Position, Mediation, and the Architecture of Social Experience
Contemporary social theory has extensively examined how structural arrangements shape social life, yet the mediating processes through which structural conditions are translated into lived experience remain insufficiently conceptualised. This article addresses this gap by developing an analytical framework that reconceptualises social position as a mediating configuration through which social reality becomes experientially organised. Rather than …
Reclaiming Conflict: Towards a Sociological Critique of Democratic Law in the Neoliberal Conjuncture
This article tries to elaborate a sociological critique of democratic law by addressing the transformations that have reshaped representative democracy under neoliberal restructuring. Drawing upon the conceptual legacy of classical sociology, it analyses the progressive displacement of political conflict from institutional arenas and its reconfiguration within juridical and technocratic domains. Depoliticisation is conceived not as a retreat of p…
Internal frontiers and agricultural extraction: The racialisation of migrant labour in southern Italy
This article examines migrant agricultural labour in southern Italy as a concentrated site of contemporary extractive capitalism. Focusing on the 2011 strike of migrant workers in Nardò (Apulia) and the subsequent Sabr trial, it argues that labour exploitation in European agriculture is not a marginal deviation or the result of criminal excess, but a structurally organised regime sustained through migration control, labour flexibilisation and ter…
Freedom, conflict, and the eclipse of emancipation: A positional sociology perspective
This article offers a critical sociological analysis of the contemporary disjunction between the persistent emphasis on individual freedom and the progressive weakening of the material and collective conditions of emancipation. Rather than interpreting this disjunction as a simple gap between normative principles and social practices, the article argues that it reflects a structural transformation in the meaning of freedom and in its relationship…
Positional sociology and the material conditions of subjectivities
This article advances a renewed materialist framework through the development of positional sociology, an approach that reconnects macro-structural transformations with the subjective experiences through which individuals navigate contemporary capitalism. Building on historical materialism while engaging critically with post-structuralism, subaltern studies and Bourdieusian field theory, the paper argues that position constitutes the key analytic…
Contentious Interation in Ultima Generazione (Last Generation). A Preliminary Analysis on Radicalization and Spin-off Movements
With this article, we attempted to analyze the radicalization process of the Italian environmental movement with a particular focus on the birth and the practices of the group called Ultima Generazione (Last Generation). Using a qualitative-quantitative approach that integrated PEA (Protest Event Analysis) and participant observation, we tried to understand how a new insurgent consciousness emerged from the experience of the mobilizations promote…
Oltre la sociologia pubblica e di servizio. Per una sociologia trasformativa e di posizione
This essay represents the first attempt to build the logical and epistemological foundations of Positional Sociology, i.e. a type of sociology that, by placing itself in the tradition of critical and public sociology, seeks to go beyond them by elaborating a new sociological practice that is both transformative and generative. To this end, the authors explain what is meant by positional sociology and then anchor it in the tradition of historical …
Gramsci, Antonio (1891–1937)
Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937) was an Italian philosopher, journalist, linguist, and political sociologist, who spent 11 years in fascist prisons because of his membership in the Italian Communist Party, which he founded and led until his death. He is considered one of the twentieth century's greatest Marxist thinkers mainly thanks to his Prison Notebooks , a monumental work consisting of more than 30 notebooks, written in prison between 1929 and 19…
La política italiana entre el multipopulismo y la despolitización
El objetivo de este artículo es proponer una clave interpretativa del cambio populista de Italia en un contexto de multipopulismo. Los autores intentan analizar los principales fenómenos populistas que han animado a la política italiana como variantes del mismo esquema, cuyo punto en común se encuentra en una matriz civil compartida. La tesis hermenéutica se basa en el hecho de que el patrón de multipopulismo en Italia ha sido determinado por una…

The Authors moves from the description of governance polity as a system of political opportunities to social mobilization, then they describe both local and global dimensions, regarding as a field of conflict and legitimacy. The fourth paragraph develops a comparative analysis on two alternative Europe, the one from above (the institutio…
