Introduzione. Georg Simmel e la questione della libertà
No full textIl tema della libertà, presente in numerosi scritti, viene affrontato esplicitamente da Simmel in alcuni testi, già a partire dagli anni giovanili. A tale tema, l'Autore dedica anche un frammento scritto e consegnato all'editore poco prima della sua morte. Si tratta di un frammento denso, una sorta di abbozzo di un trattato che egli avrebbe voluto scrivere in modo organizzato. Tuttavia, proprio da questo frammento è possibile cogliere alcune questioni relative alla libertà che accompagnano a rileggere testi precedenti e a cogliere, in essi, un filo rosso rivelativo della centralità di tale questione

Limina / Die Freiheit der Freien im technisch-ökonomischen Zeitalter : Eine offene Herausforderung
No full textIn den letzten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts wird die soziale Organisation auf der Grundlage des planetaren techno-ökonomischen Systems umstrukturiert. In diesem Zusammenhang wird Freiheit mit der unbestimmten Zunahme der Möglichkeiten und der Selbstbestimmung der Individuen gleichgesetzt, nur ausgehend von ihrer auflösenden Seite gemäß der Idee einer absoluten Freiheit. Die Krise, innerhalb derer wir uns bewegen, zeigt die Notwendigkeit von Lösungen auf, die nicht bloß technischer Art sind, sondern in der Lage sind, die verschiedenen Dimensionen des sozialen Lebens zu betrachten und ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Die Herausforderung besteht somit darin, zu versuchen, die Freiheit ausgehend von ihrer internen relationalen Matrix zu überdenken. Mit dem Wunsch, einen Beitrag zur immer offenen Debatte über Freiheit zu leisten, und im Nachdenken über dieselbe in Bezug auf ein neues Modell des Zusammenlebens und der sozialen Entwicklung, wird in diesem Artikel vorgeschlagen, die Freiheit von einer Vision, die auf quantitativem Wachstum und Konsum basiert, in eine reifere Perspektive der Organisation des sozialen Lebens zu bringen, in der die ‚generative‘ Freiheit eine relationale anthropologische Vision widerspiegelt.The last decades of the 20th century saw a re-organisation of social structures based on the global techno-economic system. In this context, freedom becomes equal to the indefinite increase in possibilities and the self-determination of the individual, a one-sided decoupling in line with the idea of an absolute freedom. The current crisis we find ourselves in demonstrates the necessity for solutions, not only of a technological nature, but that are able to take into account the different aspects of social life and create a balance. Thus, the challenge is to attempt to rethink freedom from its internal relational matrix. This article aims to offer a contribution to the ongoing debate on freedom and explores freedom in the context of a new model for human coexistence and social development. It suggests shifting the vision of freedom based on quantitative growth and consumption to a more advanced perspective of social organisation, in which “generative” freedom reflects a relational anthropological vision
Il potenziale della relazione sociale di prossimità. Il caso delle comunità di famiglie
No full textThe concept of community has known a wide spread use in sociology. However, although, it might seem simple to define community as one of the best known associative forms of human cohabitation, such a definition presents also some empirical problems. In the first place, because community has been often defined as something that dissolves itself with the coming of the modern world. Secondly, because recently such a concept has been used in sociological analysis with problematic meanings. This article attempts to explore such a concept in empirical terms and to offer a contribution to its redefinition referring to a field investigation which involved some communities of families. Starting from this, a definition of community is hypothesized in the form of a social relationship strongly anchored to the moment of intersubjectivity and capable of generating mutations in contratendency to the contemporary culture
The Dual Nature of Authority and Its Generative Capacity
No full textAuthority is a controversial and complex term. It refers to a social process that shapes intersubjective and institutional relationships. This article aims to discuss „authority‟ starting from the meaning of the term and its controversial history, and then to identify the characteristics of its dual nature. This duality is inherent in authority itself and can be seen as the relation between the instituted forms of society and the innovative, creative forces that drive change through human social actions and interactions. This may help us to reconsider authority and its contribution to social life from a perspective of generating change
Freedom beyond any dualism
No full textSimmel's living heritages has to do with freedom, and especially his idea of freedom. Freedom is a kind of relationship among human being
Istantanee simmeliane. La vita sub specie relationis
No full textIn these pages we aim to take some ‘snapshots’ of Georg Simmel's thought regarding a phenomenon of fundamental importance in his work: the relationship. Even before what appears on the surface of social life, relationship concerns a very deep level where it happens according to a particular modality capable of safeguarding otherness. In fact, the topic ‘relationship’ in Simmel implies considering what is the condition of the relationship itself, that is, life, on which the first snapshot focuses. The second one focuses on an aspect of human existence outlined by the Berlin thinker as 'vital-spiritual existence': relationship between organic matter and awareness, interiority, culture. The last snapshot concerns the individual that Simmel outlines as a 'whole man', constitutively relational in his identity and individuality
Il legame incrinato
No full textIl testo si propone di analizzare la relazione tra il lavoro, la società e l’azione dei soggetti sia negli autori classici della sociologia che nel dibattito sociologico recente, con lo scopo di verificare l’ipotesi di capacità esplicativa del lavoro rispetto alla società: quanto il lavoro struttura la società? E quanto esso è centrale nella vita degli individui e nella costruzione di legami sociali? Di quale ‘lavoro’ e di quale ‘società’ è possibile dar conto attraverso le analisi sociologiche? Inoltre: ha senso parlare oggi di centralità del lavoro – e in quali termini - se la società del lavoro ereditata dalla modernità si frantuma nella misura in cui viene meno, per esempio, il suo sistema di regolazione
Alle origini del capitale sociale. Note sugli autori e sui testi fondatori del concetto
No full textCon il concetto di “capitale sociale” ci si riferisce ad un fattore relazionale, ossia al network di relazioni formali e informali tra soggetti individuali e collettivi, che stimola la reciprocità e rende disponibili risorse cognitive (informazioni) o normative (fiducia), incidendo sulle opportunità individuali. Gli autori considerati i riferimenti teorici originari, attraverso i quali il concetto entra a pieno titolo nel dibattito delle scienze sociali, sono Bourdieu, Coleman, Putnam, Fukuyama e, infine, Portes e Sensenbrenner che lo applicano, più in particolare, allo studio delle migrazioni
