A case of syphilis in Gustav Klimt’s Medicine? Iconodiagnosis and historical review
Materializing corporate futures
This paper investigates the European Union’s approach to regulating the Metaverse, a corporate-driven digital future introduced by Meta Platforms Inc. in 2021. Through its ‘Initiative on Virtual Worlds,’ the EU envisions a regulatory framework for a ‘third space’ where information, financial transactions, data, and digital identities can flow seamlessly on a global scale. This study reveals that the EU perceives massive corporate-owned dataficati…

Exploring leadership on Instagram
Online visual communication is becoming an established and central component of citizens’ everyday life. User activity on large-scale platforms, such as Instagram, can be mapped by tracing the rise and fall of communities of practice that share different visual languages, aesthetic values and forms of leadership. Accordingly, the present study proposes an analytical model for the identification, measurement, and categorization of leadership on vi…
In search of a global community
This article critically examines UNESCO’s construction of a commons approach to global education through a multivocal analysis of its 2021 report Reimagining our futures together: a new social contract for education. The participating researchers’ “voices” are brought together through dialogue and joint meaning making to critically analyse UNESCO’s promotion of education as a global commons. This is achieved by unpacking how the “we” that this co…
Characterization and Selection of Mortar Samples for Radiocarbon Dating in the Framework of the Modis2 Intercomparison
For several decades, many efforts have been dedicated to enhancing the accuracy of mortar radiocarbon dating and evaluating the reliability of the results concerning the typology of the examined specimens. Several assumptions that are fundamental for the application of the method may be in many cases not fulfilled, such as (a) complete primary limestone dissociation during calcination, (b) efficient separation of geogenic carbon contained in calc…
UK higher education, neoliberal meritocracy, and the culture of the new capitalism
Drawing on empirical data this paper explores how a new articulation of meritocracy has emerged over time in UK Higher Education. To this end, we analyze the five major HE reports produced in the UK over the past 2 decades (1997–2010). The proposed analytical design combines semantic mapping, natural language processing (NLP), and critical discourse analysis to identify the key actors in the sector, the nature of their agency, and changing roles.…
Erasures and equivalences
In 2014, the OECD-PISA’s Governing Board approved the addition of a set of global competence measures to its Programme of Student Assessment. In our paper, we explore whether and how there are discursive shifts between the two framing papers (2016/2018) and what the outcomes are for policy-shaping. To this end, we employ Network Text Analysis to map shifting semantic configurations. We show that (i) the concept of ‘global competence’ is radically…
The Last Italian Petrifier, Francesco Spirito (1885–1962), and His Method of Preservation of Anatomical Specimens
This paper offers to the international community of students of the anatomical sciences a brief biographical and historical sketch of the Italian embalmer Francesco Spirito (1885–1962) and his preservative petrification technique. After describing the formula and method he used, the paper examines the educational role played by his preparations and the research potential they offer
The Making of contemporary papacy
Recent research highlights the growth of alternative religious leadership on a global scale. In response, social media have emerged as platforms to compete for religious primacy. Accordingly, the study asks how is online religious authority constructed, re-affirmed and implemented by religious organizations? We contend that through online means, religious organizations are nowadays working to construct a public image to spark charismatic attracti…
Integrated Dating of the Construction and Restoration of the Modena Cathedral Vaults (Northern Italy)
After the last damaging earthquake in 2012, an anti-seismic reinforcement project of the cathedral of Modena was designed giving us the opportunity to investigate and date the building materials. Radiocarbon ( 14 C), optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), and thermoluminescence (TL) dating techniques were performed on the vaults with the aim to (1) clarify the construction timing, (2) define the history of the restorations, and (3) explore the …
Interdenominational Cooperation in Religious New Media Projects
In the last decade, macro religious institutions have undergone a process of digitalisation that enabled them to incorporate Internet Communication Technologies in their organisational infrastructure. Stemming from digital religion scholarship, the research presented in this paper relate to a study of the philosophy and functioning of an innovative Catholic media enterprise called Christian Media Center (CMC). Based in Israel and the Occupied Pal…
Religious live-streaming
From the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem to the Kaaba of Mecca, many religious sites are webcasting in live-streaming. This study inquires how religious institutions act to shape users’ worldviews and negotiate meanings via live-streaming-mediated communication. Ethnographic fieldwork accompanied a case study of 25 in-depth interviews of the Canção Nova and the Franciscan Order’s recent media operation in the Holy Land. Findings uncovered three facets:…
Detecting the NIR Fingerprint of Colors
Reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis), and near infrared (NIR) range is widely applied to art studies for the characterization of paints and pigments, with the advantages of non-invasive techniques. Isolating and detecting the fingerprint of pigments, especially in the NIR range, is quite challenging, since the presence of vibrational transitions of the most common organic functional groups prevents to relate the optical…
Topological and networked visibility
Today, the convergence of video-based Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs) is challenging centralized control over cultural topologies. Accordingly, this paper proposes a theoretical prism for the analysis of the sociopolitical impact of online audio-visual communication. More precisely, this study discusses how topological visibility (i.e. culture-based, highly centralized and spatially organized visibility structures) and networked visibi…
Online distant witnessing and live-streaming activism
Since its formal approval, the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) project raised public concern about environmental sustainability and security. Thanks to the systematic use of Internet and communication technologies (ICTs), the nonviolent resistance organized by the Sioux tribes of Standing Rock Reservation to oppose the planned construction rapidly attracted public attention. In view of their strategic use of online video-sharing for documentation a…
Mourning for a hacktivist
This study examines the discursive and semantic patterns underpinning the collective mourning activity on the digital memorial for Aaron Swartz (hacker/software developer/activist). More specifically, it questions if and how online mourning for hacktivists might result in a cultural reconfiguration of cyberspace through the grassroots and collective redefinition of the limits of users’ agency. To this end, all the comments present on Swartz’s dig…
Tragedia di un artista di strada. La pratica della cancellazione da eutanasia artistica ad articidio
Questo articolo intende esaminare il significato della pratica di cancellazione dell opera da parte dell artista di strada come reazione ad un tentativo di museificazione. Partendo dal presupposto che la street art abbia, nella sua natura e nella sua storia, un rapporto conflittuale con l'autorità e dialogico con lo spazio urbano, l articolo intende investigare limiti e criticità di tali relazioni. La massiccia opera di cancellazione dei mural…
War against War
Germany 1925: Ernst Friedrich, a young anarchist and anti-militarist activist, publishes one of the first independent books composed only of photographs and captions: War against War! His stated goal is to employ classified pictures of the First World War (WWI) to unmask nationalistic propaganda and expose the false narratives of militaristic rhetoric. Published on the eve of the golden age of photojournalism, this book is the first grassroots at…

Electron paramagnetic resonance of mosaic glasses from the Mediterranean area
Ancient mosaic glass tesserae sampled from archaeological sites located in the Mediterranean area have been analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma‐Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP‐OES). The aim of the research was to understand the role played by 3d transition metals in the optical properties of such samples. In order to better identify the specific effect of the main chromophorous element, modern samples have been prepared in the laboratory by…
