Through a brief reconstruction of the debate on social rights, the first part of the article aims at problematizing the general distinction between social and cultural citizenship together with their mutual connections and overlapping. It is argued that, far from being conceivable as impermeable boundaries, the separations between cultural and social rights are rather porous and flexible. In its second part, the article tackles more specifically the problem, focusing on the particular European conception of cultural citizenship. In its conclusion the role of a universalist system of education for the full enjoyment of cultural citizenship is highlighted.

The article considers the theme of urban subcultures and focuses on the evolution of hip hop subculture. Hip hop subculture is made up of elements such as writing, break-dance, djing and rap. Rap as a musical genre changes over time, with the affirmation, for example, of Gangsta-rap. Recently, the Trap music genre has also emerged. The main features of Trap are identifiable in the rhetorical topoi of violence, individualism, references to drugs and urban suburbs. The paper analyses these characteristics and relates them to traditional rap, highlighting what the Trap genre communicates about urban suburbs and marginal young people.

The economic crisis that has hit hard on traditional markets and businesses, as well as the spread of digital platforms, have encouraged the emergence of new cultural practices and new forms of meeting between supply and demand for goods and services. Public attention has been directed towards new practices, such as the sharing economy, which expresses the emergence of a real revolution based on the culture of reuse and direct access. Practices, in other words, ‘connoted by the hybridization between formal and informal actions and oriented towards the re-embeddedness of economic exchange’ (Arcidiacono, 2013). Jeremy Rifkin (2014) prefigures a new ‘participatory economy’, made possible by digital technology and within ‘freedom of access exceeds the ownership, sustainability supplants consumerism, cooperation ousts competition. An economy where the logic of the delegation is overcome and all the actors interact and release new resources in order to identify and implement responses to their needs’. The aim of this work is to advance a reflection on how the sharing economy can help shape new forms of welfare, where social ties are increasingly the foundation of economic exchange and cooperation (Pais, Mainieri, 2015), looking at the potential of the community economy and the recovery of the reciprocity and sociality values.

Educational poverty concerns children’s access to educational resources. Families are recognized as crucial subjects for accessing to them. Hence, to contrast educational poverty, family-based interventions are advisable. This article describes the first Italian project adopting the ‘Family Impact Lens’, a family-focused approach to policy and practice. It was applied as a model for the monitoring and the impact evaluation of the project ‘Open Doors’, aimed to contrast educational poverty in an Italian marginal neighbourhood. A theory-based participatory methodology was deployed: both monitoring and evaluation were intended as accompanying processes of the project, leading the operators first to share the theoretical model and subsequently to assess their ability to apply it in their work. The Italian project intended to strengthen family and social educational relationships of children by acting on the 5 guiding criteria of the Family Impact Lens. This article reports the path carried out during the first year, consisted of a survey on 140 families, a questionnaire addressed to 42 educators, and 4 metaplans including all the different typologies of operators involved in the project. Results point out some first operational guidelines for improving the adherence to the Family Impact Lens in the next two years of the project.

The article is devoted to the research and analysis of the migratory moods of students of higher education institutions of Central and Eastern Europe and their temporary employment (paid work and volunteering) during studies as an important factor of their life prospects. Countries that are interested in ‘brain gain’ and know their economic cost are pursuing an active and purposeful migration policy to attract highly qualified specialists from developing countries. These countries have a facade of the democratic regime, general inefficiency of economies, the decline in the level of culture and education in society, corruption, criminal capitalism, the ‘oligarchic’ concept of governance, all of which become the push factors driving the migration of young people with higher and post-university education. The results of the international study are based on a sample database of surveyed students in the 2018/19 academic year in the Eastern higher education regions of the European Higher Education Area. The study was conducted in higher education institutions in five countries (Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Serbia and Hungary). According to the study results, the more economically developed country the lower the level of migratory moods of young people. [...]

This paper analyses the recent editions of Olympic Summer Games. It examines the changes and political, economical and cultural dimensions of mega-events, underlining the links among life, culture, mediascapes and cultural identities. The analysis starts with London Olympic Games 2012 and continues with the Games in Rio 2016: the primary changes in urban infrastructures and the social, political and economical transformation of the two cities together with the great impact of Olympic ceremonies in media images are introduced in the paper, with a particular reference to the symbolic representations of opening and closing ceremonies. The above mentioned events are an imaginative tour, which links knowledge, heritage, history and global values, demonstrating the interrelation between sport and other social spheres. Sport mega-events seem to create infinite world, connected with global and local culture. The opening and closing ceremonies represent also new symbolic values, and some ‘economies of imagination’, which reform urban infrastructures and open new social identity and heritage.

This study examines knowledge and beliefs of the general public about epilepsy and the discriminations of people with epilepsy. Employing qualitative research methods data were collected from both the general public and people with epilepsy of two purposively selected kebeles in Mizan Teferi town. Twenty four non-epileptic household heads (twelve from each kebele) and ten informants of people with epilepsy were purposively selected in order to gather information on their beliefs and knowledge about epilepsy and the discriminations of people with epilepsy. In addition, key informant interviews were conducted among eligible general public such as religious heads, community elders and government officials in the study areas to gather additional data on the issue under investigation. Study findings indicate that people in the study areas believe epilepsy is caused by evil spirit. It is a transmittable and trans-generational disease that it could be inherited from parents. As a result, the general public in the study areas develop negative attitudes against people with epilepsy. The non-epileptics avoid having marriage relations with the epileptics; they do not allow the children of people with epilepsy to learn along with the children of the general public. People with epilepsy are found as incompetent and hence they are denied employment opportunities and are outcast from the community.

This essay focuses on recent Habermas’s reflection upon the ʻItalian crisisʼ, with the aim to investigate the connection between his recent essayistic production on the crisis of European Union and the speech delivered in Berlin on July 4, 2018, when he was awarded the German-French Journalist Prize. He shed light on the ʻItalian crisisʼ and European incapability to realize the specific needs of the poorer member states, which risk being overwhelmed by old and new populisms fired by anti-migrant and anti-liberal rhetoric. Habermas’s speech, entitled Are we still good Europeans? , can be interpreted as a sample of ʻquality pressʼ, useful to build a coherent public sphere founded on ʻconsidered public opinionsʼ. Thus, Habermas’s journalistic insights allow us to update his assertions about the future of the European Union which he already focused on in Europe: The Faltering Project (2008), The Crisis of the European Union (2011) and The Lure of Technocracy (2013). The Italian political crisis is also a communicative affair, as Habermas points out criticizing German stubbornness in approving economic austerity, thus neglecting the looming risks of incommunicability between national and supra-national governances.

Durkheim classic Le Suicide (1897) gave birth to ‘sociology of suicide’ and set down an influential theoretical and methodological framework to study the phenomenon. Its impact notwithstanding, the framework has received trenchant critiques as well as attracted modifications and revisions by many sociologists. Whilst the sociology of suicide appears not to attract large numbers of scholars in the global South, even though the magnitude of the problem is striking in some countries, we consider a way of (re)animating the area of study. To this end, we focus on Bangladesh as case study to think about as well as think with Durkheimian and post-Durkheimian propositions concerning sociology of suicide. Stated differently, we employ Bangladesh to work through some of the tenets, contestations, and revisions regarding suicide made by post-Durkheimian sociologists. Characterized by high rates of suicide, Bangladesh is an amply suitable case given the lack of any evidence of research envisioned under the framework of sociology of suicide. Taking off this we then make some suggestions regarding how sociologists in Bangladesh and more broadly the global South might (re)vitalize their methodological and epistemological work on suicide.

Migration processes are accompanied by problems in both the political and economic spheres of host countries and the psychological, psychosocial and social well-being of migrants themselves. Children and adolescents become susceptible; their protest behaviour hampers their personal development and adaption to the new environment. This raises the issue of examining the conditions and mechanisms for maintaining effective adaptation of children. The research aims at identifying the difficulties of ethnocultural adaptation of migrant children and to rationalizing psychosocial work with them. There were applied the theoretical and methodological analysis and written and oral interviews to identify the features of adaptation to living in Russia. One revealed a low level of ethnocultural adaptation of adolescents from the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus, which is caused by poor command of Russian; lack of motivation to use two languages (Russian and native) among close relatives in the family environment; lack of motivation and determination to learn the culture, customs, and traditions of the Russia people; a cultural conflict that impedes interaction with the local population. The research substantiates the need for developing a model of psychosocial support for adaptation of migrant children by specialists of educational, social and national organizations.
