The Ka’ulayawaa festivals among the Wayùu. Exploring continuities and variations in forms, meanings and contexts through ethnographic sources
2022
In this paper I review and compare the main sources of information about the ka’ulayawaa festivals among the Wayùu, an Amerindian people inhabiting in the semiarid Guajira peninsula (Northern Colombia and Venezuela). For their peculiar mix of songs, dances, imitative plays and competitive games, inserted into a same festive framework, these festivals are particularly interesting to be studied as expressive metacommentaries (in the sense of Turner) of Wayùu social structures, cultural values and worldview. Nevertheless, they have not so far been the subject of a specific anthropological analysis, also because they ceased to be celebrated around the middle of the twentieth century, that is, b…
Milieux professionnels et FASP médicale : de l’autre côté du miroir
2004
Le but de cette étude, est de mettre en lumière et d’analyser les relations entre les milieux professionnels de la médecine et la fiction à substrat professionnel (FASP). Il est convenu de dire que les medical thrillers, dont les caractéristiques principales en tant que sous-groupe générique de la FASP sont présentées ici, offrent un reflet plutôt fidèle du monde de la médecine. L’auteur montre l’intégration en profondeur du discours et des pratiques de la communauté médicale dans la trame paratextuelle, narrative et linguistique des romans à suspense à dominante médicale. Afin de mieux comprendre les relations entre l’environnement professionnel et l’œuvre de fiction, l’auteur présente les…
La trascrizione del certificato di nascita del figlio di coniugi “same sex”. Filiazione omogenitoriale, ordine pubblico internazionale e interesse de…
2015
Le odierne fugaci riflessioni prendono le mosse da un decreto con cui, in data 29 Ottobre 2014, la Corte d’Appello di Torino, ribaltando la decisione di primo grado, ha imposto all’ufficiale dello stato civile di trascrivere l’atto di nascita di un bambino risultante ab origine figlio di due madri, le quali, una spagnola e una Italiana, sposatesi in Spagna nel 2009, avevano procreato in Spagna tramite un procedimento di fecondazione eterologa. Il decreto in parola è di grande rilevanza in quanto senza precedenti, posto che sinora ciò che, talvolta, si era arrivato a riconoscere era la c.d. stepchild adoption, cioè l’adozione del figlio del partner (nei casi considerati, in una relazione omo…
Aineenopettajaksi opiskelevien koulukokemuksia sukupuolistuneesta väkivallasta
2022
Artikkelissa tarkastelemme sukupuolistunutta väkivaltaa aineenopettajaopiskelijoiden koulukokemusten näkökulmasta. Merkittävä määrä nuorista altistuu väkivallan ja häirinnän eri muodoille. Kouluterveyskyselyjen mukaan erityisesti tyttöihin ja sukupuolivähemmistöihin kohdistuva väkivalta ja seksuaalinen häirintä ovat viime vuosien aikana lisääntyneet huolestuttavasti. Koulun ja opettajien rooli ilmiöön puuttumisessa on tärkeä, samoin opettajankoulutuksen, jonka aikana opiskelijoiden olisi tärkeä tulla tietoiseksi väkivallan ilmenemismuodoista ja niihin puuttumisen mahdollisuuksista. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin fokusryhmähaastatteluilla, joihin osallistui yhteensä 18 aineenopettajaopiskeli…

Tyttöjen ja poikien väliset erot seksuaalisesta hyväksikäytöstä kertomisessa
2020
Tytöt ja pojat eroavat toisistaan siinä, kuinka he kertovat kokemastaan seksuaalisesta hyväksikäytöstä. Kokemukset jäävät usein myös kokonaan aikuisille kertomatta. Hyväksikäytön kokemusten tunnistaminen, asian puheeksi ottaminen ja siihen puuttuminen on edellytys myös laajemmalle toimintakulttuurin kehittämiselle sekä asenteellisille ja rakenteellisille muutoksille. This article addresses the frequency of child sexual abuse and its disclosure from the perspective of girls and boys between ages 11 and 17 years. It is based on data from two population-based studies in the Child Victim Surveys 2008 (N = 13,459) and 2013 (N = 11,364), with sexual abuse examined from the perspectives of disclos…
Heteronormativity meets queering in physical education : the views of PE teachers and LGBTIQ+ students
2021
Background and purpose: In school physical education (PE) lessons, gender is often produced heteronormatively. Lesbian, gay, bi, transgender, intersexual, and queer (LGBTIQ+) students have reported experiences of discrimination and obstacles to participation. This study analyzed Finnish PE teachers and LGBTIQ+ students’ talk about discrimination and problematic practices in PE and how equality in PE might be improved. Theoretical background: We draw on the concepts of heteronormativity and habitus. Habitus provides insight on how gendered norms and inequalities become embodied and contested in different social fields. In the PE context, we define social on the one hand as the heteronormativ…
Who Can See My Stuff? : Online Self-Disclosure and Gender Differences on Facebook
2018
This study investigates the gendered privacy practices and concerns on Facebook, by leaning on the idea of privacy management as a form of digital labour. We analyse if young Facebook users are more concerned about the privacy against other users than against Facebook as a company or against third-party partners. We also analyse if privacy concerns and visibility rules are differentiated by gender. Using a structured online survey, we collected responses from a sample of 813 Italian university students (aged 18-34). Our results show that the respondents have just slightly more privacy concerns against other users than against Facebook, and much less against third-party partners. Unlike a ma…
Girls4STEM: Gender Diversity in STEM for a Sustainable Future
2020
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are key disciplines towards tackling the challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals. However, evidence shows that women are enrolling in these disciplines in a smaller percentage than men, especially in Engineering related fields. As stated by the United Nations Women section, increasing the number of women studying and working in STEM fields is fundamental towards achieving better solutions to the global challenges, since the potential for innovation is larger. In this paper, we present the Girls4STEM project, which started in 2019 at the Escola Tè
