Introduction. What Challenges for the Future?
No full textThe development of humanity must be rethought by shifting the focus from the traditional elements of competitive advantage to new knowledge-based elements. What matters now is the so-called “knowledge resource”, because the achievement of a benefit comes from the possession of knowledge.
Indeed, to know means: a) to participate in the construction of meanings of social and cultural reality in order to transform it in symbolic representation (by activating knowledge structures); b) to attribute “sense” and “meaning” to events, objects or persons on the basis of knowledge, expectations and assumptions; c) to develop in a complex and dynamic way the information that people can gather and turn them into knowledge.
Every interaction with objects or with humans, every act of communication, implies a transmission of skills and knowledge: an exchange that becomes a process of integration of the differences – understood as collective wealth in which everyone is recognized – without limitations in the learning paths of each person or prejudices on “expert” and “profane” knowledge
Olivo e olio nel bacino mediterraneo dalla Preistoria al Medioevo. Aspetti colturali, produttivi, storici, funzionali
No full textIl percorso progettuale ‘Horizon Europe Seeds Olivo e olio nel bacino mediterraneo dalla Preistoria al Medioevo: aspetti colturali, produttivi, funzionali ’ è concepito in continuità con analoghe proposte – rivolte in primis all’area mediterranea – che hanno mostrato le potenzialità dei dati desumibili dall’analisi della tradizionale produzione olivicolo-olearia nell’ottica della integrazione interdisciplinare e del confronto serrato delle informazioni che ciascuna branca di studio può offrire alla disamina globale della filiera elaicola. In tal senso, il progetto ha inteso avvalersi del contributo di ambiti euristici e diagnostici pertinenti il campo storico-archeologico, agroambientale, archeometrico e geologico-minero/petrografico e ha perseguito obiettivi di conoscenza, tutela, valorizzazione, condivisione della coltura dell’olivo e della cultura dell’olio d’oliva tra passato e presente. Quindi l’opportunità cogente di imbastire una trama proficua di relazioni e di riflessioni entro la comunità scientifica ha suggerito di organizzare un convegno internazionale celebrato dal 15 al 18 maggio 2023, a Bari, e sviluppato in una sessione seminariale e in una tavola rotonda, dei cui esiti salienti questa pubblicazione dà conto.The ‘Horizon Europe Seeds Olive and Oil in the Mediterranean Basin from Prehistory to the Middle Ages: Cultivation, Production, Functional Aspects’ project is conceived in continuity with similar proposals – aimed primarily at the Mediterranean area – which have shown the potential of the data that can be deduced from the analysis of traditional olive-oil production with a view to interdisciplinary integration and close comparison of the information that each branch of study can offer to the global examination of the olive sector. In this sense, the project aimed to make use of the contribution of heuristic and diagnostic fields pertinent to the historical-archaeological, agri-environmental, archaeometrical and geological/mineral/petrographic fields and pursued the objectives of knowledge, protection, valorisation and sharing of olive cultivation and olive oil culture between past and present. Therefore, the compelling opportunity to set up a fruitful web of relations and reflections within the scientific community suggested the organisation of an international conference celebrated from 15 to 18 May 2023, in Bari, and developed into a seminar session and a round table, the salient outcomes of which this publication reports
Elementos de epistemología para el estudio de la solidaridad
No full textThe article proposes to discuss the theme of solidarity by relating it to changes in society, therefore, an overview will be offered of the dynamics and challenges - in relation to solidarity - that evolve due to the continuous changes in society, in a repeating circle. The idea is, therefore, to constitute a reflection on solidarity, using a metatheoretical approach suitable for so-called second-order studies such as the one presented here. The article develops from the problematisation of the definition of this concept, from a brief history of the idea of solidarity to arrive at epistemological aspects for the study of solidarity, which, beyond the individual declinations of it, allows us to explore the processes that take place on different levels (individual, social and cultural) for individuals whenever they interact with other individuals or with structures of society. The results arrived at by this theoretical study highlight the need to take into account the following changes occurring in society (a) the modification of risk maps that leads to the demand for new interventions to meet the renewed system of needs; (b) the emergence of the relationality dimension as an area of social distress; (c) the relativisation of knowledge that is often challenged by the information provided by the mass media; and, finally, (d) the non-linear development of social dynamics and technological transformations, which make it mandatory to update, innovate and modify knowledge to face the continuous challenges of society.El objetivo de este artículo es discutir el tema de la solidaridad en relación a los cambios en la sociedad. En este sentido, por lo tanto, se ofrecerá un panorama de las dinámicas y desafíos que evolucionan debido a los continuos cambios en la sociedad, en un círculo que se repite. Se trata entonces de constituir una reflexión sobre la solidaridad, utilizando un enfoque meta teórico adecuado a los llamados estudios de segundo orden como el que se presenta. El artículo se desarrolla a partir de la problematización de la definición de este concepto, a través de una breve historia de la idea de solidaridad para llegar a los aspectos epistemológicos para el estudio de la solidaridad, que más allá de sus declinaciones individuales, nos permite explorar los procesos que las llevan a cabo y que para los individuos tienen lugar en diferentes niveles (individual, social y cultural) en el momento en que interactúan con otros individuos o con estructuras de la sociedad. Los resultados alcanzados por este estudio teórico resaltan cómo para analizar la solidaridad es necesario tener en cuenta los siguientes cambios que se están produciendo en la sociedad: a) la modificación de los mapas de riesgo que lleva a la solicitud de nuevas intervenciones para satisfacer el renovado sistema de necesidades; b) el surgimiento de la dimensión de la relacionalidad como ámbito de penuria social; c) la relativización del conocimiento, muchas veces cuestionada por la información proporcionada por los medios de comunicación; y, finalmente, d) el desarrollo no lineal de las dinámicas sociales y las transformaciones tecnológicas, que obligan a actualizar, innovar y modificar el conocimiento para enfrentar los continuos desafíos de la sociedad

Culture and Everyday Life in Rela(c)tion
No full textIn a society that is still experiencing the crisis generated by the pandemic due to the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, aggravated also by the conflict in Ukraine, it is necessary to rethink the concept of culture, which must be declined in its factual reality of everyday life, since the cultural system and its elements not only produce relationships (meaningful interactions) but also individual and collective social action, hence the use of the term rela(c)tion in the title. The text proposes to discuss the theme of culture and cultural processes with an innovative slant that takes into account the changes that have occurred in recent years. One thinks, for example, of the great interest in processes that lead to social justice, particularly in the Global South, and the sustainability strongly brought about by Generation Z. The authors, without omitting theoretical insights necessary for understanding the transformation of this concept, will proceed to outline the areas, dimensions and cultural processes that influence the dynamics of everyday life and that in turn influence culture itself. The idea behind this book was to construct a reflection on culture that goes beyond the individual definitions of this concept and allows for the exploration of the processes that take place in contemporary society on different levels (individual, social, and cultural) in the unfolding of individuals' everyday lives. To sum up, the objective pursued is to provide a picture of the dynamics, but at the same time of the future challenges to be faced by the different cultural systems due to the continuous changes in society, without neglecting to highlight what may be the orientations and/or innovative models (sustainability, social justice, democratic culture, etc.) that should be pursued for the construction of a cultural system that favours the peaceful and cohesive existence of differences

La violenza contro le donne: rappresentazioni e pubblicità televisiva
No full textI dati sulla violenza contro le donne sono allarmanti, il fenomeno appare in aumento nonostante resti alto il “numero oscuro” relativo alle mancate denunce. Riguardo a ciò, il quesito che si pone non è relativo solo alle forme e ai modi di prevenire azioni o di assistere le donne, ma se e come le rappresentazioni sociali del femminile prodotte dai media e soprattutto dalla pubblicità possano in qualche modo incitare alla violenza relazionale o favorire la costruzione di un’immagine di donna che troppo spesso da vittima si trasforma in accusata.
La realtà sociale determina il senso e il significato delle azioni e definisce l’esperienza individuando i limiti, i significati e i tipi di interazioni (costruzione del Sé), attraverso la riduzione dell’ambiguità delle informazioni e le differenze del vivere quotidiano: essa rende i significati delle azioni inequivocabili, esplicitando quindi cosa deve essere spiegato e cosa è la spiegazione (effetti e cause). L’ipotesi che si configura è che nella società contemporanea una spiegazione dei comportamenti violenti contro le donne svincolata da una logica strumentale potrebbe, per certi versi, essere più adeguata di una spiegazione costretta nei confini della strumentalità. È necessario, pertanto, riuscire a coniugare i due poli di spiegazione (interpretazione della realtà sociale e condotte individuali), se si vogliono trovare risposte adeguate alla violenza contro le donne che è oramai diventata un’emergenza sociale
