Concezioni dei luoghi e figure dell’alterità: il mare tra i Wayuu. Parte prima
2010
Prima parte di un articolo in cui si propone un’analisi della cosmologia dei Wayuu,una popolazione indigena sudamericana, dalla prospettiva delle valenze simboliche che vi assume il mare, luogo di provenienza o residenza dell’Altro da sé, identificato sia con figure di spiriti, sia con i colonizzatori di origine europea, sia con gli animali da loro introdotti. Dopo aver presentato alcune posizioni del dibattito antropologico contemporaneo sui rapporti tra concezioni dell’alterità e senso dei luoghi, si esamina la relazione complessa tra i valori simbolici e sociali della pesca e quelli della pastorizia (attività introdotta dopo l’arrivo dei primi Europei), e la connessione tra il mare e una…
Concezioni dei luoghi e figure dell’alterità: il mare tra i Wayuu.Seconda parte.
2011
Tra i Wayuu, una popolazione indigena sudamericana che ha adottato l’allevamento di bestiame nel secolo XVII, il mare ha valenze simboliche differenti, che oscillano tra due poli opposti. Da una parte, esso è rappresentato come un luogo destinato a restare sotto il dominio del ‘mondo altro’, associato con la morte e le malattie;dall'altra, esso diventa un luogo addomesticabile e appropriabile. In questa seconda parte, esamino dapprima i modi in cui il mare compare nei miti cosmogonici, e del suo rapporto con l’immagine dei Bianchi; successivamente analizzo il legame tra la credenza secondo cui gli animali marini sono gli animali domestici di Pulowi, la signora del ‘mondo altro’, e quella ch…
Parenté et organisation sociale chez les Wayùu. Retour sur la question
2021
Dans cet article, l’auteur revient sur certaines questions concernant le domaine de la parenté et de l’organisation sociale des Wayùu de la péninsule de La Guajira, dans la zone frontalière du nord de la Colombie et du Venezuela. Prenant pour point de départ le désaccord entre Goulet et Saler sur l’existence de catégories et de groupes de lignages et sur la place de ceux-ci dans le monde social des Wayùu, il opte pour le point de vue de Saler, à savoir que ces catégories peuvent être considérées non seulement dans les mythes au sujet de l’origine de la société wayùu, mais aussi dans les différents concepts qui réfèrent à l’ancestralité utérine commune d’un groupe de gens apparentés, ainsi q…
Benefits of the relations between editorial board members and scholarly journals. The case of Ibero-American journals of psychology
2017
[EN]: The objective of the present work is to delve into the publication habits of members of editorial committees of Ibero-American journals of psychology, collected in the Web of Science (WoS) between the years 2013 and 2015. Different bibliometric indicators were used and the results reveal a disparity in the participation of editorial board members from one journal to another, including a shorter article acceptance time and a larger number of citations, mainly in Web of Science and BIOSIS. Many of the editorial board members are researchers of recognized prestige in their discipline; therefore, by publishing articles in the journals in which they play a role, they offer a guarantee of s…
Multianalytical characterization of pigments from funerary artefacts belongs to the Chupicuaro Culture (Western Mexico): Oldest Maya blue and cinnaba…
2019
Abstract The colours used in Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica to decorate walls, codices or artefacts have been the subject of numerous studies, with particular attention to Maya blue, red and white pigments. However, most of these studies have been focused on emblematic cultures of the Classic period (ca. 300–1000 CE), such as Teotihuacan and Maya cultures. This work proposes a new chronology of the preparation and use of these pigments, particularly Maya blue, by analysing samples of the Pre-Classic period (ca. 1800 BCE–300 CE). The samples belong to ceremonial artefacts decorated with blue, red and white pigments, in a funerary context from the Chupicuaro culture, which was developed between 600…
“What you do to Children Matters”: Motherhood in Toni Morrison's God Help the Child
2015
Toni Morrison’s latest novel, God Help the Child, explores the damaging effects of racism on motherhood and the dramatic impact of toxic mothering upon children. The institution of patriarchal motherhood fails to enact the critical tasks of motherwork —preservation, nurturance and cultural bearing, while mothering is a potential site of empowerment of black children and African American culture. African American authoritarian parenting style, associated with patriarchal motherhood, has a correlation with diverse factors, such as the legacy of slavery and its survival strategies, low-income and/or single-parent households and the disruption of the motherline. Motherhood distorted by racism c…

Francisco Pizarro de Rosa Arciniega-Un intento de legitimación de la voz de una historiadora
2022
A reading of the historical novel Francisco Pizarro, written by the Peruvian Rosa Arciniega in 1936, is proposed. Through the analysis of the work, we will reflect on the relationship of the writer with the national historiography and with the ideal of a woman who dominated Latin American political and cultural discourse in the first half of the 20th century. From this, we seek to identify the place that the author constructs for herself within the intellectual field.

He Is All American Now”: Italian–Americans in the Italian Campaign of World War II
2022
This chapter aims to analyze the case of the Italian–Americans' participation in World War II. It is an interesting case study to focus on issues connected to the processes of constructing multifaceted identities that characterize ethnicity. In 1943, in view of the invasion of Italy, the US asked Italian–Americans to fight against their ancestor country. Nonetheless, they were encouraged to exploit their idealistic roots and their “ethnical” competence to facilitate a “good occupation.” Biographies of Italian–Americans that were in Italy will help us to examine the interplay between Italianness and Americanization in war experience.
