Field rules and bias in random surveys with quota samples : an assessment of CIS surveys

2018

Surveys applying quota sampling in their final step are widely used in opinion and market research all over the world. This is also the case in Spain, where the surveys carried out by CIS (a public institution for sociological research supported by the government) have become a point of reference. The rules used by CIS to select individuals within quotas, however, could be improved as they lead to biases in age distributions. Analysing more than 545,000 responses collected in the 220 monthly barometers conducted between 1997 and 2016 by CIS, we compare the empirical distributions of the barometers with the expected distributions from the sample design and/or target populations. Among other …

Before and after Science. Radcliffe-Brown e la questione dei rapporti tra metodi di ricerca sul campo, etnografia e teoria

2020

Nella prima parte del capitolo, mi occupo del periodo iniziale della carriera di Radcliffe-Brown che precede la pubblicazione, nel 1922, del suo celebre scritto, di carattere programmatico, su I metodi dell’etnologia e dell’antropologia sociale. Questo periodo di formazione è segnato dal rapporto con Haddon e Rivers, dalle due esperienze di ricerca sul campo nelle isole Andamane e tra gli aborigeni australiani, e dalla riflessione critica sul modello di scienza sociale proposto da Durkheim, riguardante in particolare le teorie formulate da quest’ultimo a proposito dei tipi di morfologia sociale e del ruolo di integrazione sociale svolto dalle credenze e dai rituali religiosi nelle “società …

Ricerche a Solunto (2022)

2023

New Investigations at Solunto (2022) ∙ The last fieldwork campaign in Solunto by the University of Palermo, in the sanctuary above the theatre and in the baths near the agora (the North Baths), obtained some relevant results concerning both the building sequences and the architectural configurations. In the sanctuary, a clearer picture is emerging of the oldest layout, dating from the 4th century B.C. (1st phase). After the first reshaping of the street grid and of the urban layout (2nd phase), in the second half of 2nd century B.C., an overall restyling (3rd phase) gave the whole sanctuary area an impressive organization into terraces linked through ramps and stairways. A striking feature,…

Going beyond a conflict of approaches in psychiatric care: the perks of interdisciplinary research

2021

International audience; Our research studied the interactions between mental health care (MHC) professionals and users in French public psychiatry, focusing on the “tools” which professionals use in their interactions with users. We draw a typology of four main "therapeutic styles" in relation to tool use;1- Absence of identifiable tools. Interaction is personalized and improvised. 2- Use of rituals and habits. 3- Use of methods that have otherwise been written and formalized.4- Use of tools, be they written or computerized, protocols guiding the interactions, or strictly standardized tools.The psychologist involved in the research (HH) intends to show how the practice of interdisciplinary …

La ricerca sul campo come extraordinary experience. Una proposta di ricerca multidisciplinare

2010

Reflexive criticism focused its attention on writing texts, neglecting the experience of observation, on which the practice of field research is built, and it rarely paid attention to the experience of researchers. The triple relationship established between the anthropologist, the world and the “other” reveals the deep interrelation between the three levels of this “complex isotopy”. This essay addresses the problem of how a person can interact with another within the ethnographic practice. Ethnographic research doesn’t consist only in dialogues but also in bodily experiences that have a key role in the production of ethnographic representations. Experiential anthropologists believe that w…

Il senso del vivere, ovvero la vita come oggetto di studio antropologico

2017

Si può considerare l’esistenza un campo antropologico a tutti gli effetti? È fuor di luogo parlare di campo – esotizzante o meno che sia – a proposito di esistenza? Quali strumenti teorici utilizzare al fine di cogliere il senso dell’esistenza? In questo saggio, si focalizza l’attenzione sulla nozione di esistenza e sulle componenti che la caratterizzano in relazione ad altre nozioni ugualmente importanti in antropologia quali cultura, esperienza, potere, sapere, etc. Il tentativo è di trovare risposte mettendo a fronte questioni centrali in antropologia in modo non oppositivo bensì per tratti continui e/o discontinui: ‘religione come senso quieto del vivere’ e ‘ribellione ai codici dominan…
