Israel’s National Historiography
Crossing the Democratic Boundaries? Israeli protest against the Autocratization Perils of the 2023 Institutional Reform
In the absence of the written constitution, Israeli society is institutionally anchored to the twofold premise of being as equally Jewish as democratic, according to the 1948 Declaration of Independence. These two properties are the foundation stones of the country’s national habitus, the system of norms and codes interiorized by citizens. Yet, Israeli democracy has faced many challenges, both external (geopolitical conflicts) and internal (the r…
Between Enlightenment and Obscurantism
The State of Israel could not have been founded without the legacy of the European Enlightenment. Its founding ideology, i.e., European-born Zionism, acquired its political and social savoir-faire through the pursuit of modernization. Catalysed by the rise of “scientific” anti-Semitism, a societal transformation was engendered oscillating between societal rejection (the reaction of ultra-Orthodoxy) and the desire for civil equality through assimi…

Alfio Mastropaolo, Fare la guerra con altri mezzi. Sociologia storica del governo democratico
Alfio Mastropaolo, già docente di scienza politica e di sociologia politica e ora professore emerito presso l’Ateno di Torino, ha recentemente pubblicato un libro su Stato, rappresentanza, partiti e mercato (i quattro capitoli del volume). Codesta pubblicazione potrebbe sembrare un’opera magna di fine carriera, di chi potrebbe essere definito in inglese un out of the box thinker, considerando l’ampiezza intrinsecante, maestrata attraverso osserva…
When Nations Adapt
Nations are resilient and often taken for granted as an analytical category in most social sciences. Academic literature has highlighted the industrial and capitalistic origins of nationalism, espousing the formation of modern statehood as well as the revitalized re-elaboration of ethno-genetic elements into that same modernity, even when ‘imagined’ and ‘invented’. Certainly, the organizational and ideological capacities of nation-states are soci…
Israel studies “Italian style”
Israel Studies is a rather recent and fragmented discipline in the Italian academic system. Nonetheless, the interest in Israel's geopolitical history has progressively emerged from Middle East and International Relations scholars as well as from some non-academic actors seeking to understand the Israeli-Arab conflict and later on Israel's own sociopolitical complexity. Universities such as Venice and Pisa include Israeli history in various acade…

Unstable political we-feelings in Italy and Israel
Do Italy and Israel attest progressive de-civilizing phenomena in light of erosion in political stability and institutional paradigms? What are the differences between Italian and Israeli imperfect statehoods, revealing fluctuant tendencies in democratic civilizing and de-civilizing processes? Despite historical, political and sociological differences, both Italian and Israeli democracies have shown signs of political unrest and segmentation. The…
The Nationalist Egg and the State-centric Chicken
The Nationalist Egg and the State-centric Chicken
The book by Siniša Malešević, Grounded Nationalisms: A Sociological Analysis, is useful for better understanding the social conditions in which nationalism has come into being. The volume is based on a rich overview of literature and is accompanied by several case-studies (i.e. Ireland and the Balkans). The analysis stresses the utility of a long-run processual approach in order to contextualize the nationalist grip in modern society. By tracing …
The Israeli electoral state of mind
The 2015 Israeli general elections provide rare intellectual stimuli to trace and characterize some of the larger sociopolitical stances in Israeli society. Since Israeli politics has undergone many changes over the last decades, a focus on electoral moment unpacks the issues and general perception regarding geopolitics (i.e. the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) and the domestic health of the country (i.e. sociopolitical reforms and policy-developme…
