Il neoliberismo non esiste : pratiche partecipative nella definizione di un concetto controverso

2020 - Franco Angeli

19-39 p.

  • The article focuses on the participatory practices involved in the construction of the concept of "neoliberalism" in the English and Italian pages of Wikipedia. Largely as a result of its growing conceptual ambiguity, "neoliberalism" is now widely acknowledged as a controversial, incoherent and crisis-ridden term, which is deployed in contradictory and opposite ways. The term is now less a rigorously de-fined concept than an academic catchphrase that frames criticism and resistance. Through a media frame analysis of the discussion pages of the entries, our study focuses on the negotiations, the conflicts, and the social arrangements between Wikipedians in making sense of the term.
