La signoria di Arena in Oltrepò. I Beccaria e la forza della comunità (secoli XIII-XVI)

The lordship of the Beccaria, a branch of the great family from Pavia, on Arena Po, was established at the end of the thirteenth century, taking advantage of both the financial difficulties of the small municipality and the power of the family in Pavia. It was meant to last for centuries. Managed in a consortium form by various Beccaria exponents, it encountered difficulties also in relation to the political events of the duchy. Various documents are examined to investigate the nature, modalities and reality of the relations between the lords and the land in the final centuries of the Middle Ages, especially from the fiscal, economic and agricultural point of view.

Helhetlige tjenestetilbud i en liten kommune

One of the three municipalities that participated in the ROPIT project was a relatively small one. In this chapter, we take a closer look at how the distinctive features of a small municipality can affect how services are provided to persons with dual diagnoses. It seems as though the work is characterized by collaboration between service providers and service recipients as well as a flexible and pragmatic approach within the services, but such flexibility is not explicit in the relation between the municipality’s other services. However, this is not a unique situation for small municipalities. There is reason to believe that larger municipalities do not necessarily provide better services for persons with dual diagnoses. Yet how they choose to organize their services according to given goals and priorities in order to achieve coordinated services will vary.

Settler Colonialism and the Capricious Seizure of Unwanted Land, or How the Huni Kuin were Expelled From Plácido de Castro, Acre, Brazil

Situated in the Mesoregion of the Acre River, Plácido de Castro is a small municipality in the Brazilian state of Acre. In 2015, with the consent of the authorities, a group of people of Huni Kuin ethnicity occupied an abandoned, state-owned piece of land in the municipal territory, namely, the Parque Ecológico. For two years, the Huni Kuin group has lived in the Parque Ecológico, decontaminating and revalorising the land. Afterwards the Huni Kuin have been gradually dispossessed of the occupied land via various coercive actions, some of which were backed by the authorities. In this paper, the authors draw upon media releases as well as an interview with Hunk Kuin cacique Mapu, in order to signify the events in terms of a violent performance of settler colonialism in the face of the legitimate reclamation of Indigenous sovereignty over Brazilian land. In particular, they look at the ways in which political authorities, police forces, social services, and the broader non-Indigenous society unanimously cooperate towards the total effacement of Indigenous bodies, communities, and subjectivities from the land.
