Mediated Citizenship

Mediated Citizenship: Political Information and Participation in Europe

ECREA Political Communication Section and Institute of Communications Studies, University of Leeds

Venue: University of Leeds, United Kingdom

Date: Sep 17 – Sep 18, 2009

Contact: k.voltmer@leeds.ac.uk

In June 2009 European citizens will elect a new European Parliament, some of them who joined the European Union only recently for the first time. 2009 will also see numerous national elections throughout Europe. The Political Communication section will take this important election year in Europe as an opportunity to revisit one of the key issues of political communication research – how democratic participation is shaped and transformed by processes of mediatisation and what consequences this has for the nature of contemporary citizenship.

Petizione per la neutralità della rete

Di seguito una petizione ai candidati premier alle prossime elezioni (di tutti gli schieramenti) per la neutralità della rete, promossa dal Prof. Gianni Orlandi e dall’associazione Auris (Associazione Università Ricerca Innovazione Società).

Appello ai candidati premier per la neutralità della rete
L’evoluzione delle tecnologie e dei sistemi di comunicazione consentirà sempre più rapidamente di moltiplicare servizi e applicazioni. La convergenza sempre più spinta delle tecnologie e l’uso di internet stanno rivoluzionando il modo di comunicare, consentendo l’accesso all’informazione e la connettività da ogni luogo e in ogni momento. Tali trasformazioni tecnologiche condizioneranno in modo cruciale lo sviluppo economico e sociale del paese, ma anche la qualità della nostra democrazia, che deve assicurare in modo equo e universale l’accesso all’informazione e la possibilità di una partecipazione diretta e consapevole. Internet è stata concepita ed è cresciuta come struttura aperta e non condizionabile: tale deve rimanere nel futuro, nell’interesse dei cittadini e di tutti i soggetti che vogliono sviluppare servizi innovativi. 
Per tutto ciò è indispensabile: 
una infrastruttura di rete a larga banda diffusa ed efficiente, un vero e proprio sistema di autostrade, che consenta il transito di quantità crescenti di informazioni in modo rapido;
la possibilità per chiunque di accedere alla rete quando e come vuole.
Al di là del problema della proprietà della rete, è esigenza ineludibile la neutralità della rete, intesa come:
garanzia di un servizio universale, che consenta a tutti i cittadini la possibilità di connettersi alla rete a larga banda per comunicare tra loro, accedere alle informazioni e per scambiarle senza discriminazioni;
pari opportunità di accesso e pari condizioni di costo e qualità di trasmissione a tutti gli soggetti che vogliono entrare nel mercato dell’informazione, trasmettendo contenuti nella rete a larga banda.
Per questi motivi chiediamo ai candidati premier di impegnarsi ora, durante la campagna elettorale, a produrre entro i primi 100 giorni della prossima legislatura una normativa che garantisca la neutralità della rete.


Gianni Orlandi, Professore ordinario di ICT, Università Roma “La Sapienza”, Presidente AURIS onlus; Rita Besson, Docente Economia e organizzazione aziendale, Università Roma “La Sapienza”, Segretario AURIS onlus; Pasquale Russo, Coordinatore dei centri studi e ricerca di Link Campus University of Malta; Renato Brunetti, Presidente Unidata.
