Pentirsi: dalla negazione alla ri-costruzione identitaria del collaboratore di giustizia
Il tema dell’identità e l’analisi dei processi di costruzione identitaria sono, da sempre, al centro della riflessione sociologica. A tal proposito, si propone una riflessione sul contesto mafioso, in particolare sul passaggio dall’accettazione di norme e valori condivise dal gruppo di riferimento al loro rifiuto, quando il mafioso decide di collaborare con la giustizia. Lo studio si concentra ...
Collettivi digitali e cultura della disinformazione. Analisi di una bolla cospirazionista durante la pandemia di Covid-19
La ricerca presentata ha come oggetto di analizzare la struttura e gli elementi culturali che determinano una bolla di disinformazione all’interno di Facebook. L’iter metodologico poggia sull’ipotesi che i gruppi di utenti, attenti a tematiche cospirazioniste, sono parte di una subcultura unica ed è costruito prendendo in considerazione tre agenti di riferimento: gli articoli cospirazionisti ...
Signs stand for ideas: Walter Lippmann from stereotypes to symbols
This essay focuses on Walter Lippmann’s theory of stereotypes interpreted as communicative devices, iconic meanings and informative facilitators, in line with the creation and diffusion of news that is closely related to the way journalism creates a manufactured representation of everyday life. To the fore are not only the narrative strategies that newspapers were able to exploit one century ago, ...
100 anni di moltitudine. Pensare al giornalismo di domani attraverso le intuizioni di Walter Lippmann
Se scrivesse oggi Lippmann analizzerebbe le nuove frontiere del giornalismo e il ruolo svolto nella moltiplicazione delle sfere pubbliche, che ha fatto parlare di sfera pubblica interrelata (Bentivegna e Boccia Artieri 2020). Un’evoluzione del concetto di sfera pubblica densa (Sorrentino 2008), ancora efficace per descrivere società caratterizzate da un sovraccarico informativo, che diventa anche ...
Mediation as an inevitable destiny. The concept of public opinion between philosophical assumptions and sociological horizons
Is symbolic mediation inevitably linked to the human ability to know the world? Can understanding be only indirect? As the complexity of social systems increases, does the level of mediation differ further? This research work reconstructs the way in which Walter Lippmann tries to answer the previous questions. In Public Opinion (Lippmann 1922), the author presents mediation as an inevitable destiny, ...
Writing Ethnographies: The Role of Narrative
The subject of this paper is the importance of certain narrative elements to ethnographic writing and especially to reporting qualitative research based on observation (both participant and otherwise) and interviews (Czarniawska, 2004). I should point out that the following considerations are essentially methodological and theoretical. A further, more practical, text will follow in the near future. ...
Affecting societies, affecting risks (and opportunity)
Introduction While I am writing this essay, the news on the war in Ukraine once again heralds the difficulties in reaching negotiations. Wars and this one in particular, have always been waged with the assistance of propaganda, but what is happening is not just a war of representations, but the representation of war as a weapon. It is a war that hybridizes conventional and communicative weapons. The ...
Creating the city through the urban rituals: differences, inclusion, belonging
Introduction The issues of risk and uncertainty occupy a priority position on the political agendas of cities, to which the media system, with its various formats, acts as a sounding board. In a complementary manner, the scientific community, or rather the different scientific communities involved, are intensifying their research on these issues. In this respect, one need only refer to the substantial ...

Strangers in strange lands: discourse, risk, liquidity
Introduction The concept of the stranger derives from Simmel’s short text (1908). It was developed by significant sociologists (Margaret M. Wood, Alfred Schutz, Robert Park), and is still evolving (Orfanos 2016) with contemporary contributions (McLemore 1970; Bauman 2004; Skoric 2013). This notion can become vital to the research of the refugees’ issue. Here, we will analyze the refugees’ ...
