No full textThe contribution addresses the relations between journalism, activism, and gender. Based on an in-depth interview to Barbara Bonomi Romagnoli, journalist, activist, and researcher, the contribution reflects on women journalists’ professional trajectories and on the persisting role of “glass ceilings” in Italian newsrooms; on the role of activism for gender equality in the media system; on the goals that have been reached in recent years (from inclusive language to more equal representations of gender-sensitive topics)
User generated gaming: pratiche partecipative e cultura convergente nel web 2.0. Il caso Little Big Planet
No full textMedia digitali e dating
No full textIn questo capitolo affronteremo il tema del dating online e dei servizi internet-based attraverso uno sguardo di genere che mira ad analizzare le piattaforme rivolte sia ad un pubblico eterosessuale, sia a persone che appartengono all’universo LGBTQIA
Con il termine dating online ci si riferisce a servizi internet-based utilizzati per entrare in contatto con potenziali partner, con obiettivi che variano da incontri occasionali a relazioni più impegnate, senza escludere contatti di altra natura come la conoscenza o l’amicizia – anche se, queste motivazioni ricoprono un ruolo minoritario
Networked volunteering during the 2013 Sardinian floods
Full text linkThe article describes how ordinary citizens used Twitter as an emergency-management tool during the heavy floods that occurred in Sardinia, Italy, in November 2013. The case study constitutes an example of digital volunteering in the aftermath of a disaster event. The article applies the connective action framework (Bennet & Segerberg, 2012) for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of self-organized disaster communication activities on social media. Utilizing a dataset of 93,091 tweets that used the hashtag #allertameteoSAR (weather alert in Sardinia), the analysis focuses on: 1) the roles and patterns of influence among the main actors; and 2) the strategies for a peer ‘curation’ and sharing of a disaster-recovery oriented communication. The article highlights the role of Twitter celebrities and engaged ordinary users as digital volunteers and explains how they succeeded in activating bottom-up disaster-relief oriented communication
‘I’m not bad, I’m just... drawn that way’: media and algorithmic systems logics in the Italian Google Images construction of (cr) immigrants’ communities.
No full textThe paper aims at creating a bridge between media and migration studies and critical algorithm studies. By adopting a media ecological approach and a mutual shaping of technology and society perspective, in this paper, we explore the factors that lead, especially in Italy, to discriminant and stigmatizing image search results, related to specific groups of immigrants living in the country. We performed a content analysis of Google-Images search results with regard to the largest immigrant communities hosted in France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Results show that the depiction of Romanian, Albanian, Moroccan, and Algerian immigrant communities on Google.it is flattened on a univocal stigmatized representation that shows them as criminals, which is not the case in other countries. Most of these stigmatizing images derive from local online newspapers, which questions the interplay between newsmaking choices and routines, and algorithms logics
“Forever young?”: Digital technology, ageism and the (non-) ideal user
No full textThe relationship between older adults and digital technology represents a
privileged standpoint to highlight some important aspects of ageism. Ageism
is defined as “the complex, often negative construction of old age, which
takes place at the individual and the societal levels” (Ayalon & Tesch-Römer,
2018, p. 32). It deals with stereotypes and prejudices towards older adults,
with a tendency to over-generalise, treating older adults as a homogeneous
category, neglecting any individual (or social, cultural, etc.) differences. Such
an over-generalisation represents a core element of ageism: by neglecting individual
differences, ageist attitudes tend to neglect individuality itsel
