Abstract

We need to analyse how the journalistic field and the Italian intellectual world work; from the editorial world and the mechanisms which have produced the best sellers in Italy between 2001-2006, as well as the existence of a contemporary "Fallaci moment" which is connected to the "Berlusconi moment" in politics. The heroine of the '60s and '70s had by then become a racist Erinyes. Oriana Fallaci, by now stuck with a solitary Islamophobic way of thinking, has been transformed without any scruple into a media circus animal by editors; it is these very ones who, instead – along with the journalist/writer's colleagues, intimidated by her prestigious reputation and by her acrimony – could have and should have exert a minimum amount of peer review in her articles (before or after publication).
