Part one is a brief history of Italian Visual Sociology. Andrea Pitasi sketches his main hypothesis: as a complex middle range theory, visual sociology might become a specific discipline. The theoretical concepts and proposals to create it are summarized in the conclusion. In part two, Patrizia Faccioli deals with the Italian sociological mainstream's conception of visual sociology. From this perspective, visual sociology is considered a methodology, which the author affirms as an incomplete point of view. On the basis of her experience of research, she assumes that visual sociology may also be a paradigm which she sketches as a phenomenological paradigm of visual knowledge
