Argument
The XXXII cycle of "Social and Political Change" doctoral course, University of Turin and University of Florence, presents the first Interdisciplinary Conference on Social and Political Change on the theme of Political solitude. Between participation, marginalization, and indifference.The conference aims to be a reflection upon the theme of political solitude, from the perspectives of sociology, political science and political theory.
In the time of disintermediation and the declared end of mass movements, it seems to appear in the political, social and media field the “specter” of solitude. Not limited to Europe, as the Marxian specter, solitude seems to currently adopt a pervasive and –paradoxically- collective dimension; becoming a sort of fil rouge among unattended participation instances, ever so high ivory towers, and isolated mobilization strategies.
The participation in the Conference is open and free of charge. It is with this open spirit that we seek to encourage contributions from anyone who wants to take part in the initiative with his or her own paper. That is, regardless of their position at any university’s structure. The proposals will all be equally evaluated by the same scientific committee, which will be established for this purpose and instituted with the collaboration of the departments involved. We will particularly welcome contributions from the areas of sociology, political philosophy, political science and international relations. The list is, clearly, not exhaustive and proposals from other disciplines will also be taken into consideration.
Below we propose some possible declarations of the subject:
- Solitude in power? Political participation from the party to participation in the net;
- The solitude of the leader and distancing from the institutions: “plaza” and “palace” ever so connected, ever so distant. The increase of distrust and loss of representativity;
- Policies of solitude: the citizen as a client of social intervention;
- Anatomy of the political body: the experience of solitude, between individual atomization and the indistinction of the masses;
- Solitudo in societate: representation and diagnosis of contemporary public space;
- Youth and politics: solitude as a generational experience? Between impotence and movement possibilities;
- “Employed by: myself”- from TV-working to “mini-jobs” in bicycles. Their effects in the market and lives;
- Solitude as an exit strategy: escaping the world as a checkmate to politics?;
- An isolated act: individual strategies of violence and protest (from the burning monk to the lonely wolf);
- Islands of freedom. Collective experiments and political practices against solitude.
