The thesis aims to analyze the relationship between military spending and economic development on the basis of several approaches either theoretical or empirical. This research was proposed to achieve two objectives : the first is the classification of research on the topic of military spending reported to economic development and / or growth for the period from the 1960s and 1970 among the major schools of economic thought, the second, on the contrary, born of the desire to investigate the responses that the literature provided the theoretical modeling and empirical application of military expenditures reported to the growth consisted to conduct critical analysis of the mainstream literature and trying to find answers to unresolved issues and weaknesses identified in the approaches so-called heterodox also providing trails of research for future and further developments. For what concerns the first two objectives, that of classification among the major schools of economic thought, the relevant literature has been divided into two main sections : first, there are works that fall under the neo-classical, secondly, there are the heterodox works. The split between the two sections has been made on the basis of two dimensions : according to the methods used to perform the analysis and depending on the time scale. One of the most important conclusions of the thesis aims at a revaluation of the use of the methodology of input-ouput. ; La thèse vise à analyser les relations entre dépenses militaires et développement économique sur la base de plusieurs approches soit théoriques soit empiriques.

Pour ce qui concerne le premier des deux objectifs, celui de la classification parmi les principales écoles de la pensée économique, la littérature pertinente a été répartie en deux grandes sections : dans la première, il y a les travaux qui relèvent de l'approche néo-classique, tandis que dans la deuxième, on trouve les travaux hétérodoxes. La répartition entre les deux sections a été effectuée sur la base de deux dimensions : en fonction des méthodologies utilisées pour réaliser les analyses et en fonction de l'échelle temporelle. L'une des conclusions les plus importantes de la thèse vise à une réévaluation de l'utilisation de la méthodologie d'input-output

The essay discusses the testimonial aspects of the novels K. Relato de uma busca (2011), by Bernardo Kucinski and Não falei (2004), by Beatriz Bracher, through an interdisciplinary analysis, grounded on the contemporary discussion on memory, testimony, literature and authoritarianism, especially in the Latin American context, as well as on decolonial criticism and sociology. The work purpose is to read the literature of testimony as a form of political resistance to an epistemic violence underlying in the official rhetoric of silence about the Brazilian military dictatorship crimes (1964-85), and to read it as a narrative bearing that 'precarious knowledge' proper of traumatic memories. In this double sense, the essay relates the performative function and the formal characteristics of writing with the counter-epistemological proposal of an "ecology of knowledge" formulated by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, to think the novels as pieces of a possible 'ecology of memories'.

This volume proposes a rich body of contributions on the 'Other City', a theme so far little beaten but worthy of all our attention, which is imposed on the scene of international, modern and contemporary historiography, for its undeniable topicality. Throughout history, the city has always had to deal with social 'otherness', that is, with class privileges and, consequently, with the discrimination and marginalization of minorities, the less well off, foreigners, in short with the diversity of status, culture, religion. Thus the urban fabric has ended up structuring itself also as a function of those inequalities, as well as of strategic places for the exercise of power, of political, military or social control, of spaces for imprisonment, for health isolation or for the 'temporary' remedy for disasters. From the first portraits of cities elaborated and diffused on the principle of the fifteenth century for the purpose of political exaltation or for religious propaganda and for devotional purposes, which often, through increasingly refined graphic techniques, distort or even deny the true urban image, one arrives, at dawn of contemporary history, to the new meaning given by scientific topography and new methods of representation, aimed at revealing the structure and urban landscape in their objectivity, often raw and unexpected for those who, before then, had known the city through the filter of the 'regime' iconography. The representation of the urban image still shows the contradictions of a community that sometimes includes, and even exalts, diversity.

[EN] Massafra Castle's restoration project aims to preserve and enhance the monument, redeeming it from the current state of partial abandonment, with the scope to return it to the community. First, an in-depth study of an historical research was carried out together with the analysis of the monument' superficial and structural degradation to identify the adequate remedies. It was clear that "restoring only the stones" would have not been efficient and therefore finding a new purpose was necessary and essential. Finding a new scope for those kinds of architectures is a matter of great interest, because more than any other type of monuments, those are completely out of their historical context that gave them political, military and economic reason to be built. Therefore, following a sociological investigation, it emerged that the best solution would be create a connection between Massafra and cinematography: there are many cultural organizations in this area and most of them need more dedicated space. Massafra has already been chosen several times as a movie set by famous authors: Il Vangelo secondo Matteo by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Il Paese delle spose infelici by Pippo Mezzapesa and Amiche da morire by Giorgia Farina. This is how the MOVIE (Massafra Omni Vision between Innovation and Cultural Heritage) idea was born, a 360° cinema setting which is unique at a national level and that it would become part of larger cinematographic circuit already flourishing in the Apulia region. The project's feasibility was then evaluated from a logistic-economic point of view. Furthermore, given the Castle's location, the project proposes the reopening of ancient paths that connect the monument to the historical town centre and to the Ravine. The project also supports the restoration of rock settlements with its cave houses (currently completely collapsed) that surround the castle's foundation to divulge hospitality ; De Gennaro, T.; De Leo, D.

In connessione con i recenti orientamenti della storiografia internazionale, sempre più attenti al nesso scienza-imperialismo, questo lavoro prende in esame i meccanismi di formazione, nell'Italia liberale e durante il regime fascista, della conoscenza medica sulle malattie tropicali: un settore del sapere medico sviluppatosi a fine ottocento sulla base delle proposte teoriche di Patrick Manson, sollecitato dalle scoperte della batteriologia di Louis Pasteur e Robert Koch e dagli avanzamenti della parassitologia. L'intento del lavoro è indagare le connessioni che intercorrono tra le esigenze di governo dei territori d'oltremare e lo strutturarsi di questo nuovo settore del sapere medico, non solo delineando i poli di sviluppo della disciplina, le reti (locali e globali) che hanno contribuito alla loro formazione, ma mettendo in evidenza l'effetto di riconfigurazione dello spazio ("scientifico", geografico) che la nozione di "tropicale", fatta propria dalla medicina di fine XIX sec., porta con sé. Attraverso l'esame dei caratteri della sanità bellica delle campagne di conquista coloniali - in particolare del conflitto italo-turco e della guerra d'Etiopia - lo studio si interroga sulla relazione fra dimensione strutturale e forme congiunturali di sviluppo dei saperi medici, collocando le trasformazioni conosciute dalla sanità di guerra in colonia nel più ampio quadro dei processi di modernizzazione e specializzazione dell'istituzione militare, senza dimenticare gli effetti di discontinuità introdotti nella pratica medica dalla Grande Guerra. Guardando alla scienza come luogo di sedimentazione, oltreché di produzione, di idee e stereotipi razziali, e prestando attenzione alle dinamiche di circolazione dei saperi, il lavoro prende infine in esame le rappresentazioni che la letteratura medica offre sulla fisiologia e sui meccanismi funzionali dell'organismo ai "tropici" (quello del colono e quello del colonizzato), facendo emergere come la relazione tra organismo e ambiente - cioè tra europeo e il nuovo spazio di conquista e tra "indigeno" e il proprio ambiente di vita - costituisca un nodo simbolico attorno a cui si addensano le concezioni con cui la medicina si troverà ad affrontare il problema della diversità del vivente. A preoccupare i medici sia in età liberale, come in epoca fascista, è infatti la questione dell' "acclimatazione", dell'adattamento cioè del bianco al nuovo ambiente tropicale: un tema che offre ai clinici un vero e proprio strumento di lettura degli stati patologici dell'organismo al tempo dell'espansione coloniale otto-novecentesca; non l'organismo "statico" - anatomico, dell'anatomia comparata - ma l'organismo fisiologico, "in trasformazione" nello spazio ridisegnato dall'imperialismo europeo.

Much of the Camorra's literary production focuses on the aspects of military control of the territory and on predatory activities in politics and the economy. Less attention is paid to the social reproduction factors of organized crime groups. The aspects of mutuality and internal solidarity in the champs have never received a systematic and in-depth observation. This research instead proposes the analysis of the elements of legitimation and consent of the Camorra groups in the territories in which they are located. The welfare and its double is a work that is articulated through a rich system that uses quantitative and ethnographic methods: an approach located at the meeting point between sociology and anthropology in the analysis of social policies, which uses unpublished and difficult judicial documents availability. A demanding fieldwork in the Caserta area has in fact made it possible to decipher the forms of social assistance present: public and mafia ones. What emerges is the panorama of a criminal whole that ensures an incredible protection against affiliates and their families, which competes with the protections offered by public welfare. However, the results of this study show that it is precisely in the territories most affected by the mafia presence that new forms of social struggle are born. It is here, in fact - where criminal infiltrations affect welfare service contracts - that the most innovative social actions were born in defense of the weakest categories.
