Cipriani Roberto

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 ...

Bartoletti Roberta

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 ...

Pellizzoni Luigi

The time of emergency. On the governmental logic of preparedness, di Luigi Pellizzoni

The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has elicited renewed attention to an approach to emergency which has come to the forefront in recent years, namely preparedness. Scholars have argued that its rationale is profoundly divergent from the securitarian outlook of prevention and precaution, entailing different techniques and ostensibly also a different, non – (or less) dominative, way of relating with the biophysical ...

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 ...

Lo Schiavo Lidia

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 ...

Greco Silvana

Visual artists in the German Democratic Republic and their cultural exchange with Italy. A brief overview, di Silvana Greco

Introduction Since the foundation of the German Democratic Republic (7 October 1949) and until its end (3 October 1990, accession to the FRG), there were different cultural exchanges between the visual artists – painters, graphic artists, designers, stage designers, sculptors – of the GDR and their colleagues in Italy. The cultural policy of the GDR was interested not only in the culture of the ...

Gläser Jochen

German universities on their way to performance-based management of research portfolios, di Jochen Gläser

Introduction I am indebted to Uwe Schimank for helpful comments. The rise of «new public management» (NPM) in higher education systems of many OECD countries is based on, and fuels, research evaluation as a political and management tool. Central tenets of NPM – that competition increases efficiency, that resources need to be allocated to the best-performing units, and that hierarchical management ...

Corradi Fiammetta

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 ...

Millefiorini Andrea

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 ...
