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…
Re-Gendering Conspirational Thinking
This paper aims to investigate how social media use and gender affect beliefs in conspiracy theories on COVID-19 and how these beliefs correlate with the frequency and patterns of their use, as well as the distribution of population density in rural, town, and urban areas. I collected data from Valcon Project surveys, analyzing the usage of social media by citizens from six European countries (Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, and Ireland) o…
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 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…
Same Same but Different? Gender Politics and (Trans-)National Value Contestation in Europe on Twitter
The progress achieved in women’s rights and gender equality has become the target of a backlash driven by “anti-gender” activists and right-wing populists across EU member states. To a large extent, this conflict takes place in the digital and social media spheres, illustrating the new mediatized logic of value contestation. Therefore, we ask to what extent are the debates about gender equality on Twitter similar in three European countries, and …
New virtual communities for a renewed digital activism in Italy
This article analyses recent developments of digital tech activism within the Italian hacker scene. Being characterized by hacktivism (the combination of hacking and politics), it first boomed in the early 2000s – engaging the anti-globalization movement, protests and counter-summits with projects like Indymedia and Autistici/Inventati. Later, it had a phase of fragmentation and an ‘evolution’, towards what Hassan and Staggenborg define as a ‘soc…
