La vida cotidiana de los vecinos de Manila a través de sus testamentos e inventarios de bienes
2019
With the general objective indicated in its title, this work tries to highlight relevant aspects in the continuity of the Spanish domain in the Philippines, dependent on the maintenance of the Spanish capital. The inevitable selection of topics has lead the preferences of this work towards the residents collaboration to defend the city, the conversion of many of them into traders of exotic products and singular slaves owners, and their collaboration to an incredible miscegenation due to the ethnic variety. On the other hand, to follow the footsteps of the first generation of residents in Manila, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century, this work gives us some information …
Libertà, lavoro e architettura negli edifici-simbolo della giovane nazione americana. Attualità di un dibattito : intervista a Mabel Wilson (GSAPP, C…
2022
Il 13 luglio 2000 il Congresso americano sanciva l’urgenza del riconoscimento del lavoro degli afro-americani nella realizzazione del Campidoglio di Washin¬gton, D.C., promuovendo a tal fine la costituzione di una commissione dedicata allo studio del tema (Risoluzione 130, 106° Congresso, 2° sessione). Una decisione che, oltre un secolo e mezzo dopo il completamento dell’edifi¬cio-simbolo della nazione, voleva riconoscere in via ufficiale il ruolo fondamentale svolto dalla forza-lavoro afro americana, restituendo in questo modo alla Storia una più esatta visione del processo che ha portato al suo completamento.
Schiavitù mediterranea. Corsari, rinnegati e santi di età moderna
2009
Durante l'età moderna l'area mediterranea è segnata dalla guerra da corsa e dalla pirateria, su cui prosperano intere città, cristiane e musulmane. Quanti cadono in mano corsara, ridotti in schiavitù, attendono di essere riscattati o scambiati e, in cattività danno origine a una intricata storia di abiure e conversioni -dall'islam al cristianesimo e viceversa. Il libro, basato su ricche e talvolta inesplorate fonti documentarie,mostra il forte coinvolgimento delle istituzioni laiche ed ecclesiastiche in questa nuova dimensione della contesa politica internazionale. L'efficacia nella evangelizzazione dei captivi e degli schiavi ha come risultato eclatante la canonizzazione di santi neri (com…
Schiavi, poveri e benefattori nell’Anatolia tardoantica: la visione socio-economica delle comunità enkratite attraverso gli atti apocrifi degli apost…
2015
Different sources (epigrahical, literary, apocryphal) can be used to analyse the Christian heretical sects connected to an enkratite movement (Enkratites, Apotactites, Sakkophoroi, Hydroparastatai, Aerians), which was characterised by radical forms of self-restraint (enkrateia). Epigraphical documents are helpful in setting these communities in the rural background of late antique Anatolia (4th-5th cent. AD). On the other side the apocryphal acts of the apostles – specially the so called Acta Petri from the Codex Vercellensis and the Acta Philippi – offer important hints on social and economic ideas developed by Enkratites, in particular concerning the most debated issues of evangelic pover…
Slaveries and new slaveries: Which role for human dignity?
2019
This paper aims at reflecting on the role of the notion of "human dignity" with respect to slavery and new slaveries. First of all, a very brief reflection is carried out on the different legal meanings of the notion at stake in general terms (para. 2). On this basis, some remarks are developed with specific regard to the role played by dignity concerning new slaveries in the case law of international tribunals (European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights, International Criminal Court, International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia: paras 3 and 4), particularly in the very recent case law of the European Court (para. 5) Such a role is far from being insignificant: the idea…
Schiavitù, servitù e sfruttamento lavorativo
2022
La pronuncia in commento individua il limite discretivo tra gli artt. 600 e 603-bis c.p. nella mancanza di alternative esistenziali, quale contenuto della situazione di vulnerabilità richiesta dalla fattispecie di riduzione o mantenimento in schiavitù o servitù ex art. 600 c.p. L’art. 603-bis c.p. configurerebbe, invece, un’area nella quale la condotta del datore di lavoro non determina una compressione altrettanto rilevante della libertà di autodeterminazione del lavoratore, ma che, allo stesso tempo, non possa neppure essere liquidata come una violazione meramente formale della normativa giuslavoristica.
Il Consiglio coloniale e il Consiglio speciale nella Guyana francese: tra emancipazione e discriminazione (1840-1842)
2020
On 24 April 1833, Louis Philippe of Orléans signed the law replacing the General Councils with the Colonial Councils. By a circular dated 18 July 1840 from the Minister of the Navy and the Colonies, Special Councils were also established in the four French coloniesin orderto provide documents and opinions on the abolition of slavery. This paper analyses French Guiana, starting from the different composition of the two Councils and, then, from the different interestsrepresented therein. The aim is to reconstruct the debate on slavery conducted between 1840 and 1842 in the two Councils, and, consequently, to highlight and compare the proposalsforsocial and institutional changes they contextua…
Agency or impotence: Sicilian women in the context of captivity.
In this position paper I will put forward a small array of case studies in order to better understand the role of sicilian women in captivity related situations during the XVII-XVIIIXIX centuries, specifically how much gender influenced the practices of mediation, ransom and redemption of slaves. Those case studies constitutes part of my research work, and my aim is to test the conclusions of this paper by further archival research. I will highlight the role of sicilian women not only as captives but also in the mediation for the rescue of their relatives and in the funding of the redeeming missions. Of course, women in those centuries were generally subjugated to the will of their fathers,…
“A Modern Slave Song:” Reggae Music and the Memory of Slavery
2019
International audience; From early ska tunes to modern-day dancehall sounds, Jamaican popular music has been a privileged site for the re/creation and transmission of a communal memory of slavery, within Jamaican society itself but also in the broader context of the African and Afro-Caribbean diasporas. The lyrics of reggae songs constitute a vast textual repertoire where a predominantly oral discourse on slavery is produced and circulated, mostly outside institutional circles. In such texts, slavery serves as a memorial matrix which fosters a sense of identity, community and resistance for Afro-Caribbean people around the world. This chapter examines a corpus of 250 song lyrics dedicated t…
