Partiti populisti, diritti e uguaglianza di genere
No full textThe Great Recession changed the political landscape of the European democracies with the electoral success of populist protest parties in different countries. In this article, we wonder if there are features that characterized these political parties about the issues of gender equality and women’s rights. Populism and feminization of politics are recurring topics in the scholars’ debate, but the relationships between these two phenomena are still little studied. Seeing as the issue is linked to context, and not only to the political parties’ differences, we will focus on three illustrative cases, in different European nations – Spain, Finland, Poland – analysing scientific literature and documents. The hypothesis is that the issues of gender can be an additional contentious line useful for defining identity and differences in the heterogeneous set of populist parties
Khaldūn: “Solidarietà e cambiamento”
No full textKhaldūn has been compared to Machiavelli, Bodin, Vico, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, Condorcet, Hegel, August Comte, Herbert Spencer and many other Western thinkers. His economic analysis has been compared to that of Marx. Although many associate his work with that of sociology and the social sciences, because of its focus on the observation of reality, others question this analogy because of the absence of a scientific method. His pioneering reflections and some of the concepts he developed, such as that of solidarity, still appear to be of extreme heuristic value for the social sciences from an unprecedented point of view

Felicità e società aperta

INCLUSIVE DECISION MAKING: THE ONLINE COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN AS AN EXAMPLE OF PARTICIPATIVE POLICY
No full textFor decades, national states have confronted various challenges to the democratic form of government.
In such a highly complex frame, the question is, can public participation to policymaking still be a way to reach a more effective governance? In this chapter, I will attempt to demonstrate how inclusive bottom-up decision-making could improve the results of single projects and of wider European public policies. In the first part, I describe the European frame in which inclusive policymaking was born; then, in the second part, I analyse the Oltre project and its results as an example of participatory practices
Cancer Epigenetics: Biomolecular Therapeutics for Human Cancer
No full textCancer Epigenetics: Biomolecular Therapeutics in Human Cancer is the only resource to focus on biomolecular approaches to cancer therapy. Its presentation of the latest research in cancer biology reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the field and aims to facilitate collaboration between the basic, translational, and clinical sciences. © 2011 Wiley-Blackwell

Conflict and Transformation in the Political Socialisation Process of the Tamil Second-generation
No full textThe paper aims to analyse the political socialisation processes of the second-generation of the Tamil community in Palermo, from a reflexive perspective (Bettin Lattes 2006).
The theoretical framework of reference considers political socialisation as a process whereby one becomes a member of a political community, in close connection between
this and a broader socialisation with overlaps between the political dimension and the other aspects that mark one’s life. The paper presents the results of a research conducted in Palermo, collecting 20 biographical interviews of second-generation youth and adults of Tamil origin (then analysed through the T-Lab software) and carrying out participant observation of secular and religious events. An active and changing pathway that each subject contributes to create between continuity, conflict and change is revealed.
In which the institutional and individual dimensions intertwine, in a complex framework that unites several levels: local, national and transnational in the biographies of individuals and in the life of the diasporic community (Macaluso, Tumminelli 2023).
Intersectional inequalities, occupational segmentation, gender and generational differences are intertwined in biographies with practices of life politics, political participation often in the absence of citizenship, and the claiming of rights and recognition for oneself and one’s community history. The reversible and changeable character of socialisation as a process open to change also suggests interesting
insights into permanent socialisation. Thus, an enduring process that makes symbolic resources available in the complexity of postmodern politics, manifestly or latently
involving different socialising agencies, in the context of “deep mediatisation” (Couldry, Hepp 2017)
