1.1Key Definitions
Susanne Lettow (2018, 13), a German Philosopher, explains that biocapitalism can be defined as the valorisation of materials derived from human bodies and non-human living beings, i.e. biocapital. Examples of biocapital include organs – such as ovaries and uteri, genes, and cells – such as blood, skin, and gametes. Lettow argues that the valorisation ...
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.

From Risk to Emergencies: Changes in Cultural and Communication Systems in the Digital Society
1 Risk, crisis and emergencies: cultural dynamics and changes A world without risk situations and events, crises and emergencies – regardless of their differentiated nature (social, economic, political and environmental) – is not conceivable, let alone possible.

Recruitment Processes to Teaching and Research Positions in Institutions of German Higher Education: Basic Features, Historical Perspectives and Present Problems, di Claudius Gellert

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: ...

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 ...

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 ...
