Sezione monografica. La cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo. Costruire sull’esperienza
2018
La propensione per lo studio delle specificità culturali ha fatto dell’antropologia una delle discipline direttamente interessate ai processi di mutamento pianificato. L’attenzione per la cooperazione internazionale allo sviluppo e alle sue ricadute professionali è stata ben presente nell’antropologia italiana e all’interno dei convegni SIAA, ma il dibattito in seno all’associazione è rimasto per il momento sottodimensionato rispetto a un altro ambito di grande interesse pubblico, la migrazione dai paesi affetti da conflitti e povertà verso l’Europa e al ruolo che gli antropologi possono svolgere nelle politiche di accoglienza.

Au-delà de la frontière : la Charte de Lampedusa, un exemple de réécriture des droits contre la logique de l’enfermement
2015
The paper describes the elaboration of the Charter of Lampedusa. It focuses on the political and geopolitical upheavals of 2014, paying particular attention to the evolving humanitarian-military devices of border management and controls deployed in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Borders are analyzed not only with respect to their function of geographic separation, but also as social, cultural, and economic markers. The objectives and limits of the Charter are explored in light of its capacity to represent an alternative vision against the political, economic, social and cultural predominant model in Europe. It is argued that this model needs to be completely restructured. The alternative visi…

Homeschooling, freedom of conscience, and the school as republican sanctuary: an analysis of arguments representing polar conceptions of the secular …
2016
This paper examines how stances and understandings pertaining to whether home education is civically legitimate within liberal democratic contexts can depend on how one conceives normative roles of the secular state and the religious neutrality that is commonly associated with it. For the purposes of this paper, home education is understood as a manifestation of an educational philosophy ideologically based on a given conception of the good. Two polar conceptions of secularism, republican and liberal-pluralist, are explored. Republican secularists declare that religious expressions do not belong in the public sphere and justify this exclusion by promoting religious neutrality as an end in i…
Tackling racism seriously: Human rights and the underpinnings of ethnic recognition
2017
Ante el persistente reto del racismo, los estados de Europa occidental están buscando maneras de mejorar las actitudes de su población hacia los inmigrantes no blancos procedentes de los países en desarrollo, así como hacia sus descendientes. Sin embargo, dos importantes obstáculos dificultan la puesta en marcha de ambiciosas reformas antirracistas. Por un lado, la enorme brecha entre el número de votantes nativos y de origen extranjero, combinada con la relativa inmunidad de los primeros a la discriminación étnica, hace electoralmente difícil mantener el tema en la agenda política, especialmente con la competencia de partidos de extrema derecha y retórica xenófoba. Por otra parte, los part…
Cultural Heritage and Development: a look at the 2030 Agenda and the role of heritage.
2020
En la Agenda 2030 difícilmente vamos a ubicar referencias a la cultura, y aún menos al patrimonio cultural. En su redacción, los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) dejan poco margen a la cultura y al patrimonio como medio humano para alcanzar esos objetivos. Este artículo analiza la presencia y ausencia del patrimonio en los ODS aprobados en 2015 y nos presenta cómo muchas de sus metas se lograrían más eficazmente si se tiene en consideración esta dimensión intrínsecamente humana de participar, generar y abastecerse de cultura, además de ver cómo, si nos centramos en el patrimonio desde un enfoque en derechos, identificaremos caminos que puedan más fácilmente favorecer la consecución …
Gender training for the judiciary in Argentina
2014
AbstractIn this paper I describe the two major Argentine experiences of gender training for the judiciary against the background of two relevant trends, women's entry in considerable numbers into the judiciary and the process of expansion of women's rights initiated after the restoration of democracy. The gap between the passing of progressive legislation and its lack of enforcement speaks of a tradition of women's subordination that is much engrained in our society and in its legal system. In spite of the existence of progressive egalitarian legislation stereotyped thinking prevails to prevent progressive legal practices. This constitutes a strong argument for gender training of the judici…
M.N. e altri c. Belgio: qualche osservazione dissenziente
2021
In this commentary to the M.N. v. Belgium case, the authors criticize the three fundamental arguments on which the decision of the European Court of Human Rights is founded: the approach based on ‘originalism’, the approach based on the Courts’ precedents, and the approach based on consequentialism. As far as consequentialism is concerned, the authors approve the use of non strictly legal arguments in the Court’s reasoning, convinced as they are that human rights courts, more than any other judge, are not la bouche de la loi, but hold political power. We criticize the Court's choice to give space to only one of the (possible) political consequences of its decision, completely disregarding a…
