An Exploratory Cross-Country Study on Italian and Swedish Preschool Teachers’ Role in Supporting Children’s Mathematising During Play
This study examines how preschool teachers reflect on their role in challenging children’s mathematical thinking in play. The study was conducted with participants in Italy and Sweden, and data were collected through focus group discussions. We use Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and the concept of didactic sensitivity to understand how preschool teachers describe their support of mathematical thinking in children’s play and how they interact…
Ligatures and their leib-bound and socially mediated leib-bound ties – foundations for an actualization of Ralf Dahrendorf’s concept of life chances with recourse to Karl Popper’s theory of the three …
This essay deals with the extension of two concepts that have proven themselves in social science research and philosophy, but also have the potential to be applied in other contexts on the one hand, and to enter into a reciprocal connection on the other, namely Ralf Dahrendorf’s life chances approach and Karl Popper’s theory of three worlds. The extension of the Three Worlds Theory concerns the intersubjective, that of the life chances approach …

Social Conflicts and Citizenship in the Context of Societal Complexity
This article addresses the issue of the legal expansion of citizenship in the context of increasing societal complexity. Social conflict has historically played a driving role in the enlargement of citizenship, but in the current phase it no longer seems to fulfil this function. The contribution aims to reflect on the conceptual tools needed to analyse social conflict related to the emergence of new forms of citizenship at a global scale. In the …
The open society and its life chances – from Karl Popper via Ralf Dahrendorf to a human geography of options and ligatures
In recent decades, geography in the German-speaking world has been strongly oriented towards Anglo-Saxon and French concepts. For some years now, efforts have been emerging to consider the potential of German language, not only philosophical but also sociological and anthropological traditions of thought for human geography in Germany and beyond. This article considers two thinkers from the German-speaking world who have dedicated themselves to d…

La società europea in costruzione: Trasformazioni sociali e integrazione europea
The social dimension has been neglected for a long time in the analysis of the change phenomena accompanying the European integration process. The proposed analysis tries to enhance the different sociological approaches to the study of the restrictions and factors favouring/hindering European integration and to how this, in turn, influences and structures social life, by looking to the social actors, institutions and models of behaviour, and to h…

Es decir, cuestionamos la viabilidad de transponer modelos media…
Opening the european box: Towards a new Sociology of Europe
Viewed from a theoretical and empirical perspective, the ongoing process of Europeanization poses new challenges to sociology. As a science, sociology reveals the inadequacy of the conceptual and methodological instruments currently available for our understanding of European social phenomena. Sociologists fi nd it di cult to defi ne the very object under scrutiny: does a European society exist? How should we defi ne a society whose boundary line…

As part of the group's activities the conference, whose the proceedings are collected here, was held in October 2003 in Florence. The meeting had as its objective …
