Contemporary Citizenship: Four Types 11 The third form of citizenship identifies the citizen with participation in the work force, emphasising self-reliance and autonomy. This type of citizenship, which was pre-eminently explored by the political philosopher Judith Shklar in American Citizenship (1991), is associated with American liberalism. In the absence of a state-managed welfare system, the American pattern of citizenship required the private provision of insurance, social security and welfare. These three forms were never entirely separate and various combinations were always possible, producing hybrid traditions of citizenship; as a result, they can be regarded for the sake of convenience merely as ideal types. In this discussion, I argue that with economic globalisation and the development of neoliberal strategies, the various forms of citizenship have converged towards a new model

Students who take the course will be able to comprehend the most recent developments in political communication across Western democracies as well as to understand the complex media-politics relationships in Italy. The first part of the course will enable students to contextualize the Italian case within global trends in political communication that affect most Western democracies. Students will learn how to evaluate the ways in which the media contribute to democracy from a normative standpoint and to appreciate how different types of media systems affect citizens’ levels of information and political participation. Moreover, they will learn about parties, party systems, and party identification, which will allow them to better understand the dynamics of elections and vote choice. Building on this groundwork, the second part of the course will deal with the history of political communication in Italy from the post-War era until present-day developments.

  • Warporn Warpunk! Autonomous Videopoesis in Wartime Matteo Pasquinelli
    492 / Sarai Reader 2005: Bare Acts Warporn Warpunk! Autonomous Videopoesis in Wartime Matteo Pasquinelli Grinning Monkeys How do you think you can stop war without weapons? Anti-war opinion that fills public squares around the world stands as powerless in front of the raging US military as the cosmetic democracy of International Courts. Reason cannot prevail against the animal instincts of a superpower: a homicidal force can be arrested only by another, stronger force. Every day we witness such a Darwinian show: history repeating itself through a cruel confrontation of forces, while “freedom of speech” plays itself out as an ineffectual drawing room exercise. Pacifists too are accomplices of instinctive forces, because animal aggressiveness is within us all. How do we express that bestiality for which we condemn armies? Contrary to the self- censored exterior of the radical left (not only that of the conformist majority), it should be admitted publicly that watching Abu Ghraib pictures of pornographic tortures does not scandalise us. On the contrary, it excites us in exactly the same way as the obsessive voyeurism that draws us to 9/11 videos. Through such images we feel the expression of repressed instincts, the pleasure rising again after its narcotisation by consumerism, technologies, goods and images. We show our teeth, as monkeys do, when their aggressive grin looks dreadfully like the human smile. Contemporary thinkers like Baudrillard and Zizek acknowledge the dark side of Western culture. If 9/11 has been a shock for Western consciousness, Baudrillard puts forward a more shocking thesis: we Westerners had an active desire for 9/11, the death drive of a superpower that, having reached its natural limits, knows and desires nothing more than self-destruction and war.

  • Contribution to the Universal Periodic Review Mechanism Seventh Session of the Working Group of the Universal Periodic Review
    6o Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3GA T: 020 7324 2522 Contribution to the Universal Periodic Review Mechanism Seventh session of the Working Group of the Universal Periodic Review A submission on the Republic of Italy by Index on Censorship 30 August 2009 Introduction Index on Censorship welcomes the opportunity provided by the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights to comment on the situation for freedom of expression in the Republic of Italy, with which it has been concerned for a number of years. In comparison with other western states, the Italian media role as ‘fourth estate’ and watchdog of political authority has declined since the late 1970s and the Lockheed scandal when press exposés forced the resignation of then President Giovanni Leone. A monolithic political structure and an established system of state influence over the broadcast media in the years that followed, cleared the way for what Index on Censorship believes is today’s failure to regulate a well documented conflict of interest between the media and current prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. Prime minister Berlusconi’s political authority over public broadcasting, matched by his corporate authority over most of Italy’s major private media, gives him unprecedented governmental, political and economic control over the nation’s media. As may be expected, it is disputed whether this control is overtly applied by himself, or via members of the ruling People of Freedom political party, or covertly through his various alleged past and present private associations, including the outlawed P2 Masonic lodge, or indeed at all. Again the advantages may or may not be applied in his interest or in the interests of his many business associates.

  • Communication, Power and Counter-Power in the Network Society1
    International Journal of Communication 1 (2007), 238-266 1932-8036/20070238 Communication, Power and Counter-power in the Network Society1 MANUEL CASTELLS Annenberg School for Communication University of Southern California This article presents a set of grounded hypotheses on the interplay between communication and power relationships in the technological context that characterizes the network society. Based on a selected body of communication literature, and of a number of case studies and examples, it argues that the media have become the social space where power is decided. It shows the direct link between politics, media politics, the politics of scandal, and the crisis of political legitimacy in a global perspective. It also puts forward the notion that the development of interactive, horizontal networks of communication has induced the rise of a new form of communication, mass self-communication, over the Internet and wireless communication networks. Under these conditions, insurgent politics and social movements are able to intervene more decisively in the new communication space. However, corporate media and mainstream politics have also invested in this new communication space. As a result of these processes, mass media and horizontal communication networks are converging. The net outcome of this evolution is a historical shift of the public sphere from the institutional realm to the new communication space. Introduction: Power making by mind framing Throughout history communication and information have been fundamental sources of power and counter-power, of domination and social change. This is because the fundamental battle being fought in society is the battle over the minds of the people. The way people think determines the fate of norms and values on which societies are constructed.

  • Forecasting in the Politics of Spectacle, from Berlusconi to Grillo: the Narrative of Impolite Politics
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 4, No. 2, 2012, 305-322 Forecasting in the Politics of Spectacle, From Berlusconi to Grillo: The Narrative of Impolite Politics Christian Ruggiero University of Rome “La Sapienza” Abstract: Two highly significant strengths may be identified in Silvio Berlusconi’s communicative strategies during Italian general elections from 1994 to 2008: first, an innovative and skilful use of the narrative as political tool; second, the introduction of impoliteness into Italian political debates. This latter point may be viewed both as an expression of his ability to manage the political arena as a spectacle and as an innovative political skill in the era of visibility and political scandals. His forced retirement from government in 2011, and the subsequent season of understatement brought about by the technocratic government led by Mario Monti, has emphasised the communicative value, for a political leader able to create and manage them, of a narrative and code of impolite politics similar to that of Berlusconi. Such a leader could be identified in Beppe Grillo, whose MoVimento 5 Stelle achieved significant results in the 2012 local elections and dominated the political agenda mainly through Grillo's direct and impolite communicative style which addressed both his political opponents and the MoVimento's ‘dissident’ militants. What might happen when Grillo, the new Comedian, who already appears as a champion of impolite politics inaugurated by Berlusconi, runs against Berlusconi the old Comedian in the forthcoming general election? Keywords: Berlusconi, Grillo, politics as a spectacle, political scandal, storytelling. Introduction Silvio Berlusconi’s success in Italian politics can be attributed to three elements: being the first to understand the importance of self-managing one’s image; having the ability to build and develop a winning political narrative; being the only Italian politician convincingly to present himself as a ‘man of the people’.

Each of us has his or her phenotype thanks to which others recognize us. Our fi gure is thus precious to us be- cause the traits composing it are meant to make our appearance unique, different from others. In this book I use the analogy with body fi gure to explore some disfi gurements of democracy. The analogy of the “body” in po liti cal thought is as old as refl ection on politics. Theories of po liti cal legitimacy have been developed as theories on the substance of the body politic, what makes it po liti cal.
