Study Notes
Salvini, Stereotypes, and Cultural Translation
- This paper analyzes the semiotic affordances of anglophone (primarily British and US) news brands in their portrayal of Italian politician Matteo Salvini.
- The study uses multimodal critical discourse analysis, focusing on cultural translation within news discourse.
- The research examines the interaction of image and text in the portrayal of Salvini, particularly analyzing how Salvini is presented as a synecdoche of Italian identity.
- The analysis investigates the role cultural translation plays in constructing Salvini's image.
- The study posits that while news producers might share some ideological viewpoints with Salvini, the use of conventional Italian stereotypes often overrides these viewpoints.
- Anglophone news brands have taken a critical stance toward Italian political leaders, particularly during Berlusconi's time in office.
- The 2018 Italian general election led to a period of increased international scrutiny of Italian politics, most notably the rise of Salvini in popularity in the UK and US media, which this study examines.
- The methodological framework combines journalistic translation studies, news discourse analysis, and multimodal critical discourse analysis.
Cultural Translation in News Contexts
- Cultural translation in news contexts is a complex process where journalists become intercultural mediators who reformulate foreign discursive events for a target audience, often perpetuating national stereotypes.
- Images, videos, and hyperlinks are crucial paratextual elements influencing news interpretation and public opinion.
- Conscious or subconscious adoption of stereotypical imagery and framing in news plays a role in shaping public understanding of other cultures.
Multimodality in Digital News
- The study highlights the growing importance of multimodal elements (images, videos, hyperlinks, readers' comments) in constructing news narratives online.
- The "shift" of news story structure, and the increasing dominance of visual elements in online news narratives is analyzed.
- News outlets often create their own multimodal interpretations of events using a visual language that supports the verbal description of the news story.
Politicians in Translation
- News narratives often center on what prominent individuals say rather than focusing on events.
- Foreign news reporting frequently includes quotes from foreign politicians, often without clearly indicating that these quotes have been translated, leading to potentially misleading or culturally skewed interpretations.
- Translated news reports can invisibly manipulate political discourse by using imagery, highlighting words, and omitting nuance, which is crucial to accurately representing the political narrative of a foreign politician.
Social Media and Framing
- Social media, especially Twitter, has significantly changed how politicians communicate and how news is delivered.
- The study specifically examines how politicians on social media affect news reports about them in foreign countries.
- It discusses news sources using specific phrases, stereotypes, or cultural cues to contextualize their news reports.
Research Design
- The research selected prominent anglophone news providers to analyze news representations of Salvini.
- It focused on online news from news providers with relatively neutral to center-right political leanings to identify any possible underlying bias.
- The time frame analyzed was from the 2018 Italian general election to March 2019, focusing on events that sparked significant global news discussion.
- News database searches were supplemented by manual searches on individual news website sources for relevant multimodal materials.
Little Mussolinis
- The emergence of the term 'little Mussolini' when discussing Salvini, and its links to historical dictators, serves as a framing device, highlighting Salvini's perceived threat to democratic values.
- The use of Mussolini's (image/representation) in news stories draws comparisons to historically problematic leaders, adding a significant layer of meaning.
