A Florentine family in crisis: the Strozzi in the fifteenth century.
No full textPhDIn 1434 the Strozzi lineage had held a leading position in
Florentine society and government for at least one hundred and fifty
years, and was one of the largest and wealthiest of the city's
patrician lineages. The records of the catasto of 1427 and of the
scrutiny of 1433 are used to give a profile of the dominant social,
economic and political position of the Strozzi before the advent of
Medicean dominance. Their record of electoral success, and the
political and cultural leadership of influential and respected men
such as Palla di Nofri and Matteo di Simone, with other factors, put
the Strozzi amongst the greatest enemies of the victorious Medicean
regime of late 1434. The effects of political opposition and exile
on the lineage are examined both directly, through records of office-holding,
and indirectly through such indicators as marriage alliances
and household wealth. The two most prominent lines of the Strozzi
were exiled after 1434. Palla di Nofri's life and preoccupations in
his Paduan exile are examined, together with the lives of his sons;
none of these Strozzi ever returned to Florence, pursued as they were
by the enmity of the Medicean regime. The very different careers of
Filippo di Matteo and his brother Lorenzo are also examined: how they
succeeded in founding a lucrative bank in Naples, and in returning to
Florence to 'rebuild' (rifare) the position of the Strozzi lineage
there. The final decades of the century saw the Strozzi in an
economically more secure position, due substantially to the efforts
of Filippo. Except for a very small number of its members admitted
into the regime, most of the lineage is here shown to have remained
excluded from significant political office until after the fall of
the Medici regime in 1494

During the last twenty years, the knowledge of Lepontic and of Italian Gaulish has been notably enriched by very important finds, and also by numerous studies. The author proposes a synthesis of all new linguistical and cultural data provided by epigraphy in this particular resort.Dans les vingt dernières années la connaissance du lépontique et du gaulois d’Italie a été notablement enrichie par certaines trouvailles fort importantes ainsi que par de nombreuses études.

ITALIANO. Una piccola sequenza da un episodio della serie televisiva Mad Men in cui la relazione sensoriale emozionale tra lo spettatore e un corpo in movimento, precisamente un corpo danzante, è l’oggetto di questo articolo, che intende così verificare la cosiddetta naturalizzazione della fenomenologia e del corpo vissuto operata dalle scienze cognitive applicate agli studi visuali. L’autore mostra anche i rapporti tra la cosiddetta simulazione incarnata e una memoria simbolica e iconografica profonda, e discute in particolare la polarità tra proiezione e introiezione, attività e passività nell’esperienza empatica delle immagini in movimento.A short filmic example from the AMC's award-winning series Mad Men in which the sensorial and emotional relationship between the spectator and a moving body, i.e., a dancing body, is explicitly put into play. The essay wants to deal with the so called naturalization of phenomenology and of the living body, trained by the cognitive sciences reading the visuality. The author shows the relationship between the so called ‘embodied Simulation’ and a symbolic and iconographic deep memory of the pictures, and he gives an in-depth attention to the polarity between projections and introjections, activity and passivity of the spectator’s body during the empathic experience of the moving pictures
Multiple political geographies
No full textThis chapter delves into the multifaceted realm of political geography within the context of the journal Political Geography. The author, who has held various editorial positions within the journal, navigates the intricate terrain of diversity and inclusion, exploring the challenges posed by linguistic and cultural biases inherent in academic publishing. The chapter critically examines efforts to mitigate barriers and broaden the scope of political geography, questioning the adequacy of current approaches. Through a reflective analysis, the author elucidates the complex dynamics of political geography as a subdiscipline, shedding light on both the impediments and possibilities it offers to researchers and students
The Complementary Effect of Organizational Practices and Workers’ Level of Education
No full textThis paper investigates how rms' productivity is a ected by the relationship between organiza- tional practices and workers' level of education. Using rm-level panel data covering the period 2002 to 2008, I estimate complementarities among workers' level of education and a large set of organizational practices aggregated into three domains: decentralization, incentive pay, and work design where work design comprises job rotation and teamwork. I consider workers with four lev- els of education: no post-compulsory education, upper-secondary vocational education and train- ing, tertiary vocational education, and tertiary academic education. The results indicate that the complementarity between education and the extent of rms' decentralization is higher for tertiary- educated workers. In contrast, the estimations reveal no complementarity between incentive pay and higher levels of workers' education. Furthermore, complementarity exists between work design and tertiary-educated workers, especially workers with a tertiary vocational education. Finally, the estimations using an aggregate measure of organization suggest complementarities across organiza- tional practices

The Great Recession and the Working Conditions of Youth: A Descriptive Analysis of the European Labour Market. Third Release of the KOF Youth Labour Market Index
No full textHow did the youth labour market situation evolve between 2012 and 2013? Second release of the KOF Youth Labour Market Index
Get PDFThe KOF Youth Labour Market Index (KOF YLMI) describes the youth situation on the labour market with a multidimensional approach. Not only labour market status matter, but also working conditions, provided education and the ease of entry into the labour market is considered. Switzerland achieved in 2013 an index score of 5.66. That is a slight increase compared to the last publication of the KOF YLMI. The EU28 average was 4.60. However, while Switzerland still has the highest KOF YLMI, the labour market situation in Denmark, Germany and Austria has improved more than in Switzerland, thereby reducing the lead of Switzerland. Unfortunately, the change in the KOF YLMI shows that the youth labour market situation has deteriorated further in Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain
