It focuses on written sources such as documents and historiography of the LGBT movement (so called since the time of the World Pride 2000 event in Rome), and a press review covering the years 2013- 2016. The aim of this reconstruction is to show if and how sexual difference, rather important in matters of procreation, has been talked about within this context. The overwhelming majority of same-sex parents in couples are lesbians, but, as will be shown, lesbians have been seldom mentioned in the debate (main source: a press survey).

  • Organized Crime and Electoral Outcomes. Evidence from Sicily at the Turn of the XXI Century
    Organized Crime and Electoral Outcomes. Evidence from Sicily at the Turn of the XXI Century Paolo Buonanno,∗ Giovanni Prarolo (corresponding author),y Paolo Vaninz November 4, 2015 Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between Sicilian mafia and politics by fo- cusing on municipality-level results of national political elections. It exploits the fact that in the early 1990s the Italian party system collapsed, new parties emerged and mafia families had to look for new political allies. It presents evidence, based on disaggregated data from the Italian region of Sicily, that between 1994 and 2013 Silvio Berlusconi’s party, Forza Italia, obtained higher vote shares at national elec- tions in municipalities plagued by mafia. The result is robust to the use of different measures of mafia presence, both contemporary and historical, to the inclusion of different sets of controls and to spatial analysis. Instrumenting mafia’s presence by determinants of its early diffusion in the late XIX century suggests that the correla- tion reflects a causal link.

Introduction The relationship between mafia and politics is a crucial but empirically under-investigated issue. In this paper we explore the connection between mafia presence and party vote shares at national political elections, employing municipality level data from the mafia-plagued Italian region of Sicily.

  • LA FAMIGLIA the Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks
    LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Eva Carlestål LA FAMIGLIA The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Anthropology presented at Uppsala University in 2005 ABSTRACT Carlestål, Eva, 2005. La Famiglia – The Ideology of Sicilian Family Networks. DICA, Disser- tations in Cultural Anthropology, 3. 227 pp. Uppsala. ISSN 1651-7601, ISBN 91-506-1791-5. Anthropological data from fieldwork carried out among a fishing population in western Sicily show how related matrifocal nuclear families are tightly knit within larger, male-headed networks. The mother focus at the basic family level is thereby balanced and the system indi- cates that the mother-child unit does not function effectively on its own, as has often been argued for this type of family structure. As a result of dominating moral values which strong- ly emphasise the uniqueness of family and kin, people are brought up to depend heavily upon and to be loyal to their kin networks, to see themselves primarily as parts of these social units and less so as independent clearly bounded individuals, and to distinctly separate family members from non-family members. This dependence is further strengthened by matri- and/or patrivicinity being the dominant form of locality, by the traditional naming system as well as a continual use of kin terms, and by related people socialising and collaborating closely. The social and physical boundaries thus created around the family networks are further streng- thened by local architecture that symbolically communicates the closed family unit; by the woman, who embodies her family as well as their house, having her outdoor movements restric- ted in order to shield both herself and her family; by self-mastery when it comes to skilfully calculating one's actions and words as a means of controlling the impression one makes on others; and by local patriotism that separates one's co-villagers from foreigners.

  • ROMA IRSO 310S Subject: International Relations, Sociology Credits: 3 Semester/Term: ☐ Spring ☐ Fall ☒ Summer
    Instructor (s): Dr. Stefania Gialdroni & Dr. Angela Condello – in collaboration with ABUONDIRITTO NGO (President: Prof. Luigi Manconi, also President of the Human Rights Committee of the Italian Senate). Course Title: Navigating the Dangerous Seas of Universal Human Rights: the Mediterranean migration emergency Course Code: ROMA IRSO 310S Subject: International Relations, Sociology Credits: 3 Semester/Term: ☐ Spring ☐ Fall ☒ Summer Course The aim of the course is to give a complete overview of migration in Italy by Description: means of a trans-disciplinary and experiential approach. During the first two weeks of the course (Rome), the students will be provided with a historical-philosophical introduction to the phenomenon and to the legal framework; in this phase, the students will also have the opportunity to have a direct experience of the conditions of migrants and asylum seekers in Italy - for example, by visiting the Afghan Refugees Camp and other communities of migrants living in Rome as well as by interacting with the NGOs involved in the integration of migrants. During the third week, in the area of Siracusa (Sicily), where thousands of migrants arrive almost every day, the students will actively participate in the increasingly important “Festival Internazionale del Cinema di Frontiera – International Film Festival of Frontier” in Marzamemi (SR) - and will also meet the people engaged in facing the migration emergency everyday (institutional and non-institutional organizations as well as local people). The goal of this section is to make the students aware of the entire gammut of physical and emotional conditions of migrants by “sensing” their lives through the depiction on film.
