Tradurre la “riflessività operativa”: l’insegnamento dell’antropologia medica applicata al diritto
No full textThe contribution shows how anthropological knowledge and methodology can be employed in the legal context. Although anthropology is no stranger to the legal world, light will be shed on the dynamics of its use and the ethical and positional dilemmas involved. Through an ethnographic excerpt of broader action research conducted to understand the weight of stereotypes and imaginaries in recognizing international protection, the author will reflect on the difficulties encountered in translating anthropological knowledge and methodology into the legal sphere. In particular, the author will discuss the implications of using cultural tests to interpret and validate migration stories and motivations
Old Rhetoric and New Devices: Quarantine Ships as an Instrument of Externalization
Full text linkThe article aims to illustrate and explore the rhetoric and institutional approach toward migrants – asylum seekers in particular – undertaken by Italy following the COVID-19 crisis. Through the account of the different “narrative phases” and the consequent institutional action undertaken, this article intends to demonstrate how the health crisis has sharpened and even intensified pre-existing attitudes and practices.
The actions taken in the last year can be understood as a further step in the process of externalizing the borders. Through the instrumental use of rhetoric and illegitimate practices, a sort of de-territorialization has been implemented through the use of quarantine ships
“How much more time do you need?”: Anthropological‐Legal Refections on the Impact of Chronopolitics for Asylum Seekers in Italy: Alasan’s Story
No full textThe last decade has witnessed an increasing proliferation of measures and strategies included in Italian and EU legislation to speed up the procedure for recognizing
international protection, implicitly emptying it of its protective capacity. The contribution, part of ethnographic research that started in 2012 and is still in progress, intends to analyze how the use of time as a tool to govern contemporary migration fows acts diferentially in terms of time spent, the time allowed, and time available, considering the diferent actors involved in determining its rhythm (Jacobsen and Karlsen, 2021; Della Puppa and Sanò in Studi Emigrazione, 220, 2020, in Journal of Modern Italian Studies, 26(5), 503–527, 2021; Rozakou, 2021). The paper will be composed of two parts: in the frst one, through the presentation of a life story, the impact on migrants’ experiences and emotional reactions to this unilateral determination of time dictated by policies and regulations will be problematized. The second part aims to examine the rationality of these procedures and assess their impact on the provisions in the broader legal framework. It seems interesting to investigate how control over time and through time (Tazzioli in Political Geography, 64, 13–22, 2018) is confgured as a “specifc modality of relations between parts of the world” (Fabian, 2021: 75), particularly how the “temporal architectures” (Sharma, 2014) enacted by Italy and the European Union have been codifed in the law and governance policies of the current migration fow, and how migrants experience and endure these policies

Tra cecità corticale e vecchi vizi. Riflessioni sui processi di esternalizzazione e distanziamento
Full text linkIl contributo intende riflettere criticamente sui processi di
esternalizzazione posti in essere dall’Italia e dall’Unione europea come modalità di
governance dei contemporanei flussi migratori. A partire dall’identificazione delle
caratteristiche salienti di tali processi, il contributo intende dimostrare l’esistenza di
linee di continuità nelle motivazioni edotte al loro rafforzamento, finalizzate ad un
distanziamento (fisico e sociale) sempre più evidente. In questo senso la pandemia da
Covid-19 può essere intesa come momento di ulteriore istituzionalizzazione di prassi
e normative quanto meno discutibili dal punto di vista della tutela dei diritti
fondamentali. Attraverso l’analisi del dibattito pubblico e istituzionale avvenuto negli
ultimi mesi, si intende mostrare come le stesse retoriche riemerse con veemenza nella
crisi pandemica afferiscano a vecchi immaginari ma siano altresì in grado di creare
spazi inediti di divisione.This contribution aims to reflect critically on the externalisation processes put in place by Italy and the European Union as a way to governance contemporary migratory flows. Starting from the identification of the salient aspects of these processes, the contribution intends to demonstrate the existence of lines of continuity in the motivations for their strengthening, aimed at an increasingly evident (physical and social) distancing. In this sense, the Covid-19 pandemic can be understood as a moment of further institutionalization of practices and regulations that are at least questionable from the point of view of the protection of fundamental rights. Through the analysis of the public and institutional debate that has taken place in the last few months, the contribution aims to show how the same rhetoric, that vehemently re-emerged in the pandemic crisis, is related to old imaginaries but is also able to create new spaces of division
“Fate presto!” Il paradigma della velocità come svuotamento del diritto alla protezione internazionale
No full textIn the last decade, we have increasingly witnessed the proliferation of measures and strategies, incorporated both in national and European legislation, aimed to accelerate the procedure for the recognition of international protection. The contribution, presenting part of an ethnographic research started in 2012 and still in progress, intends to problematize the rationality of these procedures and assess their impact with respect to the provisions contained in the wider legal framework,
i.e., international conventions and treaties. If, about space, there is a tendency towards so-called externalization, it is interesting to see how this tendency towards the de-empowerment of state obligations also affects the way time is managed, representing the most “advanced” strategy for emptying the right to international protection
‘Se tutto è mafia niente è mafia’. Riflessioni antropologico giuridiche sulla criminalità organizzata nigeriana
No full textStarting from a description of the characteristics identified by the Italian legal system for the recognition of the crime of mafia-type association (force of intimidation, associative bond, subjugation and code of silence) as defined by the 416 bis c.p., the contribution aims to produce an ethnography of the documents
(Riles 2006; Hull 2012) - such as judgments, DIA reports, intelligence services reports, acts of the Parliamentary Commission - in which the patrimony of information concerning Nigerian organized crime has been untextualized (Cabot 2011). The objective of this hermeneutic analysis is attempts to understand if
– and how – stereotypes and prejudices have informed the process of evaluation of behaviors recognized as mafia; is it appropriate to speak of culturalist rationality in this specific case? The proposed reasoning seems necessary because the imaginaries developed towards Nigerian criminal groups appear to be as much a structure as an outcome of the criminalization process mentioned by Wortley (2009). Is it possible
to detach the imaginaries referring to the criminal sphere from those existing in society in a general sense? In other words, is it possible for criminal groups of non-native people to emancipate themselves from the logic of subordinate differential inclusion (Castles 1995; Ambrosini 1999; Mezzadra 2004; Donatiello, Moiso 2017)? In this sense, the contribution, by making a comparison with what has happened in the
Italian context regarding the various mafia criminal groups, intends to identify the thinking of the institutions (Douglas 1990), revealing the short-circuits resulting from stereotypes in the real ability to combat criminal activities and problematizing the logics of translatability in being. For example, is it possible to decode the classic “control of the territory” usually acknowledged to autochthonous organized crime into “control of the community of origin”? Indeed, this question opens to a critical reflexivity of one’s own cultural context where it would be more appropriate to speak of “mutualistic symbiosis” (Pellegrini 2018) rather than “colonization” (Dalla Chiesa, Cabras 2019)

La clinica del diritto come spazio di cambiamento condiviso
No full textIl contributo intende restituire l’esperienza maturata in qualità di
co-progettatrice, coordinatrice e docente della clinica legale “Vittime,
discriminazioni e diritto” del Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza dell’Università di Bologna. Nella prima parte verranno raccontati la nascita e i successivi
sviluppi della clinica legale bolognese ed esplicitato il ruolo di antropologa all’interno del progetto clinico. Nella seconda parte del saggio ci si
concentrerà su due aspetti ritenuti fondamentali: da un lato le sfide poste dall’insegnamento clinico (tanto per gli studenti ma altresì per docenti e avvocati), dall’altro il potenziale trasformativo di questo particolare learning by doing rispetto ai classici metodi di insegnamento. L’attività delle cliniche del diritto sviluppate nel dipartimento bolognese offrono uno stimolante spazio di innovazione teorica in stretta connessione con un necessario ripensamento della metodologia didattica, caratterizzata da un duplice obiettivo: migliorare la capacità di
trasmettere le adeguate competenze professionali ai futuri giuristi,
adeguandole alle sfide poste dal mondo contemporaneo, nonché permettere di creare un contesto in cui poter trattare i nodi problematici (sia dal punto di
vista pedagogico, sia da quello tecnico) soggiacenti l’insegnamento e la pratica del diritto. Se da un lato le cliniche legali richiedono una premurosa attenzione rispetto agli aspetti tecnici del diritto, dall’altro - dialogando con le necessità pragmatiche della professione - aprono ai complessi mondi del “saper essere” e del “saper fare”, offrendo così una ricchissima occasione di confronto. Obiettivo dell’elaborato è dimostrare come il sapere condiviso e co-creato dall’esperienza di clinica legale possa essere foriero di empowerment e resilienza per tutti i diversi soggetti coinvolti, trasformando questo particolare insegnamento in uno spazio privilegiato per sperimentare metodologie inclusive e partecipate
The capability of 'models' to withstand change. The Bologna area in the wake of law 132/2018
No full textThis essay aims to reflect about the impact of the recent Italian Law 132/2018 and its effects on the reception policies for asylum seekers in the area of the Metropolitan City of Bologna. Starting to the fact that the system of developed in Bologna is considered a model of excellence, this contribution aims to examine its ability to deal the erosion of rights for asylum seekers provided by recent legislation. Will the integrated territorial system of reception and services react to the restrictions in access and protection imposed by Law 132/2018? The contribution is intended to give back the evolutions of the territorial system, trying to bring out the ambiguities and the founding causes of the criticalities that have become structural. Is it appropriate to speak of a model? If so, with what risks arising from the bureaucratic action that characterises the system at the apical level? A last paragraph will also be dedicated to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the territorial reception system, having affected the dynamics exposed in the essay
