Fake News. A design driven approach
2022
The phenomenon of Fake News affects both individual choices and political opinions and orientations. But pervasiveness of digital technologies and dissemination of fake news are two sides of the same coin; therefore, to stem Fake News we need advanced and interdisciplinary technologies and strategies. Starting from the culture of design, where visual communication and visual information support an ethical approach shared with journalistic communication. Finally, the Fake News project highlighted the innovative potential of Artificial Intelligence, which through metrics and algorithms, but also with the unavoidable contribution of people, for the different design skills involved, can support…

«Largo a noi, all’alta battaglia»: l’engagement di Zola nella ricezione italiana
2016
Germinal, uscito sul “Gil Blas” dal 25 novembre 1884 al 24 febbraio 1885, e nel marzo 1885 in volume, tradotto e pubblicato contemporaneamente in Italia sulla “Tribuna”, da sempre tra i libri più noti e amati di Zola, è la storia della vita in un distretto minerario, di un lungo e tragico sciopero, dell’espansione dell’Internazionale socialista: prende il titolo da quello che nel calendario della Rivoluzione francese è il primo mese di primavera, e annuncia un’altra rivoluzione. È un romanzo complesso, per più versi ambivalente: evidenzia l’esigenza della protesta, ma anche i torti dei leader politici e l’inclinazione delle masse alla violenza; alterna descrizioni meticolose a possenti imma…

Letteratura e giornalismo
2009
Letteratura e giornalismo sono campi al tempo stesso analoghi e opposti, uniti da una fitta rete di rapporti. Il libro ne considera i versanti principali: l'attività degli scrittori giornalisti e le sperimentazioni letterarie che ne sono derivate; le vere e proprie contaminazioni, prodotte dalla contiguità di fatto (il feuilleton, l'elzeviro), oppure da innovazioni deliberate (il new journalism, il non fiction novel); l'ampia fortuna del giornalismo come tema letterario nel romanzo otto-novecentesco. Literature and journalism are fields at the same time analogous and opposite, united by a dense network of links. The book deals with their most important si des: the work of authors both journ…

«Jusqu’à nos désirs, jusqu’aux formes de notre plaisir»: feminism’s development in Les Temps modernes
2017
Les Temps Modernes has been a basic ground for the growth both of the second-wave feminism and of the third-wave one, and has skaken old roles also by questioning traditional longings, as some writings we can (re)read here show: several remarks by Simone de Beauvoir, an article by Colette Audry, an issue of the column Le Sexisme ordinaire.
Microinnovations in Human-Technology Interaction
2011
It has been claimed that the Web 2.0, the open source movement, and the emerging mode of peer production have inaugurated a new era of debate about openness, participation, and cooperation as bedrocks for rebuilding the civilizations of the modern world. By way of introducing the concept of wikipolitics, this paper examines whether, and if so how, politics and democracies can benefit from this emerging participatory spirit and modern ICTs, and to document possible dangers of such a shift in the democratic process
Does the platform matter? Social media and COVID-19 conspiracy theory beliefs in 17 countries
2021
While the role of social media in the spread of conspiracy theories has received much attention, a key deficit in previous research is the lack of distinction between different types of platforms. This study places the role of social media affordances in facilitating the spread of conspiracy beliefs at the center of its enquiry. We examine the relationship between platform use and conspiracy theory beliefs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Relying on the concept of technological affordances, we theorize that variation across key features make some platforms more fertile places for conspiracy beliefs than others. Using data from a crossnational dataset based on a two-wave online survey cond…
The impact of communicating digital technologies: How information and communication technology journalists conceptualize their influence on the audie…
2012
Information technology is ever-changing. Information and communication technology (ICT) journalists play a significant part in diffusing, explaining and interpreting these new technologies and in forging the societal understanding of future trends, influencing both their audience and the developers they cover. They are important gatekeepers and their coverage is – most likely – decisive for the success or failure of new products. To explore this function of ICT journalism, an online survey of 102 ICT journalists in Germany was conducted, including 32 journalists in managing roles. This study focuses on two research questions: (a) how do ICT journalists perceive their relationship to and the…
