  • Mobility and multilocal identities

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Matteo Colleoni, Simone Caiello
      The essay proposes a reflection on multilocalism on the base of the most recent international studies, with attention to the impact of this phenomenon on the identity of families, migrants and highly mobile workers and to the associated socio-territorial dynamics. Attention will also be paid to the impact that events such as the Covid-19 pandemic have had on the limi-tation of freedom of movement and on the life and identity of multi-local subjects.

  • Peripheries: from the game of opposites to the urban archipelago

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Giampaolo Nuvolati
      Urban sociology is in a phase of reconsideration of the paradigms that have characterized it for a good part of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. Today the relaunch of the discipline strongly depends on the questioning of dichotomies such as ur-ban vs. rural, center vs. periphery, local vs. global, and the acceptance of a more complex and original articulation of the constituent parts of social phenomena at the territorial level. In par-ticular, this contribution proposes a reflection that, starting from the concept of archipelago, redesigns the urban in a perspective where the concept of periphery loses the meaning usually attributed to it, to be replaced by that of polycentrism. This approach does not deny the im-portance of the territories and the geo-referencing of the phenomena, but frames them in a broader and geometrically variable perspective.

  • Right to take care of common goods as school of democracy

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Daniela Ciaffi, Emanuela Saporito
      The intersection between law and urban sociology opens up scenarios for experimenting with new democratic models, allowing us to redefine public services, urban spaces, territories as common goods. According to the proposed perspective, the increasingly widespread prac-tices of active citizenship, which takes care of common goods, transform citizens / inhabitants from users / consumers of services and spaces to "prosumers", suggesting that we are in a phase of paradigm change in representation and definition of public institutions. The school is proposed as a concrete field of reflection, in its passage from public service to common good, when it becomes territorialized, as the object of care of the whole "educating community", able to draw on the socio-spatial characteristics of the educational need.

  • Urban metamorphosis in times of pandemic: some considerations

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Antonietta Mazzette
      This essay presents some insights from a survey carried out after the issuance of the Prime Minister's Decree of March, 8th 2020, establishing the measures to contrast and contain the spread of the Sars Cov-2 virus. The survey was developed into three steps: first, an online questionnaire on Safety and Trust in a time of health emergency was administered and a snowball sampling technique was adopted; second, a group of open questions was submitted to the interviewees that had previously replied to the questionnaire and expressed their will-ingness to be contacted for further investigations; third, additional questions on the manage-ment of the health emergency were later administered to this same group of interviewees. For the sake of brevity, in this essay we outline some issues that emerged in the second step of the survey, highlighting the urban changes linked to the emergency.

  • Monoscalarity of architecture, multiscalarity of habitation. Notes on a
           problematic relationship in pandemic times

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Leonardo Chiesi, Paolo Costa
      Architecture education is mainly monoscalar, in the sense that it tends to focus on one lev-el of scale. Habitation, instead, is multiscalar. The asynchrony between design and habitation produces a tension between the built environment and its users. The paper connects the effects of this tension with the issues generated by pandemic health emergencies, analysing how lim-ited sociality imposed by prevention measures affects habitation.

  • Coevolution: the challenge of a systemic view

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Ilaria Beretta
      The current pandemic crisis has highlighted the need for the adoption of a co-evolutionary approach in the interpretation of what is happening. The morbidity of the virus correlates with morphological, environmental, cultural, socio-economic factors; the pandemic challenges linear thinking and monocausal explanations. This contribution illustrates how this approach can help to interpret and - why not - to find a solution to the two major current crises: the pandemic and the ecological one.

  • Nature or technics' Sars-CoV-2, new materialisms and critique of the
           Anthropocene

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Luigi Pellizzoni
      The Sars-CoV-2 pandemic urges environmental sociology to reflect on the appropriate ap-proaches to account for it. For long the discipline was dominated by the debate between real-ism and constructivism, de facto privileging the latter. The "ontological turn" in the social and human sciences has brought to the fore anti-dualistic materialisms, on paper suited to deal with a socio-material hybrid such as Sars-CoV-2. However, the emancipatory implications drawn from the critique of modern dualisms are not reflected in a situation in which value extraction coincides ever more with a denial of the distinction between nature and technology. The debate over the Anthropocene provides a perspective useful to bring clarity.

  • Towards a sociology of spatial event

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Alfredo Mela
      The concept of "event" is used in some fields of research in urban, regional and environ-mental sociology, but has not so far received a univocal definition and consistent develop-ments. However, it is at the centre of numerous debates in contemporary philosophy, as well as in other fields of knowledge. This article examines some aspects of this reflection, trying to draw from them indications for a more solid foundation of the idea of the spatial event, con-sidered as an unforeseen and contingent phenomenon, which refers not only to the effects of social interactions, but involves at the same time a multiplicity of non-human elements en-dowed with specific agency, be they natural or technological entities. This task also requires defining the relationship between the event and the situation from which it originates, as well as the ways in which it can bring about a radical transformation of this situation. Based on these considerations, the article concludes by posing the question of the Covid 19 syndemics as a catastrophic event, which nevertheless has the potential to transform the situation at vari-ous spatial levels.

  • Place and Metaterritory as space of relationships

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Elena Battaglini
      The Sars-Cov-2 pandemic is challenging paradigms that have so far informed the theoreti-cal and the defining apparatuses of the concept of territory. Therefore, the disciplinary statutes on which they relied are showing their inadequacy, so much so that reinterpretations and re-codifications are needed. In order to provide a semantically sharper definition to what is being experienced in living today, this article is attempting to circumscribe this concept in its "identi-ty" dimension, through which communities are coping with the biophysical and built environ-ment in relation to local and global challenges. In the strand of concept papers and hypothesis-building studies, this contribution does not purport to provide answers. It is aiming to pinpoint a new research-field for regional studies, circumscribing either a research agenda, or the level of an abstraction to which a spatial sociology (Mela, 2006; Mela, 2020) may hopefully confer its answers. In this perspective, this article attempts to reframe the concept of territory, as an experience of space-time processuality and it will introduce that of metaterritory, as a space for collaborative relationships.

  • Populism in Alpine regions between Nativism and Recognition Drive. The
           Lega Nord’s case study in Trentino and Aosta Valley

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Claudio Marciano, Natalia Magnani, Vincenzo Idone Cassone
      The recent political results of Northern League in Trentino and Valle d’Aosta show the in-tegration of Right-wing populism in a peculiar setting, characterised by high density of moun-tain territories and a strong autonomism tradition. The paper, in relation to the Lega Nord’s phenomenon in the Alpine regions, adopts a multi-disciplinary perspective focusing on the discursive patterns of populism, nativism and recognition drive. Moreover, describing the con-textual and setting variables, including economic crisis, migrations and local adoption of ne-oliberal politics.
