(Un)civil Democracy
This book offers a systematization of the recourse to political incivility by different subjects and in different contexts. The authors argue that incivility has now become a strategic resource that can be used by various actors in the public arena to achieve specific goals. We are referring not only to traditional political subjects, but also to journalists, citizens, movements and protest groups, that is to a plurality of actors who, from different angles, contribute to the construction of the "political spectacle". This resource can be activated according to circumstances and conveniences, whether their nature be political (to place an issue at the center of public debate or a new actor i...
Contemporary Politics, Communication, and the Impact on Democracy
The loss of credibility of traditional media and democratic institutions points to the important challenges for the democratic system. Social networks have allowed new political and social actors to disseminate their messages, which has raised diversity. However, it has also lowered the standards for the circulation of messages and has increased disinformation and hate speech. Contemporary Politics, Communication, and the Impact on Democracy addresses communication and politics and the impact on democracy. This book offers a valuable contribution regarding the challenges and threats faced by traditional and stable democracies while disinformation, polarization, and populism have a main role in the present hybrid communicative scenario. Covering topics such as digital authoritarianism, emotional and rational frames, and political conflict on social media, this is an essential resource for political scientists, communication specialists, analysts, policymakers, politicians, critical media scholars, graduate students, professors, researchers, and academicians.
Political Communication in Times of Crisis
During the first years of the 21th century we have witnessed many events in our societies, some of them without precedent at all in our recent history, which have involved irreversible changes. The attacks to the Twin Towers in New York City, the resulting sequence of wars in the Middle East, and the international financial collapse are very good examples of these happenings. All these developments of international consequences have led to a new dimension of political communication, and have reoriented some of its traditional meanings, after a very clear dynamic has irrupted in our lives: the crisis. Many new dynamics have introduced significant changes and altered the nature of internationa...
Handbook of Research on Advanced Research Methodologies for a Digital Society
Doing research is an ever-changing challenge for social scientists. This challenge is harder than ever today as current societies are changing quickly and in many, sometimes conflicting, directions. Social phenomena, personal interactions, and formal and informal relationships are becoming more borderless and disconnected from the anchors of the offline “reality.” These dynamics are heavily marking our time and are suggesting evolutionary challenges in the ways we know, interpret, and analyze the world. Internet and computer-mediated communication (CMC) is being incorporated into every aspect of daily life, and social life has been deeply penetrated by the internet. This is due to recent...
Il caso Giorgia Meloni
Nata come oratoria nell’agorà greca, la comunicazione politica si è trasformata in concomitanza con i cambiamenti della stampa ed è stata protagonista della rivoluzione televisiva, arrivando a reinventarsi in occasione dell’avvento dei social media e rivelando la sua abilità nel plasmare il campo della politica, dell’opinione pubblica e della società civile. Attraverso l’analisi del caso studio della comunicazione politica di Giorgia Meloni su Twitter (in un arco temporale compreso tra aprile 2019 e aprile 2020), Sara Emilia Pasculli definisce il concetto di comunicazione politica, con tutte le difficoltà semantiche dovute all’interdisciplinarietà dell’argomento, e ne ripercorre le trasformazioni concettuali e storiche.
Public screens
Il lavoro di ricerca presentato in questo volume viene pubblicato in una delle fasi forse più caotiche e convulse della storia politica italiana, caratterizzata dall’emergere di nuovi movimenti e dall’affermazione di leadership che innovano profondamente il discorso politico nei linguaggi, nei temi e nelle forme di storytelling. Al pubblico televisivo della politica tradizionale sembra poi affiancarsi un pubblico che padroneggia internet e i social network sites, e che si mobilita per imporre un forte rinnovamento nei temi e nelle modalità di funzionamento delle procedure democratiche. La prospettiva in cui si muovono gli studi di questo volume è proprio quella di provare a intercetta...
Cosa resta dell'informazione, Kosovo e oltre
Cosa resta del Kosovo oggi? Qualche anno fa le pagine di giornali e telegiornali ci parlarono di questa “guerra umanitaria”, ci raccontarono gli episodi che parevano cruciali, gli “incidenti”, le bombe, la “resa” del dittatore. Oggi, di come si viva in Kosovo e di cosa ne sia stato del Kosovo poco o nulla sappiamo, almeno dai resoconti dei media, intrisi come sono nei loro criteri di “notiziabilità” che rendono poco attuale la vicenda adducendo spesso la ragione di non voler saturare i propri lettori o spettatori.
Le reti della comunicazione politica
In the contemporary scene, alongside the crisis of political communication and the traditional forms of participation, the transformation of the formats and languages of telepolitics and the increasingly more widespread access of the citizens to interactive platforms that liberate them from the role of mere spectators of the political debate, have come to assume major significance. This book proposes an approach of meditation and mixed methods research, already validated within the framework of the project «Against political communication. Rethinking participation in the age of the old and new media» (PRIN 2007). The aim is to explore the ways in which political communication is currently exploiting the media ecosystem, and the role of this new media equilibrium in the construction of political concepts and political participation on the part of the citizens.
