Dal campo allo schermo: Influenze sociologiche nel cinema realista di Ken Loach
A giugno 2024 Ken Loach ha compiuto 88 anni. Il regista inglese ha annunciato che ‘The Old Oak', uscito nel 2023, sarà il suo ultimo film. Benché non sia la prima volta che Loach annunci il proprio ritiro dalle scene, questi avvenimenti offrono un'occasione per provare a tratteggiare un'analisi della sua estesa filmografia.

Why is technocracy persistent in industrial risk? Empirical evidence from an in-depth case study in Italy

In contrast to sensational disquisitions regarding the death of expertise…

Both groups developed specific identity frames in the course of their mobilizations in four Italian …

It focuses on the foundations of his theory which covers a broad set of sociological and political issues that go well beyond disciplines’ boundaries. The author traces a genealogy of Pizzorno’s theory of recognition from its inception with the early anthropological study on the mask to its more recent and complex sociological elaboration.…
