Displacement of Death from Home to Hospital in Historical Perspective
The process of changing the location of death from home to hospital in Italy between 1883 and 2013 occurred as part of a wider, century-long shift in the attitude toward death in Western societies. A longitudinal analysis of data collected in Italian provinces, using random intercept models, reveals the extent to which the displacement of death was the result of demographical, socio-structural, and cultural processes and the extent to which the i…
Fuori controllo? Miti e realtà dell'immigrazione in Italia
Invariabilmente liquidate dagli uni come lassiste, dagli altri come liberticide, in Italia le misure di controllo dell'immigrazione sono oggetto di opposte mitologie a fini di battaglia politica. Ma dalla Turco-Napolitano alla Bossi-Fini c'è stata, di fatto, una sostanziale continuità nella gestione dell'immigrazione, affidata soprattutto a sanatorie che sono prassi generalizzata anche nel resto d'Europa. La novità maggiore degli ultimi anni l'in…
The flows and the flood
Since the start of the debate on immigration in Italy there has been considerable interest in analysing the ways in which the public discourse on immigration has changed over time. This article examines the changes that have taken place in the period from 1969 to 2001. It is based on systematic study of the principal weekly news magazines (1969–1981) and on the daily press (1982–2001). It demonstrates significant changes in the ways in which immi…
Italian immigration
This article reconstructs the historical development of foreign settlement in Italy. It shows how Italy is part of a number of different migratory patterns, some of which are interconnected, while others are quite strongly differentiated. This diversity means that the standard images that link Italian immigration with a high degree of social marginalization do not correspond to the more complex realities, and by focusing on short-term aspects sim…
Hope and despair
This article presents the results of research conducted in Milan in 1993 and 1994, collecting life stories among Algerian immigrants involved in petty crimes such as shoplifting and pickpocketing. Against a broad picture of the presence of crime among foreigners in Italy based on official sources, the article reconstructs the social and familial contexts of the immigrants interviewed, analyzes the ways they arrived and settled, and why they chose…
