Critica scientifica, popolarizzazione dell’etnografia ed etica dell’antropologo: sulla “controversia yanomami”, per esempio

2021

La “controversia sugli Yanomami” ha investito questioni centrali, tanto epistemologiche quanto etiche e politiche, per la disciplina e la pratica dell’antropologia, riguardando in particolare l’etica della ricerca sul campo; il modo di impiegare i dati di ricerca per sostenere determinate ipotesi teoriche; i rapporti tra popolarizzazione e politicizzazione delle ricerche e, più in generale, la responsabilità degli antropologi rispetto sia agli usi dei loro studi nella sfera pubblica sia nei confronti dei soggetti umani con cui lavorano. In quest’articolo esamino alcuni momenti chiave della “controversia”. In particolare provo a ricostruire il modo in cui si è inizialmente consolidata, dentr…

Espaces du quotidien et dynamiques de l’altérité pendant le confinement

2022

This study is the first result of the research entitled "Mon Espace Vécu" (My Lived Space) conducted in Italy during the first lockdown of 2020 (March-June), which was imposed by the government to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. During that period, the authors collected hundreds of textual testimonies from volunteers experiencing everyday spaces during the pandemic. The reflection, conducted from the perspective of cultural geography and cultural anthropology, develops from the analysis of some of these testimonies. Specifically, this paper focuses on the forms of semantization of space and the relationship between the body, space, and dynamic identity/otherness.

De parques y naturalezas. Enunciados, cimientos y dispositivos

2009

Beatriz.Santamarina@uv.es Desde nuestra perspectiva, los parques naturales presentan, tanto una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre los cimientos ideológicos de nuestra práctica cultural, como una invitación para poner en entredicho las políticas conservacionistas “neoliberales” presentadas y revestidas como ecológicas. Las áreas protegidas son un campo complejo de análisis, llevan procesos asociados de territorialización y desterritorialización, de homogeneización e hibridación, de terciarización, regulación y reurbanización, dentro de lo que se ha venido denominando la globalización. En este artículo abordamos la compleja expresión de los parques naturales. Para ello, nos acercaremos a las…

A "Swedish" actuarial balance sheet for a notional defined contribution pension scheme with disability and retirement benefits

2016

This paper proposes a “Swedish” type actuarial balance sheet for a notional defined contribution scheme embedding disability insurance within the retirement pension system. The underlying framework supporting the actuarial balance relies on a multistate overlapping generations model that includes the so-called survivor dividend and a minimum pension benefit for both contingencies. The proposed ABS splits the system into two parts: the actuarial part (pure NDC) and the redistributive part, which includes the assets and liabilities originating from non-contributory rights. The paper also contains a numerical example that sheds light on the real applicability of our proposal and confirms that …

How Do Unisex Life Care Annuities Embedded in a Pay-As-You-Go Retirement System Affect Gender Redistribution?

2017

This paper deals with the idea of converting retirement benefit into a life care annuity with graded benefits using a pre-existing public pay-as-you-go pension scheme. Based on accurate biometric data from Australia and the US, the paper shows that using gender-neutral annuity factors to compute the initial benefit involves a large increase in ex-ante gender redistribution compared to a system without long-term coverage. In spite of the very different biometric data, the results are surprisingly similar for both countries. To disentangle the hidden redistribution, a methodology based on conversion (actuarial) factors is used. The value of the actuarial factor relies on a multistate framewor…

Constructing Transnational Fields

2018

This chapter studies the evolving relationship between the redistribution of social resources and the structuration of institutional spaces beyond the nation-state. The author first discusses general features of transnational fields and then moves to an examination of the European Parliament as an empirical case. In this perspective, the object of this approach, transnational social fields, form the social infrastructure of globalization processes. They are historical constructions, subjected to a double historicity: the development of the position of the scholar and the development of the objects that she tries to elucidate in relation to other objects. Transnational fields enable the scho…

Economic strain and public support for redistribution : a comparative analysis of 28 European countries

2012

Author's version of an article in the journal: Journal of Social Policy. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0047279412000748 Is public support for redistribution affected by the number of people experiencing economic strain in a country? This question is investigated by comparing twenty-eight countries in the fourth round of the European Social Survey 2008-09 using two-level linear regression models. The results show that individuals reporting economic strain support redistribution more strongly than those who do not experience economic strain. Further, individuals living in countries where many other people report economic strain also support redistribution mo…
