Messa in strada. Note etnografiche sull’occupazione dello spazio attraverso la religione tra gli srilankesi alla Sanità (Napoli) Mass on the street. Ethnographic notes on the occupation of space through religion among Sri Lankans living in Sanità (Naples)
No full textThis article aims at analyzing the complex processes and social dynamics stemming from the looking for a space to pray by Sri Lankan Catholics during the long period of Covid-19 pandemic. The focus will be on the social meanings of occupying a piece of public street in the grassroots neighborhood of Sanità, in the hearth of Naples’ historical center. Sanità is a space managed by different power with strong forms of self-organization that rule things without recurring to a formal/legal mediation, creating an urban life so unusual in the European cities. Starting from showing off how this direct mediation works, the article will dialogue with the social science debate regarding how migrant religious groups move within the framework of “local rules” in the use of social space that is also a practice of group affirmation, claiming for the right to the city and negotiating within power relationships

No full textI rifugiati e le “soluzioni durevoli”: un’analisi critica a partire dal caso ugandese Refugees and the “durable solutions”: critical insights starting from the Ugandan case
No full textThe UNHCR officially provides three “durable solutions” to the condition of refugee: voluntary repatriation, local integration, and resettlement. However, in many cases these solutions remain only on paper, not being feasible in reality for most refugees. Taking as its starting point a critical analysis of refugee management in the countries of the Great Lakes Region in Africa, with a particular focus on the case of Congolese refugees in Uganda, this article seeks to investigate how these solutions are conceived and negotiated by refugees themselves in their experience. Viewed from this context, the three durable solutions show their contradictory nature: repatriation is made impossible by the continuing conflicts in Congo DRC; local integration is hampered by the lack of access to citizenship, while resettlement is reserved to a very limited number of people. Given these conditions, many refugees find themselves in a situation of protracted limbo
NORISC-19 Materiali di ricerca antropologica da un’indagine mixed methods sul Terzo Settore in Campania NORISC-19 Anthropological research materials from a mixed methods survey on the Third Sector in Campania
No full textAfter an introduction to FRA Project NORISC-19 on Third Sector in Campania, the authors illustrate some aspects of the anthropological methodology used in a part of it, then focusing on the analysis of the materials from 21 interviews with representatives of associations in the 5 provincies of Naples, Caserta, Salerno, Avellino and Benevento. The themes analyzed in an anthropological perspective, showing old problems and new opportunities, concern collaborative networks with institutions and other associations and the impact of exogenous events such as the Third Sector Reform and the Covid-19 pandemic. The discussed results also allow reflecting on the potential of an anthropological approach to the study of these contemporary issues within an original mixed methods perspective, which, in NORISC-19, combines and integrates multiple disciplinary fields
I memi come parodia del discorso politico italiano durante la pandemia di Covid-19 (2020-2021).
No full textThis essay presents my interpretation of the production and circulation of memes as a parody of the Italian political and media discourse during the pandemic.The term meme and the viral circulation of visual and audiovisual messages can, in my opinion, be interpreted in the light of Richard Dawkins, Luigi Luca Cavalli Sforza and Dan Sperber’s works. They are cultural replicators with a viral circulation, capable of “settling” among the cultural meanings present in society. In this case, memes have a great diffusion capacity through networks of friends, relatives, colleagues etc., supported by social media (WhatsApp, Facebook). These memes can be elaborated by specific authors, exceptionally gifted with respect to technique and creativity, then uploaded and circulated very easily through social media; or they can be elaborated by a multitude of creatives with more “do-it-yourself” techniques and a more regional and local basis, judging from the characteristics of the images and the language used.My interpretation refers to the “subversive”, critical and oppositional dimension of parody as an elaboration of contemporary mass culture of the dominant political, cultural and media messages.Following Daniel Miller’s interpretation and the proposal of the curators of the monographic issue of the journal “Antropologia”, it is clear that not only the social use of technologies changes social media, but also that social media are inserted into social networks supporting and strengthening them and creating new ones, making them an area of relationship characterized by continuous and instant interaction
Una mobilità esasperante, una vita a più tempi
No full textThis article aims to reflect on the effects of forced mobility linked to the trafficking of Nigerian women and on the responses given to them by current European policies. I refer specifically to the European system of international protection and asylum and to the role of national anti-trafficking projects, which configure trajectories which, as in the case studied, reproduce experiences of limitation over time, since they are added to the indebtedness of women themselves with the networks of trafficking. The dimension of time becomes crucial to grasp not only the control mechanisms of migrant subjectivities but above all to reveal how the people themselves react, in terms of possibilities and agency, starting from the social and cultural horizon of reference. In the contexts of European borders, such as that of the Brenner - between Italy and Austria - the expression of security and containment policies produces the phenomenon of secondary movements that place migrants in front of new complications to access the social space and recognition. For the woman protagonist of this ethnography, these obstacles are intertwined with the pressures of the trafficking networks, with the result of a multiplication of the negative effects on her life, which I intend to analyze specifically in this work
Human-technology relations in an age of surveillance capitalism: Towards an anthropological theory of the dialectic between analogue and digital humanity
No full textWhat can anthropology contribute to the current debates about the negative effects of social media on people? Starting from a critique of anthropological work that sees human subjectivity and culture as ontologically unaffected by social media use, I propose that human engagement with these digital technologies produces significant ontological transformations that deserve more attention. I develop my analysis in dialogue with Boellstorff’s ontology of the digital, Nardi’s theorisation of virtuality and affordances, and Zuboff’s formulation of surveillance capitalism, and I use empirical illustrations from the Cambridge Analytica data scandal to highlight key theoretical junctures. My main contribution is an outline of an anthropological theory of the dialectic between what I call analogue humanity and digital humanity. The two are mutually constituted but ontologically distinct. In the current political economy of digitalisation, tech companies are driving a process of increasing substitution of analogue humanity and forms of life with digital ones, as part of their quest for accurate prediction and social engineering of all aspects of human behaviour. While an anti-technology stance is neither practicable nor desirable, anthropologists need to think about how analogue humanity can be preserved and nurtured so that it can avoid ontological extinction
