I caratteri originari della popolazione di etnia grecanica e la fine del rito bizantino nella Grecìa salentina
Get PDFEnIt is not easy to be able to somehow reconstruct the original characteristics of the Grecanic ethnic population due to the lack of adequate documentary sources preserved in the many possible archives. Only the fleeting testimonies found in the ancient parishes of Galatina, Copertino and Gallipoli were fundamental, concerning the formulas used in the celebration of birth certificates and those concerning marriage, present in the first book of Melpignano, drawn up before the dictates of the Council of Trent (1545-1563), and from this imposed on the entire Christian world. Through their comparison, the possible differences between the Greek and Latin ethnic groups emerged. In the extreme necessity on the part of the Catholic Church of having to fight the various heresies developed throughout Europe under the pressure of the millenarian instances born at the end of the fifteenth century, Salento Greece, where the language, habits and customs of Byzantine origin still resist, is forced to suffer the inexorable process of 'normalization' to the remaining Latin area. In a context of enormous tax burdens on each community, the fact of being 'Greek' priests and therefore adding the possibility of being married with children, thus taking advantage of ecclesiastical immunities, generates hatred and conflict in one's social context, as is witnessed in the decisions and decrees of the Royal Chamber of Sommaria, a court sitting in Naples, competent to resolve disputes arising locally.ItNon facile è poter ricostruire in qualche modo i caratteri originali della popolazione di etnia grecanica per mancanza di adeguate fonti documentarie conservate nei tanti possibili Archivi. Solo sono state fondamentali le labili testimonianze rinvenute nelle antiche parrocchie di Galatina, Copertino e Gallipoli, concernenti le formule usate nella celebrazione degli atti di nascita e quelle riguardanti il matrimonio, presenti nel primo libro di Melpignano, redatte prima dei dettami del Concilio di Trento (1545-1563), e da questo imposte a tutto l'orbe cristiano. Attraverso il loro confronto sono emerse le possibili differenze tra l'etnia grecanica e quella latina. Nella estrema necessità da parte della Chiesa cattolica di dover combattere le diverse eresie sviluppate in tutta Europa sotto la spinta delle istanze millenaristiche nate alla fine del Quattrocento, la Grecìa salentina, dove resistono ancora lingua, usanze e costumi di origine bizantina, è costretta a subire l'inesorabile processo di 'normalizzazione' alla restante area latina. In un contesto di enormi imposizioni fiscali a carico di ogni comunità, il fatto di essere preti 'greci' e quindi di aggiungere la possibilità di essere sposato con figli, usufruendo quindi delle immunità ecclesiastiche, genera nel proprio contesto sociale astio e contrapposizioni, come è testimoniato nelle decisioni e decreti della regia Camera della Sommaria, tribunale sedente in Napoli, competente per dirimere le controversie sorte in ambito locale
I videogiochi come estensioni contemporanee delle teorie mediologiche di McLuhan = Video games as contemporary extensions of McLuhan's media theories
No full textThis article explores the relationship between video games and Marshall McLuhan's mediologic theories. In particular, this study examines how video games can be seen as contemporary extensions of his ideas on media, technology, and society. Through an analysis of McLuhan's concepts, such as "hot" and "cool" media, the article argues that video games embody the principles of "cool" media, requiring active participation and engagement on the part of users. The article also discusses how video games reflect and shape cultural values, norms, and identities, and how they can be seen as a form of "global village" where players from different parts of the world interact and share experiences. The article concludes that video games offer a unique platform for social interaction, learning, and self-expression, and that they have the potential to transform the way we think about media, culture, and societ
Towards a Definition of Climate Migration
Get PDFWithin the present contribution, the origin and development of the debate on defining and estimating migrations driven by environmental and climatic causes will be traced. The analysis of this discourse allows an understanding of the perspective through which the figure of the climate migrant has been constructed. Simultaneously, by revisiting this debate, an examination is intended to explore how this type of human mobility urges a reconsideration of traditionally employed categories for describing and classifying migrations
Imagining the Future of Europe: Is Transnational Left Populism the Way Forward?
Get PDFThe European Union is facing a 'poly-crisis'. As a result, reflections on the future of Europe have intensified (one example is the Conference on the Future of Europe). In discussing visions of Europe, scholars generally pit cosmopolitanism against communitarianism, or pro-Europeanism against Euro-scepticism. Visions of Europe's future are however more complex and irreducibly plural. The article examines the ideational landscape of the EU by, first, mapping a plurality of prominent, frequently used discourses on European integration. Second, we examine a tendency towards reproducing the status quo in dealing with the poly-crisis. Despite the rich ideational plurality, dominant forces in the EU tend not to be inclined to significantly reform the EU. The third part of the paper examines one exception, in the form of left transnational populism, which proposes a critical, but constructive, alternative understanding of integration. The analysis of this left populist composite, critical Europeanist discourse, focusses on the most developed, even if marginal, transnational left populist project, DiEM25. The article concludes by indicating both the relevance of the critical Europeanist discourse and the formidable, practical obstacles the project face
Tra cifre e spazi elettorali. Le elezioni provinciali a Brindisi dal dopoguerra alla seconda Repubblica (1951-2009)
Get PDFItAlla luce di un panorama storiografico nel quale è ancora poco battuto il tema delle elezioni amministrative (specialmente per il periodo repubblicano), il contributo si focalizza sull'analisi dei risultati elettorali amministrativi nella provincia di Brindisi dalle prime elezioni democratiche per il rinnovo del consiglio provinciale (1951) all'ultima convocazione secondo la legge 25 marzo 1993 n. 81, che introduce l'elezione diretta del presidente della Provincia (2009). L'obiettivo è quello di leggere, nel rapporto tra dimensione partecipativa e distribuzione quantitativa e geografica delle preferenze, i processi di costruzione del consenso e le dinamiche di radicamento delle forze politiche in uno spazio decisionale, quello dell'Ente provinciale, a lungo considerato strategico nel controllo del territorio.EnIn the light of a historiographical panorama in which the theme of administrative elections is still underdeveloped (especially for the Republican period), the contribution focuses on the analysis of administrative election results in the province of Brindisi from the first democratic elections for the renewal of the provincial council (1951) to the last convocation according to the law March 25, 1993 n. 81, which introduced the direct election of the president of the Province (2009). The objective is to read, in the relationship between the participatory dimension and the quantitative and geographical distribution of preferences, the processes of consensus building and the dynamics of entrenchment of political forces in a decision-making space, that of the provincial body, which was long considered strategic in the control of the territory
