Descrizione dell’attività svolta nell’annata 2017
Nel 2017 sono stati pubblicati due numeri monografici: uno sul terrorismo e l’altro sulle famiglie omosessuali, più un numero speciale su Baudrillard, a dieci anni dalla sua morte.
Il primo numero monografico è stato particolarmente complesso, in quanto i contributi sono stati sottoposti a doppia valutazione: la prima da parte del curatore del numero e l’altra da parte dalla nostra rivista, secondo il sistema del double blind. Non tutti gli articoli proposti sono stati pubblicati.
Nel numero unico sulle famiglie omosessuali, tutti gli articoli sono di sociologi italiani, a testimonianza dell’esistenza di una letteratura originale sul tema anche a livello nazionale. Anche in questo caso i contributi selezioni dai curatori del numero unico, sono stati sottoposti a referaggio.
Molto apprezzato il numero speciale su Baudrillard, soprattutto all’estero, per il tempismo con cui è uscito e, soprattutto, per la originalità dei tagli di lettura proposti dagli autori.

Segnalazione dei punti di forza dell’annata
Si riconfermano, anche per il 2017, i punti di forza della rivista: ampia circolazione a livello internazionale, possibilità di scaricare i file gratuitamente.
Progetti in cantiere
Non sono previsti per il 2018 iniziative particolari: la redazione è impegna a dare spazio e visibilità ad una serie di articoli di studiosi stranieri, che richiedono una particolare attenzione in quanto hanno tradizioni di ricerca diverse da quelle occidentali. Il nostro impegno è quello di dare spazio a diverse prospettive di analisi, portare alla luce l’esistenza di letterature ‘altre’ su temi sociologici rilevanti (ad es. abuso sui minori, abbandono scolastico, violenza sulle donne ecc.), nel rispetto di alcuni standard condivisi dalla comunità scientifica di tipo metodologico.
Descrizione dell’attività svolta nell’annata 2018
Nel 2018 abbiamo intensificato la pubblicazione di contributi provenienti da Paesi non
europei, che giungono in redazione sempre più numerosi.
La rivista si è posta l’obiettivo di dare spazio a contenuti di ricerca svolti in paesi non
europei per due motivazioni di fondo: 1. dare spazio ad attività di ricerca teorica ed
empirica di studiosi che hanno una loro tradizione di ricerca spesso consolidata, di cui la
letteratura italiana ha poco contezza; 2. realizzare processi di internazionalizzazione che
vadano nella direzione di correggere l’eccessivo eurocentrismo che caratterizza i nostri
studi, sia sul versante metodologico che dei contenuti.
Per il raggiungimento di tale obiettivo, il lavoro di referaggio è diventato più complesso, sia
per trovare referee sensibili a temi e metodologie di ricerca che escono dal cono d’ombra
dell’eurocentrismo, che per difficoltà di affrontare i temi trattati. Tutti gli articoli comunque
sono stati referati da due lettori anonimi per gli estensori del contributo.
Per ovviare a tale problema, per alcuni contributi, il comitato di redazione si è fatto carico
del referaggio, dando una particolare attenzione alla correttezza e pertinenza delle
metodologie di ricerca utilizzate dagli autori.
Per realizzare la nostra idea di internazionalizzazione del sapere e delle conoscenze, nella
rivista sono stati ospitati saggi non solo strettamente sociologici, ma saggi riconducibili alle
scienze sociali in senso ampio.

Segnalazione dei punti di forza dell’annata 2018
Dai contributi stranieri pubblicati sono emerse sollecitazioni teoriche ed empiriche molto
interessanti. Da una parte si evidenza come alcune tematiche che consideriamo specifiche
delle società moderne occidentali (ad es. emigrazione, famiglia, diritti individuali,
integrazione scolastica ecc.), costituiscono aree di studio e di interesse anche in altri paesi
che continuiamo a considerare appartenenti al terzo mondo. E questo è il più forte
indicatore di quanto i processi di globalizzazione (sia nel bene che nel male) siano
effettivamente globali. Dall’altra parte, soprattutto i contributi sulla condizione femminile,
testimoniano dello sforzo che in alcuni paesi a tradizione islamica si sta compiendo di
individuare percorsi di emancipazione delle donne a partire dall’interno. Da una rilettura
critica della tradizione religiosa di riferimento.
Si riconferma come scelta vincente la decisione di fare una rivista on-line open access e in
inglese. I contributi degli stranieri non sono mai stati sollecitati, arrivano in redazione
direttamente, a conferma del fatto che la rivista ‘circola’.
Progetti in cantiere
Continuare con la stessa impostazione e considerare i numeri monografici come numeri
speciali o aggiuntivi, rispetto ai numeri della rivista.
