I saggi raccolti nel volume non intendono perseguire una “difesa d’ufficio” della disciplina sociologica da accuse, critiche, perplessità, talvolta, pregiudizi, viceversa, pur nelle differenze d’approccio teorico e metodologico esprimono l’esigenza di analisi e comprensione di cambiamenti sociali repentini, se non proprio vertiginosi, tali da mettere in crisi i processi sociali, culturali, comunicativi, politici, economici, giuridici, territoriali, lavorativi. Quasi si avvertisse l’esigenza di un tempo di confronto dinamico, in relazione ai problemi sociologici contemporanei, al di là della pamphlettistica d’occasione. Riconoscere le ambivalenze significa anzitutto riconoscere la complessità del rapporto fra oggetto e soggetto dello studio sociologico. Buona lettura.

In this seminal book, Krumer-Nevo introduces the Poverty-Aware Paradigm: a radical new framework for social workers and professionals working with and for people in poverty. The author defines the core components of the Poverty-Aware Paradigm, explicates its embeddedness in key theories in poverty, critical social work and psychoanalysis, and links it to diverse facets of social work practice. Providing a revolutionary new way to think about how social work can address poverty, she draws on the extensive application of the paradigm by social workers in Israel and across diverse poverty contexts to provide evidence for the practical advantages of integrating the Poverty-Aware Paradigm into social work practices across the globe.
This text explores the issue of social exclusion, considering its measurement, main determinants, and ways in which it may be reduced. The editors show how a focus on the topic may alter the relevant policy questions by fostering debate in government.
This book, by one of the leading theorists of social work, tackles a subject of crucial importance to students and practitioners alike: how social workers can enable their clients to challenge and transcend the manifold oppressions that disempower them (whether through poverty, disability, mental illness, etc.). It moves from a discussion of social work's purpose and ambitions to an exposition of theory and, from there, to the practice arenas of working with individuals, in groups, within organisations, and within a wider social and political context.
Il libro ricostruisce la storia della scuola “Settembrini” di Lagonegro (1880-1925) dopo un lungo e complesso lavoro di ricerca perché nel tempo sono state smarrite o distrutte le documentazioni istituzionali.
