No full textIl percorso di ricerca presentato è volto a ricostruire per episodi salienti il processo di formazione alla base di architetture teatrali significative del panorama nazionale, per proporre, mettendo a sistema le osservazioni riscontrate, un nuova modalità di lettura dell’oggetto: lo spazio moderno per lo spettacolo, non più inteso come di diretta derivazione classica, bensì come prodotto dell’evoluzione del tessuto delle nostre città.
Ricostruendo analiticamente le vicende a partire dall’origine mobile, temporanea e spesso legata all’occasionalità della festa dei teatri, e tenendo presente la trattatistica coeva, si vuole approdare per fasi alla definizione ragionata dei caratteri del teatro nel e dal palazzo, del teatro come nodo autonomo, alla scala architettonica e urbana, fino ai più recenti sviluppi nel settore, rappresentando in ciascun episodio l’unicità della vicenda italiana e registrando le principali influenze, in ingresso e in uscita, verso il contesto europeo.
Lo studio vuole descrivere, dopo l’ampia cesura con la classicità, sia l’approdo, per così dire, al teatro moderno come edificio, sia l’evoluzione dei suoi caratteri nel
tempo. Lo sviluppo del tema di ricerca si basa su specifici casi di studio, non conservando un ordinamento cronologico tra le epoche ai casi stessi ascrivibili. L’attenzione è focalizzata sul processo, pertanto episodi simili dello stesso si possono riferire a casi individuati in periodi storici diversificati.
Lo studio rimanda metodologicamente a un’interpretazione della progettazione architettonica come strettamente connessa all’individuazione intenzionale e critica dei processi tipologici. Ricavato il processo tipologico dal costruito, l’azione del progettista dovrà essere adeguata al divenire del processo stesso. La lettura del progetto è, equivalentemente ad esso, momento critico essenziale, basata sulla realtà costruita, la cui struttura va di volta in volta riconosciuta nelle sue manifestazioni.
Data pertanto la perfetta parità di lettura e scrittura, l’aspetto esperienziale, sperimentale e di comprensione gioca un ruolo essenziale per la proposizione di una linea interpretativa originale dell’organismo teatrale, che ci si augura di individuare in questa ricerca, e con essa di aprire nuove prospettive
What influences sentiment analysis on social networks: A case study
No full textSentiment analysis, social networks analysis, and social media sensing are becoming important tools to extract meaningful information from text, adopted in several contexts, ranging from social interactions, touristic activities, shopping and e-commerce, to name a few. In particular, the current CoVid-19 quarantine the world is witnessing has shown the potential of such tools as a way to monitor and understand people's mood and feelings, in a time where people are resorting, more than ever, to social networks to engage and communicate with others. Indeed, when performing social network content analysis, privacy is a major concern. On the one hand, privacy issues and international laws and acts drive such analysis (e.g., GDPR), with the aim of protecting persons' privacy and security. On the other hand, these can limit somehow such activities. Hence, a precise and accurate identification of the strategies to adopt should be done to balance privacy issues and sentiment analysis activities. Taking into account the requirements of a Urban Innovation Action project, which is based on the active involvement of citizens, this work aims to describe limitations and potentialities of social networks monitoring and analysis to understand users' mood about the project actions adopted in the city of Ravenna (in Italy) to improve specific districts
A Close Look at Citizen Science Through the HCI Lens: A Systematic Literature Review
No full textIn this paper, we present a systematic literature review of Citizen Science (CS) research projects with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and on the modalities in which CS is employed in this field. The query was conducted in March 2022 and provided us with 929 items, of which 646 were research articles. Through the usage of the PRISMA flow diagram, we included 27 papers in our survey. We aim to depict the state of the art regarding CS projects that are directly supported and explicitly defined by the HCI community. We compared the studies on variables like the field of interest and the impact area. We present the mutual interests of CS and HCI, the tools, and the methods that are employed to address these projects. Eventually, we conclude by pointing out some reflections on the value that can sprout from properly employed CS in HCI research
Editorial: Smart Objects and Technologies
No full textThe journal Mobile Networks and Applications reflects the emerging symbiosis of portable computers and wireless networks, addressing the convergence of mobility, computing and information organization, access and management. In its special issues, the journal places an equal emphasis on various areas of nomadic computing, data management, related software and hardware technologies, and mobile user services, alongside more ‘classical’ topics in wireless and mobile networking. The journal documents practical and theoretical results which make a fundamental contribution
Can 360° VR and customization foster personal connections between tourists and locals? An experiment in the sharing economy and hospitality frame
No full textTourism and hospitality have shown to be one of the pioneering sectors in the sharing economy, taking advantages of a collaborative and peer-to-peer market model. In this context, we present ShareCities, a system that allows tourists to exploit a 360° virtual representation of locals' room, customized to include peculiar details related to the host's life/interests/hobbies. Using ShareCities, locals can publish information about themselves and about what to see and do in their locale, while visitors can browse authentic and unmediated information provided by locals, and use the platform to initiate a conversation with them. To evaluate our approach and verify if 360° VR and customization could foster personal connections and affinity, and, eventually, empathy, we carried out an experiment engaging 19 users, obtaining interesting results
