About CICSEC
A cooperation between the School of Economics of the University of Palermo UP and
the Center for Sociological Research and Studies CIES.
The situation in which we live all the
living beings of the Planet challenges human beings to concentrate on the results of our consumption system,
on the connections between emotions, market and state and on the creative ways to investigate this outstanding
features of our present planetary.
The current state of Science in general and of Social Sciences and
Humanities in particular demands a multi-transdisciplinary, complex and critical approach to scientific
practice.
The aforementioned approach drives to mainstream disciplinary traditions and fields from
creative and expressive attitudes and practices that generate and enhance innovation and the use of existing
knowledge.
This transversal attitude implies a systematic work of crossings and frameworks between the
theoretical, epistemological and methodological to provide sustenance for the innovative tasks that are being
carried out.
In these tasks are university students, scientists, and citizens in general concerned
with the flourishing of states of situations that favor individual and collective happiness using the tools of
science and their synergy with the rest of knowledge available in the society.
Consumption is both the
engine of productivity and the reason for the predatory consequences and global risks. The fourth wave of the
expectations revolution underscores the urgency of inquiring about the policies of current sensibilities. The
increasingly evident impacts of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Big Data and Robotics challenge
the application of tools based on creativity/expressiveness that allow capturing the connections /
disconnections between consumption/expectations/sensibilities.
To innovate is to transform tense the
future, to break the paths of knowledge, to explore diagramming new territories. Creating can be understood as
a plot between imagining/connecting/experiencing and creativity as practice, the instance. Expressing involves
communicating individual / collective experiences within the framework of sharing sensibilities and
knowledge.
Within this framework, CICSEC intends to pool the efforts of European and Latin American
institutions that seek to concentrate on the investigation of those instruments, tools and problems that
promote creativity and expressiveness as basic axes for the good life and the improvement of material
conditions. of community life.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
In the context of a multi-transdisciplinary effort marked by innovation, CICSEC proposes:
- To explore the current situation of consumption practices, priority but not exclusively, in the framework of tourism, food and social policies.
- Systematically investigate the scope of the expansion of society 4.0 in the global south, especially in relation to the sensibilities associated with digital work.
- Examine the different scenarios of production, reproduction and circulation of politics of sensibilities in the framework of modifications of the economy 4.0
- Explore the devices and instruments that based on creativity and expressiveness serve to know and intervene the processes of social structuring
- Identify and systematize the problems that demand the creation of designs, management, application and reproduction of research, intervention and innovation strategies.
