Segmenting the spectators of national team sports: the case of a pre-competition match
2015
It has become common for academics and sports marketing professionals to study and explain the heterogeneity and complexity of sports spectators' behaviours and attitudes, with numerous works addressing this topic But these surveys are more about fans of professional sports clubs (soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, etc) who attend regular season games in their favourite teams' home stadium or arena. To our knowledge, very few studies have been conducted into spectators of national teams. It is these spectators who are of the focus of this paper.

«Noi sediamo sulle rive del Po, lamentando la cattività del nostro paese»: gli ebrei nell’esilio babilonese come iconografia politica del Risorgimento
2018
Quella degli Ebrei nell’esilio babilonese è un’iconografia romantica ben conosciuta in Germania e Francia che, varcata i confini del Bel paese, assume la valenza di una metafora delle condizioni d’Italia dopo le fallite insurrezioni del 1848. A spianare la strada per l’uso massiccio di metafore bibliche da parte dei patrioti risorgimentali è soprattutto l’ampia circolazione di versioni poetiche che propongono dei salmi un’interpretazione laica invisa agli ambienti clericali, ma dal forte impatto sulla comunicazione dei volontari. Queste componenti letterarie e culturali generano un contesto ricettivo carico di ambivalenza politica che viene sfruttato dagli artisti rivelandosi, però, ineffic…

2021
Advancements in digital technologies have become novel ways to enrich communication, expression, and transmission of arts knowledge.

“KKona where’s your sense of patriotism?” : Positioning Nationality in the Spectatorship of Competitive Overwatch Play
2022
AbstractThis chapter analyzes the discursive construction of nationality and ethnicity in the context of the Overwatch World Cup 2019 and especially among the discussions of the world cup’s spectators on the live-streaming platform Twitch. Drawing on the positioning theory and the concept of banal nationalism, our study demonstrates how esports fans are active negotiators and co-creators of the esports discourse. The analysis illustrates what kind of role nationality and ethnicity take in this environment, in other words what they come to mean for those participating in the discourses defining them.
Tragedia griega: una metáfora de debate público y participación democrática
2019
Athenian citizens deliberate in the assembly, but the theatre also becomes a place for public debate. In addition to being a consequence of economic or cultural aspects, democracy is a consequence of the development of a democratic imaginary. Located in that imaginary, Greek tragedies, regarded as «democratic myths», work to reaffirm Athenian democracy. Far from being dogmatic, the tragic myth explores the contradictions of social and personal life and implicitly or explicitly seeks their correction. This dramatic genre encourages participation from the spectator (citizen) that greatly exceeds the schematic reduction in Aristotelian theory of catharsis. Greek tragedy proposes the existence …
Sport and Quality of Life
2022
Negli ultimi trent’anni lo sport ha assunto un significato molto rilevante nella vita delle persone e, seppure con notevoli differenze, sia nei paesi a sviluppo economico avanzato, sia in quelli in via di sviluppo. A livello individuale, esso ha costituito un’area di investimento identitario quando ha assunto la forma di sport spettacolo del quale fruire, alimentando la pratica del tifo e il fandom o costituendo il modello di uno stile di vita vincente; ma anche quando ha assunto la forma di pratica del tempo libero attraverso la quale tenersi in forma, facendo crescere, in questo caso, la diffusione di una cultura della salute e del benessere. Si tratta di due modalità di approcciare al co…
