All in, against all odds. Path shift in family policy via cross‐party agreement: The case of the Single Universal Allowance reform in Italy
The introduction of the Single Universal Child Allowance in 2021 marked a sharp turning point in Italian family policy. Presented as a major revolution aimed at combating the country's alarmingly low birth rates as well as child poverty, the reform was also meant to rationalise the benefits system while overcoming the historical fragmentation and uneven protection granted to families. Against this backdrop, the article contributes to the literatu…
Being old' and 'feeling old' in contemporary Italy: Active ageing and Covid-19
Over the last 20 years, ageing has been studied through the lens of an active ageing perspective, which considers older adults as responsible for their own conditions. However, the COVID-19 health emergency has highlighted its limits. Drawing on a sample of semi-structured interviews - collected before and during the pandemic - with people aged 65 years and above who are self-sufficient and live in Turin, Italy, this article explores the represen…
La creazione mediatica della paura: Lo spettro della censura tra cancel culture e politicamente corretto
The article examines how Italian news coverage on Facebook has influenced the debate on cancel culture, linking it to phenomena like political correctness and framing it as an assault on freedom of expression. By analysing posts from 2020 to 2021 on the Facebook pages of major Italian newspapers, sourced through the CrowdTangle platform, the article explores the journalistic portrayal of cancel culture. It also considers how this media depiction …
Essere, diventare, o scoprirsi anziani durante l’emergenza Covid-19
The idea that older people should be active agents has dominated policy discourse across health, social care and housing that has a core care function. In the context of ageing population, the active and successful ageing paradigm risks to exacerbating existing inequalities and disadvantages that take shape along the life course and that cross several aspects of everyday life. The covid-19 pandemic shed light on areas of inequalities and social e…
Caring masculinities in prison? Social workers and programs dealing with incarcerated fatherhood
The article explores how fatherhood in prison is conceived and supported by policy intervention in Italy. Despite the fact that, in 2020, 96% of adults detained in Italian prisons were men and half of them had at least one child, fatherhood in prison, a gendered space and institution where masculinities are (re)produced, is an underdeveloped research topic. Adopting a caring masculinity perspective, we focus on incarcerated fatherhood to investig…
Fatherhood and gender relations in the manosphere: Exploring an Italian non-resident fathers’ online forum
In the last few years, the informal network – called manosphere – of forums, websites and blogs, where commentators are mainly men and focus on issues relating to masculinity, has been gaining members and visibility. The article’s objective is to explore the politics of fatherhood and masculinity that an Italian non-resident fathers’ online forum engages in to assess whether the claims for fathers’ rights are a move towards a new form of involved…
Do You Guys Take Showers with Your Children: Gendered Embodiment and the Legitimation of Italian Fathering Practices
This work aims at investigating gendered embodiment in fathering practices in a national context, Italy, where understandings of fatherhood, at the institutional as well as the individual level, are still more centered on the provider ideal than on a model of nurturing and caring fatherhood. This qualitative research on Italian first-time fathers of children under three years of age focused on men's participation in routine, instrumental, and mat…
