RISULTATI RICERCA

Il contributo discute lo stato attuale della letteratura statunitense sui meccanismi culturali nella ricerca sui neighborhood effects. In primo luogo si definisce cosa si intende per effetto quartiere e per meccanismi culturali. Si passa poi in rassegna e si fornisce un’analisi critica di due prospettive teoriche sul contesto culturale dei quartieri svantaggiati che sono esplicitamente integrate nella recente letteratura sui neighborhood effects negli Stati Uniti: la prospettiva della "subcultura deviante" e quella della "eterogeneità culturale". Gli autori hanno poi attinto dalla letteratura americana sugli studi urbani, dalla sociologia culturale su cultura e diseguaglianza per proporre alcune concettualizzazioni che possono rivelarsi utili nell’accrescere la comprensione del ruolo della cultura nei neighborhood effects. Infine si discutono le questioni concettuali e metodologiche che dovranno essere affrontate per un avanzamento delle riflessioni sul tema e si conclude offrendo proposte concrete, sia a breve che a lungo termine, per un’agenda di ricerca.

The paper presents analyses conducted on a corpus of doctor-patient interactions that was carried on in a outward department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in a public hospital in Italy. The corpus includes medical visits with both native and non native patients, (audio) recorded and fully transcribed according to the jeffersonian conventions (Sacks, Schegloff & Jefferson, 1974). We focus on the doctors’ strategies employed to elicit information from the patients with particular regards to the patient’s job status and the likelihood that she continues to work during pregnancy. Applying Conversation Analytic principles to the analysis of both the sequential structure and the design of the question, the authors highlights how the activity of questioning about the patient’s job includes larger sequences with non native patients as compared to native patients, in which not only the patient’s physical conditions but also her juridical status is questioned. The paper finally discusses the implications of the analyses on the doctors’ training on one hand, and on the social representation of the migrant identity on the other.

This paper develops five theses to analyze the distribution of economic, social and environmental effects connected with the system of geographical indications (gis). The authors claim that the distribution of benefits for the agricultural sector largely differentiate among European countries (Thesis 1); non-organized outsiders in the region who do not financially support the common pool resource can profit particularly greatly from a gis system (Thesis 2); among gis consortia, those with a clear marketing leadership of a focal supplier profit whereas those with many small suppliers are easier to get pressed by dominant buyers (Thesis 3); the role of public authorities may represent a significant bias in the application phase (Thesis 4) and environmental benefits attached to the gis such as biodiversity preservation are largely overestimated (Thesis 5).

In literature, cancer is accounted as an event that reconfigures many aspects of life (relations with your body, family, society, profession) and activates processes of revision of the meaning of life, suffering, illness and death. In this study are analyzed interviews with 14 women who received a diagnosis of breast cancer, with the purpose of describing how they represent the discovery of the illness and, above all, which social and cultural resources use in constructing the narration of their new condition. The analysis shows how the "Others" are present in the narrations, both explicitly (typified or imagined) and indirectly as part of cultural repertories, emphasizing how the "social" is not only what is realized through direct interactions with people (Duranti, 2010). For psychology, this allows to redefine of pertinence the investigation of psychological phenomena constructed outside the person in the complex interactions with the social and cultural world we inhabit.

Chi ha il potere di definire cos’è la vulnerabilità, la cura materna, quali sono i segnali di disagio e i modi di affrontarlo? Sulla traccia di questi interrogativi un gruppo composto da assistenti sociali, educatrici e mediatrici, accademiche e attiviste di tre Paesi europei (Italia, Romania, Spagna) ha condiviso un percorso di ricerca a partire da sé. Un testo pensato per chi lavora nei servizi sociali, educativi, in consultori familiari, comunità alloggio, centri antiviolenza e di tutela dei minori e per coloro che si formano alle professioni di cura in ambito sanitario, socio-educativo e giuridico.
