Vent’anni di scienza dei media. Un confronto tra la letteratura italiana e quella internazionale
Keywords:
media studies, scienze della comunicazione, teoria dei media, teoria criticaAbstract
L’articolo analizza lo stato delle scienze della comunicazione, attraverso un confronto tra il canone bibliografico italiano
e quello internazionale in lingua inglese. Anche se basata su dati parziali - come le ricorrenze bibliografiche di Google
Books – un’analisi di questo tipo può svelare alcune tendenze sommerse della ricerca sui media: i percorsi bizzarri del
pensiero critico, la prevalenza del lavoro empirico sulla teoria, i rapporti sospetti tra accademia e mercato, e perfino
qualche vizio più profondo del sistema italiano.
The aim of the article is to analyze the theoretical status of media studies or - how we define them in Italy -
communication sciences. The analysis is actually based on a partial survey and grounded in bibliographical data
provided by Google Books. Nonetheless such an elementary analysis can provide an insight into some tendencies of
Italian research, and namely the irregular evolution of critical theory, the preponderance of quantitative surveys, the
suspect connection between academy and market, and even a few specific flaws of our system.
