Adrano, Efesto e i Palici. Culti, interazioni etniche e middle ground nella Sicilia antica
2015
Stranieri o nativi che fossero (εἴτε εἶεν ξένοι εἴτε ἐπιχώριοι), coloro che si accostavano ai santuari dei Palici, di Adrano e di Efesto assumevano un atteggiamento ricettivo e fiducioso, effetto di una strategia “macroretorica” che offriva forme di transazione e di mediazione in un quadro diffuso di conflittualità tra individui e tra gruppi. In questo volume, il ricorso al modello interpretativo del middle ground e al concetto di “porosità” culturale mostra che sia le comunità indigene sia quelle greche si ridefinivano in modi differenti nei diversi contesti spazio-temporali e adattavano la propria struttura identitaria alle più svariate circostanze: dal punto di vista di una “ecologia cul…
"To ńyma nasz fajer!", czyli o śląskiej polityczności. Elementy integracji i dezintegracji w procesie kształtowania się fenomenu śląskiej etniczności
2022
Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza elementów integracji i dezintegracji w procesie kształtowania się fenomenu śląskiej etniczności. Autorka proponuje teoriopolityczną interpretację procesów, jakie zaszły na Górnym Śląsku w ostatnich trzech dekadach. W tym celu proponuje posłużenie się kategorią śląskiej polityczności, która ma oddawać specyfikę życia politycznego w regionie. Te jest oparte na wielokierunkowych relacjach podmiotów politycznych wyrażonych w diadzie integracja-dezintegracja. Stanowi ona schemat interpretacyjny pozwalający je opisać w negatywnej zależności, gdy integracja jednego podmiotu jest uwarunkowana dezintegracją drugiego. W tekście autorka proponuje ustrukturyzowanie życ…
Emotional and Aesthetic Labor of Finnish Military Officers
2021
This study analyzes the emotional and aesthetic labor of Finnish military officers. It examines the kinds of valuations officers attach to the notion of an ideal soldier. The meanings that officers give to these ideals are explored within the wider framework of post-Fordist new work. The ideal soldier is traditionally considered to be physically capable and strong, rational, and in control—features culturally coded as masculine. An analysis of 108 military officers’ writings and 12 interviews showed that while the traditional masculine ideal still exists, a vast variety of valuations are related to new work. The notion of the new ideal worker includes attributes, such as empathy, emotional …

Integration and hegemonic relationship of labour market inequality : an investigation of immigrants/policy officials perceptions on immigrant's labou…
2017
The aim of the research was to investigate the perceptions of immigrants (students, refugees and others) and public officials, on the value of Finnish economic integration within the broader context of immigrant-host labour relationship. Employing Gramsci theory of Hegemony, this study examined those discursive hegemonies in defining the economic and labour market importance of migration and integration, and how does such "hegemonic definitions" resonate within the views of Non-EU foreign students and other migrants. How does hegemonic labour inequality explicate when certain notions of belonging and identity resonates within labour market inclusions of Immigrants. To understand how percept…
