Of Federalism, Human Rights, and the \u3cem\u3eHolland\u3c/em\u3e Caveat: Congressional Power to Iplement Treaties

This Article explores whether the Rehnquist Court\u27s federalism doctrine, as elaborated during this last decade, should or ought to extend to the domestication of discrete provisions of ratified human rights treaties. It explores this question by examining the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Covenant) and by considering the civil remedy provision of Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) as potential implementing legislation for the equality provisions of the Covenant. In the context of this inquiry, the discussion engages federalism, as developed by the current Court, on its own terms. That is, I do not seek here to defend it or reject it. It seeks to refocus the broader debate to the specific context of the VAWA and the ICCPR

Introduction to the Special Section: Youth Work, Non-Formal Education and Youth Participation

This special issue of the Italian Journal of Sociology of Education deals with “Youth Work, Non-Formal Education and Youth Participation”. These three dimensions have become, over recent years, among the main drivers in youth policies (Bendit & Hahn-Bleibtreu, 2008; Chisholm, Kovacheva & Merico, 2011; Belton, 2014). This is largely evident at a European level. Specifically, the development of youth work is nowadays a priority for the European Commission and the Council of Europe, within a broader framework directed towards the recognition and validation of non-formal education, the promotion of youth participation, and the wider rethinking of youth policies (Milmeister & Williamson, 2006; Williamson, 2007; 2008; Denstad, 2009; Devlin, 2010

Individual and Social Temporalities in American Sociology (1940–2000)

This article is based on the analysis of 259 titles of articles selected from four American sociological journals (the American Journal of Sociology, Social Forces, the American Sociological Review and Social Problems), over a period of 60 years (1940–2000). These titles contain key words such as age(s), generation(s), life cycle and life course, as well as a group of words that identify the purpose of each specific article. The lexical analysis of the data gathered in this way allows us to observe how various orientations, themes and objects of research are encoded in the titles. Comparing how each of these terms is used shows the way in which sociological reasoning has integrated different perspectives on individual and social temporalities. We have established that each of the four different perspectives considered refers to an exclusive lexical repertoire, to themes of differentiated research that belong to a specific historical period

Divenire e illusione. La questione del sacro in Freud, Jung e Bion

This work does not constitute an attempt, as an end in itself, to establish a theoretical comparison among Freud, Jung and Bion about the nature and the effectiveness of religious narration. Contrary to the misleading character of the title, a question of clinical nature arises: which space does occupy the mythical apparatus at human disposal, the “sacred”, in the relationship between the analyst and the analysand? From wat perspective can it be watched, stated, touched? First and foremost, the objective will be, through the specific contribution of the above mentioned authors, to understand what we are referring to by the term “sacred”. Our “sacred”, in fact, doesn’t correspond with the mythical religious narration: its truth value is revealed both in the religious and in the scientific narration. By putting on an equal footing science and religion, but without denying their different implications, the narrative insistence can be released as opposed to the truth criteria that still pervade it. In other words, the aim is to decentralize from that “truth” that magnetically lure our narrative productions, and to understand why, given it cannot currently be removed, it presents itself in many different mechanism of complete identification with the narration, whether it is scientific or religious, to such an extent that we are able to state that just when the human beings don’t recognise themselves “in the myth” anymore, they are completely in the myth. It is only by accepting the two implications of this work, that is the acknowledgement of a truth that pierce the narrative and constructive insistences, and, in the meantime, the need for a decentralization as opposed to the truth above, that the real meaning of a dimension clinically expendable, the “sacred”, can be understoo
