Introduction -- On doing "being an ordinary association" -- Chapter 1 -- Associations as social antennae -- Chapter 2 -- The "civic action" approach -- Chapter 3 -- Third-sector organisations in Milan -- emerging needs and current transformations -- Chapter 4 -- The dissociative outcome of associative efforts -- Chapter 5 -- A festival to address the social needs of the neighbourhood -- Chapter 6 -- As water is to fish -- An inquiry into the origins of scene styles -- Conclusions -- Depoliticisation inside out -- the task of "metaphorisation".

This book explores the challenges facing third-sector groups in Italy after changes such as the professionalization and commercialization of non-profit groups and their increased role as suppliers of public services in local welfare systems, as well as partners in recent governance arrangements. These changes have sparked debates about the general role of third-sector groups and the potential decline of their role as civil society actors. The book focuses on three major changes and associated debates, exploring their everyday implications to ask the question 'What are the consequences of shifts in action approaches, civic participation, and relations with public authorities?' Backed by four years of ethnographic empirical data, it reveals that the meaning of these changes varies even within a single organization, depending on the observed scenes of its everyday life. By introducing five "scene styles" - interaction patterns shaping exchanges between professionals, volunteers, and activists -, the book analyses third-sector organizations and reveals unexpected political functions that take shape underneath that which is openly declared. Sebastiano Citroni is Associate Professor in the Department of Law, Economics and Cultures at University of Insubria, Italy. His primary Research Interests include Ethnography, Environmental and Urban Studies, Social Theory, Politics and Civil Society.
