Metamorfosis, ciencia y horror : en torno a La Mosca, de David Cronenberg (1986)
1993
A diferencia del resurgir animista que orienta buena parte de las películas de terror modernas, La mosca (David Cronenberg, 1986) presenta una convergencia entre los temas que ocupan a la biología y la genética y las fantasías de despedazamiento del cuerpo humano. Utilizando como soporte la idea de metamorfosis, La mosca se revela como fa cara despiadada de esa otra fantasía de cuerpos ligeros y bien formaados de la que nos habla la publicidad. La tesis de este artículo consiste en sostener que entre ambas fantasías (del cuerpo ideal y de despedazamiento y descomposición) existe un secreto vínculo que orienta nuestra llamada sensibilidad postmoderna.
Estrellas del apocalipsis : en torno a algunos mitos del cine de terror = Stars of the Apocalypse : Observations on a few Movie Myths
1994
El star systema de Hollywood siempre tuvo una faz oscura en el género de terror: escasamente versátiles, predestinados por sus comienzos de carrera, por su rostro inquietante, por su cuerpo imperfecto o por un escaso conocimiento de la lengua inglesa, los actores (sobre todo) y actrices del terror estaban condenados de antemano al aislamiento y a la especialización., Se practicaba aquí una identificación más intensa entre actor y personaje que en otros géneros del período clásico. en l presente texto se analizan algunos de estos mecanismos del star system en el cine de terror contemporáneo.
Stars of the Apocalypse. Observations on a Few Horror Movie Myths
1994
The Hollywood star system always had a counterface in the horror films. The actors and actresses deemd to embody the characters depicted in the movies were not especially versatile and, generally speaking, they were limited to these roles and genre. In these cases a more profound identification between stars and characters was at stake. These mechanisms are analyzed in this text focusing in modern horror movies and stars.

Making Communication Strategy Choices in a Fast Evolving Crisis Situation—Results from a Table-Top Discussion on an Anthrax Scenario
2016
This paper aims at clarifying a timely topic of how communication strategy choices are made in evolving, complex crises, such as those caused by terrorism involving chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agents. This is done by examining data gathered from a table-top discussion among crisis communication experts, focusing on a scenario of an anthrax attack and analysed qualitatively. The communication experts followed the evolving crisis situation by gathering inputs from various actors in the crisis management network, thereby creating situational understanding, and interpreted these inputs for decision-making on communication strategies. The underlying process of coping wi…
Conspiracy theories in Republican Italy: the Pellegrino Report to the Parliamentary Commission on Terrorism
2015
This article analyses the draft of the final report prepared by Senator Giovanni Pellegrino, who from 1994 to 2001 chaired the ‘Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on terrorism in Italy and on the causes of the failure to identify those responsible for the massacres’. The document was completed in 1995 and attempted a general interpretation of the causes of the political violence that had been a major feature of the history of the Italian Republic up to that point. The report was closely connected with what is often described as the moment of the transition between Italy's ‘first’ and ‘second’ Republic and, in keeping with revisionist theories current at the time, attributed responsibility …

Criminal networks analysis in missing data scenarios through graph distances.
2021
Data collected in criminal investigations may suffer from: (i) incompleteness, due to the covert nature of criminal organisations; (ii) incorrectness, caused by either unintentional data collection errors and intentional deception by criminals; (iii) inconsistency, when the same information is collected into law enforcement databases multiple times, or in different formats. In this paper we analyse nine real criminal networks of different nature (i.e., Mafia networks, criminal street gangs and terrorist organizations) in order to quantify the impact of incomplete data and to determine which network type is most affected by it. The networks are firstly pruned following two specific methods: …
