The uncommon cryptobenthic Millerigobius macrocephalus (Actinopterygii: Gobiidae) along the Coast of Salento, with a revision of its distribution in Italian Waters
Get PDFItIl gobide criptobentonico Millerigobius macrocephalus (Kolombatovic, 1891) viene segnalato per due località lungo la costa salentina (Mar Grande di Taranto e Gallipoli). Ambedue le segnalazioni sono supportate da dati genetici e, oltre a confermare la presenza di M. macrocephalus lungo la costa salentina, rappresentano la prima segnalazione della specie per il Mar Ionio settentrionale. Questo risultato è particolarmente rilevante, dato che l'unica altra segnalazione per la costa salentina, relativa al lago di Acquatina, potrebbe essere erronea; di fatto, recenti studi hanno evidenziato la presenza nel lago di Acquatina di una specie superficialmente simile, Zebrus pallaoroi, cui le segnalazioni storiche potrebbero riferirsi. Un confronto tra le sequenze di citocromo c ossidasi subunità I ottenute in questo studio e quelle presenti in banca dati mette in evidenza una divergenza lievemente inferiore al 3% tra gli individui salentini e greci e gli individui turchi, suggerendo la possibilità che M. macrocephalus possa rappresentare un complesso di specie, al pari di altri gobidi mediterranei. Infine, la distribuzione della specie nel Mar Mediterraneo è rivista sulla base della letteratura disponibile, con particolare attenzione alle segnalazioni lungo la costa italiana. Questa analisi ha messo in evidenza diverse segnalazioni trascurate dalla letteratura e permette di confermare la presenza della specie in diverse località del Mar Ionio e del Mar Tirreno, suggerendo che M. macrocephalus possa essere più comune e diffuso di quanto al momento si ritiene.EnNew records of the cryptobenthic goby Millerigobius macrocephalus (Kolombatovic, 1891) are reported for two localities in Puglia (Mar Grande of Taranto and Gallipoli), confirming the occurrence of this species along the coast of Salento. All records were checked by DNA barcoding and represent the first occurrences of this species in the northern Ionian Sea. Molecular data highlight a divergence between individuals from Salento and Greece and individuals from Türkiye, suggesting that M. macrocephalus might represent a species complex, and deserve further studies. Literature dealing with this species is critically re-examined, allowing to identify three records for Italian waters that were overlooked by recent literature
Welcoming: The development of sense of community post-migration in a secluded northern American city
Get PDFThis study aimed to identify what contributes to immigrants’ and refugees’ psychological sense of community (PSOC) in a secluded northern American city with a very diverse and growing foreign-born population. Ten focus groups were conducted with 50 immigrants and refugees from more than 20 countries who had lived in the community for 1 to 40 years. Team-based reflexive thematic analysis was used to explore the development and maintenance of PSOC. While PSOC took time to develop, social networks catalyzed its formation. The process was quicker for younger immigrants who became more socially embedded due to the community resources they readily accessed. Equitable access to a wide array of high-quality community resources promoted PSOC. Diversity and belonging were critical for membership and the development of a shared emotional connection. Opportunities to contribute and influence the community maintained and strengthened PSOC, as did the community’s social and ecological climates. Therefore, a variety of community initiatives across ecological levels may foster PSOC among newcomers.
L'image ou le réel sans profondeur. Considérations phénoménologiques sur la superficialité de l'imagination (Husserl, Sartre, Henry) = The image or the film without depth. Phenomenological considerations on the superficiality of the imagination (Husserl, Sartre, Henry)
No full textThe role of imagination seems an act of consciousness that neutralizes the existence of things it encounters. Unlike perception, it creates free experiences. It shows things without positioning them in the space or engaging the spatiotemporal position of our body. This paper aims to demonstrate how the neutralization of existence regarding things in imagination, due to the suspension of reality, creates a different form of depth. Not only the perceived form, but also the experienced one. Through the phenomenology of imagination, we can reach a reconsideration of the phenomenological dualism discussing the monism proposal. There is in fact a link between the two, that is, the superficiality of the image and the absoluteness of subjective life
Fenomenologia esperienziale e fenomenologia sperimentale. Paolo Bozzi e Husserl = Experiential Phenomenology and Experimental Phenomenology. Paolo Bozzi and Husserl
No full textThe paper aims to show the compatibility of experiential and experimental phenomenology by comparing Paolo Bozzi and Husserl. The main points on which the argument is founded are three: the priority of the manifest image over the scientific image, the overcoming of the myth of the stimulus (thus both of metaphysical realism and of the reductionism or eliminativism of the mental), and the complexity of the given. A radical philosophy of experience emerges, a position shared unreservedly by both Husserl and Bozzi
Acting out for Survival. Environmental Performance Poetry in the Pacific
Get PDFClimate change is the most urgent issue of the present. The countries of the Pacific Rim seem to be particularly vulnerable to its effects, as shown by the growing intensity and magnitude of extreme weather events like typhoons, cyclones, and floods. In the Southern Hemisphere, atolls are in danger due to the rise of global sea levels. Archipelagic countries like Tuvalu, Kiribati, and the Marshall Islands are already experiencing the migration of their citizens from the outer islands to the main islands, and from the main ones to Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, and the West coast of the USA. Poets and artists in this area have been engaged for some time in public performances to denounce the environmental emergency and sensitise global public opinion. Oral poetry is performed in public events and international official venues but is also recorded in videos, which are then uploaded to the poets’ websites. Words, acting, music, and images of the natural landscape that is at risk are turned into dramatic pieces that could be defined as a form of ‘environmental artivism’. After poet Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner’s performance at the 2014 UN Climate Summit in New York, four Pacific Islander spoken word artists were selected from an international contest to perform at the 2015 UN Conference on Climate Change in Paris. My article will illustrate how Jetñil-Kijiner’s poetry led the way in this form of artistic activism and will then analyse some works of two of the contest-winners: Terisa Siagatonu, a Samoan American poet from the Bay Area, and Eunice Andrada, a Filipina poet, educator, and social worker living in Australia. These three poets exemplify a type of artist/poet/performer who believes that art creates and inspires change
Addomesticare la wilderness. Nature tossiche e green gentrification a Corvetto, Milano
Get PDFThe article will present some snapshots from the ethnography of beautification processes and the politics of the unwanted in the suburban neighbourhood of Corvetto, addressing the production and exploitation of an imaginary of urban nature within regeneration projects, highlighting processes of green gentrification currently occurring in the neighbourhood. I will present the case of Porto di Mare, a peri-urban area of spontaneous wilderness on the outskirts of Corvetto, which in the past has been strongly stigmatized and criminalized due to the presence of an area also known as 'the drug forest'. Closely linked to deindustrialization, this is an openfield area once used as an urban dump that has undergone a long process of renaturalization, now at the center of brand-new regeneration projects, which on one hand have expelled undesirable presences, and on the other have endorsed the interests of big capital for the construction of the new facilities for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina. In this space, urban green aesthetics have been mobilized, in a scenario in which a dominant green-sustainable imaginary is becoming both exploited as a justification for urban transformation, and at the same time as a battleground for the political struggle over the maintenance of public green spaces
Se venisse un turista a Gela. Fantasie di turismo e senso del luogo in un contesto tardo-industriale
Get PDFThis paper explores the imaginaries of tourism development in the Sicilian town of Gela, home to a petrochemical plant that, in the 1960s, transformed a rural village into a symbol of top-down industrialization in southern Italy. Built by Eni, the plant has led to environmental pollution and unregulated urban development over the years, casting a heavy stigma over the town. The plant's recent closure has added to the uncertainty. Consequently, tourism development linked to the sea and the town's ancient Greek heritage is now considered a possible path to economic and moral redemption. In exploring this transformation, this paper critically examines the recent tourism-oriented policies by Eni, aimed at reorienting the local sense of place. It also analyzes grassroots initiatives through which local entrepreneurs, associations, and inhabitants reclaim degraded areas of the downtown in an attempt to meet the expectations of an imagined "tourist gaze." The widespread evocation of this gaze can be seen as a meta-cultural discourse through which social actors narrate the town, produce collective representations and horizons of expectation, and attempt to erase stigmatizing narratives. In this regard, the article emphasizes the importance of exploring tourist imaginaries even in areas that are on the fringes of mass touristification
