AF/R2 adhesin and cytopathic effect as virulence traits of diarrhea-inducing Escherichia coli O103 in European rabbit
1995
Escherichia coli strains belonging to 0103:K-:H2 serovar and rhamnose negative biovars are responsible for frequent life-threatening diarrheas in weaned rabbits from national breeding units in western Europe (Blanco et al., 1994; Camguilhem and A. Milon, 1989). According to their mechanisms of pathogenesis, these strains may be considered as enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC)-like. They adhere to intestinal brush border and to HeLa cells by mean of an adhesin called AF/R2 (Adhesive Factor/Rabbit 2) (Milon et al., 1990). They do not produce known toxins (i.e. ST, LT, SLT, CNF, CLDT) (Blanco et al., 1994; Mariani-Kurkdjian et al., 1993) and bear sequences homologous to EPEC eaeA (Leroy et al., 1…
Diritti e principi nello spazio giuridico europeo dei diritti fondamentali: un aspetto dell’esperienza costituzionale
2020
La Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’Unione europea e le sue interrelazioni con le Costituzioni nazionali hanno dato origine ad una giurisprudenza della Corte di Lussemburgo e delle Corti costituzionali sui rapporti fra la Carta e le Costituzioni degli Stati, che mira a definire e a contemperare i tratti caratteristici dell’identità costituzionale degli Stati membri. Il punto di sintesi fra identità costituzionale nazionale e patrimonio costituzionale europeo racchiuso nella Carta sono le tradizioni costituzionali comuni degli Stati membri. Queste ultime, com’è noto, sono strumento d’interpretazione della Carta, dunque, veicolo per definire la portata e gli effetti della stessa Carta. Qui…
La crimmigration e l'espulsione dello straniero-massa
2017
The article primarily aims at offering a theoretical reconstruction of the fundamen- tal characteristics of the so-called crimmigration strategy, as it appears in Italian law. The author’s main thesis is that what differentiates this strategy from the ways in which Italy has traditionally dealt with undesired foreigners is not so much the instruments that are deployed, but the way in which the foreigner him/herself is conceived: not as an individual, but as a “mass-foreigner”. The paper goes on to show how this new conception has affected the legal regulation of expulsions, as it has emerged, in Italy, during the last thirty years. Finally, the author tries to locate crimmigration within th…
Introduction: Mediterranean Movements and the Reconfiguration of the Military-Humanitarian Border in 2015
2018
This article deals with the transformations occurred in the government of refugees in the Mediterranean since 2013, when the military-humanitarian operation Mare Nostrum was launched by the European Union. The paper analyses how military and humanitarian practices are entangled in governing refugees and develops the notion of military-humanitarianism. The Mediterranean borderzone has undergone radical reconfigurations over the last few years. Particularly, new technologies of control for strengthening the role of the Mediterranean Sea as a pre-frontier of Europe have been put in place. The production and the declaration of a "refugee crisis" in Europe has contributed to producing important …
The Central Mediterranean Route: Law Enforcement Without the Rule of Law
2017
It could be successfully argued that there is a general obligation to save lives in danger at sea and that this obligation is moral in nature. Such reasoning, however, is not the specific aim of this paper. Instead, this paper focuses on the legal obligations of the European Union (EU), its Member States, other neighbouring countries, and the EU Border and Coast Guard, towards migrants attempting the risky journey to Europe, in order to find out whether there are any legal steps that can be taken in order to help eliminate deaths in the Mediterranean. The article focuses on the main International Conventions on maritime law, international human rights law, international asylum law, the rele…
Lo sguardo dell’altro: artivismo, ideologia e rappresentazione
2020
In a global context in which society has become spectacle, everything turns into representation (Debord 1967). The phenomenon of nation-states fortification emerges in a problematic way with respect to the neoliberal capital-work relationship (Mezzadra e Nielson 2013). The need to build walls, in fact, is a mode of representation that is exploited for a strategic construction of alterity. The aim of this research is to highlight the “naturalization” of stereotyped imagery, prompted by mediatic and political discourses concerning the migratory phenomenon. Starting from a recognition of the critical thinking of scholars such as Michel Foucault and Louis Marin, the goal of this paper is to tak…
Lingua e prassi della definizione dei confini nelle fonti documentarie. Materiali per uno studio del multiculturalismo in età normanna.
2022
Multiculturalism and multilingualism are often used to condense the Norman political and cultural experience in the kingdom of Sicily into a formula. How the coexistence of the three, if not four, cultural communities - Greek Byzantine language and rite, Arab Muslim and Judeo-Arabic, Latin Roman rite - was articulated is, however, a far from simple question. The contribution attempts to demonstrate the validity of the act of juridical practice as a tool for the study of Norman society and culture in Sicily starting from the analysis of the definition of boundaries, urban and rural, contained therein.
Costruire e rappresentare le identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante
2013
Lo scopo del contributo è riflettere sul ruolo di mediazione che la linguistica può avere nel complesso rapporto fra le politiche linguistiche e le concrete pratiche discorsive dei parlanti. Il lavoro è diviso in due parti. Nella prima ci si concentrerà sul modo in cui il concetto di «identità» è stato affrontato nella ricerca linguistica nel corso del xx secolo. Nella seconda alcuni possibili modelli di rappresentazione delle complesse costruzioni identitarie emerse nel corso delle inchieste della sezione sociovariazionale dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia (ALS), con particolare riferimento alle domande che indagano sulla percezione dei confini linguistici. Our paper aims at reflecting up…
Costruire e rappresentare l’identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante
2013
Our paper aims at reflecting upon the mediation role that linguistics could play concerning the relationship between language policies and concrete speakers’ discourse practices. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one focuses on the concept of «identity» within Linguistics throughout 20th century. The second part deals with some possible models which may be employed in order to represent the construction of speakers’ identity as it may be observed within the interviews of the Linguistic Atlas of Sicily (ALS).
Gloria Fuertes: sconfinare
2022
La censura franchista, in vigore, in Spagna, a partire dagli anni Trenta, interviene su ogni manifestazione o prodotto culturale dell’epoca, con l’intento di diffondere l’ideologia promossa dal franchismo, mettendo a tacere qualunque possibile espressione di dissenso. Il presente lavoro si prefigge di analizzare la controversa figura della poetessa spagnola Gloria Fuertes, la quale, nonostante sia stata lungamente discriminata e confinata nell’ambito ristretto di una letteratura ritenuta marginale, è stata in grado di valicare i limiti imposti dal sistema egemonico e ritagliarsi uno spazio sacro di stridente resistenza antifranchista. Dopo una breve premessa sul concetto di confine e alcuni…
