Fuori e dentro la Rete. Dinamiche e derive della socialità tra pari digital

di Cristina Pasqualini

Anno: 2009

RÉSUMÉ L’essai propose une lecture sociologique des principaux lieux et formes de sociabilité entre pairs, à la fois dans la vie réelle et en ligne. Parmi les nombreuses variantes de sociabilité des jeunes, dont beaucoup sont définis comme ‘vertueuses’, une attention particulière est consacrée à deux types de pratiques considérées comme ‘à risque’ et considérées comme ‘socialement non acceptables’, c’est-à-dire l’intimidation et la cyberintimidation. Deux pratiques différentes, mais étroitement liés: la première réelle et la seconde présentée par les nouveaux médias. Si l’intimidation est un ensemble de pratiques mises en oeuvre dans un contexte réel, de coexistence de l’espace-temps d’un ou plusieurs agresseurs, conçue pour apporter un dommage psychologique, physique ou matériel contre un ou plusieurs victimes, la cyber-intimidation fait référence à une façon particulière d’utiliser les technologies de la communication (le plus souvent le réseau) par des enfants (et d’ autres) dans le but explicite – même si pas toujours pleinement conscient – de nuire à autrui, le plus souvent à ses pairs ou, plus simplement, à des individus n’appartenant pas à leurs réseaux d’amitié. SUMMARY This paper aims to sketch a sociological reading of the main places and shapes of sociability among peers, both real life and online. Among the many variations that sociability of young people can take – many of which defined as ‘virtuous’ – particular attention will be paid to two types of practices perceived as ‘risky’ and considered as ‘socially intolerable’: bullying and cyberbullying. The former is a set of practices acted in a real and shared context and aimed to bring psychological, physical or material harm against one or more selected victims. The latter instead designates a specific way of using communication technologies (most often the Internet) by children (and other young people) with the explicit purpose – even if not always fully conscious – to harm others, most often peers or people not just belonging to their friendship networks.

Discorsi di famiglia. Il detto e il non detto della famiglia nei discorsi sociali e nei media digital

di Piermarco Aroldi, Barbara Gasparini, Fabio Introini, Cristina Pasqualini

Anno: 2008

The article starts from the consideration of how the basic and structural role that the family represents in the human experience and in the social fabric exposes it to be the object of consideration of cultural agencies and collective subjects which often represent it according to, partial, when not distorted logics. So the cohabitation of a plurality of discourses about the family, publicly pronounced from different social subjects are able to produce as many images and collective representations of the family. The focusing of this contribution concerns some typologies of social subjects responsible of the media discourses on the family, the ways in which they conceive the family experience and its priorities today, how much they are aware of this subjective perception, what they think it is the common feeling about the family reality, and how this awareness today – together with the with those more strictly professional related to the markets, the languages and the public which they address – enter the process of construction of their discourses, and therefore in the media imagination depending on them. The article examines the aware and unaware conditioning which drive the process of mediation operated by those professional categories of mediators and cultural operators on which depends the production of a real social representation of the family experience: journalists of the printed paper, on one side, fiction scriptwriters and producers advertising creative people, on the other. Every type of family representation produced is investigated; the rules and the inside limitations to the discursive genre and the specific productive system; the awareness level of the operators with respect to such norms and, consequently, the perception of the limitations and inadequacies with respect to the representative, creative, and axiological demands, of the operators themselves A plurality of images of families emerges on one side anchored to the common sense, but showing on the other the plurality of meanings and the changes to which the family is submitted in the present society. Therefore, the strategies of the discursive production on family, according to the considered sector, stir along the axle that almost goes from the adherence almost ‘naturalistic’ to the complexity of the family reality to its fictional transfiguration.
