No full textBeyond the Rhetoric of Revanchism Towards the Metropolitan Core: An Analysis of Symbolic Representations of Milan From Its Peripheries
No full textSocio-political research has shown that in metropolitan peripheries, populist parties have gained significant support. This is because these parties capitalise on a widespread feeling
of exclusion, leading to a revanchist social representation of affluent metropolitan centres. This article contributes to the debate on metropolitan dynamics by exploring the social representations of the centre–periphery relationship, showing how symbolic representations
play a role in shaping codes of action and revanchism alone is insufficient to understand the core–periphery relationship. Four suburbs with similar socioeconomic characteristics in the
functional urban area of Milan were selected. Milan is the most important Italian metropolis, and it has a relevant socio-political fracture. Semi-structured interviews were carried out to analyse the cultural meanings of living on the periphery among local leaders. The metropolitan
centre is perceived as necessary, evoking ‘efficient’ representations; however, these peripheral
contexts are meaningful places of belonging. This article shows that an analysis of the dynamics at work at the metropolitan level should consider peripheral contexts
Pandemic and family caregiving in rural areas : reflections after a participatory digital health intervention in Valle Camonica
No full textThe current pandemic has resulted in the withdrawal of all social and health services not aimed at combatting COVID-19. This has led to a weakening of care services for family caregivers, especially in remote areas. Moreover, the pandemic has revealed all the frailties of a socio-health system that rarely involves caregivers in the co-design of services. However, in recent years, there has been a debate about the importance of promoting participatory interventions to support carers. Digital health (DH) intervention has been suggested as a successful tool to as-sist remote carers and engage them. This article reflects on the outcomes of a participatory DH intervention in Valle Camonica for family caregivers. The results indicated how DH could be a valid solution to train caregivers safely and effectively, but also how these interventions could not be considered as a panacea for all the weaknesses of health and social services. Mutual psychological support and community belonging among caregivers are not optimal in a remote connection dimension. This article contributes to the literature on the engagement of caregivers in the co-design of care interventions, with particular attention to DH, by pointing out by pointing out certain aspects that need to be considered in the implementation amongst a fragile population in a rural setting
Recensioni
No full textl libro è il risultato della messa in comune delle esperienze e delle conoscenze di quattro sociologi che da anni si interrogano sulle dina-miche da una parte delle élites e su quelle della povertà dall’altra. Questo lavoro è particolar-mente da apprezzare in quanto raramente ricer-catori che affrontano segmenti così diversi della nostra società, lavorano congiuntamente. Serge Paugam si occupa principalmente delle dinami-che della povertà nelle società moderne, in un’ottica comparativa, con una particolare at-tenzione al caso europeo e con un focus anche sui meccanismi di solidarietà. L’oggetto di stu-dio di Bruno Cousin riguarda le dinamiche delle élites con una attenzione particolare alla sociabi-lità delle stesse, in contesti di auto-segregazione o di mixitè sociale, in un’ottica comparativa. Camilla Giorgetti ha privilegiato ricerche sulle disuguaglianze socio-spaziali in Francia e in Brasile, sulle rappresentazioni sociali dei senza-tetto, sempre in un’ottica comparativa. Jules Naudet, esperto della società indiana, si occupa delle diseguaglianze sociali e delle élites eco-nomiche in India
