Il Turismo Accessibile: una possibile alternativa per la competitività territoriale.
No full textThe author offer a reflection on accessible tourism, defined as a way of allowing to fully enjoy their stay all those who for various reasons - economic, physical, cultural, political, but also religious- are not guaranteed the inalienable right to a holiday; thus, the wellbeing of the visitors is reconciled with the preservation of the cultural heritage.
The starting point for the analysis is the concept of sustainable tourism; a concept which has been discussed for at least two decades and on which nearly everyone agrees, but which is of difficult practical application in the field of tourism; the difficulties are due to problems relating to measurability, definition and the existence of conflicting statistics.
Accessibility is linked strongly to sustainability; accessible tourism does not only pay attention to the needs of the disabled but to everyone's; through a very high quality offer, accessible tourism is able to respond to the needs of children, the elderly, mothers pushing prams, people with limited physical ability or sensory impairments or who have food-related allergies or issues, so that they can make full use of the holiday or their free time without obstacles and difficulties.
Accessible tourism can be an opportunity for all locations through an offer of more liveable and hospitable destinations that can meet the expectations of people with special needs.
In fact it achieves an advantage for the local community, because improved accessibility favours the development of the most authentic social relations in a sustainable way
Il delitto di onore e l'aggravante dei 'futili motivi' culturalmente (e religiosamente) motivata,
No full textContributo sottoposto a valutazione. Il contributo è destinato alla pubblicazione nel volume degli Atti del Corso di formazione giuridica in materia di pari opportunità e violazione del divieto di discriminazione di genere, organizzato dal Comitato Pari Opportunità presso il Consiglio dell\u27Ordine degli Avvocati di Napoli, ottobre 2013- giugno 2014SOMMARIO:1. I reati culturalmente motivati e il tentato omicidio per causa di “onore” - 2. Il concetto di onore nella cultura e nella tradizione giuridica dei Paesi mussulmani - 3. L\u27aggravante dei futili motivi nel nostro sistema penale - 4. Considerazioni conclusive. ABSTRACT The crime of honor and the aggravating factor of the trivial reasons\u27 culturally (and religiously) motivated A recent case law of the Italian Court of Cassation, on 2013, ruled that, in the case of the attempted murder of a daughter, trivial reasons cannot be considered based on the honor of the family and the violation of a fundamental religious precept. The evaluation of these cases then relates to that, of a much broader scope, linked to the concept of \u27cultural crimes\u27 or cultural defence. It is necessary, however, to perform a careful balancing between guilt and offensiveness proportion on the one hand and, on the other hand, to consider the extent to which the author of a culturally motivated crime can enjoy a punitive treatment, though attenuated compared to those who commit the same crime without a cultural motivation. A judgment intrinsically linked to a cultural and ethical relativism, cannot be accepted that though respecting the multiculturalism of the western society in general, and of the Italian one in particular, must always find its legitimacy by submitting to the principles and values on which the Italian Constitution is founded
Hyphenation and Its discontents: hyphenators, hyphen-haters, and the cultural politics of ambiguity
No full textThis study explores the social logic of hyphenation, moving hyphenation beyond grammar and instead highlighting the way in which it performs socio-politically. In doing so, I use hyphenation as a gateway to a discussion about the cultural politics of ambiguity. In particular, I employ two settings of “hyphenated identities,” Hyphenated Americanism and surname hyphenation, to expose a hidden debate related more generally to ambiguity and ambivalence in American culture. A reading of these settings, which includes interviews with 30 surname hyphenators, reveals a conflict between hyphenation and cultural narratives that tend to favor unity, solidity, singularity, and an either/or vision of social categories. Within these cultural narratives, so-called Hyphenated Americans and surname hyphenators have often been similarly perceived as ambivalent and such a tendency exposes a tension not only between rigid and flexible logics for classifying identity, but also a related tension between the politics of identity and the politics of ambiguity. Furthermore, the discourses surrounding the hyphenation of these identities also draw attention to the anxiety provoked by ambiguity and how this anxiety becomes shaped and reinforced by contrasting notions of purity and pollution, security and danger, and social order and disorder. My analysis examines how these identities have been constituted and contested in this way and considers the implications for social classification more generally.Ph.

Genetic structure of wild and cultivated olives in the Central Mediterranean basin
No full textBackground and Aims: Olive cultivars and their wild relatives (oleasters) represent two botanical varieties of Olea europaea subsp. europaea (respectively europaea and sylvestris). Olive cultivars have undergone human selection and their area of diffusion overlaps that of oleasters. Populations of genuine wild olives seem restricted to isolated areas of Mediterranean forests, while most other wild-looking forms of olive may include feral forms that escaped cultivation. Methods: The genetic structure of wild and cultivated olive tree populations was evaluated by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers at a microscale level in one continental and two insular Italian regions. Key Results: The observed patterns of genetic variation were able to distinguish wild from cultivated populations and continental from insular regions. Island oleasters were highly similar to each other and were clearly distinguishable from those of continental regions. Ancient cultivated material from one island clustered with the wild plants, while the old plants from the continental region clustered with the cultivated group. Conclusions: On the basis of these results, we can assume that olive trees have undergone a different selection/domestication process in the insular and mainland regions. The degree of differentiation between oleasters and cultivated trees on the islands suggests that all cultivars have been introduced into these regions from the outside, while the Umbrian cultivars have originated either by selection from local oleasters or by direct introduction from other regions. © The Author 2006.

Time, History, and Becoming in Invisible Man
No full textChapter 1 locates the origins of Ralph Ellison’s philosophy of temporality in the ideas of Henri Bergson and Friedrich Nietzsche, and reads Ellison’s debut novel Invisible Man in light of these observations. Anticipating the work of Gilles Deleuze, Ellison places Nietzsche’s concept of eternal recurrence into a Bergsonian context by combining Nietzsche’s arguments about history and immanence with Bergson’s claims about time and its fundamental creativity. The resulting philosophy prefigures Deleuze’s ideas about difference and repetition, or, the complex relationship between becoming and being. Because Invisible Man is the text where Ellison first fully articulates these concepts, this chapter treats the novel as a critical overture to Ellison’s corpus and the temporal and historical themes that recur throughout it. In the process, this chapter challenges long-held misconceptions about Ellison, including his debt to existentialism, his dedication to disorder, his commitment to surrealism, and his status as a modernist author.</p
