Structural Discrimination in Physical Education. The “Encounter” Between the (White) Norwegian Teaching Content in Physical Education Lessons and Fem…
2021
Background: Throughout society, including in the field of sports and physical education (PE), there are extensive debates on racism and structural racism. Researchers have found that students of color experience racial stereotyping and discrimination in PE. Studies also show that PE teaching practices reflect a masculine culture, emphasizing traditional (Western) competitive male sports and physical fitness practices, while marginalizing female students of color. Simultaneously these students also negotiate, resist, and operate as visible agents within these practices. While previous research has tended toward focusing on the experiences (of discrimination) from the perspective of students …
Gendered Violence Online : Hate Speech as an Intersection of Misogyny and Racism
2020
Social media has been adopted by radical right populists and alt-right demagogues as a platform for circulating misogynous and racist hate speech and affectively mobilising supporters. This chapter examines hate speech as a form of gendered and racist violence, focusing on social media posts by two influential right-wing populist politicians: Jussi Halla-aho, the leader of the Finns Party, and Donald Trump, the president of the United States. It demonstrates how these politicians intertwine misogyny and racism in blog posts and tweets that target women in particular. Their affective online communication is interpreted as a new form of violence. This digitally mediated violence, although a r…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2018
La reciente crisis migratoria ha multiplicado el número de personas en edad escolar que migran forzosamente. La integración de los menores en los países de acogida exige no solo su escolarización sino una inclinación de la comunidad educativa para aceptar dicha realidad y gestionar críticamente las políticas europeas migratorias. A nivel europeo hay un creciente rechazo hacia el fenómeno migratorio y hacia las políticas europeas. El estudio analiza las actitudes hacia los refugiados mediante la percepción de amenaza real y simbólica y las reacciones afectivas que los futuros profesores experimentan. Además, explora en qué medida las actitudes hacia los refugiados se relacionan con una ciuda…
Migranti e ossessione securitaria. Il razzismo e la destra in Europa
2020
In this contribution, Pirrone observes and explains how the obsession with security is the result of great manipulation by the dominant forces and how racism becomes the ideology useful for legitimizing, for the purposes of economic exploitation, the practices of underseating migrants. The world capitalist liberalism - argues the author - represents migrants as the enemies of the way of life and well-being of rich countries and building an imaginary imaginary inspired by the idea of a threatening "invasion", agreeing on the one hand to hide the defeat induced by neoliberal domination and, on the other, to regulate and collectiveize the native and foreign workforce. In particular attention t…
La tetra notte della ragione. L'ossessione della sicurezza, l'onda lunga del razzismo e il riemergere del nazifascismo in Europa
2018
La criminalizzazione delle migrazioni, oltre a rivelarsi funzionale al mantenimento della disuguaglianza giuridica, politica e sociale degli immigrati, precondizione per il controllo e lo sfruttamento della mobilità umana straniera in modo coerente per gli attuali assetti dell’economia capitalistica, è anche una modalità per distogliere l’attenzione dell’opinione pubblica da tutti i problemi generati dal neoliberismo mondiale, e il razzismo diviene al contempo ideologia che legittima tale discriminazione e valvola di sfogo del malessere sociale ed economico indirizzato verso un nuovo capro espiatorio, come già successo in passato nella storia d’Europa. L’ossessione per la sicurezza si rivel…
Controllo della mobilità del lavoro straniero e razzismo culturale
2013
The international migration is an economic and political matter. Infact, economic and political is its history, that began with the dawn of capitalism, which by definition requires the free mobility of the workforce, but also needs to subject it to strict controls not to let it become elusive as it is free to move. To understand the racist abuses that accompany the migration policies in Europe and Italy, it is necessary to focus on certain elements that could be examined closely. It concerns the history of the capitalist economy and the relationships between the advanced capitalist countries and those from which the migrants move. In this speech we intend to show how there is a precise rela…

“Who’s Afraid of the Dark?”: The Ironic Self-Stereotype of the Ethnic Other in Finnish Rap Music
2017
Drawing on recent sociolinguistic work on globalization and superdiversity, this chapter explores the multisemiotic and ironic construction of the self-stereotype of the ethnic Other in a Finnish rap music video. Because Finland and Finnish hip-hop are still ethnically relatively homogeneous, people of migrant background, such as rap artist Musta Barbaari (Black Barbarian), need to negotiate their belonging in various ways. In the video, he deliberately constructs himself as the ethnicized and sexualized Other to highlight prejudice, discrimination and racism. In doing this, he voices societal critique and dissatisfaction – and speaks for multiculturalism and tolerance in (super)diversifyin…
La ciència, la filosofia i la intel·ligència contra el racisme
2022
El text és una reflexió al voltant del racisme i la "raciologia", és a dir, la pseudociència que fa dos segles va justificar l'existència de races humanes basant-se en trets físics i psicològics. Per tant, amb el text pretenem recollir les noves aportacions científiques en contra de la raciologia i del racisme, amb finalitats educatives i interculturals.
