the form of performance measurement and pay-for-performance scheme, a key debated aspect of NPM is the strengthening of the role of boards and the introduction of a more firm-like governance structure. Much work is still needed to evaluate the implementation of NPM reforms in the university domain, particularly with respect to the internal governance changes. Besides formal rules, perceptions of key actors on their institutional environment play a major role in investigating university governance. This article uses a unique dataset on Italian universities to illustrate the internal governance patterns that emerged after the 2010 reform and critically analyses the differences in the perceptions of rectors and department chairs providing insights for both academic and policymakers
Direttrici e i Direttori di Dipartimento in un’Università in transizione
No full textThe Italian public higher education system was involved in 2010, with Law No. 240, in a reform process inspired by New Public Management, which introduced changes in the governance, i.e., in the decision-making process, at University and Departmental level. The aim of this work is to analyze the Department Chairs’ perceptions on the decision-making process after the reform and on their role. The perceptions of those involved are an excellent indicator of how decision-making processes are made and, in particular, they are better able to account, than the formal written rules, for the power relationships that characterizes governance structures. Besides the new governance, it is also interesting to check whether there are gender differences with regard to the perceptions on governance structures and on Department Chairs’ role depending on whether s/he is a woman or a man. We collect data with a research carried out in 2015 sending a questionnaire to all the Department Chairs of Italian Universities. In general, the decision-making process in the post-reform does not seem to implement a pure model of New Public Management, since verticalization appears contained and checks and balances are consistent. At the same time, the data reveals some interesting (even if limited) gender differences, both in governance structures and in the assessment of Department Chairs’ role
No longer young, not yet old: Biographical uncertainty in the late-adult temporality
No full textABSTRACT. The article explores the pluralization of biographi- cal time perspectives in contemporary transition from adulthood to old age, focusing on the relationship between life-time structur- ing in late adulthood and the different ways in which individuals experience ‘biographical uncertainty’ at psycho-physical, economic and relational levels. Finally, the concept of ‘reflected uncertainty’ is proposed, to analyse the ambiguous effects of young people’s ‘biographical uncertainty’ on late adults’ own perspective. The discussion is supported by the results of qualitative research on Lombard 55–65-year-olds, in light of the Italian situation. KEY WORDS • biographical uncertainty • late adulthood • life transition • time experienc
