El cine es una diversión que hay que tomar muy en serio. Un fin que puede, incluso, ser tomado como medio. Los educadores así lo han comprendido desde hace años, y los profesores de Derecho no iban a ser menos. Al cine nada de lo humano le es ajeno, y por eso quienes se dedican a la docencia en el ámbito jurídico son conscientes de que, si se puede gozar con el cine —esa bella arte—, también se puede trabajar con él en el aula. Es necesario, claro está, estar dispuesto a ello, poseer una cultura cinematográfica apropiada y diseñar adecuadamente esta estrategia pedagógica, como se hace con cualquier táctica formativa para que resulte eficaz. Es esencial seleccionar correctamente aquellas películas o escenas que puedan ser útiles en un determinado momento para trabajar en clase, teniendo claro qué se pretende del alumnado con dicho trabajo, además de ilustrar el tratamiento de la cuestión académica que sea. El presente libro es fruto del trabajo desarrollado por un grupo de docentes, principalmente profesores de asignaturas jurídicas de la Universidad de Málaga, miembros de un Proyecto de Innovación Educativa titulado «La inserción del cine en la docencia de asignaturas jurídicas: la relevancia de la lengua inglesa» (PIE19-016), coordinado por el Profesor de Derecho Civil Antonio J. Quesada Sánchez. En él se recopilan una serie de fichas de trabajo que describen experiencias individuales puestas en práctica por los docentes con sus respectivos grupos de alumnos, todas conectadas con el cine.

Healthcare fraud poses a significant challenge, leading to substantial financial losses and compromising the quality of patient care. This study assesses the efficacy of advanced fraud detection systems, including data analytics, machine learning, predictive modeling, and natural language processing (NLP), in enhancing the detection and prevention of fraudulent activities in healthcare. By leveraging these technologies, healthcare organizations can process large volumes of complex data, adapt to evolving fraud patterns, and provide real-time monitoring. The findings indicate that data analytics effectively uncovers hidden patterns and anomalies, while machine learning and AI improve predictive accuracy by continuously learning from historical data. Predictive modeling enables proactive fraud prevention by forecasting potential fraud scenarios, and NLP extends detection capabilities to unstructured data such as clinical notes. The integration of these advanced technologies has resulted in significant financial savings and improved patient care, as demonstrated by case studies highlighting substantial reductions in fraudulent claims. The study concludes that adopting advanced fraud detection systems is essential for maintaining financial integrity and ensuring high-quality patient care in the evolving healthcare landscape.

From a Political to an ‘Ideological’ Machine: A Case Study of the 2023 General Election, Phitsanulok Province
Authors: Wongsatjachock Weera
Published: June 2024

This research article aims to study the Phitsanulok political movements and behaviors of a political machine in terms of voter mobilization in the year 2023. Research data were collected by a qualitative research method, including documentary research, in-depth interviews of 19 key informants who were involved as a political machine, including participant and non-participant observations. Research findings showed that Thai structural changes (political economy landscape), institutional change (constitutional amendments and a new electoral system), and technological change (social media) connected all political actors in an electoral process into a closer relation. This led to transformative political behaviors of the political machine of Phitsanulok, from personal favoritism, beneficial reciprocity, and patronage system into upholding political ideologies and party favoritism. However, the political machine did not fade away; it adjusted its operations and processes. As a result, the election in Phitsanulok province in 2023 had changed the political machine into the voter mobilization based on the ideology contestation between conservatism and liberalism, at both local and national levels. Each party and its representatives had opportunities to create an 'open' political space that had not been taken by any political groups.
Det gengældte blik
Authors: Iversen Anne Kølbæk
Published: June 2024

This article asks how self-staging and self-exposure are employed as an artistic strategy to negotiate the boundaries between (self-)objectification and liberation. Focusing on the images of Danish artists Maja Malou Lyse and Kirsten Justesen as a dialogue between feminists of two different generations, the article inquires into the function of the staged image as performance across the contexts and infrastructures within which it is actual- ized. The artists’ practices in each their way inspire to reconsider and negotiate the relationship and exchange between the onlooker and looked-at, the posing object and producing subject, as it is expressed in the image. Drawing upon feminist theory, post- pornography, and contemporary image theory, the aim of this article is to investigate how these practices inspire to discuss the boundaries between a critical observing subject and an invested, embodied, and desiring one.
Når en mands blik på en mands krop sættes fri
Authors: Kristiansen Johan Zimsen
Published: June 2024

With works by Danish artists Niels Nedergaard (1944-1987) and Peter Nansen Scher- fig (b. 1963) and Vietnamese-Danish artist Danh Vo (b. 1975) as point of departure, the text examines how male homosexuality and the understanding of the gay self has been presented in photographs by Danish gay artists. The text uses archive theory by French philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984) to examine how the artists have used their sexuality to question and break free from the current sociocultural structures within society. Furthermore, the text uses gay studies by French sociologist and writer Didier Eribon (b. 1953) in the examination of the photographs as expressions of gay life. In addi- tion, the text uses Danish gay history to show how Nedergaard’s photos carry traces of a dialogue-based path in the fight for gay rights and elements of gay activism. Finally, the text raises the question if one can speak of a gay writing, an écriture gay, and discusses how the photographs by Nedergaard, Nansen Scherfig and Vo can be understood as examples of such a praxis.
In Tender Terrain, 2023
Authors: Autzen Kirstine
Published: June 2024

Billederne er en del af en større serie med titlen In Tender Terrain, der tager form som en visuel oplevelsesrejse ind i et mikrokosmos af plantevæv. Værkerne er vokset ud af en fl erårig, eksperimenterende proces: Et forsøg på at krydsbefrugte analoge og digitale teknikker. Printerblæk og friskplukkede mælkebøtter har ligget sammen, blandet sig og påvirket hinanden, og da fugten fra plante og blæk tørrede ud, og plantevævet begyndte at sprække og nedbrydes, tog jeg dem med i farvemørkekammeret og lagde dem i forstørrelsesapparatets negativholder. I disse billeder zoomer jeg ind på nedbrydelsens materialitet og udforsker det hybride felt mellem organisk og syntetisk materiale. Jeg ønsker at transformere den konkrete nedbrydning af printerblæk og mælkebøtter til en abstrakt oplevelse, hvor tab af skala, genkendelighed og retning kan trække tankerne mod topografi, kropslighed og fragmentering.
An investigation into English and Scottish charity governance in the regulatory era
Authors:   , Hobbs Russell
Published: June 2024

The primary aim of this study was to investigate English and Scottish charity governance in the regulatory era. To achieve this, the research was divided into three main areas. The first aimed at understanding how the governance environment for charities had evolved over time. The second considered how trustees and charity boards were responding and adapting to this changed environment and what effect this was having on their governance work. Particular reference was made to trustee training and development. The third and concluding part aimed at considering what were the implications for understanding ‘good governance’ using findings from the previous two areas. The research methodology was based on a neo-empiricist approach because of its interpretivist mode of engagement with qualitative methods alongside an objectivist epistemology. This was considered as an appropriate methodology for this study and aligned with my ontological and epistemological viewpoint and perspectives. To gather the relevant data in accordance with the research parameters, two methods were adopted. The first consisted of a content analysis of the existing governance framework with this being followed by a round of interviews with trustees to consider their views on the subject. The findings indicated that approaches to charity governance had increased in both volume and complexity over the years and had adopted a unitarist governance ethos. The interviews demonstrated a high level of compliance with this material, but the evidence also suggested that some groups were developing governance strategies over and above what was required. In the conclusion and as part of my academic contribution, I present a model of good governance surfacing the scope for improved procedures within a controlled regulatory environment. This three-stage conceptual model is divided between Minimum Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced levels of governance and suggest that this would deliver a regulatory field in which innovation could still flourish but a strong framework of support would be retained. It also allows for a range of trustee competencies within the sector to be encouraged and supported.

The nurse in hemodyalisis between medical technologies, taking charge and burn-out
Authors: Eugeni Erica
Published: June 2024

The changed epidemiological landscape in Western countries, characterized by an increase in chronic diseases, shapes differently the role of health professionals and patients, as well as their relationships. This paper, which arises from a fieldwork carried out in 2005 in a haemodialysis ward in Rome, aims to reflect on the role of nurses and on their relationships with patients suffering from chronic kidney failure undergoing haemodialysis.Haemodialysis is a weekly medical treatment that requires patients to spend long time in hospital, as their survival relies on the machine that carries out the kidney functions. This medical treatment promotes the creation of relationships different from the usual ones between nurses and patients. In many cases, those relationships do not end up in the administration of a single therapy, but they last and, sometimes, are strengthened over time, often resulting in emotional involvement for professionals, alien to the therapeutic biomedical model.The paper reflects on how the relationship with the technology in the haemodialysis ward influences the way the nurses think about their own role; moreover, it deals with the concrete patient-nurse relationship observed in this particular context. Finally, it thinks over some of the problems that the nurses face in the current epidemiological and demographic landscape.

Lost in translation: ‘Unprovenanced objects’ and the opacity/transparency agenda of museums’ policies
Authors: Panella Cristiana
Published: June 2024

Starting from the case of ancient Malian terracotta in this article I propose an epistemological reflection on the relationship between hidden practices of circulation of unprovenanced objects and official discourses and policies driven by museums. In particular I develop a critique of the Kantian association of Truth, Beauty and Goodness involved in cultural heritage policies and art circulation. Through this perspective I refer to Luhmann’s theory on trust and power as well as to Handler’s theory on authenticity in order to show how the erasing of the social life of the Malian terracotta (overlapping legal/illegal, individual trajectories of the art traders, investment strategies, acquisition policies) by museums finally produces social inequality because of the lack of information through the production of trust toward their public. In this sense I endorse a consequentiality principle linking beauty and properness through which the value of a given final art product is directly proportional to the degree of opacity of its multiple production stages: the more the local context of the grey market remains vague, the more the world-wide homogenization of deontological and aesthetical official criteria is effective and firm.
Il “caso”, la vita e le sue condizioni: Per una antropologia politica del welfare state in Italia
Authors: Minelli Massimiliano , Redini Veronica
Published: June 2024

In questo articolo vengono analizzate da una prospettiva etnografica le forme di assistenza sociale rivolte ad anziani con disabilità attraverso una definizione politica del welfare oggi in Italia. Lo spazio dell’assistenza sanitaria che tende a essere standardizzato secondo parametri biomedici, burocratici ed economico-amministrativi, viene osservato concentrandosi sull’agency sviluppata nell'interazione tra assistenti sociali, care givers e utenti tra la casa, il sistema sanitario e le cooperative sociali di servizi. In questo modo, sono prese in esame le esperienze quotidiane nella sfera intima della casa del paziente e le catene di interazione che si svolgono nella sfera pubblica. Sulla base di questa analisi, ci proponiamo di ripensare la vulnerabilità vissuta da tutti i soggetti coinvolti in relazione al riconoscimento dei diritti e alla partecipazione politica. Il caso di studio ci permette di interrogare antropologicamente la questione sociale in relazione alle recenti trasformazioni del mercato del lavoro. Il lavoro sociale coinvolto nella definizione di un caso è infatti un momento cruciale nella lotta per il riconoscimento. In tali circostanze le persone espongono e condividono gli eventi legati al proprio corpo e alla sofferenza sociale, al fine di vedere riconosciute e legittimate richieste in cui è in discussione il diritto di esistere, dove è in gioco la vita stessa.
Belief is not always what you believe it is: Between belief and knowledge
Authors: Stoczkowski Wiktor
Published: June 2024

We are paradoxically used to calling beliefs ideas we do not believe in, whereas we persist in considering as knowledge ideas we firmly believe in. This subjective distinction between beliefs and knowledge entails two drawbacks: first, it deprives both notions of any heuristic value; secondly, it conceals the fact that our knowledge is partly composed of beliefs. The author proposes to redefine the notion, in order to distinguish two types of beliefs, each of them including simultaneously religious and scientific representations. This definition offers a new outlook on ordinary knowledge: often considered as based on science, reason or common sense, ordinary knowledge constitutes an important part of our modern Western beliefs.

Post-ethnographic museums: Changing relationships between museum and anthropology in France
Authors: De L'Estoile Benoît
Published: June 2024

The article analyses the contemporary transformations of the relationships between anthropology and museums in France in the wake of the opening in recent years of the Musée du quai Branly, the Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée (MUCEM), and the reopening in 2015 of the Musée de l’Homme. The relationship between museums and anthropology, historically tighter in France than in other national contexts, explains the intensity of reactions triggered by these transformations. Retracing the historical transformations of ethnographic museums, and especially the ideal of the ‘museum-laboratory’, shows the enduring role of the naturalist, encyclopedic paradigm. The exhaustion of the natural history paradigm, in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris as in ethnographic museums, has produced a change in the role of museums, with a shift from a museological discourse under the spell of science and rationalism to a more aesthetic and emotional approach. However, the new Musée de l'Homme embodies a revival of the naturalist and evolutionist paradigm. These new museums, which can be defined as 'post-ethnographic', have avoided a critical reflexive confrontation with history and colonial legacies. Meanwhile French anthropology is now facing the challenge of reinventing itself as a ‘post-museum anthropology’.

L’articolo presenta alcune tappe fondamentali, politiche e culturali, del processo di formazione dell’associazione indigena Pankararé a San Paolo, Brasile. L’articolo si svolge attraverso le parole di uno dei protagonisti della costruzione del nucleo urbano Pankararé, la leader della associazione Alaìde Pereira Xavier Feitosa. Il racconto di Alaide si muove tra la zona urbana di San Paolo e la terra d’origine situata nello stato di Bahia, per ripercorrere il cammino di costruzione di spazi indigeni e rivendicazioni di cittadinanza differenziata che definiscono la loro legittimità nei percorsi della memoria e nelle pratiche rituali.

Postfazione: uno sguardo dalle città africane
Authors: Schirripa Pino
Published: June 2024

La diffusione del pentecostalismo e la crescita degli aderenti ha assunto negli ultimi decenni dimensioni considerevoli che ne hanno fatto il movimento cristiano a più altro tasso di crescita a livello mondiale. Sebbene conosca una sua diffusione anche nelle aree rurali, è in quelle urbani che conosce uno sviluppo maggiore. Tra i fattori che ne hanno favorito la diffusione vi è certamente la flessibilità dell'idioma pentecostale che permette di adattarsi ai vari contesti locali. Diversi studiosi hanno evidenziato come versioni oggi più in crescita del pentecostalismo presentino nella dottrina, nelle predicazioni e nelle pratiche elementi coerenti con la prospettiva neoliberista oggi egemonica in larga parte del pianeta. Partendo dagli articoli presenti in questa sezione, il contributo intende riflettere su queste questioni, concentrandosi principalmente sul fenomeno per come si presenta nelle aree urbane.
The universities of Manchester and Helsinki: Different paths
Authors: Green Sarah
Published: June 2024

Comparing the experience of neoliberal reform at the Universities of Manchester and Helsinki shows that not all forms of neoliberalization are the same, despite the similarities in structural changes. In this case, the key difference has to do with the the social value attached to the content of scholarship, and to what universities do. In Manchester, the reforms were in the name of trying to achieve excellence, full stop; in Helsinki, the reforms were in the name of trying to achieve excellence for a reason: to better serve scholarship and the social good. This difference suggests that there is nothing inevitable about neoliberal reform: the outcome is contingent, and that generates hope.
Education and neoliberalism in Yucatan, Mexico
Authors: Vargas-Cetina Gabriela , Ayora-Diaz Steffan Igor
Published: June 2024

Under neoliberalism, at least in Mexico, education has been recast as a service that is to be sold for money, and not as a right of all Mexicans. The economy itself is now seen as a services economy, where everything is expected to make money. Here we reflect on some of the implications of current education reforms on our work at the Autonomous University of Yucatan.
Do not become an idiot: A comment on neoliberalism and labour relationships within higher education
Authors: Dalakoglou Dimitris
Published: June 2024

As neoliberalism takes over academia, there is struggle going on. This is a struggle to keep the academic institutions as free as possible from “idiotic” (i.e. self-interested) forms of behaviour and especially from reproducing socially and politically such practices.

Let our Profs be Profs
Authors: Mitchell Jon P.
Published: June 2024

This contribution traces the impact of research and teaching audit on university life in UK. It focuses on how the audit regimes generate an entrepreneurial subjectivity among academics, thereby transforming what it means to be a “Prof”. It argues that anthropology has a role to play in drawing attention to the significance of these transformations of subjectivity.

Confessions of an EV (expert evaluator)
Authors: Palumbo Berardino
Published: June 2024

If audit is a socio-political system, any analysis or evaluation of its effects should consider also the specific contexts and the peculiar historical contingencies in which practices associated with it apply. In this comment I try to grasp some consequences these practices can have on the specific academic field of the Italian anthropological sciences.
Primo e i suoi fratelli: Il sistema nominale konzo fra due modi d’individuazione
Authors: Zavaroni Cristina , Consigliere Stefania
Published: June 2024

Fra i Bakonzo del Rwenzori, Uganda, a ogni nuovo nato viene attribuito un nome che ne indica la posizione di nascita in relazione agli altri fratelli o sorelle già presenti nella discendenza materna. Il nome non è quindi l’etichetta della specificità e dell’unicità dell’individuo ma la descrizione di una posizione relazionale all'interno di un gruppo di discendenza uterina ed è dunque comune a molte persone. Altri nomi vengono poi aggiunti, nel corso della vita, in base agli eventi biografici, alle nuove configurazioni relazionali, alle qualità individuali e all’appartenenza religiosa. Il sistema nominale konzo contribuisce dunque a una «individuazione relazionale» e in esso si riflettono, in questi anni, le nuove tensioni che emergono nell’incrocio fra differenti logiche antropopoietiche.
L’emergenza delle malattie rare: Genealogia di una categoria che ha rimodellato i confini del sapere biomedico
Authors: Lesmo Ilaria
Published: June 2024

Questo lavoro indaga la categoria delle “malattie rare” nella sua dimensione genealogica, procedendo ad un’indagine storico-culturale della sua comparsa e della sua successiva ri-significazione in vari contesti. Esplorando la “provenienza” (in senso foucaultiano) di questo concetto è possibile recuperare il ruolo socio-culturale che le malattie rare hanno assunto al momento della loro apparizione e quello che esse rivestono oggi sia in ambito politico-economico, sia in termini epistemologici. Per condurre simile disamina è stato necessario retrocedere sin alla fine dell'Ottocento, quando il mercato statunitense del farmaco iniziò a definirsi in base ad una complessa interazione tra le attività produttive delle aziende farmaceutiche e le attività di supervisione della pubblica amministrazione. In questa fase che, secondo alcuni studiosi, fu caratterizzata dal passaggio da una “medicina di tradizione clinica” ad una “industriale”, si crearono discorsi in grado di rappresentare la “malattia” in termini economico-statistici, costringendo in spazi marginali gli utenti “non sufficientemente redditizi” per il mercato del farmaco. Ciò indusse alcuni attori ad ideare dispositivi socio-culturali che potessero rendere conto della loro presenza: i concetti di “farmaco orfano” prima, e di “malattia rara” in seguito svolsero tale compito. Quando la categoria di “malattie rare” si diffuse nel contesto europeo (ed internazionale), tuttavia, essa subì una profonda ri-significazione, risultando principalmente associata a criteri clinico-epidemiologici. Le “malattie rare” iniziarono così a rivestire ben altra funzione dal punto di vista socio-culturale. Mobilitate principalmente dalle case farmaceutiche decise a trovare nuove nicchie di mercato, esse vennero ben presto rielaborate dalle pubbliche amministrazioni che supportarono le compagnie produttrici in tale obiettivo. Nelle normative pubbliche dedicate alle “malattie rare”, ma soprattutto negli ambiti accademici e scientifici, esse subirono quindi ulteriori trasformazioni, conducendo infine ad una vera e propria riplasmazione dell’ambito d’azione biomedico.

Caring across borders: The politics of belonging and transnational health
Authors: Raffaetà Roberta
Published: June 2024

Health care supply, demand and responsibility are increasingly becoming transnational. More people seek care beyond state borders, while, at the same time, most health systems are still nationally organized. Though most of socio-anthropological literature focuses on “health tourism”, this article considers migrants’ health travels at the junction between the neoliberal framework of global health and politics of belonging. It explores the transnational medical trajectories of Moroccans and Ecuadorians living in Italy to take care of family/reproductive health. On one hand, parents’ transnational practices are influenced by “situations of belonging” – or not belonging – that they experience in Italy, including in medical encounters. On the other hand, migrants enact tactics to navigate the neoliberal framework of care. The article highlights the need for the development of a transnational framework to regulate the increasing transnational dimension of healthcare able to mitigate (rather than increase) economic and social gaps between states.
An expert in peripheries: Working at, with and through the margins of European anthropology
Authors: Martínez Francisco
Published: June 2024

This research explores the relationship between knowledge production and place by studying different notions of disciplinary and personal peripherality. In an auto-ethnographic manner, the author discusses some of the power relations at work and the politics of representation of an anthropology being done at the margins of European scholarship. By analysing his own professional trajectory, the author surmises that the question of centre or periphery highly depends on the perspective applied (i.e., methods, labour conditions, institutional support, funding, the scale, access to jobs…). Also, he argues that there is a distinct form of reflexivity at the margins, as well as a distinct temporal regime – characterised by discontinuity. To contrast and complement his personal insights, the author invited fifteen scholars working in Estonia to share their experience of researching “at the margins”. Based on their responses, the author concludes by admitting that being at the periphery is relevant, yet circumstantial – something to be aware of, yet not definitive or a determinant. The article contributes to the discussion on the need to differentiate, contextualise and problematise the question of the academic marginality, making this issue more nuanced by putting the ethnographic focus on the conditions of possibility among practitioners and the state of being peripheral.

The anthropologist and the interdisciplinary projects: What kind of collaboration?
Authors: Stoica Georgeta
Published: June 2024

In this paper I discuss the role of the anthropologist within an interdisciplinary project Best Combat (Beluga Sturgeon Community Based Tourism) whose scope was to bring together experts from different countries with the aim of studying the impact of the sturgeon fishing ban on the communities of the Danube Delta (Romania). My reflections are related to the considerations that emerged during my collaboration with the Best Combat researchers and after the end of the project in an attempt to continue the interdisciplinary collaboration in search for European funding to start a new project.
US surrogacy: An interview with Zsuzsa Berend
Authors: Berend Zsuzsa , Guerzoni Corinna Sabrina
Published: June 2024

This paper is a partial transcription of a long conversation between the sociologist Zsuzsa Berend (University of California, Los Angeles) and the anthropologist Corinna Sabrina Guerzoni (Western Fertility Institute, Los Angeles) on US surrogacy. It is the outcome of an interview occurred on 6th October 2017 in Los Angeles, transcribed and revised by both the authors. The text analyzes some fundamental concepts that Berend explored in her book The Online World of Surrogacy (2016) and offers some food for thought to read the US commercial surrogacy with other lenses. Berend’s study offers an in-depth analysis of compensated surrogacy in the US and unique perspective for a better understanding of the experiences and points of view of the women directly involved in this assisted reproductive practice.

Beyond the fingerprints: From biometric to genetics
Authors: Solinas Pier Giorgio
Published: June 2024

Aside to the demographic screening, a deeper biosocial interest in India can be observed on the scale of groups and subpopulations. Several agencies (university consortia, departments of human forensic genetics), are pursuing the inspection of population bio-history, and genotyping. Most of the results concern the genetic structure, and admixtures, in a phylogenetic net connecting clades and sub-clades. Two large ancestral stocks are supposed at the origin of the demographic mosaic. The first of these, Ancestral North Indians (ANI) had its centre in a western Euro-Asian area, and the Middle East. The second, called ASI, Ancestral South Indians, centred in the Andaman Islands, but prevalent in South India. Under this perspective, the authenticity is associated, with autochthony: the “true” Indians are those who first populated the territory. Thus, adivasis label (aboriginals) designates the “originals”. Their roots, both on the bio-genetic and cultural level, belong to the deepest layer of the variegated Pan-Indian scenario. This simplified version coexists with a divergent theory linked to modernized frames of the classic hierarchical background. In a seminal study M. Bamshad showed as the social pyramid corresponded to a distribution the Y chromosome heritage. The highest rate of markers of haplogroup R1a1 was found among the top castes, and lowest in the Shudras and outcastes. The supporters of Hindu supremacy wear the R1a1 brand as a symbol of identity that confirms the Vedic myth in which society is depicted as a body (where the limbs represent the different classes), supporting a renewed image of national solidarity.
Candomblé, intolleranza e razzismo ai tempi di Bolsonaro: La storia si ripete?
Authors: Barba Bruno
Published: June 2024

I seguaci del culto afro-brasiliano del candomblé si sentono oggi più che mai minacciati da vari pericoli, in particolare dall’aggressività delle chiese evangeliche. Il contributo pone alcune domande e formula alcune ipotesi da approfondire. È lecito chiamare in causa, per la situazione attuale, l’affiorare di nuove forme di razzismo? Il razzismo brasiliano, questa è l’ipotesi di ricerca, per il suo carattere fluido e ubiquo, interconnesso ad altri meccanismi di oppressione, assume anche l’aspetto di razzismo religioso? Se è vero poi che il candomblé si è trasformato da religione etnica a religione universale bisognerebbe opporsi o no alla reiterata percezione che si possa identificare un rapporto vincolante tra religione ed etnia? E, ancora, che ruolo svolgono le attuali contingenze socio-politiche, dovute al legame - mai ufficialmente dichiarato - del presidente Jair Bolsonaro e della sua famiglia al fondamentalismo evangelico, che si presenta come grande rivale e persecutore del culto afro-brasiliano? Senza entrare nel merito del dibattito politico, per il quale non si posseggono gli strumenti interpretativi, cercherò quindi di illustrare, nel corso del report, su quali linee di ricerca sto lavorando e su quali interrogativi, formulando alcune ipotesi appena abbozzate che vorrei condividere e quindi approfondire.
