Anna Paola Quaglia Turin, May 11, 2018 A mia madre Acknowledgment I would like to acknowledge the DIST (Interuniversity Department of Regional and Urban Studies and Planning) at the Polytechnic University of Turin, the School of Public Engagement at The New School and the Departement Architectuur at KU Leuven for their material and intellectual support. I am also deeply thankful to my informants who have been of invaluable help and generosity, as well as the organization that hosted my ethnographic inquiry. A special mention goes to my supervisor, Ugo Rossi. I thank him for his intellectual example, trust, patience and more importantly, for providing me a valuable and symbolic space for learning, where my own research desires have found expression and legitimacy under his guidance. I am also grateful to Stephen J. Collier of The New School for offering me the possibility to participate to the most interesting and challenging course of my (long!) educational career, “Planning and counter-planning”. The effects of the intellectual fervor I encountered at The New School and particularly in their research community, have been positive and long-lasting. A special thought goes to Kea Fiedler and the Public & Urban Policy Doctoral Student Association. I would also like to thank Lisa Björkman of the University of Louisville for her personal and intellectual passionate support. I have received extensive feedbacks, editing and proof-reading support by a group of friends and colleagues which I thank heartily: Noah Allison, Dylan Brady, Samantha Cenere, Katy Gill, Camilla Guadalupi, Alberto Vanolo and i particularly, Laszlo Cseke, Giulia Li Destri Nicosia and Mark Stephens. The help received for the review of this work has been invaluable, personally and intellectually, but it goes without saying that I am solely responsible for the final outcome of this work. I am also grateful to Costanza Guazzo and Alessia Toldo for their understanding, cooperative spirit and for our stimulating research environment. These three beautiful, hard, authentic and “undisciplined” years, count the presence of good friends: Camilla Guadalupi, Samantha Cenere and Cristina Lo Presti (long-life to the “disagios”!), Laszlo Cseke, Manuela Poggiali, Giovanni Pagano, Erika Cristina and Alberto Blasi; Matteo Pizzi, Cecilia Postal and Flavia Pugliese; Gabriele Segre, Cristina Ricardi, Marta Legnaioli, Elisabetta Iorio, Fabrizia Uboldi, Lorenzo Marinone, Chiara Garibotto and Aleksandra Postrigan, Stefania Silvestro, Ignacio Rullanski, the Stephens family, Katy Gill and Ania Stanislawski. I feel I belong when I think of and I am with you all –and it feels good and meaningful (I do not like much grouping but I do not like either to be overly sentimental: each of you knows why I like you or why I don’t). A special thank goes to Giulia Li Destri Nicosia and Giovanni Leghissa, friends and remarkable researchers: our mutual exchanges have been enriching and stimulating to go further in wondering. Also, I would like to express my heart-felt thanks to L.T. for reasons I am unable to say much about, but which she knows and fortunately, she holds in silence. Thanks to my extended family: my grandmother Irene Colombotto, an affective anchor in my mobile geography, my aunt, Giorgina Marengo, my uncle, Giorgio Schiani and my cousin, Elena Schiani. Also, for some memories on mountains and flowers deep rooted in myself, a special thought goes to Liliana Franco. This work is dedicated to my mother Giancarla Marengo whose presence, patience and unconditional love has proven substantially important for choosing to be. Last, but certainly not least, a sincere thank goes also to my father, Vittorio Quaglia and to my brother, Marco Quaglia. ii Summary This study investigates innovation as a discursive field and it aims to answer the following research questions: under what conditions of possibility does the discursive practice “innovation” become subjectively and collectively sensible and meaningful? How does such discourse “speak the truth” to and for the subject? The research explores innovation as a meaningful social fact that, on one side, features ideal and objectified traits as an object of knowledge and, on the other, it socially inscribes itself into reality through spatialization. The analysis problematizes innovation as a social phenomenon that manifests itself in and through spaces –urban, organizational and corporeal, contingently to relational processes and subjective enactments. To answer the research questions, the study performs an analysis of innovation as a discursive field through a genealogical exercise that builds on an ethnographic observation conducted at Core, a startup incubator and co-working space located in Milan. The inquiry moves from the basic consideration that acknowledges as meaningful the relationship between innovation, the city and the urban space at large. Rather than assuming the “city-innovation” nexus as given, the study iii investigates some of the epistemological grounds, ontological properties and features of the rational discourse underlying innovation (Chapter 1). More precisely, this study begins with a problematization of how innovation is commonly thought and represented as requiring specific spatial conditions to thrive, and how a particular configuration of the object “city” is pre-reflexively implied and imagined when the desideratum “innovation” is evoked. Building upon this first genealogical analysis, the “eventualization” of innovation as a discursive practice is then investigated with reference to Milan’s contemporary social space (Chapter 3). In the chapter, particular attention is paid to key policies and initiatives embraced at the local and national governmental levels from 2011 to 2016. Building on the assumption that for a discourse to materialize into a social practice, organizational and corporeal spaces of configuration are needed, the results of the ethnographic investigation are then presented. The organizational spatial rhetoric and pedagogy are analyzed in order to shed light upon the material conditions of the appearance of the discourse of innovation (Chapter 4). Finally, the relational conditions of possibility for innovation to occur are explored, and the experience of being an “innovative” subject is investigated (Chapter 5). This study offers a contribution to critical social theory and research, as well as to human geography, in two ways. On the one hand, it performs a “methodological journey” to show how certain objects of thought e.g. the urban space, the city or innovation– territorialize in institutions, rituals, “banal” gestures, unconscious and pre-reflexive practices through spatial relations. On the other hand, this work sheds light on the rhetoric of innovation by arguing that it corresponds to a new anthropological discourse rather than being a simple expression of historically contingent economic necessities. iv Contents Introduction .....................................................................................................4 Overview of the thesis.............................................................................8 Investigating the “city-innovation” nexus....................................................... 13 1.1 Introduction ........................................................................................ 13 1.2 Making sense of innovation ................................................................ 16 1.3 Approaching the “city-innovation” nexus epistemologically ............... 20 1.4 The city

  • BRUSHES with HISTORY IMAGINATION and INNOVATION in ART EDUCATION HISTORY DATES: NOV 19–22, 2015 RECEPTION: NOV 19, 6-8PM V V V
    BRUSHES WITH HISTORY IMAGINATION AND INNOVATION IN ART EDUCATION HISTORY DATES: NOV 19–22, 2015 RECEPTION: NOV 19, 6-8PM v v v WELCOME TO BRUSHES WITH HISTORY: IMAGINATION AND INNOVATION IN ART EDUCATION HISTORY (BWH) at Teachers College (TC). Our goal is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of ideas, issues, information, and research approaches utilized in the historical investigation of art education within local and global contexts. We will offer opportunities to engage with the rich resources in art education history at TC and beyond, explore more sophisticated approaches and methods of historical research, encourage interest in historical research, and extend the conversation on how meaning is produced in historical research trends and representations. This conference comes two decades after the last academic conference on the history of art education held at The Pennsylvania State University in 1995. TC’s legacy of “firsts” begins with the College itself and focuses on renewing this legacy through TC’s Campaign. This is the first history of art education conference taking place in the 127-year history of the College as well as that of the Program in Art & Art Education. The conference title highlights Imagination and Innovation in Art Education History. On the face of it, acts of imagination and innovation have not always been thought synonymous with our perceptions of history. Enshrined in former documents, statutes, and pronouncements of trained experts, the historical records of TC and art education history, cathedral-like, have seemed carved in stone for all time. Yet the carved gargoyles of personal histories excavated from a widening global context and told in vernaculars as old and varied as history itself challenge us with a new and more complex story that is yet in the making, providing a platform to sustain a vibrant culture of innovation and groundbreaking scholarship at TC.

  • The Center-Right in a Search for Unity and the Re-Emergence of the Neo
    The center-right in a search for unity and the re-emergence of the neo-fascist right Elisabetta De Giorgi a and Filippo Tronconi b aPortugese Institute of International Relations (IPRI), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal; bDepartment of Social and Political Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy ABSTRACT In 2017, the parties of the centre-right camp – Silvio Berlusconi’sForza Italia, Matteo Salvini’s (Northern) League and Giorgia Meloni’sFratelli d’Italia – faced the puzzle of deciding whether to participate in the imminent general elections as allies or as rivals. On the one hand they had partially different aims (especially in relation to the European Union issue) and the problem of choosing the leadership of the alli- ance; on the other, the new electoral system, partially based on single- member districts, forced them to present common candidates in order to maximize their chances of reaching a majority of seats in parliament. In this article, we outline the stages through which the centre-right parties attempted to solve this puzzle over the course of the year, finally reaching an agreement to make a formal electoral alliance. In the final section of the article, we focus on one additional political actor of the right wing: the neo-fascist movements, notably Forza Nuova and CasaPound, which received significant media coverage during 2017. We describe how these movements were able to gain center stage and what this implied for the mainstream centre-right parties. In a way, the year 2017 began for the center-right on January 21 in Koblenz. On that date the leaders of the main extreme right parties in Europe came together in the German city for an event showcasing the visions and political aims that they shared.

  • Classroom Laptops Re-Examined
    The Mosaic A PUBLICATION OF THE HUGH N. BOYD JOURNALISM DIVERSITY WORKSHOP AT MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY IN WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ JULY 27, 2007 Classroom How moved are we? laptops re-examined BY SHARON KIM STAFF WRITER In the fall of 2006, school districts, such as Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, installed laptops in classrooms to facilitate learning and to motivate students. At first, this seemed like a brilliant idea to school administrations: paperless classrooms, instant information and the convenience of cut-and-paste. Brian Kwee, a senior at Bergen County Academies, said, “I think that laptops are useful tools in our school. With these laptops, students can save time with their research.” Because of these advantages, the Pascack Valley High School District launched “1:1 Laptop eLearning Initiative,” a program that gave faculty and students wireless laptops. This four-year project was implemented Marta Paczkowska/Staff Photographer in 2004 to change the way teachers teach A handkerchief is draped over a concert goer’s head at the Live Earth concenrt held at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on July 7. and students learn.
