Preface, MIGRANTS, CULTURAL IDENTITY AND MEDIA REPRESENTATION
2011
This work, which has been conceived in a user-andenvironmentally friendly digital format, focuses on the issue of migrants and refugees from the perspectives of both media representation and cultural identity. This theme is undeniably central because of the high influence of media representations and collective perceptions on migration policies. In these times of global risk, political decisions repeatedly comply with highly popular opinions, which are predominant within a given society. This is where the role of media becomes crucial, as they not only mediate the relationships between societies and migrants’ problems, but they also maneuver them. Some of the greatest living sociologists co…

Introduzione
2020
Le migrazioni contemporanee sono l’effetto del bisogno di protezione e di sopravvivenza di popolazioni che fuggono da contesti bellici o persecuzioni di carattere politico o religioso o ancora dalla piaga della povertà, che ne mette a rischio la sopravvivenza (Petrovic, 2018). Dal 2016 ad oggi sono più di 20 milioni i rifugiati che sono entrati in Europa ottenendo asilo politico in base alla ex Convenzione di Ginevra. L'introduzione della curatrice del n. 2/2020 di Welfare e Ergonomia – dal titolo Respingimenti e Politiche di accoglienza orientate bottom up al riconoscimento delle vittime della violenza migratoria – riflette su tematiche strettamente connesse ai processi di riconoscimento e…
Il ruolo delle donne nell’accoglienza e nell’inclusione dei migranti. Tratteggi di un’agency al femminile
2020
Today, the identification of migrants with asylum seekers and the overestimation of inflows – also referred to as the “refugee crisis” – has meant that Italy, as a politically strategic borderland of Europe, coincides with a battleground between sovereign drives and solidarity tensions. If refugees are the most visible object of political contention, governance operated by Ngo’s and, more generally, by civil society, sees women in the front row in a battle aimed at re-humanizing politics. The clash, which lasted for weeks between Captain Rackete of Sea Watch 3 and Minister Salvini, did not only represent a confrontation between reception policies and rejection policies, between the dehumani…
Migrants, cultural identity and media rappresentation
2011
This work, which has been conceived in a user-andenvironmentally friendly digital format, focuses on the issue of migrants and refugees from the perspectives of both media representation and cultural identity. This theme is undeniably central because of the high influence of media representations and collective perceptions on migration policies.

Clandestini a Lampedusa:isolati, segregati, invisibili
2006
Social construction processes of migrant, often clandestine migrant, among the inhabitants of Lampedusa, have recorded, in the last years, a gradual moving from a prevaling sympathetic optics combined with human solidarity forms – even if not without defensive processes and forms of racism and xenophobia – to more and more clear dynamics of exclusion, often joint with intolerant, cynical and indifferent attitudes. The social representation of the stranger isn’t, however, either unvarying or coherent. Infact, the collected interviews give evidence for continuous oscillations between the wish to understand – that increases when there is an interaction with the strangers – and the need to defe…
Oltre l'irrilevanza del consenso e la colpa individuale. Posizioni di vulnerabilità e responsabilità sistemiche nello sfruttamento e nella tratta del…
2018
Il concetto ontologico di dignità umana, kantianamente inteso, sembra sostanziare le disposizioni normative nazionali e internazionali che delimitano la libertà contrattuale. Eppure, il bilanciamento dei principi di dignità e libertà contrattuale è un’operazione molto più problematica di quanto possa di primo acchito sembrare perché anche la libertà contrattuale è un principio di difficile definizione, che in un mercato del lavoro liberale tende a tramutarsi nello strumento attraverso il quale è sancito il potere delle parti più forti, mentre quelle più deboli sono piuttosto forzate ad “acconsentire” alle condizioni imposte all’interno di una negoziazione asimmetrica, secondo una dinamica b…

Migrant Families, Social Policies and Community Relations: Towards What (Kind Of) Integration?
2022
This article aims to present a few considerations regarding the phenomenon of migrant families’ integration processes, in the broader framework of the relationship between politics, policies and services. The stabilization of migrant people in Italy has determined, on the one hand, the growth of the family-based character of the immigrant population, in the face of which, institutions and reception services, in the wake of policy directives, have been called upon to remodel interventions and integration practices. On the other hand, the drastic reduction in political attention to the social, civil and economic integration of migrants and, in particular, of migrant families, linked to the di…
Media e migranti: l'Altro nell'informazione italiana
2010
Il saggio propone un'analisi delle strategie rappresentative dell'informazione italiana sui migranti. La copertura giornalistica dell'altro rivela e conferma stereotipi e iperboli che raccontano il diverso in modo sostanzialmente distorto, con significative ricadute sul piano cognitivo dei lettori-telespettatori .
