L’intreccio tra la migrazione in Italia e la pratica della scrittura letteraria in lingua italiana accomuna le donne le cui storie, raccolte in lunghe interviste biografiche, sono presentate e analizzate in questo volume. La migrazione può configurarsi come esperienza di sradicamento e di solitudine, anche in ragione delle forme di esclusione attive nella società d’approdo. Ma la pratica della scrittura, nella nuova lingua, può essere strumento attraverso il quale costruire nuove appartenenze e sentire di poter avere, ancora, «un posto nel mondo», come afferma una delle donne intervistate. Le biografie raccolte mettono in crisi l’immaginario egemonico sulle “donne migranti”, popolato da stereotipi in cui si intersecano assunti razzisti, sessisti ed eurocentrici. L’esperienza della scrittura in migrazione viene interpretata e discussa come una pratica di soggettivazione, una pratica cioè attraverso la quale le donne migranti cessano di essere soggetti narrati e si rendono soggetti narranti, potendo così contribuire a ri-nominare e ri-significare i processi di costruzione e reificazione dell’alterità. «Questo è un libro in cui la sociologia è vivente. Promuove e articola la percezione di uno scarto fra le esperienze di chi questo mondo lo abita e i modi in cui le narrazioni più correnti le deformano. Promuove e articola curiosità e critica. È un libro molto bello. Io spero che lo leggano in tanti». Dalla Prefazione di Paolo Jedlowski

Science, Technology and Gender studies (STG) include the different approaches to feminist epistemologies, their current debates and also the theoretical analysis of different scientific controversies around cases that involve women's bodies and health, sex/gender, and techno-scientific practices. These studies are linked to the demand for another type of hybrid knowledge that revalorizes the practices, the embodied experience and care, as well as the subject positions traditionally excluded from the scientific community. The diversity of voices has allowed a plural knowledge in techno-scientific practices to emerge as well as the identification of gender, class, sexuality, race, functional diversity inequalities, for example. This has made possible a bioethical reflection which is not understood as abstract normative principles but linked to the practices and lived experience. Divided into three parts, this edited volume presents original and insightful research on STG from feminist epistemologies. The first part addresses fundamental theoretical questions that feminist epistemologies raise; and how they confront complex social problems, such as gender-based violence. The second part deals with research practices or processes, explicitly showing the relationship between science and policy. Finally, the third part presents some case studies that show the multidimensionality of the problems and the depth and richness of these analyses. The contributions included in the volume present original and in-depth research on local case studies within Spain. Not only challenging the hegemonic and global perspectives on different issues, this volume also opens up and enables discussion of these global narratives. This edited volume is a useful tool for researchers and university students in multiple fields such as gender studies, feminist epistemologies, STS, cultural history or transgender studies.

El presente trabajo, es un tema que se ubica, dentro de uno mayor llamado Inteligencias múltiples. Mi propuesta es desarrollar siete inteligencias prioritarias, acordes con el ideal constitucional (...desarrollar armónicamente, todas las facultades del ser humano. Art. 3). Al desarrollar estas siete capacidades (meta-normas), desarrollaríamos una cultura jurídica tal, que estimularía una conducta acorde con la legalidad y esto evitaría un sinnúmero de acciones, fuera del orden.

This book showcases the diversity of ways in which urban residents from varying cultural contexts view, interact, engage with and give meaning to urban nature, aiming to counterbalance the dominance of Western depictions and values of urban nature and design. Urban nature has up to now largely been defined, planned and managed in a way that is heavily dominated by Western understandings, values and appreciations, which has spread through colonialism and globalisation. As cities increasingly represent a diversity of cultures, and urban nature is being increasingly recognised as contributing to residents' wellbeing, belonging and overall quality of life, it is important to consider the numerous ways in which urban nature is understood and appreciated. This collection of case studies includes examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and reflects on the multi-dimensional aspects of engagements with urban nature through a biocultural diversity lens. The chapters cover several themes such as how engagements with nature contribute to a sense of wellbeing and belonging; the implications that diversity has on the provision, design and management of urban environments; and the threats inhibiting residents’ abilities to engage meaningfully with nature. The book challenges the dominant discourse, Western ideological understandings and meta-narratives of modernisation and unilineal urban transitions. A timely addition to the literature, Urban Nature: Enriching Belonging, Wellbeing and Bioculture offers an alternative to Western ideological understandings of nature and values and will be of great interest to those working in human and environmental urban ecology. It will also be key reading for students in the relevant fields of anthropology, development studies, geography, social ecology and urban studies.
