Questo articolo confronta la visione democratica del Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S) con le sue pratiche di partecipazione online. Nella prima parte viene analizzata la produzione discorsiva dei suoi leader e degli eletti. Gli elementi fondamentali della concezione democratica del M5S riguardano la critica e il superamento della democrazia rappresentativa così come l’elaborazione di una concezione cyberutopistica che vede il web come una tecnologia di libertà e come soggetto attivo ed autocosciente. Nella seconda parte viene presa in considerazione la realizzazione concreta degli ideali democratici del Movimento attraverso l’analisi dei principali strumenti di partecipazione online. Mediante un’analisi critica di 39 votazioni online e di 239 discussioni su progetti di legge svoltesi sulla piattaforma Rousseau tra il 2013 e il 2016, si evidenzia il continuo declino della partecipazione nel tempo.

Abstract
This article contrasts the democratic vision of the Five Star Movement (FSM) with its practices of online participation. The first section focuses on the discursive production of its leaders and representatives. The main pillars of the democratic vision of the Movement concerns criticisms and possible improvements of representative democracy as well as the elaboration of a cyberutopian conception understanding the internet as a technology of freedom and an active and self-conscious subject. The second section addresses the concrete realization of the democratic ideals of the Movement by analysing its main instruments of online participation. Based on a critical analysis of 39 online ballots and 239 discussions on draft laws that took place on the ‘Rousseau’ platform between 2013 and 2016 the ongoing decline of participation over time is detected and discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
