Interview with Ruba Salih, by Nadeem Karkabi and Sonia Boulos
No full textOn the occasion of publishing a special issue of Palestine/
Israel Review (PIR) on the decolonization of the city of Haifa, PIR interviewed Ruba Salih, a professor of anthropology at the Department of
Arts, University of Bologna. Salih’s research focuses on transnational
migration and diasporas across Europe, the Middle East, and North
Africa; Islam and gender; the Palestine question and refugees; and
trauma and conflict in the Middle East. She is the author of numerous academic works, including the book Gender in Transnationalism:
Home, Longing and Belonging among Moroccan (Routledge, 2003), and
the article “Bodies That Walk, Bodies That Talk, Bodies That Love: Palestinian Women Refugees, Affectivity, and the Politics of the Ordinary” (Antipode, 2017). Currently, she is working on a book on waiting and the politics of return among Palestinian refugees (Cambridge University Press). Ruba herself is the daughter of a Palestinian refugee from
Haifa, and her mother was born in Yafa/Jaffa. PIR held an interview
with her to talk about her work and her own experience of refuge as a
descendant of Palestinian refugees from Haifa. Nadeem Karkabi and
Sonia Boulos conducted the interview for PIR
A diachronic approach to assess alien plant invasion: The case study of Friuli Venezia Giulia (NE Italy)
No full textDirect experimental methods for measuring plant invasiveness based on generative vs. vegetative reproductive mechanisms
have already been proposed in the literature. In the present work, an indirect method to measure plant species invasion using
historical and current data from various sources is described. This method involves a diachronic approach whereby the speed
of plant invasion can be measured as the rate of new site colonisation by species over time. The study was conducted in Friuli
Venezia Giulia (NE Italy). Field data, herbarium collections and data from the literature since the late 19th century were
used to gather information on the presence or absence of some alien species through time, and a simple index to measure the
invasion rate in the territory was developed. Results show that the diachronic approach allowed the identification of species
that are generally recognised as more invasive already in other studies
Le tradizioni della traduzione: Shakespeare e il caso Dom Casmurro
No full textSonia Netto Salomão’s study examines the mechanism by which models - that belong to very specific cultural traditions - are transplanted and acculturated in post-colonial 19th-century Brazil. It focuses on Machado de Assis, an author who exemplified confrontation with the western canon, both ancient and modern, to illustrate how translations do not simply “transport” meaning. Salomão thus shows how a Shakespearean simile becomes a metaphor in Dom Casmurro, through a French eighteenth version. As she says, translations belong to diverse traditions and create other traditions, based on the reception of a given author’s poetics. She takes as a historical-cultural and theoretical backdrop a specific process within Brazilian culture, defined in the context of avant-garde Brazilian modernism as “Cannibalism”, and traces it back to the second half of the 19th century, demonstrating its power as a cultural paradigm

Ireland gets the new Trio Presidency off to a propitious start. CEPS Commentary, 30 August 2013
No full textThe Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU (January-June 2013) faced numerous challenges, not least of which was to negotiate the financial framework for the period 2014-2020 and the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy with the European Parliament, as well as the pressure to advance the banking agenda. Moreover, the fact that it was the start of a new Trio Presidency, the small size of the Irish administration and its fragile financial situation gave rise to some doubts as to how much it could achieve. Nevertheless, this post mortem on the Irish presidency finds that the Irish government approached the task with realism and optimism, a firm focus on results and the strong conviction that a good performance would enhance its reputation at home and in the EU. It is now for Lithuania and subsequently Greece, in the first half of 2014, to continue to tackle the remaining formidable challenges
She was 15. He was 26. Sonia Orchard’s Groomed Proves her Abuser was Wrong: Age isn’t ‘Just a Number’
No full textSonia Orchard’s new book, Groomed, is her account of being groomed and sexually abused, at age 15, by a man almost double her age – her “first boyfriend”. S – as Orchard refers to him – was 26 when he met the teenage Orchard at a Melbourne nightclub and, one week later, started having sex with her. The relationship, which began at the end of 1985, lasted almost a year. It took the author three decades to recognise what had happened to her. “I believed that I had been in a romantic relationship,” Orchard writes. “I managed to skip over what I believed to be an inconsequential detail – that I was a child.
Mapping the Horizon of Transformative Peace
No full textThis article explores what it means for peace to be transformative and discusses what it takes for a peace project and its institutions to enable transformative peace. To address these questions the article offers a theoretical and conceptual approach and draws on< some examples from case studies, especially Colombia. The article deals with the resistance that transformative projects might face from the victims they are meant to benefit. It promotes an understanding of conflict and resistance as essential dimensions to bring about positive transformations in violent contexts. In so doing, the author shows that the possibilities offered by normative-based frameworks to build transformative peace are curtailed by principles such as neutrality and impartiality of international law. These principles have resulted in institutional gender and race blindness that precludes the possibilities of a peace project being transformative.Thus, she offers a debate on two aspects that might condition or enable transformative forms of peace: the temporalities of peacebuilding and the inclusion of dissensus. Building on this the author proposes an understanding of transformative peace as an orientation that has on its horizon people’s emancipation from structural oppressions. This understanding will allow peace institutions more realistic time-space scales and the opportunity to benefit from the difference and dissensus that the practice of peacemaking might have left aside.Sonia Garzon Ramirez holds a PhD in Comparative Gender Studies from the Central European University, Budapest (Hungary). From 2020 to 2022, Sonia was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University (UK). In 2021, she was a visiting researcher at swisspeace with the Dealing with the Past (DwP) team. Her current research examines nonviolent resistance and contestation to peacebuilding. Sonia combines feminist theory, intersectionality and agonistic theory to investigate how dissensus participates in shaping peacebuilding and bringing about transformative peace
