Giuliana Sorci is Research Fellow at the University of Siena. From 2021 to 2024, I was a Research Fellow at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa and Florence) where I worked on the Valcon and PopSphere projects. From 2016 to 2019, I was a PhD student in Political Science at the University of Catania. During my doctorate, my research focused on the political communication of social movements. My research project analyzed alternative social networks as a new frontier in digital media. In parallel, I conducted research on Italian territorial movements such as No Muos, No Tav, and No Ponte, which resulted in the co-authorship of two articles: “Do LULU Movements in Italy Fight Mafia and Corruption? Framing Processes and ‘Anti-System’ Struggles in the No Tav, No Bridge, and No Muos Case Studies” (published in PaCo – Partecipazione e Conflitto) and “LULU Movements in Multilevel Struggles: A Comparison of Four Movements in Italy” (published in Rivista Italiana di Politiche Pubbliche). In December 2016, as a researcher, I participated in the Anticorrp UE7-PQ Cooperation project (Anticorruption Policies Revisited – Global Trends and European Responses to the Challenge of Corruption). In 2015, I published the book Social Networks: New Systems of Surveillance and Social Control, which analyzed how surveillance and social control practices are implemented on commercial platforms.
