La realtà dei media è in costante trasformazione. Spesso emergono nuove piattaforme o nuove tendenze che non si fa in tempo a metabolizzare e contestualizzare prima che si esauriscano e smarriscano la propria energia propulsiva. Quello che occorre è uno sguardo, insieme descrittivo e riflessivo, che si soffermi ad analizzare ciascuna di queste nuove emergenze tentando di valutarne attentamente le conseguenze sociali e culturali, al di là di mode effimere o di interessi di corto respiro. Più che un lessico sui media, questo libro intende costruire un repertorio di temi per leggere il presente attraverso i fenomeni che interessano la comunicazione: quali le dinamiche della contemporaneità, le linee di tendenza che costituiranno la nuova agenda setting di chi riflette e si interroga sul destino della società e delle correnti che alimentano i new media? Si tratta di un libro collettaneo, scritto da studiosi che si sono occupati di temi rilevanti per l'interpretazione del mondo-media: per ciascun concetto viene esplicitato da quando se ne parla, in quali termini, quali sono gli elementi di problematizzazione nel dibattito attuale, quali le prospettive e le implicazioni sul piano dei mutamenti socio-culturali. E' un libro agile, uno strumento utile per fare il punto sulle nuove tendenze che emergono nel panorama dei media oggi, ma anche uno stimolo prezioso per contribuire ad allargare lo spettro dei fenomeni oggetto di studio dei “comunicazionisti”, nella convinzione che essi possano dire molto della società in cui viviamo a condizione di abbandonare la riserva protetta dello specialismo disciplinare. Un libro sulla comunicazione, certo, ma anche al di là della comunicazione, ovvero al di fuori della provincia finita in cui i media studies stanno negli ultimi tempi rischiando di arroccarsi con l'effetto di sbiadire la loro intrinseca vocazione ad interpretare il mondo contemporaneo.
Sociology & Anthropology includes resources that focus on human behavior shaped by social forces and the study of the history of human civilizations. Areas covered include demography, ethnic studies, family studies, women's studies, and social ethics.
Communication includes resources on the verbal and non-verbal exchange of information, including communication theory, mass media, public opinion and public relations, speech, technical writing, marketing and advertising.

to the adoption of this model, are due to greater public opinion /awareness of the issues related to the quality of life,
environmental sustainability and energy saving. Within a wide-ranging crisis, that starts with issues such as
pollution and the high cost of energy, and continues with the exploitation of land resources and climate change, the
concept of ‘smart city’ seems to be the key to a real socio-cultural change. In this sense, the research aims to explore
the trends of use of this term within the two major Italian online newspapers (corriere.it and repubblica.it), during
the time from 1993 to 2013. Specifically, through research of historical archives available online, we try to
understand the context and content associated with the use of this term.Objectives of the survey are:
a. Situate the ‘smart cities’ within a strategic and innovative framework;
b . Identify semantic areas and a universal meaning adopted by both newspapers;
c . To understand the representation provided by both newspapers to the object of study in reference to the potential
application of the model;
d. Define the evolution of the use of the term ‘smart city’ in its various forms

Il concetto di smart city viene narrato attraverso molteplici universi semantici, inducendo il lettore alla creazione di un immaginario “smart” orientato a volte troppo spesso alla politica e all’investimento economico e imprenditoriale. Le news selezionate, circa 300 nell’arco di 10 anni, forniscono un primo indizio su quali sono i professionisti coinvolti nella narrazione mediatica e chiamati a contribuire alla costruzione del dibattito pubblico.

Ma, a differenza del rischio terrorismo che, come nel caso dell’attentato alle Twin Towers, può essere esorcizzato con l’esibizione del potere e metabolizzato attraverso le rappresentazioni pubbliche, le ansie per la furia della natura non si cancellano facilmente e lasciano nella gente una sensazione di insicurezza diffusa e insieme di fatalistica impotenza. Questo libro, frutto di una riflessione collettiva e interdisciplinare, indaga sul ruolo dei media nelle dinamiche che scatenano la paura, e si interroga su quali strategie comunicative si possono mettere in campo per trasformare uno scenario catastrofico hard, che atterrisce e paralizza, in una rappresentazione della natura che punta alla sostenibilità e chiama in causa la responsabilità dei singoli. Per vivere l’ambiente né come miracolo né come trauma ma come bene comune, da coltivare individualmente e tutti insieme. .

From 11 September 2001 onwards, the imagery of catastrophe is poured directly from the everyday to the scene on TV, radio, web, etc.. Tsunamis, earthquakes, avalanches, hurricanes and floods bounce without filters symbolic of the realities of the screens, and these fall on their life by multiplying the load of fear and anxiety. But, unlike the risk of terrorism, as in the case of the attack on the Twin Towers, it can be exorcised with the performance of power and metabolized through public performances, anxieties for the fury of nature is not easily erased and leave in people a feeling of insecurity and widespread set of fatalistic helplessness. This book, the result of a collective reflection and interdisciplinary, explores the role of the media in the dynamics that trigger fear, and questions about what communication strategies you can implement to transform a catastrophic scenario hard, which terrifies and paralyzes, in a representation of nature that points to the sustainability and calls into question the responsibility of the individual. To experience the environment or as a miracle or as a trauma but as a common good, to grow individually and all together. .

The Importance of Governance in Regional Labour Market Monitoring for Evidence-based Policy-making, 2017

In the era of Big Data, we have access to so many more data than ever before, but we find ourselves grappling with a big challenge: make sense to the numbers.
A contribution in this direction could arise from the labour market in general, and from small and medium-sized enterprises in particular. In Italy, in fact, SMEs are not only the image of the vitality of the economy, but they are also the badminton of our innovation (Istat, 2013).
In this regard, indeed, like many others corporate functions, HR can benefit from the enormous volume of Big Data that is generated and collected via the Internet.
So, on the one hand, the Internet could help companies to meet a variety of human capital opportunities: find hidden talent, identify the best qualified candidates, and understand how they can beat competitors in the job market. On the other hand, job seekers may be aware in what they post or share in digital environments because their online presence could easily become part of their professional record or their chances of employment.
Specifically, through some “in-depth interviews” with recruiters working in small and medium-sized enterprises based in Lazio (Italy), we try to understand some critical issues associated with the use of Big Data in recruiting, as following:
a. situate the “big HR data” within a strategic and innovative framework;
b. understand how SMEs can implement recruiting strategies online and through which tools;
c. identify any form of brand monitoring strategy adopted by SMEs of Lazio (online presence, online reputation, privacy and publicity awareness);
d. understand in which way the online presence of job candidates, on SNSs in particular, influences the recruitment process.

The effects of the rapid and widespread development of ICT, of the Internet and of Web 2.0, not o... more The effects of the rapid and widespread development of ICT, of the Internet and of Web 2.0, not only are investing the customs and traditions of everyday life, but they also appear to have significant repercussions both on society and on its subsystems. Consequently, the scenario is far from stable: the significant redefinition of reference models is changing even the most “institutionalised” structures of the Postmodern society (from politic to economy, from school to family, from cultural consumption to media diet). One of the most important aspect concerns the origin of the change itself: it is increasingly common that many of the social changes are "grassroots movements", that arise from citizens and from Internet users.
This is shown by some new market segments, such as the sharing economy and the new kind of “peer to peer” services, that coexist with the traditional market (for example, we would mention the cohabitation between Uber and taxy, Airbnb and accommodation facilities). But too little has as yet been told on the nature, on the identity and on the economic and social role played by these intermediation/dis-intermediation services, that have arised in recent years.
On this basis, and with particular reference to the concepts of ‘datafication’ (Mayer-Schönberger & Cukier 2013; Newell e Marabelli 2015), transparency and data sharing, the research aims to study the emerging social phenomena that are produced by the digital revolution applied to the labour market.
In this regard, we will try to understand the origins and the consequences (modification of the anthropology of individuals; empowerment of their own cognitive skills) of the ‘new market demand’ and of the ‘new market supply’, both in terms of satisfaction with the possibilities arising from digital technologies and of change in lifestyle. To do that, we will analyse some of the most important global players in the field of sharing economy (for example, Uber, AirBnb, BlaBlaCar) to outline:
1) the relationship between mediation, intermediation e disintermediation;
2) the dynamics of the coexistence between old and new services that create a relation between demand and supply, where new demand is an addition to rather than a substitution;
3) the nature, the identity and the business name of the so-called new intermediaries.
It's almost as if the ‘data’ are taken on a life of their own and that they are gotten in people’s lives to determine their social destinies.
With this research, in summary, we intend to set the conditions for understanding if the impressive and extensive diffusion of digital communication could portray itself as a genuine social revolution between people and institution or if, on the contrary, it is still the economy to shape society.
