L'influenza culturale e politica delle teorie sulla concentrazione di povertà e sugli effetti di quartiere negli Stati Uniti è ampiamente riconosciuta dalla letteratura sociologica americana e non solo, ma risulta ancora poco discussa in un contesto scientifico come quello italiano, benché essa si manifesti più o meno consciamente anche in alcuni approcci e programmi politici del nostro paese. Con l’obiettivo di contribuire a innescare un dibattito anche nel nostro ambito disciplinare, questo contributo si focalizza sul più grande esperimento di mobilità geografica e sociale fondato sulle teorie della concentrazione e degli effetti di quartiere, il Moving to Opportunity, nel tentativo di avvia una riflessione critica sulle implicazioni del concetto di concentrazione di povertà e di neighborhood effect quando questi vengono tradotti in politiche e programmi di vasta portata.

Abstract
The cultural and political influence of the theories on poverty concentration and neigh-bourhood effects in the United States is widely recognised in the American sociological liter-ature but is still little discussed in a scientific context such as the Italian one, although it is also manifested more or less consciously in some political approaches and programmes in our country. With the aim of contributing to triggering a debate in our disciplinary sphere as well, this contribution focuses on the largest experiment in geographical and social mobility based on theories of concentration and neighbourhood effects, the Moving to Opportunity, in an attempt to initiate a critical reflection on the implications of the concept of poverty concen-tration and the neighbourhood effect when these are translated into far-reaching policies and programmes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
