1. 16. This is our rule of law! An ethnography of the rule of law among the “No Green Pass” activists in Italy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Rättssociologiska institutionen

   Author : Gian Luca Traverso; [2022]
   Keywords : Sociology of rule of law; Sociology of constitutional law; Italian legal culture; resistance studies; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis focuses on the bottom-up conceptualisation of the notion of rule of law, developed by a group of activists against a COVID vaccine passport enforced in Italy (so-called Green Pass), and their subsequent everyday acts of resistance. By using a multimodal digital ethnography methodology, centred on both in-person and digital informal encounters, this explorative case study conducts a thematic analysis of how the concept of the rule of law, usually the prerogative of legal professionals, legal scholars and politicians, is understood and by a group of “No Green Pass activists” in Italy and subsequently used as a cultural underpinning to develop silent resistant strategies against the Green Pass itself.
