Who Trusts Berlusconi? an Econometric Analysis of the Role of Television in the Political Arena
KYKLOS, Vol. 65 – February 2012 – No. 1, 111–131 Who Trusts Berlusconi? An Econometric Analysis of the Role of Television in the Political Arena Fabio Sabatini* I. INTRODUCTION Silvio Berlusconi has dominated Italian political life since he was first elected prime minister in 1994. He has been the third longest-serving prime minister of Italy, after Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Giolitti, and, as of May 2011, he was the longest-serving current leader of a G8 country. This political longevity is often difficult to understand for foreign political analysts. The former Italian prime minister has an extensive record of criminal allegations, including mafia collusion, false accounting, tax fraud, corruption and bribery of police officers and judges1. Recently, he has even been charged with child prostitution. In a famous editorial published in April 2001, the respected British newsmagazine The Economist stated that: “In any self-respecting democracy it would be unthinkable that the man assumed to be on the verge of being elected prime minister would recently have come under investigation for, among other things, money-laundering, complicity in murder, connections with the Mafia, tax evasion * Email: [email protected].

Anti-Gay, Sexist, Racist: Backwards Italy in British News Narratives
Filmer, D 2018 Anti-Gay, Sexist, Racist: Backwards Italy in British News Narratives. Modern Languages Open, 2018(1): 6, pp. 1–21, DOI: https://doi.org/10.3828/mlo. v0i0.160 ARTICLE Anti-Gay, Sexist, Racist: Backwards Italy in British News Narratives Denise Filmer University of Catania, IT [email protected] The Berlusconi years have witnessed Italy placed in the uncomfortable spotlight of the international media; however, now that Berlusconi’s power has waned, a timely reflection is due on the extent to which the vestiges of the former Premier’s cultural have coloured images of Italy in British news discourse. How far do cultural myths influence the selection, narration and reception of Italian news reported in British newspapers? Do Berlusconi’s verbal gaffes reverberate in the construal of newsworthiness and evaluative parameters, reinforcing and perpetuating stereotypes of Italians as a whole? These are the key issues this contribution attempts to address. Stemming from a broader research project on the representation of Berlusconi’s non politically correct language in the British press, this study examines the representation of certain aspects of Italian culture that have been the focus of British news narratives in recent years. Four recurring themes are explored and discussed: homophobia, racism, sexism and fascism. Implementing a critical discourse analysis approach, news texts retrieved from a cross-section of British newspapers reporting on Italian affairs are examined. The analysis then focuses on the invisibility of translation in reconstructing discursive events in news narratives across cultural and linguistic barriers, and suggests that decisions taken in translation solutions can reproduce and reinforce myths or stereotypes. -

Introduction On December 13, 2009, billionaire Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was struck in the face by a souvenir statuette while he was greeting a nighttime crowd in Milan.! News cameras captured him grimacing, face bloodied, as he ducked into a car and was rushed away to a nearby hospital. Ever meticulous about his polished appearance, the damage to Berlusconi's face - while not serious - seemed to mirror the battering that his political image had taken in the months prior and signaled an important, while perhaps unintended, message: Mr. Berlusconi is not immune to attack. The more serious assault on Berlusconi's power and influence, however, occurred a month earlier on October 7, 2009, when the Italian Constitutional Court overturned a law that granted immunity from prosecution to the holders of Italy's four highest public offices, the Prime Minister among them.3 This was of particular importance * Co-Editor in Chief, Hastings Internationaland Comparative Law Review. -

Silvio Berlusconi
Silvio Berlusconi Italia, Primer ministro (3º ejercicio) Duración del mandato: 08 de Mayo de 2008 - de de Nacimiento: Milán, región de Lombardía, 29 de Septiembre de 1936 Partido político: Forza Italia, PdL Profesión : Empresario Resumen Ya en el poder, ya en la oposición, Silvio Berlusconi, el más atípico de los líderes europeos, ha dominado la escena política italiana de los últimos 17 años, período que abren y cierran unas circunstancias históricas muy concretas. Su cuasi década en el Ejecutivo, dividida en tres legislaturas y cuatro gobiernos, fue una anomalía democrática permanente, a saber: la reunión en una misma persona de la mayor fortuna privada del país y del cargo de primer ministro. Una situación insólita que este empresario-político, maestro del espectáculo y el ardid, capaz de mantener unas altas cotas de popularidad pese al cúmulo de desaguisados, no hizo más que agudizar en la medida que convirtió el conflicto de intereses y la prevaricación encubierta en principios consuetudinarios de gobierno. Al terminar 2011, el balance de esta singular experiencia es, para Italia y para el conjunto de la Unión Europea, decididamente negativo, a la luz de sus secuelas políticas, económicas, sociales y hasta culturales, terrenos todos ellos degradados en mayor o menor medida. EL PRIMER PERIODO DE GOBIERNO (1994-1995) En 1994 Berlusconi irrumpió de manera espectacular en la política italiana en un momento crucial para el país: el hundimiento, socavado por la campaña judicial Mani Pulite contra la corrupción institucionalizada, del edificio de partidos que había dominado la República parlamentaria de la posguerra. Dispuesto a ocupar el inmenso hueco dejado por la Democracia Cristiana y, en parte, el Partido Socialista, el fundador y dueño del holding multisectorial Fininvest lanzó un partido personalista, Forza Italia, haciendo gala de grandes dosis de audacia, oportunismo y populismo, amén de habilidad mediática y sagacidad. -

13 Censorship and Media Ownership in Italy in the Era of Berlusconi Abstract What We Can Learn About Media Ownership and Politic
GMJ: Mediterranean Edition 9(1) Spring 2014 13 Censorship and media ownership in Italy in the Era of Berlusconi Massimo Ragnedda Abstract What we can learn about media ownership and political discourse in general through the lens of the Italian media system? The article looks at the rise of Berlusconi’s media empire and its impact on the country’s people, ethics and customs. The new deal inaugurated in Italy since 1994 when Berlusconi won his first political election, is well known as “Berlusconismo”. This new system is a sort of political, cultural and economic regime in Italy, wedding a populist and neoliberal regime. The aim is to see how it is possible to combine censorship and democracy using as example Berlusconi’s contemporary regime. The article proposes a classification of seven different types of censorship observed during Berlusconi’s governments. Some of these forms are directly linked to the totalitarian censorship, while others are emerging in a new form in a democratic system. This mix of old and new forms of censorship are typical of ‘Berlusconismo’. Introduction Why have Italians so long tolerated the scandals and policies of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and is there a tipping point for Italians? This article examines Berlusconi’s rise and longevity, despite a string of sex scandals and accusations of corruption. This article tries to understand what we can learn about media ownership, censorship and political discourse in general through the lens of the Italian media system. This is an important issue because understanding what happens in Italy helps us to see what could happen elsewhere in the world, in similar circumstances. -

John B. Thompson, o poder e o escândalo político: o caso italiano na era de Silvio Berlusconi Gaspare Trapani John B. Thompson, o poder e o escândalo político: o caso italiano na era de Silvio Berlusconi Gaspare Trapani Universidade Católica Portuguesa (FCH/CECC/UCP) Universidade de Lisboa (FLUL) [email protected] Ora, degli italiani piccolo-borghesi si sentono tranquilli davanti a ogni forma di scandalo, se questo scandalo ha dietro una qualsiasi forma di opinione pubblica o di potere; perché essi riconoscono subito, in tale scandalo, una possibilità di istituzionalizzazione, e, con questa possibilità, essi fraternizzano. (Pier Paolo Pasolini) RESUMO: Há quase 24 anos, os italianos e o mundo assistiam à entrada triunfal de Silvio Berlusconi na política. Apenas dois meses mais tarde, Berlusconi tornava-se primeiro-ministro. A irrupção de Berlusconi na cena política é indubitavelmente um marco revolucionário, que transformou o sistema social e cultural italiano e a maneira como os italianos se representam e são representados. Um papel central neste processo de (auto)-representação foi jogado pela imagem que os muitos escândalos deram do Cavaliere. Este artigo visa examinar, à luz de um dos mais célebres ensaios de John B. Thompson, sociólogo e professor da Universidade de Cambridge, O Escândalo político - Poder e visibilidade na era da mídia, a relação entre o escândalo e o impacto político e cultural de Silvio Berlusconi e do Berlusconismo sobre a sociedade italiana. Palavras-chave: Silvio Berlusconi. Escândalo. Impacto político. ABSTRACT: Quasi 24 anni fa, gli italiani e il mondo assistevano all'ingresso trionfale di Silvio Berlusconi in politica. In soli due mesi Berlusconi diventava primo ministro.
