Global Italy: Media, Identity and the Future of the Nation-State Global Italy: Media, Identity and the Future of the Nation-State Mark Hayward A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication Studies. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by Lawrence Grossberg Michael Hardt Kara Keeling John Pickles Sarah Sharma Abstract: This dissertation explores transformations in the structure of the Italian media policy, paying particular attention to public broadcaster Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) and its operations outside of Italy since the end of the Second World War. Through an analysis of government documents and broadcast programming, I look at how the links between cultural production, state institutions, the rights of citizens, and the economy are reorganized in relation to discourses about Italians living outside of Italy. Part of the reorganization that has taken place over the past fifty years has involved a re-conception of what it means to be ‘Italian‘ both in terms of legal rights and ideas of belonging. It argues that these transformations, often attributed exclusively to processes of economic globalization, cannot be understood properly unless placed in the context of shifts in the meaning of Italian identity, the practice of citizenship, and media consumption. This project explores how this ensemble of changes relates to broader shifts in state-form globally and begins to evaluate how notions of identity and agency, in other words the ways in which people live and understand themselves in the ‘global’ era. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract................................................................................................................................................. ii Table of Contents ................................................................................................................................. iii Acknowledgements............................................................................................................................... vi CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………………...1 Italy and Italians abroad..................................................................................................................... 10 Cultural Industries and the State ........................................................................................................ 15 Chapter Summaries............................................................................................................................. 21 CHAPTER TWO…………………………………………………………………………………………..30 The Economic Miracle ........................................................................................................................ 33 Early Television In Italy...................................................................................................................... 36 Training Migrants: Italiani nel Mondo and Guida per gli emigrati ................................................... 48 Marcinelle ........................................................................................................................................... 54 CHAPTER THREE………………………………………………………………………………………..62 International Italian Broadcasting...................................................................................................... 64 The 'Dante' and the problem of reinvention........................................................................................ 75 Counting Italians abroad .................................................................................................................... 84 Nationalist Economy of Italian Migration .......................................................................................... 90 CHAPTER FOUR…………………………………………………………………………………………93 FUSIE and the International Press Subsidy........................................................................................ 94 FILEF and Italians abroad ................................................................................................................. 99 The Movimento Italiano Sociale and Italians Abroad ...................................................................... 107 Bruno Zoratto and the turn to the right............................................................................................. 116 ‘Culture of the Right’ ........................................................................................................................ 123 CHAPTER FIVE…………………………………………………………………………………………128 The Creation of RAI International .................................................................................................... 130 International Broadcasting, Language and Ethno-capitalism.......................................................... 137 Distribution and the Problem of the International Italian Market.................................................... 144 Tarak Ben Ammar and the Clash of Ethno-Capitalisms ................................................................... 152 CHAPTER SIX…………………………………………………………………………………………...162 Mega-Events and Return Information............................................................................................... 165 Il Caso Canadese .............................................................................................................................. 177 Cultural Diversity in Canadian Broadcasting .................................................................................. 184 iii Revising Multiculturalism ................................................................................................................. 190 June 5th, 2006.................................................................................................................................... 194 CHAPTER SEVEN: CONCLUSION…………………………………………………………………...197 APPENDICES…………………………………………………………………………………………….208 Appendix A: RAI Telefilms about Migration, 1956 -

The Graduate School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill also provided a dissertation completion fellowship which allowed me to finish writing everything up. vii Chapter One: Introduction On 9-10 April 2006, national elections were held in Italy. Being in Rome on election night, I walked from my apartment to Piazza del Popolo where Romano Prodi’s centre-left coalition had planned a massive victory celebration. Voting had closed a few hours earlier and, based on polls leading up to the election, the centre-left had felt confident enough about the outcome that they announced earlier in the day that the evening’s events would start at eight o’clock. The leaders of the coalition parties were scheduled to take the stage together sometime before midnight. In spite of early indications that Prodi’s “Democratic Union” coalition was heading towards certain victory, the piazza was almost empty and the stage dark upon my arrival at half past nine. Curious as to what was going on, I walked back towards my apartment, stopping along the way in the Piazza Sant’Apostoli where Prodi’s campaign headquarters were located. A crowd had gathered in front of the offices and was watching the

  • The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV
    School of Economics and Finance The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV Ruben Durante, Paolo Pinotti and Andrea Tesei Working Paper No. 762 December 201 5 ISSN 1473-0278 The Political Legacy of Entertainment TV∗ Ruben Durantey Paolo Pinottiz Andrea Teseix July 2015 Abstract We investigate the political impact of entertainment television in Italy over the past thirty years by exploiting the staggered intro- duction of Silvio Berlusconi's commercial TV network, Mediaset, in the early 1980s. We find that individuals in municipalities that had access to Mediaset prior to 1985 - when the network only featured light entertainment programs - were significantly more likely to vote for Berlusconi's party in 1994, when he first ran for office. This effect persists for almost two decades and five elections, and is es- pecially pronounced for heavy TV viewers, namely the very young and the old. We relate the extreme persistence of the effect to the relative incidence of these age groups in the voting population, and explore different mechanisms through which early exposure to en- tertainment content may have influenced their political attitudes.

  • Citizenship and Belonging: the Case of the Italian Vote Abroad
    Ethnic Studies Review Vo lume 33.1 Citizenship and Belonging: The Case of the Italian Vote Abroad David Aliano College of Mount Saint Vi ncent The ease in which people are able to travel and com­ municate with one another across national boundaries is challenging the way in which we identify ourselves and define our place in the world. In an increasingly global­ ized world the very concept of a national identity is itself being redefined as multiple identities and dual citizen­ ships have become more common than ever. This process of global interconnectedness has progressed so rapidly in the past few years that many are beginning to question how we define national models. The European Union, NAFTA, MERCOSUR, multi-national corporate affiliations, and virtual communities over the internet are all fast creating new collective forms of identity filling a role traditionally associated with the nation-state. These new realities test the limits of traditional citizenship models and challenge us to rethink national identities that tran­ scend borders. In December 2001 the Italian Parliament passed a law granting Italian citizens living abroad the right to not only vote in Italian elections but to also elect their own 36 Aliano-Citizenship and Belongi ng specially designated representatives to the Italian Parlia­ ment. Many of these new voters were second and third generation children of emigrants who had only recent­ ly attained their Italian citizenship. These new citizens played a decisive role in their ancestral homeland's po­ litical process and in so doing provoked no small amount of debate over extraterritorial citizenship.
