Approccio biografico, auto-riflessività e ricerca sociale
No full textIl saggio ripercorre la genealogia dell’approccio biografico nelle scienze sociali, le sue caratteristiche e, soprattutto, le sue potenzialità sotto il profilo metodologico, oltre che epistemologico, nell’offrire strumenti e risorse utili volti, da un lato, a esplorare i nessi esistenti tra biografie ed eventi sociali e, dall’altro, a generare, anche sul piano teorico, considerazioni in grado di promuovere una maggiore riflessività da parte dei ricercatori. Il potenziale emancipante del metodo biografico si delinea, dunque, sia dal punto di vista dei soggetti della ricerca – che divengono protagonisti di pratiche cognitive che riconoscono particolare rilevanza alla dimensione soggettiva –, sia da quello del ricercatore e della ricercatrice che si trovano a confrontarsi in termini auto-riflessivi con la natura del proprio impegno scientifico, delle proprie identificazioni e dei legami con il mondo e gli individui protagonisti delle proprie ricerche

Forme del potere (mafioso) e pratiche di resistenza nello scenario globale. Questioni teoriche e indagini sul campo. Introduzione
No full textThe paper introduces and presents the theoretical-conceptual framework which informs the reflection on the forms of Mafia power and resistance practices activated both at a subjective and community level addressed in the articles that make up the thematic focus. Starting from the changes related to neoliberal globalization processes and their impact in the sphere of law and the State, the authors reflect on the manifestations that mafia power (in its various expressions) assumes in the contemporary world, within the criminal organizations addressed in the empirical contributions and in the network of external relations that consolidates them, in very different geographical, political, economic and cultural contexts (such as, for example, Sicily, Nigeria and Mexico). The analysis shows recurring topics linked above all to the pervasiveness and persistence of some distinctive characteristics of Mafia power, such as, for example, the use of physical and symbolic violence, the control of the territory, the ideological and cultural patriarchal legacy, the ability to exploit traditional culture. At the same time, the forms of opposition to the criminal-mafia power are highlighted both in the dimension of everyday life and in that linked to the progressive emergence of a growing political subjectification of citizens and groups who denounce its oppression and demand justice
The Refugee Crisis, Solidarity Mobilization and the Crisis of European Humanity
No full textThis article critically addresses the analysis put forward by Ludger Pries in his book Refugees, Civil Society and the State. European Experiences and Global Challenges (2018) which contains a documented, although probably too optimistic, account on the refugees’ movement arrived to Europe during the long summer of 2015 and the expressions of solidarity emerged at that time in various European countries (most notably in Germany). After a presentation of the book’s three main lines of discussion – i.e. the causes and factors behind the movement of refugees which triggered the so-called refugee crisis in Europe in 2015; the strategy adopted by European States to deal with the crisis itself and which resembled a sort of “organized non-responsibility”; and, finally, the characteristics of that “civic-social movement for the protection of refugees and asylum” that demanded fair asylum procedures and a more humane treatment – the analysis emphasizes some crucial aspects which still need a further reflection and challenge social scientists to adopt more comprehensive approaches. Hence, the review is an opportunity to discuss more thoroughly issues related to the need to overcome traditional schemes and definitions in this field (i.e. refugees vs. economic migrants), to reflect on the political implications of the adoption of policies of exclusion and containment at European level and to address the extremely worrying effects of a growing rise of anti-migrant rhetoric which has enhanced, inter alia, the emergence of a state of collective indifference on the dramatic and inhumane conditions in which migration to Europe still occurs
