Conceptual Framework and Integrative Sources #1
1. Cognitive Corridors
Cultural and symbolic structures that limit what can be thought and said. Cognitive corridors are implicit circuits that define what is sayable and thinkable in a given historical moment. Example: during the pandemic, only certain narratives were acceptable on talk shows and in public documents. This is a cognitive corridor.
2. Flow
A continuous and often cross-border movement of material and immaterial resources, governed by visible or invisible infrastructures.
3. Node
A point of concentration and intermediation of flows (capital, data, energy, goods) that determines strategic power regardless of territory.
4. Crisis of Recognition
A political phenomenon in which the citizen no longer feels seen or represented by institutions, even if formally included in the system. The concept refers to the misalignment between citizen and institutional structure: not only are votes missing, but mutual recognition is eroded.
Sources: European Parliament (2019), ISPI (2023), Censis (2022)
5. Multilevel Governance
An institutional structure in which multiple levels of government share decision-making responsibilities (e.g., EU, state, local authorities).
