Towards a Sociology of Hope
Why does hope appear in certain epochs and places, only at other times to disappear from people’s lives and from society as a whole?

With attention to who the historical bearers of hope are, and which social groups are most inclined towards hope and why. It also considers the objects and goals towards …
Spiritual Technologies

It will also aim to trace the intellectual genealogy and conceptual premises of their cultural and communicative vision.

Is a Sociology of Hope Possible? An Attempt to Recompose a Theoretical Framework and a Research Programme
The societal changes of the last century, especially in the aftermath of World War II, have led thinkers to imagine philosophical anthropology centred on the concept of hope.

Fake news, echo chambers, filter bubbles, and a crisis of experts are some of the phenomena of this epoch of digital revolution that everyone is forced to deal with on daily basis. Public media echoed the plea for a return to a connection between reality, truth, and communication that has been ad…

The focus is on the credibility of the communicator, who, on one hand is called to take full responsibility for what he says, but on the other…
