No full text“Il racconto digitale. Uso dei metodi creativi per i “futuri di scuola” è un nuovo Quaderno Serie “Strumenti” della Collana Scientifica “I Quaderni delle Piccole Scuole”.
Un Quaderno che esplora l’uso dei metodi creativi per immaginare i futuri di scuola e che viene utilizzato nella sperimentazione nazionale La Scuola come Learning Hub, che INDIRE ha avviato insieme al CNR IRPPS nell’ambito del Piano Nazionale della Ricerca (PNR 2021), attraverso laboratori di immaginazione con scuole della Campania, Liguria e Piemonte, per intercettare le forme possibili di uno scenario proposto già a livello internazionale dall’OCSE.
Il racconto digitale – come sottolineano le esperte Micol Pizzolati e Alberta Giorgi (Università di Bergamo) – è uno strumento per stimolare e valorizzare inventività e creatività perché mette gli studenti nella condizione di elaborare una narrazione in risposta a una domanda generale e al tempo stesso specifica, di apprendere a utilizzare strumenti per narrare e anche di riflettere sui diversi modi attraverso cui si può leggere e analizzare il mondo sociale, nonché sulle diverse forme della narrazione. Il metodo del racconto digitale permette di coniugare la dimensione inventiva e creativa con una rigorosa pratica analitica.
Il Quaderno guida i docenti all’uso del racconto digitale con gli studenti e propone suggestioni, approcci (dalle storie esemplari a quelle insolite), analisi delle componenti (visuali, sonore...) scenari per la scuola, checklist, strutture di storyboard e contingency plan
La acción colectiva de los trabajadores precarios: elaboración simbólica, identidad colectiva, relación con los sindicatos y con la dimensión política. Una comparación entre Italia y España
No full textNegli ultimi anni la crisi economica ha colpito con forza l’intero Sud Europa, esasperando dinamiche di impoverimento e precarizzazione di lungo periodo. In Italia e in Spagna, tra gli altri, si è assistito a mobilitazioni contro la precarietà lavorativa e esistenziale. In questo contributo vengono presi in esame i movimenti contro la precarietà in Italia e in Spagna, allo scopo di analizzarne la genesi, gli sviluppi e le prospettive future. In particolare, il paper si concentra sulle rivendicazioni dei movimenti, l’autorappresentazione, la struttura delle alleanze e le strategie di azione, mettendo in luce i risultati delle proteste e i repertori discorsivi e di azione.In the last years, the economic crisis heavily hit all the Southern European States, exacerbating well rooted dynamics of impoverishment and precarization. In Italy and Spain, among others, social movements against labour and existential precarity developed and took the streets, receiving a high degree of media attention. In this paper we focus on the movements against precarity in Italy and Spain, in order to analyse their genesis, developments, and future opportunities. In particular, the paper focuses on the movements’ claims, their self-representation, the structure of alliances and their strategies of action, highlighting the results of the protests and the repertories of discourse and action.Il lavoro di Alberta Giorgi è stato finanziato dalla Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia [grant number SFRH/BPD/77552/2011]
Inconvenient Truths? Populist Epistemology and the Case of Portugal
No full textFor a long time considered a European exception to its spread, populism in Portugal is rapidly recovering lost ground in both cultural and electoral terms. For example, the populist party Chega is increasingly supported by the population, including members of the public sector such as the police, and populism is slowly normalizing in the Portuguese political debate. In addition, Portugal is a country where conspiracy theories rarely gain traction in the public sphere.
Against this background, and in the frame of the scholarly discussion around populist epistemology, the current chapter analyzes the Facebook page Verdade Inconveniente (Inconvenient Truth), an independent media outlet—then civic movement, with a twofold aim. First, the study explores the inconvenient truths that posters to the page feel the need to convey, highlighting the fields of action and debate that its supporters deem relevant. Second, the analysis details the conception of truth and its relationship with politics and science that emerges in the discussions
Academic Freedom, Science, and Right-Wing Politics: Interview with Andrea Pető
No full textThis chapter explores the relationship between academic freedom, science, and right-wing politics using the example of the recent events around Professor Andrea Pető’s recent publication at Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte which lead to her resignation from the Hungarian Accreditation Committee. It illustrates how illiberal democracies shake the space not only independent media and NGOs but also how they control and pressure public institutions. This chapter locates this individual experience in the complex relationships between populism, extreme-right and epistemic controversies
Water for Life Strategy in Alberta: Changing Priorities in Canadian Water Policy?
No full textWater resources are being stretched to the limit in Alberta and irrigation activities account for more than 70 percent of consumptive water use in the province. Conflicts among users and potential users may be looming. Pollution of surface water and groundwater and outbreaks of water-borne pathogens have been increasing. Freshwater systems are likely to deteriorate further with impending climate change. Following passage of the Alberta Water Act in 1999 and the Irrigation Districts Act in 2000, which allowed limited transfers of water among water users, the Alberta government issued its Water for Life Strategy in late 2003. The strategy’s principal goals include (1) evaluation of the use of economic instruments to manage water demand by 2007; (2) demonstration of best management practices by 2010; and (3) a 30 percent increase in productivity and efficiency over 2005 levels by 2015. This seems to presage a new era in water management in Alberta, but will the necessary changes in water management be forthcoming? This study examines the need for demand-based management and the constraints that make effective changes in water policy problematic. Evidence from a recent study in the St. Mary’s River Irrigation District highlights problems with water markets.Environmental Economics and Policy,
