The Company Clusters Power in Tourism Destinations: The Network Configuration and the Business Organisation
2022
Better and greater coordination and integration between companies are essential for tourist destination development processes improving competitiveness. Moreover, it is difficult to imagine that all companies can cooperate. In this way, we can imagine finding a group of companies that, for several reasons, decide to cooperate, creating some clusters as small groups. Companies with stable connections with other clusters or relevant companies could be relevant and central to Tourism Destination (TD) management. In this way, the knowledge of network articulation seems to be critical for TD management business dynamics. In most cases, the relationships are hidden and not formalised, increasing …
Famiglie, disagio e servizio sociale
2019
Il volume raccoglie contributi che intendono disvelare la natura sociale e culturale della famiglia. Gli autori dei contributi hanno messo in evidenza come la famiglia, lungi dall'essere una entità ovvia e data per scontata, sia invece il prodotto di aspettative, comportamenti socialmente strutturati, oltre che di negoziazioni e di rapporti di potere e dinamiche, talvolta profondamente conflittuali. The volume collects contributions that intend to reveal the social and cultural nature of the family.
La presa in carico residenziale: percorsi di ricerca nelle comunità per minori.
2012
Le comunità residenziali possono essere concepite come “campi esperienziali”, luoghi di esperienza condivisa all’interno dei quali, nel qui e ora della quotidianità e nell’intreccio di storie, esperienze, culture, visioni del mondo, orientamenti e bisogni diversi, gli “abitanti” della comunità, minori e operatori, intrecciano reti relazionali complesse. L’esplorazione di tali campi esperienziali e del loro funzionamento, la definizione di setting di lavoro clinico e formativo nei quali avviare percorsi trasformativi, è l’interesse che ha mosso il progetto di ricerca e intervento che qui presentiamo. Nella prospettiva della valutazione del lavoro clinico e della qualità dei servizi offerti a…
Fathers in focus: two discursive analyses on addressing men, work and care
2022
We introduce in this chapter discourse analysis as a methodological tool for studying work-family issues, particularly those of men and fathers in work and care. Work and family involve complex processes and dynamics, where reconciling different interpretations of events are temporally and contextually changing. Current discourses on involved fatherhood raise many questions about men's work and family relationships and the role of care in their life. Here we present two empirical examples using discourse analysis to study work-family issues from a male gender perspective in the Finnish context. Finally, we discuss the (dis)advantages of using discursive analytical perspectives in work-famil…
Marginalità, esclusione sociale e politiche di intervento. Studi e ricerche dei laboratori dei corsi di studio in servizio sociale
2022
Il volume raccoglie alcuni contributi scaturiti da attività di ricerca e didattica di due laboratori dei Corsi di studio in Servizio sociale del Dipartimento Culture e società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo: il Laboratorio Interdisciplinare di ricerca su Corpi, Diritti, Conflitti e il Laboratorio di Servizio sociale. Marginale è chi vive una condizione di estraneità e non-appartenenza al contesto sociale, chi viene a trovarsi ai margini, ai confini del sistema sociale, a distanza dai processi centrali di distribuzione delle risorse sociali, non solo materiali, a indicare che le disuguaglianze sociali sono strettamente riconducibili a gradi diversi di integrazione sociale, e che la q…
Teenage motherhood and the evaluation of relationships in the family of origin in mothers in their early adulthood
2019
BackgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships in the family of origin in a sample of mothers who had their first child as teenagers (off-time motherhood). We also sought to answer the following question: are there any differences in the evaluation of relationships between mothers who gave birth to their first child in their teens and those who had their first baby during women’s best fertility age (on-time motherhood)? For women, the optimum reproductive age is anywhere between 20 and 30 years of age.Participants and procedureThe study looked at 60 mothers, including 30 off-time mothering and 30 on-time mothering. Two research tools were used in the study: an own s…
A transsexual parent recounts his transition.
2015
Changes in family systems have concerned norms, roles and relational styles. The presence of a trans-sexual father or mother represents a specific condition in the parenting function. When a parent decides to come out about his or her transsexualism, the process of disclosure becomes a family issue and this coming-out may cause, in the transsexual’s partner, sexual rejection, disillusion, anger, identity crisis, alteration in one’s system of beliefs and concern for one’s children. The adjustment process to trans-sexual parenthood entails the acceptance of this new condition and a focusing on the care function, independently of the relationship of the couple. Moreover, difficulties at the le…
Family Well-Being Under Pressure: Rhythmanalysis Applied to Post Pandemic Family Dynamics
2022
This contribution deals with the centrality of family relationships for the production of individual well-being, both on a cognitive level, i.e. as an influence on satisfaction with one’s own life and, therefore, as the outcome of a cognitive evaluation, and on an experiential and emotional level, i.e. as an influence on moment-to-moment experience. It starts from an analysis of subjective well-being, arriving at a concept of relational well-being, whilst proposing an approach of rhythmanalysis as a tool for understanding the changes occurring in family dynamics in the post-Covid era.
