The emerging civil society. Governing through leisure activism in Milan
The paper discusses the emerging forms of civil society in the NoLo area of Milan that have acquired political relevance by deploying a combination of leisure and activism. The heterogeneous set of initiatives and events that, using the NoLo label, animate the urban space have two distinct traits: firstly, they exert a subtle political action which is played out at a cultural level, in particular in their ability to draw on and influence common s…
Civil society events: Ambiguities and the exertion of cultural power
Cultural ‘events’ such as festivals and performances are increasingly used by civil society actors for a variety of goals, including the pursuit of social inclusion. Current debates around such events focus on their contradictions and associated failures, not least the illusory nature of their participatory character or their inadequacy in tackling structural dimensions such as inequality or poverty. This paper shifts the emphasis from what civil…
Social Spirals through Everyday Group Life: Settings and Group Styles in a Comparative Perspective
Everyday group life is generally neglected in the study of the ongoing shifts affecting voluntary associations. This paper is grounded on a comparative ethnography of three Milanese associations affected by transformations in forms of voluntary participation, repertoires of action and in their relations with public institutions. The study focuses on group styles and settings to ascertain the role played by everyday group life in shaping the impli…
The contradictions of creative activism. Situated meanings and everyday practices in a Milan case-study
Neighbourhood events and the visibilisation of everyday life: The cases of Turro (Milan) and Norra Fäladen (Lund)
While scholars agree on the reasons behind the current proliferation of urban, small-scale, pre-organised events, the implication of these events for public life is more controversial, and involves polarised debates between enthusiasts and critics. This paper develops an international comparison between one city district in Milan (Italy) and one in Lund (Sweden), in order to explore how the variety of events that took place there between 2013 and…
La dimensione istituzionale dei significati del tempo libero. indicazioni d'analisi da un classico studio di comunità
Though leisure time and space appear at first sight at the very core of the development of modern cities, urban studies - and in particular sociological urban studies- keep generally ignoring such a domain of study. As a direct consequence of this lack of attention, the analysis of the meanings of leisure – increasingly at centre of various strains of leisure studies- risks of not having the possibilities to grasp the institutional dimension thro…
