R-EM. Rivista internazionale di studi su Eugenio Montale, 2021

Lo spoglio degli articoli rivela come Montale individui nel genere teatrale i segni di un processo di progressiva perdita di centralità della parola a favore della trovata tecnica, descrivendo una
parabola che mira a portare le arti a una soglia di facile comunicazione con il pubblico. Nella prospettiva montaliana, la drammaturgia moderna si dibatte entro i limiti di un’inconciliabile contrapposizione tra «vitalità scenica» e «vitalità poetica», in forza di cui ciascun termine finisce necessariamente per comportare la mortificazione dell’altro.
Between 1945 and 1946 Eugenio Montale edited a theatre criticism column for the Florentine newspaper “La Nazione del Popolo”, in which he reviewed a total of seven shows staged at Pergola Theatre in Florence. In these articles Montale pointed out how modern drama was affected by a progressive loss of poetic centrality in favor of technicalities, this way bringing the arts to a threshold of easy communication with the audience. From his perspective, modern dramaturgy struggles within the limits of an
irreconcilable contrast between «scenic vitality» and «poetic vitality», whereby each term necessarily ends up entailing the mortification of the other.

Il contributo intende analizzare la dimensione spaziale dei fenomeni di polarizzazione e marginalizzazione che emergono all'interno del contesto della città di Milano, ricostruendone la geografia urbana ed evidenziandone in particolare l'articolazione lungo il gradiente centro-periferia.

Il contributo intende evidenziare alcuni trend emersi durante il lockdown e il loro possibile impatto nella definizione di una nuova fisionomia urbana: l’adozione su larga scala dello smart working; il successo crescente dell’e-commerce; l’affiorare di nuove esigenze e criticità legate al tema dell’abitare; la richiesta di soluzioni innovative per la logistica urbana delle merci.
The pandemic crisis has deeply affected our everyday life, redefining the concept and functional articulation of urban places as a result of remotization of many activities (work, school, shopping, leisure). This paper aims to highlight some trends emerged during the lockdown and their possible impact in the definition of a new urban set: the spreading of smart working; the growing use of e-commerce; the outbreak of new needs and problems related to housing, as well as the demand for innovative solutions in urban logistics.

L’analisi della distribuzione del reddito a Milano consente di cogliere importanti segnali in questa direzione, evidenziando una tendenza a una sempre più marcata divaricazione tra ricchi e poveri all'interno della stratigrafia sociale urbana. Nel capoluogo ambrosiano, infatti, quasi il 40% della ricchezza è concentrato nelle mani di meno dell’8% della popolazione. Occorre non sottovalutare i pericoli insiti in questa dinamica, se si vuole assicurare una crescita duratura e il più possibile inclusiva.
Modern global cities are increasingly exposed to the risks of social polarization. Analyzing the shares of income in the city of Milan offers some proof for this trend. In Milan, indeed, almost 40% of income is concentrated in the hands of less than 8% of population. A sustainable and inclusive growth requires not to understate such issue.

Alla base di questo ritardo si trovano sia fattori culturali che sociali. Tuttavia, negli ultimi anni sono stati osservati alcuni cambiamenti in questa tendenza, portando Milano a essere una delle migliori aree in Italia per il tasso di imprenditoria femminile. Anche la partecipazione delle donne all'interno degli organi di governo aziendale è aumentata, mentre il divario retributivo di genere rimane ancora ampio e svantaggioso per le lavoratrici nella maggior parte dei settori economici.
Women's integration in italian labour market is still weak and unsatisfactory. At the roots of this backwardness lie both cultural and social factors. Nevertheless, last years have witnessed some changes in this trend, leading Milan to be one of the best areas in Italy for female enterpreneurship rate. Even women's partecipation in corporate governance has increased, whereas gender pay gap still remains wide and disadvantageous for female workers in most economic fields.
