Acknowledgments

At the moment, our desire is nameless – but it is real. (Mark Fisher)

This book originated during my PhD years at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland. I am forever in debt and grateful to Professor Stephan Russ-Mohl, my Doktorvater, who created every prerequisite that made this work become a book. USI’s Institute of Media and Journalism will always be my academic home and ‘pirate boat’, and I’m every day still surprised by the impressively talented people that this office brought together over all these years. There is something in this book to which each and every one of you has contributed. In particular, Gabriele Balbi and Colin Porlezza have been wise mentors and their constant support got me through academic life. Thanks to Matthew Hibberd for always supporting my work and ideas. Paolo Bory and Gianluigi Negro have been the best possible friends in all this. I’m grateful to Charlie Beckett, Arne Hintz, Adrienne Russell, Stefania Milan, Anya Schiffrin and Einar Thorsen for their support and attention. Thanks to Bryony Burns and Mala Sang
