    Processi di terziarizzazione e disuguaglianze socio-occupazionali in Italia: un'analisi a partire dal locale

    No full text
    Negli ultimi anni in letteratura si è molto parlato di processo di terziarizzazione come una delle componenti fondamentali del passaggio ad un regime di regolazione sociale post-fordista. Molto spesso i modelli di terziarizzazione sono stati indagati su scala nazionale, poca attenzione è stata invece assegnata alla dimensione locale. Il paper, dopo aver affrontato i termini del dibattito in corso, si propone di colmare questa lacuna per il caso italiano, concentrando l’attenzione sul modo in cui il processo di terziarizzazione si modifica a secondo degli specifici micro contesti territoriali in cui si viene a realizzare. A partire da un’analisi su dati ecologici dei Censimenti 2001 viene costruita una tipologia di otto forme differenti di terziarizzazione territoriale. Si passa quindi ad analizzare in che modo all'interno di tali modelli si è evoluta la struttura professionale e sociooccupazionale, per mettere in luce i diversi percorsi di “disuguaglianza” sociale che si sono innescati.In the past few years, several authors described the process of tertiarisation as one of the fundamental components of the current shift toward a post-fordist social regulation. Tertiarisation models have been often investigated on a national scale; on the contrary, very few attention has been paid to the local level. After having discussed the general terms of this topic, the following paper aims to fill this gap with regard to the Italian case. The authors observe how the processes of tertiarisation change in relation to the micro-territorial contexts in which they take place. Starting by an analysis of the ecological data provided by the 2001 Census, the authors provide a typology including eight different kinds of territorial tertiarisation. Afterward, they show how the professional and socio-occupational structure developed inside these models, and shed light on the different paths of social inequality produced in the course of time

    Digital Practices, Communicative Codes and Social Inequalities: a Case Study During the Pandemic in Italy

    This paper analyses the complex relationship between digital practices, communicative codes and social inequalities in the period of the pandemic in Italy, through the analysis of data collected from a broader research project based on a web survey administered to 13,473 Italians. The study examined the use of social media by the respondents to acquire information on the Covid 19 emergency situation. After having carried out a theoretical overview, making reference to the perspective of Mannheim - above all in the direction developed by Bernstein - multiple regression models were constructed; these were aimed at identifying possible relationships between aspects related to the use of social media as an information source and the degree of trust in the information conveyed, and the socio-cultural and occupational conditions of the respondents. The main results showed that disadvantaged groups are more inclined than other groups to find and trust information on social media, as this channel responds to the horizontal mode of communication that is more consistent with the specific code they possess

    Education and Universalism in Europe. When Education Supports Democracy

    No full text
    The increasing of unemployment, social insecurity and poverty are making many Europeans contest the democratic foundations of Europe. It is a world systemic crisis that, on the one hand, nurtures the migration flows, on the other hand, it intensifies the individualist tenets of neoliberalism and contemporarily the hostility against migrants to which the social insecurity is often attributed because in a sense they are the evident proof of the end of welfare assured by Nation-State in the past. In this context, it is relevant to understand the role of education in promoting the "democratic universalism", the founding value of democracy according to which institutions should remove social inequalities. Today this value is in crisis also because it asks to be re-elaborated recognising cultural pluralism, especially if we consider European societies are becoming multicultural increasingly

    Can Schools Help Working-Class Students Access University?

    This paper analyses the complex relationship between social classes, scholastic stratification and educational choices in Italy, paying due attention to the role teachers may play in enhancing working-class students’ chances to attend university. Our findings show on the one hand how the Italian educational system contributes to reproducing social inequalities, on the other hand how individuals can challenge the system, by reversing the abovementioned negative trend. In fact, working-class students are encouraged to go on to university, when they encounter teachers who inspire them through a positive relationship, good expertise and interesting lessons. In such instances, teachers can become “transformative intellectuals” who contribute to change students’ social dispositions towards education

    Le configurazioni organizzative dell'alternanza scuola-lavoro in Italia

    No full text
    The essay wonders about the implementation of the School–Work Alternance in Italy in the four years following the enactment of l. 107/2015, before the guidelines related to the reformulation of ASL provided by Law 145 in 2018. The discussed data were collected by a sample survey conducted through an interview with a questionnaire (CAWI), addressed to school representatives of SWA in Italy. The basic hypothesis is that the type of relationship between schools and the organisations involved in the ASL projects may shape up to be not only according to the mere opposition between the resistance to change and the acceptance of the idea that secondary education should be geared more towards meeting the needs of the labour market. The research is exploratory and requires further development; however, the survey results lead to the identification of four possible different SWA configurations, one of which is characterised by school–driven innovation and another is based on the integration of the former with other organisations

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
