Before and after Science. Radcliffe-Brown e la questione dei rapporti tra metodi di ricerca sul campo, etnografia e teoria
2020
Nella prima parte del capitolo, mi occupo del periodo iniziale della carriera di Radcliffe-Brown che precede la pubblicazione, nel 1922, del suo celebre scritto, di carattere programmatico, su I metodi dell’etnologia e dell’antropologia sociale. Questo periodo di formazione è segnato dal rapporto con Haddon e Rivers, dalle due esperienze di ricerca sul campo nelle isole Andamane e tra gli aborigeni australiani, e dalla riflessione critica sul modello di scienza sociale proposto da Durkheim, riguardante in particolare le teorie formulate da quest’ultimo a proposito dei tipi di morfologia sociale e del ruolo di integrazione sociale svolto dalle credenze e dai rituali religiosi nelle “società …
W stronę socjologicznego ujęcia etyki badań naukowych
2016
Zgodnie z tezą, że kompetencje etyczne stanowią ważną cechę kompetencji merytorycznych badaczy terenowych, a doświadczane przez nich dylematy etyczne mają charakter dylematów metodologiczno-teoretycznych, autorzy artykułu naświetlają problem połączenia refleksji etycznej z paradygmatem socjologii jakościowej. Argumentują, że wydzielenie jej jako specjalności normatywnej i filozoficznej, która dominuje w kodeksach etycznych, niesie ze sobą zagrożenie traktowania jej w inny sposób niż pozostałe zagadnienia obecne w socjologicznych badaniach i refleksjach oraz może prowadzić do istotnej straty poznawczej. Autorzy podkreślają możliwość i potrzebę rozwijania etyki badań w paradygmacie socjologii…

Everyday uses of standardized test information in a geriatric setting : a qualitative study exploring occupational therapist and physiotherapist test…
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: BMC Health Services Research. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-14-72 Open Access Background: Health professionals are required to collect data from standardized tests when assessing older patients' functional ability. Such data provide quantifiable documentation on health outcomes. Little is known, however, about how physiotherapists and occupational therapists who administer standardized tests use test information in their daily clinical work. This article aims to investigate how test administrators in a geriatric setting justify the everyday use of standardized test information. Methods. Qualitative s…
Il senso del vivere, ovvero la vita come oggetto di studio antropologico
2017
Si può considerare l’esistenza un campo antropologico a tutti gli effetti? È fuor di luogo parlare di campo – esotizzante o meno che sia – a proposito di esistenza? Quali strumenti teorici utilizzare al fine di cogliere il senso dell’esistenza? In questo saggio, si focalizza l’attenzione sulla nozione di esistenza e sulle componenti che la caratterizzano in relazione ad altre nozioni ugualmente importanti in antropologia quali cultura, esperienza, potere, sapere, etc. Il tentativo è di trovare risposte mettendo a fronte questioni centrali in antropologia in modo non oppositivo bensì per tratti continui e/o discontinui: ‘religione come senso quieto del vivere’ e ‘ribellione ai codici dominan…
Going beyond a conflict of approaches in psychiatric care: the perks of interdisciplinary research
2021
International audience; Our research studied the interactions between mental health care (MHC) professionals and users in French public psychiatry, focusing on the “tools” which professionals use in their interactions with users. We draw a typology of four main "therapeutic styles" in relation to tool use;1- Absence of identifiable tools. Interaction is personalized and improvised. 2- Use of rituals and habits. 3- Use of methods that have otherwise been written and formalized.4- Use of tools, be they written or computerized, protocols guiding the interactions, or strictly standardized tools.The psychologist involved in the research (HH) intends to show how the practice of interdisciplinary …
Performing ethnography and ethnicity : an early documentation of Finnish immigrants in Nordiska museet
2010
This article discusses the first project of the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, dealing with immigrants. It was carried out between 1972 and 1990, and it produced material based on interviews, participant observation, photographs and other written and visual sources. The article first examines why and how this extensive research project was carried out and then discusses the documentation project as performance. The project was an early attempt to document the contemporary lives of people through fieldwork, although the original aim of this pioneering project was merely to create and preserve ethnic identity by documenting “authentic” Finnish characteristics. Thus, it is a good example …
La ricerca sul campo come extraordinary experience. Una proposta di ricerca multidisciplinare
2010
Reflexive criticism focused its attention on writing texts, neglecting the experience of observation, on which the practice of field research is built, and it rarely paid attention to the experience of researchers. The triple relationship established between the anthropologist, the world and the “other” reveals the deep interrelation between the three levels of this “complex isotopy”. This essay addresses the problem of how a person can interact with another within the ethnographic practice. Ethnographic research doesn’t consist only in dialogues but also in bodily experiences that have a key role in the production of ethnographic representations. Experiential anthropologists believe that w…
Ricerche a Solunto (2022)
2023
New Investigations at Solunto (2022) ∙ The last fieldwork campaign in Solunto by the University of Palermo, in the sanctuary above the theatre and in the baths near the agora (the North Baths), obtained some relevant results concerning both the building sequences and the architectural configurations. In the sanctuary, a clearer picture is emerging of the oldest layout, dating from the 4th century B.C. (1st phase). After the first reshaping of the street grid and of the urban layout (2nd phase), in the second half of 2nd century B.C., an overall restyling (3rd phase) gave the whole sanctuary area an impressive organization into terraces linked through ramps and stairways. A striking feature,…
