Special aspects of education
(see
DDC
classification)
|
| Narrative approach |
Rosanna Cima
|
The narrative approach allows the understanding of the knowledge of experience and the investigation of imaginaries (institutional, family, educational, relational) both at individual and group level. It also makes it possible to recognize educational fragility and to modify interpersonal contexts of intervention with families and professionals. |
| Special education and inclusive education |
Angelo Lascioli
|
Development of intervention models for the prevention and educational management of special educational needs;
Analysis of teacher training needs regarding the inclusion of pupils and students with special educational needs;
Development of teaching and educational methodologies for the promotion of learning and for the development of autonomy for students and adults with intellectual disabilities;
Analysis of learning and work contexts for the development and promotion of the processes of inclusion of people with disabilities. |

Theory and practice of education
(see
DDC
classification)
|
| Philosophy of care |
Luigina Mortari
|
Developing a philosophy of care is an answer to the intention to give a theoretical expression to a concept that is fundamental for culture, but scarcely defined: this requests a rigorous theorization. This process is based on the analysis of texts of ancient philosophy and of a part of contemporary philosophy. From a methodological point of view this vision of the philosophy of care prefers the phenomenological method. |
| Philosophy of existence |
Luigina Mortari
|
The elaboration of a theory of the emotional life and of a theory of the ethics of care represents the architecture for a philosophy of existence able to give form to a theory of education faithful to the ontological essence of human life. |

HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY: GENERAL HISTORY

|
| Phenomenological Psychopathology
|
Guido Cusinato
|
Phenomenological psychopathology has gone through the history of the twentieth century in a minority position and on the border between philosophy and psychopathology. In the last few decades it has undergone extensive development by bringing together the interest of numerous psychiatrists and phenomenologists on the relationship between schizophrenia, intercorporeality and the capacity to come into contact with otherness. The studies carried out by Bin Kimura, Wolfgang Blankenburg, Louis Sass and Thomas Fuchs are particularly relevant in this perspective. |

ETHICS
(see
DDC
classification)
|
| Ethics of Harmony |
Giorgio Erle
|
This research field refers to the reflections that – both in the historical and in the contemporary context – have attempted to define the relational and ethical meaning of Harmony, both in a wide cosmological perspective as “universal Harmony” and, more specifically, in an ethical understanding of musical harmony. |
| Ethics and Philosophy of Nature |
Giorgio Erle
|
This research focuses on the relationship between Ethics and Nature, in terms of both an Ethics of relationship and a contemporary philosophical understanding of responsibility. |
| Philosophy of the unconscious. |
Gianluca Solla
|
The Unconscious and the Subjectivation's Forms between word and image. Critical ethics and psychoanalysis. Philosophy and anthropology. |
| Philosophy and Psychoanalysis |
Riccardo Panattoni
|
It is a research field that deals with the mutual implication between the two disciplines, focusing in particular on the structure of subjectivation processes. |
| Theory and history of anthropological philosophy. Theory and history of psychoanalysis. Structuralism and post-structuralism. |
Federico Leoni
|
Philosophical anthropology inherits a vast tradition and a rich series of theoretical options and suggestions for the construction of theory of contemporary subjectivity. During the last decades philosophical anthropology constantly intertwined its trajectory with natural and human sciences, and among the last ones, particularly with structuralist and post-structuralist anthropology and with freudian and lacanian psychoanalysis. |

METAPHYSICS AND ONTOLOGY
(see
DDC
classification)
|
| Phenomenology of emotions and emotional sharing |
Guido Cusinato
|
The phenomenology of emotions is born in Germany at the beginning of the twentieth century. It linked the issues of philosophical anthropology, phenomenology of corporeity, intersubjectivity and the ontogenesis of the person. In the last few decades a broad international debate has occurred over these issues. One of its most significant results is the comprehension of the phenomenon of emotional sharing as a basis for collective intentionality. |
| Caring relationships and phenomenology of otherness |
Guido Cusinato
|
The philosophy of care has a very long tradition that dates back to Plato’s Alcibiades. In the last few decades the need has been felt to reread this tradition by overcoming the self-referential perspective of “cura sui” in the direction of a philosophy of otherness. For these reasons it is preferable to replace the term “care” or “cura sui” with that of “care relationships”. |
|
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
(see
DDC
classification)
|
| Political philosophy and sexuality |
Lorenzo Bernini
|
Political philosophy has always questioned the relationship between politics and sexuality. From 1900 onwards, three theoretical approaches exists that have developped different visions of that relationship, confronting the Freudian concepts of drive, desire, and identification: 1) Freudomarxist theories of sexual liberation, 2) social constructivist theories of sexuality and performative theories of gender, 3) antisocial queer theories. |
| Michel Foucault |
Lorenzo Bernini
|
One of the most influential philosopher of the Twentieth century, Foucault changed our understanding of power by introducing new political cathegories: 'disciplinary power', 'biopolitics', 'apparatus of sexuality'. |

|
| Narrative Medicine |
Cristina Lonardi
|
Co-construction and analysis of illness narratives, with reference to the representation of the subjective experience of illness, the explication of the social meaning of illness experience, and illness as an embodiment of social experience. Analysis of the ways in which people ascribe meaning to the illness experience in which they are involved, entrusting the narrative with the interpretive task of (re)constructing such meanings. These tools can also be used in medical, clinical and nursing research. |
| Cultural and communicative processes in the family environment |
Maria Gabriella Landuzzi
|
The family environment represents a rich and complex space of relationship, characterized by values, specific languages and behaviors, whose knowledge and analysis helps us to understand internal relationships during life cycle and the relationships between families and the broader social context.
|
| Educative processes |
Maria Gabriella Landuzzi
|
The analysis of the educational and training processes allows to describe and interpret the relationships between culture, society and education. In the current social and cultural context, characterized by evident and continuous transformations, this analysis helps to interpret some issues that are particularly relevant both from the theoretical point of view and from the point of view of the professional working in the educational and social field. In this sense, the themes of difference, inequality, respect for values, become keys of interpretation through which to face the context by assuming wider points of view. |
| Health and Quality of Life |
Cristina Lonardi
|
The theme focuses on the social conditions, structures and practices that influence the production of health. Specific objects of research are: the trajectories of interactions between bio-psycho-social systems (disease history, life course, etc.); health structures and decisions (resources-operators, health management, risks and errors); the analysis of health outcomes (subjective patient perceptions, quality of life, patient satisfaction). Special attention will be paid to quality of life in the context of chronic and stigmatizing diseases. |
| Socialization and mediation |
Maria Gabriella Landuzzi
|
Socialization is generically the process by which individuals become social beings and active members within a social context. Analyzing the processes of socialization means to pay attention to the cultural changes that characterize today's western societies; furthermore, it helps to understand how the individual is placed between past and future, creating a sort of bridge, a mediation between what is transmitted to him (languages, values, roles, norms, expectations and beliefs) from previous generations and what he will internalize and lead to future generations.
