L'essai analyse l'amour comme socialité dans l'histoire des sciences sociales, mettant en évidence sa dimension publique. Alors que la première partie est consacrée aux classiques de la sociologie, la deuxième partie se concentre sur les pensées des érudits contemporains et se termine par une proposition critique basée sur la surabounding et la priorité du bénéfice des autres. L'article montre comment l'amour est un ruisseau d'eau karstique qui depuis des décennies a traversé la réflexion sociologique, parfois coulant sous terre, mais souvent à la surface comme élément fondamental dans la vie sociale publique.

The subject of participation has been gathering increasing interest from the various social disciplines: from politology to psychology, from urban sociology to evaluation, this concept carries a particular fascination and discussing participatory research has now become an absolute must. However, an adequate reflection on methodologies for analyzing research practices and evaluating hypotheses and effects when setting up actual research relationships has not followed on the tail of this new tendency. This paper arises from that need and aims, through discussion of the main debates that have interested science and sociology, to reevaluate a critical approach towards the analysis of the social relationships that are created during a research investigation.
This study starts out as a reflection aimed at analyzing the impact that participation, in all its various forms, can have on the way research is carried out. The originality of this article lies in the proposal of a form of participation, and from this, the expression of a hope for the future of social sciences: that we can aspire towards a dialogical model and towards a new cooperative and emancipatory relationship with the public.

The article begins with a brief overview of how the relationship between researcher and object of study has been approached in social sciences. The goal is to reflect further on the process of this study and to raise two essential questions: what kind of relationship develops between the researcher and the social actor? And what kind of participation is required from the social actor? To answer these questions the article proposes identifying four different models of participation, the effects of which are analyzed by rediscovering all the practices that include a particular involvement of the social actor in the research process.

In the field of health services, the topic of interprofessional care is receiving growing attention. It requires the collaboration of different specialized health professionals to treat therapeutic paths for complex diseases in a comprehensive and personalized way. However, an interprofessional approach implies the reorganization of health services, usually based on traditional approaches to treatment, and the reconciliation of professional differences, often characterized by mono-disciplinary practices and conflicting visions. Starting from this premise, the methodological case presents the procedure and the results of research on interprofessional knowledge and attitudes of students, health professionals, doctors, and practitioners in the Italian health care context. The collection and the analysis of information was conducted within an iterative mixed-methods approach, which included explorative in-depth interviews with privileged witnesses, a survey, and a Delphi technique on different panels of health care experts.

O artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a importância dos bens comuns e sua natureza relacional, especialmente hoje após a pandemia. Depois de aprofundar o desafio da terceira revolução industrial, o artigo questiona como gerar e manter bens comuns a partir de algumas das teorias contemporâneas mais estimulantes: incluindo a teoria da dádiva e o conceito de amor como ágape. Ambos têm o mérito de sustentar uma lógica de compartilhamento, contrapondo-se ao utilitarismo e desempenhando um papel crítico no que diz respeito à lógica do consumo e da contabilidade.

Abstract
Why sometimes people use their own resources to help unknown others? What drives an entrepreneur to adopt expensive socially responsible behaviours? What prompts a public employee to spend time with a customer outside the working hours?
In every-day life there many social phenomena based on un-conditionality, disinterestedness, over abound. Such phenomena remain outside the field of explanation of approaches such as rational choice theory or neo-utilitarianism, being described as paradoxes of social action. But also solidarity or gift theories do not provide sufficient explanation for phenomena in which group identity or social ties are not the main motivations of action.
Drawing from critical theories, we propose to (re)introduce the sociological concept of agape-love as a theoretical frame for those social mechanisms that elude reification, quantifiability, instrumental thinking. Agape-love, as formerly introduced by Luc Boltanski (1990), is focused on the present, avoiding any consequence calculation, refuses comparison and equivalence, does not involve reciprocity. According to Boltanski, agape must remain unaware for social agents, as any intentionality would lead action away from pure disinterestedness. We propose to reconceptualise agape, integrating it with theoretical insights by different social scientists (such as Honneth and Sorokin), with new reflexive and institutional accounts, and provide it with empirical foundation (Iorio, 2014).
We present the case of "suspended goods" and read it with the look of agape. It is a relatively recent practice widespread in various fields (examples are suspended groceries, suspended books, suspended holidays) that consists in purchasing goods or services, which will be actually consumed by others who cannot afford them.
This is a case of informal or popular welfare for needy people. Starting from this case study the authors will reflect on poverty, wondering if it is possible an action of aid toward poor which is not based on labelling and submission (Simmel 1908/1965).
We argue that agape is a powerful concept, capable of linking micro and macro levels, useful both to enlighten agents' motivations in apparent nonrational (choice) situations, but also to describe the aggregate effects of collective behaviours that produce alternative economic regimes or welfare systems.

This study analysed the levels of cognitive distortions and verified whether adverse experiences (e.g., emotional abuse) may influence psychopathological traits, empathy deficits and levels of moral disengagement and cognitive distortions. Participants were 96 sex offenders: 64 participants are Italians and 32 participants are Portuguese studied cross-sectionally. A semistructured interview was administered to collect data about family and social histories, with self-report questionnaires to evaluate psychopathology, empathy, moral disengagement strategies and cognitive distortions. The results showed that about 14% of sexual offenders reported a moderate / severe level of deviance of distorted beliefs relating to children; 28% of the total sample (but 53% of Italians) reported a moderate/severe level of deviance related to cognitive distortions "sexual right". The results also showed how sex offenders who have suffered emotional abuse during their life report higher levels of emotional empathy, depression, anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism compared to those who have not suffered it. Theoretical and practical implications are provided.
