    Parata dei Turchi

    No full text
    Il testo ha come obiettivo la definizione delle condizioni che hanno determinato nel tempo la patrimonializzazione della Storica Parata dei Turchi a Potenza allo scopo di cogliere il senso di partecipazione comunitaria in un evento oggi avvertito come uno dei principali simboli identitari della storia cittadina. L’analisi si snoda attraverso le vicende che hanno progressivamente segnato il passaggio da una festa popolare, organizzata dalle contrade e da comitati spontanei, a evento rievocativo codificato e dotato di una sceneggiatura e di una regia, fino a definire la situazione attuale con la individuazione dei diversi soggetti che oggi si costituiscono come una comunità di pratica la quale opera con l’intenzione di favorire l’apprendimento di significati condivisi e forme di partecipazione comunitaria in funzione della salvaguardia della Parata e della sua valorizzazione.This essay delineates the circumstances that have led to the heritagization of the Storica Parata dei Turchi (Historical Turks ́ Parade) in Potenza, and it aims to bring light to the participation of communities in an event that, today, is one of the main identifying symbols of the city ́s history. The author presents the movements that have progressively induced the passage from a popular feast that was organized by groups of neighbors and spontaneous committees to a codified commemorative event based on a script. Finally, he discusses the current situation, when different actors compose a community of practice that puts shared meanings and forms of participation at the service of the parade ́s safeguarding and enhancement

    Parents of Children with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD): A Narrative Study of the Social and Clinical Impact of CHD Diagnosis on Their Role and Health

    No full text
    Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) lead to psychological and social repercussions for parents of affected children: the diagnosis, screenings, surgeries, and hospitalization, as well as ongoing difficulties bring with them stress, anxiety, fear, stigmatization, and isolation. Studies investigating parents’ direct perspective on these issues lack in the field literature. Our research aims to leverage parents’ narratives in order to explore how they describe their role as parents of a child with CHD and the impact of its social and clinical repercussions on their lives. We recruited 45 parents and analyzed their narratives through the MADIT approach, focusing on the discursive modalities and content cores employed. Parents describe and judge their role as ‘worried-protective’, ‘heroic’, ‘normal-untroubled’, and ‘unfortunate’, in a way that strongly characterizes the person, leaving limited possibilities for assuming different features. The clusters ‘state of ordeal’, ‘state of alert-overprotection’, and ‘personal identity changes’ are connoted as inevitable and established component of parents’ lives, while ‘limitation of life experiences’ is less monolithic and more open to change. Current narratives assume a totalizing form in the life of these parents, that can lead to stigma and exacerbate the already present difficulties and challenges, that need targeted psychological intervention by field professionals
