Gender, genres and generations. A sociological analysis

language: italian

abstract: The purpose of the present monographic issue is to adopt a consumption perspective in order to more thoroughly understand the evolution of social dynamics, however, conscious that today, more than ever, use practices might constitute a privileged observatory to interpret social change. According to the scholars who contributed to this issue of Ocula, among the keywords at the core of this reflection appear: gender, genres, and generations, three thematic focal points which might acquire a greater semantic density if interpreted in the light of subjects’ use practices.
