Spatial mobility as lived citizenship
This article explores how intra-European youth spatial mobility intersects with the lived experience of citizenship among young Italians in a context characterised by precarity, neoliberal restructuring, and uneven access to opportunities. Drawing on two qualitative studies conducted between 2019 and 2021, it analyses the mobility trajectories of Italians aged 24–30 who engaged in mobility both within institutional frameworks, such as the Europea…
Moving the Apocalypse a Little Further Away’
The relationship that contemporary youth have with the future is marked by the intersection of multiple crises that affect their everyday experiences and future aspirations. In the face of this unfavourable socio-economic and existential condition, studies show that young people not only succeed in coming to terms with uncertainty and precariousness but also look to the future in terms of possibilities and hope. Within the framework of a more gen…

La forza trasformativa delle utopie quotidiane. Un’introduzione
The rapidity of recent social transformations and the suspension of much of the knowledge that has settled in our daily lives call for a twofold action: designing new political objectives of social justice and shedding light on analytical tools capable of both laying bare inequalities and the power structures that feed them, and outlining paths of transformative intervention. The link between sociology and utopia emerges here with particular clar…
‘Sentivo che stavo facendo la cosa giusta’. Aspettative di mobilità geografica e traiettorie socio-culturali degli studenti e delle studentesse in Italia
In the last decades, the increasing geographic mobility of young people (for educational, professional, and further reasons) has led scholars of youth studies to shift their interest towards this phenomenon for better understanding the new forms of transition to adulthood. Nevertheless, it seems that little attention has been paid until now to the interdependence between their geographic mobility and their family, territorial and cultural origins…
Growing up and belonging in regimes of geographical mobility. Young cosmopolitans in Berlin
The focus on geographical mobility is consolidating within youth studies. Mobility now increasingly characterises contemporary youth, and seems to play a crucial role in marking the transition to adulthood, conveying the complexity of youth cultures. Moving abroad represents an opportunity that fuels the transition to adulthood, by enabling young people to experience cultural diversity, experiment with practices of cosmopolitanism and reframe the…
The descendants of Italian migrants in Germany. Integration and discrimination at school
The relationship between ethnic discrimination and education represents an interesting perspective from which to investigate the integration of migrants’ descendants, as it enables us to identify early instances of discrimination and everyday practices that affect both their integration into the host society, and their life courses. The ethnic discrimination encountered by the descendants of migrants during their education is often characterized …
The strength of memory and the weakness of recognition
From a sociological perspective, the interplay between time and migration processes has long been overlooked. Yet time and temporalities represent a strategic dimension when it comes to investigating multicultural societies and the complexity of intercultural relations. This article has two aims: in terms of theory, it sets out to explore the link between memory and recognition as a strategic nexus for investigating multicultural contexts, while …
Mediterranean racisms. Connections and complexities in the racialization of the Mediterranean region
Non siamo clandestini. Siamo i nuovi cittadini'. Le mobilitazioni dei migranti tra percorsi di cittadinanza e istanze di riconoscimento
In the last few years there has been a significant increase in studies on migrants' associations and political participation. These analyses generally focus on the macro- social aspects of migrants' associations and political participation: scholars combine this phenomenon with the study of social capital and networks on one hand, and the concepts of civic community and political opportunity structure on the other. Nevertheless there is still a l…
(Re)creating the time-space of the city
The article explores the relationship between time-space experience and creativity, focusing on the everyday practices and strategies used by young people to tackle the contemporary processes of acceleration and compression of urban times and spaces. The dimensions of time and space are proposed in an explorative way, in order to investigate the fertility of the concept of creativity in sociological debate. The proposal is based on qualitative re…
Migrants' Associations and Their Attempts to Gain Recognition
In the late 1970s, Italy switched from being a source of émigrés to becoming a recipient of immigrants. The city of M ilan and its surrounding region led the way. A multitude of migrant associations sprang up as migrants pursued their quest for recognition as subjects and citizens. This study draws on the author's interviews with members of M ilan's migrant associations to examine the inner dynamics both between migrants within associations, and …
