“…First, we see as one exogenous and ‘trans-disciplinary’ factor the over-specialization of social sciences (Abbott, 2001), and especially of sociology (Gallino, 2007), which is today a field of knowledge subdivided into a long list of formally specialized fields and subfields, all with their own formalized epistemological status and narrow research subjects (della Porta and Keating, 2008). Recalling the Marxist idea of capitalism as totality (Krinsky, 2013; Ollman, 2003), i.e., that capitalist society cannot be understood by artificially separating its different moments into the social, the economic, the political and the cultural, because all these elements are defined by their internal relations to the whole (namely, capitalism), we claim that a fictitious division of sociology leads to the incapacity to grasp the dynamics of change taking place in contemporary society.…”

The beginnings of sociology in Italy correspond more or less to those of the birth of sociology as an autonomous science in France by Durkheim (considered the founding father of the discipline except for the term that, as is well known, was coined by Comte). Its origins, therefore, can be traced back to the second half of the 19th century and its development substantially follows the socio-political development of Italy, which can be substantially divided into three historical phases (the Savoy monarchy between 1861 and 1922; the authoritarian fascist regime with totalitarian characteristics between 1922 and 1943, and the period of the democratic republic from 1946 onwards can be considered as the “rebirth” not only of Italy but also of sociology). This article aims to outline these phases through an in-depth examination of some of the Italian sociologists who, in the different phases (up to our contemporary times), have had greater relevance and influence, even outside the Italian context.

Many approaches to the study of the social sciences rely on the interpretation of reality itself, giving rise to the quantitative/qualitative dispute. These methods cannot exist one without the other – nor can they necessarily find themselves on opposite poles. To follow one does not mean to forsake the other; on the contrary, both offer the opportunity to observe from different angles aspects of the phenomenon investigated, granting more effective readings of its complexity. While sociology has reproduced its various stances in its scholarly analyses, the most recent debate has relinquished this debate to focus on two alternative features. Both pertain to sociology and the role of social science researchers: the conjugation between theory and empirics and the crisis of sociology in providing answers to societal changes. This contribution aims to address the issues related to the conjugation between theory and empirical research considering digital research methods. The author outlines their strengths and weaknesses without forgetting the original status of sociology as a science.
