Topics of interest

Repertoires of information disorder and their radicalizing potential. 
Analysis of how manipulative narratives—including imposter content, 
conspiracy theories, and polarizing discourse—shape affective and 
cognitive climates that enable trajectories of radicalization.

Economy of emotions and dynamics of affective radicalization. Study of 
the role of intensified emotionality in amplifying extreme messages, 
delegitimizing the political adversary, and eroding trust in institutions.

Artificial intelligence and automated ID. Exploration of the impact of 
content automation, recommender systems, and generative models on the 
production of ID and the segmentation of the public sphere.

Algorithmic segmentation, fragmented public opinion, and crisis of 
representation. Research on how the architecture of digital platforms 
shapes personalized information environments, reinforces ideological 
bubbles, and affects the ties between citizenship, intermediation, and 
political representation.
