This volume introduces sociological knowledge to social reality in
various fields that are especially significant for Southern
European societies, such as education, migration, social cohesion
and political participation. It provides the reader with an
understanding of the new and radical challenges that Europe has
been called to face, and complements academic research with new
conceptualisations of sociology which solve social public problems
in specific territorial contexts. The book focuses on the body as
the vector of social cohesion policies in the awareness that
cohesion revolves around the ability of all people - not just
migrants - to manage conflict and change. With these aims, the
empowered body is suggested as a means able to build up the
timescales of memory as time-windows open to the ethic boundaries
of human life. In today's world, the question of empowerment
crosses borders, not only geographic but also cognitive, linguistic
and cultural ones. Refuting the longstanding notion that culture
alone is responsible for group behaviour, this book confronts the
"moving up" and "getting on" characterizing current immigration
policies, specifically in Europe and the Mediterranean area and, in
general, around the world. Methodologically, all contributions here
pay attention to the powerful connection between the individual
lives and the historical and socio-economic contexts in which these
lives unfold. The brilliant analyses here suggest, at least, the
"borderlands" as the agent making the movement of policy.
