Exploring the Meanings of Community Multimedia Centers in Mozambique: A Social Representation Perspective
Exploring the Meanings of Community Multimedia Centers in Mozambique: A Social Representation Perspective
by Isabella Rega, Sara Vannini, Emanuele Fino, Lorenzo CantoniInformation Technologies & International Development
Vol 9, Issue 4 Winter 2013
AbstractThis article presents extensive research conducted in Mozambique that aims to deeply understand how different social groups understand community multimedia centers (CMCs), which are structures combining a community radio and a telecenter. The social representations theory was adopted to interpret narratives of 231 interviewees from 10 Mozambican provinces. Interviewees included representatives of initiating agencies, local staff members, CMC users (both the radio and telecenter components), users of only the community radio, and community members not using the CMCs. Following the analysis of transcribed interviews, six main clusters were identified, each of them shedding light on a specific understanding of a CMC. These are discussed according to a set of sociodemographic variables. This study suggests that the social representations theory is a valuable framework to provide an integrated view of ICT4D interventions by giving a voice to local perspectives without overlooking the initiating agencies’ expectations.

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.

Switzerland in the eyes of Chinese travellers
The World Tourism Organization has confirmed yesterday that China’s
expenditure on travel abroad reached US$ 102 billion in 2012, making it
the first tourism source market in the world in terms of spending.
Moreover UNWTO estimates that by 2020 there will be 100 million Chinese
tourists traveling around the world. Additionally, Switzerland is a
dream destination for 80% of Chinese youth aged 20 to 45 years. It makes
a great growth opportunity for Swiss tourism and hospitality industry.
The new webatelier.net report by Tu Hu, Nadzeya Kalbaska, Lorenzo Cantoni, is looking at how Switzerland is perceived by Chinese travellers: “A picturesque online representation of Switzerland: a research conducted on Chinese social network Weibo. April 2013.”

Silenzio e ascolto: seminario all'Università della Svizzera italiana
Martedì 9 aprile 2013, ore 17.30
Aula A21, campus di Lugano
Il Consigliere di Stato, direttore del Dipartimento dell'educazione, della cultura e dello sport, sarà il relatore d'onore alla prima lezione del seminario Silenzio e ascolto organizzato dalla Facoltà di scienze della comunicazione dell'USI.
Aula A21, campus di Lugano
Il Consigliere di Stato, direttore del Dipartimento dell'educazione, della cultura e dello sport, sarà il relatore d'onore alla prima lezione del seminario Silenzio e ascolto organizzato dalla Facoltà di scienze della comunicazione dell'USI.
Il
termine “comunicazione”, dopo il periodo dell’entusiasmo a cavallo tra
la fine degli anni Novanta e l’inizio di questo secolo, corre oggi il
rischio di venire frainteso e svilito. Una considerazione riduttiva dei
destinatari come semplici “target” (bersagli) da colpire ha infatti
frenato una più profonda riflessione sulla valenza dell’ascolto,
componente in realtà fondante dell’intero processo comunicativo. Si
tratta di ripensare la comunicazione nel suo significato autentico di
condivisione di un valore – secondo la sua etimologia: communicatio, da cum (con) e munus (valore) –, reinterpretandola quale elemento fondamentale di ogni attività umana e della vita sociale.
La
Facoltà di scienze della comunicazione dell’USI, nell’intento di
superare ogni visione riduttiva e di sottolineare l’importanza
dell’ascolto, ha organizzato un seminario – dedicato agli studenti ma
aperto al pubblico – incentrato sul tema del silenzio e dell’ascolto,
tenuto da quattro professori della Facoltà (Lorenzo Cantoni, Eddo Rigotti, Carlo Ossola, Maurizio Viroli).
