“…The consideration of five ethnic minority groups-from Romania, the Philippines, Bangladesh, China, and DECs-with heterogeneous characteristics in terms of socioeconomic status and migration history was helpful in bringing out the interplay between diversity of place of origin, social class, settlement patterns, and forms of residential segregation. In fact, the large cities of southern Europe are a mosaic of social zones which are socially, ethnically, culturally, and economically differentiated, and the spatial distribution of the ethnic groups reflects the interaction between labour and housing markets, which act as filters for the selection of activities and social groups [55].…”

This paper aims to study ethnic micro-segregation in Rome, namely, high residential concentrations of ethnic groups at the micro-area level within neighbourhoods with low concentrations of these groups, with a focus on specific situations of spatial inequality often overlooked in the debate. The Italian capital is one of the five most populous cities in the European Union and a multi-ethnic metropolis with relatively low levels of segregation. It is an urban context that has been little studied, partly due to the lack of reliable and granular data. This work is based on unpublished individual data from the 2020 population register, disaggregated into 155 neighbourhoods and 13,656 census tracts with average populations of about 18,000 and 200 residents, respectively. The five minority groups considered, Bangladeshis, Chinese, Filipinos, Romanians, and migrants from developed economy countries (DECs), add up to 55% of the total foreign residents and show different settlement patterns. The concept of micro-segregated area (MSA) is central to the scope of the analysis. An MSA is a census tract that shows a strong over-representation of a specific ethnic group despite being located within a neighbourhood where that group is under-represented. MSAs can be considered ‘interstitial’ micro-areas embedded in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods. Descriptive analysis based on location quotient (LQ) mapping and bivariate logistic models is developed to highlight (a) differences in the settlement patterns of minority ethnic groups; (b) differences in the micro-segregation of minority ethnic groups in terms of socio-demographic characteristics, settlement location, and socioeconomic status; and (c) the particular characteristics of minority ethnic groups underlying these differences. The findings indicate that differences in settlement patterns can be related to the interplay between real estate constraints and labour market specialisation. National specificities in micro-segregation are mainly linked to length of stay, but the models of the Asian groups do not offer any empirical support for the spatial assimilation hypothesis, unlike those of Romanians and DECs citizens. Further development of this research will aim to explore segregation patterns and motivations to move to MSAs using a mixed method approach.

“…54 En cuanto a las investigaciones que han incorporado preocupaciones identificadas por Simmel se encuentra el trabajo de Petsimers quien retoma la categoría "moda" para analizar la transformación de las ciudades y, | Los clásicos de la teoría sociológica en los debates contemporáneos: Weber, Durkheim y Simmel específicamente, el proceso de gentrificación en los países del sur de Europa. 55 En este sentido, entiende por gentrificación aquel proceso de imitación que, en los términos de Simmel, implica tanto la diferenciación como la asimilación.…”

<p>El objetivo del trabajo es dar cuenta de la pertinencia de los clásicos (Weber, Durkheim, Simmel) a la luz de problemas y procesos que atañen a las sociedades contemporáneas. Para ello, se revisaron artículos académicos en diversas bases de datos. El trabajo muestra que Durkheim, Weber y Simmel siguen teniendo vigencia pues permiten dar cuenta de aspectos nodales para las ciencias sociales. La limitación principal consiste en que no se trata de una revisión exhaustiva, pues ello derivaría en un artículo por cada autor, dada la complejidad de su obra. La originalidad del trabajo reside en mostrar investigaciones que recuperan, discuten y contextualizan a los clásicos para mejorar la comprensión de problemas contemporáneos. En ese sentido, los hallazgos muestran que la relevancia de Durkheim estriba en revisitar problemas como el suicidio y la violencia. Mientras que las categorías weberianas de racionalidad, carisma, burocracia, patrimonialismo y Estado siguen siendo objeto de debate. Además, Simmel ha legado categorías como interacción social, moda y distancia social que no han perdido relevancia académica. De ahí que, se concluye que en el caso mexicano, el aumento de la violencia a raíz de la <em>Guerra contra el narcotráfico</em> es un problema sobre el que los clásicos de la sociología son de gran valía.</p>
