Recensione di Marcello Ravveduto, Lo spettacolo della mafia : storia di un immaginario tra finzione e realtà
2019
Letta sotto questa lente, la mafia, anzi le mafie al plurale, si affermano nel discorso pubblico come un potere oscuro, a volte invincibile, di sicuro violento e corruttore. Per conoscerle bisogna innanzitutto compiere un’azione di costruzione sociale del male, c’è bisogno di identificare il mafioso come un nemico pubblico e attribuirgli, per renderlo manifesto, tutti i difetti che non appartengono al cittadino virtuoso
Selecting and Retaining Friends on the Basis of Cigarette Smoking Similarity
2013
This study examines whether friend selection, deselection, and socialization differ as a function of the level of cigarette smoking in the friendship group. A total of 1419 students (median age = 16) from upper secondary and vocational schools in Finland were included as targets in the peer network. Targets in the peer network were asked to nominate friends and describe their own cigarette smoking at two time points one year apart. Network analyses revealed similarity arising from selection and deselection on the basis of smoking. Selection effects (i.e., selecting new friends based on similarity) were stronger for adolescents in low-smoking groups. Deselection effects (i.e., dropping frien…
Racism, xenophobia and intolerance in Spanish football: evolution and responses from the government and the civil society
2013
Contrary to what is sometimes supposed, racism is not a phenomenon of the past. In fact, it is one of the major challenges of the present and future in Europe and Spain. Besides providing an incomparable sense of belonging, football stadiums are also an excellent platform to express racist and xenophobic attitudes and behaviours. In Spain, for years, many players have suffered abuse and insults although black and ethnic minority players are those who receive the most harassment. Thus, the problem of racism has increased recently in Spanish football, as shown by the emission of monkey noises toward black players and the use of racist slogans and symbols in the stadiums. This study analyses t…
Sex and Prisons: Women and Spanish Penitentiary Reform, 1787-1808
2019
Whereas prisons had previously been thought of as transitory places for those awaiting trial, the new prison system aimed at the reformation of convicts. In Spain the first organisation set up to improve prison conditions was the Señoras de las Cárceles. This article shows how the Señoras attempted to erase the sexual aspect of women's prisons and create instead a morally acceptable space in which to educate female prisoners. Their practices reveal how changing ideas about punishment and education, sexuality and gender, entered the Spanish penal system, permeated civil society and facilitated the transition to a different legal regime.

Perpetuating Anti-Muslim Discrimination through the Interpretation of Religious Equality in the European Court of Human Rights
2018
AbstractFaced with widespread prejudice and discrimination, European Muslims are increasingly resorting to the European Court of Human Rights as a last-ditch strategy to transform state policies toward minority faiths. While the Court has a mandate to protect religious freedom and equality, the conservative and sometimes biased way in which it has interpreted these concepts has enabled the persistence of stark asymmetries in the legal and social statuses of different religions. Using an analysis of relevant cases, this article seeks to highlight the judicial processes that currently sustain Muslim subordination and pinpoint specific reforms that could reverse the trend.
Criminalpol Sicilia and the mafia, 1966-1981
2022
This article reconstructs events relating to the Centro di coordinamento regionale di polizia criminale (Criminalpol Sicilia) in Palermo, from its establishment in the second half of the 1960s up to the beginning of the 1980s. Created in order to unify and coordinate mafia investigations at the regional level, Criminalpol Sicilia became, over time, one of the most significant ventures in the history of the battle against the mafia. First and foremost, this was because during the 1970s it managed to operate in total synergy with the most important investigative bodies engaged in fighting the mafia, including Palermo’s Squadra Mobile (Flying Squad). Secondly, it was because it proved capable …
La identidad en juego: un acercamiento autoficcional a La casa en Mango Street
2020
Este artículo explica la construcción autoficcional de La casa en Mango Street, obra de la chicana Sandra Cisneros. Parte de la base teórica que considera la autoficción como un género no subordinado a otros, siguiendo la posición de Vera Toro, y elabora un estudio de las claves poéticas de la obra, así como de las condiciones sociohistóricas en que ha sido escrita. Analiza también cómo es el espacio el elemento narrativo fundamental que permite establecer una relación entre la creación literaria, la creación de identidad del pueblo chicano y la de la mujer-narradora de la obra. En este estudio no perdemos tampoco de vista el fuerte carácter crítico del texto: por un lado, observaremos la i…
Moral panic, moral regulation and essentialization of identities: Discursive struggle over unethical business practices in the Finnish national media
2013
The study sheds light on the language of moral panic and moral regulation in the Finnish news media over a 9-year period on the subject of cartels and cartel agreements. What makes the case particularly interesting is that the object of the most explicit moral panic was the introduction of new laws (leniency programmes) designed to regulate illegal cartel behaviour. The main argument is that the construction of both moral regulation and moral panic in news media takes place through essentializing discursive claims that contribute to national identity construction. The study contributes to current literature on moral panics as ideologico-discursive phenomena and throws some light on the powe…
