Violence as a Subject of Social Science I The Specificity of Political Violence
2021
In contrast to the world's uniformity all types of violence are observed: urban violence, in poor countries where conflicts are incomprehensible from outside, violence which surface is religious in countries of Muslim tradition, fundamentalist violence, nationalist, racist; violence in the world system which accepts the growing difference between poor and rich. Judiciary violence in executions in States that seem the principal warrantors of social peace. There is violence throughout the globe and under surveillance by the great power. It could be said that the global system tolerates a certain “reserve of violence” and obtains certain profits, as well as the economy tolerates certain extent…
La rinascita della guerra giusta
Il concetto di “guerra giusta” figura in una serie di riflessioni nel diritto internazionale e viene riferita all’uso legittimo della forza militare, così come è previsto nella Carta delle Nazioni Unite. Rinasce dalle sfide della storia contemporanea e possiamo coglierne i significati soltanto analizzando alcuni contesti storici nei quali ricorre e svelando, a partire da questi, le ragioni e i limiti della sua reviviscenza. Sebbene la guerra sia stata messa al bando dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, se escludiamo la guerra del Vietnam, non possiamo dimenticare orrori recenti per cui le forze occidentali sono dovute intervenire: massacri e pulizia etnica in Bosnia e Kosovo, Ruanda, Sudan, Sie…

Empire and Democracy. A critical reading of Michael Ignatieff
2013
Empires expand their hegemony combined two contrasting forces; one is violence the second is characterized by persuasion. Ideology works in these contexts, as an efficient instrument of self-indoctrination whereby dominated cultures accept the cultural matrix of empire. In this vein, the present essay-review not only questions the employment of human rights in the liberal thought, but also tries to respond to the conceptual problems of liberalism to understand terrorism. Based on two seminal texts written by the liberal Michael Ignatieff, we formulate the thesis that liberalism supports the war against terror because of its doctrine of self-determination.

The Holocaust and the birth of Israel in British, Swedish and Finnish press discourse, 1947–1948
2009
This article examines the way in which the Holocaust was linked to the process of the birth of Israel between 1947 and 1948 in the mainstream British, Swedish and Finnish press. By utilising a framework of comparative cultural history, this essay seeks to understand why different countries responded to the suffering of the Jews during the Second World War in such diverse ways. This essay also seeks to question the popular belief that the two events were intimately linked, and that the link was recognised in a straightforward manner. Hence, the study argues that although the press coverage sometimes managed to establish the connection between the two events, more typically the news was domes…
Terrorist Masculinities: Political Masculinity between Fiction, Facts, and Their Mediation
2018
This essay proposes that terrorism manifests itself in a relation that encompasses masculinity as well as the media. The origin of this relationship is the joint performativity of gender and acts of terror. This makes terrorism an instrument of social and political change. But in order to legitimize themselves, terrorism as well as masculinity require authorization by a phantasmagorical power. Drawing on the dominance of males among terrorists, this essay will look at an early depiction of terrorism in Conrad’s The Secret Agent, a contemporary representation in Sahota’s novel Ours Are the Streets and terrorism’s real manifestation in the Paris carnage of November 2015. It will show that in…
COVID-19, Terrorism, and Conspiracy Plot: Everyone Is Guilty Until Proven Innocent
2021
COVID-19 is reaffirming the tendency of nation-states to find imaginary enemies when hit with a crisis—enemies to whom its origins and perpetuation could be attributed. This is needed for their unity and survival. However, a strong and serious global pandemic like COVID-19 would need the identification of strong and serious enemies. This is a dangerous proposition if taken to anywhere beyond rhetoric. China is identified as the antagonist; yet, a real confrontation with China would cause more harm than what COVID-19 might cause. It is essential that we lead the world toward a new war, “against a virus”. This chapter reflects the problem of hospitality, as strongly associated with conspiracy…

Mobilità, sicurezza e nuove frontiere tecnologiche
2018
Mobilità, sicurezza e nuove frontiere tecnologiche sono settori che hanno ormai assunto un ruolo trainante nell’evoluzione/trasformazione del diritto penale e processuale penale dei paesi occidentali, e segnatamente di quelli europei. Su di essi si è incentrato un Modulo Jean Monnet svolto, tra il 2015 e il 2018, presso il Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza dell’Università di Palermo, che ha visto alternarsi, in qualità di relatori, tanto esperti di caratura internazionale quanto giovani studiosi e dottorandi. Questo libro contiene alcuni dei loro contributi: una raccolta che, se certo non esaurisce la trattazione della varietà e complessità di profili che ciascuno dei tre ambiti problematici p…
