This thesis explores the potential of Web 2.0 and the impact of social media on society, particularly focusing on the emergence of new tools for social activism, with an emphasis on the specific cases of Donnexstrada, Violawalkhome, and ViolaAPP. The main objective is to analyze how these innovative digital platforms manage to promote women’s empowerment and personal security and to demonstrate that the web 2.0 is not a dark space as portrayed by pessimistic views but that, with its key principles of sharing, interaction and collaboration, can be an effective tool to support change for the common good. By using a qualitative approach, supported by an accurate analysis of the context of the birth of the web and social networks and the operational dynamics of the two associations, a proposal for a podcast communication strategy has been developed to amplify the impact of these initiatives. The proposal aims to provide an effective tool for raising awareness, involving the public in a direct, empathetic and accessible way. In conclusion, the work done shows that the integration of podcasts can further strengthen the digital presence and social message of both organizations, especially Violawalkhome, allowing it to amplify its impact. The results highlight, in particular, how the web 2.0 and modern social media, thanks to their capacity of virality and sharing, can generate good and can also contribute significantly to raising awareness and partially addressing social issues.
Questa tesi esplora le potenzialità del Web 2.0 e l’impatto dei social media sulla società e, soprattutto, sull’affermazione di nuovi strumenti per l’attivismo sociale, focalizzandosi sui casi specifici di Donnexstrada, Violawalkhome e ViolaAPP. L'obiettivo principale è quello di analizzare come queste innovative piattaforme digitali riescano a promuovere l'empowerment femminile e la sicurezza personale e dimostrare come il web 2.0 non sia uno spazio oscuro come descritto dagli apocalittici ma che, con i suoi principi cardine di condivisione, interazione e collaborazione, può costituire uno strumento efficace per assecondare un cambiamento a servizio del bene comune. Utilizzando un approccio qualitativo, supportato da un’analisi accurata del contesto di nascita del web e dei social network e delle dinamiche operative delle due associazioni, è stata sviluppata una proposta di strategia di comunicazione tramite podcast per amplificare l'impatto di queste iniziative. La proposta mira a fornire uno strumento efficace di sensibilizzazione, coinvolgendo il pubblico in modo diretto, empatico e accessibile. In conclusione, il lavoro svolto dimostra che l'integrazione dei podcast può rafforzare ulteriormente la presenza digitale e il messaggio sociale delle due organizzazioni, specialmente di Violawalkhome, permettendole di amplificare il proprio impatto. I risultati evidenziano, in particolare, come il web 2.0 e i moderni social media, grazie alle loro capacità di diffusione virale e condivisione per generare del bene, possono contribuire significativamente alla sensibilizzazione e risoluzione parziale di tematiche sociali.

Abstract
This thesis explores the potential of Web 2.0 and the impact of social media on society, particularly focusing on the emergence of new tools for social activism, with an emphasis on the specific cases of Donnexstrada, Violawalkhome, and ViolaAPP. The main objective is to analyze how these innovative digital platforms manage to promote women’s empowerment and personal security and to demonstrate that the web 2.0 is not a dark space as portrayed by pessimistic views but that, with its key principles of sharing, interaction and collaboration, can be an effective tool to support change for the common good. By using a qualitative approach, supported by an accurate analysis of the context of the birth of the web and social networks and the operational dynamics of the two associations, a proposal for a podcast communication strategy has been developed to amplify the impact of these initiatives. The proposal aims to provide an effective tool for raising awareness, involving the public in a direct, empathetic and accessible way. In conclusion, the work done shows that the integration of podcasts can further strengthen the digital presence and social message of both organizations, especially Violawalkhome, allowing it to amplify its impact. The results highlight, in particular, how the web 2.0 and modern social media, thanks to their capacity of virality and sharing, can generate good and can also contribute significantly to raising awareness and partially addressing social issues.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
