- 2017

In: Rassegna Italiana di Sociologia. - 0486-0349. ; 28:2, s. 353-380

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this article is to analyze the social and cultural conditions for upper secondary students’ access to higher education and ability to navigate in the complex national and international educational markets: what are elite students’ dispositions towards higher education and what resources do students with differing dispositions rely upon in shaping their choices. The article draws on a statistical mapping of the social structure of upper secondary schools and programmes and its intersection with higher education in the city region of Stockholm and on interviews, conducted among students in educational programs preparing for higher education at four prestigious public upper secondary schools in Stockholm the academic year 2013-2014.The increasingly complex landscape give advantage to especially resourceful social groups. Not only the cultural fractions of the upper middle classes, who benefits from their close relationship to the educational system and knowledge in how to choose proper and successful educational trajectories, profits from the marketization of education. The emerging internationalization of education rifts an already complex educational landscape further apart. The accumulation of international educational capital is much more dependent on economic capital than on cultural acquisitions, due to the expensive costs of the kind of experiences it suppose.

Cooperazione, fiducia e differenze digenere: un’indagine cross-metodologica
- 2012
-
In: Rassegna italiana di sociologia. - : Societa Editrice Il Mulino. - 0486-0349. ; 53:4, s. 573-600
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper investigates gender differences in cooperation and trust through a cross-methodological study that combined lab experiment and trust survey. First, we performed a repeated investment game played by 108 students, where a trust-based market interaction was modeled based on asymmetries of information. Results indicated that females were more trustworthy, being more sensitive to cooperation when being trusted by others, whereas males tended to take higher risk investment when trust was relatively more rewarding. A trust survey on a population of 488 students completed the experimental results by looking at general aspects of trust perception of subjects. Also empirical results confirmed significant gender differences in trust, being females more influenced by generalized trust and interpersonal obligations.

Psychotherapy as government of the self
- 2022
-
In: Rassegna Italiana di Sociologia. - : Sociologia Editrice il Mulino. - 0486-0349. ; 63:4, s. 933-956
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The present article analyzes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – a mindfulness- and acceptance-based form of psychotherapy – through the analytical lens of governmentality. I present and discuss two types of technologies used in ACT to intervene in behavior, thought and emotion: The functional analysis of contextually situated behavior, and mindfulness-based interventions that defuses ideas of a conceptualized self and strengthens a sense of an observing self. These techniques are described as technologies of the self. i.e., as ways of making sense of and directing the behavior, thoughts, and emotions of the client. These technologies are discussed as examples of how power is exercised in modern society.

Controlling madness : An introduction
- 2022
-
In: Rassegna Italiana di Sociologia. - : il Mulino. - 0486-0349 .- 2612-1433. ; 63:4, s. 771-796
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This contribution deals with social control in the context of madness. It is divided into three sections. The first one, The sociology of madness, illustrates the origins of this field and shows how it has contributed to the development of Sociology as such. The second, Coercion as a form of social control, begins by illustrating the intertwined concepts of social control, medical social control, and medical social control of madness. It procedes to present a set of tools of negotiation for controlling madness organised into three categories: non-coercive, non-physically-coercive, and coercive tools of negotiation. This include, for example, negotiation, inducement, use of force, mechanical restraints and chemical restraints. The last section, A historical outlook on otherness policies, deals with the control of madness from a historical perspective, starting with a general overview of the government of madness in Western countries and closing with a focus on the Italian context

Pratiche BDSM e forme contemporanee di intimità
- 2017
-
In: Rassegna Italiana di Sociologia. - 0486-0349. ; :3, s. 545-578
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article I conceptualise BDSM (Bondage, Domination and Submission, Discipline, Sadism and Masochism) practices within the frame of contemporary intimacies. This article draws from an empirical research in Milan, involving qualitative interviews and participant observations. Initially, I present a definition of BDSM drawn from contemporary sociological and anthropological literature. Then, I focus on the literature on intimacy, the public/private divide, the marketization of intimacy, and kinship and queer studies of the last decades, to frame BDSM practices among contemporary forms of intimacy. These include practices and identities beyond the heterosexual monogamous couple, such as non-heterosexual or reconstituted families, polyamorous or bareback practitioners, singles, and others; and move outside of the primacy of the sexual realm, by shifting the attention from the supremacy of the sexual sphere and the sexual intercourse. Intimacy is here primarily intended as access to the Other; to its inner and most secret parts. In order to widen our perspectives on intimacy, I provide examples from my empirical research of how practitioners intend and conceptualise BDSM as intimacy both as a risky and unsafe activity when dealing with violation of consent, and in a positive and constructive way as a qualitatively different and rich relationship with their play partners.
