    Il saggio è dedicato a Le reciproche gelosie, opera pastorale di Alessandro Melani su testo di Bartolomeo Nencini, andata in scena a Siena nel 1677. Dell'opera si mettono in luce i processi di adattamento che l'hanno caratterizzata nell'arco di venti anni per venire incontro alle istanze di riforma poetiche, ai cambiamenti di gusto e di moda musicali, alle necessità degli interpreti, pur mantenendo fissi i punti cardine della drammaturgia definiti dal primo autore. Sono quindi proposti confronti con testi e partiture, in parte finora ignote, di La Clori (Isola Bella, s.d.), Il sospetto senza fondamento (Firenze, 1691), L’Eurillo overo la costanza negl’amori fra’ pastori (Roma, 1697), Il sospetto non ha fondamento o vero la costanza negli amori (Firenze, 1699).The essay is devoted to Le reciproche gelosie, a pastoral opera by Alessandro Melani with a libretto by Bartolomeo Nencini, first staged in Siena in 1677. The paper explores the process of adaptation that shaped the opera over a twenty-year period to align with the demands of poetic reform, shift in musical taste and fashion, and the needs of the performers, while maintaining the key dramaturgical elements established by the original author. The study includes comparisons with texts and scores, some previously unknown, of La Clori (Isola Bella, undated), Il sospetto senza fondamento (Florence, 1691), L'Eurillo overo la costanza negl'amori fra' pastori (Rome, 1697), Il sospetto non ha fondamento o vero la costanza negli amori (Florence, 1699)

    Urban geospatial digital neighborhood areas: urban GeoDNA

    This dissertation examines the dynamics of Urban Geospatial Digital Neighborhood Areas (Urban GeoDNA) and their impacts on local information discovery. It analyzes the demand and supply sides of information from a community perspective to understand how variations in local boundary definitions condition the quantity and quality of informational resources users can discover through digital libraries to plan urban neighborhood environments. Primary data obtained through interviews with bottom-up participants from local Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and libraries are combined with secondary data gathered from a variety of top-down sources including federal, state and city agencies. These datasets are analyzed using a series of Geographic Information System (GIS) processes and results are loaded into a final GeoDNA database developed according to current Geospatial Information and Mapping Policies (GIPMs). Using a selected set of seven neighborhoods in Bronx County, NY, the study integrates top-down and bottom-up boundary definitions to test the role urban GeoDNA plays for discovering local information by online users to conduct community development and environmental planning activities. Specifically, the research compares three different neighborhood boundary versions to assess their effects on the quality and quantity of local information users can discover through digital libraries geospatially. In addition, a group of socio-demographic variables at the census tract level are examined to determine if such boundary variations are related not only to information discoverability but also to the characteristics found within different types of neighborhoods. Finally, the study evaluates the use of combining top-down with bottom-up geospatial information by appending the different neighborhood boundary files gathered for the research and testing their aggregate usability to discover relevant resources with which to conduct planning activities at the local level. Results from the study suggest that, by combining geospatial definitions from top-down and bottom-up sources, new and extended neighborhood boundaries can be created and used to georeference local resources without altering the ranking of materials found through geospatial searches. Therefore, an aggregate boundary approach can be used to enrich the fundamental essence of urban GeoDNA materials to allow users to discover information that carries both geographical and ontological knowledge about local neighborhoods simultaneously. The study also provides insights for community users to become more proactively involved in the dissemination of local knowledge because, by publishing metadata about their studies, reports and other resources with aggregate geospatial definitions, the chances for their discovery are increased. Moreover, the study contributes to the growing body of literature on Public Participatory GIS (PPGIS) by expanding the opportunities community participants have to send local information from the ground up to make them discoverable in a geolibrary environment.Ph.

    Il contributo dell’autore si snoda lungo due versanti: quello relativo all’analisi qualitativa e quello riguardante l’analisi quantitativa che, saldandosi, forniscono uno spaccato sintetico ma efficace della condizione giovanile. Il primo versante esamina i problemi della vita quotidiana con i quali i giovani si confrontano, compresa l’esigenza di trovare un possibile equilibrio tra la voglia di conoscenza e quella di sopravvivenza. Il secondo versante, invece, pone il lettore di fronte ai dati statistici, che richiamano il gravissimo problema della disoccupazione giovanile.The report of the Author goes along two sides: one that is related to the qualitative analysis and the other related to the quantitative analysis that, observed together, provide a concise but effective insight into the condition of youth. The first aspect examines the problems of everyday life with which young people are confronted, including the need to find a balance between the desire for knowledge and that of survival. The second front, instead, puts the reader in the face of statistical data that recall the very serious problem of youth unemployment

    La metropoli, i giovani, la moda: il trionfo dell'immaginario

    The author discusses the role of contemporary “culture of the image,” on the base of the results of qualitative research among Milanese youngsters. General theoretical questions are connected with more specific interpretations of the empirical material. Two themes are particularly highlighted, the ambiguity of images and the paradoxical relation between the pursuit of personal authenticity and the use of images as a medium of communication. This has been the most unexpected datum, the fact that the interviewees not only used clothing as an important mean to express their image but also as a mean to show their authenticity. In the concluding section, the author links her findings with some central themes of the ongoing sociological debate on postmodern reflexivity. It can be argued that, although these young people to a certain extent seem to refuse an involvement in the surrounding society, are in fact totally immersed in it, sharing the main features and the ambivalences of contemporary culture

    This paper presents an analysis of a number of Ask.fm conversations between the author and young writers of hate speech (ages 14-21) who were directly contacted by the author. The youngsters’ reactions differed in that some upheld what they had published while others decided to delete their hate statements. This form of direct contact with young writers can be viewed not only as a case study of virtual ethnography but also as an experiment in educating them to reflect on values and online responsibility. Young online writers are obliged to face an interlocutor and critically reflect on the hate content of their conversations, of which they often seem unaware.Nel contributo si analizzano alcune decine di conversazioni via Ask.fm tra l’autore e giovani (14-21 anni) contattati poiché nei social network avevano preso parte a performances d’odio, inserite dall’autore nel corpus di una ricerca sui razzismi online. Gli esiti sono differenti, da chi rivendica ciò che ha pubblicato a chi decide di cancellare la performance d’odio. Oltre che come caso studio di etnografia virtuale, tale intervento viene proposto come esperimento di educazione alla riflessività e alla responsabilità nel Web per ragazzi posti di fronte a un interlocutore che fa riflettere sul contenuto d’odio delle parole pubblicate, quasi mai percepite come tale dall’autore

    La trasmissione intergenerazionale delle disuguaglianze in Italia: classi sociali e il sostegno dei figli prime fasi della vita lavorativa

    No full text
    Il welfare italiano è caratterizzato da una debole protezione delle persone giovani, particolarmente nel momento della loro transizione dal sistema educativo al mercato del lavoro. Quindi il ruolo della famiglia nel proteggere i giovani che stanno cercando la loro prima occupazione è particolarmente importante, anche alla luce della scarsissima mobilità intergenerazionale che caratterizza il mercato del lavoro. L'articolo mostra che, al netto delle risorse di reddito disponibili, le famiglie delle classi sociali più elevate proteggono meglio i loro figli mentre essi stanno cercando il primo lavoro e che, durante i primi tempi della loro carriera lavorativa, ne promuovono l'indipendenza abitativa attraverso trasferimenti finanziari
