Vallankäyttöä linssin edessä ja takana : visuaalinen etnografia ja kaksi tutkimusta Länsi-Afrikasta
2014
Visuaalinen materiaali on tärkeä osa etnografista tutkimusta ja tiedon tuottamista, mutta visuaalisen aineiston kerääminen etnografisin kenttätyömenetelmin ei ole yksiselitteistä. Mikä on visuaalisen etnografian merkitys etnologisessa tutkimuksessa ja mikä ohjaa visuaalisen aineiston keräämistä ja tuottamista? Millä tavalla videokameran käyttö kenttätyössä vaikuttaa kerätyn tiedon luonteeseen ja luotettavuuteen? Lähestymme aihetta kahden eri Länsi-Afrikassa toteutetun kenttätutkimuksen kautta ja kahdesta eri näkökulmasta: malilainen visuaaliantropologi keräämässä videoaineistoa etnografisia dokumenttifilmejä varten malilaisissa yhteisökouluissa ja suomalainen etnologi keräämässä haastattelu…
Stavo per scivolare, ho pensato a Wittgenstein!. Etnopragmatica di un concetto
2016
In questo saggio, esploro la porta semiotica e pragmatica di un’azione (‘scivolare’), comunemente appartenente all’ambito del quotidiano, per mostrarne invece la valenza teorica e metateorica oltre che d’ordine pratico. Le domande che mi pongo sono le seguenti: come si può riflettere sul quotidiano in chiave antropologica? Come analizzare il senso di un concetto soltanto in apparenza d’uso comune? Come eludere la metafisica radicata nelle nostre proprie analisi? Per rispondere a queste domande, mi sono avvalso del concetto di gioco linguistico formulato da Wittgenstein rinviando allo ‘scivolare’ in opposizione all’‘attrito’ e, infine, al concetto stesso di ‘gioco linguistico’. Ho dunque mes…
Identification of subspecies and parentage relationship by means of DNA fingerprinting in two exemplary of Pan troglodytes (Blumenbach, 1775) (Mammal…
2018
Four chimpanzee subspecies (Mammalia Hominidae) are commonly recognised: the Western Chimpanzee, P. troglodytes verus (Schwarz, 1934), the Nigeria-Cameroon Chimpanzee, P. troglodytes ellioti, the Central Chimpanzee, P. troglodytes troglodytes (Blumenbach, 1799), and the Eastern Chimpanzee, P. troglodytes schweinfurthii (Giglioli, 1872). Recent studies on mitochondrial DNA show the incorporation of P. troglodytes schweinfurthii in P. troglodytes troglodytes, suggesting the existence of only two subspecies: P. troglodytes troglodytes in Central and Eastern Africa and P. troglodytes verus-P. troglodytes ellioti in West Africa. The aim of the present study is twofold: first, to identify the cor…

The discovery of a Mycenaean-type tholos tomb in the Bronze Age necropolis of the Gazzi buried floodplain (Messina, Southern Italy): new geological a…
2019
This paper deals with a monument that is, up to this date, unique in Sicily and in the Italian peninsula: the Mycenaean-type tholos tomb of the Gazzi necropolis in Messina. A recent excavation in the alluvial deposits revealed extensive traces of a funerary area with a tholos tomb and several enchytrismos tombs with skeletal remains, presumably dated back to the end of the Early or the initial stage of the Middle(?) Bronze Age. The present multi-disciplinary investigation has been developed to analyse new data related to sediments, building stones and skeletal remains of this funerary area. The stratigraphic succession hosting the necropolis was formed by overbank sediments deposited on the…
Geochemistry of phosphatic nodules as a tool for understanding depositional and taphonomical settings in a paleolithic cave site (San teodoro, Sicily)
2021
Interpreting depositional settings of cave sites is generally problematic, especially in absence of palaeontological/archaeological evidence. This is the case of some deposits at San Teodoro Cave (Sicily), a key site for the Mediterranean Palaeolithic. In a stratigraphic level interrupted by a carbonatic concretion, phosphatic nodules are present only in the part enclosed between the concretion and the cave wall. The discovery of these nodules combined with the punctual lack of fossils had initially suggested an erosion phenomenon and subsequent formation of nodules at a vadose level. Here we show the usefulness of an integrated, geochemical-palaeoecological approach in defining stratigraph…
Nonni caregiver e famiglie headed by grandparents
2020
The volume begins with a reflection on the multiple and changing forms that contemporary families have assumed. The new trends in the social sciences emphasize, in fact, an increasingly accentuated gap between the nuclear family, a union between "the social and the legal" and a multitude of new family models, a synthesis of choices and assumptions of responsibility in the perspective of care and of the well-being of the other. There are numerous studies that in the most recent period investigate the transformation of the family, an institution present in all human societies. Subject analyzed by different disciplines and with multiple cuts, it has represented a cornerstone of anthropological…
La reproducció en la vida de les dones. Aportacions de l'antropologia
2012
L’antropologia social i cultural ha estudiat la reproducció des del punt de vista de diverses especialitats –parentiu, simbolisme, feminisme, salut– i ha assenyalat tant les dimensions que comprèn com el caràcter social, construït i central per al manteniment d’una societat. Aquesta mirada permet a les autores suggerir certes hipòtesis a partir de les quals entendre la reproducció com un assumpte vertebrador de la vida de les dones en l’actualidad, que hauria de ser objecte d’estudi rellevant per a la ciència.
