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 ...
Immigrants and Local Societies. Why and How to Measure Their Integration
Introduction The integration of immigrants into the advanced industrial societies, particularly the European ones, is a matter of current and urgent concern. With regard to Europe, and more specifically the European Union, migration from third countries is a quantitatively important phenomenon involving an increasingly large number of countries, both those that have historically been the destinations ...
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). The ...
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 ...
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 ...
The fates of social science journals in languages other than English: key issues for research communities and editorial policies, by M. Fernández-Esquinas
Introduction Scientific journals have been undergoing an important transformation fort the last two decades. Some of the main changes affecting them have been driven by digitisation, the globalisation of the publishing market, the emergence of metrics and the use of journals in research evaluation and science policy (Mackenzie 2007; Larivière et al. 2015; Moed 2006; Malsch and Tessier 2015). ...
Grounded Theory, Sensitizing Concepts, and Computer-Assisted Theory Building, di Roberto Cipriani
Introduction The presence of many – sometimes contradictory – theories is arguably considered a strength in the social sciences. The multitude of available theories today makes it seem impossible to have a grand theory, a specific unique theory that may be applied to all situations at all times in order to explain social phenomena. Therefore another solution becomes more and more reliable: ...
A case of inequality in the labour market: the situation of EU and non-EU migrants
Recent studies have shown that the economic crisis of 2008 has heavily affected migrants, thus exacerbating a disadvantage already present in many countries and further weakening the position of migrants in the labour market. This paper focuses on two distinct groups of migrants: EU citizens and those from third, «non-EU» countries. In our opinion, the legal status of «European» should provide ...
