Assessing the quality of argumentation in digital public spheres: a case study from Twitter @debatingeurope, by Fiammetta Corradi
Introduction In our national political arena, almost daily we witness logical contradictions, fallacious arguments and other dramatic violations of the norms of a democratic public sphere, not to speak of the increasing public use of swearwords and other outright deviations from the canons of a civic dialogue. The emergence of a worried, legitimate indignation for the low qualitative level of public ...
The Italian Political Crisis: Causes and Perspectives
Introduction The present paper wishes to focus on a few aspects that, in our opinion, have played a crucial role in causing and gradually worsening the present severe crisis of the Italian political system. Needless to say, a political system cannot be considered as a separate entity from the wider context in which it is set. Having said this, we will therefore briefly hint to this context whenever ...
Legality, change and crisis, di A. Costabile and M. Tagarelli
Foreword Legality as a pattern of behaviour and social practice, and most of all as a value, is strictly connected to modern society and its transformation. Linking legality to change widens the analytical perspective beyond both its deductive definition as a philosophical or juridical a priori and its reductive and merely negative definition as the opposite of illegality. Most notably, that ...
Policy making at the time of Big Data: datascape, datasphere, data culture (Policy making in the era of Big Data: datascape, datasphere, data culture), di B. Aragona e R. De Rosa
Introduction A massive amount of data is now available to policy makers although the effective exploitation of its potential in the public arena still needs to be assessed. The area of public policy is a difficult terrain, where it is easy to create high expectations, and just as easy to cause rapid disillusionment (Munch 2017). Little research has focused in fact on how new digital data can facilitate ...
The fates of social science journals in languages other than English: key issues for research communities and editorial policies, by M. Fernández-Esquinas
Introduction Scientific journals have been undergoing an important transformation fort the last two decades. Some of the main changes affecting them have been driven by digitisation, the globalisation of the publishing market, the emergence of metrics and the use of journals in research evaluation and science policy (Mackenzie 2007; Larivière et al. 2015; Moed 2006; Malsch and Tessier 2015). ...
Grounded Theory, Sensitizing Concepts, and Computer-Assisted Theory Building, di Roberto Cipriani
Introduction The presence of many – sometimes contradictory – theories is arguably considered a strength in the social sciences. The multitude of available theories today makes it seem impossible to have a grand theory, a specific unique theory that may be applied to all situations at all times in order to explain social phenomena. Therefore another solution becomes more and more reliable: ...
Online textual data and political communication analysis. Methodological issues and research perspectives (Online textual data and political communication analysis. Methodological issues and research perspectives), di F. Marrazzo e G. Punziano
1. Is it the time for hybrid and mixed approaches? During the Twentieth century, the analysis of the texts produced by political communication has been one of the busiest areas of research for many social sciences scholars (Laswell and Leites 1949). However, the use of online social text data becomes more and more essential for understanding and analyzing new forms of participation in the communication ...
Beyond the obvious. Suggestions to empower critical discourse analysis (Beyond the obvious. Ways to empower critical discourse analysis), di Fiammetta Corradi
The essay discusses some of the theoretical and methodological criticism against Critical Discourse Analysis, focusing especially on the charge of belaboring the obvious, of providing empirical findings that were already implicit in the research premises and/or that were attainable by the average lay reader of the texts without the application of peculiar analytical techniques. Instead of following ...
A case of inequality in the labour market: the situation of EU and non-EU migrants
Recent studies have shown that the economic crisis of 2008 has heavily affected migrants, thus exacerbating a disadvantage already present in many countries and further weakening the position of migrants in the labour market. This paper focuses on two distinct groups of migrants: EU citizens and those from third, «non-EU» countries. In our opinion, the legal status of «European» should provide ...
Trajectoires vers l’illégalité politique : l’Italie des années 1960-1980 (Trajectories towards political illegality: Italy in the 1950s-1960s), di Caroline Guibet Lafaye
--- « Je viens d’une famille de prolétaires, donc militer, c’est dans mon ADN. Quand tu nais, soit tu nais fasciste, soit tu nais militant, il n’y a rien à faire. » (Paolino) Introduction Des mouvements contestataires de 1968-1969 à l’enlèvement puis à l’exécution d’Aldo Moro le 9 mai 1978 jusqu’à l’attaque de la base américaine d’Aviano le 2 septembre 1993 par ...
