Models and innovative practices for welcoming and safeguarding unaccompanied migrant minors
2020
The number of unaccompanied minors (Uams) arriving in Italy, and in all parts of Europe, has been rising significantly in the last few years, and constitutes a particular phenomenon that has demanded considerable re-organization of the welcoming system and, more generally, the welfare system. The organization of a dedicated welcoming system was established over a certain period of time, through an approach of adaptation and experimentation. The first interventions were characterized by a continuous state of emergency, which prevented effective activation of programmed action. This critical situation still exists in certain Regions up to the present day. Despite the recent development of a n…
“Doing Family” and Religious Belonging of Immigrants. Case Studies in South Italy
2023
The immigration and integration policies reveal the difficulty of the host society to institutionalize new models of social differences accompanying integration process. What happens when people of different cultures, values, religion live together? Immigrants who “arrive” continue their life in a place where they do not passively participate over time but become actors. Pressed by the hegemonic culture of the host society, immigrants do not cease to practice their religious and origin cultural expressions. Considering the impact of religion and origin cul¬tural values on public and private expression of differences, it is important to consider their role (between persistence and innovation…
Migrations in Tanzania between the XIX and XX centuries: Social aspects and characteristics
2001
The salient features of Tanzanian migration are depicted through an overview of the national history. It appears that there are major differences, also in comparison with other developing countries. There are little migratory flows towards the Western world; however, internal displacement is a prominent phenomenon, as a consequence of internal political turmoil in the country. Besides the specificity of each historical periods (colonialist and socialist rule; opening to the market economy), there appears to be some common aspects regarding Tanzanian migration: the phenomenon appears to be mainly an internal forced displacement, either imposed by the Government or by the need to survive in t…

Between militantism and academic research: rethinking hospitality and solidarity in the context of the EU’s political crisis
In the current context of the so-called migration crisis, it is essential to recall that the crisis per se is much more a political crisis than it is a disequilibrium in migration movements. Though Europe has seen an increase in the arrival of migrants, and especially of asylum seekers, the last year has actually been characterized by a drastic reduction of arrivals. The fortress Europe has indeed tightened its grip, by over-controlling and militarizing European borders and the Mediterranean Sea. The growing tendency of European national governments to reach out to far-right and populist movements that have as a main political line the control of immigration, makes it necessary to build cit…

Il razzismo contro i Rom all’epoca del capitalismo globale
2014
Il capitalismo è un modo di produzione centrato sulla imprescindibile mobilità, e flessibilità, della forza-lavoro su scala mondiale. Al contempo tale modo di produzione ha la necessità di disciplinare questa forza-lavoro ai fini del processo di accumulazione del capitale. Oggi come ieri dunque il capitalsmo, di fronte al l’imperioso e progressivo processo che ha portato alla libertà di movimento di merci e capitali in tutto il globo, sottopone la mobilità della forza-lavoro a varie forme di governo, regolamentazione, controllo, disciplinamento, per poter consentire l’accumulazione del capitale. Il razzismo, fin dall’epoca della schiavitù, svolge un ruolo attivo nella produzione e legittima…
Talking about Migration: the Online Discourse of Some Italian Political Party Leaders
2020
The aims of the article are to deconstruct the frames of migration crisis embedded on the official web sites, social networks and blogs belonging to the leaders of the main Italian political parties, positioned on different points of the left or right political spectrum, in the period 2015-2016. According to the relevance of the Italian context, we are also going to study the position of a party that can be considered a post-ideological movement that represents itself as outside of a traditional political spectrum: the Five-star Movement. We analysed text, images and videos published on the Internet 2.0 sites in order to show the legacy of colonialism that was characterized by the ambivalen…

Catalani nel Val Demone tra Trecento e Quattrocento. Spazi, ruoli, interazioni
2015
Contaminata ed eterogenea, l'identità siciliana - culturale, linguistica, istituzionale - trae alimento da apporti diversi. Un tassello dei quali è quello catalano destinato dopo una fase di iniziale entusiamo, a incunearsi in modo problematico nel tessuto economico e politico dell'isola. Il lavoro si propone di analizzare i processi di incontro, scontro ed eventualmente fusione tra siciliani e catalani, focalizzando i meccanismi di accorpamento e coesistenza, gli spazi identitari ritagliati dagli uni e dagli altri in due momenti nodali: il primo Trecento, quando sulla scia del Vespro l'isola è raggiunta da un'ondata di catalani al seguito di Pietro III d'Aragona; e il Quattrocento, quando …
