Maschilità “detenute”. Fare e disfare le maschilità in carcere
2022
Gender is a cultural product that is constructed, negotiated, performed within specific arenas equipped with peculiar symbol systems. Masculinity will be the main topic discussed in this article. Trying to question the naturalizing association of masculinity and violent conduct/crime, we will focus on the construction of an ideal masculine identity which puts emphasis on doing masculinity doing deviant behavior/crime. Finally, we will observe a specific arena – what can be defined as the field of penitentiary – in which different representations of gender compete to acquire power, to alleviate the frustration and to reconstruct their own erotic-sexual dimension. Taking that masculinity is b…
OUTSIDERS SESSUALI. LE FORME COLLETTIVE DELLA DEVIANZA SESSUALE
2019
Cos’è che rende delle specifiche condotte etichettate o etichettabbili come condotte devianti? Sulla base di quali elementi si sancisce la (a)normalità di un comportamento sessuale? Una condotta sessuale è anomala perché contraddice leggi naturali o dipende più direttamente da complicati processi di definizione sociale? E che ruolo svolge l’eterosessualità nella definizione e nella istituzionalizzazione dei regimi normativi riprodotti dalle logiche binarie quali “umano/inumano”, “naturale/innaturale”, “natura/culturasocietà”? Le forme di sessualità “devianti”, “corrotte”, “immorali” e “perverse” mostrano come le questioni della “devianza” sessuale siano da analizzare come oggetto della reaz…
The Latvian LGBT Movement and Narratives of Normalization
2019
The article examines the visibility of the LGBT community in Latvian public discourse of the last thirty years and the history of LGBT activism. Special attention is paid to the normalization of same-sex relationships: to the social processes through which ideas and actions of a social group begin crossing the threshold of deviance toward becoming “normal” and acceptable to the majority. The history of Latvian LGBT activism can be seen as a struggle for normalization of the LGBT community and overcoming the effects of its pathologization and criminalization. More than 25 years after the decriminalization of male same-sex relationships, it should be asked why the level of homophobia in socie…
Statistical relationship between hardness of drinking water and cerebrovascular mortality in Valencia: a comparison of spatiotemporal models
2003
The statistical detection of environmental risk factors in public health studies is usually difficult due to the weakness of their effects and their confounding with other covariates. Small area geographical data bring the opportunity of observing health response in a wide variety of exposure values. Temporal sequences of these geographical datasets are crucial to gaining statistical power in detecting factors. The spatiotemporal models required to perform the statistical analysis have to allow for spatial and temporal correlations, which are more easily modelled via hierarchical structures of hidden random factors. These models have produced important research activity during the last deca…
Psychological Contract Violation or Basic Need Frustration? Psychological Mechanisms Behind the Effects of Workplace Bullying
2021
Workplace bullying is a phenomenon that can have serious detrimental effects on health, work-related attitudes, and the behavior of the target. Particularly, workplace bullying exposure has been linked to lower level of general well-being, job satisfaction, vigor, and performance and higher level of burnout, workplace deviance, and turnover intentions. However, the psychological mechanisms behind these relations are still not well-understood. Drawing on psychological contract and self-determination theory (SDT), we hypothesized that perceptions of contract violation and the frustration of basic needs mediate the relationship between workplace bullying exposure and well-being, attitudinal, a…

Dal bambino maltrattato all’adolescente a rischio: il ruolo dei fattori di sviluppo nel rischio di recidiva per minori autori di reato
2019
Risk factors related to the family environment and mental distress have been identified as risk factors for deviant behaviour and delinquency during adolescence. This paper, in particular, wants to highlight the specificity of adverse childhood experiences in a sample of young prisoners at the Minor Court of Palermo. In addition to the high presence of emotional neglect and psychological and physical abuse, in this sample there are high percentages of psychopathological symptoms, significantly related to an increased risk of recidivism. The data collected will be improve the studies on the subject but also offer interesting insights for the prevention and the management of juvenile delinque…
Somatosensory Deviance Detection ERPs and Their Relationship to Analogous Auditory ERPs and Interoceptive Accuracy
2022
Abstract. Automatic deviance detection has been widely explored in terms of mismatch responses (mismatch negativity or mismatch response) and P3a components of event-related potentials (ERPs) under a predictive coding framework; however, the somatosensory mismatch response has been investigated less often regarding the different types of changes than its auditory counterpart. It is not known whether the deviance detection responses from different modalities correlate, reflecting a general prediction error mechanism of the central nervous system. Furthermore, interoceptive functions have been associated with predictive coding theory, but whether interoceptive accuracy correlates with devian…
Devianza, reazione sociale e sistemi di controllo. La lezione lemertiana
2019
Nel saggio si trattano i percorsi di ricerca di Edwin M. Lemert e la loro influenza su gran parte dei lavori successivi in tema di devianza, a partire dai lavori meno discussi nel nostro contesto accademico che trovano compimento e elaborazione matura in Devianza, problemi sociali e forme di controllo. Tenteremo di ricostruire il profilo intellettuale dello studioso, alcuni aspetti della sua biografia utili a delinearne lo sviluppo degli approcci e dei temi di ricerca e approfondiremo, in particolare, ricerche e analisi apparentemente “minori” che restituiscono alla figura di questo studioso una maggiore complessità. The essay discusses the research paths of Edwin M. Lemert and their influe…
Marihuānas dekriminalizācija Latvijā
2018
Bakalaura darba nosaukums ir “Marihuānas dekriminalizācija Latvijā”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot attieksmi par marihuānas dekriminalizāciju Latvijā, tās atbalstu un iespējamām izmaiņām dekriminalizācijas gadījumā. Darbā izmantotas kvalitatīvas pētījuma metodes - daļēji strukturētas padziļinātas intervijas un kontentanalīzes pētniecības metode. Marihuānas potenciālā dekriminalizācija pētīta no interviju un akadēmisko darbu analīzes. Šī darba teorijā apskatīta sociālās kontroles teorija, sociālās kontroles konflikta risināšana, apskatīta deviance tās kontekstā un racionālā izvēles teorija. Teorija pielietota, lai izprastu sabiedrības iemeslus dekriminalizācijas atbalstīšanā vai noraidīšanā. No…
