Italian civil society and third-sector organisations were particularly heavily affected by the transformations associated with the pandemic. This was not only due to the worsening social needs they had to tackle; it also applied to their daily practices, the tangible actions in the situated interactions with which they ‘normally’ organise themselves, communicate, and implement services or other types of initiatives. This chapter introduces scene styles—the variable adopted in this book to detail and research everyday association-making. It also outlines the author’s research process to investigate the role played by the scene styles detected with respect to three major changes currently affecting Italian civil society: the growth of ‘new’ forms of participation, regarding both paid professionals and occasional volunteers; the spread of cultural events in the repertoire of action of third-sector organisations traditionally dedicated to providing services; and the increasing contractualisation of relations between organisations and the public authorities. In addition, the chapter anticipates the general argument according to which third-sector groups act as civil society in their everyday association-making.
