Alt(r)o gradimento. Guerrini, la saga di Buttiglione e altri innesti
No full textRappresentante esemplare di una generazione di giovani intellettuali e artisti eclettici, attivi in diversi ambiti dell’industria culturale, Giacomo (Mino) Guerrini uno dei segreti meglio custoditi di sempre della storia del cinema italiano. Guerrini è stato molte cose: oltre che uomo di cinema – i cui film spaziano dalla commedia all’italiana all’horror, dalla spy-story al comico popolare – anche pittore e artista, giornalista e scrittore, autore televisivo e radiofonico. Un uomo di spettacolo e un intellettuale capace di muoversi su più piani e in diversi ambiti, senza mai preoccuparsi di distinguere tra cultura alta e bassa. L'intervento si focalizza in particolare sulla tetralogia di pellicole dedicate al popolare personaggio del Colonnello Buttiglione, ideato da Mario Marenco per la trasmissione radiofonica "Alto gradimento": un primo, sgangherato esempio di intermedialità da valutare tuttavia con un'attenzione che ne metta in luce, insieme agli innumerevoli difetti, gli elementi d'interesse.An exemplary representative of a generation of young, eclectic intellectuals and artists, active in various areas of the cultural industry, Giacomo (Mino) Guerrini was one of the best preserved secrets ever in the history of Italian cinema. Guerrini was many things: besides being a man of cinema - whose films range from Italian comedy to horror, from spy-story to popular comedy - he was also a painter and artist, journalist and writer, television and radio author. A man of show business and an intellectual capable of moving on many levels and in different areas, without ever bothering to distinguish between high and low culture. The essay focuses in particular on the film tetralogy dedicated to the popular character of Colonel Buttiglione, created by Mario Marenco for the radio program "Alto gradimento": a first, ramshackle example of intermediality to be evaluated, however, with an attention that highlights, along with the many flaws, the elements of interest

Il collezionista e il bibliotecario: Ugo Da Como, Paolo Guerrini e la storia della stampa a Brescia
No full textThe paper reconstructs the relationship between Senator Ugo Da Como (1869-1941), a collector, and the priest Paolo Guerrini (1880-1960), a local historian. The sources are mainly documents preserved in the Foundation Ugo Da Como (Lonato del Garda), which offer interesting informations on the making of the personal book collection of Da Como and, more generally, on the history of printing in Brescia. The author further emphasizes a less known aspect of the life of Guerrini, who was a prominent figure in the local antiquarian book trade during the Twenties and the Thirties of the 20th century
Se la salute non ha prezzo, ha però un costo: il percorso del paziente schizofrenico e i relativi costi
No full textil lavoro si incentra sull'identificazione dei costi che si verificano lungo il percorso terapeutico di soggetti accolti in una struttura di riabilitazione psichiatrica caratterizzata da attività labour intensive. L'obiettivo è costruire un modello che possa misurare ex post il costo finale del singolo paziente, determinato secondo una logica per attività, e in prospettiva permettere di identificare un percorso terapeutico economicamente sostenibile. Il metodo utilizzato è quello del caso di studio di tipo longitudinale, che ha portato a coinvolgere il Dipartimento di Salute Mentale della ULSS 13 di Mirano, in Venet
Empathy between Art and Design
No full textThis short essay delineates the art contest in which the notion of empathy developed between the late 19th and the early 20th century. Explores its meaning as the condition that makes intersubjectivity possible in Husserlian Phenomenology, especially in Edith Stein’s interpretation. It provides clues to understand the reasons that brought design culture focusing on empathy from the late 1990s onward. The increase of the participatory approach in design processes puts intersubjectivity – and therefore empathy – at the centre of any design practice.
Since Alice Devecchi, the author of the book in which the essay appears, focuses on empathy or, more precisely, on designing the empathic experience, the text provides comments and clues about the contest, the approach and the outcomes of her work – primarily focusing on the relevance of the arts as a means to increase design knowledge, an approach to research that Devecchi shares with the author, who also was the supervisor of her PhD thesis
Performance measurement system change:a consulting company perspective
No full textThis article explores how consulting companies develop
performance measurement system change (PMSC) through an analysis of the
processes, tools and techniques they adopt and the internal actors involved.
Moreover, it aims to demonstrate the existence of a situational approach in
changing a PMS related to the nature of services provided by each consulting
company. In a multiple case study, the author selected 18 consulting companies
that offer PMSC services and collected data through 36 partially structured
interviews (two managers from each company) and a brainstorming session
with three consultants from different firms. The data were analysed using
cross-case and within case analysis and descriptive statistics
Il catalogo di qualità : che vi sia ciascun lo dice, dove sia, nessun lo sa
No full textQuality is essential in any field of interest and activity (ref. UNI EN ISO 8402:1995 Quality management and quality assurance). What does quality mean in a library catalog? What are the requirements for quality? Quantitative measures are not enough to determine the quality of a catalog. The author proposes ten principles of qualitative analysis: authority control; cataloguing rules; competence and speedness of work; availability of databases and indexes; software and hardware used; clearness and readability of the catalog; reading ability; record functionality; every reader his catalog; maintenance frequency

Notes on Doctoral Research in Design. Contributions from the Politecnico di Milano
No full textThe Politecnico di Milano was among the first universities in Italy to start a PhD programme in Industrial design in 1990. During twenty years the research activity has strengthened the disciplinary core of design, has specified the methodological aspects and theory, while the topics of research were gradually expanded to those new fields that design was embracing, such as sustainability, services and interface design. In 2008 the programme – now PhD in Design – focused its attention on the nature of design, with its aesthetic, formal, performance and meaning values. In this respect the challenge has become to reconsider design activity, notably that related to practice, as the centre of investigation.
The book (edited by the author) collects the first results of this new direction of research. Most of the contributions for the book have been written on the occasion of the PhD Opening Ceremony, held at the Politecnico in March 2010 and focused on the relations between Design and Science.
The essay by the author, entitled “A cultural shift: the role of Italian design in the doctoral programme approach”, briefly summarises a forty-year debate on this topic, focusing its attention on two concepts both defined from mid ’70s onward: that of “wicked problems” as typical of design process (Rittel and Weber, Schön, Buchanan) and that of a “designerly way of thinking”, as an autonomous way of thinking distinct from that of science and the humanities (Archer, Cross).
Following the debate on these concepts, similarities can be recognised among them and some of the main features of Italian tradition, notably that of a “critical” approach to design, a way of thinking that can be invigorated and renewed within a PhD programme
Padri della Chiesa e scrittori ecclesiastici occidentali (secoli II-XIII)
No full textACOLIT is an authority list of catholic authors (persons or corporate bodies) and of liturgical and religious anonymus works. ACOLIT formulates catalogue entries on the basis of RICA, but also takes into account the Norme per il catalogo degli stampati of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, the AACR2R, the Regeln für die alphabetische Katalogisierung (RAK), the Reglas de catalogación, and the recommendations of IFLA. Three volumes have already been published: Bible, Catholic Church, Roman Curia, Papal State, Vatican, Popes and Antipopes (1997); Catholic religious orders (2000); Liturgical works (2003). The fourth volume is devoted to Fathers of the Church and to Western ecclesiastical Writers (II-XIII centuries). Our point of departure for this authority list are the indices in Migne Patrologia Latina, compared with indices of other authoritatives directories paper and on line (p.e., Personennamen des Mittelalters, Bibliotheca sanctorum, BISLAM: Bibliotheca scriptorum Latinorum medii recentiorisque aevi, Dictionnaire d’histoire et de géographie ecclésiastiques, VIAF). The principal lemma is the Italian form according to the language of the catalogue. The principal entry is followed by variants. For the realization of this authority list we, the editors, had to expend considerable energy in the effort to establish homogeneous forms using bibliographical sources and directories: we realize we may not have always succeeded and would be happy to receive suggestion or further information
