Life beyond the camp : rethinking return, reconstruction and women's expression of lived experiences in Northern Uganda
2015
The conflict in Northern Uganda is recognized as having come to an end with the signing of a cessation of hostilities agreement between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda in August 2006, which resulted in improved security. Estimates suggest that the majority of the displaced populations have left their camps and moved either to transit sites near farms or to their village of origin. Much research has been done on the living conditions of women in the Ugandan IDP camps yet very little has been written on the situation for women who return home or resettle after the camp. This study aims at understanding the gender specific challenges of formerly conflict-displaced women…
La mode dans le Journal : la garde-robe féminine
2019
Si le Journal n’offre pas d’analyses développées quant à la mode féminine, mais plutôt des notations plus ou moins courtes écrites à l’occasion d’une rencontre ou d’un propos rapporté, il permet toutefois de cerner ce qui fait de la garde-robe féminine un objet d’intérêt pour les Goncourt. Les premières mentions de robes relèvent d’une préoccupation érotique, mais les suivantes s’apparentent à des notations picturales : la femme est du même coup transformée en objet d’art, tableau ou bibelot – le mépris n’est alors jamais loin. En revanche, la description vestimentaire ne constitue pas pour les deux frères un outil économique pour « faire vivant », sans doute parce qu’elle fige l’être, esth…
L'identità individuale: doppi e gemelli - L'identità collettiva: cittadino vs straniero

The article, which is part of a new 'encyclopaedic' assessment of ancient myth, offers a general overview of the socio-anthropological models underlying some of the most well-known Roman myths about twins, Doppelgänger, and foreigners.
Namaszczenie Jezusa w Betanii (Mt 26,6-13)
2019
The action of pericope that describes the anointing of Jesus (Matt. 26:6–13) took place in Bethany, in Judea. These areas were then part of the Great Roman Empire. Christ foretold that the woman who poured out the precious oil on His head in the house of Simon the Leper would know the whole world. That is what exactly happened. Many Christians do not know much about history of the Roman Empire, but probably everyone has heard of a nameless woman who anointed Jesus shortly before His passion and death. The woman embarrassed the apostles, her generous gesture toward Christ contrasted with the conspiracy of the chief priests and the elders of the people (Matt. 26:3–5) and the betrayal of Judas…
Dones intrèpides... i sàvies. Europees a Àfrica

L’accés de les dones a professions tingudes tradicionalment per pròpies d’homes com la medicina, el professorat i també la recerca ha estat problemàtic fins a dates relativament recents. Algunes, tanmateix, com les tres presentades com a exemple a l’article, han esdevingut pioneres en disciplines i espais dels més difícils i compromesos.
Political Action Beyond Resistance: Arendt and "Revolutionary Spirit" in Egypt
2016
The article examines what it calls the "politics-as-resistance" frame in contemporary political theory, originating in the works of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler. This way of organizing political experience is contrasted with Hannah Arendt's political thought, particularly her writings on revolutionary action. Arendt's often overlooked – and partly unpublished – passages on virtù and fortuna are further suggested as important additions to her thinking on action. I argue that Arendt's "world-centric" approach can illuminate certain aspects of political experience that remain dimmed in the more subject-oriented politics-as-resistance frame. Particular focus is paid to the austere notion o…
Fra endowment e entitlement: il confine dei diritti delle donne nigeriane nello sfruttamento sessuale in Italia
2021
Negli ultimi anni l’aumento dei flussi migratori verso la rotta centrale del Mediterraneo ha sfidato il sistema di asilo e accoglienza italiano. In linea con il Regolamento di Dublino, l’Italia è stata obbligata a fornire una risposta emergenziale ai flussi misti, questi ultimi costituiti da vittime di tratta, minori non accompagnati e richiedenti asilo. Fra le diverse categorie vulnerabili, enorme attenzione è stata data all’aumento significativo di donne nigeriane. Nel 2016 l’OIM (2017) ha identificato su un numero di ingressi di donne nigeriane di 11.009 unità, ben 8.277 potenziali vittime di tratta. L’intrecciarsi della categoria di “vittima di tratta” con quella di “richiedente asilo” …
