Human smuggling-Law and legislation-Italy
,
Human trafficking-Law and legislation-Italy
2019
This volume is devoted to the dark side of human mobility, that is migrant smuggling, and, linked with it, human trafficking. Both subjects will be mainly treated from an Italian perspective; however, due to their having a generally transnational character, the analysis will necessarily require that international and supranational actions/measures also be taken into account. Moreover, the legal perspective will be supplemented by the phenomenological/criminological one, through which the authors try to provide the work with a realistic dimension aimed at grasping the practical aspects of both migrant smuggling and human trafficking emerging from the different ways in which such crimes are de facto committed.

BLESSED ACTS OF OBLIVION: On the Ethics of Forgetting
2025
This essay explores the ethics of forgetting as a technology of the self. Forgetfulness is a feature of a range of contexts of political conflict and “difficult” heritage. Such forgetfulness is often imagined as an imposition (as when states deny the freedom to remember) or a weakness (as when people are thought to repress uncomfortable or difficult memories). Here, by contrast, I examine a context of difficult heritage and political conflict in which people forget some things by remembering others, and I highlight the ways in which it is often hard to disentangle the primary process. Rather than ask whether the point is what you remember or what you forget, alternative and more interesting questions are revealed, I suggest, by asking what kind of subject constitutes the ideal end result. RIASSUNTO Questo articolo esplora l'etica dell'oblio come tecnologia del sé. L'oblio è una caratteristica di una serie di contesti di conflitto politico e di “eredità difficili”. Tale oblio è spesso immaginato come un'imposizione (come quando uno stato nega la libertà di ricordare) o come una debolezza (come quando si pensa che una persona reprima ricordi scomodi o difficili). Qui, al contrario, esamino un contesto di eredità difficile e di conflitto politico in cui le persone dimenticano alcune cose ricordandone altre, e sottolineo come spesso sia difficile districare quale processo sia primario. Piuttosto che chiedersi se il punto sia ciò che si ricorda o ciò che si dimentica, suggerisco che domande alternative e più interessanti si rivelano chiedendo quale tipo di soggetto sia il risultato ideale.

New Perspectives) ha proposto importanti riflessioni sugli ideali, sull'ideologia e sulla propaganda imperiali nell’Italia del tardo medioevo. Da diversi punti di vista, cinque studiosi ne discutono nei saggi qui raccolti, anche in chiave di comparazione fra l’Italia e altre regioni dell’impero.
