Populismo, ordine politico e potere tra modernità e postmodernità
2020
Vorrei offrire anche io un contributo sul tema del potere nell’at-tuale situazione di “crisi della democrazia”prendendo spunto da quello che è uno degli elementi più caratteristici degli ultimi anni e cioè il fenomeno del “populismo”. Premetto che nella mia analisi mi muoverò nell’ambito di una concezione “repressiva”del potere, cioè quella tipica della tradizione democratico-liberale, e non mi muo-verò seguendo approcci foucaultiani o postmoderni che concepisco-no il potere in termini “produttivi”. La ragione di questa scelta, al di là del mio personale orientamento, risiede nel fatto che se lo slogan dei movimenti populisti di destra o di sinistra è il “voler restituire il potere al popol…
Pseudo-Media Sites, Polarization, and Pandemic Skepticism in Spain
2021
The Coronavirus pandemic has triggered an authentic infodemic, which is a global epidemic of disinformation that has spread throughout most of the world. Social media platforms and pseudo-media outlets have contributed to the problem by producing and disseminating misleading content that is potentially dangerous to public health. This research focuses on a rather unknown phenomenon, which involves digital sites that mimic the appearance of news media but provide pseudo-information. Five Spanish pseudo-media have been analyzed with the aim of enhancing understanding of the issues and the frames presented. The results show clear links with the far-right ideology as well as the presence of a p…

Populist demand, economic development and regional identity across nine European countries: exploring regional patterns of variance
2019
Today, populism has gradually become one of the most talked about, most studied phenomena, both within and beyond academia. Most studies of populism focus on its conceptualisation, operationalisation, measurement or its outcomes. However, adding to the growing empirical analysis of populism, we propose to study populism as a regional-level phenomenon and explain regional patterns of variation in the populist demand. To do so, we develop a series of theoretical arguments from, which we subsequently test empirically. Specifically, we argue that higher levels of regional populism demand are associated with (i) economic hardship, (ii) strong institutional autonomy, (iii) strong territorial iden…

La crisi del dibattito pubblico nell'Italia contemporanea: il discorso populista
2019
In this paper I discuss the current state of the so called populist political discourse in Italy. In particular my purpose is to shed light on some features of this kind of discourse in order to show the relation between language and policy in the discourse of populism. In this perspective I will follow the eight key points that, according to Diamanti & Lazar (2018), identify the actual populist movements, in order to verify if – and, in that case, which – linguistic traits characterize their discourse.The analysis will be focused on the semantic and argumentative aspects of the discourse of some of the most important political actors in contemporary Italy.
Migrations, Populisms and Emergencies: A Sicilian Case Study
2022
The contemporary political situation has been characterized, in recent years, by the emergence of multiple forms of populism. Since populist discourses have often used migrants and migrations instrumentally, one should clarify what populism, souverainism and the ‘spatialization of fear’ actually mean. In this sense, many European states have ambiguously wavered between the rejection of supranational entities (as in the case of the United Kingdom with the Brexit, or the first version of Marine Le Pen’s Front National) and the desire to strengthen European borders, considered culturally homogeneous, against the ‘threat’ of foreigners arriving from Africa and Asia. Ever since the coronavirus e…
