Le organizzazioni internazionali europee fra promozione dei diritti umani e diritto umanitario
2020
This essay aims at critically summarizing the role played by the European Union and the Council of Europe with regard to both the promotion of human rights and humanitarian law following the second world war (para. 2 and 3). The idea is submitted that such a role is currently far from being so active as it was until the end of the '90. A similar conclusion stems from the fact that both the recent case law of the European Court and the recent case law of the Court of Justice (as well as the practice concerning the external relations of the EU in the field of migrations) display a clear tendency not to contribute to the development of the international or the european legal regime of human ri…
Violenze e venefici. Narrazioni dell’Acqua Tofana (Roma, sec. XVII)
2020
Il contributo affronta il tema della violenza subita e agita dalle donne entro la relazione coniugale e le strategie di narrazione che producono le attrici sociali e le istituzioni; in particolare sono al centro dell'analisi quelle narrazioni che hanno un'eco pubblica e che contribuiscono a veicolare una discorsività che si fa azione e legittimazione.
Early pastoral communities in the mountains of Sicily. Prehistoric evidence from Vallone Inferno (Scillato) in the palaeoenvironmental framework of t…
2021
Abstract This paper discusses the Middle Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age phases of the occupation of a rock shelter at Vallone Inferno (Scillato, Palermo) in Sicily. Vallone Inferno is a key site for studying the early establishment and development of pastoralism in the prehistoric mountainous environments of Sicily. Seasonal use of the site as a shelter is documented for the earliest pastoral communities that exploited the Madonie mountain range. The results of the analysis of pottery and lithic assemblages contribute to the definition of two chronocultural frameworks that were linked by the same economic subsistence base. The special role of obsidian emerges, while the mobility pattern…
New data on Sicilian prehistoric and historic evolution in a mountain context, Vallone Inferno (Scillato, Italy)
2013
Vallone Inferno rock-shelter is an archaeological site located in the Madonie mountain range in Sicily. Archaeological excavation and research have provided a long prehistoric and historic sequence from the Neolithic to the medieval period, this being the most complete work in this area at present. In this paper we present the preliminary data provided by a multidisciplinary study based on pottery, lithic, human, faunal and plant remains. Stratigraphic studies have identified four complexes, of which complex 3 has provided almost all the archaeological remains. 14C AMS dates, obtained from four samples, place the human activities between 2601 cal BC and 644 cal AD. These dates are coherent …
Estetiche della verità. Pasolini, Foucault, Petri
2020
Se dovessimo individuare una parola chiave per descrivere il presente, verità sarebbe una candidata molto quotata. Assistiamo oggi a un’indiscutibile fascinazione per la verità: escono ogni giorno accorati appelli per ritrovare una verità delle parole, nonché una continua rincorsa a esibire una verità dei gesti e dei sentimenti, dei comportamenti e dei pensieri. Ma come mai in un’epoca definita “post-veritiera” l’influenza del termine verità è ancora così forte? Questo libro analizza alcune immagini che hanno a che fare con la verità, quelle che si sono conformate alla sua presunta immediatezza – a partire dai reality show e dai social network, i grandi dispositivi confessionali di oggi – e…
La mauresque sur scène et les contacts musico-teatraux entre l'Italie et la ville de Dubrovnik au XVIe siècle
2019
The moresca, and the related forms of weapon dance, either spread in the Mediterranean basin or in several countries of Central and Southern Europe, was a kind of 16-century choreography. Born as a battle between Saracens and Christian knights, this dance inspired different kinds of mimic spectacle that served as a part of comedies and pastoral plays. The article analyses the relationship between the moresca intermingled in the pastorals of Dubrovnik and Siena, both marked by a strong presence of dances, songs and choruses to increase the fantastic and sentimental emphasis of the performances. Both Dubrovnik’s and Italian’s plays were characterized by shepherds, nymphs, and rustic men (the …
Traveling shepherds. Transhumance in Sardinia and Sicily between historical dynamics, today’s practices and future prospects
2018
In Sardinia and Sicily, transhumance has been an important economic and socio-cultural device. Pastoral mobility has disappeared in the first region, and recently it is receiving increased attention as touristic and identity object; in Sicily, although re-dimen- sioned, it is still a vital practice. The intervention is meant to reflect on the historical dynamics, on today’s dimension and on the future perspectives of transhumance, also in relation to Italy’s recent request to UNESCO to recognize this practice as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Recensione di Cammini di uomini, cammini di animali. Transumanze, pastoralismi e patrimoni bio-culturali
2018
La transumanza è una pratica che, per lungo tempo, ha orientato le strategie economiche di molte comunità, contribuendo a definirne non solo la dimensione produttiva ma anche quella politica, paesaggistica e socioculturale. Su questo complesso e articolato universo hanno riflettuto in Molise, nel novembre del 2016, studiosi di diversa formazione e di differenti ambiti disciplinari, le cui relazioni sono confluite in un volume curato da Katia Ballacchino e Letizia Bindi, Cammini di uomini, cammini di animali. Transumanze, pastoralismi e patrimoni bio-culturali, che ha il merito di restituire la multiforme realtà del pastoralismo e della mobilità pastorale in diverse zone della Penisola.

When the Past Makes Saints: The Knights of Malta from Sinners to Martyrs in "Il glorioso trionfo della sacrosanta religion militare di S. Giovanni Gi…
2022
After the fall of Rhodes (1522), the Order of St. John needed to recover its reputation as militia Christi and to redraft its chivalrous ideals within the context of the Catholic Renewal. However, this so-called Religion met this challenge partially and late, although it represented its glorious past as a gallery of saints and martyrs, even if they were not always officially recognised by the Church. This past, since its origin in the Holy Land, casted a shadow of sanctity into the present, confirming this Religion as being semper eadem. Such a representation is found in the book Il glorioso trionfo della sacrosanta religion militare di S. Giovanni Gierosolimitano, published in 1619 in Ital…
