Abele De Blasio e l'Antropologia Criminale
No full textDe Blasio è conosciuto dal largo pubblico soprattutto per i suoi studi sulla camorra e la malavita a Napoli, che sono stati oggetto di una serie di articoli su riviste dell’epoca e dei seguenti libri:
Usi e costumi dei camorristi (1897), Nel paese della camorra (1901), La malavita a Napoli (1905).Il tatuaggio (1905).
In questi lavori egli si ispira a quelli che sono i principi della scuola antropologica positiva e sceglie come oggetto di studio la malavita e le classi ''pericolose'' analizzate secondo l'ottica della patologia sociale o del disordine mentale, utilizzando i nuovi strumenti scientifici offerti da questa disciplina, con il proposito di separare la parte malata dalla sana della società, di espellere ed emarginare i diversi.
Dalle sue opere risulta evidente che la cultura camorristica dei suoi tempi è un prodotto culturale sincretico, che ha assunto come propri valori della cultura popolare napoletana rielaborandoli e adattandoli alle proprie finalità, facendo leva su alcuni elementi della cultura popolare e sui problemi reali delle classi popolari.
De Blasio è importante per i suoi lavori, ma soprattutto per il suo impegno di intellettuale e di cittadino che, con gli strumenti e le ideologie della sua epoca, ma con estrema lucidità e chiarezza, è riuscito a denunciare delle condizioni sociali difficilissime, all’interno delle quali quest’organizzazione criminale si è affermata come una società parallela a quella ufficiale, in grado non solo di esercitare il monopolio della violenza ma di sottrarlo allo stato
Walter Benjamin. Bambini, abbecedari, giocattoli
No full textI contributi raccolti in questo volume ricostruiscono le tappe fondamentali dell'interesse di Benjamin per il mondo dell'infanzia, documentano i suoi interventi contro impostazioni pedagogiche troppo razionalistiche, e illuminano il significato degli oggetti di gioco, con cui il bambino, al pari del collezionista, istituisce un autentico rapporto feticistico
Emiliana De Blasio, Matthew Hibberd, Michele Sorice Popular politics, populism and the leaders. Access without participation? The cases of Italy and UK
No full textBetween participation and populism: crisis, political parties and new movements in the Italian public sphere
No full textDuring the first years of the 21th century we have witnessed many events in our societies, some of them without precedent at all in our recent history, which have involved irreversible changes. The attacks to the Twin Towers in New York City, the resulting sequence of wars in the Middle East, and the international financial collapse are very good examples of these happenings. All these developments of international consequences have led to a new dimension of political communication, and have reoriented some of its traditional meanings, after a very clear dynamic has irrupted in our lives: the crisis.
Many new dynamics have introduced significant changes and altered the nature of international relations, the processes of policy making, the governmental performances, the citizen's demands, the electoral campaigns, and the geographical tensions, among other socio-political developments. The revolutionary wave of demonstrations, protests, riots and civil wars in the Arab world starting in 2010 (Arab spring); the waves of human asylum seekers as a direct consequence of this reality; the so-called colour revolutions that overthrew governments in Georgia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, and Lebanon; the territorial conflict between Russia and Ukraine; the intensification of the anti-globalisation movements; the outraged protests around the world; the conflict between Israel and Palestine, one of the hardest and longest conflicts to date that has been reactivated over and over; the terrorist attacks in Madrid, London, Boston and Paris; or the recent global threat created by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS); all this leads societies to an unprecedented present in the realm of political communication.
Some of those topics are treated in this volume, approaching the main questions with the googles of political communication, since most of these developments have a very visible communicational dimension. This book comprises several chapters divided into five different sections. These stimulating pieces of research were presented by 30 international contributors, from almost 10 different nationalities. In particular, the chapter written by Emiliana De Blasio and Michele Sorice concerns the relationship between populism and political parties in Italy

Understanding McDonald's Among the "World’s Most Ethical Companies"
Full text linkThe animal welfare policies and related public communication initiatives
of McDonald’s corporation are examined in the context of the organization being named as one of the world’s most ethical organizations.
The result is a framework for understanding how McDonald’s and similar organizations could warrant
the status of a most ethical company. Specifically, the narrative strength of the company’s articulation
of an animal welfare policy and its ongoing promotion as a legitimizing
strategy illustrate how McDonald’s
might address the social and ethical issues it encounters through its operations and how its stakeholding
publics are likely to respond. By maintaining narrative strength in communication initiatives and attaining legitimacy, an organization can be perceived as operating within ethical and social norms regardless of policies, perceptions, and reputation
that suggest otherwise

Prefazione
No full textCosa sappiamo dell’efficacia delle politiche per lo sviluppo del Mezzogiorno? Hanno raggiunto gli obiettivi che si proponevano? Ci sono stati degli effetti collaterali negativi?
Negli ultimi venticinque anni il progresso della scienza economica e la disponibilità di nuovi dati hanno consentito di passare da una generica aspettativa alla misurazione rigorosa degli effetti degli aiuti al Meridione. Siamo ora in grado di verificare, con metodologie statistiche rigorose, se i trasferimenti monetari abbiano effettivamente contribuito a sollevare le sorti del Sud.
Quello che emerge dalla lettura di questo libro è che l’evidenza a favore di tali interventi è scarsa, ed è più deludente di quella desumibile da politiche simili messe in atto negli altri Paesi.
Come scrive Nicola Rossi nella sua prefazione, «il pamphlet di Accetturo e de Blasio è, per certi versi e giustamente, financo impietoso nel segnalare l’inefficacia delle politiche di sviluppo territoriale. Non uno degli strumenti messi in campo dalla politica regionale dell’ultimo quarto di secolo viene in qualche senso e in qualche misura risparmiato dal lavoro puntuale dei due economisti»
