The Poem of Memory. "Triumphi"
No full textWriting of the "Triumphi" Fabio Finotti finds that its author undercuts a medieval idea of ascent to God in the structural progression from Love to Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, and Eternity. Here Petrarch programmatically counters Dante, transforming a universal, eschatological vision into a subjective, cultural and psychological experience

Unspoken Stories Underlying a More Aware Europe: The Multimodal and Multidiscursive (Mis)Construction of Eastern Europe
No full textThe main purpose of this research is to unearth the practices and discourses underlying the rise of a dichotomy that has long cleft Europe, that is, Eastern and Western Europe. Starting from the concept of civilisation, first expounded in the France of the Enlightenment, this study, which heavily draws on Larry Wolff’s (1994) analysis of orientalism, aims to explore, from a multimodal and social-semiotic viewpoint, a series of enduring myths surrounding Eastern Europe generated by Western European culture.
The initial sections of this study will explore the way the Grand Tour, a voyage of discovery noblemen would undertake as part of their educational program, and western politicians and clergymen on diplomatic missions to Russia and Poland, resulted in a boom in travel journals that would significantly affect the (mis)construction of Eastern Europe in the eyes of westerners.
The second section, which refers to diaries, travel journals and memoirs authored by western travellers, will delve into the way such misleading narratives crept into scientific and medical discourses. In this respect, attention will be focused on a series of revealing excerpts from William Coxe’s (1795) diary, which reports the false sighting of a bison in Lithuanian forests and the invention of Plica Polonica, a fabricated illness for which no medical evidence has ever been provided.
Finally, the concluding section will seek to establish how the meaning-making process, described by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006) and Kress (2010) in their investigation into social-semiotics and multimodality, can be triggered by maps, semiotic entities in their own right. In this regard, this study will analyse some samples of maps (Boria 2012) drawn up in the context of the Cold War and explain just how much ideology these conveyed.
In light of the entrance of multiple ex-Soviet Republics into the European Union (EU) (e.g., Hungary, Poland, among others), the ultimate aim of this contribution is to heighten awareness about the need to overcome internal struggles inside Europe to cultivate and nurture a shared supranational memory decoupled from divisive nationalistic narratives

Understanding politics and society
No full textThis book presents political sociology as a connective social science that studies political phenomena by creating fruitful connections with other perspectives. The relationship between politics and society is more complex than ever due to the emergence of new power structures, forms of conflict organization and management, and social practices of political participation. Several scholars describe this historical phase as the 'de-politicization of representative politics'. The book addresses classical themes of and approaches to political sociology, but also dedicates several chapters to contemporary developments within political sociology, including, for instance, the role of the internet and bottom-up political communication in social movements. In addition, the volume acts as a professional tool for those scholars and researchers that are beginning to study political processes from a sociological perspective.
"This book joins a growing trend in both sociology and political science: After a phase in which the former turned to economics for its models, and the latter became increasingly presentist and non-comparative, both political scientists and sociologists have returned to their traditional juncture. This book links the two fields, with a deep historical and comparative approach and an encyclopedic bibliography. Ranging from Marx and Weber to the impacts of globalisation and social movements, it will be of great interest to specialists and students alike in both disciplines."
(Sidney Tarrow, Cornell University, USA)
"Such a book is urgently needed. Fabio de Nardis’ contribution is remarkable in his effort to bridge political sciences and sociology. This is a book that lays the foundations for a new 'connective social science'. The account of the co-evolution between politics and society is not only encompassing, by reflecting the encyclopedic knowledge of the author, but it is also thrilling in the way it draws on comparative insights from different disciplines and country contexts. Ultimately, the author is clear in his intent that the new reality of globalisation and the urgent political challenges it poses also call for a global re-orientation of a discipline: a political sociology for the emerging global society and politics."
(Hans-Jörg Trenz, University of Copenhagen, Denmark)
"This timely and erudite book masterfully demonstrates that, in order to understand current developments in politics, we must (re)turn to political sociology. Fabio de Nardis forcefully argues how we can build on its vast and diverse theoretical traditions, commitment to comparative empirical research and capacity to dialogue with other social sciences. The book will be extremely valuable to scholars to learn how the discipline has tackled key issues in state-society relations but also grasp contemporary tensions in a globalised era from populism and territorial cleavages to the IT revolution."
(Virginie Guiraudon, Sciences Po, Paris, France)
"The field of political sociology interconnects politics and society in several arenas, which growing but often unrelated bodies of literature have studied. This book is unique in identifying these multiple and complex interconnections, describing and examining the key research traditions and presenting them in a clear and systematic manner. It shows how politics is increasingly taking place in multiple societal domains and therefore how an interdisciplinary approach is needed to capture its multiple manifestations. Fabio de Nardis integrates many of the best insights from the fields of politics and sociology. First-rate awareness of these related subjects and the ability to interconnect them in such different domains as political communication, political parties and civil society organisations is the hallmark of this book, which makes it appealing to a broad audience."
(Carlo Ruzza, University of Trento, Italy
