Struggles for moral value and the reproduction of gendered and racialised hierarchies in online discussions of violence
2019
The article examines online discussions in Finland that focus on violence committed by Finnish women, on one hand, and non-white migrant men, on the other. Drawing on the perspective of sociology of value, the article illustrates how these discussions function as sites of struggles over moral worth in a contemporary context characterised by crises of both male and white hegemony. The authors suggest that, through the discussions, these current crises are projected on migrant men and certain groups of women, who thereby become construed as morally reprehensible. The analysis sheds light on processes of (re-)legitimating the moral virtue historically attached to both masculinity and whitenes…
New migration processes and new frontiers for linguistic research
2021
Recent migrations show unprecedented characteristics in terms of migratory routes, individual profiles of migrants and condition of isolation in arrival contexts. Combining sociolinguistic and linguistic perspectives, the article reconstructs the forms of linguistic contact between local and migrant populations in one of the main gateways to Europe, Palermo (Italy), and the specific conditions of local language acquisition by newcomers. It is argued that notions of (im)mobility and segregation must be included in migration-centred linguistic research
Enquêter sur les non-publics de la culture: quelle posture de recherche pour quel dispositif méthodologique?
2014
Mes travaux portent sur les non-publics des arts et leur fabrication institutionnelle, à savoir leur production par les institutions chargées de mettre en œuvre sur un territoire donné les politiques culturelles les concernant. Pour explorer cette question, je me place dans la perspective initiée en sociologie de l'art par Pascale Ancel et Alain Pessin (2004) et caractérisée par la remise en question de la frontière entre publics et non-publics. On peut, écrit Martine Azam (2004), être " à la fois " public et non-public s'agissant de deux objets culturels différents ou du même objet à des moments différents. L'objectif de cet article est d'expliciter les principaux choix méthodologiques que…
Integration and hegemonic relationship of labour market inequality : an investigation of immigrants/policy officials perceptions on immigrant's labou…
2017
The aim of the research was to investigate the perceptions of immigrants (students, refugees and others) and public officials, on the value of Finnish economic integration within the broader context of immigrant-host labour relationship. Employing Gramsci theory of Hegemony, this study examined those discursive hegemonies in defining the economic and labour market importance of migration and integration, and how does such "hegemonic definitions" resonate within the views of Non-EU foreign students and other migrants. How does hegemonic labour inequality explicate when certain notions of belonging and identity resonates within labour market inclusions of Immigrants. To understand how percept…

La vita sospesa nella zona grigia, la perdurante temporaneità dei campi profughi e la sopravvivenza culturale del popolo saharawi
2021
Because of containment policies, migrants between departure and destination encounter barriers and gray zones. They remain trapped in these places, where the asymmetry of power is exercised by force. Such places are tolerated as they are functional to the capitalist system. Planned refugee camps are part of this system; they are conceived as temporary devices to save human lives but are organized externally and self-organization is prevented. Can our discipline re-appropriate these issues often delegated to political and functionalist choices and provide effective answers? In the global landscape of migration, the experience of the Sahrawi can be a model of self-management and participation.
Doświadczanie migracji w opisach polskich imigrantów
2017
Wykorzystane w niniejszym tekście dane są efektem badań przeprowadzonych w 2013 i 2014 r. Badania pozwoliły na ukazanie indywidualnego rozumienia sytuacji migracji przez jej uczestników. Wypowiedzi bezpośrednich aktorów społecznych, jakimi są migranci, pomogły zilustrować migrację jako socjologiczny fenomen, w którym można zaobserwować aktualnie zachodzące szersze zmiany społeczne.
Maahanmuuttajien yritystoiminnan merkitys Suomen työllisyyden ja tuottavuuden yritysdynamiikalle
2019
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan maahanmuuttajataustaisten yritysten reaalisen arvonlisäyksen, työllisyyden ja työn tuottavuuden kasvua Suomessa vuosina 2007–2016. Analyysissä on käytetty Tilastokeskuksen ns. FLOWNaineistoa, joka mahdollistaa yritysten, niiden omistajien ja työntekijöiden rekisteripohjaisten tietojen yhdistämisen. Maahanmuuttajataustaisten yritysten osuus yrityskannasta on ollut muutaman prosentin ja osuus yrityssektorin työvoimasta yhden prosentin luokkaa, joten niiden vaikutus Suomen talouden ja työllisyyden kasvuun on pakostakin rajallinen. Maahanmuuttajataustaisten yritysten reaalisen arvonlisäyksen kasvu on kuitenkin ollut selvästi muita yritysryhmiä nopeampaa. Työpaikkojen…
Entre Communitas e immunitas: la profanación de la Comunidad Jurídica
2011

ABSTRACT Based on the link between community and violence, analyzes the immunitas and communitas categories of the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito to explain the possibility of an impolitic community experienced by the profanation
Intercultural Profiles and Adaptation Among Immigrant and Autochthonous Adolescents
2015
Few studies examine relationships between intercultural strategies and adaptation among adolescents using a person-oriented approach. Framed from an intercultural psychology perspective, this study used such an approach in order to examine the influence of intercultural profiles, patterns of relationships among variables related to intercultural strategies, on the adaptation of adolescents of both non-dominant and dominant groups. Two hundred and fifty-six adolescents living in Italy and aged from 14 to 18 participated to the study: 127 immigrants from Tunisia (males = 49.61%) and 129 autochthonous (males = 44.19%). Data were collected through self-report questionnaires. Using cluster analy…
