This paper, starting from Gianfrancesco Zanetti's conception of situated vulnerability, deals with the relationship between the symbolic logic of listening and the legal-philosophical problem of the judgement. In particular, the aim of the paper is to show the role played by a judgement, based (or not based) on an appropriate listening, in the construction of a wide range of appearances of the so called "moral stranger". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on Gianfrancesco Zanetti's book, this paper presents a reflection on the relationship between law and sensibility. Specifically, the essay is aimed at showing how "legal devices" actively operate in the construction of our five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch) according to complex mechanisms and strategies. Through several examples, this paper reflects upon the role that the law plays in determining our perceptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A study of the work of Jean-Paul Sartre and of its relevance for contemporary sociology. Following the studies of existential sociology, this work wants to use the category of the practical-inert to analyze the construction of reality. Practicoinert is a notion coined by Sartre in the Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960), outlined the unit of practical activities and material structures. This paper uses this perspective to analyze institutional life, bureaucracies, theoretical construction and rationality in the human sciences. Focusing the analysis in a comparison with Max Weber's perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the variation of the names of the principal characters of the four books constituting the Neapolitan Novel by Italian writer, Elena Ferrante. This variation is essential in the construction of the complex and layered identity of Elena Greco and Raffaella Cerullo. The onomastic stages that the two girls go through, in fifty years of Italian history, highlight their relationship with the various identities, strongly desired or fiercely opposed, which they assume in the course of their lives.

This paper analyses the case of Libya, which under Italo Balbo 's government experiences had an intense construction activity and an extra-urban infrastructure. The most relevant innovation was the construction of the residential rural centers, public and private buildings of different use and the construction of the coastal road which links Libya from east to west. This connection was built in a record time, from the Egyptian border to the Tunisian border. The aim of the projects was of strategic and propagandistic nature, in order to make Libya competitive with other colonial countries of the African coast and in order to realize the great Italian dream of the "fourth shore".

The paper aims to provide food for thought about the declination of the executive design in the context of digital construction processes. To this end, the paper illustrates the first results of a constructive experimentation under way, carried out in the framework of an international research involving the “Eduardo Vittoria” School of Architecture and Design of Ascoli Piceno of the University of Camerino and two Japanese universities (Keio University and Kokushikan University). The experience of “digital construction” of an experimental module, result of the first research step, demonstrates how the digitalization of construction processes implies a re-coding of current design practices. Particularly in the digital construction culture, the variables related to materials and to construction and operational systems of Architecture come into play right from the early design phases. Consequence of this approach is the assumption of a new strategic dimension (as well as instrumental) of the executive design.

This paper aims to show that the place of enunciation influences the production of utterances about the discursive construction of events happening in another society. We take the example of two Belgian writers, Simon Leys and Charles Paron, who lived in Hong Kong and Beijing respectively during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). The places where they lived induced original analyses and isolated them from their social fields, even beyond their ideological positions. We first study their relationship with both the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the discursive productions about it in Europe, and what drove them to write in forms that were unusual to them. We then analyze the conditions of construction of the representations of the revolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The well-known “iron triangle” and its attributes, time, cost and quality has still importance as a framework of basic objectives of construction projects. In practice, construction project managers can optimise time and costs with the well-known time/cost trade-off approach, but quality optimization versus cost and time performances in construction project is usually pursued in a rather intuitive manner based upon Project Manager’s experience. The research behind this paper is proposing a specific approach where three possible estimates for time, cost and quality form starting points for the optimisation of project performance. The estimates are based on characteristic of alternative technical solutions such as possible commercial products to be used or assembled. The effectiveness of various combinations is evaluated with an optimisation procedure based upon Genetic Algorithms. A simple pilot study of a renovation project of two residential apartment is presented to test the proposed approach. The gained results are demonstrating the possibilities of genetic algorithms for such trade off analyses.

Declension of the terms Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in relation to urban development, nowadays offers the opportunity for a new generation of spaces and architectures that interpret construction – dilapidated, neglected worn out or abandoned – as a real resource and hence value. Renewal activities concern new programmes and projects for rethinking uses, meanings and values which existing construction – from the individual building to the neighbourhood – contain and which can change. Indeed, nowadays, a series of design approaches can be acknowledged and consolidated; European best practices which reinterpret renewal projects – including energy regeneration –, not limiting themselves to technological and typological updating of buildings, but also to urban and social implications. The paper proposes to document these advanced reference scenarios, flanked by educational experimentation and research being performed in case studies developed together with Rome’s local building authority (ATER).
