La libertà di espressione in rete fra content moderation dei social network e regolazione dell’Unione Europea
2022
Starting from the premise that digital society and advances in technology determine the need for adaptation, even if only in an interpretative sense, of the legal categories of constitutionalism, the study analyzes the new dimension of the freedom of expression of thought in the "digital environment". Through the examination of the different jurisprudential approaches expressed to protect this freedom in Europe and in the United States, the work also examines the role of social platforms, their power of self-regulation and that of content moderation, which will highlight the need for regulation of the phenomenon that balances the needs of protection of rights and those of technological adva…
La libertà di espressione nell’era dei social network fra content moderation e necessità di una regolazione flessibile
2023
Starting from the premise that digital society and advances in technology determine the need for adaptation, even if only in an interpretative sense, of the legal categories of constitutionalism, the study analyzes the new dimension of the freedom of expression of thought in the “digital environment”. Through the examination of the different jurisprudential approaches expressed to protect this freedom in Europe and in the United States, the work also examines the role of social platforms, their power of self-regulation and that of content moderation, which will highlight the need for regulation of the phenomenon that balances the needs of protection of rights and those of technological adva…
Significati vecchi e nuovi di ideologia: una rassegna
2020
Old ideologies, defined as «grand narratives», seem to have faded away, but this is not a conclusive argument to state that ideology has, itself, disappeared. In fact, there are strong reasons to believe that it has not. In the first part, this article offers a synthetic survey of some of the most significant conceptions of ideology in order to avoid the confusion generated by uncritical uses of the term. The vantage point of the analysis is the fundamental conceptual opposition between «ideology» and «praxis» («truth», or «reality»). The second part of the article opens up some questions about how the new forms of ideology may thrive in the new spaces created by the communication technolog…
FACEBOOK AT THE TIME OF "DIGITAL NATIVES": TEACHING SPANISH THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS
2015
Language acquisition is a process which is influenced by cognitive, attitudinal, demographic, linguistic and experiential factors. At the time of globalization, structural change occurred with the advent of the technological revolution, the subsequent introduction of innovative tools in teaching, have transformed the concept of learning. At the web's century youngers, "digital natives", are creating a kind of "parallel school" not only to access to knowledge, to collaborate with users and discuss, but also to teach and learn languages through social networks, blogs, fora and communities, as if they were in a virtual classroom. As to the acquisition of Spanish as a L2, analysing the most rec…
Facebook as a Small World: a topological hypothesis
2011
Facebook is becoming a pervasive entity as its social, cultural and media ramifications grow deep and entrenched in our daily life. Its nature of a complex system of interactions, bearing a strong similarity to networks built through individual choices and systems shaped by evolu- tionary pressure, makes it an interesting target for research. Scale-free Small World networks, recently popularized by Barabasi, are a topological class pertaining to both these domains, whose members have resilience to disruption and short intermediate connections between nodes. In this paper we show that the topological structure of a specific subset of Facebook, gathered using data from a self-report online qu…
Robotics Construction Kits: From “Objects to Think with” to “Objects to Think and to Emote with”
2018
This paper discusses new ideas about the use of educational robotics in social-emotional learning. In particular, educational robotics could be a tool intended to allow children to acquire some of the basic aspects of human emotions and emotional functioning, and to understand how these relate to the mind and body. More specifically, by using robots such as the LEGO Mindstorm construction kits—which allow users to both construct the body of the robot and to provide it with a behavioural repertory—children have the opportunity to visualize (and manipulate) the relationship between the robot’s body and mind. This allows them to simulate “embodied emotional minds” and to reflect on new neurosc…
Utenti precoci di Pokémon Go - un report pilota sulle modalità di utilizzo
2016
Pokémon Go (PG) è una applicazione ludica gratuita per smartphone basata su tecnologie di realtà aumentata e di geolocazione lanciata sul mercato a fine di luglio del 2016 dalla società americana Niantic (Wilson, 2016). Scopo del gioco è trovare creature immaginarie appartenenti alla famiglia dei Pokémon, e per farlo è necessario spostarsi nel mondo reale. Una volta catturate, dette creature possono essere collezionate, allenate, e fatte combattere tra loro
Comportamenti individuali e connettivi in Facebook: uno studio simulativo
2010
Creazione di collegamenti a scambio di informazione nei social network. Una simulazione agent-based con metodologia soft computing.
2015
La robustezza di una rete sociale dipende da caratteristiche intrinseche della sua topologia, quali ad esempio l’invarianza di scala, la presenza di nodi denominati hub (i nodi più popolari del network, Barabási e Albert 1999), una distribuzione di probabilità esponenziale, come quella illustrata in Figura 1, nel grado dei vertici P(x) =x^(-α) con fattore α compreso tra 2 e 3, (come quella descritta da Albert e Barabási 2002); ma l’origine di queste caratteristiche va ricercata come emergente dal comportamento dei singoli componenti della rete, e non necessariamente nel suo complesso (in tal senso è emblematico il caso del World Wide Web, come descritto in Alb…
Come è piccolo il mondo in rete: una ipotesi small-world sulla topologia di Facebook
2009
In questo lavoro viene presentata una prima ipotesi di modellizzazione della struttura comunicativa e sociale di Facebook a partire dalle risposte fornite da un totale di 1001 utenti Facebook ad un questionario di self-report 1 appositamente predisposto. Oltre a fornire una serie di elementi sui meccanismi cognitivi, comunicativi e sociali nonché sulle motivazioni all’uso di Facebook, i suddetti dati hanno offerto la possibilità di verificare se la struttura topologica di Facebook può essere assimilabile ad una rete small-world.
