DIRITTI UMANI UNIVERSALI E SFIDE EDUCATIVE INTERCULTURALI NELLA TARDA EPOCA DELLA MODERNITÀ
2018
L’attuale fase storica post-moderna è attraversata da profonde trasformazioni globali. Notiamo, soprattutto nei paesi di antica tradizione, come l’Italia, l’affermarsi di nuove idee sovrane di democrazia maggioritaria, le quali rivendicano il diritto della maggioranza di decidere a prescindere dai vincoli giuridici internazionali istituiti dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. A tal riguardo, nel mese di dicembre del 2018 si è celebrato il 70esimo anniversario della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani, adottata nel dicembre del 1948 dall’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite. Dal punto di vista della riflessione pedagogica, sappiamo che l’Assemblea delle Nazioni Unite ha posto in rilievo…
Le migrazioni fra storia, politica e scienze sociali. Note introduttive
2018
INDICE L’immigrazione è un tema al centro del dibattito pubblico, spesso oggetto di aspre contese, di differenti visioni del mondo. Comunque la si veda, le migrazioni sono una costante storica, non una mera eccezione. Il loro presentarsi in modo massivo ha carattere ciclico e la multiculturalità delle nostre società è una realtà con la quale fare i conti. Interrogarsi sul tema dell’immigrazione significa anzitutto porsi delle domande su cosa dobbiamo intendere con termini quali potere politico, cittadinanza, territorio, identità, tolleranza, convivenza fra culture differenti e fra soggetti semplicemente accomunati dal fatto di essere, allo stesso modo, umani. Nel tentare di rispondere a que…
DISTRIBUTING RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN SHIPMASTERS AND THE DIFFERENT STATES INVOLVED IN SAR DISASTERS
2019
The duty to save life at sea can today be considered a rule of general inter- national law. However, the concept of “duty to save life at sea” hides a complex web of international regulations, scattered across several treaties providing obli- gations both for shipmasters and a plurality of States (namely flag States, coastal States, States receiving distress signals, etc.). This paper addresses the question of the respective responsibility of the different subjects involved in search and res- cue activities. After a short introduction to the evolution of international law in this field, the paper investigates the relationship between shipmasters and States. This first part of the study show…

Sezione monografica. La cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo. Costruire sull’esperienza
2018
La propensione per lo studio delle specificità culturali ha fatto dell’antropologia una delle discipline direttamente interessate ai processi di mutamento pianificato. L’attenzione per la cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo e alle sue ricadute professionali è stata ben presente nell’antropologia italiana e all’interno dei convegni SIAA, ma il dibattito in seno all’associazione è rimasto per il momento sottodimensionato rispetto a un altro ambito di grande interesse pubblico, la migrazione dai paesi affetti da conflitti e povertà verso l’Europa e al ruolo che gli antropologi possono svolgere nelle politiche di accoglienza.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF “GENERATION 1.5” IN ITALY: THE IMPACT OF MIGRATION
2019
The present doctoral thesis is the result of the research activities conducted as a part of my PhD at the Department of Human Rights at Università degli Studi di Palermo. The research aimed to examine the impact the fact of migration has on the situation with domestic violence in the context of migrants of Generation 1.5 in Italy. Migrant families in Europe are increasingly experiencing domestic violence and as they represent a vulnerable and marginalised part of the society, it makes researching of the phenomenon challenging. The “Generation 1.5” – people who migrated at the age of 5-19 years, whether it’s with their families or following their family on the family reunification procedure …
Au-delà de la frontière : la Charte de Lampedusa, un exemple de réécriture des droits contre la logique de l’enfermement
2015
The paper describes the elaboration of the Charter of Lampedusa. It focuses on the political and geopolitical upheavals of 2014, paying particular attention to the evolving humanitarian-military devices of border management and controls deployed in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Borders are analyzed not only with respect to their function of geographic separation, but also as social, cultural, and economic markers. The objectives and limits of the Charter are explored in light of its capacity to represent an alternative vision against the political, economic, social and cultural predominant model in Europe. It is argued that this model needs to be completely restructured. The alternative visi…
