      Leggere la cittadinanza italiana attraverso l’arte contemporanea (Museo Riso, Palermo, 27 maggio 2026)

      La proiezione del video di Marina Sagona Diritto di Sangue – Rovescio di Sangue (2025) sarà l’occasione per uno scambio sull’impostazione della legge sulla cittadinanza italiana e sulle contraddizioni che genera nel trattamento degli immigrati in Italia, rispetto ai discendenti italiani nel mondo. Fondata sullo ius sanguinis, la legge crea un doppio binario, come registrato dalle interviste contenute nel video, in termini di diritti garantiti e diritti difficilmente concessi o negati, con conseguenze sulla società italiana e sulle relazioni internazionali. Nell’invitare, appunto, a leggere la legge nella sua complessità attraverso l’arte contemporanea, l’incontro si propone di offrire riflessioni su identità, appartenenza e convivenza nel presente, grazie all’analisi della storia migratoria e coloniale italiana.

    10. Why Every War Becomes an Oil Crisis: New Analysis by Jason Abbott

      New publication by Dr. Jason Abbott, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Montclair State University: “The Paradox of Oil Security: Why Every War Becomes an Oil Crisis, and How to Escape It”
      Published in Resilience.org

      The article examines why modern geopolitical conflict repeatedly produces global energy and economic crises, even when military objectives are achieved. Drawing on recent tensions surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, the piece argues that oil dependence itself has become a structural security vulnerability. It explores the relationship between war, energy infrastructure, supply chains, global markets, and political instability, while also considering how renewable energy and electrification may reduce future exposure to oil shocks.
