The aim of this paper is to analyze the main services that Italian universities offer their students, starting with the essential services to get to those that provide a special care and attention to the educational life of each student. The analysis has been conducted through web browsing and it has allowed to develop an index for the comparison of the universities and their classification according to the services of care and attention reserved for students.

In a world dominated by pluralism and where ‘diversity is reality’, the extension of citizenship ... more In a world dominated by pluralism and where ‘diversity is reality’, the extension of citizenship becomes a hot topic of the conflict of modernity, so much so that many have discussed the possibility of a primacy of human rights on the citizen rights (Walzer, 2014). This theme arouses reflection on the conditioning that the physical and social borders have on processes of identification. If, then, the current political situation is marked by fear, humiliation, hope (Moisi, 2009), the question that arises is this: how is it possible to promote the value of otherness for every human face, recognized as identical and at the same time to pursue the defence of its boundary beyond which the difference arises? To answer may be useful to educate oneself to a practice to emotions, “rediscovering the pervasiveness of different cultural processes […] and the power that these have to model individual interests expressed in social actions” (Colafato, 1998, p. 10).

This new model is being developed as a spontaneous economic phenomenon to meet the challenges generated by the crisis. The object of sharing economy are, in the start experiences, goods, tools, space, services, skills, ideas: from co-working to car-sharing, from co-housing to crowdfunding. Jeremy Rifkin provides authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the ongoing phenomenon when he states that we are witnessing the birth of a new economic paradigm that is shaped by the enormous reduction of marginal costs, generated by the technological infrastructure; a reduction that prefigures a new “participatory economy”, made possible by digital technology, within “freedom of access exceeds the ownership, sustainability supplants consumerism, cooperation ousts competi-tion. An economy where the logic of the d...

Cio sottolinea l'importanza imprescindibile delle reti sociali, territoriali e non, e induce a rivedere i modelli di governance, secondo una chiave di lettura che coinvolge le dinamiche di socializzazione cognitiva e di trasferimento di competenze tra tutti gli attori locali. In questa prospettiva, socializzare intelligenza e conoscenza significa sviluppare azioni positive per la compensazione delle forme di svantaggio sociale, culturale, economico che caratterizzano alcuni territori piu di altri. Il modello della Tripla Elica (Etzkowitz, Leyesdorff, 1995) si presenta come un meccanismo socio-economico, nell'ambito del quale i network relazi...

In questa ridefinizione dell'interazione territorio/soggetti/azioni, i processi dello sviluppo locale vanno esaminati all'interno di una trama di relazioni transcalari che collegano, in maniera non gerarchica, il livello locale ai livelli sovralocali, su basi istituzionali e collettive, in grado di creare dinamiche di intelligenza sociale condivisa. Considerando lo sviluppo locale come un processo di riproduzione ed innova...

Public attention has been directed towards new practices, such as the sharing economy, which expresses the emergence of a real revolution based on the culture of reuse and direct access. Practices, in other words, ‘connoted by the hybridization between formal and informal actions and oriented towards the re-embeddedness of economic exchange’ (Arcidiacono, 2013). Jeremy Rifkin (2014) prefigures a new ‘participatory economy’, made possible by digital technology and within ‘freedom of access exceeds the ownership, sustainability supplants consumerism, cooperation ousts competition. An economy where the logic of the delegation is overcome and all the actors interact and release new resources in order to identify and implement responses to ...
