MGF/E: which spaces for a critical anthropology? Dialogues, resistances and new opportunities
No full textThis book is the product of the Seminar held in Rome on the 24 and 25 of November 2017, as part of the MAP-FGM project (https://mapfgm.eu). During the seminar the anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, leading exponent of the humanitarian field, medical doctors and jurists, coming from different parts of the world, exchanged their knowledge trying to : re-introducing the FGM issue inside a scientific anthropological framework, seeking to widen the theme to body modifiability, not only women’s bodies, and proceeding from historicization and the acknowledgment of subjectivities; criticising the approaches exclusively grounded on medicine, as with other forms of criminalization, examining the connection with the other disciplines and their knowledge potential; finally, opening the issue to uncommon geographical fields, both in Africa and Asia. In line with the proposal of a public anthropology, our main objective has been establishing the conditions for building a socio-ethno-anthropological gaze on the social gender constructions and on the biopolitics on/of the bodies, by making emerge the strengths but, most of all, the weaknesses, of the medical and regulatory gazes, which, on their part, call into question an anthropological vocabulary which does not pertain to them, and risk to produce effects opposed to the ones wished, that is the abandonment of these practices. With contributions of: Omar Abdulcadir, Jean-Loup Amselle, Esther Ayuk, Franca Bimbi, Lucrezia Catania, Giovanna Cavatorta, Gily Coene, Ricardo Falcão, Michela Fusaschi, Irwan Hidayana, Sara Johnsdotter, Bianca Pomeranzi, Ismail Guedi Sougeuh, Michela Villani
FGM/C: from medicine to critical anthropology
No full textThis book is the product of the Seminar MAP-FGM (https://mapfgm.eu, Rome, 24-25 Nov. 2017), where anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, exponents of NGO, gynaecologists and jurists exchanged their knowledge by pursuing several aims: re-introducing the FGM/C issue inside an anthropological framework, seeking to widen the theme to body modifiability, not only women’s bodies, and proceeding from historicization and the acknowledgment of subjectivities; criticising the biomedical approaches, as other forms of criminalization, examining the connection with the other disciplines and their knowledge potential; finally, opening the issue to uncommon geographical fields, both in Africa and Asia. The main objective has been establishing the conditions for building a socio-ethno-anthropological gaze on the social gender constructions and on the biopolitics on/of the bodies, by making emerge the strengths but, most of all, the weaknesses, of the medical and regulatory gazes, which, on their part, call into question an anthropological vocabulary which does not pertain to them, and risk to produce effects opposed to the ones wished, that is the abandonment of these practices

The European Union and Morocco. Security through authoritarianism? IHS Political Science Series: 2006, No. 110
Get PDFRecent international events sparked renewed academic interest for the European Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy, particularly towards the Arab world. Usually, much is made of the normative power of the Union and of its role in exporting the values of democratic governance and human rights. It follows that the policies of the Union in specific regions are judged according to the parameters of liberal idealism. This paper challenges such an assumption and argues that a structural realist interpretation of the Union’s tentative foreign policy makes a decisive contribution to better understand and evaluate what the Union ‘does’ abroad. The paper is specifically concerned with the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and how, contrary to the liberal idealist values of CFSP, it helps securitising the Mediterranean through the promotion and support of political authoritarianism in the partner countries. The case of Morocco is discussed in detail

From conscription to volunteers : budget shares in NATO defence spending
Get PDFA growing number of NATO countries suspended compulsory military service during the past decade or are now phasing it out, moving to an All Volunteer Force (AVF). An AVF can free resources available for investment in up‐to‐date equipments, thus improving operational capabilities. Our paper investigates shifts in NATO military expenditure shares on personnel, equipment, infrastructure and other costs over the period 1970–2008 and explores the impact of the transition to AVFs on these shares of the defence budget. Results suggest that while the end of conscription did not reduce the share of spending on personnel, NATO forces are increasingly less reliant on soldiers and more on capital
