Decolonizing moana stomachs: Recipes for food sovereignty from Oceania
Colonialism, militarization and contemporary corporate food regimes have eroded the food sovereignty of the populations of Oceania. Such phenomenon named gastro-colonialism, has not only shaped local foodways with tinned and processed food, building a taste for it, but also made islands dependent from external food provisioning. In order to stress the relevance of the food sovereignty paradigm as a new arena for the emergence of collective action…
Dipendenza e sovranità alimentare nelle isole d’Oceania: Voci Di Contrasto Al Gastro-Colonialismo
Il contributo analizza, attraverso una prospettiva isolana ed ecotonale, la persistenza della dipendenza alimentare degli arcipelaghi d’Oceania e il fiorire di eterogenee spinte emancipatorie che propongono un modello che consenta ai propri abitanti di decidere del proprio cibo, sistemi di produzione e approvvigionamento. Dopo un approfondimento del processo di colonizzazione gastronomica del continente liquido – iniziato con gli europei, portato…
Feeding genders: Introduction
Juliet comes from Nigeria and has been living in Italy for the past 20 years. “Where I come from, a woman who does not know how to cook cannot get married”, she told me (Mauriello) when we first met during my fieldwork in Naples. Stories told by migrant women from other sub-Saharan African regions that I (Mauriello) collected in recent years describe mothers who “test” their daughters about their cooking abilities to see whether they can prepare …

Farsi casa attraverso le pratiche alimentari. Voci di richiedenti asilo, operatori e operatrici nelle province di Cuneo e Lecco
Il cibo influenza il modo in cui le persone si relazionano allo spazio e fanno casa. Attraverso la costruzione di una competenza culinaria, i migranti danno senso alle nuove situazioni, tra memoria e adattamenti alle grammatiche alimentari dei con-testi di accoglienza. Nell'articolo si intrecciano le voci di richiedenti asilo e rifugiati con quelle di operatrici e operatori. Proponiamo una visione interdisciplinare delle pratiche alimentari all'i…
Vertical mobility’. Migrants’ trajectories within/between the western Alps and southern Italy
In the past twenty years a renewed trend of migration has flown into the Italian Alps, inverting the out-migration trend. New mountain dwellers, a heterogeneous population ranging from former urban residents who chose to inhabit highlands, to asylum seekers forced into a highland life while waiting for their documents, have adjusted to the socio-ecological environment which imposes mobility. The contribution analyses in the first place the twofol…

Obesity "epidemic" in the Kingdom of Tonga: Critical notes on the "right" body size
In a worldwide obesity pandemic, where a growing number of people all over the world are classified as obese, the fight against obesity has become an international priority. Large funds, numbers of projects and international guidelines for global policies are reaching as far as the South Pacific. This area indeed seems to concentrate the world's fattest and an obesity epidemic has been declared. Relying on her own fieldwork in the Kingdom of Tong…
The Age of Anxiety: Stones, Feathers and Re-institutionalization
Although the value of the Italian psychiatric reform is widely acknowledged and hotly contested, a meticulous comment on its roots and progress is required. This paper attempts to examine the current state of mental health services in Italy and emphasizes Franco Basaglia's writings. The aim of the paper is to: (1) respond to the challenge of providing adequate and human rights-based mental health services, (2) contrast the new Italian tendency of…
