Sistema mafioso e anticomunità. Percorsi per leggere le comunità criminali.
2018
The studies on to mafia feeling take sprout from reflections, bibliographical searches and workshop conducted by a group teachers of the athenaeum of Palermo at the end of the years ’80. The incipit from which the authors have departed is that in Sicily the attitude towards the mafia crime it constitutes a ‘cultural theme’, consequential from the inner of transpersonal relationships typical of the social context and above all family in which the subjects in evolutionary age are found. This contribution get up from the psyco-pedagogic theme of the education and the development of community in criminal contexts, in a society without values that it loses the same sense of community and affilia…

Communicative Strategies from Cyberfemism: @Feminismosmad and the Twitter Diffusion of the 8m Strike in Madrid
2020
Resumen Tanto desde el ámbito académico como desde el movimiento feminista se discute el alcance y la relevancia de las nuevas herramientas digitales para la subversión de la agenda, el cambio en los sistemas políticos occidentales y, en suma, el fin de las desigualdades entre géneros (Zafra, 2011; Núñez Puente, 2011). Mediante un análisis cuantitativo y entrevistas semiestructuradas, estudiamos el uso de Twitter por parte de @FeminismosMad.

Abstract The scope and relevance of new digital tools for subverting the do…
What Purpose, if any, could a Feminine Theory of Education serve Today?
2015
The aim of this paper is to depict the contours of a feminine theory of education within the epistemological framework of phenomenology. Actually, in spite of the fact that a widespread appeal to the many aspects of feminist epistemology has so far been developed mainly in other branches of human sciences as well in many studies of the history of education and pedagogical methods, considerable benefits can be gained also for the sake of a theory of education. It is argued that the seminal project of Women Studies – fighting women’s invisibility and exclusion also from the work of producing thought – together with the phenomenological account of personhood and, in particular, of human body c…

Family and Affective Models in Children's Literature. An Approach from the Texts for Early Readers at Valencian Schools
2015
Abstract In previous researches we have offered a panoramic view about the presence of family structures different from the traditional one in children's literature, (Oltra Albiach, 2011), about the (shy) presence of protagonists with homo-parent, single- parent families reconstructed or intercultural in children's titles and about the publications of these characteristics in the literature for first readers that have seen the light in recent years (Oltra Albiach & Pardo Coy, 2013). It is noted that the introduction of these literatures in initial schools remains in general a pending matter, especially if we take into account that it is an ideal level to prevent and treat stereotypes and pr…
Growing Up to Belong Transnationally: Parent Perceptions on Identity Formation Among Latvian Emigrant Children in England
2019
AbstractAs a result of the wide availability of social media, cheap flights and free intra-EU movement it has become considerably easier to maintain links with the country of origin than it was only a generation ago. Therefore, the language and identity formation among children of recent migrants might be significantly different from the experiences of children of the previous generations. The aim of this paper is to examine the perceptions of parents on the formation of national and transnational identity among the ‘1.5 generation migrant children’ – the children born in Latvia but growing up in England and the factors affecting them. In particular, this article seeks to understand whether…

Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance
2015
Unlike what is usually assumed, racism is neither a phenomenon of the past nor exclusive to other latitudes. As Wieviorka points out (2009, p. 15), today there has been a surprising return of racism, even in societies that could be expected to be ridding themselves of it. Until the 1960s, the outlook clearly seemed optimistic, as the prevailing idea was that political and economic progress would end up burying phenomena of this type. This hypothesis, however, was soon revealed to be overly optimistic. Racism currently exists in European societies, and it is one of the great challenges of their present and future. Therefore, regardless of future social evolution, it is likely that European s…
