La Sindrome Italia. Un approccio antropologico
No full textDal 2005 si parla di Sindrome Italia, presentata come una forma di depressione che colpisce le donne che emigrano dalla Romania in Italia per svolgere lavoro di cura. Il saggio mette a confronto le fonti disponibili per analizzare la genesi, la diffusione nei media, le conseguenze sulle rappresentazioni sociali delle donne migranti, la costruzione di un allarme sociale che vede le donne come vittime ma anche come colpevoli
Bambini e bambine e i legami in diaspora
No full textCome bambini e bambine, e adolescenti vivono la lontananza delle madri o dei genitori emigrati in Italia (e in Friuli nel caso indagato) per svolgere soprattutto lavoro di cura. Il contributo analizza la costruzione e la diffusione della definizione left-behind e l'eventuale patologizzazione legata all'allontanamento dei genitori. Storie di vita, desideri, proiezioni nel futuro vengono raccontate per riempire di senso la costruzione di legame con i propri pari o con altri adult

No full textThe research project CorÂge is concerned conceptually with what it means to ‘do’ childhood in the blurred transition from child to teenage status, from 9 to 123 age old. The aims of this research is to reflect on the lived, bodily experience of this transition. The analysis presented here focuses on medical discourses and internet information concerning the onset of puberty, the physiological sign of passage between childhood and adolescence. It explores the relationship between puberty presented by pediatric literature mostly as precocious puberty, as a pathological condition and a gendered construction of female onset of puberty. By convention, normal puberty begins between age 8 and 12 years in girls and between 9 and 14 years in boys. The lower ages of normal pubertal onset recently has been challenged, but a consensus to accept puberty among young children without diagnostic evaluation has not been reached. A century-long secular trend reduced the age of menarche by about 17 to about 12 years. Reorganizing biological ages produces a briefer image of childhood, and anxiety in parents and society: in general, anxiety about girls sexuality has become rampant in wider cultural discourse, as debate about precocious onset of puberty in girls demonstrates. In web sites and psychological essays, often female physical maturation is cast as girls’ ticket of entry into the delinquent world of boys. The onset of
puberty and preadolescence are assimilated to adolescence as risk state. Precocious puberty (especially in females) create an abundant medical literature. The mean age of adrenarche in females is also considered race-dependent, medical literature reports. Precocious puberty in African-American and in adopted children are both forms of building ethnic differences in growth, physiology, and are considered to put children health at risk in the future. A representation of an age at peril of dangerous behaviour (alcohol and drugs, dangerous activities, suicide attempts) is superposed by an image of dangerous age. I would argue that much like other aspects of identity, childhood is an inter subjective process of ‘becoming’ and that this process involves becoming gendered. In focusing on the intersection between these three dimensions of what it means to be a girl in contemporary society, to be a medicalised object and to be feminine, the female tween body is constructed and perceived as endered, ambivalent, by medicine and parents and by larger society
Corps en reseaux. Jeunes et sexualité dans deux sites internet à Strasbourg et Feltre (Vénétie)
No full textThe article presents the analysis of two web sites, the French one 'Info-Ado' (SIHCUS-CMCO, Strasbourg) and the Italian 'Ti amo in un click / I love you by a click' (Consultorio Giovani di Feltre, Venetia), both devoted to preadolescents' and adolescents' sexuality and reproductive health. This analisys enables us to explore 9-13 aged children's questions, worries, uncertainties about their body in transition. These tweens denied any inscription in 'preadolescence' as a bound age category; their speech is about daily embodiment of bodily changes

Un silence imparfait. Femmes, dépression mentale et naturalisation de l'expérience (Carnia, années 1990)
Get PDFPrenant appui sur une recherche de deux ans menée dans un centre de santé mentale du nord-est d’Italie, cet article souhaite approcher la dépression par une pluralité de points de vue : celui du savoir scientifique qui a naturalisé la dépression et le corps des femmes par une approche biologique, celui de celles/ceux qui en souffrent, leur narration et leurs stratégies de recherche de soin. Il s’agit alors de saisir par-là leur subjectivation mise à l’épreuve par le désespoir, les symptômes du corps, la fracture biographique (Bury 2001) qui se produit au moment où la crise commence ; enfin, celui, quoique présenté de manière plus succincte, de l’entourage et du milieu communautaire, qui les labellise ou au contraire les soutient, favorisant des processus d’assignation différents. Prendre en compte la pluralité de ces approches nous amène à travailler la co-construction socio-historique de la dépression, en sortant d’une lecture s’adressant à la seule catégorie de « femmes sous influence » qui parait les définir
