Per una politica archeologica sarda e una regionalizzazione dei "beni nuragici"
No full textIl contributo avanza una proposta di regionalizzazione del patrimonio
archeologico regionale risalente all’età nuragica sulla base di quattro argomenti: la
civiltà nuragica rappresenta un unicum sardo e come tale uno dei tasselli della specialità;
essa ha ultimamente vissuto un rinascimento popolare che, dall’oblio e disprezzo,
l’ha portata a divenire elemento identitario; una politica archeologica regionale
potrebbe essere il perno di una serie di politiche integrate per il rilancio economico
dell’isola; la regionalizzazione favorirebbe una tutela più dedicata. Introducendo il
nuovo concetto di “beni nuragici”, il contributo auspica che il movimento popolare
che nelle ultime decadi ha portato ad un rinnovato interesse per questo bene comune
trovi una recezione normativa da parte della Regione autonoma della Sardegna. Il
contributo individua lo strumento tecnico giuridico in una norma di attuazione dello
Statuto, seguita una legge regionale che, come nel caso della lingua sarda, consenta
la realizzazione di una politica archeologica sarda organica

Culturally motivated crimes in Brazil: the case of rape/non-rape among the Guaranì Indians (with remarks on Roma early marriages) *
ABSTRACT: This article describes a culturally motivated crime that came to the attention of a Brazilian court: sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of fourteen in a Guaranì group, indios from the Mata Atlantica. The judge acquitted the accused taking into account the fact that in the Guaranì society a woman becomes an adult with menarche and that sexual initiation is widespread in this culture. The accused had violated the protocol of this initiation, for which he will be sanctioned according to the norms of Guaranì law. The Brazilian case allows for a series of observations on the debate on Roma early marriages that is taking place in Europe, and on the different treatment between sex acts in this context and sex acts between minors under fourteen years old and other teenagers in the majority cultures of Europe

The “Cultural Test” as Cultural Expertise: Evolution of a Legal–Anthropological Tool for Judges
No full textThis paper analyzes the state of cultural expertise in Italy and then focuses on how it can be
improved through a kind of cultural expertise that Italian academics, judges, and lawyers are currently
debating: the so-called “cultural test”. This is a legal test for dealing with culture, which originally
emerged as judicial tool in Northern American courts: It consists of a set of pre-established questions
that a judge has to answer in order to decide whether or not to accept a cultural claim made by a
migrant or by a person that belongs to minority communities. Whereas some questions of the cultural
test refer to typical legal balancing between rights, other questions incorporate anthropological
knowledge within the trial, requiring the judge to analyze the cultural practice at issue, its historical
origin, the importance it has within the community, and other information about which the judge
would not be sufficiently knowledgeable without resorting to anthropology. In this sense, the “cultural
test” is a form of standardized cultural expertise that helps both the judge and the cultural expert in
their tasks. The paper reveals both the arguments against and those in favor of the adoption of the
“cultural test” and how they are currently unfolding in the Italian debate
