Framing artificial intelligence as a policy instrument in urban climate action: Practitioners' perspectives from Paris
Urban practitioners increasingly integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into tasks related to the implementation of climate action. With the impact of AI transcending specific tasks but changing responsibilities and routines, it must be considered as a policy instrument. While research identified potential AI applications and traced implementation processes, it remains understudied how practitioners introduce AI and how AI systems change workflow…
The Politics of Participatory Rollback in Urban Water Remunicipalization: Paris and Naples
Urban water remunicipalization is often expected to restore public accountability through participatory governance. Yet participatory forums created during remunicipalization are frequently narrowed or dismantled once civic actors press into allocative decisions. This article develops a meso-level explanation of participatory rollback and traces two pathways in Paris and Naples. Drawing on twenty interviews, documents, audits, and explaining-outc…
Ethnicized marginality and governance discontinuity: The contentious embeddedness of Roma settlements in Naples
Urban marginality is increasingly shaped by the intersection of infrastructural exclusion, governance fragmentation, and ethnicized stigmatization. This article investigates these processes through an in-depth analysis of Roma settlements in the Metropolitan region of Naples, where patterns of extreme marginalization emerge from the convergence of infrastructural deficits, governance discontinuities, and normative conflicts. Drawing on 62 semi-st…
Les mandarins et la horde bibliométrique: Normes, conflits et évolutions de l’espace de la sociologie italienne
L’article présente les équilibres, oppositions et conflits des dernières décennies qui ont contribué à la réorganisation institutionnelle de la sociologie italienne, ainsi qu’à l’évolution de ses pratiques de recrutement, d’évaluation et d’avancement. Ces changements sont toujours en cours et leurs partisans et opposants continuent à s’affronter ; notre texte est donc aussi un peu l’histoire d’un combat qui fait encore rage. Dans une première par…
Beyond ethnic solidarity: The Diversity and Specialisation of Social Ties in a Stigmatised Migrant Minority
Whether presented as ethnic ‘solidarity’ or ‘segregation’, the idea that migrants’ social world is dominated by tightly-knit, homogeneous, and supportive networks of kin and co-ethnics is common in scholarly and public discourse around migration, particularly for minorities with a history of marginalisation, segregation, and stigmatisation. We test this idea using results from the first survey of personal networks in one of the most stigmatised i…
Electoral support for the 5 Star Movement in Milan: An ecological analysis of social and spatial factors
After the 2018 general election, several scholars remarked on the failure of the 5 Star Movement (5SM) to increase its vote in Milan. While the role of demographic and socioeconomic factors has been highlighted, little attention has been devoted to spatial dynamics. The authors analyze the greater city of Milan using a new set of spatial units that capture the characteristics of the local populations which voted at specific polling stations. They…
From Roma autochthonous homophily to socialisation and community building in the Parisian metropolitan region shantytowns
Contemporary West European shantytowns have essentially been studied with qualitative methods. Questions related to their ethnic structure, homophily and interaction with local institutions have not been analysed through large samples and survey data. Based on the example of Romanian and Bulgarian Roma living in shantytowns in the Parisian metropolitan area, we analyse the ‘historical’ region of origin (autochthony), networks between individuals …
Depicting communities of Romani studies: On the who, when and where of Roma related scientific publications
Take politics off the table: A study of Italian youth's self-managed dairy restriction and healthy consumerism
The last 20 years have been characterized by very different dynamics: massive reduction of milk and, to a lesser extent, dairy consumption; fewer positive attitudes towards milk; no reclaims for affordable, public dairy production; the development of a large conversation about the presumed risks associated with the intake of lactose; and semantic battles on non-dairy 'milk' alternatives. These new attitudes haven't been systematically studied. We…
Vivere nella comunità locale. Una questione politica nella storia della sociologia urbana italiana
The moment of the Italian Community Studies, between the 50s and the 60s, has left a deep legacy. The article explores a specific dimension of this legacy: the way of thinking about the relationship between local studies and politics/policy. Based on six sections, it firstly explores the main meanings of politics and collective action developed in classic community studies. Then, it deepens the contribution of Danilo Dolci to the reflection on th…
Adaptation et réflexivité: Sur les mobilisations juridiques des groupes d'intérêt publics transnationaux européens
Cet article part d’un premier constat, relatif à un usage très différencié des mobilisations juridiques par deux acteurs collectifs transnationaux, le Lobby européen des femmes (LEF) et le Forum européen des Roms et des gens du voyage (FERV) qui pourtant appartiennent au même secteur européen de la lutte contre les discriminations. Il a pour objectif d’expliquer les raisons de cet usage différencié, et de discuter les dimensions d’analyse pertine…
Bidonvilles en Europe, la politique de l’absurde
En Italie et en Espagne comme en France, les bidonvilles sont une réalité toujours tangible. Plus ou moins connus, invisibilisés ou instrumentalisés, ils ont pour point commun d’être alimentés par les mêmes politiques qui sont censées les résorber. SOMMAIRE DE L’ARTICLE: Migrations et ethnicisation de la pauvreté. – Une action publique à plusieurs visages. – Le bidonville, un objet politique dépolitisé
Law as weapon of the weak? A comparative analysis of legal mobilization by Roma and women's groups at the European level
This article is interested with the legal mobilization of transnational interest groups at the European level (European Union and Council of Europe). It compares the legal and political lobbying strategies of two umbrella organizations – the European Women’s Lobby (EWL) and the European Roma and Travellers Forum (ERTF), which seek respectively to promote the rights of women and those of Roma – focusing on their interactions with European institut…
Socialità, omofilia e povertà urbana
Il nuovo libro di Eduardo Cesar Leão Marques offre un contributo maggiore alla sociologia, grazie ad un approccio analitico alla spiegazione della povertà urbana attraverso meccanismi relazionali. Basato su un’indagine in sette quartieri di San Paolo attraverso osservazione etnografica, GIS, interviste in profondità e personal network analysis, essa articola dimensioni culturali, fattori materiali e struttura sociale. In questa nota di lettura pr…
Conflitti urbani nei percorsi di cittadinanza degli immigrati. Una introduzione
Immigration is a main political topic. In Western Europe social conflicts, party systems and political parties have been restructured around an emerging cleavage between integration and demarcation. At the urban level, conflict among immigrant groups and native ones and contention between immigrants and the local authorities are major political dynamics. Main literature has explained why do we observe clashes between immigrants and natives in som…
Fatti sociali, individualismo cognitivo e determinismo individuale
The article discusses the controversy between social facts in Durkheim's theory and explanations founded on a radicalized version of methodological individualism, based on cognitive neurosciences and genetic explanations. The variation of suicide rates is a theme that provides a good illustration of the two approaches. After reviewing Durkheim's inheritance and the main criticisms of his theory, the difference between etiological and morphologica…

Comment expliquer, au pays du « laisser faire » et de l’« État faible », le pouvoir considérable de l’administration fédérale américaine sur le marché pharmaceutique ? Telle est la question posée par Daniel Carpenter dans son dernier ouvrage sur l’administration de l’alimentation et du médicament aux États-Unis (Food and drug administration, FDA). Prolongeant ses recherches sur les ressorts du pouvoir administratif, l’auteur de The forging of bur…
Les migrants roms dans les villes françaises et italiennes: Mobilités, Régulations Et Marginalités
A partir des articles réunis dans ce dossier et de travaux récents, cet article introductif porte sur l’entre-deux des politiques institutionnelles et des pratiques des migrants roms originaires d’Europe centrale et des Balkans, qui se sont installés dans les villes de France et d’Italie. Il montre en particulier la place primordiale des politiques institutionnelles dans la conduite des comportements individuels et collectifs et peut-être dans la…
Explaining How Political Culture Changes: Catholic Activism and the Secular Left in Italian Peace Movements
Political cultures have usually been studied as static and perhaps monolithic. If any attention has been dedicated to how political cultures change it has been devoted to exogenous factors. In recent years, however, some authors have advocated exploring the role of endogenous factors. In this article, we reflect on the advantages of a comprehensive approach to explaining how political cultures change, embracing endogenous and exogenous factors. W…
La gauche italienne face au mouvement pour les libertés civiles des sans-papiers
The Italian Left and the Movement for Illegal Aliens Civil Liberties In this article we analyze the formation since the late 1990s of a protest movement in Italy against the administrative detention of illegal aliens and the rising importance of this issue on the centerleft government agenda since its election in April 2006. To do so, we take interactive approach to the political process, refusing to view social movements solely as anti-instituti…
De Porto Rotondo à Wolfeboro: Vertus et faux-semblants de la comparaison Sarkozy-Berlusconi
Différents par leurs parcours et par les contextes nationaux dans lesquels ils évoluent, le nouveau président français et l'ancien président italien ont pourtant en commun des stratégies de légitimation similaires, passant par un usage protéiforme des médias et des liens privilégiés avec le capital économique. Pendant que l'un règne sur les étés de la Côte d'Émeraude, l'autre séjourne aux frais d'amis prévenants dans l'une des villégiatures les p…
Contracting for Welfare Services in Italy
The 1990s witnessed the spread and broadening in Europe of different types of relationships between public administration and private organisations (both for-profit and non-profit), derived from the two main categories of contracting out and accreditation. These models, linked to the process of developing new modes of governance, also focus on forms of contracting between providers and users of services. This contractual configuration of local we…
Les justes et les brutes: La littérature de témoignage sur les violences de Gênes 2001
Les évènements, survenus à Gênes en juillet 2001 lors de la contestation du G8, se sont constitués progressivement comme référence politique et culturelle dans l’histoire en train de se faire – à la fois identité et récit partagé – du mouvement altermondialiste et, en particulier, de sa composante italienne. On analyse ici un genre de récit qui a connu un essor exceptionnel en Italie après les évènements de Gênes: le témoignage de la violence sub…
Italie: Crucifix À L'école, Pluralisme Aux Oubliettes
Oriana Fallaci ou la rhétorique matamore
Le champ intellectuel français a jusqu’ici été peu concerné par la controverse provoquée en Italie, après les attentats du 11 septembre, par la publication de La rage et l’orgueil, véritable manifeste anti-islamique présentant des thèses violemment xénophobes. Après sa parution en français et hélas le succès de librairie qui s’annonce, il convient de revenir sur le contenu du livre qui, avec plus d’un million d’exemplaires vendus, caracole toujou…

Les coopératives sociales et la construction du tiers secteur en Italie
La notion de tiers secteur s’est imposée en Italie à la fin des années quatre-vingt, au moment où les organisations et les pratiques de l’économie sociale ont été identifiées et valorisées. Il s’agit d’une définition par défaut d’un espace qui ne relève ni de l’État, ni du marché. C’est peut-être précisément pour cela qu’il a pu, parfois par la contrainte, inclure des pratiques et des organisations hétérogènes sous bien des aspects. Il s’agissait…
