Fatness and Consequences of Neoliberalism
2021
My aim in this chapter is to inspect how neoliberal economic policy and rationale are enmeshed with conceptions of body, gender and health in the contemporary (primarily Western) cultural sphere and how they have been addressed in research literature, particularly concerning fatness and the fat body. In recent years, the fat body has been and is a target of intensifying biopolitical control. My point of departure is that different elements of neoliberal culture have found something to latch onto and exploit in the concept of the fat body. Social institutions such as health care policies; or structures, such as health care systems; not to mention social, moral, and political orders of the da…

Marginalità, esclusione sociale e politiche di intervento. Studi e ricerche dei laboratori dei corsi di studio in servizio sociale
2022
Il volume raccoglie alcuni contributi scaturiti da attività di ricerca e didattica di due laboratori dei Corsi di studio in Servizio sociale del Dipartimento Culture e società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo: il Laboratorio Interdisciplinare di ricerca su Corpi, Diritti, Conflitti e il Laboratorio di Servizio sociale. Marginale è chi vive una condizione di estraneità e non-appartenenza al contesto sociale, chi viene a trovarsi ai margini, ai confini del sistema sociale, a distanza dai processi centrali di distribuzione delle risorse sociali, non solo materiali, a indicare che le disuguaglianze sociali sono strettamente riconducibili a gradi diversi di integrazione sociale, e che la q…
Textbooks as ‘Neoliberal artifacts’: a critical study of knowledge-making in ELT industry
2022
The present study examined the traces of neoliberal ideology in O-level English language textbooks taught in elitist private schools in Pakistan that follow the UK-based international educational system administrated by the University of Cambridge under the General Certificate of Education (GCE). Analysis in the study was informed by Fairclough's CDA writings. Moreover, Bourdieu's views on neoliberalism were also considered to shed some light on neoliberal ideology in the textbooks. Findings suggest that several neoliberal themes were evident in the textbooks under scrutiny, including marketization, consumerism, branding, celebrity culture, competition, individualism, self-responsibility an…
Neoliberalism in the Culture of Terror
2018
One of the most troubling aspects of neoliberalism is that paradoxically though it is widely used and cited in the different studies, books, and dissertation in social sciences, little is known respecting its nature. This is the reason why the present chapter theorizes on neoliberalism, its different meanings, as well as its ideological core. Today’s neoliberalism coincides with something else than the need to adopt free trade globally to curb social conflict. It traverses many other fields that are confronting neorealism. I dissect, here, not only the evolution of liberal mind through different authors and authoritative voices, but also how 9/11 and an imposed culture of fear gradually und…
Las políticas de ajuste de gasto público en Ecuador y España: ecos de pobreza y desigualdad
2020
El carácter de las crisis que azotaron a los países latinoamericanos en las pasadas décadas, y en concreto a Ecuador, es político y puede explicarse a través de una reflexión razonada. La memoria colectiva es débil en el ejercicio de sortear unos intencionados discursos que seleccionan unas realidades a la vez que disimulan otras. En este trabajo se analizará cómo las políticas macroeconómicas que privilegiaron al exterior en detrimento del mercado interno y condujeron a la crisis ecuatoriana del año 2000 han sido miméticamente reproducidas en España en las primeras décadas del siglo XXI.
Migranti e ossessione securitaria. Il razzismo e la destra in Europa
2020
In this contribution, Pirrone observes and explains how the obsession with security is the result of great manipulation by the dominant forces and how racism becomes the ideology useful for legitimizing, for the purposes of economic exploitation, the practices of underseating migrants. The world capitalist liberalism - argues the author - represents migrants as the enemies of the way of life and well-being of rich countries and building an imaginary imaginary inspired by the idea of a threatening "invasion", agreeing on the one hand to hide the defeat induced by neoliberal domination and, on the other, to regulate and collectiveize the native and foreign workforce. In particular attention t…

Feminisme neoliberal: un oxímoron?
2018
Neoliberal Feminism: An Oxymoron? Resum: En el present escrit tractem d’aproximar-nos al concepte de “feminisme neoliberal” per tal d’identificar-ne les principals caracteristiques i contradiccions. Aixi doncs, l’objectiu principal que ens plantegem tracta de discernir si es possible, atenent al context actual de desenvolupament del moviment feminista en un marc neoliberal, parlar de “feminisme neoliberal”, o si pel contrari, es tracta d’un concepte que es en si mateix un oximoron. Partint del sentit de transformacio social cap a la justicia intrinsec al moviment feminista, tractarem de veure com la logica neoliberal ha condicionat o influenciat en aquest moviment en l’actualitat. Alhora es…
