Boccaccio (comico) nel teatro (comico) di Machiavelli
Molti critici hanno posto in parallelo Boccaccio e Machiavelli: cronologicamente, il primo testo trovato è una lettera di Girolamo Muzio del 1535. Oltre alla presenza del Decameron nella Mandragola, la cui influenza viene ulteriormente sottolineata, lo studio è orientato in funzione della Clizia, in cui lo stesso Machiavelli sembra allontanarsi e sfuggire dalle situazioni ironicamente boccaccesche che egli stesso aveva poco tempo prima creato per rifugiarsi in un linguaggio estremamente più piano e posato, quello che stava diventando predominante, dell'imitazione plautina e terenziana. A proposito viene anche riportato un significativo passo della traduzione dell'Andria. Vengono poi esaminati alcuni temi chiave: le donne, i vecchi e i giovani, la paura della maldicenza, le abilità sessuali dei personaggi, i giochi linguistici di attesa che implicano una teatralità dirompente, tutti letti nella ripresa più o meno letterale (ma sempre indicata) dai testi di Boccaccio. La conclusione è che Machiavelli, nel riprendere il Boccaccio comico, si diverte nel compiere un gioco equivoco con i termini usati: l'equivoco può sembrare della stessa natura, ma in un autore può addirittura diventare parodia del significato di quello che è nell'altro.Many critics have placed Boccaccio and Machiavelli side by side. Chronologically, the first text we find is a letter written by Girolamo Muzio in 1535. Besides the presence of the Decameron in Mandragola, the influence is further underlined as we allow Clizia to guide the study. In this work Machiavelli seems to distance himself and flee from ironically Boccaccio-esque situations that he himself had created just slightly earlier in order to take refuge in extremely flat and composed language. This sober language which imitated Plautus and Terrence was becoming dominant at the time. In this line of investigation a significant passage from the translation of Andria is analyzed. Then some key themes are examined: women, old age and youth, fear of curses, the sexual skill of the characters, the linguistic waiting games involving unsettling theatrics, all of which are taken more or less literally (but always clearly) from the texts of Boccaccio. The conclusion is that in taking from Boccaccio's comedies, Machiavelli enjoys playing a game of ambiguity with the terms used. This ambiguity may seem to be of the same nature, but in it one author can even parody the meaning of the other author

Koronakriza in migracije: Pansindemija in njen vpliv na migrante
he coronavirus crisis exposed and exacerbated inequalities that already existed. Simultaneously, it has transformed inequalities, changing old ones, generating new ones, intertwining the old and the new. A test of these processes, in particular, of the differentiated impact of the health crisis, may be observed in migration. After examining the ecological-social origins of the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 related racial health inequalities, the article analyzes the consequences of the pandemic on the health and working conditions of immigrant workers, asylum seekers, emigrants in travel. It highlights the syndemic situation affecting them.Koronakriza je že obstoječe neenakosti še poudarila in povečala. Hkrati jih je tudi preoblikovala, spremenila stare, povzročila nove ter prepletla stare in nove. Te procese, zlasti diferenciran vpliv na zdravstveno krizo, je mogoče opazovati pri migracijah. Članek uvodoma analizira ekološko družbeni izvor novega koronavirusa in z njim povezanih rasnih zdravstvenih neenakosti, nadaljuje pa z obravnavo posledic pandemije na zdravje in delovne razmere migrantskih delavcev, prosilcev za azil in migrantov na poti. Osvetljuje sindemično situacijo, v kateri so se znašli
Anti-migrant Islamophobia in Europe. Social roots, mechanisms and actors
Abstract During the last two decades of rising anti-migrant racism in Europe, Islamophobia has proven to be the highest, most acute, and widely spread form of racism. The article shows how anti-migrant Islamophobia is a structural phenomenon in European societies and how its internal structure has specific social roots and mechanisms of functioning. Such an articulate and interdependent set of key themes, policies, practices, discourses, and social actors it is intended to inferiorise and marginalise Muslim immigrants while legitimising and reproducing social inequalities affecting the majority of them. The article examines the social origins of anti-migrant Islamophobia and the modes and mechanisms through which it naturalises inequalities; it focuses on the main social actors involved in its production, specifically on the role of some collective subjects as anti-Muslim organizations and movements, far-right parties, best-selling authors, and the mass-media
Tratamiento de la reabsorción dentinaria interna
La reabsorción dentinaria interna es el resultado de una lesión o irritación a la pulpa y/o ligamento periodontal, que se presenta como un defecto irregular en el conducto radicular causado por un daño en la predentina. Cuando dicha lesión está instaurada, y es diagnosticada, se debe realizar el tratamiento de la misma.
La evolución de la reabsorción implica una interacción entre las células inflamatorias, las células clásticas y las estructuras del tejido duro. Las células involucradas en la reabsorción son comúnmente denominadas odontoclastos y osteoclastos.
En el caso clínico descrito en este trabajo, tratamiento de una reabsorción dentinaria interna, presente en incisivo lateral superior izquierdo, se realizó en una sesión utilizando irrigación ultrasónica pasiva. Para su obturación, se optó por una técnica de obturación de tipo híbrida, en donde el tercio apical se obturo con la técnica de condensación lateral en frío y la zona de la reabsorción fue obturada con gutapercha termoplastizada. Basados en la evidencia clínica y científica disponible, el caso clínico presentado logró estándares de calidad en el tratamiento realizado.Fil: Perocco, Ana Laura. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo.

Voluntary work as a new frontier in the precarisation of migrant workers: the case of asylum seekers in Italy
Within the deep work transformations that have taken place in recent decades, the European labour market has been affected by a process of structural precarisation which has created unprecedented forms of precarious work. Among such, unpaid work is an expression of extreme precarity due to the complete separation between work and wage. For several causes, migrant workers are one of the categories most affected by work casualisation and live a condition of double precarity (work and legal), mainly produced by migration policies. At the same time, immigration is involuntary a test bench for new forms of flexible work.This article examines the link between work casualisation and migration through the analysis of a specific form of unpaid work, i.e. the voluntary work by asylum seekers in Italy - institutionalised as a public policy in 2014. Considered as a mechanism of “public atonement” for the guilt of migration through activities of public interest, the article highlights how it constitutes an extreme form of precarisation of a vulnerable category. In merging elements questioning the unconditionality of the right of asylum and acquaintance with permanent precarity, it creates an unprecedented “grey area” of labour exploitation and cultural inferiorisationEn el marco de las transformaciones del trabajo, el mercado del trabajo europeo ha asistido a un proceso de precarización estructural que ha conllevado formas de trabajo precario inéditas. Entre ellas, el trabajo no remunerado es una expresión de precariedad extrema por su separación total entre prestación y salario. Por distintas causas, los trabajadores migrantes son una de las categorías más afectadas por la precarización y viven una condición de doble precariedad (laboral y legal), causada principalmente por las políticas migratorias. Al mismo tiempo, la inmigración es involuntariamente el laboratorio donde se experimentan nuevas formas de trabajo flexible. Este artículo examina la conexión entre precarización laboral y migración a través del análisis del trabajo voluntario de los solicitantes de asilo en Italia - institucionalizado como política pública en 2014. Interpretado como mecanismo de “expiación pública” de la culpa de la migración a través del trabajo voluntario de utilidad pública, el artículo hace hincapié en el hecho que ese constituye una forma extrema de precarización de una categoría vulnerable. Mezclando elementos que ponen en entredicho la incondicionalidad del derecho al asilo y la socialización hacia la precariedad permanente, pone de manifiesto una “zona gris” de explotación laboral y inferiorización cultural
For Dignity, Against Racism: The Struggles of Asylum Seekers in Italy
In Italy, over the last years in the world of social struggles asylum seekers have been in the spotlight several times, having led several episodes of mobilisations and protests. They emerged as political subjects, with their own claims and situations; parallel to the issue of reception, they expressed themselves in the public space as asylum seekers, with campaigns, pickets, and marches, with which the respect for their rights and dignity is advocated. This study analyses the causes, forms and repercussions of the struggles of asylum seekers in the last decade. After the analysis of the experience of immigrants’ struggles over the last three decades, the article examines the social roots and the features of the struggles of asylum seekers between 2011 to 2019, and considers their meaning in the political context
INTRODUCTION: MIGRANTS AND MIGRATION IN THE ECO-PAN-SYNDEMIC ERA
In 2021, Dve Domovini / Two Homelands published a special issue entitled The Coro-
navirus Crisis and Migration (vol. 54), which contained numerous articles on various
contexts and specific aspects. Considering the importance of the topic, one year
later, Dve Domovini / Two Homelands is devoting a new issue to migration in the
pandemic era. In the editorial of issue 54, we analyzed the coronavirus crisis’s origins,
characteristics, and social effects. In this editorial, we present an overview of migra-
tory movements and migration policies and the impact on labor and health for
immigrants. The current eco-pan-syndemic 1 has produced new elements compared
to the pre-COVID era, at the same time consolidating existing phenomena and high-
lighting old problems. While it has limited, interrupted, and disrupted migratory
movements, at the same time, it has deepened the underlying causes of migration
by accentuating the need to emigrate
The Racialized Welfare Discourse on Refugees and Asylum Seekers: The Example of “Scroungers” in Italy
The rise of anti-immigrant racism over the past two decades has taken place through multiple mechanisms and processes, including the resurgence of welfare racism, which has been re-functionalized towards refugees and asylum seekers. As a key weapon of today’s sovereignism and white supremacism, the “return” of welfare racism is intrinsic to the rise of neo-liberal racism and is an integral part of a global process of erosion of social rights, weakening of social citizenship, and dismantling of the welfare state. Welfare racism—a combination of racial discrimination in the welfare system and racialized welfare discourse—operates through discriminatory laws and measures related to social benefits and through public discourses depicting refugees, immigrants, and people of color as parasites and scroungers sponging off the welfare state. The resurgence of welfare racism in the last decade has seen the specific spread of welfare racism against refugees and asylum seekers as part of the dual war on asylum and on the welfare state. This article examines the ideological-discursive dimension of welfare racism (that is, the public discourses, rhetoric, and images), first analyzing the development, dimensions, and characteristics of racialized welfare discourse more generally, then focusing on racialized welfare discourses about refugees and asylum seekers in contemporary Italy. It explores the arguments and conceptual metaphors of the racialized welfare discourse on asylum seekers, revealing the devices and dynamics at play in the construction of the refugee as a “scrounger” and welfare abuser. Furthermore, it highlights the consequences of racialized welfare discourse on public policies (particularly on social policies and welfare controls), on migration policies (particularly on immigration controls and internal controls), and on the relationship between citizens and migrants, receiving societies, and newcomers
