The Central Mediterranean Route: Law Enforcement Without the Rule of Law

2017

It could be successfully argued that there is a general obligation to save lives in danger at sea and that this obligation is moral in nature. Such reasoning, however, is not the specific aim of this paper. Instead, this paper focuses on the legal obligations of the European Union (EU), its Member States, other neighbouring countries, and the EU Border and Coast Guard, towards migrants attempting the risky journey to Europe, in order to find out whether there are any legal steps that can be taken in order to help eliminate deaths in the Mediterranean. The article focuses on the main International Conventions on maritime law, international human rights law, international asylum law, the rele…

Lo sguardo dell’altro: artivismo, ideologia e rappresentazione

2020

In a global context in which society has become spectacle, everything turns into representation (Debord 1967). The phenomenon of nation-states fortification emerges in a problematic way with respect to the neoliberal capital-work relationship (Mezzadra e Nielson 2013). The need to build walls, in fact, is a mode of representation that is exploited for a strategic construction of alterity. The aim of this research is to highlight the “naturalization” of stereotyped imagery, prompted by mediatic and political discourses concerning the migratory phenomenon. Starting from a recognition of the critical thinking of scholars such as Michel Foucault and Louis Marin, the goal of this paper is to tak…

Costruire e rappresentare le identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante

2013

Lo scopo del contributo è riflettere sul ruolo di mediazione che la linguistica può avere nel complesso rapporto fra le politiche linguistiche e le concrete pratiche discorsive dei parlanti. Il lavoro è diviso in due parti. Nella prima ci si concentrerà sul modo in cui il concetto di «identità» è stato affrontato nella ricerca linguistica nel corso del xx secolo. Nella seconda alcuni possibili modelli di rappresentazione delle complesse costruzioni identitarie emerse nel corso delle inchieste della sezione sociovariazionale dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia (ALS), con particolare riferimento alle domande che indagano sulla percezione dei confini linguistici. Our paper aims at reflecting up…

Costruire e rappresentare l’identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante

2013

Our paper aims at reflecting upon the mediation role that linguistics could play concerning the relationship between language policies and concrete speakers’ discourse practices. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one focuses on the concept of «identity» within Linguistics throughout 20th century. The second part deals with some possible models which may be employed in order to represent the construction of speakers’ identity as it may be observed within the interviews of the Linguistic Atlas of Sicily (ALS).

Gloria Fuertes: sconfinare

2022

La censura franchista, in vigore, in Spagna, a partire dagli anni Trenta, interviene su ogni manifestazione o prodotto culturale dell’epoca, con l’intento di diffondere l’ideologia promossa dal franchismo, mettendo a tacere qualunque possibile espressione di dissenso. Il presente lavoro si prefigge di analizzare la controversa figura della poetessa spagnola Gloria Fuertes, la quale, nonostante sia stata lungamente discriminata e confinata nell’ambito ristretto di una letteratura ritenuta marginale, è stata in grado di valicare i limiti imposti dal sistema egemonico e ritagliarsi uno spazio sacro di stridente resistenza antifranchista. Dopo una breve premessa sul concetto di confine e alcuni…

2009

Aims Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is childhood-onset disorder that presents high rates of co-morbidity with personality disorders.

Ralf Gustav Dahrendorf e il mutamento delle classi sociali

2022

Il capitolo venti è parte del manuale Sociologia generale curato da Rita Bichi fondato sulla categoria di persona nella sua correlazione con la struttura sociale. Ralf Dahrendorf (1929-2009) vede nell’attraversamento dei confini - disciplinari, teorici, lavorativi, territoriali – un elemento di vitalità e ricchezza creativa. È un intellettuale pubblico. Il continuo “cavalcare il confine” nel corso della sua vita gli permette di connettere mondi diversi, senza cancellarne le differenze, di passare dalla teoria alla prassi e viceversa, come studioso, come docente, come consigliere, giornalista e politico. Da ciò deriva la difficoltà di collocarlo esclusivamente all’interno di una definizione …
