Families and Intergenerational Relations in Migration: Challenges and Opportunities
Full text linkIn a worldwide context of growing migration processes, international research confirms the central role that families play in the migration plans and strategies of individuals, including the decision to emigrate and which family members must or can do so. The family also takes on considerable importance in defining subsequent modifications, such as the length and development of migratory projects. The “migrant family” is located in a social system where roles and relationships can be partially or completely different. The settlement of individuals in the receiving country, and their changing migration plans and strategies follow multiple pathways. The experience of migration, with its cultural and emotional break-ups can redefine and reorganise networks and relational dynamics, particularly between men and women, parents, grandparents and children. In particular, transnational families designate family networks composed of members who live in two or more countries, but maintain a sense of ‘familyhood’ across distance, time, and exchange, to various degrees, care and support. Relevant are the various ways in which they maintain family ties and connections across national borders and across generations and the pressures and transformations that may arise within and across the generations because of their embeddedness in different socio-cultural contexts
Culture e studi del sociale
No full textThe journal Culture e Studi del Sociale is a scientific journal that provides a space of discussion and reflection (theoretical and empirical) among scholars, operators and civil society, within humanities and social sciences. Oriented to international collaborations, CuSSoc aims to be a place of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue, which encourages the discussion without forgetting the classical studies of the individual disciplines and the research on emerging phenomena.
Research results should have an important impact on political decision, on processes of formation, change and development, as well as on the integration of theories and paradigms. Therefore, the target is promoting reflections which encourage the dialogue among disciplines on the elements which favour/hinder social change, starting from analysis, evaluation and confrontation of different realities.
The classical subjects of sociology and other humanities and social sciences and the analysis on the transformations of welfare represent an important part of the journal, but also imagery, everyday life, human rights are an important part, along with the study of emerging phenomena. Although being open to all contributions and easing the exchange of ideas, the journal privileges some topics. Among them: social policies; social imagery and role of image in the present societies, comprehensive sociology; sociology of knowledge; bodies, sport and nature; music and society; religions and new religiosity; new technologies and sociality, etc. The journal, therefore, aims to be a generator of ideas and proposals to understand and interpret the social complexity and provide contributions for the innovative and sustainable policies

Conciliazione famiglia e lavoro tra smart-working e diversity management. Una riflessione su pratiche e nuove semantiche
No full textLa conciliazione famiglia-lavoro si sviluppa all’interno di biografie personali e professionali che mutano nel tempo, soprattutto in relazione alle differenti fasi della vita. Le strategie e le pratiche conciliative risultano essere tento più efficaci tanto quanto sono capaci di adattarsi alle transizioni del ciclo di vita familiare e ai processi evolutivi dell’organizzazione del lavoro, soprattutto in termini tecnologici. Lo smart-working costituisce uno strumento innovativo, garante di un sistema di flessibilità di orari e spazi – agevolato dai recenti dispositivi di legge – e che pone al centro la libertà di auto-organizzarsi del lavoratore, dentro obiettivi concordati. Tuttavia alcune dimensioni di disparità e di difficoltà nell’accesso a questi strumenti evidenzia la necessità di una revisione e ampliamento del significato e delle modalità applicative dello stesso. Il tema della differenziazione e della flessibilità degli strumenti operativi a partire dalle risorse e dalle specificità dei lavoratori trova riscontro nell’approccio del diversity management. L’analisi della conciliazione famiglia-lavoro e dello smart-working, rispetto all’approccio del diversity management diviene una possibile nuova pratica per mostrare come luoghi di lavoro più attenti al tema del welfare mirato alle esigenze e alle differenze tra le persone possano garantire politiche di conciliazione più efficaci
