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…

Mobilizing against the Other : cyberhate, refugee crisis and proximization
2017
Drawing on the insights from Media Proximization Approach (MPA), the present chapter explores the dynamics of the online construction of the Other in the context of current refugee crisis and the phenomenon of hate speech within cyberspace. While content- and theme-wise, it takes under scrutiny online refugee-related discourses, on the theoretical and methodological level it presents a new approach to mediated construction of social reality based on the notion of distance and Self/Other or Us/Them dichotomy. Coached within (Cognitive) Critical Discourse Analysis, such an approach calls for an integration of corpus linguistics methods and tools. The chapter addresses the following questions:…
The urban rent in the multicultural city: retail shops, migrants and urban decline in the historic centre of Palermo [La rendita urbana nella città m…
2020
Changes in consumer shopping behavior and in retail spaces, such as shopping malls, department stores and e-commerce, have modified localization models of traditional retail shops, also affecting urban fabric and spatial distribution of urban rent. Even city centers have undergone significant transformations or even decline, especially if local economic system and real estate market are weak and recessionary. A significant amount of commercial properties may have long vacancy due to excess supply, since many traditional shops close their business because they are no longer competitive and, moreover, there is no immediate takeover by new tenants. The decline of central urban areas depends on…

Understanding the health care pattern of homeless children through their residential journey
2021
En Île-de-France, l’hôtel social est souvent mobilisé par les associations pour héberger des familles, principalement migrantes et accompagnées d’enfants de moins de 6 ans. À cet âge, l’enfant nécessite un suivi de soins régulier auprès des professionnels pédiatriques. Nous supposons que ce suivi est dépendant de la mobilité résidentielle inhérente au système d’hébergement hôtelier. Cet article a pour objectif de reconstituer le parcours résidentiel des familles et le parcours de soins de leurs enfants et de saisir comment ces derniers s’influencent. La démonstration repose sur 18 entretiens biographiques spatialisés réalisés entre 2013 et 2016 auprès des familles sans logement hébergées en…
A nomad from within? : resilient identities in an interconnected world : Russian-speaking immigrant women in Italy (re)-constructing the self
2017
Within the current political context of global migration the concept of ‘identity’ has played a major role in the struggle between assimilative and exclusionary practices and policies. Such policies in many cases are the result of a wronged imagination about human identity and the subjects who possess it. In my master’s thesis I conceptualize ‘resilient identity’ as an innovative and highly needed approach to studying today’s constantly transforming subjectivity. Through the analysis of the self-narratives of Russian-speaking female immigrants in Italy, I explore how ‘resilience of identity’ is constructed and manifests itself. My thesis additionally brings together the philosophical and th…

Sytuacja życiowa osób starszych w województwie opolskim, których dzieci wyemigrowały za granicę - wybrane aspekty
2016
Stale zwiększający się udział osób starszych w społeczeństwie wiąże się z koniecznością zabezpieczenia ich potrzeb ‒ przede wszystkim zdrowotnych, finansowych, w zakresie kontaktów międzyludzkich oraz udzielania wsparcia w organizacji życia codziennego. W szczególnej sytuacji znajdują się osoby starsze, których dorosłe dzieci przebywają za granicą, gdyż ‒ jak pokazały przeprowadzone przez autorki badania ‒ nieobecność członków najbliższej rodziny ceduje obowiązek zabezpieczenia wymienionych potrzeb na instytucje (ośrodki pomocy społecznej, domy pomocy społecznej i organizacje pozarządowe) oraz osoby z najbliższego otoczenia (sąsiadów). Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie relacji z rodziną, p…
“At the Western Palace”: The Dehumanization of Whiteness, Americanness, and Chinese-Americanness in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior
2021
The dehumanization of whiteness in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior (1976) inheres in the overarching ghosthood metaphor. While first generation Chinese American immigrants in The Woman Warrior attribute the power of transforming people into ghosts to the United States of America as a country, the questioning of a person’s humanity by calling them a “ghost” is not reserved for white people alone. Chinese American immigrants also run the risk of losing their humanity and becoming ghosts if they renounce their relatives and their heritage. The husband of the first-person narrator’s Chinese aunt, Moon Orchid, is an example of a Chinese American man, who turns into a ghost on account of…
