Borders, Migration and Globalization
The emergence of new and substantial human migration flows is one of the most important consequences of globalisation. While ascribable to widely differing social and economic causes, from the forced migration of refugees to upper-middle-class migration projects and the movement of highly skilled workers, what they have in common is the effect of contributing to a substantial global redefinition in terms of both identity and politics. This book contains contributions from scholars in the fields of law, social sciences, the sciences, and the liberal arts, brought together to delineate the features of the migration phenomena that will accompany us over the coming decades. The focus is on the m...
Il Tempo Dei Giovani
Il tempo dei giovani, ristampa della ricerca promossa dallo IARD e condotta a A.R. Calabr, A. Cavalli, C. Colucci, C. Leccardi, M. Rampazi, S.Tabboni e pubblicata nel 1985 nella collana Studi e Ricerche CCIII de Il Mulino, una ricerca sui giovani, ma una ricerca, per un aspetto importante, diversa dalle tante che sono state svolte su questo oggetto. Essa assume infatti il modo di porsi di fronte al tempo come ottica privilegiata per esplorare la condizione giovanile. L'idea di condurre una ricerca adottando questa ottica nata da una certa sensazione di riduttivit che le varie ricerche sui giovani tendono a suscitare. Questa pubblicazione si rivelata essere un riferimento importante per la ri...
Il Vento non soffia più. Gli zingari ai margini di una grande città.
Protagonisti di fatti più o meno gravi di cronaca nera, ma anche vittime di pregiudizi e di veri e propri episodi di razzismo, gli zingari rappesentano oggi una presenza scomoda, ma ormai stabile, nelle periferie delle più grandi città italiane. Una presenza che non può essere né eliminata, né ignorata ma che occorre comprendere e considerare con tutti i problemi che essa comporta. Ma chi sono realmente gli zingari? Come vivono? Cosa pensano? E soprattutto perché sono e rimangono così estranei a noi? In questo libro sono gli stessi Rom, adulti, bambini, vecchi, a prendere in prima persona la parola per raccontare, in maniera spesso cruda e disincantata, la loro vita di tutti i giorni, la memoria del loro passato, i propri sentimenti e progetti. Ledizioni ripropone questo testo, già edito da Marsilio nel 1992.
Feminine Feminists
Feminine Feminists was first published in 1994. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. What does it mean to be a woman today in Italy, a country with the lowest birthrate in the world and the heaviest maternal stereotype? Does being a feminist exclude practices of cultural femininity? What are Italian women's cultural productions? These questions are at the center of this volume, which looks at how feminism and femininity are embedded in a broad spectrum of Italian cultural practices. In recent years, several books have introduced the America...
How Fascism Ruled Women
"Italy has been made; now we need to make the Italians," goes a familiar Italian saying. Mussolini was the first head of state to include women in this mandate. How the fascist dictatorship defined the place of women in modern Italy and how women experienced the Duce's rule are the subjects of Victoria de Grazia's new work. De Grazia draws on an array of sources—memoirs and novels, the images, songs, and events of mass culture, as well as government statistics and archival reports. She offers a broad yet detailed characterization of Italian women's ambiguous and ambivalent experience of a regime that promised modernity, yet denied women emancipation. Always attentive to the great diversity...
Italian Goth Subculture
This book is the first in-depth investigation of the Goth subculture in Italy, focusing in particular on the city of Milan. It grows out of a three year research project - the first in Italy of this scope on the topic - based on the life histories of two dozen participants. In light of this, Simone Tosoni and Emanuela Zuccalà propose an innovative approach to the study of spectacular subcultures: contrarily to the most common accounts of the spectacular subcultures of the 80s, this book describes the experience of subcultural belonging as plural and internally diversified. In particular, three different variations - or 'enactments' - of goth are described in-depth: the politically engaged o...
Human Strike and the Art of Creating Freedom
The first English-language publication of writings by the collective artist Claire Fontaine, addressing our complicity with anything that limits our freedom. This anthology presents, in chronological order, all the texts by collective artist Claire Fontaine from 2004 to today. Created in 2004 in Paris by James Thornhill and Fulvia Carnevale, the collective artist Clare Fontaine creates texts that are as as experimental and politically charged as her visual practice. In. these writings, she uses the concept of “human strike” and adopts the radical feminist position that can be found in Tiqqun, a two-issue magazine cofounded by Carnevale. Human strike is a movement that is broader and more...
