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…

Il dono e la festa. Strategie relazionali per un’estetica politica

2021

Attraverso l’analisi di alcuni progetti artistici partecipativi (Alÿs; González-Torres; Tiravanija; Studio Azzurro) che si incentrano sui concetti di dono e di festa, il saggio mira a dimostrare come la relazione tra individui possa essere il fondamento per un’estetica politica. Il termine “politica” è da intendersi, in riferimento a Platone e Aristotele, come mutua cooperazione nello spazio della pólis, mentre il termine estetica si richiama all’idea di aisthesis, cioè una teoria della sensibilità. In questa prospettiva teorica le arti che si incentrano sul dono e sulla festa attivano strategie relazionali utili a sviluppare quella sensibilità che attraverso la cura e l’attenzione per l’al…

Secular Religion as a Tool for the Realization of Democratic Citizenship. The Thesis of John Dewey (1859-1952)

2021

This contribution aims to propose a critical reflection on a particularly complex theme for international pedagogical literature: religion. This will be done through a constant dialogue with John Dewey, a philosopher and pedagogist of American origin who, in addition to having dedicated himself to philosophical, political and pedagogical issues, has had interesting reflections on the religious phenomenon. Therefore, attention will be turned to such of his writings as Moral Theory and Practice of 1891, in which Dewey treated the religious question implicitly, wondering about human conduct and the need for it to be oriented by a morality that directed the individual towards the exercise of th…

Comunità

2022

This volume questions the community both as an increasingly emerging educational need in the post-modern societies, and as a human and universal vocation. To clarify the current oblivion of the sense of a community ethic, that especially distinguishes the new generations, educational practices and pedagogical theories are reconstructed that, throughout history, have favored a community tone. Finally, the gaze is turned to those educational challenges that today it is not possible to ignore in view of the formation of a community citizenship: individualism, materialism, virtual realities, multiculturalism. These are some tendencies that orient young people towards lonely lifestyles and that …
