2016
Il paper studierà il caso di Bagheria in provincia di Palermo, Comune amministrato da Patrizio Cinque sindaco del Movimento 5 Stelle da giugno 2014.

Appetizer or main dish? Explaining the use of Facebook news posts as a substitute for other news sources
2019
An increasing number of, especially younger, users use Facebook as their primary source for news about political and societal issues. At the same time, research suggests that Facebook use contributes to societal knowledge gaps. Against this background, we investigate the antecedents of using Facebook as a substitute for other news sources. We argue that exposure to news posts on Facebook increases the feeling of being well-informed, regardless of actual knowledge acquisition. This might lead users, especially those with a low need for cognition (NfC), to use Facebook as a substitute for other news sources. We test these assumptions with an online survey (n=390) of German Internet users. Res…

La costruzione simbolica del conflitto generazionale nei discorsi politici di Renzi e Grillo
2018
L’età dei parlamentari italiani e dei principali leader politici è stata al centro delle ultime campagne elettorali nazionali ed europee. In entrambi gli schieramenti, dalla “rottamazione” di Matteo Renzi agli “zombie in poltrona” di Beppe Grillo, gli slogan incitavano a uno svecchiamento della classe politica italiana. Ma chi è il giovane e chi l’anziano al quale si riferiscono i due leader? Quali sono i ruoli che essi prospettano per giovani e anziani? Quali sono le soglie costruite nei discorsi pubblici e nei post sui siti web ufficiali e sui profili nei social network dei due leader? Quale dialettica si è sviluppata? Quali analogie e differenze rispetto alle rappresentazioni proposte da…
“Dear Young People, don’t vote”. Seniors in political advertisements: irony and/or legitimation
2019
The widespread representation of older people in popular culture as passive and inert has been challenged in a range of recent studies and publications (Nussbaum / Coupland 2004, Caprara et al. 2013). In view of the increasing number of older adults in today’s society, the notion of aging has received significant attention in the public sphere where common assumptions and stereotypes are challenged and potential scenarios are presented. As it has been discussed from different academic perspectives over the past twenty years, older people’s collective condition is undergoing important sociological and cultural changes, making the elderly - among other things - an enticing political reservoir…
Seniors’ social image: the representation of ageing in electoral campaigns
2019
This study builds on previous research on ageing representation in relation to common assumptions and stereotypes (Schneider & Ingram 1993; Holladay & Coombs 2004, Kaid & Garner 2004), in order to provide an overview of the ways in which older adults have been addressed and exploited in US political (i.e. electoral) campaigns. Considering campaign ads as multimodal texts, Kress & van Leeuwen’s social semiotic approach (2001) is used to examine how multimodal elements convey seniors’ images. In addition, this analysis draws on legitimation theory (van Leeuwen 2008) to analyse which legitimation tactic is employed to convey meanings through the voice of elderly people. In this…
