‘Immigrants, hell on board’: Stereotypes and prejudice emerging from racial hoaxes through a psycho-linguistic analysis
No full textSocial media platforms provide direct access to an unprecedented amount of content and can amplify rumours and questionable information. Moreover, when polarisation is high, misinformation can easily spread. Some studies have indicated that fake news and false information can spread faster and furtherthan fact-based news, as it may be based on more stereotypical and less complex content. This research aims to examine racial misinformation. ‘Racial hoaxes are becoming a popular discursive strategy to disguise racism’. The main characteristic of racial hoaxes is that they are born out of the ideology of ethnic prejudice. Therefore, it is essential to shed light on these hoaxes’ socio-psychological characteristics to understand how to recognise, analyse and resist them. Based on these theoretical considerations, this research aims to analyse one hundred Italian news articles containing racial hoaxes collected in 2020 and 2021. For this purpose, a content analysis was conducted to code the psycho-linguistic features of subject description and mode, including stereotypes and components of journalistic attitude such as discrediting forms and affective lexicon. The analysis indicates that racial hoaxes have socio-cognitive features, stereotypes and evaluative forms of prejudice that can potentially lead to greater media reinforcement of false stereotypes because they are strictly associated with familiar and concrete linguistic forms
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Qualificare lo scambio co-creativo tra domanda e offerta di servizi e prodotti: il ruolo del consumer engagement.
No full textIl concetto di engagement nella letteratura di marketing e di psicologia del consumatore è oggi frequentemente richiamato a fronte della necessità di favorire nuove forme partecipative e co-creative di scambio tra “domanda” e “offerta” di prodotti e servizi (materiali e immateriali). Il verbo inglese to engage è polisemico e rimanda alla capacità sia di attrarre l’attenzione di qualcuno, sia di legare emozionalmente una persona in un contratto affettivo che è duraturo e forte, sia di “assumere” qualcuno, di “tirarlo a bordo”, di renderlo parte di qualcosa (Oxford English Dictionary, 2010).
Il concetto di consumer engagement è, infatti, di natura eminentemente relazionale e si propone come chiave di lettura sistemica delle diverse componenti organizzative, relazionali e psicologiche che sono in gioco nella dinamica relativa all’erogazione-fruizione di un servizio e/o prodotto (Hollebeek, 2011; Brodie & Hollebeek, 2011; Gambetti & Graffigna, 2009).
Nel presente contributo, a partire dalla prospettiva teorica della value-co-creation di Vargo & Lusch (2004) si procederà alla rilettura critica di alcune esperienze di ricerca maturate nell’ambito della psicologia dei consumi e della salute al fine di sintetizzare le determinanti individuali, relazionali e organizzative che – dal punto di vista del consumatore/fruitore dei prodotti-servizi – possono favorire o ostacolare il processo di engagement e co-costruzione di valore. In particolare si ragionerà a partire da tre casi di ricerca: 1) il primo relativo al processo di engagement di un consumatore verso il brand; 2) il secondo relativo all’engagement del paziente cronico nella gestione della sua cura; 3) il terzo relativo all’engagement dei cittadini maturi nella promozione di stili di vita attiv
