Seed germination data of three Hieracium and one Pilosella (Asteraceae) from Sicily and southern Italy
2020
This work reports the first seed germination data of three Hieracium and one Pilosella (Asteraceae) taxa from Sicily and southern Italy. The studied taxa are: Hieracium hypochoeroides subsp. cilentanum, endemic to Campania, H. schmidtii subsp. nebrodense, endemic to Sicily, H. terraccianoi, endemic to Calabria and Pilosella hoppeana subsp. sicula, endemic to Sicily. The obtained results showed that the investigated taxa produce non-dormant seeds, with a high percentage of germination at all tested thermoperiods (15°C to 25°C and the alternating temperature of 25/15°C). Germination tests carried out in gibberellic acid (GA3) provided similar germination percentages. The data presented in thi…

Sex and Sexuality
2021
Abstract Symbolic interactionist approaches to sexuality state that human beings become sexual as they become whatever else and learn sexual definitions and sexual meanings just like they learn any other kind of meaning. Therefore, interactionist analysis shifts the focus of inquiry into sex from being sexual towards becoming sexual, which takes into account how sexualities are produced, organized, and negotiated, rather than tracing their sources in an immutable (conception of) nature. Sociosexual meanings give people the chance to define themselves and others sexually, to construct their sexual self and doing sexual things together in the shaping of more complex sexual choreographies and …
Maschilità “detenute”. Fare e disfare le maschilità in carcere
2022
Gender is a cultural product that is constructed, negotiated, performed within specific arenas equipped with peculiar symbol systems. Masculinity will be the main topic discussed in this article. Trying to question the naturalizing association of masculinity and violent conduct/crime, we will focus on the construction of an ideal masculine identity which puts emphasis on doing masculinity doing deviant behavior/crime. Finally, we will observe a specific arena – what can be defined as the field of penitentiary – in which different representations of gender compete to acquire power, to alleviate the frustration and to reconstruct their own erotic-sexual dimension. Taking that masculinity is b…
OUTSIDERS SESSUALI. LE FORME COLLETTIVE DELLA DEVIANZA SESSUALE
2019
Cos’è che rende delle specifiche condotte etichettate o etichettabbili come condotte devianti? Sulla base di quali elementi si sancisce la (a)normalità di un comportamento sessuale? Una condotta sessuale è anomala perché contraddice leggi naturali o dipende più direttamente da complicati processi di definizione sociale? E che ruolo svolge l’eterosessualità nella definizione e nella istituzionalizzazione dei regimi normativi riprodotti dalle logiche binarie quali “umano/inumano”, “naturale/innaturale”, “natura/culturasocietà”? Le forme di sessualità “devianti”, “corrotte”, “immorali” e “perverse” mostrano come le questioni della “devianza” sessuale siano da analizzare come oggetto della reaz…

Il sex work maschile: dalla strada al web
2022
Historically deviant conducts like homosexuality and prostitution gave rise to a social actor which has to convert his resources into money.

The aim of this paper is to show through an international literature review how male sex working has changed from a historical/sociological point of view. Keywords: homosexuality; sexwork; digitalsexwork; maleprostitution; onlyfans; pornography.

Spanish validation of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test.
2018
Background and aims Sexual addiction is a pathological behavior characterized by a combination of excessive sexual desire and impaired ability to control it. Its incidence ranges between 1.2% and 32.2%, although this number may vary depending on the screening tool used. This wide variability is largely due to the use of non-validated instruments (e.g., structural validity relying on exploratory analyses, instruments translated without an additional validation process, or instruments validated in another format). To deal with these limitations, this study tested the psychometric properties of the Spanish paper-and-pencil and online versions of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST). Met…
