Disinformation and Hate Speech: A European Constitutional Perspective
2020
What balance should be struck between freedom of expression, as an essential right and value of any democratic society, and other constitutional rights when facing falsehood and extreme speech? How are Europe and legislators around the world reacting to the rise of online disinformation and hate speech, in the wake of mounting evidence of adverse effects on democratic processes? What is the most effective approach to address and tackle harmful practices over the Internet, if any? These are some of the pivotal questions that this book seeks to explore.
Parole e potere. Libertà d'espressione, hate speech e fake news
2017
indagine in tema di libertà di espressone che parte dalle origini del costituzionalismo contemporaneo e si muove poi lungo le coordinate relative alla giurisprudenza della Corte suprema statunitense e delle Corti europee, nel processo di transizione dell’esercizio di diritti e libertà fondamentali dal mondo degli atomi a quello dei bit. investigation on the subject of freedom of expression that starts from the origins of contemporary constitutionalism and then moves along the coordinates relating to the jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court and the European Courts, in the transition process of the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms from the world of atoms to that of bits.
Mercato delle idee e fake news. Note su un problema di esternalità negative nell’ambiente digitale
2023
The spread of fake news in the digital arena has put into question the traditional idea of the self-regulation of public debate: the well-known metaphor of “free market of ideas”. Because of the availability of digital media, the reduction of the overall cost in producing and disseminating false news has dramatically fallen. Everybody at any time can enter the public debate, even though with bad arguments. At the same time, the competition between traditional and digital media has produced an astonishing reduction of the average incomes of the professional journalists. This paper aims to bring to the fore the metaphor of the market of ideas, metaphor that has been used in the US for reducin…
The marketplace of ideas and its externalities: Who pays the cost of online fake news?
2023
Since the nineteenth century, thanks to J.S. Mill, an argument against limiting the freedom of expression has been gaining ground, namely that the truth of an argument is the result of free competition between different ideas in a “marketplace of ideas” and that this competition can yield an approximate form of the truth or a robust argument. In this paper I will argue that Mill’s model of the marketplace of ideas is an “idealised” model because it assumes that there is a subject who seeks to know in a detached manner, without being influenced by his or her expectations, needs, ideologies, or biases. However, the metaphor of the marketplace of ideas is still relevant because it also harbour…

Parole cattive: la libertà di espressione tra linguaggio, diritto e filosofia
2022
Questo libro parla del lato oscuro – offensivo, violento, ingannevole – delle parole. Lo fa mettendo in dialogo studiosi di competenza diversa, tutti mossi dalla profonda consapevolezza dei dirompenti effetti delle parole sulla vita delle persone. Si tratta, dunque, di un dialogo sul potere delle parole; o meglio, di un insieme di quattro dialoghi tematici su differenti questioni che sorgono quando si ragioni su quel potere. Il paradosso del cospirazionista come parresiasta, che afferma cose contrarie all’evidenza, pretendendo di svelare così verità nascoste. Il rapporto fra verità e libertà di parola: qual è il modo più ragionevole di tenere insieme libertà di parola, verità scientifica e …
Sulla rilevanza giuridica e costituzionale dell’identità religiosa
2015
The essay reviews the issue of the legal relevance of religious identity, and of its possible scope, from the standpoint of the values that underpin contemporary constitutional States (equality, liberty, dignity, secularism). The essay will try to show that, in the light of the aforementioned values, religious identity has in fact legal and constitutional relevance. This does not imply, however, that legal claims based on religious identity should receive absolute legal protection - rather, they are bound to be consistently balanced against other constitutionally relevant rights and interests.
Suggestioni favolistiche, espressioni sentenziose e tonalità moraleggianti nel «Pamphilus»
2022
Le commedie elegiache latine del XII e XIII secolo sono spesso caratterizzate da echi e suggestioni di origine favolistica, nonché da forti componenti di stampo moralistico, esemplare, proverbiale. In tal dire-zione, una delle più significative è senz’altro il «Pamphilus», composto all’inizio del XII secolo e ampiamente debitore, quanto alla trama, alle tematiche e ai personaggi, nei confronti del «De nuntio sagaci». In questo saggio, attraverso un’approfondita lettura della commedia, si insiste sulle suggestioni favolistiche, sulle espressioni proverbiali e sulle tonalità moraleggianti che largamente la innervano, fino a costituirne un elemento assolutamente indispensabile, già, d’altra pa…
Gerunds become prepositional infinitives in Romance Small Clauses: the effects of later Merge to the syntactic spine
2019
This article offers a comparative analysis of ‘predicative’ gerunds (‘PGs’) and prepositional infinitives (‘PIs’), focussing on perception constructions in Spanish (PGs) and European Portuguese (PIs). I demonstrate that these two constructions are diachronically related and that they still have a similar syntax. The evidence discussed suggests that both constructions are Small Clauses headed by a preposition of central coincidence. In PGs, this preposition is merged in a low aspectual projection and incorporates into the verb. In PIs, an evolution of PGs, it is merged later in the structure. This leads to a layering process, i.e. the splitting of a single head into a series of heads and tra…
Der Ausdruck als die Lebendigkeit der Moral. Diltheys System der Ethik
2016
This paper analyses Dilthey’s unpublished lecture from 1890. In the anthropological and ethical reflections, a pre-predicative form of expression is pointed out as a dynamic fundament of inner life. In the second part of the lecture, expression as this inner dynamic of life is further connected with Dilthey’s “forming ethics”, i.e. with an approach that takes the inner interplay of high- and low-level processes of consciousness as the essential basis of an integrated and solidary social life. In the context of such a social ethics, expression plays a fundamental role thus gaining a broader meaning for a philosophy of life also concerned with ethical issues.
