Palestina Anno Zero in "Archivio Antropologico Mediterraneo" n. 13, 2011 http://www.archivioantropologicomediterraneo.it
2011
L'ultimo numero di Conflitti Globali, Palestina anno zero, fotografa la situazione dei territori palestinesi nel periodo successivo all'operazione piombo fuso. Le molteplici forme di frammentazione dei territori palestinesi, messe in campo dalla potenza occupante israeliana, e le altrettanto variegate forme di resistenza che i palestinesi sono in grado di attivare – nell'architettura della decolonizzazione così come nella vita quotidiana in un villaggio di confine – ci offrono una matrice per leggere le forme del conflitto invitandoci, nello stesso tempo, ad una riflessione più generale sui processi di colonizzazione. Frammentazioni e resistenze che possono essere colte, rinunciando ad ogni…

Confronting the Medusa with Athena’s Shield: Empowering Social Workers with a Transformative Role in the Migration Field
2022
Along with existing challenges, there are new ones leading social workers to become involved in increasingly international intervention processes. This has led to the development of the concept of International Social Work (Hugman, Moosa-Mitha & Moyo, 2010; Cox & Pawar, 2006; Dominelli, 2010), which provides a good opportunity to both depart from old patterns of administering aid (Healy 2008) and to embody a perception of itself as a transformative actor (Wintergerst 2017, p. 236). Assuming that it is true that the presence of different cultures acts as a catalyst in the processes of change in society, then this is equally valid for the development of this profession (Di Rosa, 2021)…
The workers' strike of 1963 at Tell Chuera: Persistence of colonial practices in Near Eastern archaeology?
2022
This case study appears in: Mays C, Laborie L, Griset P (eds) (2022) Inventing a shared science diplomacy for Europe: Interdisciplinary case studies to think with history. A team of archaeologists from Berlin under the direction of Prof. Anton Moortgat conducted, starting from 1958, excavations at the important ancient urban site of Tell Chuera in northeast Syria. The heterogeneous composition of the Syrian workforce contributed to frequent quarrels and conflicts. In October 1963, one of these conflicts escalated into a 5-day strike, during which the workers also demanded higher wages. After the involvement of local police by the archaeologists, the strike was ended with the threat of bruta…
"Littérature enfantine et postcolonialité : le plaisir de la « Merveille » chez Patrick Chamoiseau"

Colonial, post-colonial, neo-colonial Mediterranean: historical, archaeological and iconographical sources for a micro-history of an uncomfortable th…

Even in its most neutral meanings, the term “colonial” leads to questioning the cultural and ideological purpose of its use. This also concerns its derivatives, post-colonial and neo-colonial, whose prefixes are not to be interpreted in a merely chronological sense. This paper investigates the remote origins of a mental attitude that has resulted both in a “colonial” reading of some phenomena and in a post-colonial new interpretation. The aim is to highlight the common cultural bases of these two very different conceptions (in theory opposite and non-superimposable). Also, the interpretations which are apparently far from imperialism are not totally immune from the danger of a form of racis…
Päivitettyä perinnettä : saamelaisen nykyrunouden saamelaiskuvastoja
2017
This doctoral dissertation investigates the imagery of Sáminess in contemporary Sámi poetry. The research material of the study consists of poetry collections published in North Sámi and Norwegian by eight Sámi authors: Inger-Mari Aikio (previously Aikio-Arianaick), Inga Ravna Eira, Rawdna Carita Eira, Irene Larsen, Rauni Magga Lukkari, Hege Siri, Nils- Aslak Valkeapää, and Ellen Marie Vars. The emphasis is on poetry published at the turn of the 2010s. The study examines how Sáminess has been depicted and constructed in poetry from the 1980s onwards. The four original research articles ask how images traditionally connected to Sáminess and indigenousness are used in contemporary poems and h…
"I'm Not Like Indian Women": Reflections of Young European Women in Varanasi, India
2006
The aim of this article is to look at the ways in which young European women staying in the city of Varanasi for long periods of time talk about India and how they negotiate their place and role as women there. There is a common travellers’ discourse that sees India as a difficult and dangerous place to a vulnerable traveler, and the encounters of colonial women with “otherness” have been widely analysed. This article brings this discussion to the post colonial era and endeavors to initiate a discussion about how to understand the encounters between visiting Western women and the locals in India today. The article is based on nine interviews which Korpela conducted in Varanasi, and on her p…
Contradictions of Gender and ‘Imaginative’ Representations of a (Post-)colonial Nation. E. Brodber’s Myal, A. Roy’s The God of Small Things and B. Ev…
2006
The article illustrates the ways in which the productive theoretical conflation of feminist critique and (post)colonial studies makes it possible to demonstrate that the implications of the category of gender and 'race' allow Erna Brodber's Myal (1988), Bernardine Evaristo's Lara (1997) and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things (1997) to contribute to imaginatively reshaping the postcolonial nation.
