L’articolo riflette, nell’ambito dell’ampia prospettiva critica dell’antropologia culturale, con particolare riferimento alle antropologie medica, del lavoro e del genere, e con una ricerca sul campo condotta in un contesto sanitario, sull’esperienza di mobbing lavorativo vissuta da alcune donne utenti di un Servizio specialistico dell’ASL di Napoli. Dalle storie raccolte e analizzate con metodologia antropologica appare evidente che il fenomeno del mobbing lavorativo impatta non solo sulla carriera delle intervistate e sulla loro salute psicofisica, ma anche su quella sociale. Mettendo a repentaglio l’intera organizzazione relazionale delle stesse, il mobbing si configura, in alcuni casi, come un ‘omicidio’ della persona sul piano simbolico, in stretta connessione con specifiche dinamiche di potere e con un frame sociale e culturale che ancora oggi lo rende possibile.

The perspective specific to the economic theory of reducing the human being to a mere mathematical model and of viewing the exchange between work and wage as a naturalistic process prevents us from grasping the characteristic of alienation, which deeply alters the natural and human aspects of the work itself, up to disrupt them. Work alienation, as the negative moment of an objectification-recognition dialectics, actually has a positive meaning of individual human growth that passes through emancipation. Compared to the past, today it is necessary to identify a more substantial element of alienation as the expropriation of the human being's ultimate end and, also, to question labour or the company as ends in themselves, as the only substitutes for the worker's life project. The time has therefore come for workers, isolated economic actors within a world of mere exchange relationships, to stop entirely giving themselves to a cause that is not their own, albeit legitimate, which is represented by the goal of creating value, and to rediscover the true meaning of being a human with and among other humans.

The contribution aims to provide an analysis, from a labor law perspective, of the systemic lines of the Social Doctrine of the Church, which is a necessary paradigm for all reflections revolving around the theme of "dignified work". Indeed, in invoking the "dignity" of work, one cannot overlook its theological inspiration, positioning it at the crossroads of Christian-humanistic and positive rational thought. From this point of view, there is a re-evaluation of human labor that balances its original function as expiation for the original sin and moves towards its affirmation as a continuance of the creation, an imitation of Christ in his human experience as a worker. Special attention will be given to the theme of "fair pay". Yesterday as today, the measure of justice in the socio-economic system has progressively been complemented by various social benefits aimed at protecting the life and health of workers and their families. The ultimate goal of the Social Doctrine of the Church is not - "income for all" but - "work for all" because people can only transform nature through their work. By adapting nature to their needs, people can express themselves as a human beings, and indeed, in a certain sense can become "more human". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently there has been a wide debate on the role of so-called noncognitive skills, a misnomer for the personal skills needed to cope positively with personal, social and professional life. In this contribution an attempt is made to clarify their meaning, prospect their development and possible evaluation. Reference is made in this framework mainly to the world of work, in which they are more specifically referred to as soft skills. Sulle competenze, e in particolare su quelle personali dette spesso soft skills: il loro ruolo nel mondo del lavoro. Recentemente si è sviluppato un ampio dibattito sul ruolo delle cosiddette competenze non cognitive, espressione impropria per indicare le competenze personali necessarie per affrontare positivamente la vita personale, sociale e professionale. In questo contributo si cerca di chiarire il loro significato, prospettare un loro sviluppo e una loro possibile valutazione. Si fa riferimento in questo quadro soprattutto al mondo del lavoro, nel quale esse sono più specificatamente denominate soft skills.

IT presente saggio mette a fuoco i fondamenti costitutivi della proposta teorica intersezionale, in particolare quelli connessi allo sviluppo del pensiero femminista di stampo sociologico, per affrontare il tema della disparità lavorativa in Italia e delle sue implicazioni a livello di posizionamenti, ruoli, risorse. Inoltre, viene proposta una lettura della dimensione di genere che vada oltre una logica riduzionista e binaria, maschile/femminile, mostrandone l'intreccio con altri assi di differenze e di discriminazioni entro complesse e polivalenti configurazioni relazionali e dinamiche strutturali. Le donne vengono assunte come gruppo sociale non neutrale né omogeneo, certamente costruito socialmente, le cui vicende rappresentano soggettività differenti al centro di asimmetrie di potere che si riflettono nella loro vita quotidiana, generando diversificate forme di oppressione e di condizionamento non riconducibile alla sola appartenenza di genere. L'adozione di una prospettiva intersezionale nell'analisi della disparità lavorativa consente di delineare spiegazioni e ipotesi di cambiamento che tengano conto di quella idea di complessità sociale con cui è possibile spiegare quei fenomeni che hanno origine dall'intersezione tra più categorie sociali e che sono propri delle società post-moderne.

Il lavoro rappresenta oggi uno dei termini più usati e abusati nei contesti dell’umano. In campo pedagogico, declinato attraverso la pratica (pratiche lavorative) e i suoi diversi mutamenti storico-sociali, diviene tema urgente, specie all’indomani della crisi sociale ed economica che ha colpito il mondo con la diffusione del Covid-19. Il presente articolo muove da una riflessione empirica circa la frammentazione dell’educativo nell’era del coronavirus, per giungere a ripensare la persona al centro del dibattito sul lavoro, puntando l’attenzione sui cambiamenti e le evoluzioni di una pedagogia del lavoro che, al pari delle altre scienze umane, a causa della pandemia, deve con urgenza ripensare la propria azione. Una crisi educativa che è crisi economica, sociale e politica, e che non può prescindere dal ripensare la relazione educativa come punto essenziale dal quale far ripartire una nuova idea di lavoro, e di organizzazione, fondata sulla persona.

The review examines the book Cittadinanze incompiute. La parabola dell’autorizzazione maritale, edited by Stefania Bartoloni. Cittadinanze incompiute examines the roots of the laws which, for a long period in Italy and Europe, sanctioned the legal incapacity of women. It then discusses the long-term developments of the Sacchi Law (n. 1176/1919), which abrogated the institution of marital authorisation and allowed, with albeit significant limitations, women to take on public roles and exercise a profession.

During the current pandemics several themes have emerged also concerning architecture. Among these there are the different forms of home living. This has been an extraordinary situation in which we had to do more activities within the same home environment: education, work, and workout have claimed their own legitimate space within our homes in order to enable us to continue carrying out multiple tasks at the same time. We have felt the need of an alternative dwelling model and realized that we should require our homes to be more adaptable, even in not so dramatic emergency circumstances. The need of housing flexibility requires a re-thinking of distribution criteria which could affect the structures of our buildings.

The purpose of this article is to analyse ways of life and home environments through the categories of productive and reproductive work, in order to outline new practicable solutions to some of the issues presented. The lock-down has connected the interior of the home - the private, space of reproductive work - and the exterior - the public, space of productive work - in an unprecedented way. It is precisely within the relationship between outside and inside, public and private, production and reproduction that lie many of the contradictions and the potentialities of living. These spaces could be reshaped through political and non-formal design strategies. Working on a plan encompassing both private homes and urban design, we outline options to intervene on collective residences within the city. Keywords

The latest social encyclicals of Pope Francis, Laudato si' and Fratelli tutti, make their own the insights of the Second Vatican Council on the role of dialogue within the Church and in the relations she must have with the contemporary world. Starting from two icons used by the Pontiff himself - the passage of the Good Samaritan and the episode of the meeting of St. Francis with the sultan of Egypt - this contribution seeks to deepen the theme of dialogue, tracing back its theological foundations, defining it as a style, method and horizon of the life of the Church and proposing some good practices for a renewal of national and local policies.

Written by three authors with different education and knowledge, the article wishes to boost the outburst conveyed by such an important event as The Economy of Francesco in looking for a new economic pattern. Starting from the acnowledgment of Pope Francis’ thought about economy, as it appears in his last encyclical Fratelli tutti, the authors consider job, equality and sustainability as three major achievements needed for this challenge. And these are three mutually enhancing and recalling issues. A sustainable economy is such if it provides job for everyone in order to ensure a less unequal world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ensuring work for people with disabilities today represents an important goal for democratic states and a continuous challenge for policy makers who should always aim to improve targeted placement services. Unfortunately, this goal, although regulated by specific laws, does not always find fertile ground in its applicability, sometimes increasing marginalization and discrimination. In this regard, the Covid-19 outbreak has brought out new forms of exclusion and new needs, increasing, in some cases, inequalities within workplaces. Therefore, starting from the scenario outlined by the pandemic, the paper aims to propose a reflection on the importance of work for people with disabilities, as a tool of self-empowerment that promotes inclusive processes, analyzing the legislative framework regarding access to work for vulnerable people and outlining possible future perspectives to promote inclusion within work places. Lavoro e disabilità ai tempi del Covid-19: dallo scenario attuale a possibili prospettive future. Garantire una occupazione lavorativa alle persone con disabilità rappresenta oggi una conquista per gli Stati democratici e una continua sfida per i policy makers che dovrebbero sempre puntare a migliorare i servizi di collocamento mirato. Purtroppo, tale conquista, sebbene normata da leggi ad hoc, non sempre trova terreno fertile nella sua applicabilità, alimentando, talvolta, i fenomeni di emarginazione e i meccanismi di discriminazione. A tal proposito, l’emergenza sanitaria da Covid-19 ha fatto emergere nuove forme di esclusione e nuovi bisogni incrementando, in alcuni casi, le disparità in ambiente lavorativo. Dunque, partendo dallo scenario delineato dalla situazione pandemica, il contributo intende proporre una riflessione circa l’importanza del lavoro per le persone con disabilità, in quanto strumento di self-empowerment che favorisce i processi inclusivi, analizzando il quadro normativo in materia di diritto e di accesso al lavoro per i soggetti più fragili e tratteggiando possibili prospettive future per promuovere percorsi lavorativi inclusivi.

In the last decades work has completely changed its configuration: the working practices, the type of work and employment status, the work’s meaning, its relationship with personal identity have changed. What contribution can then be made to pedagogy, beyond the most immediate declinations that generally reaffirm the value and centrality of "training"? The paper examines three possible variations in the relationship between training and work: education to work, education at work and education through work, recognizing what contributions a pedagogy of work can offer to support individuals and organizations.

Il contributo tira le somme di un progetto finanziato giunto a conclusione nel presente anno ed incentrato sulle forme del welfare prima del welfare, ovvero sull’assistenza pubblica in età medievale e protomoderna. Nel testo sono elencati i presupposti di partenza, gli obiettivi raggiunti e i risultati delle indagini svolte. Vengono inoltre indicate ulteriori prospettive di sviluppo.

Professor Marcello Cesa-Bianchi produced a vast body of scientific work. In his almost seventy years of academic experience he studied a wide range of psychology topics. In his early working years, he mainly dealt with ageing, experimental methodology, psychometrics, and perception. Subsequently many other topics were the subject of deeper study. He was always particularly interested in ageing, until the end of his long academic and scientific life. This contribution, from a historical perspective, summarises and examines - in addition to the work relating to methodology, psychometrics and perception - the Professor's main publications on his studies and research on developmental psychology, on psychology and on medical psychology with a particular reference to the overall training of the doctor, as some of the most representative themes of his impressive scientific work.

After quoting some biographical contributions on Tina Anselmi, the article tries, at first, to propose a biography of her marked by essential moments and, secondly, to trace the instances of the subjectivity of Anselmi in the law on equal treatment in the Work of 1977, inserting the theme in the international context characterized by the debate on the female condition after 1975, International Women’s Year. The last part, finally, is dedicated to the memory of a “mother of the Italian Republic”.

This paper is intended as a reflection on the socio-political construction of oral sources in the context of extensive fieldwork research, carried out “at home”. Itinvestigates the ethnographic encounters as heuristic tools aimed at the construction of specific anthropological knowledge. I consider here my ethnographic interviews with former unionists and workers of the Pirelli-Bicocca focusing on the accounts of the years 1968-1969. Rethinking these "ethnographic documents" collected between 2008 and 2013, I describe some mutual hospitality practices that emerged with incisiveness in the relation between the subjects involved in this ethnographic research and me.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the current dynamics of job precariousness and its effects on all aspects of life. With work losing its centrality in contemporary society, the concept of self has been distorted together with the sense of identity to which it is indissolubly connected. By using a gender perspective, I focused my attention on the problematic situation of women and their ability to reinvent their occupations and lifestyles in a hostile and unattractive context. As pioneers and aware of working in irregular conditions, these women have created a breakthrough in the possibilities of work experiences that are strongly involved in the labor dispute, raising questions that deserve answers.

The paper aims to analyze the role women play in the social and cultural life of the Middle East and North Africa, in particular their role in the working environment. Women in the labor market are forced into a position of inferiority because the laws that provide rights to workers contradicted and violated by family laws. Although their legal position is certainly more penalized than it can be seen in Western countries, women’s participation in the economic and political spheres has increased in recent decades. Through the study of various cases it has been demonstrated that women have played a key role in the Arab-Islamic world since it is understood that women’s emancipation is a fundamental premise for progress.
