V. 26 N. 2 (2025): Risk (of) Communication: Ethics, Futures, and Strategic Complexity

Questo numero di Mediascapes Journal, Risk (of) Communication: Ethics, Futures, and Strategic Complexity, curato da Alessandro Lovari, indaga la doppia natura della comunicazione del rischio: da un lato come risposta a crisi e disastri, dall’altro come possibile fonte di rischio quando è poco strategica o eticamente problematica. Muovendosi tra crisi ambientali, ecologie digitali e IA generativa, i contributi mostrano come la comunicazione possa anticipare, amplificare o mitigare le crisi, mettendo al centro responsabilità, potere e giustizia. L’issue raccoglie 13 articoli di 27 studiose/i (16 università tra Europa, Asia e USA) e propone prospettive innovative su disinformazione, piattaforme, infrastrutture AI, conflitti geopolitici ed etica organizzativa.
