Grillo WT 01.Indd IMISCOE grillo ₍ed.₎ The family life of immigrants and settled ethnic minority populations is now central ReseaRch to arguments about the rights and wrongs of living in multicultural societies. As the practices believed to be characteristic of such families become the object of much media comment and frequent policy initiatives, an intense, often acrimonious debate about cultural difference has arisen. At the same time, individuals are themselves reflecting deeply on how to manage their ties in a world where migration The in Family Question is transnational, societies are increasingly pluralised and relations become more The Family in Question complex and less clear-cut. This volume explores these debates in a series of case studies on immigrant and ethnic minority families in Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and Australia. The Family in Question Immigrant and Ethnic Minorities shows how those concerned with public policy often unthinkingly reflect the in Multicultural Europe popular imagination and contribute to what in recent times has become a dangerous xenophobic stereotyping of immigrants and their descendants. ralph grillo (ed.)

Networks of Excellence are cooperative research ventures that were created by the European Commission to help overcome the fragmentation of international studies. They amass a crucial source of knowledge and expertise to help inform European leadership today. Since its foundation in 2004, IMISCOE has advanced an integrated, multi- disciplinary and globally comparative research programme to address the themes specified in its name, short for: International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe. IMISCOE members come from all branches of the economic and social sciences, the humanities and law. The Network draws from existing studies and advances innovative lines of inquiry key to European policymaking and governance. Priority is placed on developing a theoretical design to promote new research and offer practical alternatives for sound policy. The IMISCOE-Amsterdam University Press Series was created to make the Network’s findings and results available to researchers, policymakers, the media and the public at large. High-quality manuscripts authored by IMISCOE members and cooperating partners are published in one of four distinct series. Research Reports Dissertations Textbooks The RESEARCH series presents empirical and theoretical scholarship addres- sing issues of international migration, integration and social cohesion in Europe. Authored by experts in the field, the works provide a rich reference source for researchers and other concerned parties. The REPORTS series responds to needs for knowledge within IMISCOE’s mandated fields of migration research. Compiled by leading specialists, the works disseminate succinct and timely information for European policymakers, practitioners and other stakeholders. The DISSERTATIONS series showcases select PhD monographs written by IMISCOE doctoral candidates. The works span an array of fields within studies of international migration, integration and social cohesion in Europe. The TEXTBOOKS series produces manuals, handbooks and other didactic tools developed by specialists in migration studies. The works are used within the IMISCOE training programme and for educational purposes by academic insti- tutes worldwide.

Preface Ralph Grillo Families of immigrants and settled populations of immigrant origin have become central to arguments about the rights and wrongs of ways of living in multicultural societies in Europe and elsewhere. The cultur- al practices believed to be characteristic of such families are central to the current intense, acrimonious debate about difference and its limits. Such (often imagined) practices are frequently the object of policy in- itiatives and much media comment, and on a daily basis preoccupy so- cial service practitioners, teachers and others. At the same time, immi- grants and ethnic minorities are themselves reflecting on how to man- age their family relationships in a changing world in which migration is transnational, societies are increasingly pluralised, and relations ever more complex and less clear-cut. This politicisation of the family, as it may be called, which touches not only immigrants, occurs on many levels, and in different intercon- nected locations in Europe and across the globe. It may be observed at the United Nations and in the array of international organisations con- cerned with human rights, especially the rights of women and children (born and unborn), as well as in transnational religious organisations such as the Catholic Church or (in a different way) the Muslim um- mah. It is apparent in debates within the European Union and its con- stituent nation-states, and within local states and their institutions (health, social services, housing, etc.). The contested nature of families and everyday familial practices also appears in arguments (sometimes their resolution) in migrant and minority ethnic communities, associa- tions, and neighbourhoods, and within households and networks of re- lations which may, in an era of transnational migration, be widely dis- persed across geographical and socio-cultural space, linking members perhaps located – and this would not be especially unusual among Sikhs, for example – in Punjab, the United Kingdom, Canada, Austra- lia, and East Africa.

Grillo, one of the most important white cultivars in Sicily, was ascertained to be an offspring of Catarratto Comune and Zibibbo, the same parents which Mendola claimed he used to obtain Moscato Cerletti. Thus the hypothesis of synonymy between Moscato Cerletti and Grillo or the same parentage for both sets of parents needs to be verified.

  • The Balkan Vlachs/Aromanians Awakening, National Policies, Assimilation Miroslav Ruzica Preface the Collapse of Communism, and E
    The Balkan Vlachs/Aromanians Awakening, National Policies, Assimilation Miroslav Ruzica Preface The collapse of communism, and especially the EU human rights and minority policy programs, have recently re-opened the ‘Vlach/Aromanian question’ in the Balkans. The EC’s Report on Aromanians (ADOC 7728) and its separate Recommendation 1333 have become the framework for the Vlachs/Aromanians throughout the region and in the diaspora to start creating programs and networks, and to advocate and shape their ethnic, cultural, and linguistic identity and rights.1 The Vlach/Aromanian revival has brought a lot of new and reopened some old controversies. A increasing number of their leaders in Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Albania advocate that the Vlachs/Aromanians are actually Romanians and that Romania is their mother country, Romanian language and orthography their standard. Such a claim has been officially supported by the Romanian establishment and scholars. The opposite claim comes from Greece and argues that Vlachs/Aromanians are Greek and of the Greek culture. Both countries have their interpretations of the Vlach origin and history and directly apply pressure to the Balkan Vlachs to accept these identities on offer, and also seek their support and political patronage. Only a minority of the Vlachs, both in the Balkans and especially in the diaspora, believes in their own identity or that their specific vernaculars should be standardized, and that their culture has its own specific elements in which even their religious practice is somehow distinct. The recent wars for Yugoslav succession have renewed some old disputes. Parts of Croatian historiography claim that the Serbs in Croatia (and Bosnia) are mainly of Vlach origin, i.e.

  • Picolit D.O.C
    PICOLIT D.O.C. COLLI ORIENTALI DEL FRIULI − Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin Sweet white wine prized of a straw yellow, delicate scent reminiscent of honey and wildflowers, taste warm, harmonious, sweet with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. GRAPES: 100% Picolit VINE: Indigenous variety from Friuli, undoubtedly ancient, already cultivated in the Roman imperial period, had the honor to delight the palates of popes and emperors. Among the admirers of Picolit, it also includes Carlo Gol doni, who defines this wine the brightest gem of Friuli wine. Vine arrived today thanks to the work of Count Fabio Asquini of Fagagna who in 1700 saved this precious vine f rom certain death. It was the same Asquini that made him known to the "foreigners" in high−prestige markets su ch as London, Paris, Genoa, Milan, Ancona. The Picolit was appreciated and consumed not only in Italy, but he found among his great admirers even the Court of France, the Papal Court and even the King of Sardinia, the E mperor of Austria and the Czar of Russia. The Picolit is characterized by very limited production due to a peculiarity in the development of the grapes that undergo a partial floral abortion, leaving the loose bunch with smaller and sweeter grapes. Today it is cultivated in the hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the provinces of Udine and Gorizia. The 2006 vintage is the first as Denomi nation of controlled and guaranteed origin and thanks to his particular value, Picolit is the second denomination of controlled and guaranteed origin of the whole Friuli Venezia Giulia.

  • Greek Language Questions
    Journal of Greek Linguistics 11 (2011) 249–257 brill.nl/jgl Review Article Doing without the Fez: Greek Language Questions Christopher Gerard Brown Th e Ohio State University [email protected] Abstract Th is defi nitive history of the Greek Language Controversy shows how Greek’s status as a prestige language galvanized a national movement attracting various ethnicities of the Millet-i rum . Th e status of classical Greek resonant in Adamantios Korais’s katharévousa helped consolidate the Greek state. An alternate demoticist programme, anticipated by Katartzis, developed in the Ionian Islands, and formulated by Psycharis, took hold through the eff orts of the Educational Demoticists. Standard Modern Greek is a synthesis of the two programmes—neither the phono- logically puristic Romaika of Psycharis nor an archaizing Schriftsprache, it retains elements of both. Keywords Diglossia , katharévousa , purism , Korais , Psycharis , sociolinguistics , Language Question , Language Controversy Peter Mackridge. Language and National Identity in Greece , 1766–1976 . Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2009. Since 1976 the Language Question that agitated the Greek-speaking world for some two hundred years is history, and in Peter Mackridge it has found its historian. Th e Language Controversy, as Mackridge translates the Greek το γλωσσικό ζήτημα, was a debate about nature of the Greek language, its historicity and perennity. Both sides wanted a standard national language to symbolize the continuity of Hellenism, a patent of succession to the prestige and authority of classical antiquity. Partisans of the puristic Schriftsprache sought to teach and improve a fallen people, to restore lost continuity and make them worthy of their heritage.
