Monitoring the consensus or driving polarization? Comparing journalistic coverage of anti-Green pass and anti-war protests in France and Italy (2021–2024)
This study analyzes how the Italian and French press covered dissenting voices and protest against Covid-19 restrictions in 2021–2022 and protests against military support for Ukraine in 2022–2024. Both Covid-19 emergency measures and military support of Ukraine were backed by broad coalitions comprising government and opposition parties in Western democracies. In both cases, dissenting voices were marginalized. Such a broad political and societa…
Building Momentum
The literature focussing on digital platforms as intraorganisational intermediaries underlines a key shortcoming of this model that has not been addressed by the literatures on digital social movements, advocacy, and activism. This limitation is related to the fact that platform-based organisations usually exploit widespread representations of digital technologies as tools for democratisation, but then offer low-quality internal democracy. This h…
Is the rule of law really a European concern? Mediatized rule of law conflicts and the contestation of the independence of the judiciary in France and Italy
The rule of law is considered a foundational value of the EU, yet its validity and implementation remain heavily contested. The article investigates the Europeanisation of rule of law conflicts related to the independence of the Judiciary in Italy and France. Through a claims-making analysis of a representative sample of French and Italian legacy media and Facebook news coverage, the selective salience of the 2018–2023 conflicts over the independ…
Mobilising for organising
The Corbyn regency of the Labour Party has been marked by an apparent paradox. On one hand, the Left proved able to activate impressive processes of mobilisation during general elections and in confrontations with intraparty adversaries; on the other, it left little if any organisational legacy, rapidly retreating to a position of low relevance shortly after Corbyn’s demise. This article aims to explain such a paradox by referring to Momentum, th…
The Labour Left from Benn to Momentum
Previous works have correctly highlighted the strategic and tactical convergences between the Bennite New Left and the Corbyn insurgency. However, such scholarship has underestimated the impact of the differences in the composition between the two intra-party movements. Critically, while the Benn project developed as an attempt to update Labour strategy in times of social upheaval, Momentum and the Corbyn movement emerged as a hybrid alliance bet…
