Literacy is a complex notion that cannot be reduced to a dichotomy (literate / non-literate). In this paper we discuss the notion of literacy and we distinguish it from the Italian term alfabetizzazione, which is more based on schooling and reveals to be only partially reliable. We consider various national and international surveys which have been developed to measure the levels of literacy in world population so that results can be now compared and correlated with other development factors. The analysis of international surveys is the necessary milestone for increasing and improving educational policies in the world. In international surveys of this century, Italy has ranked among the states with the lowest literacy rates. It is, therefore, necessary to start from this framework and from the worrying persistence of adult functional illiterates in Italy to renew the commitment of the institutions in order to promote and increase literacy in our country.

The paper aims to study the current transformations in trade union action by focusing on the meat processing industry in Italy, a sector characterized by a high share of atypical and subcontracted labour. Based on qualitative data collected inside two plants, the paper addresses the processes of labour force segmentation, according to axes such as employment contracts, workers’ nationality, skin colour and gender. Secondly, the paper analyses trade unions’ strategies to cope with these labour force fragmentations. By looking at the nexus between labour process and forms of organization, the paper singles out three approaches. These approaches, underpinned by unions’ understanding of labour market restructuring, epitomize different strategies to organize and mobilize labour. In conclusion, we argue that these conflicting approaches, although oriented towards enlarging unions’ membership and representativeness, actually embed, and thus contribute to strengthen, labour force segmentations in workplaces.

In the last twenty years the Locally Unwanted Land Use (LULU) protests have grown across Italy by putting scholars in front of new questions about the dynamics of local mobilization which have often led them to focus on the political-institutional context as pivotal variable to explain the conflict. By starting from this assumption, this paper aims at observing, on the one hand, the transformations of political context (the arise and decline of Movimento 5 Stelle, the centralization of power related to territories management, the tightening of repression, etc.) that have produced a Political Opportunity Structure unfavourable for LULU mobilization and, on the other hand, the feedback of local actors and their reorganization in terms of frame and strategies. While paying attention to structural dynamics, this paper investigates the role that the cultural-discursive context and the local actors' framing processes play in mobilization. With this aim, the contribute takes in consideration the spreading of new environmental movements - as Fridays for Future - and the discursive and political opportunities that these can produce also for the local campaigns here analysed. The research is been conducted by comparing three LULU campaigns (No Grandi Navi, No Cave, No TAP) and by using a qualitative approach mainly based on in-depth interviews with actors of the conflict and on the analysis of documents that they have produced.

Over the last fifteen years, and especially following the economic crisis, the Southern European states have introduced a large number of reforms, on the one hand, to increase their competitiveness and encourage economic development and, on the other, to rationalize the «state's side» of the welfare state, so as to reduce their public spending, as required by the austerity policies. Justice is certainly one of the state sectors which has been deeply impacted by the reforms adopted in response to the influences exercised by European Council, Commission's Directorate-general for competition, Troika, European Court of Human Rights, and European judicial networks. The paper, which focuses on labour justice in Portugal, Spain, and Italy, analyses, from a quantitative point of view, the effects of this long «season of reforms» both at the macro (national) and meso level (judicial districts). This choice is driven by the desire to compare three states characterized by a high internal and external independence of the judiciary -- the so-called Southern European Model -- and, at the same time, to highlight the impact of different levels of organizational autonomy enjoyed by the local territories. The fundamental hypothesis of this paper is that the reforms introduced in recent years -- both on the supply and demand side of justice -- have, on the whole, increased the efficiency of the judicial systems, but have not been able to reduce the inequalities, in terms of citizens' opportunities to access to justice. The article, which fills a gap in the literature on these topics, discusses the variables that may explain the persistence of the territorial differences and proposes to re-define the very way of conceiving and practicing the governance not only of the justice systems, but of all the public structures.

Young people in European countries are facing increased insecurity on the labour market, given the widespreadness of flexibilisation process, having lost the safety net provided by welfare state that has characterized the generation of their parents. The way this process is enacted varies across countries: in literature is well know how institutional filters such as labour market regulation and welfare system mediate the impact of flexibilisation, shaping the opportunities context for individual decisions. This leads to consequences non only in the present, but also in the mediumterm, shaping the opportunities and the representations of young people. In our paper we intend to consider in the institutional setting also the financial system. We take into account the level of inclusion of the banking system, with particular attention to the access to credit. We have focused the credit risk assessment models used by banks in a given system, and the way by which the type of contract is assessed in the different systems: while some country are more inclusive, other are characterized by denying the credit access to atypical workers. The possibilities to fall into debts, and specifically the devices proposed by banks to do it, are a factor that shape not only the opportunities, the strategies and the risk of vulnerability of young people facing job and income insecurity, but also their representations of opportunities and risks about their future. In this paper, the individual strategies, as well as individual meanings, feelings and representations are analysed with semi-structured interviews to 50 young people facing job insecurity in Italy, a country characterized by a low credit access. The analysis comes from Except project -- Horizon 2020 program, lasting three years (2015-2018), aimed to highlight the point of view of young people who are experiencing precariousness.

Focusing on olive oil sector in central Italy, this paper proposes a decision support system for olive growers in order to: i) identify the optimal crop management in the hypothesis of maximizing gross farm income and maximizing a landscape integrity index; ii) simulate the effects of different policy and market scenarios. Results from multi-objective integer optimization models showed that the solution obtained by maximizing the gross income foresees the intensive crop management and the complete allocation of the farm area to newly planted olive groves. The traditional crop management is chosen when the landscape integrity index is maximized. However, only a 30% increase of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil price from ancient and traditionally managed olive groves could ensure their complete maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Human Rights Council is a subsidiary body of the General Assembly of the United Nations, in charge of promoting worldwide the respect and protection of the rights of every man without any discrimination. In 2018 Italy, which had already been member of the Council twice, has been reelected and will be a member until 2021. At the time of its candidacy, Italy presented a document of commitments - entitled "Voluntary pledges and commitments pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/251" - in which a series of priority themes were listed. Among them, a focus on "the rights of persons with disabilities" was included. Starting from this circumstance, the aim of this paper is to scrutinize the recent action of the Human Rights Council dealing with the rights of persons with disabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of the Nineteenth century, during the Second International, the debate on socialism and on the Marxist theory in Italy involved several thinkers and economists of different leanings. It is remarkable that the liberal economist Vilfredo Pareto considered Benedetto Croce as a «socialist» thinker. In order to analyse the meaning of this statement, this paper investigates: what socialism was a few years after the birth of the Socialist Italian Party; the peculiar historical-cultural period in Italy; and whether Croce can actually be defined as a socialist. All these issues are discussed in the light of Croce's early essays on Marx (1896-1897). As a result, the special character of the Italian socialism emerges: the opposition Labriola-Turati and Engels-Loria; the dispute on Marx's labour-theory of value; and the curious disposition of the official organs of the Italian socialism towards the third volume of Das Kapital edited by Engels.

This paper aims to analyze the Italian law on medically assisted procreation (Law n. 40 of 2004) and particularly the prohibition of surrogacy under Article 12. This procedure is in fact prohibited in Italy's legal system; anyway, there have been cases in which many couples (heterosexual and homosexual) went to the States where this practice is allowed to access the procedure, in violation of the limitation of international public order. In this context, there is the problem of the legal recognition of the foreign birth certificate. However, the issue of surrogacy raises a series of problems relating to the legal qualification of the interested parties, also in consideration of the necessity to respect the relationship of parent with the child.

In the early decades of the twentieth century, the affirmation of children's literature as a kind of popular entertainment was facilitated in Italy both through books that enjoyed a wide readership and through stories and novels published in episodes in magazines of the time. My paper, by means of significant examples, offers some reflections on the use of recurrent personal names and common onomastic strategies in various authors, also in the light of the great inspiring models of the late-nineteenth-century fantasy-adventure genre.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the famous American dwarf, Charles Stratton, called Tom Thumb, toured Europe with the theatrical show organized for him by Phineas Barnum, enjoying international success and fame. His name, changed to Tom Pouce, became synonymous in Italy with a 'very small person or thing': a frequently repeated antonomasia, with phonetic and graphic adaptations of the nickname. This paper aims to show the significance and repeated testimonies of this artistic name in the newspapers and books of the time, until its definitive lexicographic attestation.

These papers reconstruct, from a critical and historical point of view, the facts and the ideologies that were present in Italy because of Church, between Pius IX and Pius X. For example: Catholic liberalism, State of law, Catholic socialisms, Trade-unionism, Sturzo, Meda, Labriola and Croce. The conclusion: in the first years of Giolitti government, the clerical idea of a State without laicism will be only a dream. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents some research hypotheses on the Italian coercive prevention apparatus through the sociological qualitative analysis of a sample of special surveillance orders, providing the theoretical keys to analyse that apparatus and the specific measures taken in consideration. This is a discretely theoretically deepened field of research, but one that proves, at least in Italy, to be little accessible to empirical socio-legal research. The aim is to hypothesize the functions and potential effects of this institutional intervention. The reflection leads to bring back to the center concepts and categories that only seemingly belong to the past and indeed innervate control practices, especially preventive ones. I refer to the policies of social defense and social alarm, aimed at the continuous identification between deviance and threat, disorder and social danger. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I'trying to show that there is a relationship between rock art, a site where rock art is placed and the wider landscape, articulated according to the Camunian "mindscape" in Valcamonica, Italy. In particular, I believe rock art may be regarded, making Lødøen's felicitous phrase my own, as a 'consumption of souls' within an animistic understanding of the world. I think the importance of mining copper and iron in relation to petroglyphs in Valcamonica has been underestimated so far, and I have tried to show its strong symbolic relationships. I believe I have made quite clear the symbolical connections between a certain type of landscape, a gulch with a strong hydrocentric focus, thundering noises, mining, metallurgy and deer, thanks to linguistic analysis, which shows how the same kind of landscape and similar mythologies can be found over an extremely wide territory. We do not know what the religious beliefs of the ancient Camunians were, similarities with neighboring populations aside, but linguistic analysis, anthropological as well as archaeological comparison and the study of both local folklore and archaic Aegean beliefs, allows us to hypothesize a more detailed picture of the Camunian thought in the Iron Age.

The paper summarises the basic features of the longstanding debate between authors maintaining the persistence of social classes in contemporary advanced societies and the authors stating, on the contrary, that social inequalities are deeply fragmented or even individualised. Then, it outlines the reasons why this debate should be taken again by Italian social scientists. Subsequently, the article shortly sets out the basic theoretical foundations of the concept of classes and the main features of the multidimensional typology of the Italian social stratification recently drawn out by ISTAT. In light of analytical considerations and empirical evidences, it is argued that this typology and, more generally, all those of the same kind display a very weak, if any, criterion validity. A comparison between ESEC class scheme and ISTAT typology regarding the capacity of accounting for inequalities in family disposable incomes, in probabilities of being in severe material deprivation (sensu Eurostat), and in unemployment incidence rates, is then carried out. By resorting to different (OLS, logit and Poisson) regression models, the paper shows that the class scheme has a greater and sounder construct validity than ISTAT typology and that the former allows to measure the individual effects of possible factor of inequalities different from social classes, while the latter structurally impedes to do that. The article closes suggesting that the thesis of the crystallization of important inequalities around social classes still represents a rather sound research hypothesis, at least in the case of Italy.

The so-called 'New York Goose Vase' is a red-figure calyx krater produced in Southern Italy around the end of the fifth or the beginning of the fourth century BC, and now in the Metropolitan Museum. It shows a theatrical scene, evidently related to Attic comedy, as is apparent from the presence of a stage and three 'comic' characters: an old woman, on the stage, stretching out her right hand; an old man in the center standing on tip-toe with his hands above his head; and a young, unbearded man holding his rod in a seemingly threatening manner. All of them have words coming out of their mouths, in a convention not unlike that of modern cartoon bubbles. They are speaking Attic Greek, except that the young man is saying something unintelligible (noraretteblo). This paper aims to offer an in-depth, up-dated analysis of the vase, which represents important evidence for actors in fifth/fourth-century Attic comedy playing foreign characters and speaking 'barbarian' languages (like the Persian Pseudartabas in Aristophanes' Acharnians and the Triballian god in Aristophanes' Birds; the Skythian archer in Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae speaks a garbled pidgin Greek, not examined in this paper [see now the excellent book of Di Bari 2013]).

In 2018 Italy, which had already been member of the Council twice, has been reelected and will be a member until 2021. At the time of its candidacy, Italy presented a document of commitments - entitled "2019-2021, Italy for the Human Rights Council Human rights for peace" - in which a series ofpriority themes were listed. Among them, a focus on "children's rights" was included. Starting from this circumstance, the aim of this paper is to scrutinize the recent action of the Human Rights Council dealing with children's rights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on processes of social inclusion/exclusion of four different Roma groups living in Apulia, in Southern Italy: a) Italian Roma living in some municipalities in the province of Lecce; b) Roma Xoraxane currently residing in a settlement ("Campo Sosta") in Lecce; c) some romanian Roma living in emergency housing conditions in Lecce; d) a group of Bulgarian Roma employed in seasonal agricultural work in the province of Foggia, under exploitative conditions. The essay aims to highlight the way in which the inclusion/exclusion conditions are politically and socially constructed, affecting different Roma groups present on the same territory. Starting from such cases, the paper inquires into the possible influence of policies-making, processes of social interaction and socio-economic changes on social and territorial inclusion/exclusion of different Roma groups.

After the end of WWII, Dodecanese was set by the British Army. The Italian administration, that collaborated with the Wehrmacht after September 1943, was arrested and deported. Only very few people were allowed to stay and work for the British Military Administration. Among them, the former Podestà of Rhodes, Antonio Macchi, and the sergeant of the Carabinieri Francesco Corletti, who tried to destroy - in collaboration with the Italian government - the most compromising Italian documents, hiding the misdeeds of the past regime. Although they stated, that they had burned the most relevant documents, recent archival discoveries lead us to doubt their words. In 2013 a small group of scholars from Greece and Italy brought to light the important archive of the Royal Carabinieri Group - Special Central Office, hosted for all these years within the Rhodes police station. Founded in 1932, the archive preserves bureaucratic certificates, such as permits and authorizations, as well as confidential reports, records of personal habits and their political views. The new archive contains about 90,000 personal files that include information of a private nature on Italians, Greeks, Turks, Jews and foreigners who lived in Rhodes and on the other islands. Since some of the documents have, in part to do with Jewish citizens, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum of Washington D.C. has expressed a large amount of interest in this archive, offering a grant in order to digitize part of it. As is shown in the paper, Corletti and Macchi over-exaggerated the level of their authorisation to access files kept within archives to Rome. For these reasons, it is difficult to state exactly, what had been destroyed by Macchi and Corletti in 1945-1947. Actually, the fact that they weren't able to touch any important paper from the former Italian administration is more than a suspicion. At the same time, one can underline the attitude of the new democratic Italy, that appears complicit in trying to cover events and misdeeds of the Fascist Regime in Dodecanese.

The paper offers a critical edition of the well-known Testamento de Roger a transcription made by M. J. Quintana from a parchment stored until at the beginning of the XIX century at the archive of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Santes Creus (Aiguamúrcia, Catalonia). The transcription is a will in a solemn form signed by the admiral Roger of Lauria (Kingdom of Sicily, 1245/1250 ca - Valencia, on 17th January 1305), his witnesses and the notary, Michael Gasol, at Lerida, on 10th September 1291. The paper discusses the formal characteristics of the document and finally defines it like a simple instrumentum with which Roger of Lauria commits his body after the death to the monastery. The paper continues with an analysis of the contents in relation to the medieval practice of the commitments for the soul ante mortem and to the historical context that is the War of the Sicilian Vespers (from 1282 to 1302).

Can delays in naturalization be a form of claim against a restrictive citizenship regime? The article addresses this question by exploring the life and citizenship trajectories of long-term Peruvian residents in Italy. Using the concept of denizen status, the analysis reconstructs how naturalization does not imply an acceptance of the inclusion model at its base and shows the multifaceted weight of the status of citizen for those who is ready to step on the threshold of citizenship. The paper contributes to the debate on how migration and the related forms of substantive citizenship expose the contradictions of regimes based on a regulatory logic and indicate possible ways of reform.
