El héroe, el viaje y la construcción de las identidades sociales. Las minas del rey Salomón como modelo
2019
The purpose of the following pages is to better understand how social identities are constructed and how these constructions influence citizenship. For this, I will analyze a type of hero that emerged in England throughout the nineteenth century: the one related to travel and exploration. He is a hero who assumes a thousand-year-old tradition and develops it in a certain direction. Its purpose is to reinforce an idea of the world that serves the interests of the social groups that create or mold that heroic figure and that, through it, aspire to that image of the world becomes dominant, permeating all social sectors. After pointing out some of the most outstanding travel modalities of the n…
Sante, politica e percorsi devozionali nella Palermo medievale
2020
Il Mezzogiorno medievale anche in tema di santità appare area di frontiera e manifesta, in una prospettiva comparativa, una sua specificità. Melting pot di culture, lingue e religioni, Palermo vide alternarsi, nel corso della sua storia, poteri e popoli che influirono profondamente non solo sulla struttura urbana ma sulla percezione che la città ebbe di sé stessa. A caratterizzare il successo di alcuni santi fu la suggestione esercitata da modelli di santità eremitica, una santità conseguita non con l’impegno pastorale ma attraverso solitudine e ascesi. Va inoltre sottolineata una consistente presenza femminile martiriale, con una serie di sante - Agata, Cristina, Lucia, Ninfa, Oliva, Orsol…
INTERPRETARE ORAZIO CON ORAZIO? A PROPOSITO DI CARMINA, LIBRO IV
2011
In the work “Mutat terra vices. Identità, cambiamento e memoria culturale nell’ultimo Orazio” (Palermo 2010), I focused my attention on interpretative and methodological questions concerning the last Horatian book of carmina. In this paper the aim is to demonstrate how the topic of change and discontinuity points out, on the surface of these poems, the presence of conspicuous interferences between the execution of a role by authorial "persona", and the expression, at the same time, of role distance. I mean here especially to describe how gift, reciprocity and exchange in patronage frames contributed to the definition of Horace’s self and of his official duties as interpreter of common memor…
Cities' identity and urban redevelopment: a study for the enhancement of self-built houses
2021
The study objective is the knowledge of the ways in which ‘the universe of the house is structured’ , in particular in a selected neighbourhood located on the northern edge of Favara - a town in the Sicilian hinterland, few kilometres far from Agrigento - characterized by self-building. The hope is that the investigated built-up heritage, together with public open spaces, can be recovered and enhanced by the community and local governance through strategic urban redevelopment actions not to lose a significant part of the city’s identity and history.

Haciendo desigualdad de la diferencia: meritocracia y derecho a la identidad cultural. A propósito de la posición del pueblo gitano
2009
The persistent information on high levels of unemployment and premature abandon of school of roma students (with all the precautions with regard to undue generalizations, cases of full integration etc.) allow that the question of the right to a cultural identity turns out to be current, as well as its repercussion in areas as those of education and employment. This work analyzes the implication of the cultural difference, in the concrete case of the roma, taking into account the kind of economica inequality legitimized according to the meritocratic system wich informs the mentioned areas. It is dealing with a dissatisfaction judgement in human rights terms for the situation of a group wich …
Choosing Who You Are: The Structure and Behavioral Effects of Revealed Identification Preferences
2017
Differences in individuals’ social identity have recently been shown to explain differences in behavior. But where do differences in social identity come from? Theory claims that identification allows people to affect their social identity by choosing who they are. Accordingly, this paper treats social identity as a choice and analyzes its behavioral effects. We find identification to be systematically related to behavioral heterogeneity in group-specific social preferences. In a first step, we measure identification preferences using a revealed preference approach in a laboratory experiment. Confirming social identity theory, participants reveal a stronger identification preference for gro…
Narrative and discursive perspectives on athletic identity : Past, present, and future
2016
Abstract Objectives The dominant role-based conceptualisations of athletic identity have recently been challenged in favour of theoretical perspectives that view identity as a complex cultural construction. In the present study, we analysed empirical studies on athletic identity positioned in narrative and discursive approaches to gain an insight into the use and subsequent contribution of these approaches to knowledge production in this research topic. Design and method A total of 23 articles, of which 18 narrative studies and five discursive studies, were identified in a systematic literature search. We used the meta-study method to analyse these studies in terms of basic assumptions, met…
Identity politics of the European Capital of Culture initiative and the audience reception of cultural events compared
2014
The European Capital of Culture (ECOC) is one of the EU’s longest running cultural initiatives. It has an identity political focus: The designation as an ECOC requires cities to plan cultural events which foster and bring to the fore local, regional, and European cultures and identities, and moreover, present the local culture as European. How are these identity political aims mediated to the audiences of the ECOC events? The article investigates the reception of cultural events in three recent ECOCs – Pecs2010, Tallinn2011, and Turku2011 – on the basis of a questionnaire study conducted among the audiences. With the methods of statistical and discourse analysis, the article explores how th…
