Vulnerability, responsibilities, and migration
No full textVulnerability is commonly considered as a feature of human beings on which our duties towards each other are grounded: we ought to help the vulnerable in virtue of their being such. Our duties seem rather clear when those in need are close to us, both physically and culturally, but less so when they are distant in either of the two senses. In this essay we wish to investigate the strength of our duties towards migrants, who are often either culturally or physically distant, yet vulnerable by definition – fleeing from wars, dictatorships, poverty, climate change, or other calamities. The view we aim to defend, is that our duties towards them, unlike what has been suggested by David Miller, are duties of justice, not of beneficence, and involve duties to host. This, we claim, is owed to migrants’ very vulnerability, which is not due to some kind of misfortune, but, eventually, to some form of injustice. We will also claim that taking into account migrants’ own responsibility, either as individuals or as members of a collectivity, is of no practical use when establishing our duties to host them
Apprendere in carcere. Note da un'esperienza di stage
No full textQueste ‘note dal campo’ derivano dell’esperienza di tutoraggio e accompagnamento allo studio compiuta dagli autori con un gruppo di detenuti studenti del carcere di Milano Opera, iscritti al corso di laurea in Sociologia dell’Università di Milano-Bicocca. Tale esperienza ha permesso di sviluppare una prospettiva privilegiata sui processi di apprendimento e socializzazione al carcere, in grado di evidenziare le molteplici – e talvolta contraddittorie – tensioni affrontate da chi entra nei luoghi della detenzione per la prima volta. Il lettore è accompagnato all’interno del carcere attraverso la descrizione degli spazi in cui il tutoraggio ha avuto luogo e delle interazioni avute sia con i detenuti sia con diverse figure professionali presenti in carcere. Nel corso del racconto emerge come la scarsa attenzione istituzionale verso la condizione carceraria costituisca il frame principale attivato nei processi di socializzazione rilevati, in virtù della sua capacità di conferire un significato generale ad aspetti della vita quotidiana in carcere apparentemente banali
Modus vivendi beyond toleration
No full textThis chapter will focus on the relationship between toleration and modus vivendi. The overall aim is to defend an idea of modus vivendi as a strategy for the political inclusion of people who are not tolerant, without betraying the fundamentals of liberal democracies. To do that, some introductory notes about modus vivendi and toleration are required . After spelling out the essential meanings of both notions, it will be shown how they go in parallel when they are both adopted in the political frame: a) modus vivendi can be the name for negative toleration as mere non-interference; b) modus vivendi can be the name for toleration as forbearance, hence it presupposes a negative even intolerant attitude towards the ‘tolerated’; c) modus vivendi can entail a positive idea of toleration as moderate recognition; that is, modus vivendi is here a strategy for intolerant people to be included into citizenry albeit under certain conditions
