Metafore rischiose: La Pandemia Come Guerra (O La Guerra Come Pandemia)
Dante ‘sociologo’, 700 anni dopo
The possibility of sociology to dialogue with the work of Dante Alighieri is based on his ability to historicize his characters (well-defined individuals in highly relational contexts) while typifying their psychologies and behaviors. Georg Simmel spoke of a ‘dualism’ in Dante, a suitable category to describe his social and political conception. As to his beliefs the Poet can be considered ‘conservative’ indeed; but he is the first to distinguish…
Guerra e deterrenza: Il mondo post-bipolare e la crisi delle regole
The war in Ukraine turns the confrontation between East and West into an open conflict containing the possibility of a nuclear escalation. During the Cold War the principle of deterrence based on mutual assured destruction (MAD) worked sufficiently. Any nuclear attack by one of the superpowers USA and USSR could not have prevented the other to respond with an equally destructive counterattack, thus making a nuclear war “unthinkable”. Game theory …
The coronavirus pandemic: Danger, risk or threat
The coronavirus pandemic has sparked a heated debate both in political and academic terms. A dialectic has been revealed between the Left and Right. Progressive governments resort to containment measures which are an expression of a ‘collectivist’ position, while conservative governments adopt policies of tolerance which are an expression of an ‘individualist’ laissez faire orientation. Another dialectic is reflected in a disciplinary difference …
Dangers, risks and threats: An alternative conceptualization to the catch-all concept of risk
In the last 30 years, the relevance of risk for social actors and societies has been coupled with a growing academic debate extending across disciplines and practical fields. In the sociological literature, however, risk remains a concept with a disputed and overly comprehensive meaning. To overcome the conceptual stretching of risk, this article suggests a conceptualization which intends not only to better specify what risk is but also to distin…
I conflitti dell'abitare dalla lotta di classe alla "guerra tra poveri". Autoctoni e stranieri a Tor Sapienza (Roma)
In the post-industrial city conflict moves from being a contradiction between classes to a contradiction inside the class. Sometimes described as a war among the poor the conflict involves natives and immigrants competing for access to housing, welfare services and common space in the same suburban neighbourhood. A deliberative experiment - the citizens’ jury - in Rome’s suburb of Tor Sapienza shows that expressing one’s needs and opinions togeth…
The Rhetoric of Management Control in Italian Cities: Constructing New Meanings of Public Action
This article deals with Italian administrative change. The introduction of management control and evaluation systems in Italian local governments is the best example of the managerial rhetoric of administrative change in Italy. Actually, it brings new meanings of public action and suggests new identities taken from the private sphere. The authors point out some critical aspects of this local governments reform in the frame of the neo-liberal ideo…
The fuzzy environment and postmodern soldiers: The motivations of the Italian contingent in Bosnia
1999). The fuzzy environment and postmodern soldiers: The motivations of the Italian contingent in Bosnia. Small Wars & Insurgencies: Vol. 10, Peace Operations Between War and Peace, pp. 138-160
Peacekeeping and the Postmodern Soldier
This article examines the subjective experience and attitudes of Italian soldiers toward nontraditional military missions like peacekeeping, based on two surveys of Italian soldiers who served in peacekeeping missions to Albania and Somalia. It argues that the traditional 'institutional/occupational' dichotomy is inadequate to explain the range of motivations of Italian peacekeepers. Instead, it offers a new typology of motivations-paleomodern, m…
