Per una genealogia weberiana del capitalismo di consumo. Il caso del marketing negli Stati Uniti (1890-1930)
digital

Anno:
2013
Overall explanations for the rise of modern capitalism are usually divided between productivist
thesis which assign causal primacy to the production system and anti-productivistic thesis
which give consumer culture an active role in the process. I claim that a multi-causal approach is
more adequate if we want to better understand the interplay of production and consumption at the origin of modern capitalism; moreover, I suggest that a study of marketing is well fitted for
such a task, since marketing is the link between the production system and the spheres of consumption.
Drawing on the Nietzsche-inspired Weberian genealogical method and following the
path-breaking works on consumer capitalism in America, I delved into a study of the origin and
development of marketing in U.S. between 1890 and 1930 in order to outline a genealogy of consumer
capitalism. This research is the object of my Ph.D. dissertation which I present in the essay.

Prossimità mediate: distanza e responsabilità nella sfera mediale
digital

Anno:

A. MANZATO, Mediated proximities: distance and responsibility in the media sphere
In a more and more globalized world, our relationship with distant others is particularly guaranteed
by media. More specifically, media are the devices through which we connect with images
and narrations of distant suffering. In this context, the question arises of how to react properly
to the suffering, thus approaching a moral dimension in media production and consumption.
The article draws in the first instance from Roger Silverstone’s latest work, Media and morality,
discussing how the space of appearance developed by media, the mediapolis, allows dialogue
and care for the distant other. A proper distance in representation is required, which does not
neutralize difference, nor makes it totally untouchable. Mediapolis has to be the space of hospitality
and polyphony.
Images of suffering, in a moral dimension, must involve a disposition to action that overcomes
emotions through an «acting word». In this sense, the risk of «compassion fatigue» and of
discursive strategies of denial has to be replaced by a personal responsibility as media producers,
audiences and citizens.
Key words: mediapolis, moral dimension in the media, proper distance, spectacle of suffering,
compassion fatigue.

Invecchiare attivamente: nonni e nonne nella società dell’ambivalenza
digital

Anno:

C. OTTAVIANO, Active Aging: Grandparents in the Ambivalence Society
Active Aging, which the European Union has given great importance to for 2012, is a goal
that can be reached even by becoming grandparents.
In a society of an everymore aging population, the number of elders will increase more and more,
while there will be fewer children because of a fall in the birthrate. So, there will be more grandparents
than grandchildren in the near future. One might reconsider the importance of grandparents,
even non biological, and re-thinking their role in our contemporary risk and ambivalence society.
This essay describes (even through output of a quantitative-qualitative fiels research) the new
grandparents, above all the new grandmothers, who belonged to 68’generation, able to imagine a
new way to be young and to be an adult, and maybe even ‘to be with’ their grandchildren. People
who would know how to express their authority not because of their age and their experience,
but through a new way of being educators/mediators who give importance to limits, differences
and ambivalence as resourses.
Key words: Active Aging, Grandparents, Grandchildren, intergenerational bonds, mediation.
