Mapping the literature on surveillance capitalism
Surveillance capitalism (SC) — as intended by Shoshana Zuboff — is a fairly recent concept, but it has already attracted the attention of many scholars from various fields within social sciences. Despite this interest, a comprehensive review of the available literature on this concept is lacking. To address this gap, we systematically mapped the contributions on SC. Working on a database of 486 papers downloaded from Scopus and Web of Science, we…
AI Chatbots in Political Campaigns
As the application of artificial intelligence in various domains and sectors grows, politics—especially political communication—is no exception. However, academic considerations on the topic remain limited, partly due to its novelty. To contribute to the ongoing discussions at the intersection of AI and political campaigns, this research report presents the development and use of an AI chatbot employed by an Italian candidate during the 2024 Euro…
Lower Cynicism, Not Higher Literacy, Promotes Protective Behavior
Prior research on digital inequality has highlighted the role of sociocultural resources in shaping Internet beneficial use patterns by positively impacting on online literacy. Research on privacy protection online has—at the same time—shown the emergence of a “privacy cynicism,” where concerns about privacy fail to translate into protective actions. This study investigates how education level impacts privacy protection behavior through these two…
Implementing a peer-to-peer digital literacy course for older adults
Digital sovereignty or sovereignism? Investigating the political discourse on digital contact tracing apps in France
In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, European countries implemented several non-pharmaceutical interventions with country-specific policies and reduced coordination. Digital Contact Tracing (DCT) was one of the few interventions on which European countries had a common approach oriented toward DCT apps’ interoperability. As most EU countries implemented interoperable apps relying on an Apple and Google’s framework, France developed the a…
Evaluating the impact of a peer-education digital literacy course on older adults' digital skills and wellbeing
The digital transition poses relevant challenges and opportunities for older adults in aging European societies. To unleash the potential of the digital transition in old age and avoid the risk of exclusion, digital education for older adults seems to be a valuable solution. One of the most suitable approaches to digital education for older adults appears to be the peer-to-peer approach. However, not much literature is available on this topic. Wi…
Beyond Growth
For many years in the twentieth century, economic growth was synonymous with progress. In the twenty-first century, growth still holds a central place in the concept of development in Western societies, despite being identified as a fetish or an ideology, and its limits having been recognised for decades. Most recently, new debates on the need to develop a paradigm not exclusively based on growth have emerged again in Europe. Scholars have been r…
