Letteratura e scienze sociali: un confine aperto?
digital
Anno:
2008
«Science» and «literature» have been considered, for very long time, as two separate
domains because of their different relationship with «objectivity». This dicothomy has its roots
in the logocentric tendency of western thought and culture. After the social sciences «linguistic
turn» and the consequent adfirmation of a post-modernist and post-logocentric sensibility the
border between literature and (mainly social) sciences hase become more and more permeable
and the same distinction between the two spheres has been interpreted in rethorical terms, as a
difference between two genres of writing. This article explores reasons and paths that have led to
such revenge of the literary domain reflecting both at the epistemological and sociological level.

Scrittura e interstizialità in Edgar Morin e Marc Augé
digital
Anno:
2008
This article examines roles and aims of writing in Social sciences and in literature analysing
and comparing the works of the sociologist Edgar Morin and the athropologist Marc Augé. In
thei wide intellectual production, these authors, in fact, share the same tendency to use different
genres of writing. Beside of their scientific production, both Augé and Morin have published
also diaries, essays and, in Augé’s case, even novels. This paper try to read such tendency
in writing experiments as indicator of the authors’ capability to produce an interdisciplinary
research.

La scrittura dei fisici
digital
Anno:
2008
This paper contributes to studies on the social use of written communication by analysing
the relationship of physicists with writing. It addresses issues with particular regard to the
debate on whether or not the language used by scientists is comparable to literary language.
The basic idea is that in literary writing images are always only comments on the text, an interstitial
part of the message. Instead, when the text becomes a commentary on the images (captions,
comics), writing loses its literary character. Physicists make ample use of images (photographs,
tables, graphs) in their publications and presentations to conferences. A brief analysis
of empirical materials shows that physicists usually employ verbal language to support acoustically
or mentally a discourse which in itself is intrinsically iconic. They are subject to the ambiguity
having to rely on writing to state and solidify their knowledge claims while at the same
time being unable to use a literary style but only one interstitial to iconic instruments of communication.

Il terzo settore italiano: verso una partnership sociale?
digital
Anno:
2007
The title of this paper explains the reading key needed to analyse the Italian third sector,
namely to verify its internal inclination to the realisation of social partnership. The study of the
forms that the social partnership tends to assume is, as a matter of fact, object of a diffused
interest, witnessing the growing pluralization of the social subjects involved in personal and
intersubjective welfare actions. The route followed starts from the awareness of the internal differentiation
characterising the Italian third sector, analyses it under the sociological profile, puts
the theme of social differentiation in relation with the theme of social partnership, whose sociological
character is highlighted, and finally it proposes to offer some empirical indications concerning
the inclination to partnership of the subjects of the third sector with a particular insight
on the organised voluntary service connoting itself as a strategic component of the Italian third
sector.

Religione, politica e laicità
digital
Anno:
2007
The presence of ideology seems to be a common feature in the sociological perspective.
Therefore a dialectical debate is required. The policy as implementation of knowledge cannot
be considered at the same level of scientific work. Various existential aspects are in question in
the scientific field, especially when the religious identity is analysed, in terms of desacralization
and sacralization. Beyond civil religion à la Rousseau, other solutions are viable. But cultural
relativism is not outside the Church and it is in relationship with religious belonging. Finally a
non conflictual secularism is set out.

L’interazione quotidiana con l’altro. Le donne migranti e il lavoro di cura
digital
Anno:
2007
In Italy many immigrant women work in domestic services and they replace the role of
Italian women not only in typical domestic chores but also in taking care of the elderly and people
with disabilities. This article explores the relation between immigrant women and aged people
whom they take care of, starting from the point that in everyday life the social distance
between Italian and immigrants could become shorter and shorter. The research is based on indeep interviews to immigrant domestic workers who work and live with Italian aged people.
Referring to E. Goffman, the focus is on the organization of setting inside the house, the invasion
of territories of the Self, the type of communication and the language used, the existence of
a stage and a backstage. The findings point out that immigrant women enter into a close relation
with the Italian elderly: they become a sort of family member and they get involved in a
relation which is outside of the domestic work and which implies a high level of empathy.

Promuovere inclusione nelle scelte pubbliche. Teorie a confronto
digital
Anno:
2007
Political inclusion, meaning by that the direct involvement and participation of social actors
in the shaping of public policies, is today very much at the centre of debate of social sciences
and has been growingly practised by public bodies. Inclusion practices do represent an interesting
and new phenomenon concerning the functioning of our public bodies: their aim is to provide
institutions with a stronger legitimacy, to prevent conflict, and to get to know and successfully
govern increasingly complex social settings. The objective of the article is a) to analyse and
discuss the theories and practices underpinning political inclusion exercises by the direct
involvement of social groups (the theory of neocorporativism and of associative democracy); of
citizens (the theory of direct democracy and participatory democracy); of stakeholders (theory of
deliberative democracy); b) to assess the strengths and weaknesses of these political inclusion
models; c) and to point out issues within this area that necessitate further reflection and empirical
investigation.

Dismissione o reindustrializzazione? Prospettive di riuso dei siti produttivi in Valle Seriana
digital
Anno:
2007
In the world there are a lot of industrial facilities abandoned or under-used or at risk of
turning only in commercial or residential areas because the deindustrialisation due to globalization.
A number of researches and publications are made about regeneration of obsolete industrial
facilities, contaminated sites, brownfields. Nevertheless, a few of researches investigated
how to turn brownfields into jobfields avoiding deindustrialisation. That is a problem of public
participation, seeking environmentally sound sustainable solutions and imaging in the future a
new ecological way to industrial production. This could be the case of Valle Seriana (Italy), an
area among the Alpine valleys under threat of deindustrialisation in a province (Bergamo), that
is one of the most industrialised provinces of Europe.

La povertà di lunga durata: il caso italiano
digital
Anno:
2007
The objective of this paper is to capture those critical traits of long-term poverty that can help
policy-makers to design and evaluate social policies in this sector. This work is placed in the
frame of Leisering and Leibfried’s theory of life course, and starts by analysing its basic principles.
Special attention is devoted to the individualization principle, which is critically re-examined
with reference to long-term poverty. Then, longitudinal analysis has been applied to European
Community Household Panel data (1994-2001) in order to study individual life courses. The
results show a large distance between the North and the South of Italy, in terms of incidence of
persistent poverty, and rhythm of entry and exit from long-term poverty. As to socio-demographic
and economic factors that affect the dynamics of impoverishment or emancipation-frompoverty
processes, gender differences seem to be not very important, while differences in the
family composition undoubtedly play a more incisive role. The strongest impact is exerted by the
labour market, which shows the highest probabilities of getting out of a poverty condition or, in
the opposite hypothesis, of re-entering a situation of need; these outcomes appear reinforced in
the case of poverty states which last at least four years of the eight-year period here observed.
