The Role of Professors in the Formation of Finnish Parliamentary Life: The Struggle between Two Conceptions of Parliament

2017

The Frankfurt Parliament (1848–49) was subsequently dismissively referred to as the “Professors’ Parliament” due to its heavy representation of scholars and the academic style of its lengthy discussions. Professors have played a prominent role in the deliberations and development of other European assemblies, too. This article examines the role of professors in the formation of Finnish parliamentary life. It moreover underlines the close relationship between the academia and national politics in late nineteenth-century Finland, starting from the European revolutions of 1848. The article highlights how politically active professors, together with the newspaper press, were crucial in transfe…

2021

The article is a contribution to the biography of the Catholic clergyman, parish priest in the parish of Łubniany located in Upper Silesia – the Rev. Franciszek Pogrzeba. He was one of the fourteen priests who signed the so-called “Appeal to Priests”, in compliance with which they broke off their cooperation with the Catholic German Center Party (Deutsche Zentrumspartei) and supported the Deputies of the “Polish Circle” in the German Parliament. After World War 1, the Rev. Pogrzeba actively engaged for incorporation of Upper Silesia into Poland. Following the division of the region, threatened by German nationalists, he had to flee to Poland, where he spent the rest of his life working as a…

The Eco-tourist in Canadian and Italian national Parks

2013

The present paper aims to compare the image of the eco-tourist across languages and cultures, Canadian and Italian. An ad-hoc comparable corpus has been created from the official websites of National Parks which represent a kind of eco-tourist destination. The analysis attempts to trace a profile of Canadian and Italian eco-tourists Drawing upon the Functional Grammar (Halliday 1985) and addresses issues connected with Hall’s model (1983): Are Canadian and Italian ecotourism discourses shaped by their own cultural orientation, or do they attempt to speak in the tongue of the displaced tourist?

La pedagogia di Aldo Capitini e la democrazia. Orizzonti di formazione per l'uomo nuovo

2014

L’educazione alla democrazia prospettata da Aldo Capitini viene riconsiderata alla luce delle nuove emergenze poste dall’attuale società del pluralismo; egli, con uno sguardo lungo e anticipatamente post-moderno, consegna alle nuove generazioni un’inedita idea di democrazia, l’omnicrazia, e rilancia il rapporto tra politica e religione come necessario per promuovere un’educazione che miri alla formazione integrale dell’uomo. La proposta del metodo nonviolento, la realizzazione di comunità educanti in cui ci si formi ad un agire politico consapevole e responsabile, la sinergia tra spiritualità e politica, l’approccio laico e insieme religioso, sono alcuni fra gli aspetti più attuali di una p…

Family networks and refugees’ health conditions. A picture from Italian informal settlements

2021

While the relationships between social networks and health are widely acknowledged in the literature, few of these studies have covered the population of refugees living in makeshift camps. In our analysis of a nationally representative Italian survey of individuals living in informal settlements, we find that many had weak family relations: only 10 per cent had one or more family members in their settlement. The paper analyses the effects of individual social network on two measures of health, and finds that the refugees’ health conditions were associated with both their personal characteristics and the characteristics of the settlement. The results show that more than 50 per cent of these…

Ambienti, culture, patrimoni. Politiche e pratiche di tutela - Abstract

The complexity and instability of the current historical situation that characterizes the social and political life of our country, as well as the rapid socio-cultural transformations imposed by globalization, lead us to believe that an articulated and frequent confrontation between social sciences and public administration managers and bureaucratic systems is increasingly necessary and useful to respond to the new needs in the field of territorial and landscape planning. The critical issues regarding the management, enhancement and safeguarding of protected areas (be they environmental, landscape or archaeological) have inevitably been overshadowed and in some cases aggravated by the arriv…

At the Interface of National and Transnational: The Development of Finnish Policies against Domestic Violence in Terms of Gender Equality

2017

Although gender inequalities are the main social mechanisms behind the (re)production of domestic violence, policy responses to domestic violence as a gender-related problem vary at both the national and transnational levels. This article examines the interaction between national and transnational policies against domestic violence, focusing on how domestic violence is constructed as a gender-related problem in Finland, a Nordic welfare state that is often cited as a role model in gender equality. Using the conception of policies as historically changing and culturally specific discourses, this article offers an overview of the ways in which the perspective on domestic violence of the trans…
