Spirali della riflessività. Modi di pensare, questioni di metodo e pratiche di ricerca

Discussing the work of Alberto Melucci, the paper deals some questions about the "reflexive sociology" and the "reflexive knowledge". Following a multidisciplinary approach in the reconstruction of the historical meanings of the concept of reflexivity, it is discussed the problem of power and of the language in the so-called "new paradigm" in the human sciences. Some epistemological implications of the constructionist approach in the cultural and political fields, and in the practices of research are shown in details.
