Back to social classes
Alongside a literature that considers the reference to social classes to be misleading, there has been a recent debate on the persisting importance of social classes in sociological explanation. This debate has brought interesting empirical results, but has also put into question the traditional schemes of classes that have been used since the 1980s.The diminishing ability of the variable ‘class’ to explain a large part of social phenomena is not…
Where does the Coronavirus come from? On the mechanisms underlying the endorsement of conspiracy theories on the origin of Sars-CoV-2
While official science has given its answer to the question on the origin of the Coronavirus (animal to human transmission), alternative theories on human creation of the virus – purposely or inadvertently – have flourished. Those alternative theories can be easily located among the family of conspiracy theories, as they always assume some secretive activity of some groups acting on their self-interest and against the good of the many. The articl…
Searching for comfort in religion
The impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the lives of many is indisputable.

The occupational status of Alters is also positively related to their resilience to the crisis. The data…
A case of declining social cohesion
A case of declining social cohesion: Italy in the new century Antonio M. Chiesi (bio) 1. Social Cohesion, a Multidimensional Concept Since the very beginning of the sociological tradition, terms like solidarity, social integration and social cohesion have been extensively used, being at the centre of the answer to the classical question "how society is possible?" (Simmel, 1903). The recent success of the latter term and a relative decline in the …
Measuring Social Capital and its Effectiveness. The Case of Small Entrepreneurs in Italy
The article discusses the results of an empirical research on social capital (SC) carried out in six areas of small business, concentrated in two sectors (‘new’ and ‘old economy’). A distinction is made between the functioning of SC at micro-, meso- and macro-levels. These levels imply different mechanisms and the specific production of private, club, and public goods. Ego-centred networks of small entrepreneurs in Italy in recent years are analy…
Recent Social Trends in Italy 1960-1995
Italy remains an enigma for many observers. Recent Social Trends in Italy, 1960-1995, the sixth volume from the international Comparative Charting of Social Change program, provides a new and convincing schema for its comprehension. It shows that three essential institutions have structured and unified Italian society: the family, the church, and political parties. While the state remains a weak institution, it is important as a regulator of the …
