Shared language, diverging genetic histories: high-resolution analysis of Y-chromosome variability in Calabrian and Sicilian Arbereshe.
2015
The relationship between genetic and linguistic diversification in human populations has been often explored to interpret some specific issues in human history. The Albanian-speaking minorities of Sicily and Southern Italy (Arbereshe) constitute an important portion of the ethnolinguistic variability of Italy. Their linguistic isolation from neighboring Italian populations and their documented migration history, make such minorities particularly effective for investigating the interplay between cultural, geographic and historical factors. Nevertheless, the extent of Arbereshe genetic relationships with the Balkan homeland and the Italian recipient populations has been only partially investi…
Assessing the Performance of the Italian Translations of Modified MEIM, EIS and FESM Scales to Measure Ethnic Identity: A Case Study
2023
Measuring the ethnic identity of linguistic minorities is a research problem which can be tackled departing from a clear operational definition of the construct. This paper will present the performance of the Italian translations of various scales widely used in the relevant literature, which have been modified for the aims of this study and used in research conducted in 2016 in the ArberesheMunicipalities of Piana degli Albanesi and Santa Cristina Gela (Province of Palermo). These scales consist of modifications of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), Ethnic Identity Scale (EIS) and Familial Ethnic Socialization Measure (FESM). The psychometric properties were analysed for all th…
Francesco Solano dhe studimet arbëreshe gjatë gjysmës së dytë të shek. XX
2020
Francesco Solano është një nga autorët dhe studiuesit kryesorë arbëreshë të gjysmës së dytë të shek. XX, vepra e të cilit ushtroi një ndikim vendimtar në zhvillimet e mëtejshme të albanologjisë në Itali. Kjo kumtesë synon të vërë në pah dhe të sintetizojë karakteristikat kryesore të kontributit të shumëfishtë të Solanos në lëmenjtë e dialektologjisë arbëreshe, të filologjisë, të letërsisë arbëreshe dhe të mësimdhëniessë shqipes në mjedisin arbëresh. Francesco Solano è stato un eminente studioso italo-albanese della seconda metà del XX sec., la cui opera esercitò un influsso decisivo sugli sviluppi ulteriori dell'albanologia in Italia. L'articolo intende evidenziare e sintetizzare le caratte…
Luca Matranga e il suo tempo storico
2021
This volume collects the proceedings of the XXX International Conference of Albanology organized by the Department of Cultures and Society and held on 5 and 6 May 2019 in Palermo and in the two Sicilian Albanian communities of Piana degli Albanesi and Santa Cristina Gela. The meeting was wanted both to inaugurate the Departmental Laboratory of Albanology on the occasion of the fourth centenary of the death of the author of the first book in Arbëresh, Luca Matranga (18 January 1569 - 6 May 1619), and to deepen the knowledge of a complex period of the cultural history of the Albanians, both of those who for centuries settled in southern Italy and of the others who reside on the eastern shores…
