Pensare un'antropologia del welfare. Etnografie dello Stato sociale in Italia
No full textIl volume indaga da una prospettiva antro- pologica il welfare in Italia, con due obiettivi: da un lato, proporre una ricognizione quali- tativa delle declinazioni dello stato sociale contemporaneo, mostrandone ambiguità e contraddizioni; dall’altro, mettere in luce il contributo che l’etnografia può fornire all’a- nalisi delle pratiche, delle politiche e delle rappresentazioni del welfare.
Entrambi si fondano sul presupposto che il welfare sia un contesto di ricerca privile- giato per l’antropologia
Marginal Uncertainties Making a Living and Working on the Outskirts of Milan
Full text linkIn this article we question the meanings and social practices related to living and working in the Social Housing neighbourhoods of Milan’s present-day suburbs. Through the reconstruction of several narratives, we shed light on how uncertainty characterises the professional everyday lives of those social actors who play a particularly significant role in Milan’s complex arena of social housing management (social workers; bailiffs; inspectors; “trouble-solvers”). Isolation, neglect and conflict are the main terms used by the social actors, both to describe the ongoing housing precarity of those who are at risk of losing their homes and to frame the current conditions of social housing. These represent crucial interpretative keys for developing a thick understanding of the housing crisis.</p
L’antropologia urbana italiana. Un inquadramento diacronico
Full text linkThe article traces the history of urban anthropology in Italy, resuming a three-stage division proposed by Fulvia D'Aloisio in 2011: propaedeutic phase (between the 1950s and the 1980s), phase of definition and acquisition of visibility (between the 1980s and the mid-1990s), phase of consolidation, systematization, institutional recognition and the opening of new research strands (between the mid-1990s and the first decade of the 2000s). To these phases is added a fourth, concerning the most recent developments in anthropological investigation of cities. Subsequently, opening up the reflection to an interdisciplinary perspective – embracing the field of critical urban studies – the article defines the research object of 'urban transformations', connecting it to the broader analysis of social change. Urban dimension and social change will emerge as two interconnected elements, which assume contextually and historically determined peculiar characteristics

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
