Heidegger ai margini. Antropologia e trasgressione dello spazio urbano: un caso studio
Full text linkThe Programa Especial de Realojamento (PER) offers the opportunity to the municipalities situated in Lisbon and Porto metropolitan areas of succeeding in eliminating clandestine neighborhoods and providing the reallocation of the residents in social houses. The decree contextualizes the housing problem as «a still open plague in our social fabric».The current process implementation, more than twenty-year far from the original formulation, has produced complex adaptation, resistance and fighting dynamics. Through the analyses of an ethnographic case study, the author problematizes the implementation of this governance program, focusing on the consequent systematic demolition of informal settlements in the Lisbon periphery under the aegis of the urban renewal doctrine

Ghostly real estate: Haunting, debt and capitalist realism in Milan
No full textGhosts and analogous supernatural entities are pervasive cultural objects. Anthropologists have delved into the religious, social and cultural value of these presences in depth. However, the discipline does not seem to have dedicated enough energy to interpreting this phenomenon in late capitalist societies. Nevertheless, the relationship between ghosts and capitalism constitutes an object of great interest. The real estate sector seems to be particularly suited to investigating the logic of haunting in contemporary societies. Haunting, which gives rise to ghosts, is a compelling category for understanding power relations and economic brutality. Following Derrida, ghosts are relations that mediate different temporalities in the present. In the cases of the foreclosure I ethnographically observed in Milan, those peculiar relations are debt relationships. Judges and justice system actors who oversee the procedures, aware of the presence of ghosts, act in the awareness that this haunting can in no way be resolved, following a logic that Fisher has defined as ‘capitalist realism’

No full textFuori casa. Antropologia degli sfratti a Milano
No full textFuori Casa analizza antropologicamente la perdita della casa nella Milano contemporanea. Il saggio problematizza la costruzione di una classe di “indesiderabili” sempre più ampia e allo stesso tempo sempre più invisibile – gli sfrattati – intesa come esito di un più ampio processo di produzione sociale della differenza. Attraverso il prisma dello sfratto, il volume valuta l’esponenziale aumento di persone allontanate forzosamente dalla propria abitazione come esempio paradigmatico di una sempreverde “invenzione dell’altro”, tesa a produrre categorie di soggetti ambigui e liminali attraverso i quali delineare (materialmente, moralmente, simbolicamente) i limiti dell’appartenenza e dell’esclusione, rinforzando così le gerarchie tra le classi sociali
