Il ritorno nel paese d’origine: una favola che fa bene al cuore
No full textL’articolo analizza il fenomeno della migrazione di ritorno, inteso come il processo attraverso cui persone migranti rientrano nei paesi d’origine dopo un periodo di permanenza in Italia, con un focus sul ritorno delle donne. Sebbene comunemente classificato come spontaneo, volonta-rio o forzato, il ritorno si configura come un’esperienza complessa, che sfugge a definizioni rigide che spesso vedono nel ritorno il fallimento di un progetto migratorio. Attraverso l’analsi dei dati raccolti in due focus group realizzati nell’ambito del progetto We Propose – Processi, Policy e Network a supporto delle donne che ritornano verso Tunisia e Marocco, che hanno coinvolto attori impegnati nell’ambito dell’inclusione sociale e interculturale, alcuni dei quali con esperienze migratorie dirette, l’articolo mette in luce la complessità del tema. I risultati evidenziano come le decisioni di ritorno siano fortemente influenzate dal contesto comunitario, da fattori socio-politici nei paesi di origine e di destinazione e da un diffuso desiderio di re-migrazione. Il ritorno emerge così come parte di un processo migratorio circolare, dinamico, non riconosciuto dalle politiche migratorie in Italia. Particolare attenzione è rivolta alle espe-rienze delle donne migranti, spesso esposte a processi di stigmatizzazione e marginalizzazione, in Italia così come nel paese d’origine, per cui il ritorno, per quanto desiderato, è difficilmente praticabile. Lo studio invita a ripensare le politiche migratorie attuali, affinché siano in grado di valorizzare il ritorno non come fallimento, ma come parte integrante di una traiettoria mi-gratoria plurale, capace di intercettare le specificità delle categorie sociali che accedono agli strumenti di supporto del ritorno, come, appunto le donne
Chi semina sfruttamento raccoglie campagne, di sensibilizzazione. Il ruolo delle diaspore nel contrasto allo sfruttamento lavorativo
No full textLo sfruttamento lavorativo agisce in maniera più violenta su categorie sociali più deboli. Le persone migranti sono maggiormente a rischio di essere sfruttate per fattori normativi, istituzionali, sociali e culturali che creano isolamento, asimmetrie di potere e maggiore povertà relazionale.
In che modo la comunicazione istituzionale ha affrontato il tema dello sfruttamento lavorativo connesso al tema della migrazione?
Dopo aver analizzato le principali campagne di informazione promosse in Italia negli ultimi 15 anni, l’articolo presenta il punto di vista dei membri di diverse associazioni diasporiche presenti sul territorio relativamente al loro grado di conoscenza delle stesse campagne, della loro percezione rispetto allo sfruttamento lavorativo e alla loro disponibilità a collaborare con le istituzioni per questo comune obiettivo.Like immigration itself, which has been structural in Italy for at least three decades, the phenomenon of labour exploitation is also treated as an emergency, both in terms of media representations and in political and regulatory measures.
But a biased and distorted representation that has invaded the mediapolis for years fuels a dangerous gap between the statistical realitỳ of the phenomenon and the perception of it, to the point of 'normalising' hatred against differences. One of the most powerful tools to improve public communication about phenomena are media campaigns, a recent and important media genre able to inform the public, to prevent social inequalities, and to suggest more adequate behaviors. Starting from a mapping of the institutional communication campaigns about labor exploitations, recently activated in Italy by Ministries, the authors conducted two focus groups and 15 interviews with privileged witnesses active in diaspora associations in Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Lombardy.
The aim is to investigate the effect these campaigns have on migrants, starting from the perspective of diaspora associations, recognizing their role as new agents of social change.
As the results show, campaigns hardly go viral, and tend to squeeze migrant workers between "those who made it" and "those who did not make it", or rather "cannot make it", with the risk of reinforcing stigmatisation and polarising discourses on exploitation.
In conclusion, the diasporas declare their willingness to collaborate in the fight against exploitation, demanding constant involvement in the political and cultural processes in order to contribute to collective achievement of justice for everybody
Così lontani, così vicini. Vecchie e nuove emigrazioni delle persone emiliano romagnole in Francia, Svizzera e Regno Unito
Get PDFIn continuità con la ricerca "Verso un turismo delle radici in Emilia-Romagna" effettuata nel 2022/23 sulle comunità di emiliano-romagnoli in Argentina e Brasile, questo progetto mira a indagare il sentimento di appartenenza degli emiliano romagnoli in Francia, Svizzera e Gran Bretagna in relazione alla loro terra di origine e le loro aspettative o abitudini di viaggio nei luoghi delle origini.
Alla luce del fatto che nell’agenda del Ministero italiano degli affari esteri e della cooperazione internazionale il 2024 è individuato come l’anno della promozione del “turismo delle radici”, un focus speciale tratta anche il tema della nuova mobilità, andando a indagare l’immagine che gli emiliano-romagnoli trasferitisi in suddetti paesi negli ultimi anni hanno del loro territorio di nascita e le modalità di fruizione dello stesso in occasione dei ritorni a casa
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
