This paper offers a review on some Italian movies, from the postwar period to the present, in order to investigate the role of lawyers in the popular culture. The analysis highlights different types of lawyers, different ways of interpreting their role, as well as their relation with the judiciary system. The paper also shows a remarkable difference between the image of lawyering revealed by the Italian cinema and the prevalent one in US movies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Complementary sources for the understanding of Neapolitan social history: the arts and crafts mentioned in a collection of Neapolitan funeral posters. This paper presents a subset of approximately 300 funeral posters, taken from a collection of some 1300 such items photographed in Naples and its Province, and giving the deceased person's nickname indicating his or her art or craft. After pointing out how the use of dialect in naming the art or craft sets the intended public of these posters apart from the general population of Naples, the paper goes on to list the posters by category, commenting on each one. There are six in all professionals, employed workers, self-employed workers, street vendors, domestic workers, women workers, practitioners of obsolete crafts. In concluding, the paper points out a peculiarity of these nicknames and associated crafts: they are a sign of Neapolitan resistence to modernization, also seen in the persistence up to the present of an "alleyway economy". An appendix gives the complete list of nicknames studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper aims to introduce the reflection upon the Mixed Methods (MM) approach and evaluation research that will be attained in the following contributions. It is by now largely recognised how rarely a single evaluation strategy can fully capture the entire complexity of social phenomena happening in the "real" world. Nowadays, many recognise that combining different strategies and techniques within one evaluative process is more efficient than using conventional evaluation approaches with a single research strategy. This article recomposes the development of a need for a MM approach in Italy. Moreover, other papers in this special issue are briefly presented by identifying a common thread, represented by the reflection suggested in the paper by Jennifer Greene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The authors argue that there are good reasons for seriously considering the dynamics of the peer group when discussing psychoanalytical case material. The setting and procedure have to protect and facilitate for the presenter and the group members to work together. The aim of this paper is to discuss the problems connected with presenting and discussing clinical psychoanalytical material in a peer group and to describe one such specific method, which the authors call the Weaving Thoughts method. The design is primarily inspired by Bion's formulation thoughts in search of a thinker. The group participants reflect on the presented clinical material in a way that the authors metaphorically describe as creating a weave of thoughts that emerges from the material. The aim of the method is to facilitate a work-group climate that allows thoughts to wander about, and to avert group members from debating and compromising the integrity of its members by letting basic assumptions come into power. The method is described from theoretical and practical points of view, with two illustrations of seminars according to this design and finally a discussion of the advantages and drawbacks of the method.

The paper highlights the need to reflect on the individual identification models underlying the training of the couple and family psychotherapist. These are complex processes that are difficult to specify but which deserve great attention. The trainee who already has personal psychoanalytic training must undergo a double mourning, that of the theoretical models of unipersonal psychology and that of his or her personal analysis, which he or she can only partially use. In fact, working in a multipersonal context-setting means training oneself to grasp the interactions between the participants and the manifestations of the ectopic unconscious that emerge. Moreover, in the training processes, the group experience of the learners, which dialogues with the groupness of the teachers, takes on great relevance. The group dimension is a fundamental experience that helps the therapist to continually confront the here and now that is generated in the horizontal exchanges of the group and that puts him in contact with the unexpected and the partiality of experience that he encounters in his work with couples and families. Finally, the reports presented by Grassi and Lucarelli preceding the reading of the work are reviewed and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The observations contained in Riccardo Marco Scognamiglio’s (2023a) paper “De tempore aut more” are an opportunity to give further considerations around the phenomenon described in “Presentification as maladaptive automatism in adolescence: possible correlated psychological manifestations” (Degasperi, 2023), and support questions and arguments of absolute relevance. At the same time, a prudent comparativism allows us to integrate the concept of presentification to highlight its possible maladaptive derivations. The latter can then be rigidly and pervasively expressed in individual behavior, to the point of giving shape to a possible lifestyle. The recovery of further descriptive models belonging to the past also suggests a broader consideration compared to current socio-cultural data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Covid-19 pandemic has required new reflections on the evaluation of multi-dimensional programs aimed at multiple stakeholders. The traditional approach, based on the blueprint approach, resulted unsuitable for grasping the complexity of the new scenario, due to its focus on objectives achieved. This paper aims to describe the evaluation of two projects for the inclusion of marginalized young people, through the Positive Thinking lenses. In fact, it turned out to be the theoretical approach most capable of responding to the complexities that emerged in this peculiar historical period. The evaluation becomes useful for triggering improvement actions and for capturing the efforts of the organizations. The contribution intends to open the theoretical reflection on the complexity of the programs, and on the role of the evaluator in accompanying the organizations by supporting them, in order to develop effective actions for the beneficiaries.

The paper proposes a case study about integration of focus group and survey to listen teenagers and preteens in the participatory evaluation of a local educational project. The contribution discusses strengths and weaknesses of the focus group as a participatory instrument in the evaluation process and the integration with the survey. Furthermore, the authors reflect about possible ways to enhance the approach, starting from the Youth Participatory Evaluation model and focusing on the role of teenagers in different evaluation stages.

This paper proposes a reflection on the connection between social innovation-driven social design and social impact evaluation (SIE). The author argues for a cognitive and learning function of SIE that can be conducted through the choice of methods, approaches and tools that can capture and enhance the innovations introduced by the programs. To this end, the construction path of the research design of the "Ri-belli" project, funded by the "Educational Poverty Alleviation Fund", is presented. The intervention is representative of the renewed system of second welfare, marked by the involvement of the private social sector in the policy making process and the desire to disseminate evaluative practice in the social sphere.

The birth of modern societies has been strongly influenced by the development of digital media, which has facilitated not only the transmission of information and symbolic content, but also the creation of new forms of action, interactions, and social relations. This article examines the repercussion that Clubhouse, a new kind of social network characterized by synchronicity and the use of voice, may generate in a legal and sociological perspective. The paper analyzes the underlying challenges for judicial interpretation in cases relating to defamation through Clubhouse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper elaborates the results of a research conducted on the use of the Development Contract by companies, an instrument that has become central to Italian industrial policy. What emerges is that the implementation of the contract tends to generate territorial differentiated networks of actors and interests. More specifically, the common thread concerns the role of individual companies in the formation and institutionalization of networks. The goal is to understand if and how the use of this tool has influenced the decision-making choices and competitive strategies of companies, triggering organizational modernization processes and facilitating development plans. Through the analysis of the investments made, it is therefore found that the Contract responds to three different functions, which in some cases are combined: an innovative function; a redistributive function, a containment function of industrial crises.

This paper aims to deepen the role of unions in the context of the implementation of “Industry 4.0” technologies at the level of SMEs. To this purpose, interviews were conducted with union representatives of the metalworking sector in the Veneto region, both at firm and territory level. The evidence has been organized around three dimensions: adaptation of firms to changes coming from the external environment; employees’ skills; attitude and support of management and ownership. The results show that there is a link between the prospects for technological innovation and the future of local bargaining strategies. Further considerations call into question the weakness of training processes, the poor planning of the management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

So far, food-delivery riders have been addressed in reference to broad socio-economic processes related to the diffusion of digital labour platforms. Adopting a dispositional approach, this paper frames the rider’s occupation as a specific and openended occupation. We try to shed light on the dynamics of differentiation and positioning within this occupational space, thus recomposing its heterogeneity. The article is based on a mixed-methods research carried out in Milan in 2020, centred on an “observant participation” of seven months, during which the researcher worked as a rider.

The influence of spirituality in organizational contexts has attracted a significant and growing number of scholars to understand whether and how spirituality can influence workplace behaviour. This paper aims to offer a critical reflection of the scientific literature related to spirituality at work. The corpus under analysis, identified through the SCOPUS database, consists of 359 entries. After having coded the textual material, a content analysis was conducted. From the analysis, it emerges how spirituality has the power to impact on both group and organizational levels, manifesting itself in behaviours and in attitudes with which we look at ourselves, others, and the world. This study represents the first review in Italian of the scientific literature dedicated to the theme of spirituality applied to occupational contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is part of a research on the evaluation of participatory practices and engagement activities of the donors of the Distance Support Service (DSS) of the Association Famiglie Nuove (Afn) Onlus. The theoretical framework of the survey is based on the Positive Thinking Approaches, a family of approaches that have in common the idea that «we learn more from success than from failure». In this direction, the use of an evaluative perspective open to the «discovery» of successes, aimed at identifying the main changes in the DSS sector (such as relational proximity and openness towards the educational community), made it possible to build the steps of the research in a participated way, by interacting the needs of the operators with the needs for change expressed by the donors involved in the survey.

This paper proposes a reflection on the critical aspects of implementing an ethnographic study mediated by the use of information and communication technology (ICT), using as a case study a pilot research that was carried between October and December 2020. The recruitment of the study participants was conducted through the use of social media, the communications with the participants was developed via e-mail, the interviews were carried out with a videoconference platform, and also the interaction between the authors needed to analyze and discuss the collected data was conducted using both synchronous and asynchronous online communication. The general aim is to promote a more reflection on the use of ICT in contemporary ethnography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Delphi is a technique born in the fifties of the last century that takes advantage of the group to collect opinions and build a consensual representation. Starting from a research experience in the socio-health field on the issue of interprofessional care, the paper aims to propose a methodological evaluation of the technique, highlighting its limits and potential for social research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the reflexivity issue in scientific research practice. Starting from a theoretical reflection on the epistemological and methodological reasons listing reflexivity among the main practical issues of social and evaluative research, the contribution seeks to highlight how the sus-tainability of reflective research practices actually swings between adequacy and challenges. With particular reference to pragmatic approaches to knowledge, it is believed that the main elements that can undermine reflex-ivity are the contexts in which the investigation takes place and the language's indexicality. Finally, particular attention is paid to the transactional nature of the evaluative research in which contexts and languages constitute a mix of indisputable relevance, for its effectiveness and quality.

The increasing complexity of the relation law-society elicits new conceptual tools, that is to say a cognitive approach for understanding the legal sphere beyond the liberal-positivist legacy. Starting from some sparks provided by Gabriel Tarde and Leon Petrażycki, this paper draws a theoretical model concerning the cognitive dimension. The analysis of its levels allows to discuss some current societal pathologies (i.e. populism) in the light of the contemporary democratic-constitutional systems and makes room for conclusions about the proposal for a cognitive turn after the linguistic turn of the last century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper introduces the special issue on Law, Sociology and Cognitive Science. The underlying argument is that only if sociology of law goes beyond its epistemological confinement, it will allow formulating plausible predictions and explanations, and it will provide verifiable theories. It was precisely in the work of its pioneers that sociology was conceived of as an interdisciplinary science. We also believe to be scientifically controversial that disciplines belonging to the realm of social sciences offer visions that are inexplicably incompatible with the natural history of the world, and inconsistent with one another. As the epistemological wall separating the natural sciences from the human sciences is brittler than we used to think, a renewed cognitive (or sociocognitive) approach, in both its symbolic and its behavioural paradigms, may help sociologists to reconnect, and make sense of, the multiple levels of understanding that help explain social life and social normativity (including its “legal rules” subset). Finally, it is necessary to dwell on some of the main epistemological and ethical obstacles that prevent the establishment of an ongoing and permanent dialogue between social sciences and cognitive sciences.

The paper examines the practices of dissent and the modalities of protecting order, with the aim of tracing a history of the first decade of United Italy through the prism of urban riots and the consequent response of Liberal governments. The study will focus on the operational effectiveness of the forces of law and order in a phase in which the establishment of the new police system was confronted with the cases of participation and elements of conflict that emerged with Unification.
