La lucha contra la brecha salarial de género en el Derecho social europeo

2017

[EN] Starting from the assumption that equal pay for female and male workers form parts of the foundations of European Social Law (both as an essential principle and a fundamental right), this essay reflects on two important challenges in order to face the gender wage gap: firstly, the role of social partners and relevant organisations of civil society in salary negotiations; and secondly, the extension of the scope of the valid comparator beyond the same undertaking to make easier the protective role of national judges (alongside other elements such as the assessment of the weight of statistics or the articulation of the proof burden). The author concludes that, in both aspects, the synerg…

Quale disciplina per la violazione di norme internazionali?

2023

In this chapter the traditional legal issues concerning the legal regime which applies to international law violations are described, according to an original perspective. First of all, some specific problems (such as the place of fault and damage; the moment in which a violation can be considered as being committed, and the conditions governing such a commission; the role to be recognized to countermeasure in the general framework of the legal consequences of internationally wrongful acts, etc.) are solved, at variance with the mainstream opinion. Second: the elements of an internationally wrongful act as well as its legal effects are both examined with regard to the general regime and som…

Cosa nostra and Camorra: illegal activities and organizational structures

2016

This article intends to develop an introductory reflection concerning the most recent trends of two of the major Italian mafia organisations: the Sicilian Cosa Nostra and the Campanian Camorra. Following a comparative perspective, the analysis will focus the attention on changes that have occurred in recent years both at the level of illegal activities and at the level of organisational structures. After the bombs of the nineties, Cosa Nostra has moved towards a flexible and less centralised organisation, investing dirty money in the legal economic sector, to reduce its exposure to law enforcement investigations. At the same time, the Camorra clans have considerably widened their range of a…

High-skilled migration and the knowledge society. Theories, processes, perspectives

2018

The recent economic crisis has led to an upswing in migration from the Mediterranean countries of Europe towards its central and northern development hubs. This overall increase in migration also includes high numbers of the so-called skilled migrants, consisting mainly, though not exclusively, of young people moving within Europe for study or specialisation, or seeking employment that matches their skills profile. It is no coincidence then that this new trend for skilled migration within Europe forms the main thrust of the cognitive and research interests of sociologists, economists and migration geographers. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the theoretical debate on skilled migrati…

Città ‘altre’. Le miniere come metafora della rappresentazione.

2014

Lo studio è incentrato sulla rappresentazione di una miniera di zolfo nel cuore della Sicilia. I legami tra gli impianti fuori terra e la fitta rete di gallerie del sottosuolo costituiscono una efficace metafora della struttura urbana e di alcune delle questioni legate alla rappresentazione dell’architettura. Il dualismo tra spazi apollinei e dionisiaci, tra il regno della percezione e quello della tattilità e della memoria, rappresentati rispettivamente dalle strutture fuori terra e dal sottosuolo, costringono alla ricerca di forme della rappresentazione capaci di esprimerne le peculiarità. Tre tavole, disegnate con una tecnica obsoleta, matita su cartoncino, cercano di rappresentare la co…

Digital Storytelling and Multimodal Literacy in Education

2014

This article argues in favour of using digital storytelling to encourage a critical socio-educational focus in education and include multimodal explicit teaching in the curriculum. The analysis of fifty digital stories indicates that the students developed a certain awareness of the issue chosen for their story (e.g. violence, racism, war) since the final product transmits a critical perspective on the topic itself. Further work, however, needs to be invested in the development of the digital story content itself and on the issue of multimodal learning, with especial emphasis on the interface between multimodal elements and more traditional modes of transmitting ideas.

Exploring and Reshaping Learners’ Beliefs About the Usefulness of Corrective Feedback : A Sociocultural Perspective

2016

A number of studies have shown that learners’ beliefs about the usefulness of corrective feedback for improving their L2 (a second or a foreign language) use influences the extent to which learners can utilize that same feedback. It seems, then, that changing some of these beliefs could benefit the L2 learning process. The present article reports on two small-scale studies, both drawing on a sociocultural perspective on the development of beliefs. Changes in learners’ beliefs about corrective feedback were observed both within a period of six months (Case study) and over the course of one research interview (Group study). The studies exemplify how the interplay of one’s own and other’s expe…
