Parole chiave
No full textEducazione, socializzazione, formazione dell identità, istruzione. Attorno a queste parole chiave si è sviluppata nel ventesimo secolo una riflessione importante che ha travalicato i confini della pedagogia. Via via che i fenomeni educativi si sono estesi da una élite circoscritta a tutti gli strati sociali, andando a intrecciarsi con più complesse variabili esterne, anche nel pensiero sociologico si è andata raffinando una elaborazione intorno ai perché dell educazione, alla funzione che riveste nella società moderna, agli attori principali del sistema educativo e alle sue tendenze di sviluppo. Questa antologia raccoglie 13 testi raggruppati nei quattro percorsi tematici - che aiutano a ripercorrere le tappe del cammino scientifico in sociologia dell educazione, ponendo a confronto autori classici (dall inizio del Novecento alle prime fasi della scolarizzazione di massa) e contemporanei (dagli anni Settanta in poi) di diverso orientamento: funzionalismo, conflittualismo, interazionismo simbolico, fenomenologia sociale, individualismo metodologico, teoria istituzionalista. Dalla voce degli autori emerge un ampio spaccato degli approcci ai fattori sociali dell educazione, toccando con mano l eredità del secolo passato e la complessità del dibattito attuale su una delle grandi questioni della nostra società. Una esaustiva presentazione delle tematiche e dei testi introduce il lettore alla metodologia dello studio mediante le fonti. Chiude il volume una breve descrizione della vita e delle principali opere di ciascun autore (a cura di D. Langialonga).

Around this key-words an important reflection has been developed during all the Twenty Century, going beyond the pedagogical boarders. The more education has been spread out from a restricted elite to every social group, more the sociology has elaborated a large thinking upon the reasons of education, its functions in modern society, its most signfiicative actors and evaluable trends. This book collects 13 texts – divided in 4 thematic sections – that lead the reader to understand the path of modern sociology of education; it shows classical authors (from early Nineteen century to the mass education time) beside to contemporary authors (from the Seventies to now), form different approaches: functionalists; conflictualists; symbolic interactionists; methodological individualists; and institutional theorists. From the essais rises a wide scenary of the “social factors” in education, showing both the past heritage and the rich current debate on one of the most crucial issue in society. An exhaustive presentation of topics and texts introduces the reader to the study based on sources. At the end of volume is offered a short description of life and books of each author (written by D. Langialonga). Essays by: Simmel G., Parsons T., Berger P.L., Luckmann T., Wrong D.H., Cooley C.H., Mead G.H., Riesman D., Dubar C., Meyer J., Weick K.E., W.Becker H., Platt M.G., Coleman J.

Sternite VIII with conspicuous median strut.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The exact location of “Cerro de Plumas”, the type locality of <i>M. ferrugineus</i> cited by Gorham (1888), is unknown. It may refer to “Cerro de Palmas” in Veracruz, introduced as a correction to “Cerro de Plumas” in a subsequent issue of Biologia Centrali-Americana (Selander & Vaurie 1962). The type locality is certainly in Mexico, which places it far from the species described herein. <i>Mycomystes nigriventris</i> fits well in the genus because it has conspicuously dilated tibiae, an oval body, and a subpentagonal mentum plate, with a rounded outline and very elongate maxillary palpomeres in relation to labial palpomeres. All of these features are uncommon in Neotropical Tritomini and, as discussed below, they may also be found in at least four species of <i>Mycotretus</i>. Based on the original description, <i>Mycotretus misellus</i> Lacordaire is similar to <i>M. nigriventris</i> in the black ventral coloration. The type of <i>M</i>. <i>misellus</i> has not been located by either Alvarenga (1994) or the senior author of the present work. However, we think <i>Mycotretus misellus</i> is not conspecific to <i>M. nigriventris</i> based on the examination of a specimen identified as <i>M. misellus</i> from the Reiche collection, housed in the University Museum of Zoology Cambridge (Camdridge, UK). This specimen fits Lacordaire’s description well in the slightly elongate body and the coarse elytral punctation (features not observed in <i>M. nigriventris</i>). Aside from that, Lacordaire (1842) did not mention dilated tibiae, a conspicuous feature of <i>M. nigriventris</i>.</p> <p> <b>Host fungi.</b> There is a record of four specimens collected in <i>Pleurotus</i> sp.

Barn-Owl painters in St.Peter's in the Vatican, 1604: three mocking poems for Roncalli, Vanni and Passignano (and a note on the breeches-maker)
No full textThe article is organized in two parts.
The first is based on 3 unpublished poems which the author found in a MS in the BL, London. The author dates and edits the texts and demonstrates that they offer a wide range of new information about the patronage, the date and the reception of the three altarpieces by Vanni, Roncalli and Passignano in St.Peter's. The poems are analysed in the light of another MS held in the Archivio Capitolino, Rome, many passages from that MS have been edited as well since they were still unpublished or misreported, and overall misdated in the precedent literature. The comparison between the two MSS shed new light on the habit of writing mocking texts (generally sonnets or epigrams) on works of art in early modern era. The topic has been mostly neglected in the precedent literature. Therefore, the author analyses the texts in the context of other early modern sources.
Being conceived immediately, as soon as a work was shown in public, these texts represent a first-hand account of the reception of works of art in their own time: i.g. one of the sonnet reports a slating comment on Caravaggio which adds a meaningful data to his reception in 1604.
The last part of the article concerns a poem addressed to Domenico Carnevali da Modena (in the same MS at the BL), it has previously been published by J. Shearman but with a wrong date and many mistakes in the transcription. The author provides with a new date in the light of the first restoration of Raphael's Isahia in Saint Augustin. The study shows that the famous nickname "braghettone" could be intended to mock Domenico Carnevali as well
Legal Aspects of the Ethical Principle of Protecting Legitimate Expectations (on the example of South America)
No full textThe principle of legitimate expectations becomes a new limiter of administrative action, further strengthening the legal positions of the subject. The author shows that the principle of legitimate expectations is aimed at protecting the positions of the subject. This doctrine belongs to administrative law and is associated with the ethical principles of morality, loyalty and, above all, good faith. Influenced by the Spanish experience, this is now a widespread approach in South American countries where the doctrine of legitimate expectation is mentioned in administrative procedures. This is particularly relevant predominantly in the context of administrative actions. The author highlights the idea that in South America, legal practice directly points to the principle of good faith as an effective means of preventing a negative attitude towards an individual. The paper analyses the features of the application of this principle in such South American countries as Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru, Bolivia and Uruguay. At the same time, the author notes that there are several factors that affect the operation of the principle, do not depend on normative acts, and may limit the protection of the legal positions of subjects. The most important of these is the process of transition to democracy, which is still ongoing in these countries and is strongly influenced by persistent primary dynamics such as the logic of so-called caudilism, idiosyncratic legal traditions and political practices, and complex and conflicting social, ethical and cultural contexts
Event tree analysis for mountain roads under rockfall hazard
Full text linkRockfall is one of the most hazardous and dangerous landslide phenomena, which can significantly affect mountain roads. To the knowledge of the Author, limited studies focus on the quantitative risk assessment to pedestrians (hikers) and vehicles along mountain little traffic roads. A method tailored to these elements at risk is herein presented and applied to a real case. The calculation method is based on the Event-Tree Analysis, through which all the scenarios which can lead to a fatality or injuries are investigated. An application on a study case in the Italian Alps illustrates the potentialities of the methodology
Alexander of Aphrodisias and De Interpretatione: The Case of the Proposition
No full textThis article considers a passage in Alexander of Aphrodisias' commentary on the Prior Analytics (in APr., 10, 13-28) concerning the definition of irporaut; (premiss or proposition). Its interest lies in the fact that Alexander establishes a very articulated relationship between the defmition of /cookout; that we find in Aristotle's Prior Analytics (24a16-17) and that of arcotpavrixo; kayo; (proposition) in De interpretatione (4, 17a2-3). Nonetheless, the author aims to demonstrate that this relationship is problematic and unnecessary because the definition of /cookout; in Prior Analytics is in fact independent from the definition of eurocavruce; koyoc. However, it is also the author's intention to show why Alexander does this
Education and Citizenship between Decline of Charisma and Need of Educational Anchoring
Full text linkThis essay first discusses the meaning character education can still have
in a late modern society, given the current crisis of definite educational purposes,
particularly of the moral dimension of education. The author goes on to explain
how such a loss of meaning could be traced back to some sort of ‘loss of charisma’
within the educational domain – a hard social fact that has to do both with norms
and values and with teachers’ authority and role. Finally, the essay argues for the
need of ‘anchorage’ by young people, and articulates the way such a need becomes manifest in the process of identity building, particularly in the public sphere
