The church and the temple
In this article I draw on ethnographic research among Sri Lankans in the southern Italian region of Sicily. There, a conspicuous Sinhala community (mostly Catholics) has established itself since the Eighties. Focusing particularly on Sinhala Catholics living in Messina, I un-pack the entanglements of heritage and religion in two interconnected case-studies. On the one hand, I discuss the complex and multifaceted relations between Sinhala Catholic…
In His image
In this article, I examine the fluctuations of the moral connotations attributed to migrants’ subjectivity in the Sicilian city of Messina (Southern Italy), where the Catholic Church represents an active and powerful institution grappling with Catholic-faith migrant groups – particularly Sri Lankans, who constitute a significant non-EU foreign group in the region. If Sri Lankans living in Messina (the majority of whom are Catholic and Sinhalese) …
I santi degli altri. Devozione, mutamento e rituali tra i singalesi cattolici a Messina
In questo articolo esamino il mutamento, innescato dall’esperienza della mobilità transnazionale, cui riti e pratiche devozionali attivati dai singalesi cattolici nella città di Messina vanno incontro mediante l’inclusione di figure sante conosciute e introdotte nei repertori devozionali in seguito alla migrazione. Da questa prospettiva, i processi di costruzione della santità alla base di tali costellazioni rituali, utili per una riflessione sul…
Waiting for Utopia
In this article I consider the connection between Islam and utopia, using the renewed visibility that Islamic actors and moral economies have gained in the post-revolutionary Tunisian public sphere as a starting point. In particular, based on ethnographic findings from field research in Tunisia, I take into account the interest in Salafism expressed by young Muslims, recently fascinated by the Salafi tradition even if not necessarily joining any …
Jeunes tunisiens et processus de subjectivation politique
La thèse de doctorat en ethno-anthropologie que j’ai soutenue en février 2020 à l’Université « La Sapienza » de Rome a pour objet l’étude des processus de subjectivation politique qui en Tunisie sont nés au cours de la saison post révolutionnaire, tout en se concrétisant à partir des nouvelles économies morales et des formules d’expression critique qui échappent aux canaux et aux expressions ordinaires de la politique. Tout en gardant à l’esprit …
Challenging hegemony, imaging alternatives. Everyday youth discourses and practices of resistance in contemporary Tunisia
Recent Maghreb conflicts and social transformation have shown the existence of disputes and complex negotiations over the moral economies that, in the national public consciousness, mobilise common adherence to norms and values. In this paper, I will consider the urban context of Tunis. Through an ethnography conducted among young Tunisians of middle and working classes (most of them having interrupted their advanced studies) I propose to find th…
Decir y Callar
Este libro aborda las inequidades que se construyen a partir de diferenciaciones en torno al lenguaje en la Universidad Nacional San Antonio de Abad en el Cusco y en la Universidad Nacional San Cristóbal de Huamanga en Ayacucho. Se estudian las problemáticas del motoseo, del uso del quechua y de la escritura académica para demostrar como todas ellas sirven de base para generar graves exclusiones en el entorno universitario
