Lo statuto dei neocittadini negli accordi di sinecismo, sympoliteia e isopoliteia
No full textABSTRACTThe status of new citizens in the agreements of synoikismos, sympoliteia and isopoliteiaAs part of a broader investigation into the phenomenon of political unifications (politographies) in the Hellenistic Greek world, this paper aims to offer some preliminary observations on the contribution that synoikismos, sympoliteia, and isopoliteia agreements can make to our understanding of ancient conceptions of citizenship. Taken as a whole, this category of documents reveals an extraordinary and detailed awareness of the issues arising from the incorporation of new citizens and highlights the areas in which the poleis – and thus their ruling elites – chose to legislate. Indirectly, they also shed light on the elements and prerogatives considered essential for the definition of the polites
«Come alberi senza radici»: le sfide dell’accoglienza ai giovani migranti nelle narrazioni degli operatori
No full text«LIKE TREES WITHOUT ROOTS»: THE CHALLENGES OF SUPPORTING YOUNG MIGRANTS IN PRACTITIONERS’ NARRATIVESAbstractThe article explores the challenges that operators of reception centers face when working with young migrants. The research analyzes the perspectives of professionals who participated in an experiential training project based on case discussions. Six main themes emerge from the observational reports: learning the Italian language, meeting deadlines, sending money home, the temptation of «easy money», bureaucratic complexities, and difficulties in mutual understanding. The narratives around these themes show the many «voices» involved (regulatory framework, institutions, migrants, families) and the complexity of managing integration requests. Many of such requests are indeed full of paradoxes and difficulties. Operators seem to find themselves amid these tensions alongside their young clients, caught between standard regulatory demands and the reality of individual particular cases. In this complex scenario, the role of the operators is crucial. Not only do they offer services with practical utility, but they also act as a bridge between two worlds that meet and clash, requiring the deployment of intercultural sensitivity and the capacity for empathetic listening
The Concept of Sharing in the Polis: Its Origins and Early Developments
No full textABSTRACTThis article revisits the origins and development of the language of ‘sharing’ (in particular, the verbs metechein, meteinai, metadidonai, and metalambanein) in literary sources, situating it within broader debates on citizenship, political participation, and the development of abstract language. I argue that scholarly emphasis on the distinction between metechein tēs poleōs and metechein tēs politeias risks obscuring a broader semantic continuum and adaptation encompassing both political and non-political uses, together with the interplay between concrete and abstract notions of ‘sharing’. Through a philological analysis of key terms across poetic, dramatic, historiographical, and oratorical sources, I demonstrate that the vocabulary of participation emerges gradually and that ‘sharing’ terminology can be used for a variety of entities. The political meaning of ‘sharing’ crystallises only in the classical period but retains conceptual links with older notions of distribution, equality, and communal belonging. This paper also shows that the political, religious, and other dimensions of ‘sharing’ remain largely distinct in classical sources, even when they use similar lexis. It focuses on the first attestations and the earliest political uses of these terms to show the specific context in which they entered the Athenian political lexicon in the classical period and clarifies their subsequent specialisation

Diritto Romano senza confini. Le tecnologie digitali nella romanistica e nella Rivista di Diritto Romano
No full textAbstractThis contribution traces the relationship between Roman law scholarship and digital technologies, written in connection with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Rivista di Diritto Romano. From the outset, the journal was conceived as a digital and openly accessible platform, anticipating developments that would later become central to academic publishing. The paper reviews key stages in this transformation, from early electronic databases and text corpora to online research environments and computational methods applied to sources of Roman law. It also argues for a clear methodological distinction between tools designed for access and retrieval, those used for linguistic and textual analysis, and more limited forms of computational modelling. The final section considers recent work in computational Roman law studies, including multispectral imaging, digital apographs, distributional semantics, stylometry, and AI-assisted approaches to textual lacunae, with reference to Gai Institutiones. Digital methods, it concludes, strengthen scholarly control and transparency while leaving interpretive judgement with the researcher
Considerazioni sulle occorrenze del termine Galatai nel Corpus Aristotelicum
No full textAbstractThe dies agonales were four specific days marked on the calendar. According to Varron, on these days the rex sacrificed a ram in the Regia, but he does not specify the divinity and meaning of the ceremony. This article suggests that Jupiter was the recipient of the sacrifice and that it was intended to ensure the protection of the city and agricultural abundance
Sulla definizione di cittadino nel libro III della Politica: il metodo di Aristotele tra theoria, empeiria e storia delle praxeis
No full textABSTRACTOn the definition of citizen in book III of Politics: Aristotle’s method betweentheoria, empeiria and the history of praxeisAny attempt to grasp Aristotle’s definition of the citizen in Book III of the Politics necessarily entails reflection on the method of his inquiry. It is method that Aristotle adopts within the domain of political science, and which he accordingly employs when his investigation turns to the citizen as the minimal unit of the city. What deserves particular emphasis is how Aristotle establishes with precision both the object of his inquiry – the polis conceived as a multitude of citizens – and its ultimate purpose: the identification of those who bear political responsibility and exercise sovereign power. The present analysis contends that Aristotle’s treatment cannot be fragmented: the definition of citizenship must be understood within the theoretical framework that hosts it, inseparably bound to the discussion of political responsibility and the sovereignty of citizens. Aristotle takes as his point of departure a contemporary political debate concerning who assumes responsibility for praxeis in the polis, and through this concrete framework develops his theoretical reflection. Close examination reveals the seamless interaction between theoria and empeiria in Aristotle’s procedure: the definition formulated in Chapter 1 undergoes continuous verification through the empirical data and historical cases examined in Chapter 2, notably including practices of colonization and naturalization. The citizen in the unqualified sense (haplos) is defined by the faculty (exousia) of exercising deliberative and judicial functions – functions which qualify participation in the sovereign body (kyrion) of the politeia. This definition retains its validity across different constitutional forms, thereby demonstrating Aristotle’s commitment to grounding theoretical analysis in the observation of actual poleis and their historical praxeis
Civic Education and Bullying: Strengthening the Civic Disposition in Preventing Bullying in Junior High Schools
No full textAbstractBullying is a persistent form of violence that disrupts the educational environment and harms students’ emotional and academic development. Addressing bullying requires more than just punishment; it involves promoting civic virtues like responsibility, empathy, and respect that help students build inclusive communities. This qualitative case study examined how junior high schools in Surabaya use civic education, specifically the Pendidikan Pancasila (Pancasila Education) subject, to foster civic dispositions and prevent bullying. Data were collected from January to April 2024 through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis across four state junior high schools. Participants included students, teachers, and principals. Interview transcripts and field notes were thematically coded and analyzed using NVivo 15. The findings show that schools have implemented procedures to prevent and address bullying, and that Pancasila Education classes effectively promote civic dispositions and reduce bullying incidents. By incorporating value-based activities such as case discussions, role plays, and anti-bullying declarations, schools encourage students to internalize democratic values and act as defenders rather than perpetrators or bystanders. The study emphasizes the importance of aligning civic education with broader anti-bullying strategies and offers recommendations for improving curriculum and policy
La grande traversée: de l’émigration sénégalaise à l’ancrage brésilien. Géographie politique d’une route transatlantique et analyse socio-économique d’une insertion urbaine
No full textAbstractThe Great Crossing: From Senegalese Emigration to Brazilian Settlement. Political Geography of a Transatlantic Route and Socio-Economic Analysis of an Urban IntegrationThis article, presented at the founding congress of the Association Internationale de Géographie Francophone in 2023, adopts a multi-sited and multi-scalar approach to analyze Senegalese migration trajectories to Brazil in the 2010s. It examines the political geography of these South-South routes, the transitions between stages, and the events that have reconfigured migration paths. The study also explores how Senegalese migrants integrate into Brazilian cities, transform urban spaces through new economic activities, and how settlement gradually evolves into a form of commercial and circular mobility
