morbìn!

Hurrà! Finalmente il nostro articolo su blog e storytelling è uscito sul numero 8.4 della rivista accademica americana ‘Recontruction’, una rivista peer-reviewed – che vuol dire che ogni articolo inviatole viene valutato anonimanente da ricercatori del suo comitato scientifico per giudicarne la bontà, o meno.

L’articolo era già apparso in italiano su ‘Digilogica’. Gli autori siamo: Enrico Marchetto, Roberto Costa e il sottoscritto. Trovate l’articolo qua, intitolato “So Far From Political Punditry: Everyday Digital Storytelling in Italy”.  Se ce ne fosse bisogno, ecco anche qua l’abstract:

Through on-line quantitative research, this paper analyses, what can be considered some of the political dimensions of blogs. The analysis cross-compares some of the narratives emerging in the on-line debate about this research (and blogging in general), and the quantitative data that resulted from a questionnaire and other studies about blogs outside Italy. After an overview of the composition of the sample, the paper outlines some of the recurrent genres used by bloggers and how these are related to political discourses. Particular relevance is given to data about female bloggers that counters the gendered focus by journalists and scholars about blog genres and definitions dominated by men and masculine values. Utilizing the most common type of blogs, narrative texts based on everyday life, Italian female bloggers engage in a valuable social practice that is based upon shared understanding within niche groups. This type of blogging questions the traditional definitions of politics as applied to the blogosphere.
