Embracing diverse worldviews to share planet Earth
2019
Leading societies toward a more sustainable, equitably shared, and environmentally just future requires elevating and strengthening conversations on the nonmaterial and perhaps unquantifiable values of nonhuman nature to humanity. Debates among conservationists relating to the appropriateness of valuing ecosystems in terms of their human utility have eclipsed the more important and impactful task of expressing conservation concerns in terms that are meaningful to diverse stakeholders. We considered the wide global diversity of perspectives on the biosocial complex-the relationships and interactions between all living species on Earth-and argue that humanity's best chance for effective conse…
The Divorce allowance in Italy, between Rules and Principles
2019
Italian law gives the right to a maintenance allowance to the spouse who does not have ?mezzi adeguati?. The assumption consisting in the ?mancanza di mezzi adeguati?, originally understood by the Joint Sections of the Italian Cassation of 1990 as a lack of resources to maintain the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage, was understood by the Court of Cassation in 2017 as a lack of resources of guaranteeing independence or economic self-sufficiency. In the essay, the author shares this new approach and clarifies that the new interpretation is consistent with the principles and values of the Italian legal system. The author therefore offers arguments to support this new interpretati…
Community dimensions and emotions in the era of COVID-19
2021
Abstract Following an ecological perspective, reactions to a disaster—such as the COVID‐19 pandemic—should be analysed in the interdependence between individual and community dimensions. The present study aims to analyse individual emotional dimensions (anxiety, joy, fear or depressive feelings) and their community dimensions (connectedness, emotional sharing and solidarity) with a longitudinal approach among university students from Italian universities. Participants were 746 university students at t1 (during the lockdown) and 361 at t2 (after the lockdown) recruited in six Italian universities from different areas of Italy. Comparing emotional dimensions in the two times, t2 is characteri…
La giustizia valore supremo presso i Greci?
2020
Nella Grecia antica, la giustizia (il limitarsi passivamente a non fare il male e a rispettare i diritti altrui) è certamente un valore necessario ma spesso non è riconosciuto come valore sufficiente per la vita nella polis. Per tutta una linea di pensiero alla giustizia bisogna aggiungere, come integrazione indispensabile, la virtù attiva del curarsi degli altri. Altrimenti, si avrà un’aggregazione associativa, una somma di individui che si limitano a trattenersi dal compiere ingiustizia ma non si avrà comunità umana, che è solidarietà, ovvero aidós e philía, rispetto e amicizia In ancient Greece, justice (limiting oneself passively to respect the rights of others) is certainly a necessary…

?Contratti di soggiorno? e COVID-19. Parte prima. Nel periodo emergenziale.
2020
This paper analyses the destiny of ?sojourn contracts? (?contratti di soggiorno?) entered into prior to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, for services to be enjoyed during the emergency period. The work focuses, in particular, on the analysis of the emergency provisions introduced by the Italian legislator in favour of the tourism sector, by allowing professionals operating in the tourism sector to postpone the timing of the sojourn by issuing a voucher to be used in one year following the issuance date as an alternative to the reimbursement of any payment made prior to the emergency periods solutions in conformity with the principles of solidarity adopted in order to balance and sa…
Politics of solidarity in the context of European heritage : The cases of the European Solidarity Centre and Hambach Castle
2019
This article explores the politics of solidarity in the framework of constructing a common cultural heritage of the European Union. The politics of solidarity stems from the notion of solidarity embedded to European heritage. We use critical heritage studies as a theoretical approach that understands heritage as an inherently dissonant social construct, produced by various actors according to political, economic and social interests. The study analyses empirical data from the European Heritage Label (EHL), a flagship heritage action of the EU that communicates shared values and a sense of identification to European citizens. Our empirical data includes ethnographic observation as well as in…
Taylor on Solidarity
2009
After characterizing Taylor’s general approach to the problems of solidarity, we distinguish and reconstruct three contexts of solidarity in which this approach is developed: the civic, the socio-economic, and the moral. We argue that Taylor’s distinctive move in each of these contexts of solidarity is to claim that the relationship at stake poses normatively justified demands, which are motivationally demanding, but insufficiently motivating on their own. On Taylor’s conception, we need some understanding of extra motivational sources which explain why people do (or would) live up to the exacting demands. Taylor accepts that our self-understanding as members of either particular communiti…
Temporality in cosmopolitan solidarity : Archival activism and participatory documentary film as mediated witnessing of suffering at Europe’s borders
2019
This article develops and extends the idea of cosmopolitan solidarity to temporality through a case study of archival activism and participatory film-making. It examines mediated witnessing within the Italian online audiovisual archive Archivio delle memorie migranti, which documents and archives the experiences of contemporary migrants in Italy. The moral basis of Archivio delle memorie migranti is cosmopolitan solidarity, which is usually understood as a practice that crosses spatial and communal boundaries. However, the ethics of solidarity also bridges past, present and future generations. Through the case of Archivio delle memorie migranti, this article demonstrates the significance o…
