The "silent revolution" of the
family, as it was called in the 1970s, has gone on.
In what direction? How can we examine the issues of today’s family in Italy in its
wholeness?
This First Report is intended to address these family issues. Its exploration into the
Italian family is comprehensive and provides a complete vision of the status of the
Italian family for Italian and International readers.
If in the 1970s the family was considered "done for", the 1980s brought about a
re-evaluation of the family, which remains vague and ambiguous. The conclusion of this
Report shows that contemporary society is generating form of the family that can be called
self-poietic (auto-poietica). Today’s family is creating its own rules while escaping
the norms society demands. Such a definition of the family is profoundly
ambivalent,
because it is strong and weak at the same time. In such a family there is a particular
psychological and cultural refinement, but also solitude and isolation.
Society is unsure how to react to such changes. The Report addresses these uncertainties
by discussing various alternatives to the ambivalent form of the family, showing that
contemporany society can generate a family form more able to promote the quality of human
life.
