Captured by the sun? Solarpunk, environmental, social, and governance criteria, and the pragmatics of green justification
This article examines how sustainability is rendered publicly legitimate in the current phase of green capitalism. Rather than treating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) as mere ideology or Solarpunk as external critique, it approaches both as modalities of public testing within a shared moral field. Drawing on Boltanski and Thévenot's sociology of justification, it argues that ecological legitimacy today is structured by a dominant nor…
Iconic futures
The climate crisis not only transforms ecosystems but also reshapes collective imaginaries of the future. While climate fiction (cli-fi) has emerged as a crucial site where societies process the unprecedented challenge of climate change, sociological approaches to emerging literary future imagination remain underdeveloped. Integrating Alexander's theory of iconicity with Mandich’s regimes of engagement with the future, this article conceptualizes…
The Elementary Forms of Practical Life
This article revisits the classical foundations of the concept of ‘social practice’ to reassess the epistemological and ontological assumptions underpinning the praxeological turn. Engaging critically with Marx, Weber and especially Durkheim, it shows how current practice theories often rely on partial readings of the classics, overlooking crucial resources for understanding coercion, differentiation and order. The paper argues that Durkheim's th…
Environmentality in (food) sustainability education
This article applies a governmentality perspective to approach education for sustainability. First, we outline governmentality through a Foucauldian lens and consider the emergence of environmentality in Italian education. Next, we analyse education for sustainability teaching and learning dynamics. Focusing on a pedagogic intervention carried out in a hotel-management vocational high school, we explore how school programming, classroom interacti…
Debating Veganism
The article aims to understand the controversial process of categorization at work in debates about the meaning of 'veganism' by focusing on one of the key sites for building contemporary public knowledge: Wikipedia. First, we suggest how the contested definition of 'veganism' is the result of the interweaving of two orders of frames which support and reinforce each other in the process of identity work underlying this particular social category.…
I don’t Teach Violence, I Teach Self-Control”; The Framing of Mixed Martial Arts Between Mental Health and Well-Being
This paper draws on conceptual and analytical tools from cultural sociology to analyze media representations of the MMA right after the murder of a twenty-year-old boy, that took place in a small village in central Italy by a gang of young men, two of whom frequented a MMA gym. While often characterized as violent and uncivilized, MMA has a core following of fans who watch and practice MMA out of an interest in the effects of the sport in terms o…
Individualization and Individualism
The aim of this article is to show how young people in Italy deal with the structural injunction to become individuals. While there is a substantial number of works on how institutions converge in promoting individualization and an 'entrepreneurial self', in this article we investigate how young people give shape and meaning to social relations in the framework of the injunction to become autonomous entrepreneurs of themselves. The research prese…
Tra palco e realtà. Note su un’etnografia del campo dei festival musicali italiani
This work focuses on a tradition of empirical research on popular music that is still underdeveloped in Italy, at least for what concern the particular musical event that is the ‘live concert’. It is progressively diversifying its forms and manifestations and multiplying its presence on the national territory and it is eventually become more and more an object of fecund analysis. As a typical moment of the representation of popular music, then, t…
Conditioning Weapons
Drawing on the inspiring work by Wacquant about apprenticeship in boxing, I present data generated from a five-year ethnographic study of one Wushu Kung Fu Association in Italy. Drawing on a Bourdieusian version of theories of social practice, the aim is to investigate in depth the relationship between habitus and materials, as it seems an underestimated issue both in Wacquant’s presentation and in most martial arts studies developed from his wor…
Brand New Consumers
While the role of material culture in reproducing everyday routines and representations has been widely studied, only specific social groups - most of which are based in the US or Europe - have been studied qua 'consumers'. This article draws on the heuristic potential of materiality for the analysis of consumption practices, and on Bourdieu's theory of practice and notions of habitus and hysteresis, to explore what happens when immigrants bring …
Entertainment is serious stuff
The Italian media system is characterised by a high level of political parallelism, which is usually investigated in relation to journalism but rarely in relation to TV entertainment. This article offers an analysis of one of the most influential Italian infotainment shows, which usually deals with sensitive social and political events. The conceptual framework of the article is the one offered by the mediatization of politics. We present the fin…
Food social practices
Given the growing transitional character of food, on its way from farm to fork, a rising number of people and institutions affect what we eat, governing how food is produced, consumed and distributed day-to-day. The sociological response to these transformations lead to a conceptualization of food as a dynamic field, crucial to the understanding of how we negotiate production and consumption as specific and meaningful sets of activities. In this …
Citizenship and multiple belonging. Representations of inclusion, identification and participation among children of immigrants in Italy
This article aims to explore how children of immigrants enrolled in higher secondary schools in Milan conceive and speak about citizenship. It illustrates how the formal, participatory and identity dimensions of citizenship come to be articulated in a complex and changeable way in relation to discourses and contexts. In particular, it attempts to look more closely at the transformations of belonging, which today seems to be composed of different …
