RISULTATI RICERCA

In Italia la pratica del teatro in carcere si è diffusa sin dagli anni Ottanta e gode oggi dell’apprezzamento del Ministero della Giustizia, che instaura forme di collaborazione con enti teatrali, culturali e locali e stipula protocolli di intesa a sostegno delle esperienze di teatro in molti istituti penitenziari. Questo volume trae origine da una ricerca sociologica svolta in 12 carceri italiani e si propone di evidenziare lacune e potenzialità, punti di convergenza e di attrito fra i principali attori del carcere (personale penitenziario e reclusi) riguardo alla concezione e alle funzioni dell’attività teatrale.

“Raccontiamo un’altra storia” is the name of a group formed within the penal institute by people motivated to carry out introspective work. This work aimed to stimulate people present to experience and tell their stories from a different point of view. This group explored the integration of different therapeutic techniques such as music therapy, collaborative use of the TEMAS test and analytical psychodrama. At the end of their journey, the group was capable of narrate a “slightly” different personal story from the one they had always told themselves. This has therefore become the moment when their history became a glance of perspectives.

Gambling is an important phenomenon, data from the Ministry of Health speak of a prevalence of 3% of problem gamblers, equal to 1,500,000 individuals in the total population (data from the Ministry of Health).These data cause some concern at an institutional level, so much so that plans aimed at the care and treatment of this form of behavioral addiction are now increasingly widespread.This article will explore the relationship between dissociation and pathological gambling, with a particular focus on the profi le of gamblers in prison and the impact of the prison context on dissociative experiences.Finally, we will discuss the importance of diagnosis and accessibility to alternative measures, treatment interventions and the importance of a positive physical and relational environment as prevention tools.

Il contributo analizza prima gli elementi positivi che emergono dai bassi numeri della detenzione di minori in IPM, anche nel confronto con il tasso di incarcerazione in altri paesi del Consiglio d’Europa, passa poi ad approfondire le più significative criticità della vita detentiva. Si sofferma poi sulle conseguenze dovute alla mancanza di un ordinamento penitenziario minorile e sulla necessità di un intervento normativo in materia ancora rinviato.

This article examines the impact of national context, i.e., cultural beliefs shared in a country and structural factors such as public policies, on individuals’ family care decisions, such as the number of children in the family or the time spent with them. I argue that although family care decisions are intimate, they are not private, because they are bounded by what individuals perceive to be possible in their family, workplace, and country contexts. I analyze two interrelated dynamics. First, national culture influences the relative valuation of care compared with paid work, via work devotion schemas built upon a gendered distinction between the public sphere of work and the private sphere of care. Second, culture and structure foster gendered expectations regarding who is expected to engage in care, and the devaluation of care is intimately connected to this gendered division of labor. Altogether, culture and structure contribute to the social construction of care in a country, in which individuals work-family decisions are deeply embedded.
