The development of ICT has important consequences on social experience and on the processes of subjectivation. These changes have contributed to undermining some assumptions of sociological theory, such as the status of subject and object of knowledge, the concepts of actor, action and the social, the conditions of possibility of social criticism. The paper reconstructs some of the main logic of transformation of these assumptions, moving from a discussion of L. Gallino's theses on the relationship between subjectivity, socio-technical change of the web, changes in the elaboration of knowledge and new forms of social criticism. It shows how the epistemic shift generated by these changes leads to an anti-essentialist critique of sociological categories. In this line some critical potentialities of the Actor-Network Theory concepts, of the Goffmanian category of frame and of the infra-empirical perspective proposed by the socio-analysis are shown.

The incomplete paper by Max Weber, Georg Simmel as Sociologist is published for the first time in Italian. The author of the introduction treats this publication - that he edited and whose translation from German he supervised - as an occasion to underline the importance of the relationship between Weber and Simmel and to briefly summarize the complex debate emerged from the studies- now numerous-on this topic. Moreover he poses some interrogative about the interpretation proposed in 1972 by D.N. Levine regarding Weber's ideas on the issue of «objectivity» in Simmel, at the time of the publication of the same paper on the American journal «Social Research». [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Taking their inspiration from philosophy, human sciences have learnt that collecting people's life history is fundamental to understand and clarify situations and the «lebenswelt» of human beings. Life histories and the narrations of self provide the human scientist a deeper wiew and comprehension of the causes and reasons that other methodologies, such as observation, cannot get. Everyone is a storyteller of himself and such narrations of self enable us to know the invisible and the inner life of all our similars. Starting from this convinction Duccio Demetrio sees writing as a fundamental exercise that everyone should do in order to get a better knowledge of himself. An exercise that is also and mainly a pleasure and a way to «play seriously» with our own identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In his novel, Machines Like Me (2019), Ian McEwan offers an interesting example of "alternate history" while dealing with crucial ethical issues connected with the development of Artificial Intelligence. Instead of setting his story in the future, the author chooses to set it in the past, but he radically changes the contours of the latter. Hence, the England of the early 1980s is turned into a technologically advanced society, well ahead of the scientific progress of the early 21st century. Thus, the future casts its light on the past in what appears as a typically postmodernist mélange: besides mingling genres (from speculative fiction to uchronia), McEwan also performs an intriguing hybridization of fact and fiction. The paper intends to explore the rich historical dimension of the novel, which betrays the author's interest in the reflection on history and on its narrativization - as well as its manipulation and/or contamination - within the literary text.

In the nineties, a debate on the "impossible" hypothesis of a victory for the Third Reich in the Second World War and what would happen after it ran through German historiography. According to this interpretation, National Socialism would have been an extreme and unrepeatable phenomenon. After its definitive affirmation, a process of progressive moderation would have started. "If Hitler had won, National Socialism would be stifled in its radicalism, or it would have become bourgeois," writes Alexander Demandt in Wenn Hitler gewonnen hätte (1995). Arne Lubos' novel Schwiebus (1980) anticipates this debate by a decade and develops the motif of "Nazism after Nazism" in an all-historical key. It denies "normalizing" perspectives and outlines scenarios in which National Socialist hegemony has given rise to a regime in which repression and terror are not entirely evident but no less widespread and frightening. Our paper aims to explain its narrative strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Elias extensively studied the socialization process through figurations. However, he never explored specifically gender socialization and gender relations. Integrating the eliasian perspective with the one of Connell about configurations of gender practices, the paper investigates what are the characteristics of the gender socialization process in Italian families and the relationship between family figurations and the configurations of gender practices. We used both quantitative data, collected through the European Values Study survey, and 197 qualitative interviews with the members (parents and children of different genders) of 48 Italian families. The quantitative data depict a country still traditional in terms of gender attitudes, even if with significant differences between generations, while the qualitative ones show a more nuanced picture. Indeed, parents and children share an egalitarian vision of gender roles, but gender practices both inside and outside home continue to be differentiated for men and women, especially between mothers and fathers. Every eliasian figuration inside families, then, is based on asymmetrical configurations of practices of gender. In this way, the socialization process to gender, thanks to the civilization process between parents and children, tends to reproduce familiar figurations that are intimately gendered and asymmetrical and that are not problematized nor by sons nor by daughters.
