Etnografia della transizione culturale nelle comunità San del Kalahari

During her palaeoanthropological and ethnoarchaeological research at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, between 2007 and 2014, Lucinda Backwell privately collected a significant amount of objects produced by the San communities who currently live in Kalahari reserves, assigned to them by the governments of Botswana and Namibia: the villages around Tsumkwe, in the Nyae Nyae Conservancy, the village of Kacgae in the district of Ghanzi and the Transfrontier Park on the border between Botswana and South Africa. Initially motivated by the desire to offer some economic support to the communities by purchasing some products of their craftsmanship, the author realized that it would be important to document the culture of the San and the elements in transition. With this in mind, she put together a collection of over 400 artifacts, which in 2018 she donated to the Natural History Museum of Florence. This work aims to document the collection and highlight its ethnographic meaning, considering the archaeological traces that attest to the antiquity of the San culture, and the evidence on the current living conditions of a people threatened in their survival.Fil: Zavattaro, Monica.

Variation de l'âge au mariage dans un échantillon d'immigrés italiens en Belgique

Summary. — The Italian community living in Belgium has been chosen to test the method of "family-biography" in international migrations studies. Collected data enable us to follow modifications of the matrimonial and reproductive behaviour through many generations and to select the most useful bio-demographical variables for describing the micro-evolution process in an immigrant population. Age at marriage may be considered as a good indicator : its variations, generation by generation, are influenced by factors connected with the migration itself. In this work we analyze the relationship between the age at marriage and some socio-demographical parameters of married couples, both in migrant and following generation : type of marriage (homogamous or heterogamous concerning the nationality), geographical origins, education level, profession and family size.Résumé. — La communauté italienne en Belgique a été choisie pour vérifier l'efficacité de l'utilisation des biographies familiales dans l'étude des migrations internationales. Les données collectées permettent de suivre, au cours des générations, les variations des comportements — matrimonial et reproductif — des immigrés et de sélectionner les variables biodémographiques qui décrivent le mieux les processus de microévolution d'une population migrante. L'âge au mariage peut être considéré comme un de ces indicateurs : ses variations, soit dans la génération migrante, soit dans la descendance, sont en effet influencées par des facteurs liés à la migration même. Dans ce travail, on analyse la relation entre la variation de l'âge au mariage et quelques caractéristiques socio-démographiques des migrants et de la première génération : type de mariage (homogame ou hétérogame pour la nationalité des conjoints), origines géographiques, niveau d'instruction, profession exercée, dimension de la famille.Zavattaro Monica.

International migrations and biodemographic dynamics: Fertility in a sample of Italian immigrants

This work goes beyond the limits of official anagraphic information: by the methodology of family biography it is possible to follow the evolution of demographic traits of a community of immigrants. Fertility is here considered as an important indicator of the population's degree of integration. In the Italian sampling in Belgium the value of this factor shows a rapid decline parallel to the italian natality indexes fall which occurred during the '60 and '70. It is interesting to notice that within the general fertility decrease in the taken sample, oscillations due to the immigrants regional origins and to the presence of mixed marriages, can be observed. © 1993 International Institute for the Study of Man.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
