I giovani sono populisti? Collusioni e collisioni tra questione populista e cultura politica dei giovani
No full textIl populismo oggi appare, ancor prima che un’ideologia precisa, un repertorio di stili di azione e di comunicazione a cui è difficile per qualunque soggetto politico non fare ricorso. Anche perché, nelle diverse democrazie occidentali, diventa sempre più significativa la linea di frattura che oppone la classe politica tradizionale alla protesta anti-establishment. Una frattura che si intreccia con i temi della globalizzazione neoliberale, per cui se da una parte ci sono i «globalisti», ovvero i sostenitori delle élite (politiche, economiche, culturali, mediatiche) che ne governano i processi, dall’altra monta la rabbia dei «perdenti della globalizzazione», ovvero di quegli strati sociali che hanno maturato un distacco sempre più ampio rispetto alle élite, al loro linguaggio e alle loro politiche, incapaci di porre rimedio all’impoverimento dei ceti medi e all’aumento delle diseguaglianze. Si tratta di cambiamenti che incidono profondamente nel modificare «l’offerta» politica in senso, appunto, populista. In questa chiave è interessante chiedersi quale incontro si possa verificare tra offerta e domanda, in particolare rispetto a un segmento specifico della domanda, ovvero i giovani, che rappresentano l’avanguardia del cambiamento sociale. Obiettivo di questo contributo è quindi quello di rintracciare possibili contiguità e differenziazioni tra questione populista e cultura politica dei giovani
Radicalization and deradicalization in Italian migration political debate in the time of COVID-19 pandemic
No full textIn the history of societies, pandemics have been associated with increasing violence against foreigners and xenophobic discrimination. This study
investigates right-wing radicalization process on the migration public debate in Italy, testing the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed
it forward. Radicalization is investigated in the dialectical relationship with the de-radicalization process. Critical discourse analysis is applied to the
discourses of the main political parties representatives before and during the COVID-19 pandemic emergency. The results show the attempt, by the
main right wing political actor, to exploit the pandemic in order to fuel anti-migrant radicalization of ideas, even if this effort didn’t meet the expected
results. The study also highlights the weakness of center left-wing parties in counteracting this process of radicalization and the key role played, in
this respect, by the highest Catholic authority. This study contributes to the theoretical debate on radicalization processes, highlighting the dialectical
perspective between the dynamics of radicalization and de-radicalizatio

No full textInvestigating Vaccine Controversies during the Covid-19 Pandemic
No full textCovid-19 represented a total social fact, especially for that part of the world (the so-called Global North and in particular its wealthier component) which is less used to face dramatic crises able to affect fundamental rights and provoke health threats on a daily basis. While acknowledging its enormous impact on individual biographies, political systems and socio-economic equilibria around the planet, however we contrast those interpretations that have tended to naturalize the pandemic event, reading it as unpredictable, unique, disconnected from the dynamics that guide the (mainstream) Western lifestyle and mode of production. On the contrary, the genesis and above all the management of Covid-19 are the result and the mirror of broader dynamics linked to modernity, colonialism, capitalism, in one word of the Capitalocene. For this reason, it is even more correct to speak of a syndemic, to underline the environmental determinants of health, and the social and economic inequalities (re)produced by Covid-19. We therefore consider that interpreting the pandemic/syndemic (and its governance) as a state of exception is at least partial, being instead more useful to identify its unveiling function, able to make some latent or less visible dynamics manifest. Based on such premises, we focus on some nodes of the syndemic governance, highlighting how this contributed to give continuity and accelerate typical dynamics of a neoliberal governance and worldvision. We deal in particular with four key issues: the treatment of “science” by the media; the political history of “public health” and its relationship to the modern state; the construction of legitimate dissent vs. the constructed irrationality of “conspiracy theory”; the outcomes of social protests and in particular their pathologization in the mediatic and public debate. These are also among the main topics which are critically discussed in the thirteen papers that compose this Special Issue, from a variety of disciplinary fields, and with diverse epistemological perspectives and methodological tools

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
