Looking back upon the first quarter of the twenty-first century, two themes have risen to the top of the social theory agenda and are likely to continue to become more pronounced: the proliferating sense and reality of insecurity, and the accelerating eclipse of enlightenment.Thus far, this century has been characterized by changes in the structure and functioning of global capitalism, which has transmuted from neoliberalism into varieties of neoauthoritarianism. This new and exciting volume of Current Perspectives in Social Theory explores whether these shifts represent fundamental and transformational changes or merely adaptive, superficial ones—particularly in relation to social structure and social processes. Insecurity and the Eclipse of Enlightenment considers how these developments are likely to point toward profoundly different and increasingly disorienting futures, while also revealing the persistent, contradictory principles that have been shaping modern societies for at least two centuries.

This edited collection explores the transformative impact of theatre on personal and societal well-being in contemporary digitalized societies. In this compelling work, the editors and chapter authors examine how theatrical arts—whether through performance, participation, or observation—can enhance individual quality of life, foster emotional resilience, and promote social cohesion. Drawing from various interdisciplinary sources, this volume delves into the therapeutic potential of theatre, its role in community building, and its contribution to emotional and mental health. It invites readers to view the power of theatre not only as entertainment but as a catalyst for positive change in individuals and communities alike. Designed for scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts of theatre, psychology, and sociology, this volume is particularly relevant for those in therapeutic fields, educators, and artists keen to understand deeper connections between the performing arts and human flourishing.

Die fünfte Ausgabe von Politika, des Südtiroler Jahrbuchs für Politik, beschäftigt sich in ihren beiden Schwerpunkten mit dem im öffentlichen Diskurs immer wieder thematisierten "Unbehagen" der italienischen Bevölkerung in Südtirol sowie mit den in den letzten Jahren sich häufenden politischen Skandalen. "Disagio" nennt sich der Gefühlzustand der Italiener, mit dem die reale oder medial konstruierte politische und soziale Ungleichheit zwischen den Sprachgruppen benannt wird. Im Jahrbuch wird erstmals versucht, diesen Diskurs zu hinterfragen und empirisch zu verifizieren, wobei auf Defizite des politischen Systems hingewiesen wird. Ebenso mangelt es an wissenschaftlichen Analysen, wenn es um politische Skandale geht. Diese werden in den Tagesmedien verhandelt, aber keiner weiteren politikwissenschaftlichen Analyse unterzogen.Fixer Bestandteil ist wiederum der Rückblick auf die nach Datum geordneten Ereignisse des Vorjahres sowie ein einleitendes Essay, in dem eine kritische Einordnung der Politik in Südtirol und über Südtirol erfolgt.

This second volume of Theaters and Public Sphere in a Global and Digital Society offers several different case studies in their relationship with society. Also here, the focus is the fundamental contribution that artistic and cultural forms bring to social dynamics and how these can consolidate cohabitation and create meaningfullness, in addition to fulfilling economic and regulatory needs. As symbolic forms of collective social practices, artistic and cultural forms weave the meaning of a territory, a context, and a people, but also of the generations who traverse these same cultures.These forms of meaning interact with the social imagery, mediate marginalization, transform barriers into bridges, and are the indispensable tools for any social coexistence and its continuous rethinking in everyday life.Contributors are: Claudio Bernardi, Marco Bernardi, Massimo Bertoldi, Martina Guerinoni, Mara Nerbano, Chiara Pasanisi, Benedetta Pratelli, Roberto Prestigiacomo, Ilaria Riccioni, Daniela Salinas Frigerio, Eleonora Sparano, Emanuele Stochino, Matteo Tamborrino, Tiziana Tesauro, Katia Trifirò, Alessandro Tolomelli, and Andrea Zardi.

As symbolic forms of collective social practices, artistic and cultural forms weave together the meaning of territories, contexts, and peoples, and also of the generations who traverse them. These forms of meaning interact with the social imaginary, mediate marginalization, transform barriers into bridges, and are indispensable tools for any social coexistence and its continuous rethinking in everyday life.
