Practicing Urban Media Studies: An Interview With Will Straw
Get PDFIn this interview, Simone Tosoni and Seija Ridell discuss with Will Straw, professor of urban media studies at McGill University, Canada, his views of this subject area. Professorships that would explicitly focus on the intersection of media studies and urban studies are rare internationally, Straw’s position being one of them. The interview sheds light on how urban media studies came about and were institutionalized at McGill University, how Straw practices urban media studies in his own teaching, and how he sees the future of this “interdiscipline.” The second part of the interview addresses two of Straw’s main research topics and their relation to urban media studies: his studies on scenes and the night
Raccordare mondi possibili: Transmedialità, videogioco e problemi di canone
No full textThe paper further expands the canon analysis paradigm developed in Tarantino and Tosoni 2010, dealing with transmedia storytelling universes centered upon videoludic texts. The tripartite analysis we proposed in 2010 is applied and augmented with an in-depth analysis of critical cases which push our categories to the limit (the Pokèmon, Resident Evil, Zelda, Mario and Mass Effect universes). The proceedings show that our categories of static, partial and dynamic canon, and our centre-periphery spatialization principle, appear to work also on these cases

Italian Goth Subculture. Kindred Creatures and Other Dark Enactments in Milan, 1982-1991.
No full textThis book is the first in-depth investigation of the Goth subculture in Italy, focusing in particular on the city of Milan. It grows out of a three year research project - the first in Italy of this scope on the topic - based on the life histories of two dozen participants. In light of this, Simone Tosoni and Emanuela Zuccalà propose an innovative approach to the study of spectacular subcultures: contrarily to the most common accounts of the spectacular subcultures of the 80s, this book describes the experience of subcultural belonging as plural and internally diversified. In particular, three different variations - or 'enactments' - of goth are described in-depth: the politically engaged one; the one typical of the scene of the alternative music clubs spread all over northern Italy; and the one, common in the little towns surrounding Milan (but not limited to it), where participants used to 'enact' the dark subculture alone or in small groups. Their book argues that while these three different variations of goth shared the same canon of subcultural resources (music, style, patterns of cultural consumptions), they differed under relevant points of view, like forms of socialization, stance toward political activism, identity construction processes, and even their relationship with urban space. Yet, contrarily to the stress on individual differences in 'subcultural' belonging typical of post-subcultural theorists, the Milanese variations of goth appear to have been socially shared, as socially shared were the different 'practices of enactment' of the subculture that characterized each of them
From Scientific to Syncretic Patchwork Storytelling: The Discursive Ecosystem of Italian Stop 5G Refused Knowledge Communities
No full textThe chapter delves into the Italian Stop5G movement, aiming to explore the discursive practices - media related and not - it employs to construct, stabilize and in some occasions radically transform a body of shared knowledge refused by the majority of the scientific community - in particular, regarding the effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiations. For this end it adopts a perspective inspired by the Social Worlds Framework (Clarke & Star 2007) - that conceives social worlds and their discourses as co-constructed - and by an ecological understanding of media (Anderson 2016) - that conceives them as a vast interconnected environment where discourses interact in different ways: sometimes competing, sometimes adapting one to the other, and sometimes again merging in new ones.
Through on one year of online and offline ethnographic observation (between 2019 and 2020), interviewees to citizens and activists, and focus groups with different samples of population, it was possible to identify four phases characterizing the social world of the Stop5G movement, its discursive practices, and its shared knowledge:
1. The phase of public appeals (2017-2018), featuring scientists contesting officially accepted knowledge on electromagnetic fields;
2. The activist phase (2018-2020), with an increasing number of citizens organized in local groups participating in the social world and the arena, and adopting discursive strategy closely mirroring the ones from the previous phase;
3. An intermediate phase at the beginning of the pandemic crisis (February-April 2020), where discursive practices in the social world begun to undergo significant transformations, particularly in addressing the nature of the virus and the associated illness;
4. The pandemic phase (until the end of 2020, when observation came to and end), when discourses in the social world, with some significant exceptions, took a populist or conspiratorial turn.
Forfor the Stop 5G movement these phases marked a turn from a 'scientific' to a 'syncretic' patchwork storytelling approach in the discursive practices of knowledge production and of contestation of official science. In sum, the former relied on the selection of sources strictly deemed as scientific (i.e. peer reviewd papers published in scientific journals) all confirming the harmful nature of 5G waves; the latter assembled materials from a vast array of different sources, including science, new age spiritualism, cultural critic and conspiracism. At the same time, throught these phases the 5G movement radically trandformed its organizational forms, but also the ensable of mediated and not mediated spaces employed for its communicative practices.
The chapter contributes to the understanding of the tight intertwinement between the structuration of a social world and of its arena, its discursive practices – media related and not - and the shared knowledge produced by these same practices
Introduction: Manufacturing knowledge at the border of science
No full textThis book focuses on a timely and currently highly controversial topic with considerable resonance in academic circles, amongst policymakers and in the broader public sphere. The central research question it explores is: How and under which conditions do groups of people assign credibility and trust to knowledge claims located outside the established boundaries of science
