Migrazioni e comunicazione politica Le elezioni regionali 2018 tra vecchi e nuovi media

[Autom. eng. transl.] How much has there been talk of immigration in the two 2018 campaigns for the renewal of the Presidency of the Lazio and Lombardy Regions? What were the adopted tones, the ideas and the advanced arguments, the stories pushed to the fore? How have traditional media, such as television and the press, interacted with new media such as Facebook and Twitter? How much did the citizens themselves contribute to narrating? And how much could the issue of migration have weighed on the electoral results of the two regions? The volume, the result of the collaboration between the Catholic University (Department of Communication and Entertainment Sciences) and ISMU, tries to answer these questions by fielding an interdisciplinary methodology: researchers of political sciences, sociology, mediology, semiotics and analysis of social networks they collaborated to map flows and phenomena of the electoral mediascape complex. A composite picture emerges, in which the issue of immigration in its more or less "viral" versions contaminates and activates or reactivates a large number of other issues: from safety to work, from tourism to cultural and religious belonging, from identity race to ideological. Immigration therefore passes through old and new mechanisms of political communication, revealing at the same time old powers and new resources.
