Hot news! CONFRONTING DIGITAL CAPITALISM – TCS Summer School in Como, Italy 4—7 September 2024 The TCS group (Corso di perfezionamento in Teoria Critica della Società) is thrilled to announce that applications for the third edition of Lake Como Summer School in Critical Theory of Society are now open! The theme of the 2024 edition will be "CONFRONTING DIGITAL CAPITALISM" Here's a brief description of what the school will be about: “The spectre of digital capitalism is haunting the world. The so-called “AI boom” of the past few years has now taken centre stage in the public debate, scientific research, and in the political agendas of international institutions. As the Global North seems to have embarked on a relentless journey towards the digital restructuring of our societies, the digital transition has given rise to new problems regarding the societal and political implications of new technologies. Is a new form of digital capitalism emerging from the interplay of digital technology and pre-existing social relations? What is the direct impact of digital technology on human labour? How does this affect our life as a whole? And how is it revolutionising the public sphere? More urgently, what is the role of emancipatory politics in this scenario?” We will talk about all this, and much more, with Gavin Mueller, Rachel O’Dwyer, Tiziano Bonini, Emiliano Treré, Philip Di Salvo, Gala Hernández López. For more information and to apply, visit our website (link below) or email us at criticaltheory@unimib.it https://criticaltheory.it/ share it widely!

The Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, entrusts the security delegation to the former 'Mani Pulite' prosecutor, Francesco Greco. "We will make a map of Rome with codes like hospitals for zones and crimes". "I have just signed a decree that entrusts Francesco Greco, already my collaborator for legality, with the role of my delegate for a reinforced urban security office". Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said this at a press conference at the Campidoglio, explaining the new role given to former Milan prosecutor Francesco Greco, who is already the first citizen's advisor since 2022.   Although this is not a direct responsibility, public order and security are the responsibility of the State, I think it is a duty to get involved in this issue, not to replace the Prefecture and the police, but to create synergy and coordinate all the Capitoline policies, security should be treated in these areas and perceived in its specificity.   In Italy, in Rome, there is no 'Far West', that is, the absence of the rule of law. We want to create a digital map of the problems so that we can go to the prefect and say: 'We could use an extra patrol car there. Then we can send an extra local patrol car, put in better lighting," Gualtieri added.   In the coming days,' he announced, "we will also sign the new protocol for provincial security. We need to have a system of codes, like in hospitals, to catalogue crimes, we want to have a map to locate problems and understand how to do our part, from lighting to attracting business. Systematising the community safety observatories is crucial, we want them to meet regularly every month and give us information on the 300 neighbourhoods. We don't want to chase the news and run back and forth when something happens. We want to prevent it".

Our motorways have peculiarities that make them completely different from those of other large European countries: - they are the oldest: at the end of the Seventies, 85% of the current Italian motorways had already been built; - they have 4 times the number of bridges than the continental average; - it's a complex territory (only 23% of Italy is flat) and exposed to widespread phenomena of instability; - every day 5 million vehicles enter the highway system Our infrastructures therefore require constant monitoring and demanding regenerative maintenance. Thanks to Radio 24 and Massimo De Donato for this in-depth interview on the role of technology and innovation in the management and monitoring of bridges, viaducts and tunnels and on Argo platform. https://lnkd.in/dzdWqqne #Autostrade per l'Italia #MOVYON - Gruppo Autostrade per l'Italia Silvia Zingaropoli Ludovico Bianchi Silvia Felice Lorenzo Rossi David Buggiani

I analyzed the new #adcampaign by Amica Chips. Amica Chips, with its latest ad campaign. was accused of blasphemy. The 30-second ad, which features nuns taking communion with Amica Chips instead of communion wafers, has been met with outrage from some Catholics who believe it is disrespectful to their religion. Religion is a sensitive topic, and using it in advertising can be a risky proposition. However, some #advertisers believe that it can be an effective way to make their ads stand out and get people talking. This is a gamble that some advertisers and agencies are willing to take, even though it could potentially damage their #brandreputation. Not all publicity is good publicity, and this is especially true in the age of social media. One misstep can quickly go #viral and damage your brand reputation. If you are considering using religion in your advertising, make sure that you weigh the risks and benefits carefully. What do you think? #Advertising #Adcampaign

The Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri: 'For the Catholic Jubilee 5G coverage among highest in the world' 'Procedure to enable high level of data monitoring' "We will achieve in Rome one of the highest levels of 5G coverage in the world, which will allow us to connect so many smart applications to 5G networks". This was said by the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, on the eve of the Catholic Jubilee, in a video link to the third forum of The Urban Mobility Council, the mobility think tank promoted by the Unipol Group. For Gualtieri, mobility planning for the Jubilee 'is absolutely necessary. On the other hand, precisely for the Jubilee, we are organising a project, the total outdoor coverage of the city with 5G, using micro-antennas, light poles and metro lines", in an "extremely ambitious public-private plan". "It also involves," continues Gualtieri, "the collection, use and processing of a very large amount of data. Monitoring that can cover both what vehicles do and what people do: traffic sensors, air quality, etc.". According to Gualtieri, "it will be a process that will enable a much higher level of data monitoring that needs to be processed in order to build policies that are also strategic for the day-to-day management of safety. So anything that helps with data collection and monitoring is fundamental'.

In today's marketing landscape, many brands tout themselves as inclusive. But what does inclusivity truly entail? And how does it impact consumer-brand relationships? In this paper published on Journal of Product & Brand Management,  Prof. Raffaele Donvito, Prof. Lia Zarantonello and I examined through three studies the repercussions on consumer-brand relationships when brands fail to be perceived as inclusive. 🤨 🤬 😧 A plethora of negative emotions influences consumers. Driven by sympathy towards marginalized groups, consumers' sentiments tarnish their relationships with brands, leading to adverse reactions. 📰 If you want to read the paper, you can find it at this link: https://lnkd.in/dBU9pBs3 Marketing communication can really shape consumers’ perceptions and behaviours, so let's cultivate a marketing environment that wholeheartedly embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering enduring connections between consumers and brands! 💼💬 Dipartimento di Management - Università di Verona #BrandManagement #DiversityandInclusion #ConsumerInsights

When was the last time you read a company's entire sustainability report? #MeNeither Let's be honest, they can be pretty lengthy and dry at times, but I was pleasantly surprise to see the impact of Digital Sustainability receive its own chapter in Enel Group's new report.

#Research4SocialImpact2024: Looking forward to an interesting annual boot camp where we will reflect on evolution of research methodologies from a wide range of #vantage points. Besides #remembering the #effervescent and affable Prof Pier Paoli Frassinelli who was the #brain child of the Boot Camp, we look at the past, #present and #futures of research #methodologies. In my talk, I will anchor my presentation on the #multisitedness of fieldwork in a volatile, unpredictable, #complex and #ambiguous world. I will #foreground #tentative guidelines, the #temptation of  "going native" in typical #Malinowskian #fashion and #guardrails (ethical compass) in an #environment where institutional ethical codes and boards are moving at a snail pace. Looking forward to sharing the space with my colleagues at the great University of Johannesburg. #CaMExcellence #CAMagnificence
