As many translocal and cross-border traders, mukheristas cover thousands of miles every week to supply urban markets, thus feeding themselves, their families and the cities they connect.
After an intensive field work travelling with mukheristas between Maputo (Mozambique) and Johannesburg (South Africa), the author shows the role of complex hybrid practices of trans-local mobility in shaping cities and territories in sub-saharan Africa.
A "research on the road" to reflect on the political relevance of informal mobile practices in troubled urban societies, but also on new theoretical concepts and empirical research approaches.
In a world where change is extremely rapid and new issues emerge unremittingly, 'Mobile urbanity' opens up new ways of thinking the spatial dimensions and the agency embraced in human mobility
Il Commento a Matteo di Origene
No full textIl volume raccoglie i lavori di studiosi appartenenti al Gruppo Italiano di Ricerca su Origene e la Tradizione Alessandrina relativi al Commento al vangelo di Matteo composto da Origene, studioso alessandrino vissuto tra Alessandria di Egitto e Cesarea di Palestina nella prima metà del III secolo. L'opera esegetica presa in esame risale al 249 d.C. E' una delle ultime opere composte da Origene a Cesarea. Dei 25 libri del testo originale sono giunti a noi otto (dal X al XVII) che coprono il testo evangelico di Matteo da 13,36 a 22,29 e sono integrati fino a 27,66 da un'antica traduzione latina. Origene interpreta questo testo sulla base dei suoi abituali principi ispiratori: neppure uno iota o un apice della Scrittura è privo di significato (CMt XVI,12) e il suo contenuto non è mai univoco, neppure quello dei vangeli, come potrebbe sembrare ai semplici, perché, esaminato con intelligenza, rivela significati profondi, degni del Logos divino, per cui il suo contenuto da corporeo diventa spirituale. Un testo complesso, quello origeniano, che pone svariate problematiche alle quali si cerca di rispondere in questo volume attraverso una serie di saggi di diversa impostazione di ricerca. La curatrice, dopo l'introduzione di M. Simonetti, ha suddiviso il lavoro in quattro sezioni, mettendo in evidenza le direttrici di ricerca: Struttura e genesi letteraria (Saggi di Bossina e Bendinelli), Aspetti filologico-letterari (Saggi di Bastit, Barbàra, Cacciari, Villani, Spuntarelli), Aspetti teologici (Saggi di Lettieri, Pennacchio, Danieli, Noce, Cattaneo), Aspetti esegetici (Saggi di Cocchini, Mazzucco, Barilli, dal Covolo, Scognamiglio, Piscitelli). La lettura del testo preso in esame presenta carattere interdisciplinare che abbraccia filologia, retorica, inquadramento storico-religioso, problematiche dottrinarie e teologiche. L'ampiezza del campo scientifico e la partecipazione di autori appartenenti a Università straniere assicura la più ampia diffusione del volume

Do young people really engage in sustainable behaviors in their lifestyles?
No full textIn recent years, environmental problems have become a serious issue worldwide due to the increasing damage caused by climate change. People’s environmental awareness has grown, and public opinion is now demanding effective action from governments. Young people around the world are playing an important role in this, with the Fridays For Future movement, calling on policymakers to make environmental protection one of their political priorities. Through a survey of 1,975 high school students, this paper aims to contribute to the study of young people’s sustainable behaviors and their awareness to take effective action against environmental degradation, to explore their concerns and opinions about environmental issues, and to find out what ecological practices they are willing to adopt in their daily lives. Data analysis is conducted using tree-based methods to examine the sustainable behaviors and define the key practices that constitute them. The results of classification tree show that sustainable behaviors impact lifestyles, whether through less demanding actions such as turning off the faucet or appliances, or willingness to work as a volunteer, among others. The Random Forest provides us with a ranked list of sustainable behaviors that young people engage in to reduce and stop environmental degradation. The results of this study may be of interest to policy makers who need to plan educational pathways for students from elementary school to university, as environmental culture must be a cornerstone of our society
The Nation Brand Image: Representation of the Identity and Creation of an Image of Places
No full textThe chapter proposes an analysis of the phenomenon of nation branding from the point of view of the attribution of an identity to places and the consequent development of a collective imagination related to them. The starting point for this analysis is a historical excursus concerning the formation of a collective imaginary of places. Nation branding is a recent phenomenon, which takes up the legacy of other historical phenomena to propose an imaginary linked to the identity aspects of a nation, synthesising it in a few graphic signs through a brand. The chapter describes this process of the construction of the identity of a place and its visual expression through a brand image. The analysis is limited to the nation recognizability as a tourism destination and does not take under consideration the nation products and economy. The considerations are supported by the analysis of some emblematic case studies of brand image classified according to their graphic characteristics
SURVEY, STRATIGRAPHY OF THE ELEVATIONS, 3D MODELLING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONSERVATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARKS: THE CASTLE OF AVELLA
No full textThe site of Avella is a precious example of ruined medieval fortification with territorial and landscape values. The width and vulnerability of its masonry remnants require a systematic survey and physical investigation, necessary to any preservation and enhancement strategy planning, so far, not yet extended to the fronts of the fortress and the two walled lines. The understanding of the process, scientifically based, which over time has led the buildings to the present state of fragmentation has the same need. Obtain with expedited methods and customary instruments a photogrammetrically controlled survey, the stratigraphic study of the castle elevations and the processing of a photo-based 3D model is therefore the aim of the paper. Carried out on an interdisciplinary basis, it comes from the extension of the outcomes of a didactic workshop in master’s degree courses in Architectural Survey and Restoration Design, held in 2018. The surveying procedure with the drone proved to be the most suitable, also for the possibility of an expeditious and cheaper measurement phase compared to other surveying methods. The results comprise the fortress georeferenced ortho-photomosaic and its photo-based 3D model, then exported both as a point cloud and a 3D mesh. The workshop also implemented topography and terrestrial photogrammetry procedures, such as to be compared with the previous one
