Recensione di F. Mazzara, 2019, Reframing Migration. Lampedusa, Border Spectacle and the Aesthetics of Subversion
2019
Reframing Migration by Federica Mazzara, chooses the island of Lampedusa as a perspective window from which to observe the phenomenon of migration as the today West is experiencing it and above all is representing it. The choice of this "place of condensation" shows how both the space that is crossed and the bodies that cross it are objects of a manipulated media representation, but it also allows probing the possibilities of different representations through which the objects of the gaze can become subjects, indeed agents of aesthetic performance and subversive policies, even delegitimizing.
Media, representation of organized crime and trust building.
2014
The presentation looks at the ways in which the delicate question of the relationship between mafia and politics is discussed. Newspapers, as actors can generate effects of the construction of reality, also contribute to the creation of the collective representation of the Mafia.

Counter-Narratives Against Prejudice. How Second-Generation Youth Reverse Media Representations
2022
This paper deals with the OLTRE project (ISF - DG Migration and Home Affairs, EU), funded to counter the radicalization of second-generation migrants in Italy and created by a network made up of universities and private companies. This article shows the results of a study regarding the involvement of second-generation youth in the co-production of the social campaign for online communication, representing the outcome of the OLTRE project. The guidelines for the campaign came from our in-depth sociological field research (42 qualitative interviews of 2G youths, 18-30 years, in 7 Italian towns (Palermo, Cagliari, Rome, Bologna, Milan, Padua, Turin) and from theatre laboratories created by sec…
Regimi dietetici, regimi di senso. Diete dimagranti a confronto
2015
La dietetica non ha, come si può pensare, una dimensione strettamente individuale, soggettiva, legata al corpo del singolo e all’esercizio di regole alimentari. Essa è infatti al tempo stesso una pratica individuale e collettiva, corporea e sociale, che sconfina facilmente addirittura nella politica.
Origins and originality : Authenticity in the media representation of Julie Fowlis
2018
This article examines the ways in which Scottish Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis is constructed ‘authentic’ in the media. Two narratives that I call ‘narrative of origins’ and ‘narrative of professionalism’ construct her authenticity as a representative of the folk music scene. Fowlis represents the new Gaelic speaker, but is presented in terms of stereotypical imagery connected to Scotland, which portrays tradition as stagnant, quaint and in need of preservation. However, she is also presented as a professional artist, remaking and reinterpreting the tradition of a living culture that she represents. Thus, here authenticity ascribed on the artist is viewed as a cultural memory device, built on …

"Make him worship you" : the representation of feminine sexuality and female discourses in Seventeen and Cosmopolitan
2017
Medialla on keskeinen rooli mielikuvien ja ajatusten välittäjänä. Naistenlehdet ovat vakiintuneet keskeiseksi osaksi nykypäivän mediakenttää, ja niiden edullisuus sekä laaja levinneisyys ovat herättäneet myös tutkijoiden mielenkiinnon. Monet heistä ovat pyrkineet selvittämään millaisia representaatiota naistenlehdet tarjoavat lukijoilleen. Erityisesti seksuaalisuuden kuvaaminen lehdissä on noussut tärkeäksi osaksi tutkimuskenttää, sillä aiheeseen liittyvän sisällön määrä on viime vuosikymmeninä lisääntynyt monissa naisille suunnatuissa julkaisuissa. Lehtien representaatioilla on merkittävä rooli naisten seksuaalisuutta koskevien käsitysten välittäjänä sekä näiden käsitysten muokkaajana. Täm…
Sad, lonely and looking for love? : representations of singleness on Cosmopolitan.com
2016
Yhdysvaltalaisessa yhteiskunnassa arvostetaan suuresti avioliittoa ja parisuhdetta, jonka ajatellaan olevan elämän tärkein ihmissuhde. Vaikka yksineläjien määrä on viimeisten vuosikymmenien aikana ollut kasvussa, asenteet yksineläjiä ja yksineläjyyttä kohtaan ovat silti usein negatiivisia ja kyseenalaistamattomia. Niihin liittyvät negatiiviset stereotypiat heijastuvat mediarepresentaatioissa. Se, miten media puhuu yksineläjyydestä ja parisuhteista vaikuttaa ihmisten ajatusmaailmoihin sekä olemassa oleviin diskursiivisiin resursseihin, joiden avulla yksineläjät voivat käsitellä elämäänsä ja rakentaa identiteettiään. Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee yksineläjyyden representaatioita nuorille naisill…
Representations of individuals in discourses of laïcité from Le Monde : confirming or challenging the republican framework of identity?
2017
In recent decades, the notions of laïcité and identity have been subjects of controversy in France. The two concepts have become sufficiently co-associated since the 1990s to ensure each almost systematically entails the other. Findings from previous studies have pointed out harmful implications of this pervasive association for minorities in France, especially Muslims. This study examines further the ways laïcité and identity are interwoven by exploring who is represented (and how) in newspaper articles from Le Monde dealing with laïcité. Informed by critical intercultural communication scholarship, intersectionality, and a Foucaultian approach to discourse, this study pays particular atte…
