Rimpatriati in terra straniera: Ragonese, Capretti, Samaritano e Costantini raccontano la "jaala"
2023
La “cacciata” degli italiani dalla Libia, nel 1970, coinvolse circa 20.000 persone che, nate in Libia, si sono ritrovate improvvisamente strappate dalla quotidianità e catapultati in un'Italia a loro assolutamente estranea e solo idealmente custode della loro cultura originaria. Questo lavoro presenta, a titolo esemplificativo, alcuni testi narrativi neocoloniali e neostorici di Rita Ragonese, Luciana Capretti, Andrea Amedeo Sammartano e Roberto Costantini che raccontano delle angosce, e del profondo senso di spaesamento sofferto da migliaia di italiani rimpatriati con la forza in una patria sconosciuta. The “expulsion” of the Italians from Libya, in 1970, involved about 20,000 people who, …
Analysing Revolution-like Processes in North Africa: A Historical Perspective of the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s
2021
The recent Arab Spring (which started in 2010 and is still going on) has been considered the beginning of a transition process for some Arab countries and in particular North African countries. In the last years a bulimic production of books and articles have investigated the Arab Spring by mainly focusing on events from the 2011 onwards and/ or proposing a single narrow-minded perspective. A broader historical comparative approach is needed for investigating and underlining both similarities and differences among the different target countries and their revolutionary and/or revolutionary-like events/processes, by also contributing (and this is the aim of this article) to shed light on “und…
The Biography of the Emir 'Ali b. al-amir 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza'iri: from Damascus to Libya (1911).
2017
In the frame of the subject proposed for this 27th UEAI Congress, I have decided to deal with the presence of maghāriba in the city of Damascus during the late 19th and the early 20th century, which is what I have been focusing for some years.1 In particular, I would like to deal with the system of relationships, contacts and mutual interactions between Maghrib and Mashriq in the late Ottoman period,2 through the biography of the Algerian Emir ʿAlī b. al-amīr ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jazāʾirī, who is considered zaʿīm min zuʿamāʾ al-islām wa raʾīs min ruʾasāʾihi for the resistance that he opposed to the Italian aggression against Libya in 1911 (al-ḥarb al-ṭarābulusiyya ṣafḥa min ḥayāt al-buṭūla wa-l…
Displacement(s) and Identity in the Libyan Story "Al-Malika" by Nağwa Binšatwan
2017
In a context of political repression and social oppression like Libya used to be before the Arab Spring, the literary representation of displacement assumes a central role and sometimes becomes a metaphor of an existential condition. Starting from the analysis of some short stories taken from Al-malika by Nağwa Benshatwan – one of the most interesting voices of Libya’s Contemporary literary landscape – this paper will focus on the concept of displacement interpreted not only as a physical and/or figurative migration but also as a tool for representing personal and collective identity Dans le climat de répression politique et d’oppression sociale qui caractérise la Libye d’avant la “révoluti…
Louseborne relapsing fever in young migrants, sicily, Italy, july-september 2015
2016
To the Editor: During the early 20th century, at the end of World War I, and during World War II, louseborne relapsing fever (LBRF) caused by Borrelia recurrentis was a major public health problem, especially in eastern Europe and northern Africa (1,2). Currently, poor living conditions, famine, war, and refugee camps are major risk factors for epidemics of LBRF in resource-poor countries, such as those in the Horn of Africa (3,4). Increased migration from resource-poor countries and war/violence create new routes for spread of vectorborne diseases. Recently, several cases of LBRF have been reported among asylum seekers from Eritrea in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany (5–8). All of…
The potential sustainable development of health-related tourism in Libya and its influence on the European tourist's attraction : a study in touristi…
2017
This study focuses on sustainable development potential in the health tourism industry in Libya. It attempts to explain the difference between medical tourism and health tourism, for which the country’s natural and human resources are a veritable wealth. Our research begins with the realisation that health tourism in Libya may contribute to the economic development of the country and participate in long-term sustainable development inasmuch as it has fewer negative effects on the environment and the population. Indeed, for the last 54 years the Libyan economy has been dependent on oil. For this reason and others, we believe that sustainable development in the health tourism field is one of …
L'anfiteatro di Sabratha: vecchie indagini e nuove ricerche
2012
L’Anfiteatro di Sabratha, ignorato dai viaggiatori del XVIII e XIX secolo, venne segnalato nel 1912 da Henri Méhier de Mathuisieulx ed indagato da Renato Bartoccini a partire dal 1924. Gli scavi e le ricerche portate avanti in quegli anni permisero di rimettere in luce gran parte del monumento, che rimase tuttavia non pubblicato. Recenti scavi e ricerche hanno adesso permesso di redigere un nuovo rilievo ed un nuovo studio del monumento. Il grande edificio, realizzato in conci di calcarenite locale, venne costruito sfruttando una cava di pietra alla periferia orientale della città antica probabilmente alla metà circa del II secolo d.C. e, contrariamente a quanto finora ritenuto, venne effet…
Annotated Check-List of Orthoptera of Libya
2009
Abstract A list of Libyan Orthoptera is presented based on specimens preserved in Museums, incorporating all (previously published or unpublished) label information. Overall, 141 species are included, of which four are new records for the country. Given within “species inquirendae” are another six species, with the reasons for confirming their presence. Libya's orthopteran fauna is probably not rich, but our knowledge of it is far from exhaustive.
First breeding evidence of marbled duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris) in Libya.
2014
4 pages; International audience; The first evidence of breeding of Marbled Duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris) in Libya, North Africa, is reported. In June 2012, at Mallaha wetland, in Tripoli, Libya, two dead ducklings were found that were later genetically identified as Marbled Duck. This breeding evidence suggests that this and other duck species may breed elsewhere in Libya. Better knowledge on Libyan, and more generally on north African, waterbirds is needed to document the population size and the status of these species. Such information will be important to secure the future of threatened species, such as the Marbled Duck.
"On aika ryhtyä toimiin" : kansainväisen yhteisön keskustelu interventiosta Libyaan ja Syyriaan
2017
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää, kuinka Libyan ja Syyrian kriiseihin vastattiin kansainvälisessä yhteisössä arabikevään 2011 aikana. Tarkoituksena on tarkastella ilmiötä englantilaisen koulukunnan luoman pluralismi-solidarismi - keskustelun kautta. Pluralismi-solidarismi-keskusteluun olen sisällyttänyt oikeus- ja järjestys-kriteerit ja -retoriikat, joiden kautta tarkastelen kansainvälisen yhteisön käymiä keskusteuita. Tutkimuksen aineiston muodostavat kaksi Hillary Clintonin puhetta, yksi Sergei Lavrovin haastattelu ja puhe sekä kokoelma Euroopan parlamentin keskusteluja aikaväliltä, jona Libyan ja Syyrian kriiseistä keskusteltiin kuumimmin. Keskeiset asiat tutkimuksessani ovat kansainvä…
