Chromoendoscopy: What Is Its True Value for Ulcerative Colitis Surveillance?

2010

Advanced imaging technologies are enabling targeted biopsies or endoscopic resections due to better visualization of the mucosal architecture. This new concept of ‘smart biopsies’ is in particular important for patients with higher risk for development cancer (e.g. ulcerative colitis) but can also be beneficial for screening purposes. This short review will focus on new imaging modalities like chromoendoscopy, digital chromoendoscopy, high-definition endoscopy and confocal laser endomicroscopy in the lower GI tract which will be crucial in the future to detect colorectal neoplasia earlier then before.

Una sonora improvvisata. Dalla disputa sui canti di carcere di Pitrè e Lombroso all’oralità contemporanea

2022

In questo articolo illustreremo alcuni esempi di canti di carcere riportati da Giuseppe Pitrè e Cesare Lombroso che diedero spunto a una polemica scientifica tra i due studiosi. L’analisi delle varianti che stanno alla base della disputa scientifica dei due fondatori della Demopsicologia e dell’Antropologia criminale, momento fondamentale della storia degli studi antropologici italiani dell’Ottocento, ci permetterà di comprendere come la trasmissione orale della cultura sia ancora oggi permeata dalle stesse modalità performativa che affondano le loro radici nei racconti dei miti.

Cruise tourists on the mainland. Itineraries and interactions.

2017

This study is based on fieldwork conducted using participant observation – including both direct observation of/participation in the activities of informers by the researcher, several interviews, and the analysis of pictures and various material – accomplished aboard some cruises (in the Mediterranean Sea) and on the mainland (in some of the destinations). It takes into account the case of cruise passengers who decide to self-manage a destination visit. During fieldwork, I could study some particular forms of interaction taking place on two different levels: the forms of interaction established between passengers and destinations – focusing particularly on Palermo, Italy – and the system of…

Wellness Centres on Costa Crociere Cruises: Body, Space, and Representation from an Anthropological and Linguistic perspective

2016

Many tourist services are connected to the care of the body. The tourist industry proposes different vacation opportunities where the body is the main focus of the experience. This kind of tourism implies specific services that show a particular universe of representation and particular languages. In this context, cruise tourism is an interesting case to analyze because a part of its services gives a central role to the body which, on-board, organizes and is organized within dedicated spaces and times. Cruise ships provide spaces for the wellness of the passengers such as swimming pools, gyms, spas or beauty centres. The analysis proposed in this work is based, on one hand, on a recent anth…

Cous cous teaches that love never stops!

2022

La tradizione culinaria del cous cous, originaria dei paesi del Nord Africa e del Maghreb, sbarcata in Sicilia a seguito della dominazione araba e diffusasi grazie alle attività commerciali intraprese dai pescatori siciliani, ha conquistato la cucina regionale che ne ha inaugurato una variante originale: il cous cous di pesce. L’innesto tra culture gastronomiche differenti è stato lo spunto per l’avvio di una nuova tradizione culturale, il San Vito Cous Cous Fest, un evento gastronomico/culturale all’insegna dell’integrazione tra i popoli, della convivenza pacifica, dell’arricchimento reciproco e del cibo come nutrimento dell’anima. The culinary tradition of cous cous, original from the cou…

Madre nostra delle selve. Contributo allo studio delle “Madonne degli alberi” in area euro-mediterranea

2017

Culti relativi a Madonne arboree sono attestati in tutta Europa rivelando in diversi casi, pur in presenza di trasformazioni delle prassi rituali, una persistente vitalità. La letteratura folklorica europea abbonda, inoltre, di leggende relative ad apparizioni della Vergine e a rinvenimenti di immagini mariane tra le fronde di alberi e all'interno di selve. Per altro verso relazioni iconiche, mitiche e cultuali tra alberi, boschi e divinità femminili sono ampiamente attestate preso le più antiche culture euro-mediterranee. Ripercorrendo alcune personali recenti esperienze di ricerca sul campo siciliane e cretesi discuteremo delle eventuali relazioni tra culti antichi e culti folklorici e su…

Primary identities in the lower Omo valley: migration, cataclysm, conflict and amalgamation, 1750–1910

2011

This article applies the notion of primary identity to explore the emergence of ethnic identities in the southern-most tract of the lower Omo valley. Current identities here are the result of two correlated patterns of movement that have occurred over the past 150 years: migration to the valley by organised pastoralists and scattered groups, and a general movement down the river and into the Omo delta, where the ecological niche generated by the regular flooding of the Omo River provided a rich variety of livelihood alternatives. The major migrations reported here were connected to great population movements that occurred in East Africa from the nineteenth century, often provoked by catacly…
