Mapping the Idea of Europe : Cultural Production of Border Imaginaries through Heritage
2021
In contrast to recent reinforcements of Europe's internal and external borders due to the refugee situation on the Mediterranean and the Covid-19 outbreak, talk of European borders has in the past decades focused on the freedom of mobility guaranteed by the Schengen treaty. In many senses, free intra-European mobility has become a recited truth in the EU discourse: a phrase that hides under its repetition the gap between its implied content and empirical realities of many of those who are affected by European borders’ exclusive tendencies. Through the concept of borderscape, this article focuses on the role that cultural products – especially maps exhibited at heritage sites – have in recit…
Recensione di African Migrants and Europe. Managing the Ultimate Frontier di Lorenzo Rinelli
2016
Living in urban interstices: the survival practices of excluded Gypsies in Italian borderlands.
2012
The paper focuses on the case-studies of nomad camps in Italy, where groups of “gypsies” live in condition of ghetto. The nomad camps generally constitute a world out of the city, as an encompassed microcosm. They represent a borderland or a grey zone. The only interaction between “them” and “us” happens when Romanì exit from the camp and cross the municipal streets. Roma people develop a capacity to survive in urban interstices. These practices consist in unusual welfare forms of material help for day by day survival, while living in a condition of human rights negation by majority society members.

Confin(at)i Mediterranei e Afroamericani. Una performance geografica sulla disumanizzazione
2020
Studiare la questione mediterranea soltanto dentro le aule universitarie non ci permette di restituire una realtà sfaccettata che viene proposta all’opinione pubblica con un’unica parola d’ordine: invasione. La performance E l’Europa disumanizzò se stessa mi ha permesso di presentare la storia di schiavi e fuggitivi per un’audience più vasta. Incentrata sul libro di Toni Morrison, Beloved, rimbalza tra gli effetti delle storie dell’Atlantico Nero e quelli dell’odierno Mediterraneo. Il saggio si propone di tracciare alcune direzioni che possano aiutare a indagare le diverse linee di confine che segnano la rugosità della modernità del nostro globo. Per fare questo, si prova a rispondere a tre…

Pārrobežu iepirkšanās Latvijas un Igaunijas pierobežā
2017
Pārrobežu iepirkšanās ir izplatīta parādība, kas beidzamo pāris gadu laikā ir kļuvusi īpaši aktuāla arī Latvijā. Alkohola akcīzes nodokļa palielināšana Igaunijā ir veicinājusi tūristu skaita pieaugumu, kas vienlaikus radījis labvēlīgus apstākļus tūrisma un citu pakalpojumu attīstībai pašvaldībās, kas robežojas ar Igauniju. Pierobežā nereti sastopams pārrobežu iepirkšanos sekmējošu apstākļu kopums, turklāt tūristi Latvijas pierobežu galvenokārt apmeklē ērti pieejamās atrašanās vietas vai izdevīgāku cenu dēļ, tomēr bieži vien izmanto arī citas piedāvātās iespējas un pakalpojumus. Kopumā attieksmi pret pārrobežu iepirkšanos var raksturot kā pozitīvu, tomēr arī Latvijā plānots palielināt akcīze…
Images of Europe. The Union between Federation and Separation
2021
This book deals with the fundamental semantics of images of Europe, which consist of valences, mirror beliefs and affectivities. This is why it relaunches the importance of the European discourse in its symbolic dimension. As such, it explores the many images of Europe, or rather the many images through which European discourse is actually constituted in daily life, in search of their enunciative responsibility in today’s world for determining the current “State of the Union”. The identity of the European continent is based on a millenary tension between universalism and particularism: images of Europe have in fact been alternately inspired, over the centuries, by a model of homogeneity – R…
Instytucjonalny wymiar ochrony granic zewnętrznych Unii Europejskiej w kontekście bezpieczeństwa państw członkowskich
2018
Celem artykułu jest analiza problemu funkcjonowania instytucji zapewniających ochronę zewnętrznych granic Unii Europejskiej pod kątem zagwarantowania bezpieczeństwa jej państwom w kontekście współczesnych wyzwań. Do chwili, kiedy zaistniał kryzys migracyjny istniało bowiem przekonanie, że Unia Europejska stworzyła instytucjonalne warunki dla skutecznego zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa swoich granic. UE to przestrzeń, w obrębie której realizowana jest swoboda przemieszczania się obywateli, wyrażona poprzez swobodę podróżowania, podejmowania pracy, studiowania czy zamieszkiwania w wybranym kraju Unii. Realizacja tej swobody nastąpiła w wyniku zniesienia kontroli na wewnętrznych granicach UE. Jedna…
