As usually, the call for papers of the section included different possibilities. There first was an open call, following the main theme of the conference, as far as it met the work of the secion. Second, we asked for methodological papers. Third, we offered some panels about the topic “Family as an institution under the influence of Mediatization”, in which we as heads have been interested and what is a topic that was demanded already in some business sessions. And fourth, we as in the last years, called for contributions to a theoretical topic, in this case about the work of Antonio Gramsci.
