Donne e società italiana. Una prospettiva culturale nella lettura dei cambiamenti in atto
No full textAbstract. L’obiettivo dell’articolo è esplorare gli elementi che concorrono a
rilanciare la questione femminile come fattore di sviluppo e crescita culturale
del nostro paese. Il rapporto fra donne e società italiana è infatti caratterizzato
da una complessità di processi che registrano il passaggio da una visione
emergenziale a una strutturale del fenomeno. Tale passaggio non è però
compiuto né appaiono stabili le interdipendenze necessarie a generare una
vera cultura plurale. Utilizzando un framework teorico che insiste sulla
relazione tra soggettività femminile e mutamento culturale, vengono
presentati i risultati di interviste a figure operanti in quattro ambiti strategici
(Istituzioni, Associazioni, Informazione, Ricerca) al fine di comprendere i
tratti della trasformazione culturale colti dalla loro lettura della questione
femminile
Cosmopolitanism and international mobility: are they vectors for the future or sources of potential inequality for European youth?
No full textThe papers explores whether, besides the secondary effects produced by Eramsus experience, some unintended effects also arise, with the risk of producing or enhancing potential social inequalities among European youngsters. To explore these dimensions we used opinions obtained via 2 focus groups conducted on young Italian people; those who took part in Erasmus programme and those, friends of the first group, who did not. The results emerged highlight that a shift from side effects to unintended effects can be envisaged: 1) the lack of awareness of the effects that the Erasmus experience has had on their openness to the public sphere; 2) the skills acquired are inhibited by the sense of powerlessness in the face of difficulties to apply them in their home contexts; (3) the openness to cosmopolitanism gained during mobility clashes with the difficulty of non-Erasmus students to understand these changes, putting them both in front of the perception of an «augmented» otherness
Problemi sociali e rappresentazioni culturali. Una prospettiva di sociologia della differenza,
No full textAssumendo una prospettiva di sociologia della differenza, il volume si interroga su cosa sta cambiando nell’incontro fra i vissuti difficili di particolari soggetti e le minacce percepite dal sistema, nonché nella rappresentazione che ne offre la stampa italiana. Ciò in virtù del peso che essa continua a ricoprire nella costruzione del clima di opinione attorno a tematiche complesse, quali i fenomeni riguardanti i minori stranieri
Lo storytelling della paura nella trattazione del terrorismo contemporaneo: il caso Bataclan
No full textThe contribution investigates the
role that fear plays in the Italian
press with regard to the representation of the terroristic attacks in
Paris, particularly in Bataclan,
the 13th of November 2015. The
hypothesis of the work is that in
the representation of events there
is a transition from fear as an interpretative frame to a narrative plot,
up to outlining a storytelling of fear
used for representing contemporary social problems. This narrative
choice is not only aimed at legitimizing repressive and security
policies, but it is also addressed
to maintain a high level of tension
among the audiences in order to
increase their emotional involvement and engagement. The broader use of this narrative strategy
allows to outline a new sub-genre
of information

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
The dimensions of fear in the storytelling of European terrorism:The case of Bataclan
No full textThe essey analyzes the role of the media in the construction of a storytelling of fear during the terroristi attack in Europe. More specifically, analyzing the content of Italian newspaper during the attack to Bataclan, the essey depate the role of fear in the narrative construction of terrorism. Fear, contrary to what Altheide's states is not a way to legitimize institutions, but a way to destroy their legitimac
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
