The subject of this paper is the importance of certain narrative elements to ethnographic writing and especially to reporting qualitative research based on observation (both participant and otherwise) and interviews (Czarniawska, 2004). I should point out that the following considerations are essentially methodological and theoretical. A further, more practical, text will follow in the near future.

Prayer as Relationship. An Analysis of Padre Pio Prayer Group Leaders, di Mario Salisci
Introduction: prayer, a brief literature analysis Prayer was for a long time a substantially unknown subject, often considered a superstition, a repetition of empty verbal formulas and therefore not worthy of scientific study. However, it is difficult to deny that it is a primary cultural object and a very common form of behavior. As Wuthnow says: «Our emphasis on prayer stemmed from the fact that ...

Recruitment Processes to Teaching and Research Positions in Institutions of German Higher Education: Basic Features, Historical Perspectives and Present Problems, di Claudius Gellert
Introduction
The structural and functional changes occurring within the Western university systems have been manifold and considerable. However, many of these changes have largely remained dubious and opaque. For instance, the notion of the universities being above all research centres is sometimes treated almost like a sacred principle. Apart from the fact, however, that the European university ...

The Italian Sociological Tradition, di Roberto Cipriani
1. The far off beginning
The vigour and rigour of Italian sociology’s development can only be explained by going back to the past, to the time of the Enlightenment in the 17th century, a movement begun in 1600 by Galileo Galilei, by the Florentine Accademia del Cimento («trying again and again») and by the Accademia degli Investiganti in Naples. In addition, a number of Italian scholars ...

Critical Nature: Regenerating Human Experience and Society Through Gardening
Introduction Nature and society have traditionally been separate in modernity, where the identity of the latter was founded on the exclusion of the former from its boundaries. This separation is rooted in the history of Christianity and modern science, as well as in the affirmation of both the industrial society and the discipline that was born in the nineteenth century in order to understand its ...

Introduction
The integration of immigrants into the advanced industrial societies, particularly the European ones, is a matter of current and urgent concern.

Neoliberal education reforms, student activism and youth conditions in Italy. Findings from a case study on three Italian student organisations, by Lidia Lo Schiavo
Introduction Young people are currently experiencing radical changes in their life conditions. In fact, a series of reforms in education and welfare (traced by scholars back to a «global transition regime») implemented over the last three decades have hugely impacted on youth conditions in general and on students’ livelihood and opportunities in particular (Woodman and Wyn 2014; France 2016).

Assessing the quality of argumentation in digital public spheres: a case study from Twitter @debatingeurope, by Fiammetta Corradi
Introduction In our national political arena, almost daily we witness logical contradictions, fallacious arguments and other dramatic violations of the norms of a democratic public sphere, not to speak of the increasing public use of swearwords and other outright deviations from the canons of a civic dialogue. The emergence of a worried, legitimate indignation for the low qualitative level of public ...

The Italian Political Crisis: Causes and Perspectives
Introduction
The present paper wishes to focus on a few aspects that, in our opinion, have played a crucial role in causing and gradually worsening the present severe crisis of the Italian political system. Needless to say, a political system cannot be considered as a separate entity from the wider context in which it is set. Having said this, we will therefore briefly hint to this context whenever ...

Costabile Antonio, Tagarelli Massimo
Legality, change and crisis, di A. Costabile and M. Tagarelli
Foreword
Legality as a pattern of behaviour and social practice, and most of all as a value, is strictly connected to modern society and its transformation. Linking legality to change widens the analytical perspective beyond both its deductive definition as a philosophical or juridical a priori and its reductive and merely negative definition as the opposite of illegality. Most notably, that ...
