Giovani di origine straniera e strategie identitarie : il ruolo delle pratiche di consumo nella costruzione di sé
No full textI giovani di origine straniera costituiscono oggi una parte considerevole dell’universo giovanile italiano. Diventa allora necessario porre l’attenzione alle loro esperienze di vita, sia perché rappresentano le avanguardie delle prime generazioni immigrate sia perché saranno i nostri futuri cittadini.
L’articolo analizza le strategie che gli adolescenti di origine straniera utilizzano per costruire le loro identità, concentrandosi in particolare sul significato che certi stili musicali, di abbigliamento, modi di divertimento assumono come mezzi simbolici di definizione, di delimitazione e comunicazione del proprio self.
L’intento finale è quello di evidenziare come le pratiche di consumo dei giovani di origine straniera possano configurarsi come forme di resistenza o al contrario di omologazione sociale e culturale
L’interazione quotidiana con l’altro. Le donne migranti e il lavoro di cura
No full textIn Italy many immigrant women work in domestic services and they replace the role of Italian women not only in typical domestic chores but also in taking care of the elderly and people with disabilities.
This article explores the relation between immigrant women and aged people whom they take care of, starting from the point that in everyday life the social distance between Italian and immigrants could become shorter and shorter.
The research is based on in-deep interviews to immigrant domestic workers who work and live with Italian aged people. Referring to E. Goffman, the focus is on the organization of setting inside the house, the invasion of territories of the Self, the type of communication and the language used, the existence of a stage and a backstage. The findings point out that immigrant women enter into a close relation with the Italian elderly: they become a sort of family member and they get involved in a relation which is outside of the domestic work and which implies a high level of empathy
Interculturalism in the classroom. The strengths and limitations of teachers in managing relations with children and parents of foreign origin
No full textThe article addresses the issue of interculturalism in Italian schools. Intercultural education has become a fundamental principle of the Italian school system since the ‘80s, when students of foreign origin began to considerably increase in number. Based on qualitative interviews and a focus group with educational staff, I will explore how interculturalism is enforced in the curricula and everyday school life. Although theoretically teachers accept the principle, they have difficulty in appreciating and positively reinforcing students’ differences in their teaching programs, and in managing some cultural and religious claims of immigrant families. They do not always succeed in overcoming their ethnocentric approach and culturally constructed views. The data will highlight the importance of teacher training in enabling them to better implement the intercultural approach in both content and educational styles.The ACCEPT PLURALISM project (2010-2013) is funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme, Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities.
