Gender violence in migration: Voices of migrant women in Sicily

2015

Migrant women constitute a growing reality in Italy, also with reference to violence among family members. In particular, violence endured by the foreign female takes on a character of ‘dual violence,’ the violence experienced within the relationship is supplemented by the violence from the social context, which often isolates her, or even expels her following her ‘coming out into the open.’ The article presents extensive reflections emerging from the results of research carried out in 2012 in Sicily, aiming to explore the experience and perception of family violence and the possible influence of the migratory experience on changes in the forms and implications of family violence. The refle…

Conflicts in Family Relations, Children's Emotions and Agency

2017

What kind of conflicts and tensions do children experience with other children and adults in the family? Content analysis of 32 thematic interviews with 10- to 13-year-old children revealed that while conflicts often concern daily actions, tasks and routines, they also relate to decision-making and fair treatment or to matters threatening the child's sense of emotional security. Parental conflicts and conflicts in child–parent relationships often arouse negative emotions that lead children to suppress their agency. However, conflicts, particularly those between siblings, may also open up possibilities for negotiation and agency.

La sentenza n. 90 del 2022 della Corte costituzionale risolve un conflitto di attribuzioni fra Stato e Regione Valle d’Aosta originato dalla sentenza della sezione giurisdizionale III centrale della Corte dei conti (la nr. 350 del 2021) di condanna per responsabilità da danno erariale nei confronti di diversi Consiglieri della Regione per aver deliberato un atto amministrativo concernente un’operazione di rifinanziamento del Casinò di Saint-Vincent.

Forced monachizations, judicial strategies and noble logic: Sister Anna Maddalena Valdina

2017

In 1640 Anna, the daughter of the prince of Valdina, was forced to live in a convent (for patrimonial reasons) in Palermo along with three sisters. She was seven years old and remained there until 1699. First she asked her father and then her brother to leave the monastic life that she never accepted. Her story is inscribed within the phenomenon of the so-called "forced monachizations ", to which the Council of Trent had tried to remedy for. After the death of her brother, in 1693, now about sixty years old Anna asked the archbishop of Palermo to nullify his religious profession and to return to the lay state. Thus begins a very severe judicial dispute that triggers a violent jurisdictional…

Evolutionary Conflict Between Maternal and Paternal Interests: Integration with Evolutionary Endocrinology

2016

International audience; Conflict between mates, as well as conflict between parents and offspring are due to divergent evolutionary interests of the interacting individuals. Hormone systems provide genetically based proximate mechanisms for mediating phenotypic adaptation and maladaptation characteristic of evolutionary conflict between individuals. Testosterone (T) is among the most commonly studied hormones in evolutionary biology, and as such, its role in shaping sexually dimorphic behaviors and physiology is relatively well understood, but its role in evolutionary conflict is not as clear. In this review, we outline the genomic conflicts arising within the family unit, and incorporate m…

Paradoxes and coping mechanisms in the servitisation journey

2022

Servitisation is conceptualised as product manufacturers' transition towards bundling products and services to offer customers enhanced value. Scholars have raised concerns regarding the potential challenges that firms face during servitisation, often termed servitisation paradoxes. Limited studies have explored the paradoxes experienced during the servitisation journey and the associated coping mechanisms. We utilise the open-ended essay methodology to unravel various paradoxes and coping mechanisms to address the gap. We collected data in two stages—from 69 participants in the first stage and 32 in the second stage. The study's findings reveal three broad paradoxes: the paradox of organis…

Riso e sorriso e altri saggi sulla nonviolenza nella Grecia antica

2018

Is nonviolence a specificity of oriental culture? The book explores the presence, in ancient Greece, of forms of thought and actions that can be brought back to the idea of nonviolent conflict management. It identifies the role that laughter and smile can play in the resolution of interpersonal contrasts; it illustrates the advice of ‘work on oneself’ as well as on the other, given by ancient philosophers; it focuses on some rules to combat violence without resorting to violence; it presents female mediation practices and identifies various forms of diplomacy, both from above and from below; at least it shows the effective dynamics in view of the reconciliation between adversaries in cases …
