Rileggere The Hobo 100 anni dopo. Dalla Homelessness di frontiera alla Homelessness di confino novitàdigital

Anno: 2023

People who are homeless represent – today as a hundred years ago – one of the most extreme forms of poverty. Too often, the lack of recognition of the social problem adds up to the personal drama of a condition of grave poverty. Following Nels Anderson’s unsurpassed text The Hobo as a conceptual map, a reflection on some selected theoretical and analytical points related to homelessness is proposed...

Religione, economia e civiltà: le scienze sociali nel futuro della preistoria digital

di Francesco Orazi

Anno: 2022

The article discusses the interpretative effects of recent archaeological discoveries on the “conventional” ways of social sciences to explain civilization processes and the consequent postulate that economics is a naturalized science. It will be argued that human groups’ existential placement in a vital world is a necessary condition for forming their economic and social structures. The hypothesis of the work is that civilization was articulated through three media between the biological and social nature of men...

La transizione all’età adulta dei minori stranieri non accompagnati in Italia digital

di Rita Bichi, Emanuela Bonini

Anno: 2021

This article presents the main results of a research – commissioned by UNICEF, UNHCR and IOM – on the factors that facilitate or constrain the transition to adulthood of the unaccompanied and separated children. The research has highlighted, first of all, the artificiality of a distinction between “children” (UASC) and “adults” (UASC who turned 18) that does not take due account of the transitional process of becoming adults, the cultural, social and gender differences that affect this process and the vulnerabilities to which this category of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers are exposed to...

La ricchezza della sharing economy digital

di Carla Lunghi

Anno: 2017

In contemporary Western societies, as Bourdieu had already clearly stated, capital can not be limited to the economic dimension because it embraces other aspects. Likewise, wealth and also poverty do not depend only by the availability of money but involve areas of experience traditionally excluded from economic calculation and financial exchanges. The article shows how, in the manifold universe of sharing economy, some experiences arise and can generate value (and in some cases also economic profits) starting from what today people most need: relationships, recognition of capacity and knowledge not always appreciated by the labor market, re-occupation of the local space, leisure time, safety, creativity. All these aspects are real forms of wealth, which are circulated thanks to the digital platforms studied in the research presented here, and prefigure a future in which the economic logic should include other dimensions traditionally left on the fringes of market exchanges.
