Un frammento di un colloquio viene qui esposto ed esplicitate lungo il continuum del processo terapeutico e del legame tra professionista e paziente: in particolare, il nucleo dell’indagine è costituito dall’analisi dei concetti funzionali di accoglienza e alleanza, analisi finalizzata al riesame di modalità, legami e obiettivi. L’originalità del lavoro, infatti, si rivela nell’analisi del sistema di linguaggio entro il quale prendono forma le figure dell’eloquio. Le ripetizioni e la loro funzione semantica, l’ambiguità e la vaghezza come elementi dell’approssimazione di senso e altri fenomeni dell’intenzione comunicativa sono indicatori dell’interazione tra l’organismo e l’ambiente che gli autori curano, nel tentativo di illustrare un diverso cammino di autorealizzazione, in cui il disagio possa apparire nelle forme della consapevolezza.

More than a year after the Moscow government's invasion of Ukraine, it seemed necessary to initiate a study to investigate how the New Arrivals in Italy (NAI) reception practices were implemented by Italian schools in the school year 2021/2022, following the emergency. The definition of the research theoretical framework focus on the concepts of emergency and interculture, intended as continuous processes of re-adaptation and re-organization. The data highlight the strengths and weaknesses found by the school in the reception process. The data collected about the effectiveness of the actions carried out by the school relates to what is desired and prescribed by ministerial documents. It emerges the need for a pedagogical system for the management of reception in emergency, in a circular perspective that is reflected in the theory-practice-theory nexus. L’accoglienza dei Neo Arrivati in Italia in fuga dalla guerra. Uno studio sulle pratiche adottate dalle scuole. A più di un anno dall’invasione dell’Ucraina da parte del governo di Mosca, si è sentita la necessità di avviare uno studio per indagare quali sono state le pratiche di accoglienza dei New Arrivals in Italy (NAI) messe in atto dalle scuole italiane nell’a. s. 2021/2022 a seguito dell’emergenza. La definizione del quadro teorico della ricerca ruota intorno ai concetti di emergenza e intercultura intesi come processi continui di ri-adattamento e ri-organizzazione. I dati mettono in luce i punti di forza e le criticità riscontrate dalla scuola nel processo di accoglienza. Si mettono in relazione i dati raccolti in merito all’efficacia delle azioni svolte dalla scuola con quanto auspicato e prescritto dai documenti ministeriali. Emerge la necessità di un dispositivo pedagogico per la gestione dell’accoglienza in emergenza, in un’ottica circolare che trovi riscontro nel nesso teoria-prassi-teoria.

Reception by Catholic ministers of non-Catholic Orientals who do not benefit from ordinary pastoral care, bearing in mind the conciliar decree Unitatis redintegratio, the Ecumenical Directory of 1993, the Codex Iuris Canonici of 1983, the Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium of 1990, the Vademecum per la Pastorale delle Parrocchie cattoliche verso gli Orientali non cattolici of 2010 and Il Vescovo e l'unità dei cristiani: vademecum ecumenico of 2020. After the general indications, we move on to welcoming those who ask for baptism for their children, chrismation, eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, marriage. It concludes with the welcome in full communion with the catholic church. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The rise of initiatives involving small towns at risk of depopulation offers the opportunity to empirically grasp different paths “to imagine a different future”. In particular, we focus on cultural strategies: interventions drawing on symbols to fight marginalizing trends and trigger processes of local development. Such strategies are tackled by comparing two case studies: the experimentation of the Sprar model of widespread reception for refugees and asylum seekers in a small village of Calabrian Appennino (Sant’Alessio d’Aspromonte) and the variety of social and cultural initiatives that welcome fragile social groups promoted by the association Nocetum in a former agricultural village situated between the rural area Parco Agricolo Sud Milano and Milan. The heterogeneity of the selected cases will make evident two recurring mechanisms: first, the fact that associative styles and organizational cultures are in both cases the result of multiple levels of negotiation, in which local leaders are engaged in many ways to implement the reputation of their interventions; second, it will be shown the ambiguous role played by the traditional collective representations concerning the analysed local communities, thus illustrating how such representations are unavoidable conditions for anyone promoting cultural strategies in those communities. Due strategie culturali tra marginalità e accoglienza Il moltiplicarsi di iniziative civiche e sociali che coinvolgono i piccoli centri a rischio di spopolamento offre l’occasione per verificare empiricamente la tenuta e il funzionamento di diverse ipotesi “per immaginare un futuro diverso”. Particolare rilievo assumono oggi le cosiddette strategie culturali: interventi che agiscono su rappresentazioni e simboli per contrastare tendenze marginalizzanti. Il contributo presenta e discute due studi di caso: la sperimentazione del modello Sprar di accoglienza diffusa per rifugiati e richiedenti asilo in un paese dell’Aspromonte reggino (Sant’Alessio) e l’azione di contrasto al degrado promossa dall’associazione Nocetum ai confini fra Milano e un’area rurale circostante. Il dialogo fra casi tanto diversi consente di evidenziare elementi ricorrenti nell’attivazione di strategie culturali di valorizzazione locale, relative alla forma di questi interventi, non al loro contenuto. In primo luogo, il fatto che culture organizzative e stili associativi dei soggetti che promuovono le azioni studiate sono il frutto di più livelli di negoziazione, legati alla capacità di imbastire percorsi di implementazione della propria reputazione. In secondo luogo, l’analisi evidenzia l’ambiguo ruolo giocato dalle rappresentazioni di cui i territori analizzati sono tradizionalmente stati oggetto e il loro porsi come condizioni locali ineludibili per chiunque voglia promuovere processi di valorizzazione attraverso strategie culturali.

Riassunto L’articolo descrive l’esperienza di accoglienza in famiglia di titolari di protezione internazionale sperimentata a Milano a partire dal 2016. A fronte di molteplici esperienze simili, già presenti sul territorio italiano, la peculiarità dell’esperienza milanese è il coinvolgimento di quattro attori protagonisti: l’ente locale (Comune di Milano), il Terzo Settore, la società civile e il titolare di protezione internazionale. La presenza del Comune di Milano, e indirettamente del Ministero dell’Interno, finanziatore del progetto, sancisce il riconoscimento istituzionale di una prassi che fino ad oggi ricadeva soltanto sulla società civile.

Since the start of the Mediterranean refugee crisis in 2015, large numbers of migrants have been forced into the Italian accoglienza (reception) system, a muddled and ambiguous context describable as a camp. Based on our consultancy practice, we analyze the wide labeling of migrants – no matter their age, migratory journey, or family status – as ragazzi (boys/girls or kids), and what it reveals about the current Italian social imaginary: the effects of neoliberal emotional policies, the continuation of a colonialist mentality, the need for psychological defenses among staff, and the disempowerment of migrants in a camp-like institution.

This intervention aims to analyze the human and Christian vocation of woman, which is rooted and linked to her nature: she has a brain like man, but she also has a womb, and these two centers distinguish and connote her, in the natural feminine condition, created to receive love and give life: in her flesh, in her heart, in her spirit. Motherhood (both physical and spiritual, and indeed the highest form of motherhood is precisely the spiritual one) is like the pole towards which the spirituality of every woman is oriented, and in which her most authentic gifts of capacity to love are manifested: the donation of oneself, and the custody and care of those entrusted to her, to lead them to prepare themselves to welcome the action of God in their hearts.

Nel constatare come l’odierno fenomeno migratorio incida profondamente sugli assetti degli ordinamenti, si ritiene che lo straniero - si usa volutamente questa accezione generica – e, in particolare, la sua accoglienza, non debbano essere concepiti come una sfida, in quanto quest’ultima implica normalmente un vincitore e un perdente. Più precisamente, rispetto al tema dell’immigrazione, in genere si presuppone che il vincitore siano lo Stato e i cittadini, e il perdente lo straniero. Tale sfida, nella ricerca di un equilibrio fra l’apertura incondizionata all’immigrazione e la ostile e rigida chiusura dei territori, se gestita erroneamente, potrebbe anche condurre a una progressiva frammentazione della cittadinanza, alla dissoluzione del principio della sovranità statale e a una crisi della territorialità. Si vuole invece qui dimostrare come sia più opportuno affrontare l’immigrazione quale opportunità per le democrazie costituzionali e per il processo di integrazione europea. / 𝐴𝑠𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑖𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑛 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑠, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑖𝑚𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑, 𝑖𝑛 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟, ℎ𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑒.

In the En - cyclical Brothers All, on several occasions, Pope Francis speaks of full citizenship even for immigrants. To what extent can the theological vision of fraternity help democratic states to review the law on reception and equality among citizens? We need a new reflection on the phenomenon of migration and an opening to the world that cannot be exclusively economic and financial, but above all social, cultural and legal.

Education in brotherhood and formation in welcoming others have always been part of the Islamic spiritual tradition. Around this principle, the author tries to outline the new scenarios of peaceful coexistence between different peoples and faiths in the light of the current dialogue between Christians and Muslims.

The path of compassion generates fraternity: this is the path through which Buddhism, in its various forms, also allows us to share the project of universal fraternity recalled by Pope Francis in the Encyclical letter Brothers All. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the light of the covenant that God has stipulated with Israel, the author of this interesting biblical study reinterprets the meaning of the welcome and possible integration of the immigrant according to the indications of the book of Deuteronomy, tracing concrete indications for our times. in relation to universal brotherhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recent Encyclical on fraternity and social amity appeared to many as a strong call and appeal to responsibility. The call for universal brotherhood and social communion comes at a time when the world is going through one of the most serious planetary systemic crises (health, economic, political, ecological...) in history. The article shows that the theme of welcoming the "stranger", starting from some biblical episodes up to the current historical context, is constitutive of biblical revelation and decisive in the unfolding of the Church's pastoral action.

This work develops two ideas which, with particular reference to the republican period of the constitutional history of Rome, are considered suitable to express the degree of the assimilation capacity of the Roman civitas with respect to exogenous factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 2nd chapter of the encyclical Fratelli tutti, entitled «A stranger on the road», is a magisterial wandering within the Word of God at the roots of the gift of «fraternity». Pope Francis uses the beauty and strength of the Word of God to shake our consciences, urging us to imitate Christ «good Samaritan» of the world. His numerous biblical quotations, briefly commented on in the article, have the power to heal from indifference towards the wounded who lie on the paths of our selfishness, to rediscover them brothers in Christ, children of God and heirs of the infinite Divine Goodness. A paradoxical «resource» for our time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sullo sfondo di un contesto caratterizzato dalla continua crescita dei flussi migratori forzati, ci proponiamo di discutere i modelli di inclusione abitativa rivolti ai richiedenti asilo e rifugiati presenti in Calabria. Verranno discusse le ricadute che questi differenti modelli evidenziano rispetto ai percorsi di inserimento dei profughi e alla loro effettiva sostenibilità politica economica e sociale. Da questo punto di vista vedremo come soprattutto nelle esperienze più informali, al di là dei rigidi limiti temporali e burocratici posti dal sistema istituzionale di accoglienza, l’abitare si stia tramutando in un luogo fondamentale di trasformazione sociale, capace di dare legittimità a nuove identità politiche e a pratiche di cittadinanza di carattere post-nazionale.

Cities are haunted by people living without any form of civil rights, welfare, health, social relations: homeless, nomads, “illegal” immigrants, walkers and wanderers, refugees and stateless, beggars, amputees in wars having place far from the safe Europe. Their existence generates mistrust and suspicion on one hand, challenging on the other the civil conscience of the contemporary society. It is a sort of memento mori: an incumbent mourning for the possible loss of citizen status. The historic city has proved capable of hosting marginalisation and deviance, through institutions or architectural devices. Does the neoliberal city, generating social inequalities and managed in the name of security, still has room for such unsettled and unsettling presences? Can it treat them only as “waste” or, vice versa, grant them the dignity of a different dwelling within a universal coexistence?

SOMMARIO In questo contributo si vuole dare conto della situazione italiana per quanto riguarda l’approccio educativo alla prima infanzia, e descrivere un progetto interculturale1, ideato, realizzato, monitorato e sostenuto per venti anni a Roma in un’ottica di pedagogia sociale2. Il nucleo fondante di questo progetto è il concetto di spazio potenziale di Winnicott (1971, 1986), applicato all’educazione interculturale e al sostegno alla genitorialità. Dati gli sviluppi delle politiche educative italiane attuali,3alcune pratiche che sono state concretamente realizzate in questo progetto, grazie al costante accompagnamento di consulenza pedagogica, potranno essere recuperate per promuovere una dimensione di accoglienza delle diversità nel contesto formativo e per rendere l’istituzione scolastica, anche quella della prima infanzia, un contesto democratico in cui si promuove la parità tra i bambini.

The article takes into consideration and tries to integrate the task of the hospitality towards migrants in the reception centres and the group training processes of the professionals working with them. Difficulties, protections and phenomena that emerge from these settings will be analysed, with particular attention to the group dinamics and processes, considered both in the community life and in the training and supervision contexts. In the subsequent reflections, as in the methodologies applied on the field, the authors investigate a possible integration between operational psychoanalysis, mainly referring to the works of Pichon-Rivière and Bleger, group approach and some elements from the etnopsichiatry school.

A touching interview to Cardinal Francesco Montenegro, Metropolitan Archbishop of Agrigento and president of the Italian Caritas, who visited Bari for a diocesan meeting on the Pastoral of Health Care in the last months. The Archbishop, a native of Messina, maintained that is necessary to change our perspective towards migrants arriving to Italy, with whom he personally worked as the national and local Church supervisor of the landings on Lampedusa island. The Archbishop's words have been included in a high school project on «Education on Integration and Multiculturalism» held in Triggiano (Bari), and have been deeply discussed on the occasion of the last Conference of the Facoltà Teologica Pugliese «Gospel and Society starting from Evangelii Gaudium » [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Il fenomeno dei minori stranieri non accompagnati fu gestito a Cremona, fino all'anno 2007, unicamente tramite l'accoglienza in strutture residenziali. Tale pratica dovette però confrontarsi con la criticità (anche di tipo economico) rappresentata dalla massiccia crescita degli arrivi di minorenni stranieri dichiaranti essere "non accompagnati", verificatasi negli anni 2006 e 2007. La frequente presenza di reti parentali dei minori nelle provincie limitrofe, indusse a ritenere che il percorso migratorio dei MSNA giunti a Cremona fosse il risultato di una strategia messa a punto da adulti di riferimento, i quali indirizzavano il giovane verso quei territori dove le pratiche d'accoglienza apparivano più efficaci riguardo all'acquisizione del titolo di soggiorno. Ciò che emerge è la correlazione intercorrente tra modalità di accoglienza e strategia migratoria. A partire dall'anno 2008, il riconoscimento del carattere "famigliare" del progetto migratorio del minore, e della sua rete parentale come risorsa per una più efficace e sostenibile presa in carico, portò all'identificazione di una strategia di accoglienza incentrata sull'affidamento famigliare.

This paper shows the results of the research fellowship project "Città Inclusiva/ Città Sicura"1 aimed at defining strategies to promote urban safety. The research project used a specific methodological approach to implement a prototype model for urban safety management. It proposed the development of an action plan for a model of inclusive and safe city drawing on the French ESSP (Public Safety and Security Studies). The plan includes a series of actions of spatial and functional regeneration of the existing assets optimizing the relationship with the new infrastructures of dialogue and reception. Furthermore, it could contribute to solving the problems related to the physical, technological and environmental adaptation of urban contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article begins from a consideration of two diverse pronouncements of Benedict XVI and Pope Francis in favor of the rights of migrants. The discourse then proceeds to demonstrate that in Europe often there has been cultivated positions of little openness towards refugees,often for motives of fear and defense against the Islamic invasion. But from the abundance of data in the article, it is demonstrated that in fact, the Church, both as a community of believers as well as an institution, has always shown welcome, and worked for solidarity and integration of refugees and migrants. This has been happening beginning with the facts of WWII, and then the waves of refugees from European, Asiatic, African and Sub-Saharan lands from 1970 until today. One realizes, then, that the Church’s mission of advocacy, of indication and of integral promotion towards those in need, continues to be a support to those who seek a better future in our Country.

Mercy and tenderness: heart of Trinity mistery and horizons of the way of Church of our times. God's mercy is Jesus Christ, the Crucifix-Risen One. Whenever we make an authentic experience of listening and welcoming, God reveals himself to us in the neighbor. In the light of the experience of Abraham, who welcomed the visit of the three angels and the parable of the good Samaritan, the author tries to re-read the theological themes, for the mission of the Church today, the themes of welcome, dialogue, meeting with the foreign.
