Religione nei ‘borderscapes’. Diritti umani e dis-integrazione religiosa delle comunità rom in Italia

2017

This paper proposes an anthropological reflection on the connection between social inequality and Roma/ Gypsies’ religious experience in Italy, focusing on religious practices between Orthodox Christians and Muslims Roma groups living in marginal conditions. The essay, finally, refers to the way in which the Italian state does not consider the religious practices of the Roma and the issue of human rights, stressing that the religious dimension is totally ignored at government level because of harmful categorization and discriminatory attitude.

Towards Ecoism on the Road of Societal Resilience

2013

How citizens are able to understand eco-responsible conducts and a necessary community-based action in an individual world? With the "Transition Towns MOVIDA" project, we wish to identify levers related to a most collective and sustainable consumption. How our civilization can survive to a collective sclerosis accompanied with doomsayer's messages, increasing complexity and unstable governance? The present proposal consider major terms definition and practices, which can support the bounce to socio-ecological transition. When adaptive principles and practices runs for self-sufficiency and contributes to opportunity, availability or competition in a fragmented warming world, which behavioral…

Alimentare la Resilienza : approcci e metodi per orientare un modello di sviluppo orizzontale nelle aree interne siciliane

2021

Contro il perdurante modello di sviluppo dissipativo e distruttivo dell’Antropocene (Crutzen e Stoermer, 2000), l’Augmented City Lab (ACL) teorizza e sperimenta modelli per uno sviluppo locale di città e territori neoantropocenici, ispirati da una nuova responsabilità e una nuova ermeneutica del piano territoriale e del progetto urbanistico come esito di una creatività generatrice di cure, di recuperi e di riattivazioni di centri urbani che tornino ad alimentare cicli di vita, a coltivare i talenti degli abitanti, ad attrarre idee, a generare innovazione, a produrre nuove economie e a rafforzare reti di solidarietà (Carta, 2021 e Carta & Ronsivalle, 2020).

Urbanisation and Urban Regionalisation Processes in the Metropolitan Area of Palermo

2021

This article provides empirical evidence that helps to answer several key questions relating to the regionalisation processes in Southern European cities. Several studies have documented the effects produced by the urban regionalisation process, especially in terms of territorial resource consumptions and the formation of new territorial patterns, overlooking the evaluation of public information that has been lost in terms of space and prerogatives of public action in the new post- metropolitan urban space. Starting from this theoretical framework, the interpretation of the post-metropolitan transition of Palermo through the filter of living in its dual dimension of being the outcome of soc…

Like suspended particles: The long way to social inclusion of a Roma community in Sicily

2010

The ethnographic research conducted since four years focuses on the case of a nomad camp in Palermo, town in Southern Italy, where three Roma groups live since twenty-five years, in condition of ghetto. This nomad camp constitutes a world out of the city, better an encompassed microcosm, even if it is located inside the downtown. This means that there are not interrelations between the camp and the rest of the external space. Specifically, the three different groups (Xoraxane, Cergara and Serbians) represent for the outside a generic nebulous whole, confined in a green area, surrounded by a high wall. Don’t see them signifies don’t care about them, about their living conditions, about their…

Evidence de l'adaptation des communautés microbiennes sédimentaires de rivière à la minéralisation du diuron: influence du ruissellement et de l'éros…

2010

International audience; Purpose Surface runoff and erosion are major drivers of pesticide transport from soils to rivers draining vineyard watersheds. A recent study showed that applications of diuron on vineyards and diuron dispersal could lead to microbial adaptation to diuron biodegradation from treated soils to the receiving hydrosystem. Given the limited knowledge on microbial adaptation to pesticide degradation in aquatic environments, we conducted a microcosm study designed to assess the impact of runoff and erosion processes on the adaptation of riverine-sediment microbial communities to diuron mineralization. Materials and methods The experimental laboratory set-up consisted in aqu…

Effects of the introduction of a biocontrol strain of Trichoderma atroviride on non target soil micro-organisms

2009

International audience; The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of the application of an antagonistic strain of Trichoderma atroviride on the native microbial soil communities. The structures of the fungal and bacterial communities were assessed by T-RFLP (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism) method, based on T-RFLP analysis of 18S and 16S rRNA genes, respectively. Results showed that the introduction of the strain I-1237 into two soils slightly modified the microbial diversity, only for a short period of time. Nine months post-inoculation resilience took place, resulting in similar structures of the fungal and bacterial communities in the inoculated and cont…

Info-communicationnal approach of medical cannabis self-medication : analysis of figures mobilized in knowledge legitimation within a community dedic…

2022

This thesis proposes an infocommunicational approach to self-medication with medical cannabis. We question the logic of knowledge legitimization in a context where the coercive power of the French state is exercised. We seek to understand how the use of cannabis is determined in a radically constrained legislative framework, for users in a recreational or self-medication approach, but also for doctors and patients in a medical approach. To do this, we analyze the processes of knowledge legitimization that allow the development of practical know-how allowing individuals to consume cannabis in a self-medication approach within clandestine health communities of practice, supported by participa…
