Unaccompanied Foreign Minors in Italy: Problems, Contradictions and Social Inequalities.
2018
In recent years, in Italy, the interest in Unaccompanied Foreign Minors has increased, also because the number of migrant arrivals has increased . The theme has activated several debates and policies to manage emergencies and to reply to the needs of children . In 2016, the minors who arrived on Italian coasts were 24 .929 . Sicily is the main region that hosts migrants and where 40,9% of the Unaccompanied Foreign Minors are present . The analysis proposes a reflection on the difficulties encountered by minors in the new country and on the contradictions that come from the different meaning that age, as a conceptual category and as the organizational principle of society, has for the social…

Visiting the King of the World
2009
Apsilankymas pas Pasaulio karalių – tai tema, kuri bent paviršutiniškai supažindina su egzistuojančiais daugiau ar mažiau ezoteriniais pasakojimais, kartais net gana fantastiškais, kuriuose kalbama apie viršžmogiškosiomis galiomis apdovanotas būtybes, gyvenančias, atrodo, žemės gelmėse, Azijos žemių platybėse, Himalajų regione, Mongolijoje ar Tibete. „Pasaulio karalius“ – pavadinimas 1927 m. parašyto veikalo, kurio autorius René Guénonas – prancūzų ezoterikas ir mistikas, gimęs 1886 m. Blois, miręs 1951 m. Kaire. Iš literatūros kūrinių – ir kelionių aprašymų, ir fantastinių romanų – be Jules‘io „Kelionės į žemės centrą“ galima paminėti Ferdinando Ossendowskio knygą „Gyvuliai, žmonės ir diev…

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…
Developing narrative identities in youth pre-elite sport : bridging the present and the future
2019
Narrative research has contributed to understandings of athletic identity as an evolving story of the self that is creatively put together by the agentic individual but necessarily dependent on broader narratives within which we all live our lives. However, most studies in sport have focused on retrospective ‘big stories’ of athletes’ lives, rather than on-going, future-oriented identity construction through storytelling. In this study, we explored Finnish pre-elite athletes’ emerging stories of the self to understand the processes associated with the narrative selection and the resources they tap into in making sport meaningful to them. Nine women and eight men aged 17–18 were invited to c…
Geophysics and cultural heritage. A living field of research for Italian geophysicists
2015
If one reads the World Heritage List 2002/2003, (http:// whc.unesco.org/archive/WHList02-ENG.pdf), a datum comes out with evidence: 12 countries have 253 World Heritage Sites (WHS) and all the 125 member countries have 586 WHS. Within these 12 countries Italy has 35 WHS corresponding to about 6% of the whole, followed by Spain, 5.8%, France, 4.6%, and the tenth has less than 2% of WHS. Cultural heritage is one of the greatest riches of Italy. Europe, with China, is the land which has the most stratified history in the world, and Italy is likely to still have undiscovered settlements dating from the prehistoric age to the 18th century. Some areas are totally unexplored, others have been only…
