Climate change and attribution in Italian TV news coverage of the Emilia-Romagna flood
While extreme weather events may make climate change feel more immediate and personally relevant, this potential depends largely on how such events are framed in the media. This article examines how Italian prime-time television news covered the May 2023 floods in Emilia-Romagna, focusing on the salience of climate change, the framing of causal attribution, the visibility of political and scientific actors, and the presence of obstructionist narr…
The role of public issue salience in the relationship between political orientation and climate change concern
Populism Still Matters
Populism Still MattersPopulism is, without a doubt, popular.The term is widely used in public discourse, often embraced by political actors themselves, sometimes even with pride.But it has also become increasingly popular in the social sciences. Perhaps even too popular?A quick search in Scopus reveals an interesting trend.Looking for the term "populism" (in English only), we find that until around 2008, fewer than 100 articles per year included …
Is the public legitimacy of protests rooted in the political context? An experimental study comparing protests by environmentalists and farmers
What are the characteristics of a political protest that enable it to win public support, and what is the role of the political environment? The literature has argued about the characteristics that induce the public to sympathize with protesters (such as the identity of the protesters, their demands, and their methods), but little research has focused on the role of the political context, which includes the presence of other protests making diffe…
Multiscalar strategies in right-wing populism
This paper demonstrates the heuristic value of using a multiscalar perspective to analyse right-wing populist discourse, especially in borderland regions. While it is commonly posited that right-wing populist ideology implies a Manichean dichotomy between in- and out-groups, this study reveals that right-wing populist discursive strategies can thrive in multiscalar contexts. To substantiate this claim, the article conducts a comparative analysis …
Business as usual? How gamification transforms internal party democracy
This article was motivated by the question whether gamification represents a substantial innovation in internal party democracy, by contributing to change the dynamics of power within parties. To answer this question, we examine the only known case of gamification in the field of internal party voting, launched by the Italian Movimento 5 Stelle. We expected that gamified internal votes would reduce the incumbent advantage and promote party activi…
From social movements to institutionalization
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the events of 2019 concerning the realization of the high-speed railway line linking Turin and Lyon (Treno ad alta velocità, Tav), an infrastructure project that has always been a crucial issue for the Movimento 5 stelle (Five-star Movement, M5s). Given the importance of environmental issues to the M5s, the party has always paid considerable attention to the Tav issue, and it supported the movement agai…
Unifying and Multiplying the People
National-populist parties display a discourse based on the defense of the national integrity. However, in the current European context, these parties have to deal with an increasing cultural heterogeneity, new forms of citizenship, and multi-scaling arenas. How does national-populism develop its narratives in these settings? The paper elaborates a framework for understanding the way in which ambiguity is included in the discursive strategies of n…
Between social movements and the constraints of government
The aim of this article is to analyse the evolution of the Movimento Cinque Stelle (Five-star Movement, M5s) in the city of Turin from its beginnings to the election of Chiara Appendino as mayor in June 2016 in order to assess the impact of the passing of the threshold of government on three distinct areas: party organisation, the party’s identity and ‘ideology’ and the Movement’s relationship with citizens, social movements and the local media. …
The Dynamics of the Electoral Geography of the Five Star Movement
The aim of the article is to trace the evolution of the Movimento 5 Stelle (Five Star Movement [M.5.S.]) over the last four national elections (the 2013 and 2018 general elections and the 2014 and 2019 European elections). In particular, our goal is to understand how the electoral support for the party changed, in the context of the broad transformations of the Italian electoral geography. In order to accomplish this goal, we investigate the expl…
