“Curious Victories”: The Famous Murder Case of Maria Barbella and Italian-American Women in the Press Between the 1890s and 1910s
2019
Immigrant women during the period of mass migration received little public attention. However, when some of them became protagonists in sensational murder cases, they burst into the public sphere. Analyzing the representation of Maria Barbella's trial in the mainstream, yellow and the Italian-American press shows how some of these invisible women were able to assert themselves in the public sphere and achieve a degree of agency despite their tragic circumstances. These women, represented as degenerate and genetically inferior in the early coverage of their cases and trials, were, over time, essentially rehabilitated in the press as “proper” American subjects as a result of the convergence o…
La mia terra è impareggiabile. Il paesaggio della memoria ne Las novelas de Agata di Antonio Dal Masetto
2019
Una delle possibili chiavi di lettura per comprendere il valore del paesaggio come riferimento identitario è quella del ruolo che interpreta la memoria di un luogo che è ‘appartenuto’ all’individuo che lo abbandonato, rafforzando, nel ricordo, il legame con esso. Questo processo di rielaborazione memoriale del paesaggio è spesso al centro delle creazioni narrative delle cosiddette scritture della migrazione. Se da un lato, al tempo della nostra grande emigrazione, molti Italiani sembravano essersi ben inseriti all’interno della società del paese di accoglienza, dall’altro alcuni percepivano la nuova realtà in un modo ben diverso che si scontrava con le difficoltà dell’integrazione, con una …
The Assassination of Lieutenant Joe Petrosino: A Contested Symbol in the Mainstream and Italian-American Press in the Early 20th Century
2023
Recently, scholars have looked at the ethnic press through a social constructionist lens, examining the process through which immigrants developed a sense of identity and the role of print culture in forming “imagined communities” (Anderson). Here, I analyze the coverage of the 1909 assassination of police Lieutenant Petrosino in both mainstream and Italian-American press and popular culture. This shocking event ignited a debate over the nature and origin of the Mafia and the dangerousness of the Italian community, a debate involving discourses of racial difference, immigration restriction, and the capability of Italians to assimilate. This debate became an important arena in which Italian …
Mémoire de l’émigration et identité italienne à l’heure de l’immigration. Introduction
2017
International audience; Cet ouvrage, fruit d’une journée d’étude organisée le 22 mai 2015 à l’Université de Bourgogne, se propose de réfléchir sur la situation spécifique de l’Italie qui, de terre d’émigration qu’elle était, est devenue aujourd’hui une terre d’immigration de masse. Si la « crise migratoire » actuelle est un problème européen, tous les pays de l’Union n’appréhendent pas le sujet dans les mêmes termes, souvent en raison d’un passé différent. L’Italie, première terre d’accueil des migrants sur ses côtes, se distingue de nombre de ses voisins, en particulier la France et l’Allemagne, par son expérience récente de l’immigration, elle qui a connu auparavant pendant un siècle ce q…
The effect of education on migration: evidence from school reform
2010
A polytechnic, higher education reform took place in Finland in the 1990s. It gradually transformed former vocational colleges into polytechnics and expanded higher education to all Finnish regions. We implement instrumental variables estimators that exploit the exogenous variation in the regional availability of polytechnic education together with matriculation exam scores. Our IV results show that polytechnic graduates have a higher migration probability than those of vocational college graduates. However, a master’s degree did not increase migration propensity in comparison with a polytechnic degree. We also find that an increase in the availability of polytechnic education did not reduc…
Satisfacción laboral de los asalariados en España
2012
El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los factores determinantes del nivel de satisfacción laboral de los asalariados en España, haciendo especial hincapié en las diferencias de género y de nacionalidad. Para ello, se estima un modelo de respuesta múltiple ordenada, utilizando los datos de la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida en el Trabajo, para el período que abarca desde 2006 a 2010. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, después de controlar por las características personales y laborales de los asalariados, se obtiene un diferencial positivo en la satisfacción laboral en favor de las mujeres, mientras que no se evidencia la existencia de un efecto diferencial entre los asalariados nativos…
Labor market participation, employability and and basic skills: the French case
2013
En ligne sur http://cemapre.iseg.utl.pt/educonf/2e3/files/submissions_to_web/Branche-Seigeot%20Aline.doc; The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the important technological but also organizational innovations during the last decades have transformed the labor market and the jobs nature. One major consequence of this on employment has been the gradual rise in qualifications' structure sought and demanded by employers. However, the expansion of higher education contributed to depreciate diplomas proportionately more widespread in the labor market due to a greater skills' heterogeneity of their owners. Since high basic skills levels protect against unemployment…
About the journey. Stasis, chiasmus and interruptions A geography essay
2022
The journey is a very stimulating function to read the congeries of relationships that intersect and signify the bonds of men with places. A device that activates, in Geography, different heuristic perspectives. The first chapter then aims at being part of the epistemological debate on the function of journey intended as a complex action through which relationships between man and space are strengthened and the fundamental cognitive processes are activated. In particular, in the first chapter, we want to foster a consideration on the tripartite scan that has the terminal outcome in the journey: stasis, trigger, experience. The second chapter then follows some literary suggestions to try to …
"Jest typem dość sympatycznym". Józef Retinger i wywiad cywilny PRL
2020
Józef Retinger is one of the most colourful, and at the same time puzzling, figures in the recent history of Poland. During the Second World War, he was a political advisor and grey eminence to the head of the Polish government, General Władysław Sikorski, and after the war he remained in exile. He was very active in promoting European unity. He founded the politically influential Bilderberg Group. He was suspected of being a British intelligence agent. He was also accused of working for the secret services of several other states, and of being a freemason. In the second half of the 1950s, the ntelligence service of the PRL took an interest in Retinger. This is a little-known episode in Ret…
Germany, Russia and the polish cause in Jędrzej Giertych's Articles in the Parisian monthly "Horyzonty" (1956–1971)
2018
The liberalisation of the communist system in the mid-1950s, disillusionment with the policy of the West, fears connected with West German revisionism, and dwindling chances of change in the situation of Central and Eastern Europe contributed to diverse attitudes among Polish emigrants. Some of them, notably among the nationalists, voiced the need to seek compromise with Russia. This led to the emergence of a pro-Russian faction alongside the still dominant pro-Western one. The thesis of the need for an alliance with Russia was propagated by Jędrzej Giertych in his writing in the Paris-based monthly Horyzonty. This ideologically committed opponent of communism and staunch Catholic was at th…
