Disoccupazione e società: nuovi significati e nuovi profili nell’epoca della flessibilità
digital

Anno:
2006
With the end of modern society, new issues arise and link to unemployment: the growing instability
that brings about (and entwine with) uncertainty and modifies the relationship subject-society;
new inequalities and new terms of social protection; the elements of integration and social bonds that
are under discussion and ask the subject new types of responsibility in and towards the society. The
article aims at analysing unemployment with reference to social change by discussing its new characters
and defining the new work-life balances which are under construction at individual and societal
level.

Comunicazione interculturale e analisi sociologica: come e perché?
digital

Anno:
2006
This essay concerns some new concepts that can help sociological theory interpret globalisation
and multicultural societies. Its key-concept is intercultural communication, largely used in communication
studies, studies on intercultural relationships, and linguistics. The essay proposes an integration
of a sociological theory of communication with some of these studies, explaining and analysing
the different forms of intercultural communication which can give a more precise meaning to the
processes of globalisation and to multicultural contexts. The historical background of these processes
and contexts is the expansion of modern European society, which is interpreted as functionally differentiated,
following Luhmann’s social systems theory. In contrast with the dominant forms of ethnocentrism
which have continuously shaped intercultural communications between the functionally differentiated
European society and the other societies in the world, new theories propose a form of
intercultural dialogue. The meaning of such a dialogue is defined in two versions, transcultural and
cosmopolitan: the comparison between these versions enlightens their different features and problems.
Finally, the reasons for a sociological interest in these theories are discussed, with reference to
explanations of globalisation and multicultural society.

Oltre il Panopticon? Foucault e la videosorveglianza
digital

Anno:
2006
Foucault’s figure of the Panopticon has exercised a considerable influence over the surveillance
studies in the past decades. The article explores, both theoretically and empirically, the applicability of
the Foucault’s Panopticon to the practices of public video surveillance. In particular, the paper aims to
understand if the metaphor of the Panopticon is still useful to explain contemporary surveillance.

Amici per guarire: i Gruppi Anonimi dei 12 Passi
digital

Anno:
2006
This article presents a case study that considers a particular self-help mutual-aid group:
Alcoholics Anonymous. On the empirical level, the research is conducted through the partecipant
observation method. Starting from a briefanalysis of these types of associations, both from the point
of view of their evolution and from the point of view of the sociologists, the author tries to analyse
how the Twelve Steps groups specifically work and what their cure method consists of. This study
aims at demonstrating how the recovery method used in these groups (and in general in all groups
that use Twelve Step Programs) could be considered, to every extent, an effective alternative therapy.

La società come istituzione
digital

Anno:
2006
A key point in the researches on institutions is the place they have in the social system.
Especially sociology wonders which institutional shape is emerging in the contemporary society.
This paper looks through the meaning of ‘institution’, and then the social evolution of institutions,
by underlining the contributions of sociology, law and economics. State and society are
part of a complex link, in which State plays a subordinate role.

Verso un paradigma personalizzante delle istituzioni sociali
digital

Anno:
2006
On the basis of relational sociology a new paradigm personalizzante (?) of social institutions is outlined here: it links the reformulation of AGIL and M.S. Archer’s erergenziale (?) paradigm asserting that the person emerges in the interaction with social institutions that precedes and exceeds. In the actual new globalized context, the comprehension of the relation between the human person and the institutions passes through a change of the classical model of socialisation.

Morfogenesi e riflessività. Alcune condizioni per parlare sociologicamente delle istituzioni
digital

Anno:
2006
Through the fundamental concepts of habitus and reflexivity, the author analyses both the
heuristic role and the limits of Margaret Archer’s work for the maturation of present sociological
theory and for the change of the way in which the sociology studies the institution. In fact,
the relative dependence between the reflexivity of the internal conversation and the reflexivity
of the structures lets the sociologist choice between an “institutional” perspective and a theoretically
autonomous and specifically scientific perspective.

Intorno alla genesi delle istituzioni. Le domande della tradizione sociologica e l’elemento drammatico del processo di riforma
digital

Anno:
2006
Through the analysis of sociological thought of Durkheim, Weber and Spencer, the author
focuses on the complexity and dramatic element of the modern institutional process, which has
these characteristics in the phase whether of institutionalisation or of de-institutionalisation. So
this suffering process, which has its last meaning in the value, can not be reduce in its explanation
in analytic schemes which have a mechanistic nature.

Mutamento e istituzioni: alcuni esempi critici
digital

Anno:
2006
Economic and social changes and common values shift involve a parallel change of institutional
structures. But institutions are often very hard to change. This difficulty can be remarked
by analysing three topics: first of all, the subsidiarity principle and local agencies in the
European governance; then, political power and public administration in Italy; finally, the relationship
between European parliament and political parties.
