    Complexity and Sociology

    No full text
    This study focuses on the correlation between sociology and complexity and it operates a reflection on the deep epistemological and ontological meaning of complexity, revealing how complexity goes beyond the analysis of the global society and is linked to sociology itself and to the issue of its scientific trait. The study shows how complexity, rediscovered following the globalization processes, reconnects sociology with its own origins and concerns the issue of the relation of sociological science with its own object, that is to say, society and social order. In a more radical manner, the challenge of complexity is intertwined with the road of revisiting modern science and epistemological identifying among “order”, “intelligibility”, and “science”. In such a vision, complexity, not only reconnects sociology to its object, but highlights how those traits considered as non‐scientific residue of human and social sciences belong to the fundamental issue of scientific knowledge. The challenge of complexity is outlined, as questioning the idea according to which the “modern" science depletes the “scientific vision of the world”

    Il lavoro analizza i processi di integrazione sociale delle nuove generazioni di origine immigrata in Abruzzo, ossia in un contesto in forte trasformazione a seguito della crescita del carattere multietnico e pluriculturale. In particolare si analizza l’integrazione sociale prendendo in considerazione: la composizione delle famiglie dei preadolescenti italiani e stranieri; gli aspetti normativi presenti nelle relazioni familiari quotidiane. Tale tematica è stata analizzata nell’ambito di una ricerca empirica condotta su un campione di 1314 preadolescenti italiani e stranieri in Abruzzo.The aim of the study is to analyze social integration processes of the new generations of immigrant origin in the Abruzzo region, that are undergoing deep transformation because of the growth of their multiethnic and multicultural character.
