Viabilità relazionale: una prospettiva im/mobile delle relazioni nel Gambia transnazionale
No full textWhile anthropologists have long studied how mobility and immobility shape social relationships, this article describes relatedness itself as a form of im/mobility. It draws on ethnographic research among Soninke speakers in the Gambia and in the diaspora who express their relationship to others through images of what could be characterized as “viability”. The conceptual metaphor of viability serves to analyse three aspects of relational im/mobility. Firstly, viability hints at the infrastructural aspects, such as when Soninke speakers imagine kinship as a road or a network of roads connecting and channelling kinsfolk. Secondly, such relational paths are more or less viable, socially, affectively and economically, depending on whether related people travel either collectively or in a scattered fashion, either closer to or away from each other. Thirdly, viability captures the existential aspect of relatedness, for Soninke speakers also perceive others as entering, inhabiting and exiting their own lives and living condition
Diventare “mappe vive”: Patrimonio istituzionale e patrimonio condiviso in Val Cavallina (BG)
No full textThis paper discusses the creation of a parish map in Casazza, Italy, that was started to revitalize the struggling Historical-Environmental Museum, spurring debate about local identity. The paper emphasizes the value of participatory approaches in shaping “shared heritage” as opposed to “institutional heritage”, advocating for the local Museum to adopt such approaches. Finally, it explores the role of anthropologists in local contexts, stressing the impact of anthropological methods in community engagement, especially where anthropology is not well known
“Corpi indocili”, “storie eccedenti”: Violenza, genere, asilo tra processi di assoggettamento, ri-appropriazione e resistenza
No full textThe proposed analysis thoroughly explores the experiences of violence endured by women seeking asylum and refugees within the asylum system, focusing particularly on their interactions with the institutional actors responsible for their care and management. Through a detailed examination of a specific case study, the objective is to scrutinize the perpetuation of violence in arrival contexts, shedding light on the mechanisms of body governance, control, and acculturation practices utilized in these settings. These mechanisms perpetuate a preconceived, genderized, and racialized notion of the “true female refugee,” consistently portraying them as foreign, victimized, passive, and lacking agency. This reinforces narratives that emphasize their perceived need for rescue and protection. Furthermore, the study seeks to elucidate how women asylum seekers and refugees resist such violence by reclaiming agency and asserting their own narratives, bodies, and identities, thereby revealing distinct forms of resistance
Nouvelles et anciennes inégalités à la lumière d’une crise complexe: le contexte de l’exclusion liée au logement et celui des réfugiés et des migrations New-old inequalities in light of the double crisis: the context of homelessness and refugee and migrat
No full textThe text will present the complex contexts of the social situation currently prevailing in Poland. Firstly, these are the migration effects of the war on February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine. Secondly, it is a crisis related to war refugees (from Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, and various African countries) on the Polish-Belarusian border (since 2021). Both crises are covered in thoroughly different ways by the media, state, and public opinion. In these cases, we are dealing with a situation that does not create a homogenous image of migration and refugees, neither at the level of social assessments nor when it comes to the law or the state support system. To understand the situation, it is necessary to observe the development of non-institutional and grassroots forms of approach to social and humanitarian crises in Polish society, including those led by NGOs. However, the models of assistance used for new groups in crisis in Poland (war refugees) are largely based on the well-known rules of assistance (homelessness). The question is: to what extent are the two crises compatible so that it is possible to use one type of experience (help in homelessness) to organize support for people remaining in another crisis (war refugees)? This is important in the Polish case, although it applied there the system of publicsocial assistance, the authorities use only methods of managing crises and social problems, and not solving them
Avatar Identità e Sé nella realtà virtuale Avatar Identity and Self in virtual reality
No full textThe article, through an ethnographic investigation in the well-known virtual reality called Second Life, attempts to analyze what an avatar is and what its functions are in the virtual world. To this end, the author has observed the role of the avatar in the expression of different, virtual but real identities, the different modes of participation in virtual reality, and the consequences of a multiple identity on a Self that can be said to be dialogical in that it is always contextually different depending on its relationship with the environment and with the other avatars with whom it interacts
Il passato, il presente e il futuro di un distretto industriale. Riflessioni su un campo di ricerca incerto.
No full textThe current epoch is characterised by a series of critical events that have upset fieldwork research and continue to affect it. The industrial district of the Brianza has always proved to be resilient and capable of overcoming market turbulences, but the rapid sequence of critical events in an industrial context already exposed to other frailties is producing further uncertainty and liminality. The researcher is likewise facing his own uncertainties. The time lag between the observation of the fast changing situation and the writing moment which, occurring necessarily after the observation period, seems to be unable to keep up with the shifting reality. Thus, both interlocutors and researcher are seeking new conceptual inventories in their own ways to understand the present and imagine the future in a context of prolonged liminality
Le travail dans le contexte de l’agriculture sociale: intégration, inclusion et mobilité The shapes of work in social farming: integration, inclusion and mobility
No full textThis essay concerns the relationship between work and solidarity in the context of social farming.In order to analyse the data collected during the fieldwork, the article examines the anthropologicaldebate related to the shapes of the work in complex society that shows the historicalcharacter of wage labor separating life and job practices. The ethnographic research, developedin rural areas of Umbria (Italy), concerns the health and rehabilitation practices addressed tovulnerable people. It aims to illustrate opportunities to recompose social ties by work inclusionwithin the welfare of community, centered on three key words: proximity, inclusivity anduniversalism. The analysis of the interviews reveals potential and critic issues of the shelteredemployment but also the construction of a concept of solidarity centered on volunteering ratherthan civil and social rights
