Sheltering Women
Residents of Parma, Italy pride themselves on their sophistication and connection to European modernity. But despite a reputation for civility, intimate partner violence continues to take place, largely hidden from public view. Offering a detailed ethnography of two women's shelters—one leftist, the other Catholic—this book provides the political, cultural, and legal contexts of competing explanations for intimate partner violence. Some contend that violence against women reflects the cultural and historical gender inequalities embedded in Italian society, including "old-fashioned" or "traditional" understandings of masculinity. Others argue that it stems from confusion and ambivalence over "new" or "modern" forms of gender relations. While the first explanation places the blame on tradition and the second cites the transition to modernity, both emphasize societal understandings of gender and point to collective, rather than individual, responsibility. Through an intimate portrayal of everyday life, Sheltering Women reveals how violence against women can be studied as one part of a continuum of locally relevant understandings of gender relations and gender change.

Le Nascite e la Politica nell'Italia del Novecento
«Italiani, fate più figli»: una parola d’ordine che è stata un simbolo del fascismo. Oggi è di nuovo in auge. Un passato che ritorna o tutt’un altro fenomeno? Tra geografia e storia della popolazione, storia del pensiero demografico e storia politica, questo libro segue il sorgere, lo sparire e il riemergere in Italia, lungo quasi un secolo, dell’idea che lo stato debba promuovere la natalità. Lungo il filo rosso del nesso fra interpretazioni dei fatti demografici e scelte politiche si intreccia una molteplicità di temi: il confronto fra dinamiche demografiche e politiche nataliste, nell’Italia fascista e nel resto d’ Europa (l’Italia un’eccezione? l’Italia come gli al...
European Culture Wars and the Italian Case
This book aims to understand the European political debate about contentious issues, framed in terms of religious values by religious and/or secular actors in 21st century. It specifically focuses on the Italian case, which, due to its peculiar history and contemporary political landscape, is a paradigmatic case for the study of the relationships between religion and politics. In recent years, a number of controversies related to religious issues have characterised the European public debate at both the EU and the national level. The ‘affaire du foulard’ in France, the referendum on abortion in Portugal, the recognition of same-sex marriages in many Western European States, the debate ov...
The Great Reform That Never Was
In Italy, 2016 was meant to be the year of the "great reform," a constitutional revision that would have concluded the never-ending transition from "First" to "Second" Republic, a long process involving several transformations in the electoral system and party system since the 1990s. It did not turn out this way. Instead, the Renzi-Boschi law for constitutional revision, which started its parliamentary procedure in April 2014 and saw its final reading in the Chamber of Deputies in April 2016, was eventually rejected by voters in a confirmative referendum held on 4 December.

L’ordinamento costituzionale italiano alla prova della democrazia paritaria
La partecipazione delle donne alla vita politica e la loro presenza all’interno delle istituzioni, dopo decenni di ostacoli giuridici e socio-culturali, lungi dall’essere un dato meramente quantitativo, rappresenta a tutti gli effetti una questione di qualità della democrazia: un’assemblea elettiva o un organo di governo che, nella loro composizione, non contemplino la presenza equilibrata di entrambi i generi non possono dirsi realmente democratiche, poiché non consentono di attuare pienamente il concorso di uomini e donne alla res publica di cui condividono la cittadinanza. Dopo aver analizzato il percorso travagliato tra il XIX e il XX secolo attraverso il quale le donne hanno ott...
