STRANIERI, MERIDIONALI O PROVINCIALI? I CONSUMI NEL TEMPO LIBERO DELLE SECONDE GENERAZIONI
2022
In this paper, we analyze consumption patterns of leisure time among young people belonging to the so-called “second generation” of immigrants in Italy. Leisure time consumption describes how young immigrants use cultural products and services. We analyze data collected by the ISTAT through the survey on the “second generations” (2015). A comparison of leisure consumption patterns between second-generation immigrants and their Italian peers does not show significant differences. Rather, differences in consumption styles are associated to gender (male/female), geographic area of residence (North/South), and size of the municipality (large municipality/small municipality) of residence.

Reconsidering cultural tourism: an anthropologist's perspective
2012
After returning home from fieldwork on the Guarani reservation in Misiones, Argentina, the author was approached by one of his colleagues and asked about the difference between ethnography and ethnic tourism. The immediate response was, what do you mean by ‘ethnic tourism’? After a moment of silence, he responded that, to him, ethnic tourism meant people traveling to interact with indigenous people and experience their lifestyles and customs. This thought process brought about the interest in writing this reflective research note. This short opinion piece teases out the importance of aboriginal peoples and their culture as heritage attractions and proposes the role of anthropology in creati…
Silk Road Museums: Design of Inclusive Heritage and Cross-Cultural Education
2021
This work is the result of a study on the characteristics that define some of the museums created on the Silk Road. The approach to these museums has focused especially on the observation of the educational and heritage aspects that define these institutions. Since 1988, numerous actions related to the Silk Road have been promoted by UNESCO. This old trade route has now become a route of dialogue between cultures. Each museum studied is characterized by promoting local and national issues that define it. Educational issues stand out, since the tradition of silk production is very important in each place. Another aspect observed is that heritage issues manage to strengthen the characteristic…

“Some Women Are Born Fighters”: Discursive Constructions of a Fighter’s Identity by Female Finnish Judo Athletes
2017
Martial arts and combat sports have been traditionally associated with masculinity, and a range of contradictory meanings have been attached to women’s engagement and experiences. The present study draws on cultural praxis and feminist poststructuralist frameworks to explore how female martial artists are subjectified to dominant cultural discourses surrounding fighting and competition. Interviews with nine female judoka (judo athletes) were gathered in Finland and analyzed using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA). The FDA revealed that in female judoka talk, judo was constructed as a sport for all, but also as a male domain and a manly sport with fighting and competition as innate mascul…

Do Individual Reactions Predict Group Reactions?
1987
Summary.-Group reactions of three-man groups included in 71 junior ice hockey players were measured using a homeostat. Individual reaction times (simple reaction time, choice reaction time) did not predict group performance. In social psychology many studies have compared the effectiveness of an individual and a group (Kelley & Thibaut. 1969). Less research has been done to predict group performance by individuals' performance. In this study group performance was measured by a homeostat developed in the USSR (Medvedev, 1967). Ic consists of three microammeters connected in the same electric network. When the Examiner rotates the electric resistance, the subjects ought to restore the equilib…

2011
En el marco de la Teoria de la Autodeterminacion (Deci y Ryan, 1985; 2000), se estudiaron los predictores socio-contextuales y motivacionales de la intencion de seguir practicando danza, y el papel del burnout en estas relaciones, poniendo a prueba dos modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Los participantes, 197 bailarines vocacionales, completaron los cuestionarios con las variables clave de interes. Los resultados revelaron que las percepciones del apoyo a la autonomia ofrecidas por el profesor de danza actuo como predictor positivo de la motivacion autonoma (motivacion intrinseca, regulacion integrada y regulacion identificada) y como predictor negativo de la motivacion controlada (regula…
