Compartint visions sobre l’educació: Un projecte intergeneracional amb sèniors de la Universitat dels Majors y estudiants de Magisteri
2021
Memoria y patrimonio vivo es un proyecto de innovación educativa centrado en el diálogo intergeneracional de las experiencias de vida y de vida educativa entre estudiantes séniors (Universitat dels Majors) y juniors (estudiantes de Magisterio Infantil), que se ha desarrollado en la Universitat de València (Campus d’Ontinyent) con sesiones quincenales a lo largo de seis meses de trabajo. Durante el proyecto se estableció un diálogo intergeneracional sobre la educación a lo largo de la vida que permitió obtener diferentes visiones y superar estereotipos mutuos entre personas de distintas generaciones al aprender unas de otras a través de la interacción directa. El hecho de utilizar metodologí…
Etnografia, auto-biografia, storie di vita
2020
Se è banale osservare che ogni scrittura letteraria, narrativa o poetica, anche quando non esplicitamente diretta al racconto della propria vita, contiene spesso deliberati o inconsapevoli riferimenti alla biografia umana e intellettuale dell’autore e ne rivela le inclinazioni ideologiche, non altrettanto banale è sottolineare come certe strategie e certi esiti narrativi, anche accidentali, possano ritrovarsi in una scrittura, quella antropologica appunto, che si dichiara (o almeno per lungo tempo si è dichiarata) scientifica e che pretende, pertanto, di offrire descrizioni e interpretazioni obiettive, asettiche potrebbe dirsi, di realtà culturali “altre”. Non è d’altronde questionabile che…
Queer Male (Post)Soviet Narratives in Interviews by Rita Ruduša and Fiktion by Klāvs Smilgzieds
2015
One culture within a culture is the culture of LGBT people in Latvia or, to use a contemporary designation, queer culture. In Latvia, queer culture is still practically invisible. In this paper I will analyse two types of queer narratives: documentary life stories collected by Rita Rudusa in her book Forced Underground (2012) and the manuscript of a collection of 12 short stories by Klāvs Smilgzieds (2014), originally published serially during the 1990s in an under ground Latvian gay magazine. Both types of texts employ different emphasis talking about queers in Soviet and post-Soviet life. Rudusa’s interviews reflect on the situation of being in the closet and on fear and loneliness, while…
Elulood Läti etniliste kultuuride uurimises: liivlaste ja mustlaste lood
2014
Even though narrating is a universal phenomenon, there is no one universal narration model, much less a universal life story model. This is also verified by the life stories from various ethnic groups that have long lived among Latvians in the Latvian cultural space. Life stories play an important role in the research of ethnic history and social memory, because both Roma and Livonian cultures and their transmission between generations have traditionally been based on the oral tradition. Any attempt to reconstruct the history of these two ethnic groups is therefore encumbered as well as open to various interpretations. Life stories can likewise be interpreted in different ways. This article…
Ethnic diversity in the construction of life stories in Latvia
2017
Ethnic diversity in the construction of life stories in Latvia Latvian society is ethnically diverse and has the largest proportion of ethnic minorities of the three Baltic States. The article draws upon life-story research with respondents from Russian and Romany communities in Latvia. These communities have different social, historical and cultural experiences, thereby allowing them to be contrasted and compared. Ethnic diversity can be considered one of the benefits of Latvia’s cultural identity because it provides the opportunity not only to become acquainted with the characteristics and uniqueness of each culture but also to establish which traits unite these cultures, thereby creating…
Life beyond the camp : rethinking return, reconstruction and women's expression of lived experiences in Northern Uganda
2015
The conflict in Northern Uganda is recognized as having come to an end with the signing of a cessation of hostilities agreement between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda in August 2006, which resulted in improved security. Estimates suggest that the majority of the displaced populations have left their camps and moved either to transit sites near farms or to their village of origin. Much research has been done on the living conditions of women in the Ugandan IDP camps yet very little has been written on the situation for women who return home or resettle after the camp. This study aims at understanding the gender specific challenges of formerly conflict-displaced women…
Social Inclusion and Exclusion in the Life Stories of Deported Asylum Seekers from Finland to Iraqi Kurdistan
2018
This study explores how social inclusion and exclusion manifest as a dynamic continuum in the everyday lived realities of irregular migrants. Based on narratives of Iraqi Kurdish asylum seekers, who were eventually deported from Finland, the analysis depicts the ways in which societal structures, personal negotiations as well as relationships and social networks interplay in lives characterized by multiple locations, transitions and positions. Establishing and maintaining social contacts, belonging to various networks and being able to decide and act are primary factors that help us understand how the narrators relate to the continuum. The participants construct narratives illustrating seve…
