La tentazione autoritaria. L'Itala liberale e il governo dei migliori
2012
In this essay argues that the Italy of the end of the millennium and the sunset of the nineteenth century were united by an authoritarian temptation. A shiny, modern and reactionary political project of the Government of the best that you can find in Southern Italy, and focus on the debate, his lab and in the great war his testbed. A generation of great nationalist intellectuals (and meridionalisti) began looking for an alternative political model to the liberal-democrat, much more suitable, according to them, the transformations that modernity had started in Italy and Europe.
I beni confiscati come nuovo spazio pubblico
2014
Nel territorio a nord-est di Palermo la criminalità organizzata, in molte occasioni, ha condizionato il potere politico e amministrativo e inciso su valori e abitudini collettive, esercitando unʼinfluenza determinante nellʼespansione periurbana e nella conseguente trasformazione del paesaggio agrario. Alcuni dei principali centri oggetto della ricerca hanno governato il territorio sotto il controllo sistematico della mafia rendendo necessario lʼintervento dello Stato. Esaminare i rapporti tra amministrazioni locali e Cosa nostra in quei luoghi permette di individuare ricorrenze criminali nella gestione dei beni collettivi e di concentrare lʼattenzione sulle proprietà confiscate. In the nort…
Clientelismo e metodo mafioso: network Criminali e pubblica amministrazione in Sicilia
2011
Quale relazione lega clientelismo e mafia? Quali elementi accomunano crimine dei potenti e metodo mafioso? Come si strutturano i sistemi criminali nelle realtà locali? Il saggio presenta una selezione ragionata di studi sulle relazioni tra clientelismo e mafia (par. 1) e sulle reti che si configurano nell’interconnessione tra sistemi criminali e pubblica amministrazione (par. 2). Tali studi permettono di leggere tanto fenomeni storici, come i comitati d’affari che asservivano i poteri pubblici nella Palermo degli anni Cinquanta (par. 3), tanto fenomeni più recenti, come quelli che, dal 1991 in poi, rientrano nella fattispecie dei Comuni e degli enti locali commissariati per infiltrazioni ma…

Shape-Shifting Tales. Michèle Roberts's Monstrous Women
2010
The book provides an analysis of the representation of women’s bodies and their monstrous metamorphoses in selected short stories by contemporary English writer Michèle Roberts. The author explores the relationship between traditional fairy tales such as the Grimm Brothers’ and Charles Perrault’s, the lives of female saints and Roberts’s counter-narratives, focussing on the analysis of images of sublimed fleshliness and of acts of monstrous violence on the body. The book takes into account relevant Women’s Studies criticism regarding the mother-daughter relationship, as Roberts’s stories question the role of mother figures in traditional fairy tales and hagiography and at the same time rewo…

Sicilian Temporary Ponds: An Overview of the Composition and Affinities of their Crustacean Biota
2009
Available data on Sicilian entomostracans allowed an initial characterization of the freshwater crustacean biota of the island and to formulate some hypotheses on its origin.The absence of supra-specific endemic taxa and the current regional distriburion of the investigated species suggest a late Pleistocene colonisation of the island by temperate taxa with a northern affinity, currently confined to the coolest areas of the island, followed by a Holocene arrival of thermophilous species coming from the Maghreb, which is still in progress. The importance of Sicily as a "crossroad" for the faunas of the circum-Mediterranean countries is thus confirmed.Unfortunately, and in spite of the EU dir…
Foreign (In)Direct Investment in Chinese Contemporary Art Game: The Case Studies of Uli Sigg, Guy Ullens and beyond, 1989-2013
2021
The boom in Chinese contemporary art is the result of China’s opening to foreign investment and private entrepreneurship in 1978, and the significant contribution by the transnational art enterprises of long-term patron-investor-collectors, such as Uli Sigg and Guy Ullens, between approximately 1989 and 2013. Through the opportunity offered by the gap between the private market mechanism and national heritage process for the “art game”, these investors used a variation of the controversial “Saatchi model” to generate high ROI. A further effect has been to bring CCA onto the global stage and complete the ecosystem of the art industry, building a foundation for the art economy of post-Mao Chi…
Religion and Social Integration ‘Crises’ in North Western Europe: Some Conclusions
2013
My investigation of religion-related social integration crises in four North West European societies in the period 2001–11 began with the English case and the riots in some Northern English cities of 2001. In concluding I shall start again with this case, bringing it together with the Dutch, French and Northern Irish evidence we have now considered, and with my findings across each of the dimensions examined (segregation, media, institutional forms of multiculturalism and secularism, far-right and post-liberal mobilisation and national cultural trauma). Since much attention has been given to factors which shape conflict and influence the construction of prejudice, and especially to the nega…
