Participation in Social Media: Studying Explicit and Implicit Forms of Participation in Communicative Social Networks
2016
The diverse forms of participation in social media raise many methodological and ethical issues that should be acknowledged in research. In this paper, participation in social media is studied by utilising the framework of explicit and implicit participation. The focus is on the communicative and communal aspects of social media. The aim of the paper is to promote the reconsideration of what constitutes participation when online users create connections rather than content. The underlying argument is that research on social media and the development of methods should concentrate more on implicit forms of participation.
Architettura e urbanistica, presupposti e partecipazione
2012
In analysing the relationship between architecture and urban planning, this paper starts from Leonardo Benevolo’s declaration (in 1963) that defines the latter as “a part of politics required to concretize each operational program”. So, while waiting for the long expected reform, urban planning – once as well as today – needs a complete overhaul to get a better understanding of its role and relationship with politics. The other reference is to one of the founders of this field of research, Patrick Geddes, and his definition of “civic science” (1915). This allows us to stress how modern Geddes’ urban and social planning was. The subject is analysed at its various historical stages, and the m…
Violent Conflicts and the New Mediatization: The Impact of Social Media on the European Parliamentary Agenda Regarding the Syrian War
2018
As key institutions in Western democracies, parliaments have gained importance regarding foreign affairs issues in recent years. Their increasing role as moral tribunes and discussion forums on conflict prevention and resolution have led to the parliamentarization of international affairs. The examination of the parliamentary agenda and the actors who shape it constitutes a fundamental part of agenda-setting studies as applied to the media and political systems. Among these actors, mass media must be highlighted, taking into account the complex process of information gathering for members of Parliament, particularly in cases related to international violent conflicts. Moreover, in the speci…

Il packaging come icona culturale? Processi di significazione e meccanismi intertestuali
2020
Questo contributo si interroga sul modo in cui alcune confezioni dei prodotti possano assurgere a icone culturali in grado di condensare, e al tempo stesso trascendere e rilanciare, ampi significati di tipo socioculturale. I packaging di alcuni brand mondiali, gia da tempo, sono diventati non solo segno inconfondibile del brand di appartenenza (si pensi alla contour di Coca-Cola o al barattolo di Nutella), ma anche oggetti in grado di comunicare molto altro, che finiscono per sganciarsi dal marchio e contribuiscono a far circolare valori di consumo, abitudini di un’epoca, usi collettivi di una certa cultura. Attraverso l’analisi di alcuni casi studio, indagheremo proprio quali sono i proces…
Social Media as Platform for Stimulating Urban Changes
2016
Images have always been an important part of city planning – current images of place, images with planned improvements, maps and sketches. Some time ago all that was a private property of stakeholders like planner and client. But nowadays this confidentiality rather much has vanished – no copyrights or competition is noteworthy. Plans do not have their privacy anymore. They are exposed even before they got implemented. This article will display why city planners share the images of their ideas, of their dreams in public (mostly in blogs and social networks) – why it is important for them and what kind of feedback they are waiting for. This article is based on case study where 12 respondents…
Building a political image on Instagram: A study of the personal profile of Santiago Abascal (Vox) in 2018
2020
Due to Instagram’s growing popularity in Spain, politicians have also begun to turn to this social network increasingly more. Accordingly, this paper analyses the visual and textual discourse of 259 posts published throughout 2018 on the personal Instagram profile of Santiago Abascal, the leader of the party Vox. Insofar as he is the Spanish politician with the highest number of followers on Instagram, the aim here is to analyse how he uses this social network in order to identify possible strategies that justify his growing number of followers. In the analysis, special attention was paid to aspects that might have contributed to the (self)presentation of Abascal and the promotion of his pa…
Exploration des enjeux de la demande sociale pour les SIC
2016
Les Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication constituent un terrain d’observation privilégié du débat épistémologique opposant la recherche dite fondamentale à la recherche dite appliquée. Cette opposition produit systématiquement un déclassement qualitatif de la seconde au profit de la première. Nous souhaitons ici discuter de la pertinence même du débat ainsi que de ce déclassement qui en est la conséquence. La question est alors double : nos travaux s’inscrivent-il dans la recherche dite « appliquée » ? Sont-ils en cela moins valables scientifiquement que des recherches pouvant apparaître plus nobles car déconnectées d’une valorisation socio-économique ? En complément des élément…
