La società dell'orrore. Terrorismo e comunicazione nell'era del giornalismo emotivo
2018
Il testo analizza l'attuale configurazione della relazione tra media informativi e terrorismo, focalizzando l'attenzione sulla crescente centralità della componente simbolica nelle strategie comunicative dell' ISIS e sull'uso propagandistico di vecchi e nuovi media. In particolare, viene messa in evidenza e problematizzata la questione del ruolo dello spettatore mediale dinanzi allo spettacolo della sofferenza di altri lontani cui assiste quotidianamente, tema che è al centri un un ampio dibattito scientifico internazionale..
Coscienza e potere. Narrazioni attraverso il mito
2009
Il libro, che prende spunto dal seminario Il mito come evento ciclico nella cronaca del quotidiano. Coscienza e potere (Palermo -17 ottobre 2008), mette a confronto le diverse letture del mito, individuandone le differenti forme di attualizzazione. I personaggi di Antigone e Ecuba rappresentano, in tal senso, figure emblematiche. Attraverso una prospettiva letteraria, socio-giuridica e comunicativa, viene analizzato il nesso che lega sapere e potere, il conflitto tra dimensione individuale e assetto giuridico, il rapporto tra soggettività e coscienza collettiva.
Pratiche sessuali a "rischio" in un campione di lavoratori sessuali italiani. Dai copioni sessuali tradizionali all'attore sessuale neoliberale?
2022
In this article, we deal with the so-called ‘risky sexual behaviours’ and the spread of HIV/AIDS among the community of MSM (men who have sex with other men). For a long time, both the sociological analysis and the medical and epidemiological approach studied the behaviour of the gay population as “inherently” more problematic in terms of spreading the human immunodeficiency virus. For these studies, even more dangerous are those men who sell sex and sexual services. Starting from a sample of twenty-one male sex workers in Italy and of the use or misuse of condoms during encounters with their male clients, this contribution will try to understand how ‘risky sexual practices’ (like barebacki…
Turning Migration Disadvantage into Educational Advantage. Autobiographies of Successful Students with an Immigrant Background
2018
The article focuses on unexpected pathways of successful students with an immigrant background, in order to investigate the implication of this phenomenon from a theoretical, methodological and empirical point of view. After a review of the main sociological studies on “immigrant optimism” towards educational success, I will reflect on biographical approach, particularly suitable to study this topic. A on-going research project based on the collection of educational autobiographies of successful immigrant-origin students, attending upper secondary schools in Northern Italy, is presented. Then, the story of Destiny, a 16 years-old girl with Moroccan origin, is used as a case study to explore…

Journalism and fake news in the Covid-19 era. Perspectives for media education in Italy
2020
In this article, drawing from the data collected by the AGCOM during the pandemic crisis, we argue that the emergence of COVID 19 has made more evident the new relationships between the informative cybercascades, the significant need of news during a crisis, the presence of disinformation online, and the relevant consequences on collective narrations, often producing a generalized panic. We also argue that infotainment can be considered a critical turning point in the relationship between true and false in the news because of its fusion of facts, drama, and emotional narrative frames so that it is no longer possible to separate reality from media reconstruction of it. We finally argue that …
Mapping Leisure across Borders
2013
Leisure has become an important domain in sociological research. While time is often spent in daily “pressing” activities, leisure time, in its multifaceted aspects, is rather oriented to convey new answers for individual and collective needs. Such answers are an important field for leisure studies as well as for the sociological questions connected with leisure. For instance, in developed countries, some of these answers concern the ways in which leisure may be spent in “the best way possible for me”, or “for my family”, or “for me with my friends”, hence focusing on it as a new basic human need/desire oriented to foster self-fulfillment. However, this idea of leisure as self-fulfillment m…
Born to Be Different: LGBTQ2 Children of Heterosexual Families
2022
This chapter aims to challenge heterosexual norms in society by analyzing heterosexual families when confronted with the coming out of one of their children. Starting with the essentialist construction of identities and gender norms supported by the symbolic structure of the natural and traditional (straight) family, we reconstruct paths and dynamics of the response that heterosexual parents give to their LGBTQ2 children. Specifically, this contribution outlines the characteristics of the disclosure processes of homosexual children and the related reactions to such shocking and disorienting events of their families. Finally, we offer parents some good practices to react well and be welcomin…
