- Cirese 101: Rereading Antonio Gramsci’s “Observations on
Folklore”
Authors: Antonio Maria Pusceddu, Filippo M. Zerilli (eds)
Pages: 7 - 86
Abstract: This Anniversary Forum commemorates the figure and work of Alberto Mario Cirese (1921-2011), a prominent Italian anthropologist, on the 101st anniversary of his birth. Cirese’s reading of Gramsci has been highly influential. For this reason, the forum is built around the re-edition of the English translation of Cirese’s essay Gramsci’s Observations on folklore: Conceptions of the world, spontaneous philosophy and class instinct. The essay is followed by short critical interventions of attentive readers of Gramsci’s anthropology: Kate Crehan, Riccardo Ciavolella, Giovanni Pizza. The forum ends with a contribution by Jorge A. González, who recalls his encounter and relation with Cirese, while offering new historical insights on Cirese’s teaching, study and research activities in Mexico.

- Lombrosians and lombrosianism in Brazil
Authors: Livio Sansone
Pages: 87 - 109
Abstract: Cesare Lombroso and his "positive school" of criminal anthropology were highly influential in the formation of the social sciences and ethnographic sensibility in Brazil. Rather than carefully read or analysed, Lombroso and his school were cited, interpreted and somewhat creolized according to modalities specific to the socio-racial context of Brazil, revealing significant historical entanglements between social scientists in Italy and Latin America (as shown by the sojourns of the Italian scholars Guglielmo Ferrero, Gina Lombroso and Enrico Ferri in 1907-1910). The complex and never passive process of reception and reinterpretation of Lombrosian ideas was characterized by a dynamic of attraction and rejection. This article examines the reception and influence of "Lombrosianism" in Brazil, showing how and why such influence gradually vanished in the 1930s, to disappear after the Second World War.

- How ethical is ethicality' Cultural interpretations along the ethical
Canadian diamond supply chain
Authors: Linda Armano
Pages: 111 - 139
Abstract: The mining industry has been overwhelmed by concerns related to both soil and water pollution and unethical management of work organization and human rights. Tracing the cultural interpretations of the concept of ethics related to the Canadian diamonds, this contribution problematizes the meanings of the certification of Canadian ethical diamonds and their traceability along the supply chain. Specifically, the author highlights that the further away from the Canadian mining context the sharper the concept of ethicality embodied in the Canadian diamonds, thanks to advertising narratives, while the closer to the investigation context, the more the concept of ethicality becomes blurred, heterogeneous, fragmented and difficult to understand. In particular, the contribution is based on a multi-sited and multi-scale ethnographic research in Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, and in an Italian jewellery store that sells diamonds extracted in the Canadian region. The author noticed that the Italian interviewees who sell and purchase Canadian diamonds are loyal to the advertising rhetoric on Canadian ethical diamonds, whereas particular professional categories employed by the multinationals in the mining context in the Northwest Territories avoided talking about ethical diamonds. The contribution aims to understand the meaning of this reticence in the mining context analysed.

- Ecological Transition vs Heritage' Common goods, energy transition and
sustainable development in Sardinia
Authors: Tatiana Cossu
Pages: 141 - 159
Abstract: In this contribution, I reflect on the relationship between the ecological transition, sustainable development, and the protection and safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage. The environmental question and the heritagization processes have several aspects in common, starting with their emergence as supranational issues in late industrial societies, but they can also present areas of friction that allow the detection of development models, visions of the future and different interests on goods and values at a local and national/global level, in contexts of socio-economic imbalances. To examine the issue, I analyze some socio-environmental conflicts in Sardinia (Italy), in which civic committees, movements, and associations act in defense of the common goods by opposing works (wind farms, drilling), projected towards toward a model of economic “development” which is considered “sustainable”, based on the exploitation of relatively “clean” (methane) or renewable (wind) energy sources. In particular, this contribution examines the practices and the discursive strategies adopted by the parties involved, focusing attention on the different ways of using environmental issues, and those related to heritage.
