Cile. Storie di resistenza.
Dal Cile all’Italia. Storie di resistenza e migrazione dall’esilio a oggi.
Francesca Messineo e Emilia Marzullo
Attraverso l’incontro con tre protagoniste, questo articolo ripercorre la storia dei cileni e delle cilene
in Italia dagli anni della dittatura fino ad arrivare ai giorni nostri.
L. ci racconta dell’esilio, dello spazio che lei e suoi compagni hanno saputo ritagliarsi nella società
civile italiana, ma soprattutto del sostegno materiale e simbolico che l’Italia di allora fornì ai rifugiati
politici scappati dal Cile.
Con G., una giovane avvocata in Italia per motivi di studio, ricordiamo gli avvenimenti dell’ultimo
anno e mezzo. Le molte iniziative che i cileni e le cilene residenti all’estero hanno realizzato in
supporto del movimento per la nuova costituzione e per le dimissioni del Presidente.
E’ molto interessante notare come i diritti politici dei cileni e delle cilene all’estero siano stati
fortemente limitati nel tempo. I cileni all’estero hanno anche presentato un progetto di legge, che
purtroppo non è stato approvato, per garantire anche ai cittadini residenti all’estero di poter
eleggere i loro rappresentanti nella costituente.
Approfondire questo tema ci aiuta a capire quanto la migrazione sia un’esperienza sociale totale,
che influenza non solo chi parte e chi resta, ma la società nel suo complesso e l’idea stessa che
abbiamo di “comunità nazionale”.
C., giovane attivista femminista cilena a Padova non potrà votare per cambiare la storia del suo
paese e, contemporaneamente, lotta per l’ottenimento della cittadinanza italiana. Con lei
parleremo di questi temi che partendo dal Cile ci fanno riflettere anche sul nostro paese
Transnational political identities in the 18-O Chilean uprising
This work observes and questions the international impact and the everyday transnational features of the Chilean uprising of October 2019. Drawing on G. Schiller’s thought and combining it with transnational social movements’ scholarship, the analysis develops around two key axes. On the one hand, it charts the mainly indirect diffusion of ideas and practices that travelled from Chile (and from Latin America) and grew to become embedded in social movements worldwide. On the other hand, it offers an ethnographic account of the transnational networks that have mobilized in support of this struggle in Italy. In this way, the work highlights the parallel movement from everyday transnational experiences to the formation of transnational political identities, and from shared political identities to transnational daily interactions. By exploring the interplay between different diffusion mechanisms, this case study offers new insights into the construction of transnational collective identities. The methodology is ethnographic and engaged, a recursive dialogic relation between the author and some of the participants complements the observations and the interviews
THE 18-O CHILEAN UPRISING AND THE MAKING OF TRANSNATIONAL POLITICAL IDENTITIES
This work focuses on the Chilean uprising of October 2019, and briefly characterizes its events. However, the core interest is to observe and question the international impact and everyday transnational features of this movement. Drawing on G. Schiller’s thoughts and combining them with transnational social movements’ scholarship, the analysis develops around two key axes. On the one hand, it charts mainly indirect diffusion through the spread of ideas and practices that travelled from Chile (and from Latin America) and grew to become embedded in social movements worldwide. On the other hand, it offers an ethnographic account of the transnational networks that have mobilized in support of this struggle in Italy, with particular attention paid to Chileans abroad. In this way, our work highlights the parallel movement from everyday transnational experiences to the formation of transnational political identities, and from shared political identities to transnational daily interactions. By exploring the interplay between different diffusion mechanisms, this case study contributes to the discussion of the role of political agency in shaping diffusion dynamics, and offers new insights into the construction of transnational collective identities

Evaluation of equilibrium moisture content in ligno-cellulosic residues of olive culture
The use of ligno-cellulosic residuals from agriculture as means for renewable energy production is well known; nonetheless significant problems still exist on development of bioenergy value chains. Moisture content and hygroscopicity are among these problems. Higher moisture content of the biomass means lower calorific value and higher perishability, hence storage difficulties. For this reason it is important to evaluate how the moisture content of the material varies while it is stored and how the calorific value of the feedstock is affected by it. The purpose of this study is to determine the variation of moisture content and its influence on lower calorific value (LCV) of four types of solid residual biomass: oven dried chipped olive tree trimmings, milled olive pomace; oven dried olive tree trimmings and fresh olive tree trimmings. Moisture content of the samples is calculated by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) according to standard CEN/TS 14774-2:2004, while the LCVs are calculated by means of a calorimeter, following standard UNI EN 14918:2010. All the biomass samples were left to reach equilibrium moisture content (EMC) in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. Two different phases were analyzed with respect to moisture uptake rates: 1) fast moisture uptake rate phase (first four hours of exposure) and 2) slow moisture uptake rate, (the days following the first four hours of exposure). Samples experiencing fast moisture uptake rate, during the first four hours of exposure, were kept in a monitored ambient at T=22 ± 1oC and RH=59 ± 2%, while samples exposed to slow moisture uptake rate were kept in a climatic chamber at three different set of temperature and humidity controlled environment simulating the climatic conditions in different periods of the year in Enna province: 10oC - 80% RH (winter), 15oC - 70% RH (spring/autumn) and 20oC - 55% RH, (summer). The results obtained show that the olive pruning chips (0.425 mm to 1.00 mm and 1.00 mm to 2.00 mm particle size ranges) stored in a heap in a controlled climatic chamber require approximately 20 days to reach EMC. Depending on the particle size range EMCs reach the values of 6.2 and 7.5% by weight in the "summer" condition, 14.3% and 16.9% in "spring/autumn" condition, 24.1% and 28.2% in "winter" condition. Moisture is absorbed gradually over time and results show that in the first four hours, the dry sample exposed to ambient condition (T=22 ± 1 oC and RH=59 ± 2%) reaches a moisture content between 0.75 and 0.96% of its weight; the LCV at equilibrium is evaluated between 18, 576 J•odg-1 and 18, 793 J•odg-1, the higher value related to the bigger particle size range examined. Pomace heap under the same experimental set up and time period, reaches an equilibrium moisture content of 8.5% and 9.7% (summer conditions), 19.2% and 22.0% (spring/autumn condition) and between 30.9% and 34.1% (winter condition). Olive pomace accumulates moisture relatively faster than olive trimmings as dry sample recovers about 1.61% to 1.97% of moisture in the first four hours of exposure. The LCV at equilibrium is determined between 20, 145 J•odg-1 and 20, 436 J•odg-1. Pruning dried samples reach an EMC equal to 6.1% in approximately 25 days, with a LCV equal to18, 921 J•odg-1 ± 1.9%. Heaps of fresh prunings reach an EMC of 8.2% in approximately 20 days; LCV of the feedstock is 19, 356 J•odg-1± 1.6%.©2006-2014 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN). All rights reserved
