Interstices et informalité dans les sociétés contemporaines
digital

Anno:
2017
The author presents in a succinct way his sociological approach of the «interstices of everyday life» which was launched in the late Nineties. It concerns a considerable range of ordinary experiences of everyday life which are either «in-between» (first level of interstices), «marginal» (second level) or pertaining to «parallel worlds» (third level). One example of the first level is waiting, of the second is represented by gift, of the third by humour...

Tempo, Ritmo e Sociologia
digital

Anno:
2011
The author presents a concise and peculiar view on the studies and researches which have
been developed in the last 30 years or so about the social dimension of time. The article underlies
the persisting validity of the idea of time as a socio-cultural institution (Durkheim and his school)
and as a social construction (Berger and Luckmann); it also hints at the concept of «temporal
culture», which has been rarely employed in studies concerning social times. According to
the author, the main transformation concerning social times today is represented by the consequences
of globalization and related aspects, such as «agglutination» of experiences concerning
communication through space-time. In the last paragraph the question of rhythm in general and
particularly of social rhythms is discussed: the author argues that this concept, distinct from time,
deserves much more attention than it has received until now by social scientists interested in the
subject.
Key words: time, rhythm, globalization, network society, values.

Per debellare la crisi è l’ora della creatività
digital

Anno:
2009
Non si tratta certo di sminuire la gravità del fenomeno, ma di
segnalare le opportunità, basate sulla fiducia fra le persone e
la pratica del dono, che possono rinnovare i rapporti sociali e
creare una nuova cultura, non solo economicistica.

Scrivere, tra sociologia e letteratura
digital

Anno:
2008
In this article the author supports the hypothesis that a sociologist, or generally speaking a
social scientist, is a writer, even it is necessary to distinguish between uno scrivente (a sheer writing
subject) and uno scrittore (a writer strictly speaking), the difference being represented by the
quality of writing of the latter as compared to the former: in particular, a writer-sociologist will
make use of personal and discretionary choices as concerns written language. On the other hand,
the author illustrates some examples drawn by contemporary poetry in order to show how literary
production can contribute to give remarkable sociological insights. In conclusion, the article
suggests that social sciences can learn about their own subjects and issues from literature.
