La storia di un’epidemia
A distant pain that suddenly involves us. Covid 19 seemed to be a matter that concerned only China, instead we soon found ourselves counting our dead and dealing with “suspended mourning”, that is, facing death without being able to access the usual system of rituals and symbols that accompany the event. A pandemic, as La Spagnola had been in other periods, puts us in a position of uncertainty, but perhaps it stimulates us to find meekness and be…
Qual è la religione degli italiani?
Confronted with a deep-rooted and widespread behavioural subjectivity, how can we be surprised that Italy has never reached a "civil religion"? This is the main theme of this book which provides an analysis of Italian society that goes beyond the religious matter. One might wonder, in fact, whether the lack of a civil religion can be attributable to the absence of a religiosity lived without distinction between the private and the public sphere. …
L'Achoura et les jours du mois de Moharrem
According to the Islamic calendar, there are ten days during the first month of the year, the Muharram, which are dedicated to the remembrance and to the wailing for the martyrdom of Ali, but above all for his son Hussein. The author presents a contribution to read this event after his personal participation in Isfahan (in 2002)
The Mystical Option in a Postmodern Setting
Following Troeltsch, who identified in the Western mystical adventure the fundamental aspects of the autonomy of individual conscience, of tolerance, of the relativity of beliefs and of ethical individualism, the author traces in the postmodern religious landscape, well beyond secularization, the kernel of a widespread mystical trend that appeared at the start of the third millennium. Its characteristics are a nomadic dimension, a hypertrophy of …
What Do Believers Believe? A Survey in Poggibonsi (Italy)
The author of this article presents some results of a sociological research project into implicit religion in an area of Tuscany (Italy) that has been subject to rapid economic and social changes. From the analysis emerges a model of life based on material productivity, familial and social solidarity, while the religious beliefs of Catholicism, in spite of a certain belonging, remain in the background as traditional symbols. The function of rites…
Le catholicisme italien contemporain. Schéma pour une analyse
Cet essai entend offrir un schéma d'analyse du catholicisme italien contemporain. En partant d'une étude critique du rapport catholicisme-société italienne, comme si le catholicisme constituait le simple reflet de la connotation méditerranéenne spécifique, l'auteur estime qu'un tel catholicisme présente, jusqu'au Concile, un caractère ecclé-siocentrique, hiérocratique et institutionnel. À l'issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'Église assume, au…
Silence as Elsewhere
Dans cet article, l'A. etudie tout particulierement le silence, ses expressions, ses metaphores, sans cependant nier la valeur de la parole. Car l'homme en effet existe d'abord par la parole et non pas par le silence. La parole prime sur le silence, mais elle s'efface, se transforme en cris, en rumeurs ou en etourdissements si elle perd son rapport au silence. L'A. observe le silence qui est present dans le domaine socio-religieux dans le context…

Introduction
In this introduction, A. Nesti lays out the principle characte ristics of the nature and dialectic of contemporary Spanish Catho licism: the dependence of Spain on foreign investments, the role of the monarchy at the time of the change in regime, the forma tion of a political class for whom the anti-Franco struggle was unknown, the impulse in favour of change within the boundaries of civil society and the Church, and the europeanization of the Ib…
Religion et classe ouvrière dans les sociétés industrielles
The true complexity of the religious field has been gradually brought to light by research carried out in sociology of religion throughout the course of industrial societies. At present, the limits to the theories linking religious withdrawal to industrial development, have become apparent. And current research and debates on ' popular religion ' now also bring out the complex nature of this phenomenon. The author of this article has considered t…
