Non solo memorie, ricordi e scritti di circostanza, quindi, ma - direbbe Gramsci "cose da prendere sul serio", come quelle con cui l'antropologo (ma anche il narratore) che si omaggia con questo libro, ha cercato - e ancora cerca - di fare i conti per una vita intera.

Il "Museo delle identità della Sardegna" ha negli intenti dei promotori l'obiettivo di offrire "la storia della costruzione dell'identità dei sardi, o delle differenti identità dei sardi", sia attraverso "un approccio tematico, rivolto a mettere in luce le principali articolazioni del discorso identitario e i loro contenuti simbolici", sia attraverso un approccio "storico, diretto ad esaminare le varie fasi in cui si è sviluppata la ricerca di identità nella Sardegna degli ultimi due secoli". Se l'amministrazione regionale ha un tale intento, anche solo per questo la questione diventa importante. In questo volume si riportano gli atti di un seminario tenuto nella Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell'Università di Cagliari in collaborazione con l'Università di Sassari e con l'ISRE di Nuoro, nel dicembre del 2005. In fondo, un'appendice di brevi opinioni di scrittori sardi che hanno accettato di dire la loro su questo tema, come una sorta di inizio di 'rilevazione'.

Analyzing the narratives about the admittance to the mines and the encounter with unknown underground worlds, we will see how different geographical origens of the miners significantly influences their relationship with the mining work. The article show how the different cultural capital of the miners is involved in their interpretation of encounters with unknown environments. Different conception of work produce different conception of mining world, influencing the way in which the miners feel the risk and the domestication of mining space.

A part of the teachers believed that field research is not a “real job”. Starting from Gramsci's reflections about relations between intellectual and manual work, we will take into account the different conceptions of time, space, and work operating in the neoliberal school, in the common sense of teachers and executives, and in the ministerial “gray literature”. In the project, operate two different conceptions of “learning by doing”. The first is based on a functionalist approach that uses practical jobs to acquire skills connected to neoliberal division of labor; In the second, the fieldwork can produce a critical point of view about concept of work. The article shows how the informal strategies of ethnographic research can produce an oppositional practice that re-negotiate the ideological assumptions of functionalist and neoliberal approach carried on by the educational State's policies.

The setting of life histories is conceived like a “place of silence”, in which technical tools and ethnographer’s skills contribute to reduce the background noises. However, in ethnography, “silence” can be read not only as absence of communication – although that could also be assumed as significant (Basso 1970) –, but as an aural field to explore, with its soundscapes and corporeal signals. Starting from Michael Herzfeld’s challenge (2006), who suggests to re-think the sensory ethnography in order to «resensitize» anthropology as a whole, this article proposes a tranche de vie of Giovanni, an elderly miner from Sardinia. The ethnographic description focuses on the voice of Giovanni, and the aural spectrum of the place and the bodies involved, recording them by a videocamera. The «silence full of noise» (Cage 1977: 221) that emerges during the “deferred listening” of the video allows to extend the thick description of Giovanni’s remembrance.

After the decommissioning of the last metal mine (1993), the environmental remediation becomes a strategic issues in which “Environment”, “Territory” and “Health” are mobilized by local people in the struggle for the jobs. The mine becomes a symbolic place to represent new forms of conflict that claims a “healthy” and “clean” work. The healthiness of 'environment 'is played as key issues of a struggle for resources that attempts to recomposition of the class fragmentation that former miners had to cross after the corporations disinvestments.

thinking of, we will be dealing with two case studies that investigate the relationship between mobility and religious identities. The first case study focuses on mobility across
Greek and Albanian border regions, whereas the second investigates migration from rural areas of Morocco to rural areas of central Sardinia (Italy). The theoretical ground in
which the research is situated merges approaches on migration to southern Europe (Grillo and Pratt 2002, Cesari 2002), approaches on borderlands, and reflections on boundaries as analytical tools (Donnan and Wilson 1999), and finally focuses on the social meaning of religious identity.

The focus will be placed on the start of their careers as miners, in order to understand how different their biographical trajectories have been. With regard to the first group working in mine represents at the same time the main life goal and the beginning of a trial to become a man. The second group, instead, commute from the field to the mine or keep also a flock of sheep. So, the «ethic of miners» overlaps with another concept of work belonging to peasant and pastoral world-view. This capability to move between different purviews allows them to play strategically among different jobs.

sulle zone di commercio più che su quelle di insediamento. L'analisi verte sul carattere delle migrazioni
dal Marocco nel centro Sardegna (dispersione territoriale e permanenza del commercio ambulante), per concludere con le connessioni che le strategie commerciali e insediative dei migranti suggeriscono con alcuni mutamenti demografici in corso nelle zone indagate.
