Giuliana Sorci
Giuliana Sorci is a ValCon Project – ‘Value Conflicts in a Differentiated Europe: The Impact of Digital Media on Value Polarisation in Europe’ – post-doctoral research fellow at Scuola Normale Superiore, Florence, Italy. From 2016 to 2019 Sorci had been a Ph.D. student in political science at the University of Catania. During her doctorate, her research interest focused on social movements’ political communication; in particular, her research project revolved around analysis of alternative social networks as a new frontier of digital media. In parallel, Sorci carried out research in the field of Italian territorial movements like No Muos, No Tav and No Ponte by publishing, as co-author, two articles – ‘Do LULU movements in Italy fight mafia and corruption? Framing processes and “antisystem” struggles in the No Tav, No Bridge and No Muos case studies’ and ‘LULU movements in multilevel struggles: A comparison of four movements in Italy’, respectively, in the PaCo – Partecipazione e Conflitto and Rivista Italiana di Politiche Pubbliche revues. In December 2016, Sorci took part in the ‘Anticorrp UE7 – PQ Cooperation’ (‘Anticorruption policies revisioned: Global trends and European response to the challenge of corruption’) project as a researcher. In 2015, Sorci published the book I Social Network: Nuovi Sistemi di Sorveglianza e Controllo Sociale (Social Networks: New Systems of Surveillance and Social Control) (Edizioni La Zisa, 2015), where analysis of how practices of surveillance and social control are being implemented on commercial platforms was performed.
