Heuristic or analytical pathway? A multimodal analysis of communicative features in Southern Italian Renewable Energy Communities (RECs)
Introduction Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) represent a multifaceted phenomenon at the intersection of technical, social, and economic dimensions. Despite their potential to foster sustainable transitions, RECs remain relatively unfamiliar and abstract to the broader public. Methods This study addresses this gap by examining how persuasive communication strategies are employed in public informative videos aimed at raising awareness and encou…
The communicative processes in the renewable energy communities (REC): A systematic review
Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) represent an important resource for promoting the energy transition through participative forms of governance. Focusing on communicative processes is crucial for the success of RECs, since effective communication can promote citizens’ engagement and participation in these projects. This systematic review aims to investigate communication within the RECs, exploring the main communicative strategies and channels,…
Framing News and Framing Migrants: A Qualitative Study
Frames can have an essential role in the (re)production of the ‘shared ideologies’ concerning several social categories, including migrants. The overall aim of this work is to investigate the discursive construction of frames concerning migration, as rhetoric tools (a) connected to editorial orientations; (b) related to both specific events and more general thematic news articles; (c) having socio-cultural and emotional connotations. The qualitat…
Racial Disinformation, Populism and Associated Stereotypes across Three European Countries during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Within the realm of disinformation, across all media platforms, a crucial subject of interest seems to be immigration, which produces the so-called ‘racial hoaxes’. Racial hoaxes are closely linked to the spread of populist ideologies and ethnic stereotypes, both of which are psychosocial processes that, during health crises, could acquire particular features based on cultural differences. This study analysed the main contents of 239 racial hoaxe…
Online Mothering: The Empowering Nature of a Hashtag Movement Founded on Social Sharing and Stereotype Deconstruction
Online mothering is an arising and multifaceted phenomenon as the online world offers unique opportunities and risks in a particularly challenging period. The overall aim of this work is to investigate the features of the hashtag movement #itcouldbeme, which was born after a terrible news event concerning a newborn’s death, specifically concerning (a) the e-activation levels; (b) the emotional arousal; (c) the potential presence of deconstruction…
Health Communication in the Time of Covid-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Analysis of Italian Advertisements
In the climate of great uncertainty characterizing the COVID-19 pandemic, health communication played a significant role: several communicative strategies and channels were used to inform, educate and alert. Entropy-related risks were soon translated into the "infodemic", a wide-spread phenomenon with psychosocial and cultural roots. Therefore, new challenges for public institutions occurred: public health communication, especially expressed thro…
Social-Epistemic Rhetoric of (Un)certainty in Biomedical and Psychiatric Scientific Academic Writing: A Diatextual Analysis
In line with the general aims of scientific textuality, research papers in the biomedical and psychiatric academic domains mostly attempt to demonstrate the validity of their assumptions and to contrast with the sense of uncertainty that sometimes frames their conclusions. Moving from this premise, the present paper aimed to focus on these features and to investigate if and the extent to which biomedical and psychiatric texts convey different soc…
Un-Certainty as a Pragmatic Resource for Psychiatric Argumentation: A Diachronical and Diatextual Approach
Psychiatry is the science that aims to propose plausible theories in the description and explanation of “body-mind” pathologies. Since also the modern institution of science produces a type of discourse aimed at reducing human insecuritas through a progressive falsification of conjectures on how things are actually, it seems very important to monitor the discursive construction of un-certainty about an extremely elusive object such as the abnorma…
An authentic feeling? Religious experience through Q&A websites
As the “Sacred Place”—meant as the new space for religions offered by the Internet—demands for continuous investigations on the encounter between traditional narratives and social practices, the rapid growth of Question and Answering websites asks for improving social research about the Authenticity of the religious feeling as well as their responsibility in the construction of a shared knowledge. In this background, the aim of this study is to i…
Adolescent Psychological Well‐being, Radicalism, and Activism: The Mediating Role of Social Disconnectedness and the Illegitimacy of the Authorities
The identification of factors that counter youth's radicalization while promoting democratic activism is a timely social issue. This paper examines the association of psychological well-being (PWB) with violent radicalism and nonviolent activism, by focusing on the mediating role of both social disconnectedness (SD) and the perceived illegitimacy of the authorities (PIoA). Two mediation structural equation models (full vs. partial) were applied t…
Diatexts at work: The diatextual approach as a psycho-cultural path of critical discourse analysis in the organizational context
Purpose The paper argues that the diatextual analysis could be considered a psycho-cultural path of critical discourse analysis because it stresses the role of hermeneutical procedures in catching the inter-subjective nature of meanings. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these theoretical speculations in light with some empirical evidences coming from a discursive study exploring the construction of organizational identity through socializa…
Me, myself, and God: Religion as a psychocultural resource of meaning in later life
The present paper addressed the different meanings attached to religion as cultural resource in the course of life. Indeed, abundant cultural research has confirmed that religion could be a powerful symbolic system that shapes people’s beliefs and attitudes. Its significance may depend on contextual factors and may vary over time and place, thus showing different implications across cultures and group cohorts. To better investigate such assumptio…
The dialogic construction of certainty in legal contexts
The contexts of legal communication are characterized by the maximum strain between the spread of doubtfulness and the aspiration to certainty. The distance between the versions of events proposed by prosecution and defense is clear evidence of the sense-making dynamic that marks the human condition as “insecuritas”. The analysis of legal contexts allows us to capture the complex process of the discursive construction of (un)certainty, that inter…
Old Roots, New Branches: The Shoots of Diatextual Analysis
The present contribution focuses on the discursive perspective, which finds its roots in the several “turns” that animated the previous century. Besides the “discursive” and the “narrative” turns, the “contextual turn” has highlighted that meanings shape themselves in a context, which could be seen both as a “cotext” (the linguistic around) as well as an extralinguistic frame (Slama-Cazacu 1959 / 1961). Such perspective allows considering texts a…
