Abstract
Basically, the increasingly predominant role of a genre like satire has brought about the transition from the representation/report of the imagined future to the narration/tales of events and stories based on the present, where dogmatic assertion is replaced by irony and sarcasm. As far as the objectives of the next paragraph are concerned, one of the obvious fundamental changes concerns the relationship between citizens and political authority (see Sennett, 1980). In fact, in a system where the dynamics of personalization assume the form of increasingly strong leadership and where media pervasiveness is on the rise, it is possible to see the negative consequences of an unprecedented visibility (Thompson, 1995) and the emerging criticism of a politics that is in the hands of a single charismatic figure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
