civic engagement in virtual and augmented reality worlds based on the
Metaverse idea.
Starting from the literature and studies on virtual worlds and digital
environments in STS, media studies and sociological studies of imaginaries,
the project aims to trace and analyze mainstream narratives and discursive
practices that co-construct the Metaverse as a technology and a space of
social interaction, analyzing the interpretations and activities of "early
users" and platforms in the Italian context.
The researchers will carry out data collection both online and in person in
specific settings that will be identified on the Italian territory. Good
knowledge of Italian and English is required.
