Indicadores de calidad para analizar la información televisiva sobre grupos minoritarios. El caso de “El ángel rubio”

2015

Este estudio propone una evaluación de la calidad periodística utilizando indicadores interculturales y códigos deontológicos. Para ello se observa la cobertura televisiva internacional, ofrecida por las televisiones públicas europeas BBC, TF 2 France, RAI 1 y TVE 1 en el período del 19 al 22 de octubre de 2013, de la historia conocida mediáticamente como “el ángel rubio”: la aparición de una niña en un campamento gitano en Grecia, en un presunto caso de tráfico de menores o de un secuestro. Se constata que la información se aleja de los estándares de calidad y contribuye a la estigmatización de los gitanos y a la etnificación del delito.

Finnishness, Whiteness and Coloniality

2022

This multidisciplinary volume reflects the shifting experiences and framings of Finnishness and its relation to race and coloniality. The authors centre their investigations on whiteness and unravel the cultural myth of a normative Finnish (white) ethnicity. Rather than presenting a unified definition for whiteness, the book gives space to the different understandings and analyses of its authors. This collection of case-studies illuminates how Indigenous and ethnic minorities have participated in defining notions of Finnishness, how historical and recent processes of migration have challenged the traditional conceptualisations of the nation-state and its population, and how imperial relatio…

Colpevolezza attenuata in un caso dubbio di motivazione culturale

2008

L'articolo parte dalla vicenda di un cittadino italiano di origine sarda, condannato dal tribunale tedesco di Bueckeburg con un giudizio attenuato di responsabilità in ragione delle "impronte culturali dell'imputato", per esaminare (anche in chiave comparatistica) i rapporti tra condizionamento culturale e principio di colpevolezza.

Città plurali e ridisegno della cittadinanza: il trasversale gioco dei saperi e le responsabilità disciplinari

2010

Il tema della definizione di forme di convivenza all'interno della città multietnica è oggi un obiettivo prioritario. Il dibattito disciplinare, ancorato più alle discipline sociologiche e appena accennato nelle pratiche pianificatorie, ha messo in evidenza i focus prioritari di ricerca su conflitti e riconoscimento dei diritti, uguaglianza e tutela delle differenze, ruolo dello spazio pubblico nell’integrazione, variabilità dei processi insediativi e innanzi tutto la centralità del tema della cittadinanza nelle strategie ed azioni di piano, da praticare attraverso processi locali di partecipazione

The Undesired Other

2019

Over the recent years, the theme of abortion has set in the agenda of many countries. Although the abortion law was already present in France, the US and the UK, in some other countries the law was recently sanctioned just after the 2000s. This chapter deals with the problem of hospitality in the days of terrorism. From different angles, this chapter explores the question of abortion and the ideas of hospitality and multiculturalism, points that modern terrorism has instilled as necessary debates. We hold the thesis that the modern self has serious problems to understand the alterity when it confronts the own desires. The right of legal abortion should be framed as a decline of hospitality,…
