Between utopias and everyday practices: Ecopreneurs and new urban economies in Bologna
This article examines how New Urban Economies (NUEs) contribute to, and reveal the contradictions of, socio-ecological transition in Italian cities, using Bologna as a case study. It brings together three strands of research that are usually treated separately: studies of distinctive and environmentally oriented consumption practices; sustainable entrepreneurship research combining supply-side and demand-side explanations; and scholarship on temp…
When the white coat meets the code: Medical professionals’ negotiating with artificial intelligence, trust and boundary work
As AI is deployed in healthcare contexts, medical professionals undergo technology-driven challenges, such as maintaining control over the diagnostic process and renegotiating their tasks and areas of expertise. In this article, we explore the social and professional implications of AI in healthcare contexts in Italy. We do this by investigating the multiple factors that co-construct trust in AI systems. We also examine the various forms of bound…
Sociotechnical imaginaries of social inequality in the design and use of AI recruitment technology
Through interviewing 12 companies in Italy that either design (vendors) or use (clients) AI recruitment technology systems, we explore how these companies perceive their systems to interact with issues of social inequality and how these perceptions, in practice, carry societal impacts. Three sociotechnical imaginaries (Jasanoff and Kim, 2015) were consistently embedded within these companies’ visions of this intersection: the third eye, the river…

The (new) Democratic Party: Ideology, values and strategies of sympathizers, members and delegates
The PD has always been a composite and complex party, where different and sometimes opposing political cultures converge. The 2023 primary elections overturned the predictions by handing over the party leadership to Elly Schlein, interpreted by many as the beginning of a renewal process. However, it is precisely the logic of open primaries that brings into play different actors, bearers of values and strategies that are not always congruent. Will…
Minding the gap(s): Public perceptions of AI and socio-technical imaginaries
Deepening and digging into the social side of AI is a novel but emerging requirement within the AI community. Future research should invest in an “AI for people”, going beyond the undoubtedly much-needed efforts into ethics, explainability and responsible AI. The article addresses this challenge by problematizing the discussion around AI shifting the attention to individuals and their awareness, knowledge and emotional response to AI. First, we o…
A sociotechnical perspective for the future of AI: Narratives, inequalities, and human control
Different people have different perceptions about artificial intelligence (AI). It is extremely important to bring together all the alternative frames of thinking—from the various communities of developers, researchers, business leaders, policymakers, and citizens—to properly start acknowledging AI. This article highlights the ‘fruitful collaboration’ that sociology and AI could develop in both social and technical terms. We discuss how biases an…
The Italian Democratic Party at the Crossroad: Party Activism and the Middle-Level Élite
We examine the middle-level élite of the Italian Democratic Party (Partito democratico, PD) and its founding parties, Democrats of the Left (Democratici di Sinistra, DS) and The Daisy (La Margherita, DL), over fifteen years (2004–2019). Our original dataset on national delegates comes from 2373 questionnaires collected at eight national party congresses. Inspired by Whiteley and Seyd’s concepts of low and high-intensity participation, we evaluate…
Quale genere di astensionismo? La partecipazione elettorale delle donne in Italia nel periodo 1948-2018
In the study of voter turnout, a gender perspective is useful in many ways. Since in Italy women gained the right to vote relatively late (only in 1946), a gender gap perspective is utmost handy to grasp why women had an immediate and massive participation over the First Republic. It is also relevant for understanding why their institutional representation comparatively still scores low and why women still do not bear a grounded interest for poli…
The Social Roots of the Gender Gap in Political Participation: The Role of Situational and Cultural Constraints in Italy
The paper takes an innovative approach to the study of political participation by combining it with a gender studies perspective, investigating the role of structural and situational constraints in the highly gendered context of Italy. Such constraints channel women’s time away from politics, but neither do they account for the whole difference, which calls for an additional explanation, identified with specific cultural constraints. As expected,…
Social innovation and natural disasters: The "Casa Italia" Plan
Il quadro teorico che sostiene questo lavoro si riallaccia e innova in modo originale la letteratura accademica nel campo della Social Innovation e della sociologia dei disastri in una prospettiva socio-economica dii vulnerabilità e resilienza. L’articolo offre una lettura critica del Piano ‘Casa Italia’ lanciato dal governo nell'Ottobre 2016 per la messa in sicurezza e la prevenzione al rischio sismico dopo i terremoti nel Centro Italia nel cors…
The political party as a network of cleavages: Disclosing the inner structure of Italian political parties in the seventies
Law enforcement activities in Italy
Despite the fact that no one nourishes doubts about their importance, we know little or nothing about the forces of order in Italy, about how they are organized, about their daily activities, about the difficulties they encounter in their work. The greater part of the available studies of the police go back to the 1960s and 1970s, and many of these had denunciation rather than understanding as their end. Unlike what has happened in the United Sta…
