Co-designing a social media service for civic participation
2010
User participation in social media design processes has similarities with civic participation for example in urban planning. Internet enables new virtual environments that can be planned collaboratively and be used for civic participation. In the Monimos case study we developed a social media website for immigrants and multicultural associations in a participatory design process together with the users. In this paper we present the critical issues in co-designing a social media service that aims at civic participation. We also give suggestions for how to cope with the challenges in a multicultural participation process. We claim that constant meta-level discussion about the goals and partic…

A Chain of Words as an Introduction: Human Dignity, Language, Identity, Citizenship, Values, Human Capital and Urban Spaces
2022
To analyze the issue of cities-migrants interactions, as well as social-monetary values interactions, it is necessary to place it in a “higher” context, in order not to risk losing the necessary connection with universal ethical principles, and in a “broader” one, in which understanding complexity on a global scale interprets local conditions. The study of migration flows and urban dynamics, as well as housing markets, through theoretical paradigms and scientific tools from different disciplines provides an opportunity to learn and compare, dialogue and interface with new keys to understanding the problem, or with alternative interpretations and unprecedented perspectives in the path of mul…
Diritti fondamentali e violenza sulle donne
2016
L’autrice affronta il delicato tema della violenza sulle donne strettamente connesso a quello della soggettività giuridica quale concetto storicamente segnato dall’idea del soggetto astratto di diritto in grado di riassumere le molteplicità delle individualità umane, neutralizzandole al suo interno. Richiamati i principi e valori che ispirano i testi di rango primario sia interni che sovranazionali a partire dalla nostra Costituzione, e dopo una breve disamina degli interventi realizzati dal legislatore in ambito di diritto di famiglia e delle persone, l’attenzione si concentra sulle diverse forme in cui la violenza sulle donne si manifesta nei diversi contesti sociali e culturali. La solle…
Al di là del diritto penale: exit strategy dalla radicalizzazione
2018
The work aims to demonstrate the importance of a non-repressive use of criminal law in the fight against radicalization. We need a counter-narrative of criminal law that must become a tool for protecting women to counteract the use of cultural excuses against women
I vescovati nella Sicilia normanna (secc. XI-XIII). Potestà normative e competenze giurisdizionali in un territorio multiculturale
2022
In Sicilia, durante l’età normanna (1060-1194), la progressiva costruzione di un rinnovato apparato politico-istituzionale, cominciata a partire dalla conquista dell’isola, si svolse in parallelo con la ricostituzione dei distretti diocesani, definitivamente scomparsi a seguito del plurisecolare dominio musulmano. Questa monografia racchiude i risultati di una ricerca condotta con l’obiettivo di analizzare complessivamente le fonti superstiti relative ai vescovati siciliani, a partire dalla fine dell’XI secolo sino alle soglie del mutamento dinastico che sancì l’avvento dell’età sveva. Nonostante la disomogeneità dei dati a disposizione, emerge come nel corso di poco più di un secolo, il ru…
Libertà e diritti tra India e Europa. Per un approccio genealogico ai valori culturali
2009
Freedom and Rights between India and Europe. A Genealogical Approach to Cultural Values - This paper will deal with the issue of human rights and multiculturalism away from cultural relativism and universalism while taking inspiration from Nietzsche’s Moral Genealogy. In particular, the concepts of karma, dharma and trivarga (an indian traditional form of particularism in the law) will be explained as they are expressed in the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most important texts of Indian philosophical literature. From this analysis it will emerge the impossibility of deducing the idea of human rights from the Sanskrit text. Not because the Bhagavad Gita adopts a communitarian conception of the s…
