Face Attack in Italian Politics: Beppe Grillo's Insulting Epithets
1 Face attack in Italian politics: Beppe Grillo’s insulting epithets for other politicians1 ABSTRACT The second largest party in the Italian Parliament, the “5-Star Movement” is led by comedian-turned-politician Beppe Grillo. Grillo is well-known for a distinctive and often inflammatory rhetoric, which includes the regular use of humorous but insulting epithets for other politicians, such as Psiconano (“Psychodwarf”) for Silvio Berlusconi. This paper discusses a selection of epithets used by Grillo on his blog between 2008 and 2015 to refer to Berlusconi and three successive centre-left leaders. We account for the functions of the epithets in terms of Spencer-Oatey’s (2002, 2008) multi- level model of “face” and of Culpeper’s (2011) “entertaining” and “coercive” functions of impoliteness. We suggest that our study has implications for existing models of face and impoliteness and for an understanding of the evolving role of verbal aggression in Italian politics. 1. Introduction In the 2013 Italian general election, just under a quarter of the votes went to Il Movimento Cinque Stelle (The 5-Star Movement, or M5S) – a new political entity which had been founded four years before by comedian- turned-politician Beppe Grillo. One of the distinctive characteristics of Grillo’s language as leader of M5S is the coinage of humorous but insulting epithets for other politicians. Below is an extract from an online ‘political communiqué’ written by Grillo shortly after the 2008 general election: I partiti erano uno e bino, psiconano e Topo Gigio. PDL e PD-meno- elle […].(Grillo, n.d., Communiqué number 13) “The parties were one and two-in-one, psychodwarf and Gigio Mouse. -
Qui Comincia L'avventura... Elezioni Politiche 2013
Qui comincia l'avventura... Elezioni politiche 2013 A cura di Corrado Bevilacqua I libri di Belfagor Corradobevilacqua.wordpress.com Premessa I nostri politici, infatti, sono usi a dare il peggio di se stessi proprio in campagna elettorale. Vediamoli all'ora all'opera. Chi non fosse interessato alla cosa, può saltare piè pari alla seconda e terza parte dove si parla dei problemi dei quali non si parlerà in campagna elettorale o se ne parlerà per slogan. Se il buon giorno di vede dal mattino... "Discussione con Lega ancora in corso. Alcune importanti questioni, però, non ci convincono e potrebbero indurci a separare nostro percorso", scrive il segretario del Pdl Angelino Alfano su Twitter. Le parole di Alfano arrivano al termine di un vertice fra Pdl e Lega nella residenza milanese di via Rovani di Silvio Berlusconi. Presente, per il Carroccio, il responsabile organizzativo Roberto Calderoli, che ha raggiunto Berlusconi, Alfano, Formigoni e Verdini che erano già presenti per il pranzo. Assente il segretario della Lega Roberto Maroni, che via Twitter ha fatto sapere di essere in via Bellerio al lavoro per la campagna elettorale. Calderoli ha lasciato dopo circa due ore la residenza milanese di Berlusconi. L'ex ministro, si legge in un lancio Ansa, unico esponente della Lega presente, non ha rilasciato dichiarazioni. La richiesta di un'alleanza in Lombardia prima di discutere di quella (eventuale) sul piano nazionale e anche il no, ribadito ancora, a una premiership di Silvio Berlusconi sarebbero i principali punti di divergenza fra la Lega e il Pdl. L'incontro di oggi a Milano, in via Rovani, ha rimandato ancora le decisioni di "qualche giorno": al Pdl non sarebbe nemmeno piaciuta l'impuntatura di Maroni su una condivisione totale del programma legato alla sua candidatura lombarda. -
The Regional Elections of 2010: Much Ado About Nothing?
Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 2, No. 1, 2010, 137-45 The Regional Elections of 2010: Much Ado about Nothing? Antonio Floridia Electoral Observatory of the Region of Tuscany Abstract: This article, taking its point of departure from the research presented at the annual workshop of the Italian Society for Electoral Studies, analyses the principal outcomes of the elections held in 13 Italian regions on 27 and 28 March 2010. One of the most significant features of these elections is that they do not appear to have resulted in any major changes with respect to the electoral cycle initiated in Italy by the parliamentary elections of 2008. Featuring a very low level of turnout, typical of “second-order” elections and affecting all the parties, the only winners were the parties (the Northern League and Italy of Values) which managed to consolidate their support or limit their losses. The article then analyses in more detail the result obtained by the Democratic Party and dwells on the fact that the success of the centre right, despite winning four of the regions previously governed by the centre left, does not seem, however, to have reinforced the Berlusconi government due to the growing political significance of the League and the conflicts this produces. Ultimately, the regional elections have highlighted all of the dillemmas affecting Italian politics without resolving any of them. Keywords: Berlusconi, regional elections, Lega Nord, Democratic Party As it has become accustomed to doing in the wake of a round of elections, SISE, the Italian Society for Electoral Studies (Società Italiana di Studi Elettorali), decided this year too to organise a workshop – which took place in Milan on 10 May, a few weeks after the regional elections, at the headquarters, and with the support of the Milan provincial government. -

M Franchi Thesis for Library
The London School of Economics and Political Science Mediated tensions: Italian newspapers and the legal recognition of de facto unions Marina Franchi A thesis submitted to the Gender Institute of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, May 2015 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 88924 words. Statement of use of third party for editorial help (if applicable) I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Hilary Wright 2 Abstract The recognition of rights to couples outside the institution of marriage has been, and still is, a contentious issue in Italian Politics. Normative notions of family and kinship perpetuate the exclusion of those who do not conform to the heterosexual norm. At the same time the increased visibility of kinship arrangements that evade the heterosexual script and their claims for legal recognition, expose the fragility and the constructedness of heteronorms. During the Prodi II Government (2006-2008) the possibility of a law recognising legal status to de facto unions stirred a major controversy in which the conservative political forces and the Catholic hierarchies opposed any form of recognition, with particular acrimony shown toward same sex couples. -
Modern Italy, Special Issue “The Force of History”, 22, 4, 445–70
1 This is the author’s accepted manuscript. For published article, see: “Legacies of Fascism: Architecture, Heritage and Memory in contemporary Italy”, Modern Italy, special issue “The Force of History”, 22, 4, 445–70, https://doi.org/10.1017/mit.2017.51 Legacies of Fascism: Architecture, Heritage and Memory in contemporary Italy Hannah Malone Abstract This article examines how Italy has dealt with the physical remains of the Fascist regime as a window onto Italian attitudes to the past. The ventennio left indelible marks on Italy’s cities in the form of urban projects, individual buildings, monuments, plaques and street names. In effect, the survival of physical traces contrasts with the hazy memories of Fascism that exist within the Italian collective consciousness. Conspicuous, yet mostly ignored, Italy’s Fascist heritage is hidden in plain sight. However, from the 1990s, buildings associated with the regime have sparked a number of debates regarding the public memory of Fascism. Although these debates present an opportunity to re-examine history, they may also be symptomatic of a crisis in the Italian polity and of attempts to rehabilitate Fascism through historical revisionism. Keywords: Fascism, Christopher Duggan, legacy, de-fascistization, architecture, Benito Mussolini Introduction From 1945 to today, the Fascist period has cast a long, but indeterminate, shadow over Italian culture and politics. Although Fascism is fundamental to the identity of republican Italy as an anti-Fascist state, public memories are hazy, selective and unreliable (Corner 2005, 176; Ventresca 2006, 200; Fogu 2006, 67). While the ventennio dominates Italian historiography, it occupies an ambiguous position in Italy’s collective consciousness. -
Challenger Party List
Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.

Exchange and Western Capital- ism since 1700. [Material Cultures.] Routledge, London [etc.] 1995. xvi, 240 pp. £45.00. In 1982 Neil McKendrick, John Brewer and J.H. Plumb helped to open up a new area of social and cultural history by publishing The Birth of a Consumer Society: The Commercialization of Eighteenth-Century England (London, Europa). There had been earlier studies, but in economic history consumption had clearly caught the imagination less than production. Social historians had focused on the living standards of those who were supposed barely able to survive. But mass production at one end of the economy presupposes mass consumption at least somewhere else, in a domestic or foreign market, among workers or other classes.1 Production was in fact the vantage point of much early research in the history of consumption. The range and quality of goods produced gave at least some information about the buying public. As the title of the seminal work by McKendrick, Brewer and Plumb indicates, one of the questions which prompted the history of consumption is how (and when) mass consumption originated. Once, long ago, goods were typically produced for known customers, on demand and to their specifications, as single items or in small quantities, by workers they knew personally. -
