Becoming Mothers? No Thanks! The Phenomenon of Childfree Women in a Web Community
The article intends to examine the cultural phenomenon called “childfree”, that is, those women who choose not to have a child, and examines the forms of symbolic and relational psychological resistance that they give rise to in opposition to a culture that, instead, still forcefully affirms the equation “woman = mother”. To this end, the study focuses on two web communities on the social media Facebook that bring together online all the women wh…
The Propensity for Parenthood in Italy Between Cultural Orientations, Individual Choices, and Welfare Policies
The birth rate data in Italy continue to be discouraging. They are taking on the nature of a structural problem given the continuous decline in population, which is neither accompanied by significant structural policies to promote parenthood, nor supporting the births of fertile generations. This study uses a mixed methods approach and was started in 2022 with the creation of six focus groups in the southern Italian regions of Basilicata, Campani…
The Phases of Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Italian Sociology: Institutionalisation, Social Engagement, and Emerging Problems
This article reflects on the qualitative and quantitative methods developed and adopted by Italian sociology and the historical circumstances that have led researchers to focus on some fields rather than others. It will highlight how different research groups have articulated, over time, their reflection on the methods and techniques of social research, which can be said to be characterized by four phases. The first phase is formation, in which t…
The Intermediary Role of Women Workers for the Inclusion of Women Migrants Sogiesc: Between Recognition and Reflexivity
The intermediary role of women workers in NGOs is very important when lesbian, bisexual and queer migrant women apply for international protection in immigration countries. They are more exposed to multiple forms of discrimination when experiencing the intersection of multiple elements of vulnerability (gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, social class, etc.). Applying the technique of narrative interviewing to women NGO workers in Italy, o…

The conclusions will attempt to briefly outline the shortfalls and advantages of this method, considering its application to this specific field of study
Migration and Integration of Foreign Priests. Aspirations, Religiosity, and Tensions in the Narratives of Foreign Priests in Italy
This paper aims to understand the individual factors sustaining the migratory flow of Catholic priests to Italy. Priests’ migration cannot be seen as the mere result of lack of vocations and shortage of priests in the host country since their agency, belief, aspirations, and motivations affect their religious identity and, consequently, their integration and participation in the host country. Drawing on qualitative research, this paper collects t…

Transgender Couples’ Lives: Between Specificity, the Need for Normalization, and New Forms of Social Discrimination
Hikikomori italiani durante l’emergenza Covid-19: Fra ridefinizione del sé e protagonismo in ambiente digitale
Hikikomori youngsters engage in a voluntary and conscious withdrawal from all social relationships via physical presence or direct interaction with a negative impact on school performance, relational abilities, self-esteem, and perceived self-efficacy. This research explores the psychological, social, and imaginary reactions of Italian hikikomori youngsters to the measures to contain the spread of the Covid-19 during the generalized lockdown and …
Border sexuality: Identity Exp¬eriences and Inclusion Paths of Women With Non-Heteronormative Sexual Orientation Born From Mixed Couples
The article examines the processes of identification of women born from mixed couples (one Italian and one foreign parent), to explain the complexity in the self-determination processes of women with non-hetero-normative sexuality living in multicultural families. Based on the intersectionality paradigm, we will analyse how biosocial categories such as sex, gender, sexual orientation, class, name, skin colour, family background may influence the …
