The designing of contemporary cultural spaces needs to take into consideration the incessant expansive movement that affects reality due to the multiform and pervasive universe of the web, and the digitalization of social space. The implications of this transformation are numerous and not fully explored because change is underway. In this chapter we explore how social actors inhabit the excesses and the speed this change brings with it, and the actor’s responses in ways of experiencing the trans-media world

Men sometimes withdraw support for gender equality movements when their higher gender status is threatened. Here, we expand the focus of this phenomenon by examining it cross-culturally, to test if both individual- and country-level variables predict men's collective action intentions to support gender equality. We tested a model in which men's zero-sum beliefs about gender predict reduced collective action intentions via an increase in hostile sexism.

Children’s happiness at school has been mainly investigated from a quantitative perspective, largely overlooking what children understand by happiness and whether their conceptualizations are shaped by culture. Hence, in the present study, using a quantification of qualitative data, we investigated whether English (n = 421, M = 10.63 years, 223 girls) and Spanish (n = 223, M = 11.13 years, 112 girls) children reported different conceptualizations of happiness at school.

This collection of contributions was created to prove both the complexity of the contemporary fashion system as well as the richness and openness of an interdisciplinary approach to the field, that is the same that inspires the Master programme in Fashion Studies at Sapienza, University of Rome.

The binomial Technology-Cultural Heritage seems by now an established fact. There are many
tools, procedures and applications that we can define technological and that intervene, in always
different and articulated ways, in the knowledge, management, analysis, conservation, protection
and enhancement of Cultural Heritage in all areas of the world.

In this paper talks about three stimuli deriving from the thought of Margaret Archer, one of the most acute sociologists of our times. The stimuli focus on theory, empirical research and the mission of sociology. One of the specificities of Archer's thought is the non-deterministic culture-society-person link. At the level of investigation, the stimulus concerns the topics of pluralism and multiculturalism and the hegemony of economy and calculation in our society. Finally, a new impetus for a sociological engagement is outlined.

This study used data from 12 cultural groups in 9 countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and United States; N = 1,315) to investigate bidirectional associations between parental warmth and control, and child externalizing and internalizing behaviors. In addition, the extent to which these associations held across mothers and fathers and across cultures with differing normative levels of parent warmth and control were examined. Mothers, fathers, and children completed measures when children were ages 8 to 13.

A travers la lecture de la biographie et de l’oeuvre entière de Todorov, dans sa reconstruction au coeur de l’histoire de la pensée, notamment française, d’une doctrine humaniste (illuministe, libérale et démocratique), l’article fixe la ligne intellectuelle et existentielle constamment suivie par l’écrivain franco-bulgare dans sa vie.

By giving the prevailing literature about biocapitalism for granted, the following pages are therefore dedicated to these aspects that are generally “neglected” by reflection. The focus is on links and sense, or if we want, to culture the relationships that biocapitalism produces and feeds on. This generally happens through the tools of ideology and communication, but also through a true ideology of communication.

Nello studio della cultura costituente in tema di pianificazione economica, l’attenzione al periodo considerato (1943-1948), caratterizzato dalle contingen- ze di un’economia di guerra e dal recupero della libertà politica, pone il preliminare interrogativo di cogliere, dall’incrocio dei dibattiti, il significato del termine pianificazione di volta in volta impiegato: se si stesse parlando di interventi a sostegno della ricostruzione, di piani pluriennali, o di un principio di sistemazione delle storiche presenze statali nell’economia.
