The path articulated in this paper has as its background and horizon the question of hospitality. In order to propose a re-thinking of this concept and the practices related to it, in this paper an attempt will be made to analyze the phenomenology of hostility starting from the analysis of the concepts of the stranger and the foreigner, and then focusing on the concept of community in order to outline the assumptions of a philosophy of hospitality. The thesis of this work is that identity can only be defined in relation to otherness and that the latter does not come from an external dimension but from an internal dimension. In this sense, the stranger who must be welcomed is the one who is always on the verge of arriving and who in his coming always crosses the threshold, the limit that establishes the division between the inside and the outside, between the proper and the foreign.

The paper proposes a reflection on some aspects of the life and the language of Formicola, a small rural community of the province of Caserta, in northern Campania. The reflection stems from the analysis of the ethnographic and linguistic notes taken by Gerhard Rohlfs in Formicola, during the fieldwork carried out for the Sprach- und Sachatlas Italiens und der Südschweiz in 1925. The consultation of this archive material (including photographs and drawings) allows to get some useful information both on the theoretical approach to linguistic investigation applied by the German researcher and on his adventure as fieldworker in rural communities of southern Italy. In addition, these notes offer the occasion to reflect on some Italian and dialectal lexical items. In fact, the paper contains an examination of the locution a staglio (‘paid by the unit’), emerged in Formicola during Rohlfs’ investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is part of a research on the evaluation of participatory practices and engagement activities of the donors of the Distance Support Service (DSS) of the Association Famiglie Nuove (Afn) Onlus. The theoretical framework of the survey is based on the Positive Thinking Approaches, a family of approaches that have in common the idea that «we learn more from success than from failure». In this direction, the use of an evaluative perspective open to the «discovery» of successes, aimed at identifying the main changes in the DSS sector (such as relational proximity and openness towards the educational community), made it possible to build the steps of the research in a participated way, by interacting the needs of the operators with the needs for change expressed by the donors involved in the survey.

The works of Elias, characterised by his unique relational and processual gaze, have recently inspired much research in the migration field. In particular, the established-outsiders figuration has opened a fruitful way to overcome the tendency of naturalising cultural and economic differences, hiding the power relations between different groups. The objective of this paper is to apply the figurational framework to the study of the Tunisian community living in Modena (Northern Italy). The originality of the study resides in the choice of a particular figuration in which three interdependent groups are present: the Italian autochthones, the elder Tunisian community and the new group of Tunisians arrived after 2011. Following the process of establishment of the elder part of the Tunisian community we observe how a structural change in the figuration (as the arrival of a new group of Tunisian people) had deep social and symbolic consequences, hindering the integration of the old Tunisians in the Modenese context. The study marks an advancement in the application of the established-outsiders figuration in migration studies and constitutes a valid example for analysing the integration of increasingly older migrant communities in Italy.

Caucasian diaspora was formed when refugees came from their native lands in Northern and South-western Caucasus, as a consequence of the extermination and expulsion policies that were implemented by the Tsarist Empire. In the last decades of the Ottoman Empire, displaced Caucasians not only represented a considerable proportion of the Muslim population in Anatolia, but also came to occupy a large part of the Ottoman state apparatus, especially in the army. This paper provides due preliminary information on this scarcely known topic that pertains to millions of people in modern-day Turkey, the majority of which are Circassians. During WWI, individuals and communities from the Caucasus acted as loyal and willing Ottoman Muslims, but, at the same time, they strove to return to their lost native lands. Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire and the Mudros truce, many Caucasians had a prominent role in the “Turkish national struggle”, but were reluctant to abandon the irredentist perspective; many others joined the loyalist, anti-nationalist camp and it was a Circassian, the Circassian par excellence, Ethem Dipsheu, who openly challenged Mustafa Kemal’s leadership inside the nationalist movement. Before the foundation of the Republic, some Circassian communities who had reportedly committed betrayal were punished with deportation from the Marmara Sea region to Eastern Anatolia. In this way Mustafa Kemal warned both the powerful Caucasian lobby inside the establishment and the whole population of the “new Turkey”: nothing other than complete commitment to the Turkish nation would be accepted and the expression of separate identities would be totally forbidden. Hence, the Circassians were the first victims of the Kemalist regime’s massive repression. With few exceptions, the Caucasians bowed their heads, whereas many Kurds did not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is some good, though limited, evidence of community space in northern Iberia in the later tenth century. These are the spatial zones which were defined by the remit of local meetings at which business was transacted. There is no evidence that court cases were heard at such meetings. Rather, court cases were held at places associated with kings, places associated with powerful landowners and churches. All of these places were used by their own proper communities whereas for court cases they were used by a temporary judicial community that was convened to deal with a case. As ever, communities were multiple and overlapping and community space could be used by different communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims to approach the theme of the progress of the Turkish brigades into the Byzantine territories, in particular the Mount Athos, during the fourteenth century. It provides a new perspective for this topic. Indeed, it focuses on the hagiographical sources and how they describe the reaction of the Athonite monks in front of this phenomenon. The sources have been set according to a thematic order: 1) cases of escape from the Holy Mountain after the Turkish raids; 2) reports of or from captivity; 3) the consequences of the Turkish progress into the Asiatic and Western provinces of the Byzantine Empire; 4) the psychological impact on the monastic communities of Athos, and finally 5) the relationship between Athonite monks and Islamic communities in the Holy Land as favorite pilgrimage destination. The perception of the violence of the Turkish troops forces the Athonite communities to a general reconsideration of lifestyle and of ascetical practices. Moreover, it indirectly causes the propagation of the hesychast lifestyle out of the borders of the Holy Mountain during the late Byzantine period. Out of fear for the Islamic enemies the hagiographers take the opportunity to praise the ethical qualities of their monastic champions. On the other hand, in these sources they do not deal with Islamic morals; the violence of the enemies is the unique theme they consider as a priori distinguished feature of Muhammed's followers.

The objective of this study is to retrace, through the works of the Sacred Economic Congregation, the two visions regarding the modalities of appropriation of the goods that have been at the root of the political and legal discussions on ownership during the nineteenth century: on the one hand, the medieval voice, which is the expression of a legal mentality that gives to the community a central role; on the other hand, the "modern mentality", which mainly attributes to the individual the direct and absolute power to affect the res.

Climate change has been accelerating, and this has been causing an increase of the number of intensity of its impacts on communities, including on their health. This link between climate change and health, a theme that we have named "pathoclima" (a neologism of the authors), an amplification of pathologies due to the increasing impact of climate change on society and the environment, is the subject of this contribution. Firstly, we present an analysis of the state of the climate and its impact on some respiratory, neurodegenerative, and mental health diseases. Then, we discuss some of the main conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, and finally, we suggest that only through a transdisciplinary approach can we achieve the goal of zero net emissions by 2050. Only following a transdisciplinary approach, we could address climate change taking into account also all biological and sociological aspects of the problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses and analyses the processes that are producing a progressive strain on social ties, the impoverishment of solidarity relationships and the breakdown of the community spirit. The transformations that the world is experiencing have a significant impact on the public policies and social structure and are producing increased processes of social exclusion. Social exclusion is here referred to the structure of social relationship and social ties that reveals the mechanism causing marginalization and the processes associate with it. In post-modernity, as a result of processes of globalization processes and social and economic crisis, the social ties have become more fragile, and they are affecting the stability of society. Solidarity, common values, and a sense of community belonging keep society united by legitimising social institutions to carry out their function and providing citizens with ways of learning (and exercising) rights and duties. The strain on the social ties, which in turn produces new forms of personal and collective instability, also highlights a progressive disappearance of public and social spaces, it seems as if social fora, communication and inclusive communities are going through a radical crisis. The article presents the first results of a social inquiry carried out in four Italian cities through a psycho-social approach named Listening Post. This research's aim is to explore and understand (i) the underlying dynamics of the strained social ties are under, (ii) the impact of these dynamics on individual and collective action, (iii) the experiences of "counter-movement" as a process of bottom-up mobilization for social creativity and innovation.

The transformation of law from an anthropological shape of habits, traditions, beliefs on a local community scale to a much more logical, abstract, formal, deductible, general and artificial conception of law is one of the mirrors through which globalization emerges. To be very simple: community law is much more a matter of socio-anthropological habits of which local moral values affect law making, on the contrary the abstract general, artificial conception of law is aimed at making law among social sciences what mathematics is among natural ns: a kind of formal and cross disciplinary language. In the globalization process the transformation is rather clear on a epistemological level but applied legal practice the different branches of law are more and more turning into mathematics the more global the world order evolves. Company law, Taxation law, Health Law, trade Law, intellectual Property Law, etc. are among the others more and more "mathematical" also through the efforts of OECD, WTO; WIPO WTO nevertheless criminal law still remains rather anthropological and it is an important problem setting for the institutional designers whose job on the criminal law side is to find some global alignment tool and exemplary case. Prescription in criminal law can be an interesting example as it is also an indicator of the decision making speed of courts which is, for example, a key criterion for the European Union which use Justice policy is about assessing how the local administrations of justice manage it.
