Communication and Common Good
Lorenzo Cantoni, Communication and Common Good, Philosophical News, 6/2013
In this article the close relationship between common good and communication – especially verbal communication – is presented and discussed. Four paths, in particular, are explored to shed light onto this relationship: (i) their common linguistic roots; (ii) language as the very condition for the common good to be discussed; (iii) language as part of the common good; and (iv) language as a powerful image of what the common good is. At the end of the article, (v) a brief reflection on the Allegory of the Good Government by Ambrogio Lorenzetti helps to further clarify the studied connection.

Luxury in Hospitality: an Analysis of Online Reviews of Chinese and Indian Hotels
Luxury tourism has a multiple identity and can be
interpreted from different perspectives. However, understanding the
elements and emotions involved in a luxury tourism experience are
essential to identify guests’ expectations.
The new webatelier.net report by Laura Malinverno, Asta Adukaite and Lorenzo Cantoni, is looking at how travelers comment online about luxury Chinese and Indian hotels: “Luxury in Hospitality: an Analysis of Online Reviews of Chinese and Indian Hotels. April 2013.”
This research is based on the analysis of user-generated contents (UGC) from the Hotel Reviews Website TripAdvisor.com. Reviews written about Chinese and Indian luxury hotels, namely 5*+, were selected to explore elements and perceptions emerging from guests’ comments. 390 reviews were analyzed, 8 dimensions divided into 78 categories were identified as elements of the luxury hotels experience. Moreover, five luxury characteristics, extracted from previous research, were tested to verify this existing structure for the case of luxury tourism. Results showed that luxury concept is a dynamic and changing element in the context of luxury Chinese and Indian hotels, and that UGCs can be a useful tool to understand expectations of prospective guests, and priorities of luxury experiences.
