How did feminism shape the rise of gender studies in Europe? Using a generational lens, this book offers fresh insights and perspectives on the development and consolidation of gender studies in Europe. With contributions from pioneering women scholars who built and sustained the European Sociological Association’s Research Network 33, it provides an unprecedented account of how feminism and women’s studies were the catalyst for a gender turn in academic thought. Highlighting the interdisciplinary innovations feminism brought to the field, this is a vital exploration of the lasting impact of generations of scholars on European and global gender studies.

Millennials, Generation Z and the Future of Tourism

This book examines the lifestyles, expectations and plans of Millennials and Generation Z and how they are redefining tourism. It demonstrates that if the tourism industry is to enjoy future growth, it must understand and meet the particular needs of these two generations. The volume explores the present and future challenges faced by the tourism industry as a result of the generational turnover, and seeks to answer the following questions: What contribution can the new generations make to the future of tourism? How are technological advancements and social networks shaping future travel trends? Can a generational perspective be useful to help the tourism industry recover from the COVID-19 crisis? The book will be of interest to researchers and students of sociology and tourism studies, as well as tourism professionals.

One of the major changes in the social science research landscape in recent years has been the introduction of computerised panel surveys in Europe and the US which make longitudinal data widely available to graduate students for the first time. Elisabetta Ruspini here provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the issues involved in this kind of research. This book: * Defines the concept of longitudinal research * Gives guidance on sources of longitudinal data in Europe and the US and their strengths and weaknesses * Discusses the choices that need to be made in this kind of research - for instance the advantages and disadvantages of certain types of research data and of different types of analysis * Highlights some of the problems involved, e.g. the issue of comparability within longitudinal research

An Introduction to Longitudinal Research

A New Youth? provides a cross-cultural perspective on the challenges and problems posed by young people's transition to adulthood. The authors address questions such as: What are the experiences of being young in different European countries? What can we learn about the differences of being young in non-European countries? Are young people developing new attitudes towards society? What are the risks associated with the transition of youth to adulthood? Can we identify new attitudes about citizenship? On a more general level, are there experiences and new social meanings associated with youth? The volume is comparative between various European and non-European countries in order to identify the emerging models of transition. These characteristics are connected with broader social, political and cultural changes: changes related to extended education, increasing women's participation in the labour market, changing welfare regimes, as well as changes in political regimes and in the representation and construction of individual identities and biographies, towards an increasing individualization. The work offers critical reflections in the realm of sociology of youth by providing broader understandings of the term 'youth'. The detailed analysis of new forms of marginality and social exclusion among young people offers valuable insight for policy development and political debate.

identità di genere nella postmodernità

Transessualità e scienze sociali

Giorgio Grossi

Ognuno di noi - maschio, femmina, gay, lesbica, bisessuale, transgender, transessuale - si confronta quotidianamente con le immagini e le rappresentazioni mediatiche della propria identità di genere. La "seconda modernità" passa anche e soprattutto da qui, dal conflitto tra diversi "sguardi di genere" nel mondo dei media. Ofelia e Parsifal - la prima rassegna sistematica, in Italia, di studi sul rapporto tra genere e media - offre una fenomenologia articolata di questo importante terreno di analisi del mutamento sociale.
