La povertà vista da Sud, tra diseguaglianze e diritto alla città. Il caso di Palermo
2020
Nei territori estesi della post-metropoli, le diseguaglianze, e i più ampi diritti di cittadinanza, investono differenti popolazioni urbane. Dai diritti negati ai nuovi arrivati (immigrati, rifugiati, ecc.), alle difficoltà di accesso alla casa di porzioni sempre più significative di abitanti tanto dei centri urbani quanto dei sobborghi suburbani, fino alla richiesta di servizi da parte degli abitanti delle estese periferie suburbane. Il presente contributo affronta la domanda di conoscenza più stimolante e, al medesimo tempo, più allarmante sui processi di regionalizzazione dell’urbano, ossia quella relativa alla rilettura socio-spaziale della crescita delle diseguaglianze e delle forme di…
CO2 reduction exploiting RES for EV charging
2017
The world is facing an urgent need to reduce emissions, limiting pollution for a better quality of life. This objective has to be reached by all cities and governments worldwide. This paper focuses on the field of transportation, which is greatly responsible for air pollution, mainly in cities and urban areas such as towns, airports and seaports. The diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) enables a significant reduction of air pollutants emitted by combustion engines; however, their recharge can affect the total pollution by their increasing energy demand. A solution is the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to charge EVs. This paper analyzes the feasibility of integrating EVs and RES, foc…

Five Years of the Citizens Directive in the UK - Part 2
2011
This two-part article reviews how the UK authorities have fared in the practical application of Directive 2004/38/EC in the five years since it entered into force. It identifies and examines the most common problems faced by EU citizens when seeking to have their rights recognised by the UK authorities applying the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 by reference to questions and complaints received by Your Europe Advice. In examining the experience of EU citizens and their family members living in the UK, account is taken of a number of recent judgments of the European Court of Justice concerning EU citizenship, including Metock, Lassal, Eman & Sevinger and Ruiz Zambrano.…
El sueño roto de la ciudadanía europea y el lado oscuro de la gobernanza
2015
Este trabajo trata de analizar tres modelos de ciudadanía europea a partir de la crisis de legitimidad del modelo de gobernanza europeo a la que asistimos hoy. Presentaré los rasgos de esta crisis del modelo de gobernanza, aclarando cómo esta crisis pone de manifiesto 1) el poder de veto de algunos de los estados miembros 2) la falta de responsabilidad de las decisiones comunitarias hacia las opiniones públicas 3) la reducción de confianza mutua de los actores políticos y económicos. Mostraré como los tres modelos, respectivamente el modelo nacional- liberal, el modelo de la ciudadanía de mercado y el modelo federal, ofrecen diversas respuestas a la pregunta acerca del significado del ideal…
Vulnerability to Forced Labour and Trafficking: The case of Romanian women in the agricultural sector in Sicily
2015
This paper focuses on labour and sexual exploitation faced by Romanian female workers employed in the agricultural sector in Ragusa, Sicily, Italy. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in 2013 and 2014 with Romanian female farm workers in Ragusa, the paper identifies factors that contribute towards their vulnerability to exploitation. By paying specific attention to the experiences of women who are mothers with dependent children, we look at structural factors that increase their vulnerability and consider how this vulnerability ‘forces’ women into situations whereby they effectively accept and/or submit to abuse. We also highlight how European Union (EU) citizenship does not automatically protec…
Sobre la concepción constructivista de la ciudadanía europea (y sus límites)
2009
En este trabajo, presentaré una concepción de la ciudadanía europea, la que ha desarrollado Teodora (o Dora) Kostakopoulou, que es capaz a la vez de: 1) demostrar el carácter no natural sino artificial de la noción de identidad cultural y política, 2) evitar la trampa de ofrecer modelos de ciudadanía análogos a los modelos estatales, inaplicables a una institución como la UE, y 3) tener en cuenta los principios democráticos de inclusión y de participación. Presentaré este modelo a través de tres etapas. En primer lugar, después de haber presentado los rasgos del constructivismo como teoría del conocimiento, intentaré determinar en que sentido se puede hablar de una concepción constructivist…

The Portuguese Man-of-War Has Always Entered the Mediterranean Sea—Strandings, Sightings, and Museum Collections
2022
A search of records from different kinds of sources namely, scientific and grey literature, social media, and zoological museum collections, has been carried out to review the incidence of Physalia physalis (Linnaeus, 1758), the Portuguese man-of-war, in the Mediterranean Sea. The temporal frame of the records, considered valid if documented with images or collected specimens, ranged from the second half of the eighteenth century to the year 2021. Thanks to colonies preserved in some Italian historical museum collections, originating from the western basin, it was possible to date the putative first documented record of P. physalis of the Mediterranean Sea in 1850. The dataset shows some ma…
