The results of the inquiry reported have been selected out of a larger data set collected during a wider research program, whose purpose is to assess the most relevant trends registered in Italy with regard to public opinion attitude toward politics. Data have been collected on the basis of a social TV approach applied to the political campaign for the election of Italian national Parliament in 2013. Processes of participation and influence registered among Twitter users, who posted at least one tweet during TV talk shows have been given to analysis.

Le prospettive di sviluppo della partecipazione dei cittadini attraverso la Rete hanno incontrato differenti visioni, più o meno ottimistiche, in merito alla possibilità che utenti poco attivi potessero trovare in Twitter uno strumento catalizzatore dell’interesse e incentivante rispetto al confronto e alla mobilitazione su temi politici. A partire da una web survey realizzata nell'ambito della ricerca sulle elezioni politiche del 2013, il contributo affronta il tema della partecipazione politica online e offline in riferimento agli utenti Twitter e alle dinamiche di leadership che si realizzano all'interno e all'esterno della piattaforma.

Abstract
The results of the inquiry reported have been selected out of a larger data set collected during a wider research program, whose purpose is to assess the most relevant trends registered in Italy with regard to public opinion attitude toward politics. Data have been collected on the basis of a social TV approach applied to the political campaign for the election of Italian national Parliament in 2013. Processes of participation and influence registered among Twitter users, who posted at least one tweet during TV talk shows have been given to analysis. Twitter users considered were about 30.000, out of which 7.000 had a recognizable public or institutional role while the remaining 23.000 could be classified as common citizens. The aim is to define both online and offline political participation on the basis of a set of variables which keep into account their social and cultural status, their age and their relational linkages inside the Italian society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
