  • Music Education in Italian Schools from the Unification to Today
    Musica Docta. Rivista digitale di Pedagogia e Didattica della musica, pp. 91-103 NICOLA BADOLATO - ANNA SCALFARO Bologna MUSIC EDUCATION IN ITALIAN SCHOOLS FROM THE UNIFICATION TO TODAY This paper reviews the main stages in the history of Music Education in Italian schools from the country’s unification to today, providing a critical, reasoned discussion of some of the key themes in ministerial programmes, from 1860 to today. This reconstruction does not make any claim to provide a definitive systematization of, or even only exhaust, such a vast subject in the limited space of an article. More realistically, it aims at showing how both the technically-oriented idea of teaching that was typical of programmes in the first half of the 20 th century, and the lucid-evasive vision that emerged from the “protest” climate of the 1960s and 1970s, have impeded a serious, effective organization of the epistemological status of the discipline, an issue which remains unresolved as of today. 1. 1860 to 1923 The first set of rules produced in a united Italy was introduced by Legge Casati, passed by Royal Decree of the Kingdom of Sardinia on November 13 th , 1859 (no. 3725) and later extended to the Kingdom of Italy. The scope of school programmes is clearly defined by article 315, which lists first of all «religious teaching, reading, writing, basic arithmetic, the Italian language, and the rudiments of the metric system».1 There are no traces of music culture or music practice in the programmes: although they show a markedly cultural approach – less so in female schools, where teaching is reduced and simplified –, they reduce music education to its technical-performing aspects, thereby confining it exclusively to the academies, musical institutions and conservatories disseminated all over the territory.

Definitions of Animal Welfare 24 5. Conclusions 26 References 27 1. INTRODUCTION Consciousness has always been both central to and a stumbling block for animal welfare. On the one hand, the belief that nonhuman animals suffer and feel pain is what draws many people to want to study animal welfare in the first place. Animal welfare is seen as fundamentally different from plant “welfare” or the welfare of works of art precisely because of the widely held belief that animals have feelings and experience emotions in ways that plants or inanimate objectsdhowever valuableddo not (Midgley, 1983; Regan, 1984; Rollin, 1989; Singer, 1975). On the other hand, consciousness is also the most elusive and difficult to study of any biological phenomenon (Blackmore, 2012; Koch, 2004). Even with our own human consciousness, we are still baffled as to how Advances in the Study of Behavior, Volume 47 ISSN 0065-3454 © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
