Between 2010 and 2020 the National Roman Museum - Baths of Diocletian renewed the layout of the Museum of Written Communication of the Romans and the spaces of the monumental complex. In this general revision of its equipment, the use of technologies had a great importance at the service of museum communication to the public. Together with traditional systems (captions and room panels), the technological devices themselves became part of the set-up by integrating and completing the information in order to obtain engaging and effective methodologies.

The relevance of the new social media has emerged with disruption in the current pandemic situation. Not only did civil authorities use social networks to implement the spread of safety measures, but ordinary people have also assumed the dual role of prosumers: consumers and producers of information. A real disinfodemic was born with the proliferation, through the media, of a great quantity of fake news. The article aims to highlight the ethical urgency of media literacy and the serious responsibility of communication professionals, and concludes with the development of new criteria for a renewed communication ethics, starting from a concept of truth understood as discourse ethics.

The sudden arrival of the pandemic, caused by Covid-19, has changed lifestyles and social dynamics. The lockdown, as a measure of containment of the virus, has revealed both how social media represents a great instrument to support social relations, as well as the general unpreparedness of institutions to use them. It follows that the use of social media is also a challenge for the Church and requires her to a pastoral and missionary conversion for the evangelization of the current world, as Pope Francis has repeatedly reiterated. It is therefore necessary to reflect on the contribution that the social networks can make in the pastoral action of the Christian community and, in particular, on the way in which priests and laity can make fruitful use of them.

The covid-19 pandemic has revolutionized the political agenda of most states and sparked public debates that often suggest comparisons with historical events of the past (the World Wars, the Spanish flu epidemic of 1917-1918). Thus, historians can make an essential contribution to our understanding of the contradictions of some of the measures to prevent the contagion and shed light on the public use of history within the construction of a public “narrative” on the coronavirus. In this section Alice Ciulla (Rome) Stefano Bottoni (Florence) and Massimiliano Livi (Trier) will offer different points of view on the representation of the pandemic in public communication and politics.

This study analyzes the many ethical problems that Covid 19 poses: the experience of fragility that seemed far from the existential horizon of the collective whole; the crisis of certainty, most of all of scientific certainty; the explosion of a new liberty of nature that is seen freed from the dominion of man; the conflicts in triage practices with the sickest patients; the communication errors in the transmission of data; the explosion of belief in the "post-truth" of social media rather than in science; the conflict between individual liberty and the social good; a new structure of religiosity, and perhaps even a new and true anthropological turning point.

The free ports of Rijeka and Trieste, along with their surrounding areas from which Ljubljana stood out, were part of a vast network where information was not only collected and exchanged but also created, thereby influencing the state institutions themselves. This article proves that these processes did not fall within the sole free port, but that they acted as a sort of propeller and accelerator in favoring reforms that also impacted the surrounding territory. Beginning with archival documents, the article summates the management of health information and the institutional reforms that derived from it in the 1750s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the Divine Comedy, the word 'talent' equates with 'desire'. Thus, it conveys energy leading to personal, social, political, cultural and religious deviations. Its trajectory may tend downward, ending in utter failure through an existence lived "sub specie aeternitatis" (infernalization). This deviated vector in its stark tragedy takes the shape of retaliation and essence ('damnation'), when no longer stimulated by the fruits/idols of its "operari". Divine mercy provides a middle state, an expectation, a suspension, a halfway time (either cyclic or directional) to those who have accepted the burden of salvation for the "restitutio ad integrum" of freedom and original innocence (Adam). This temporal suspension is not structured "per calendi" (XVI, v. 27) but by duration. The temporary 'attachment' to the starkness of the deviated vector is the 'burden', "lo dolce assenzio" (XXIII, v. 86) of rehabilitation. The (quantic) transition to the higher plane begins when the descent is terminated. The second cantata may be seen as a reflection on current society. However, we could say that the deviations appear characteristic of a progressive section of the vector stripped of desire, where the outcome no longer offsets its tragic, overt truths. Indeed, the lack of planning and confusion within the whole of society does not foretell good hopes for positive change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reflects on the capacity of Dante's Comedy, through its words and images, to permeate cultures of different eras. It may be viewed as more than a central element of culture, and as an open work characterised by fluidity and change. This essay, after examining cinematographic and literature examples, attempts to show the Comedy as an important piece of evolving semantic structure, able to resettle in many generations' imagery, perhaps even to mark the genealogy of western representation. If Dante can be understood as a classic suitable to be examined in several worlds and times, his Purgatory may be viewed as a cantica that gives voice and body to typical features of modernity in its current phase.

The “E.R. Caianiello” Central Library of the University of Salerno preserves many private bibliographic collections. This paper focuses on their valorization through an integrated approach encompassing dissemination, social media communication and research. The dissemination was developed as part of the collaboration to the Wikimedia projects. In particular we created a GLAM working group that enriched Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons with contents and data related to the private collections. As for the communication, after drafting an editorial plan and a social media policy, the social media profiles of the library were used to provide information to the general public about the collections, including the bibliographic description and a link to the biographic article on Wikipedia, using a dedicated hashtag #fondispeciali. The research path included the organization of the conference “Biblioteca di biblioteche”, held on May 26, 2016 and supported by AIB Campania and Wikimedia Italia, which inaugurated a bio-bibliographic exhibition dedicated to the Cilento, Cuomo, Grottanelli and Paparelli collections. The valorization process generated a positive impact in many areas including the production of new referenced contents, the creation of collaborative networks with other cultural institutions and the continuous training of librarians involved in the projects.

This paper wants to reflect on the role of art education in the Italian educational contexts, particularly referring to the proposals designed for younger children. Starting from a quick overview of the evolution of the part of art education in the elementary school (6-10 years) programs designed to understand the underlying educational thinking, the contribution tries to analyze three issues that are currently relevant. The first linked to the connection with the world of contemporary art, with its political reach of communication; the second that analyzes the importance of laboratory experience, in terms of space layout and material predisposition, with its experimental possibilities; the third one focuses on the potential of documentation as a form of metacognitive reflection for both children and adults, educators, service providers, and parents.

Il linguaggio visivo utilizza un lessico di frames fissati nella memoria, strategie combinatorie per unire questi frames in unità significative e una grammatica morfologica che governa la combinazione di immagini sequenziali in espressioni coerenti. Il Visual Storytelling è un processo costitutivo e organizzativo della narrazione attraverso segni visivi che, più del linguaggio verbale, è comprensibile e vicino a una lingua adamitica comune all’umanità. In realtà, similmente a quello verbale e gestuale, il linguaggio visivo non è universale ma presenta un lessico, una grammatica e una morfologia fortemente influenzati dal contesto culturale. Dal confronto sistematico tra i comics euro-statunitensi e i manga giapponesi operato presso il Visual Language Lab diretto nei Paesi Bassi da Neil Cohn emerge che le differenze narrative e comunicative in termini di indipendenza e interdipendenza tra Oriente e Occidente si manifestano non solo nel frame visuale dei fumetti, ma anche negli spot pubblicitari e nei siti web relativamente alla focalizzazione narrativa e al punto di vista.Visual language uses a lexicon of memory frames, combinatorial strategies to create meaningful units combining these frames, and a morphological grammar that governs the sequential images combination in coherent expressions. Visual Storytelling is a process of creation and organization of narration through visual signs, which seems to be more understandable than verbal language. Therefore, it seems to be closer to a sort of ʻadamiticʼ language, that is a common language to people from all countries and cultures. Nevertheless just as spoken language and signs language don’t have an universal manifestation, visual language varies according to the cultural context. From the systematic comparison between Euro-American comics and Japanese manga performed by the Visual Language Lab directed by Neil Cohn in the Netherlands, it emerges that narrative and communicative differences in terms of independence and interdependence between East and West are manifested not only in the visual framework of comics, but also in advertising and websites especially regarding narrative point of view and narrative voices.

Questa sperimentazione ha coinvolto 19 allievi di prima elementare con lo scopo di indagare quali rappresentazioni spontanee scelgono per comunicare a interlocutori diversi uno stimolo proposto in un problema numerico. I dati raccolti hanno offerto un singolare quadro sulla sensibilità dei bambini e sull’utilizzo spontaneo di diversi registri semiotici, tra cui il ricorso a grafici.

Il lavoro propone la narrazione come strumento per comprendere più a fondo i processi di conoscenza, i processi di formazione e quelli psicologici; e lo fa attraverso l’analisi delle descrizioni narrative delle azioni e il loro contesto, delle regole, delle credenze e delle motivazioni che stanno alla base delle esperienze delle persone. Qui daremo spazio al contesto educativo e a quello formativo seguendo una chiave di lettura di psicologia culturale.

The paper's central focus is on the usefulness or not of taking established and well-tried and tested models of training into cultures with different social, political and clinical attitudes. Beginning with the author's description of necessary changes introduced to ensure the revival of her own institute, the Society of Analytical Psychology, the author goes on to explore issues relevant to different aspects of training in countries where the IAAP runs its own training, known as the 'Router Programmes'. Here, analysts, teachers and supervisors visiting other cultures to offer their expertise may experience clashes in their views about the nature of the analytic attitude, not only with those they train but also amongst themselves.

The author explains some brief reflections taken from the reworking made as "internal" observer in the context of an Asvegra day reserved to the members and focused on the transformations of the institutional and organisational structure of COIRAG. The writing underline the evolutionary scope of the steps under way, taking into consideration what has been experienced "there and then" but necessarily placing itself on another level, which concerns the possibility of traveling in the delicate boundaries among inside and outside, with the aim of making a good link between thought and communication.

Assertiveness has been gaining attention in the research studies in vocational and higher education and in managerial processes. The aim of this study was to examine a relationship between the level of assertiveness and willingness to work in a team, and research to what extent the level of assertiveness can predict the attitudes towards teamwork. The Scale of Assertiveness and a Scale of Attitudes towards Teamwork were applied to the sample of 284 respondents. The results suggest that individuals with higher scores on the Scale of Assertiveness have more positive attitudes towards teamwork, and what is significant is that the research confirmed that individual behaviour in a team structured environment can be improved through personal assertiveness development.

In this article I will try to emphasize the importance and significance of the terms communication and communion, analyzing the conceptual framework (definition, etymology, evolution and meaning of the terms, particularities, process and forms of communication, structural elements and functions of language in the act of communication) and the theological perspective (the primary language, the Tower of Babel and the descent of the Holy Spirit -- from the separation by words to reunification through the Holy Spirit, communication -- something more than the transmission of a message: interpersonal experience).
