Community Experiences and Practices of Resistance in Neoliberal Rationality
This article critically examines communities as sites of resistance to neoliberal rationality. It analyses their transformative potential in reconfiguring social relations within contemporary democratic crises. The study conceptualises communities of resistance as collective entities engaged in defending and strengthening social structures against systemic threats, while advocating for the reduction of inequalities and the protection of common re…
Liminalities
This article explores the development directions of liminal spaces and cities as a whole within the broader framework of neoliberalism in the Italian metropolitan context. First, neoliberalism was defined and considered in the context of liminal spaces and urban development, according to the international literature perspective. Then, with specific reference to the Italian case, through semi-structured interviews, it was found that liminal spaces…
The Public Role of Italian Sociology
Sociology has played an important role in Italy, although its centrality in public debate has fluctuated, and it has been supported or opposed by political power at different historical moments. Contemporary Italian sociology has developed since the 1950s and has been influenced in various ways by European and American sociological theories. Sociology has played an important role in Italian public debate and has offered a critical and scientific …
Social and digital vulnerabilities
In the Italian context, political and social participation in the urban dimension has experienced innovations to broaden the inclusion of citizens in public choices relating to citylife and to urban renovation. Participation found in the city a relevant space to experiment with innovation in the relationship between institutions and citizens, many initiatives advanced and developed over the years have had a powerful lever in technology: participa…
The Ongoing Transformation of the Digital Public Sphere
The recent decades more than anything else have revealed the ambivalence not only of the articulated expectations about the digital public sphere but also of the ‘real’ development itself. This thematic issue of Media and Communication highlights some of the criticalities and specificities of the evolution of the public sphere during this period where digital communication ecosystems are becoming increasingly central. The different articles offer…
Spaces of Struggle
This article aims to illustrate the complexity of the relationships between digital participation spaces and organisations related to the Southern-European and US socialist traditions. Digital communication and, in particular, the various platforms of digital participation have been long living between the illusion of techno-libertarian thrusts and the technocratic tendencies framing the New Public Management approach. The suspicion of socialist-…
Technopopulism and direct representation
This chapter deals with the issue concerning the relationships between technopopulism and the development of new populisms. In particular, the authors identify in the dynamics of transformation of representation one of the elements that contributes to the emergence of what John Keane has called “post-representative politics”. In this context, a central role is played by the media (old and new), which are also elements of acceleration for the emer…
El auge de los partidos populistas entre la tecnología, la e-democracia y el proceso de despolitización
En la última década, la crisis económica y la desconfianza en las instituciones democráticas han contribuido a una gran crisis de los partidos políticos en toda Europa. Estas son algunas de las causas que llevaron a la formación de movimientos políticos con características puramente populistas como reemplazo de los organismos intermediarios tradicionalmente deslegitimados. La crisis de la representación es la crisis de la idea de representación p…
The framing of climate change in Italian politics and its impact on public opinion
The article examines the issue of climate change and its importance to Italian politics. In particular, the authors analyse whether political parties and their leaders give due importance to the issues in their party literature and speeches. In order to investigate this phenomenon, the authors studied manifestos of those political parties represented in Parliament between 2008 and 2013, other official documents available on their websites and off…
Online journalism
The Italian imaginary has been populated in recent years by a swarm of objects with high technological content, from mobile phones to palmtop organizers, from satellite dishes to sophisticated digital audio and video equipment. The computer, by contrast, has remained in the shadows. Although it has been central to the discourse of specialists, it has entered everyday life only very gradually over the last two years. This paradox accounts for the …
