Non-Unique Forms of Continuity in Rural Space: aspects of "Romanisationˮ in North-western Greece through the so-called fortified farmsteads
Get PDFEnDuring the Illyrian and Macedonian wars, North-western Greece was one of the first regions which had to face the Roman presence. The concept of "Romanisation" - a complex, diachronic and multifaceted phenomenon - was recently questioned and criticized and the use of the term, too, was debated. Inevitably, this geographical area was deeply involved in the process of "Romanisation". As for Epirus, in the last decades archaeological research has given new data to deal with the topic, the majority of which derived from urban excavations, less frequently from rural contexts. Some hints are offered by a particular category of sites, the so-called fortified farmsteads or villas. In this paper the relationship between these buildings and other evidence from Chaonia and Thesprotia is investigated emphasising continuity and disruption in the light of the settlement patterns. After the Roman conquest, many of these sites were not destroyed or abandoned but continued to be settled and were refurbished. A comparable trend is observable in some fortifications (such as Malathe, in present-day Southern Albania). Some of them were altered and changed their functions, probably responding to new settlement dynamics, which, beyond sub-regional characteristic, should be considered as part of a wider phenomenon.ItLa Grecia nord-occidentale fu tra i territori al di fuori della Penisola che più precocemente si trovarono a confrontarsi con Roma, in particolare nel corso delle guerre illiriche e macedoniche. Inevitabilmente anche questa regione fu coinvolta in quel fenomeno ampio, diacronico e sfaccettato comunemente condensato nel termine 'romanizzazione', un concetto in anni recenti al centro di un dibattito che ne ha messo in discussione l'affermazione e l'utilizzo. Negli ultimi decenni l'archeologia ha offerto per l'Epiro nuovi dati per affrontare il tema, soprattutto a partire dai contesti urbani, più di rado si è volto lo sguardo alle campagne. Una particolare categoria di edifici epiroti nota come residenze o fattorie fortificate offre alcuni spunti di riflessione sul tema, in particolare grazie al confronto con altre evidenze provenienti dalla Caonia e dalla Tesprozia e alla luce del più ampio quadro insediativo dell'Epiro. In molti di questi siti, dopo la conquista romana, non si notano tracce di distruzione ma, piuttosto, sono attestate continuità di frequentazione e ristrutturazioni. Fenomeni del genere sono osservabili anche nei casi di siti fortificati con valore strategico-militare (ad esempio Malathre, in Albania meridionale). Alcuni subiscono trasformazioni e sembrano acquisire funzioni nuove e diverse, alla luce di dinamiche di popolamento che, pur presentando differenze a carattere sub-regionale, sembrano potersi leggere in maniere unitaria
Romanizzazione nel Piceno centro-meridionale: esempi e modelli
Get PDFEnThe paper initially deals with an analysis of the state of studies relating to the Romanization processes in the central-southern Piceno area. Subsequently it addresses the case of the colony of Pollentia-Urbs Salvia (Urbisaglia - MC) where the most recent excavations are bringing to light contexts relating to the arrival of the first Roman presences.ItIl contributo, partendo da una analisi dello stato dell'arte relativo allo studio dei processi di romanizzazione nel Piceno centro-meridionale affronta il caso specifico della colonia di Pollentia-Urbs Salvia (Urbisaglia - MC) dove gli scavi più recenti stanno riportando in luce contesti relativi all'arrivo delle prime presenze romane

Expose, Oppose, and Confront: The Anti-Racist Movement against the Far-Right Heritage Front in Toronto, 1989 to 1995
Get PDFThe conflict between anti-racists and the Heritage Front, a far-right organization, in Toronto, Canada, between 1989 and 1995, offers insight into the radical flank effect (RFE) on movement-countermovement dynamics. Through an analysis of media coverage, primary sources, and interviews with past participants, the study shows how Anti-Racist Action (ARA) functioned as a radical flank within the anti-racist movement, contributing to the collapse of the Heritage Front, in part by reorganizing relationships among less militant anti-racists. It reveals how, under certain conditions, radical organizations can remake the political field
Bystanders’ intentions to help in intimate partner violence and sexual assault situations: A cross-cultural study
Get PDFGender-based violence (GBV), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV) and non-partner sexual violence (NPSV), is a widespread and preventable problem. This issue affects not only individuals but also communities and entire societies. The bystander approach has shown promise as an intervention to prevent GBV by engaging community members. Using an ecological lens, this cross-cultural study sought to deepen our understanding of how different individual, relational, community, and societal factors may correlate with bystanders’ intentions to help a friend or stranger in situations of IPV and NPSV. The study involved 1,128 university students from Italy (n=333), Brazil (n=303), and Canada (n=492). Results show that Italian university students reported a lower intention to help a friend or stranger. Despite some differences, findings for each subgroup indicate that peer-helping norms, bystander self-efficacy in dealing with violence, and knowledge/training about GBV were crucial factors associated with intentions to help a friend (i.e., the first and second variables) or a stranger (i.e., the first and third variables). These data have important implications for bystander preventive programs. They should make individuals aware of the correlation between the peer-helping norms and their intentions to help in GBV situations to develop responsible and competent student communities toward GBV. This prevention strategy should also provide knowledge about GBV and build skills and self-efficacy for coping with violence suffered or perpetrated by a friend or stranger.
